Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 28 Manhattan Mansion

Owing 2000 million US dollars to the bank, everyone present knew that Nate's father would definitely not be able to escape this prison sentence.

No matter how powerful a lawyer is, he cannot win this kind of lawsuit.

If only the Nate family could afford a lawyer now.

Originally, in this small circle, Nate's family was the poorest.

With a net worth of tens of millions, he could only be a follower next to Blair at Constance High School.

However, Nate's family is in a special situation. Nate's mother comes from a very prominent political family, and her status is roughly equivalent to that of the Kennedy family in Jamie's previous life.

This can be seen from the fact that when Nate was in college, Nate's grandfather was able to get Nate an internship in the New York Mayor's Office with just one phone call.

Including Nate later started a newspaper and was able to run for mayor of New York City before he was 30 years old.

None of this would be possible without the support of Grandpa Nate’s family.

So this family is mainly held back by Nate's father.

Nate's father is a typical Phoenix man. He started to make a fortune after marrying Nate's mother and entered the upper class society.

If Nate's father could just settle down and become a son-in-law, Nate's family might be able to live a better life now.

But Nate's father is a strong man, trying hard to prove that he is worthy of Nate's mother, but his ability is really average, and he often messes up.

Once or twice, Grandpa Nate would wipe his ass for the sake of his daughter and grandson.

For example, if Grandpa Nate hadn't taken action when borrowing money from the bank to buy Enron stock, he wouldn't have had to wait until Martin Channing's Ponzi scheme was exposed. Enron's thunderstorm alone would have been enough to bring Nate's father great misfortune.

However, after more times, Grandpa Nate looked down on Dad Nate more and more.

Jamie even suspected that Nate's father fell into the hands of Martin Channing this time. On the one hand, it may be that his luck has really declined. On the other hand, it is most likely that Nate's grandfather secretly pushed the situation and wanted to take Nate's father. Waste and burdensome people are sent directly to prison.

In this way, Nate and Nate's mother are completely relieved.

Anyway, Nate's dad borrowed money from the bank behind his family's back, so it's not Nate's and Nate's mom's fault.

Even if Nate's family and Nate's mother still have to bear part of the debt, the bank will not dare to do anything to them if they don't pay back the money due to the power of Nate's grandfather's family.

However, Nate's current house has been seized by the bank.

Nate's mother had no choice but to move to an apartment in the name of Nate's grandfather.

But the young and energetic Nate is not prepared to live there, because it means that their family will bow to their grandfather's family in the future.

Dan was deeply moved by Nate's "continuous self-improvement" fighting spirit, and immediately invited homeless Nate to stay at his home.

It happened that after Jamie moved out, Dan had a vacant bedroom in his house.

Nate glanced at Chuck and Blair, and seeing no reaction from either of them, he had no choice but to nod helplessly.

In fact, neither Chuck nor Blair had guest rooms at home, but neither of them offered to take Nate in.

The reason is simple. They are not optimistic that Nate can really live independently without relying on his grandfather's family.

After all, Nate's father has used himself as an example to prove that working hard is not as reliable as fighting for family background.

Nate will definitely not be able to escape the law of true fragrance in the end, and now he just refuses to bow to his own grandfather because of his face.

After Nate confirmed his residence in New York, Serena suddenly turned around and asked Jamie a question.

"Where are you going to live when you return to New York this time?"

Serena's plan was to have Jamie stay at the hotel with her.Although that hotel is not owned by Serena's family, it is almost the same.

For a family that can book a hotel's presidential suite for a long-term stay, it's hard for the hotel not to treat them like a boss and support them.

Of course Serena's family has a house in New York, but Serena's mother Lily has recently been busy renovating her own house.

Serena and her brother Eric have long been accustomed to the frequent changes in the style of their family's house, and are also used to the fact that their family may stay in the presidential suite of a hotel for longer than they live at home every year.

Don't ask why, just ask because there is no shortage of money.

Serena's grandmother Sissi is a well-known wealthy woman in New York. According to an exaggerated statement, her family's wealth can buy half of Manhattan.

Lily was Sissi's only daughter, and her three ex-husbands were all worth a fortune, so they all gave Lily a large sum of property when they divorced.

Now even the Chuck family, with a net worth of over [-] billion, pales in comparison to Serena's family.

Jamie could only regretfully refuse his girlfriend's kindness.

Six months ago, in order to celebrate the successful publication of the novel "Percy Jackson and the Divine Fire Thief", John gave Jamie an apartment worth tens of millions.

In his previous life, John watched helplessly as house prices in places like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou kept rising. He knew that buying something like a house should be done sooner rather than later.

Especially in New York, buying luxury apartments is also an important means of investment preservation.

If John had greeted Jamie in advance, Jamie would have definitely advised John to buy dozens more houses in Brooklyn instead of buying a house in Manhattan.

Home prices in Brooklyn are now low, with plenty of room for future appreciation, and they are easier to sell than those luxury homes on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that cost tens of millions.

However, when Jamie found out about this, John had already bought the house.

Meeting such a domineering and powerful father, Jamie really felt tired... After being led by the real estate agent to visit the penthouse apartment in the Hampshire Building on Central Park South, Jamie felt that being tired was not a problem at all. Something to accept.

This 30s building is located between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, directly next to Central Park.

You can see it from anywhere in Central Park.

Naturally, this building has become one of the best viewing buildings around Central Park, with unparalleled views.

There are a total of 36 floors in the building with 155 apartments.

Last year, a 37th-floor penthouse was added to the building, with an area of ​​more than 700 square meters, not including a large terrace facing Central Park.

The building implements a condominium system, and buyers not only have to make a one-time payment, but also undergo review by the owners committee.

With the help of a real estate brokerage company and through some legal tax avoidance methods and transfer transactions, John bought the apartment at a reserve price of only 1000 million.

Of course, the actual amount paid was more than that, but compared to the real market price of this penthouse apartment, it was still a profit.

Fortunately, John didn't even do the decoration of the house.

Otherwise, Jamie would really cry and faint in the toilet.

Living in a penthouse and enjoying the most expensive window view in the world, the decoration style is based on the aesthetics of my father's generation.

Jamie really couldn't stay in such a home for even a minute.

Over the past six months, Jamie has decorated the apartment in his favorite minimalist style.

Now that the smell of the new house has almost dissipated, and the furniture and other items have been purchased, you can just pack your bags and move in this time.
