Chapter 722 Long Island Rich District, Birth is the End

Two helicopters and a Flame Heart Blue Rolls Royce were dispatched together. This is the travel standard for the top rich, high-profile and private, and unattainable for ordinary people.

Nowadays, as long as it is not an absolutely no-fly area, or has special needs, Wu Qian usually chooses to travel by helicopter.

Convenient, really convenient, the air in the high altitude is much better than that on the ground, at least there is not so much car exhaust.

Minister Ross was invited by Wu Qian to take a helicopter to Long Island, New York. Anyway, two helicopters have enough space.

The spectators in the terminal witnessed the lineup of the top rich people, which made them envious. Some people finally found out that the person who received the young man was actually the current Minister of Commerce of the United States.

This discovery made many people feel uneasy. A young man was actually greeted by the top leader of the U.S. Ministry of Commerce. This honor reveals too much unusual information.

"If I remember correctly, the guy who took the plane with the exaggerated smiling face is the owner of the Manchester United club. He also has a 'Red Devil' A380, which is specially used for the club. My God, I can't guess how much assets he has. ..."

"I also found out here that it is indeed him. This mysterious oriental tycoon has been active in Asia, Europe and Africa before, and has never been involved in investment projects in the United States. Now he has finally come to the United States. The Minister of Commerce personally received him. What a great treatment! "

Two young people from the United States stood in front of the big glass of the terminal chatting, their eyes full of envy, why is there such a big gap between the same young people.

A man next to him with a DSLR around his neck laughed and said, "Is the Secretary of Commerce of the United States very high-ranking? Can he be as high-ranking as Mr. Mark in our country?"

Judging from his accent, this one smelled like a strong perfume.

The time when Wu Qian entered and exited the Elysee Palace, this person happened to be taking pictures on the Champs Elysees Avenue, and accidentally recorded the scene of Yanxin Lan Phantom entering and exiting the Elysee Palace. From this, he judged that Wu Qian was very likely to be with Mr. Mark Had dinner together.

The two American teenagers looked surprised, and immediately started talking to the French man. No one said that men don't gossip, but the interests of gossip are different.

Things like this happened in many corners of the terminal. The boss of the Manchester United Club went to the United States, and the Minister of Commerce of the United States personally received him. This incident became the focus of discussion.

Wu Qian, who left Kennedy Airport by helicopter, naturally would not know that he has become the center of discussion among many people.

The helicopter headed east all the way, departing from Kennedy International Airport, and arrived in the rich area of ​​Long Island, New York about half an hour later.

Every city, whether it is developed or backward, has a corresponding level of residential areas, just like New York, where the rich live in the Long Island area.

Long Island is located on the east coast of the United States. It is a long and narrow island in the southeast of New York. The widest distance between the north and the south is about 190 kilometers, and the length is about [-] kilometers. It takes more than two hours to drive by highway.

The natural environment of Long Island is excellent, facing the sea on three sides, the scenery is very beautiful, the clear water beats the fine sand beach, the towering and eye-catching coastal lighthouse guides the way for ships, there are also famous wineries, antique historical towns, world-famous ancient Castle mansion and classic English garden.

The west boundary of Long Island is adjacent to Queens, and it is only 35 kilometers away from Manhattan, the financial center. If you want to "escape" the reinforced concrete midtown of New York, you only need to drive for three or four 10 minutes, and you can be surrounded by green trees on Long Island and a hundred birds singing Ming's paradise.

Just imagine a busy day in the financial center, with millions of people operating financial transactions every minute, giving orders to traders hysterically, using your brain to the extreme to judge the trend, and returning to this peaceful mansion in the forest after being exhausted. comfortable.

This is why countless rich people and industrialists continue to settle in Long Island. Their wealth and strength are constantly making Long Island more and more extraordinary!
Among the 25 richest towns in the United States listed earlier by American Business Weekly, nine towns in Long Island, New York are among them. In terms of overall wealth, no other region in the United States can match it.

The Long Island area has the best medical care, education and other resources in the United States. Children born in rich families don't care about the "starting line" at all, because they have already stood before the finish line, and their task is to set the finish line at a better Far away, beyond the achievements of the parents, to create a higher level of brilliance.

The Regal District of Long Island was not only the residence of the early European princes and nobles, but also many powerful families, business and financiers, writers, artists, performing arts stars, etc. have settled here in modern times, and the number of celebrities living here is countless.

Roosevelt, the former President of the United States, the Kennedy family, the powerful family Song of the Chinese Dynasty, Soros, the financial tycoon, Yang, the physicist who was the first to win the Nobel Prize in the Chinese Dynasty, etc., there are too many celebrities from all walks of life living here.

Not long after, Ball, who was driving a helicopter, found the island of the sun god that he had heard about since he was a child. As a true American, Ball knew that it was a symbol of the wealth of the Morgan family. , but now it has been taken into the pocket by his boss.

In the forest, two old men are discussing a popular movie that was released recently. They have a little different views on the use of "side light" and "top light" in the movie, and the discussion is in full swing.

The extremely focused two people were disturbed by the helicopter passing overhead, and the two old men raised their heads to look in the direction of the helicopter's departure.

"That direction is the Sun God Island of the Morgan family. Is there another movie going to be made? I don't know."

Speaking of this, it is Steven Spielberg, who is famous in Hollywood. He has won the Oscar for Best Director twice, making him one of the top directors.

The island of Helios was used for filming for a period of time, of course, it was a long time ago, and several very classic films have been cast.

Another old man stood up and stretched his body, and said: "Maybe it's just the Morgan family who are here for vacation, it's getting late, old friend, I'm going home for dinner, let's discuss the use of lighting next time, but I still stand by my point of view."

After all, the old man waved goodbye to Spielberg, took the crutch handed to him by the nanny, stood up and walked towards the manor in the south.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to discuss with Spielberg the use of lighting in movies.

The old man is also a great director with outstanding achievements. The "Godfather" series filmed under his direction was regarded as the "man's bible", which allowed him to win the Oscar for Best Director in 1975, and the Venice Film Festival in 1992. It was Francis Ford Coppola who presented the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.

Spielberg waved to Coppola, continued to stand in the forest and looked at the sky, and then left.

What kind of circle, what kind of people do you associate with? Living in the rich area of ​​Long Island, none of the neighbors is an ordinary person, because the luxury houses here are not for ordinary people.

Even if ordinary people started working in the late 100th century, they would not be able to save enough money for a manor house for more than [-] years just relying on wages alone. Scarce resources are destined to serve only the top rich.

Jamie Damon and a few of his men were at the end of the embankment leading to the island. He was very polite and did not set foot in the manor area, although the river embankment road was already Wu Qian's property.

When the helicopter flew overhead, Jamie Dimon knew that Mr. Wu had arrived, and he walked quickly towards the tarmac.

There are a total of five mansions of different styles on Helios Island, including Victorian-style buildings, modern American-style wooden villas, and Georgian-style mansions.

When Jamie Dimon passed by the Victorian-style building, he glanced at the brightly lit villa. There were many people inside, and he could see that he was very busy.

The helicopter landed on the helipad on the Sun God Island, as if it was specially prepared for Wu Qian. Two helipads were just built on this island, one big and one small.

When Wu Qian got off the helicopter, Jamie Dimon was just in front of the tarmac.

"Mr. Wu, welcome to New York, welcome to Long Island, oh... Secretary Ross, hello."

Jamie Dimon wasn't expecting to run into Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross here, which surprised him a bit.

According to his understanding, the relationship between Wu Qian and some departments in the United States does not seem to be very good, otherwise, tens of billions of funds would not be frozen in disguise, but if this is the case, why is Minister Ross so close to Wu Qian? Isn't he afraid of problems?
Jamie Dimon was surprised to see Minister Ross, but he didn't know that Minister Ross was also a little surprised to see him here. His eyes were sharp, and he saw what Dimon was holding in his hand, thinking to himself, buying real estate It is necessary to let the CEO of Mohe Chase go out in person...

Minister Ross had many questions in his mind, but he didn't say anything. After nodding his head as a sign of etiquette, he stood aside. After all, the owner of this place is Wu Qian, and the other party came for Wu.

"Mr. Damon, I'm sorry to trouble you to go there yourself."

Wu Qian walked towards Jamie Dimon, reached out and shook his hand.

After the meeting, Jamie Dimon handed a leather-sealed document bag to Wu Qian and said, "Mr. Wu, here is the contract of the Sun God Island, including the development rights of a nearby sea area, etc. The changes have been made for you, please take a look."

Wu Qian generously took over Huagui's folder, and handed it to Rosalind. He couldn't identify these things by himself, and a special person would do it for him. That's what the legal team should be busy with.

"Thank you Mr. Dimon and Chase Bank for their kindness. Tonight, I will entertain Minister Ross on the island. Why don't you have a light meal with Mr. Dimon?"

Wu Qian's polite invitation.

Facing Wu Qian's invitation, Jamie Dimon said without any hesitation: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Wu, in order to complete the procedures for the island before sunset, I left several urgent business affairs behind, I'm afraid I will have to do it today." Hurry back and work overtime, haha."

While speaking, Jamie Dimon smiled embarrassedly, very naturally, he glanced at the distance with a nostalgic look on his face, this island he had been a student and lived several times.

How could Jamie Dimon stay here for dinner, not to mention that he does have work to do, even if he has nothing to do, he has no interest in being a light bulb for the year.

Wu Qian was just saying politely. After seeing off Jamie Dimon, Wu Qian and his party walked towards the Victorian-style stone building on the island.

Of the five buildings on the island, through the mansion Wu Qian chose for reception, Minister Ross judged that Wu Qian was more interested in European architecture. Otherwise, why didn't he choose the wooden villa with modern American style?

Although the members of the Morgan family don't usually live in Helios Island, they are regularly taken care of. The whole island is not only not in the slightest decay, but it feels very popular. The green plants are neatly trimmed, and the pond is so clear that there are no rotten leaves. Even one slice.

The people who were busy in the villa were arranged by two people. One of them was of course the staff arranged by Rosalind to prepare the dinner, and the other was the servants arranged by Jamie Dimon.

Through brief training, the servants already knew that the owner's surname was no longer Morgan, but Wu.

"Dear Mr. Wu, good evening."

When Wu Qian stepped into the gate of the villa, more than a dozen servants bent down to salute.

Wu Qian glanced at the improvised servant team and said with a smile, "This is the Minister of Commerce of your country."

The servants only greet the master, and it is not good to ignore the guests. It is a pity that these servants really do not know Minister Ross. After being introduced by Wu Qian, everyone hurriedly said.

"Minister of Commerce, good evening."

"Minister Ross, good evening."

It can be seen from the untidy greetings that the common people living at the bottom do not seem to be very familiar with Ross, a high-ranking official in the United States, and some people don't even know his name.

The dinner party is ready, and a lot of delicacies are placed on the long table, including both Chinese and Western cuisines, including special delicacies from seven or eight countries, and the specifications are not low.

Just as Wu Qian and Minister Ross were sitting, and they opened the napkin and tucked it around their necklines, Rosalind walked into the restaurant with a serious expression and came to Wu Qian, expressing anxiously that she had something to say, while Minister Ross said The phone rang too.

"Excuse me."

"Excuse me."

The two said sorry to each other. Minister Ross went to the three-meter-high French window to answer the phone, while Wu Qian sat in his original position without moving, but tilted his head so that he could listen to Rosalind's soft report.

"Boss, the negotiation between Maozi and Baipao has come to a conclusion! The result deviates from your judgment..."

Hearing this, Wu Qian's heart skipped a beat, and his brows were slightly frowned, but he continued to listen, and his brows were immediately beaming with joy.

"Mao Ziguo did not agree to cut production. Not only did he not agree, but he turned the negotiating table on the spot, saying that on the basis of current production, he would increase production by 200 million barrels per day!"
