After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 562 Two sets of large flat floors

Li Ma and Ye Wei just came to join in the fun, but they felt quite happy after playing for a while.

Mainly in the downtown area of ​​Hong Kong, it is quite rare to have such large lawns, green trees, and putting greens.

They both felt like they were in nature, walking on the grass.

Ye Wei smiled and said:

"Godmother, I like the feeling here. It's like the experience in the British countryside. It's quiet, with lots of grass and few people."

Mother Li nodded:
"Yes, I like it here too. The scenery is the same, and everything is green to the eye, which is good for physical and mental health."

Ye Wei agreed and said:

"But I am more happy when I come with my godmother. I rarely played with my mother in the past because she couldn't help but nag me about my poor technique and wrong posture, and the balls I hit would fly to nowhere. ..., So, this is great, Brother Zhuo’s skills are good, it’s just right for him to accompany my mother, and for me to accompany you.”

After playing a few games, Ms. Ye was very happy. She could win every time, but it was not easy to win, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.

After playing golf, Li Zhuo asked someone to book a reservation at a Cantonese restaurant called Taipanlou.

This restaurant was selected into the top 2019 restaurants in the world in 50, ranked first in Asia's best restaurants in 21, and ranked tenth in the world.

After arriving at the store, Li Zhuo ordered steamed Huadiao flower crab with chicken fat, geoduck clam with shrimp and roe in fish and rice soup, stir-fried clam with nine-story pagoda chili cake, Longjing chrysanthemum smoked squab, eighteen-flavor soy sauce chicken, plum cinnamon sweet and sour pork ribs , pepper beef tongue, braised beef brisket, braised bean curd skin with morels and mushrooms, kale with ginger sauce, old fire soup, etc. Finally, I ordered a red date cake as dessert.

Cantonese cuisine is all about taste. To have such a great reputation in Hong Kong, the food must taste good, and he was full of expectations.

Huadiao steamed large flower crab. The flower crab is plump and fresh, with a sweetness and appetizing taste, but the Huadiao flavor is a bit strong.

The shrimp and geoduck soup base is milky white, smooth and fresh, with the aroma of fish and geoduck. The soup is delicious, and the geoduck has a sweet and crisp texture, which is not greasy at all, which is quite outstanding.

Stir-fried clams with nine-story pagoda chili cake. This side dish is also quite amazing. A single clam can be made well. The ingredients are fresh, the chili paste is well prepared, and the aroma of the nine-story pagoda blends well.

Plum cinnamon sweet and sour pork ribs, the ribs are relatively large, coated with batter, the shell is crispy, the juice is sour and sweet, the ribs are thick, fat and thin, and elastic, and taste good.

The stewed beef brisket is stewed with spices. It is lightly seasoned and full of milk aroma. The stewed beef brisket is crispy and soft, and the taste is amazing. It is said that the best beef brisket in Hong Kong is made here.

Morels and shiitake mushrooms braised in bean curd skin. There are only other ingredients in this dish. The key is that the mushrooms are stewed very tender, as tender as tofu.

I ate the whole process without any mistakes. This restaurant has been selected into the list of the best restaurants in the world many times, which is indeed true.

Everyone was quite full and walked back to the hotel after leaving here.

That afternoon, Ms. Ye found an acquaintance to recommend an agent and took them to look at the house together.

The agent was a lady from Shu Province who had just settled in the area and was very polite to them.

"Ms. Ye, Mr. Li, do you want to see a flat-floor project or a villa project?"

"Look at both, first look at the flat floor, and then look at the villa project." Ms. Ye replied.

"Okay, ma'am, sir, what's your budget?"

Ms. Ye looked at Li Zhuo and replied:

"We don't have a certain standard. It can range from properties worth hundreds of millions to 5 million. It's best to find two houses next to each other and we can buy them together."

Li Zhuo nodded and said:
"Yes, in terms of budget and requirements, Ms. Ye and I are the same."

"I understand, you two, let's go to Jardine's Lookout in Wan Chai District of Hong Kong Island to see the large flats first. The mountain view there is a selling point."

Jardine's Lookout is a traditional wealthy area. Brother Ma has a villa here, and Liu Luanxiong also has a villa here.

The large flat they went to see was a large flat project located at 47 Perkins Road, called "dukes place", which literally translates to "the place of the dukes", but it itself translates to "the emperor's place".

This is a new housing project, which is relatively rare in the surrounding area.

After taking the elevator to the 16th floor, they entered a large flat floor with an area of ​​379 square meters.

Its biggest feature is that the horizontal hall is very large and surprisingly large. The length of the hall reaches an astonishing 26 meters. It is designed with three Roman columns and three large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, you can see the scenery at the foot of Jardine's Hill. Liu Luanxiong's villa is right in front of you. This privacy... I can only say that his villa is ruined.The horizontal hall is too long, so we designed three parts: the living room, the tea restaurant, and the dining room. The floor is also laid with irregular carpets according to the terrain characteristics, which looks unique.

According to the agent, the interior design of this project has won awards from the international design community and was carefully thought out.

There is an electric pop-up window in the corner of the living room. Once you press the button, the two floor-to-ceiling windows will pop open, instantly blending the outdoor mountain scenery with the indoors.

The appliances used in the horizontal hall are also more particular. For example, the chandelier in the restaurant comes from France. It is a Saint Louis crystal chandelier used by the royal family. The shape does not look complicated, but the price is as high as 50 Hong Kong dollars.

There are also some functional rooms in the public area. For example, behind a large screen made of wenge wood, there is a wine room + cigar room. The wine rack inside can hold hundreds of red wines.

The kitchen is next to it, and the kitchen utensils inside are all from minotticucine, a well-known Italian brand. In order to create texture, the walls of the kitchen are made of eucalyptus smoked wood grain stone, which has natural gloss and texture and color. Very comfortable.

The bedroom area is designed with three bedrooms and a study room.

The study is quite regular, with dark wall panels and a solemn look.

The master bedroom is relatively large in area, with a separate living area, including sofas, coffee tables, and TVs. The bedroom area for sleeping is not very large, about 15 square meters, and is also equipped with a cloakroom, a dressing table, and a bathroom. .

The interior design feels good, except that the scenery outside is not top-notch.

Hong Kong's top luxury homes usually have both mountain and sea views, but obviously there is no sea view here.

It seemed okay, so Li Zhuo asked about the price.

The agent said that the quoted price for this 379-square-meter apartment is RMB 2.5 million.

The price is not bad, equivalent to 66 yuan per square meter, which is relatively affordable among luxury homes on Hong Kong Island.

Ms. Ye also said that the price/performance ratio is good.

By the way, they visited the super large three-story duplex on the top floor. This unit has an area of ​​more than 700 square meters and a price as high as 6.8 million yuan.

Luxury is luxury, but the price of 6.8 million is too expensive. Li Zhuo did not consider it. Ms. Ye also said that if it was this price, she would not choose this place.

After leaving here, they then went to No. 21 Borrett Road, located in the western mid-levels of Hong Kong Island, where there is a large flat-floor residential project developed by Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Group.

In 2011, the CK Asset Group purchased the land for 116.5 billion, the second highest purchase price in Hong Kong history, and later developed three residential buildings.

The location here is more superior than Jardine's Lookout. It is also an older wealthy area. It is close to the mountains and the sea. It is also close to Central and can be reached in a few minutes by car.

What they were looking at was a 440-square-meter apartment with a price of 3.6 million yuan, nearly 82 yuan per square meter.

The activity area includes a living room, a lounge, and a dining room. The living room is separated by a separate partition, so it is not as big as the one in Jardine's Hill.

However, its outdoor scenery is outstanding. You can see a line of sea view of Victoria Harbor, and the view will be partially blocked by many tall buildings in front.

The decoration of the entire activity area cannot be said to be bad, it is relatively exquisite, but Li Zhuo feels that compared with the decoration of the top flat floors in the mainland, it is still a bit boring and not worthy of its price.

This feeling is even more obvious when you look at its bedroom.

Perhaps it is to cater to the tastes of Hong Kong's wealthy people.

You must know that Hong Kong's wealthy people who can afford such luxury homes are undoubtedly middle-aged and elderly people. Basically, their tastes are slightly conservative. For example, mahogany floors and mahogany furniture are used extensively in the bedrooms, but in fact it feels like Some of them are more traditional, at least not in line with the taste of young people like Li Zhuo.

After Li Zhuo read it, he said to Ms. Ye:
“I don’t like the decoration style too much, it feels a bit old-fashioned.”

Ye Wei nodded next to her, and she felt the same way.

After hearing this, Ms. Ye said:

"Well, I feel that its decoration is not as exquisite as the one at Jardine's Hill. The one at Jardine's Hill can be used as an alternative, but this one will not be considered."

The female agent just laughed after hearing this. It is normal for rich people from the mainland to be picky when they come to buy a house.
