Hong Kong News: Rising from Kowloon Walled City

Chapter 63: Take over a villa and hide your beauty in it!

"Isn't there a villa area in Diamond Hill east of Wong Tai Sin?"

"I plan to buy a small one. Remember to bring a few more brothers with you when the time comes, so that those who sell the houses won't make random offers."

Moving to a villa not only shows your status, but is also safer.

Now that I have some money, I will buy a small villa instead of a big one.

Besides, it is in Wong Tai Sin District, not the real wealthy area villas like Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay or Mid-Levels.

Xu Ling was thinking about letting Li Xinxin live with him after buying the villa.

The two women will meet sooner or later anyway, let's see what kind of chemical reaction will occur between them.

It is best not to be jealous of each other and engage in palace fighting.

Otherwise, Xu Ling would have to buy another villa to hide his mistress.

Of the 4000 million scrounged from the handsome guy, more than million can be used.

But after I got the A-grade goods, I bought two villas in succession, and then I didn’t have enough money.

The other 20 million are consecutive numbers and must be washed before they can be used safely.

……

Diamond Hill, Lion Hill villa area.

This place is called Diamond, but there are no diamonds.

Because the word "drill" is a verb, it simply means to drill open rocks, and there is also a stone quarry near Diamond Hill.

Other explanations include that the rocks produced by nearby quarries have shinier crystals.

Or the fact that the peak of Diamond Head is shaped like a diamond.

Or the Po Kong Village Road, Fu Shan Road and Lung Cheung Road in the area form a diamond shape.

Whatever the explanation, the name is a bit far-fetched.

Don’t think Diamond Hill is wealthy just because it is here. In fact, it is also a famous slum area in Hong Kong Island.

The reason why there is a villa area here is not only because of Lion Rock, but also because the prices are relatively cheap.

That is only relatively speaking; it is still out of reach for most people on Hong Kong Island.

In the Wong Tai Sin area, this slum is considered a wealthy area.

The Lee family, a century-old family in Hong Kong, is responsible for developing these properties.

When Xu Ling brought people to the sales office in the villa area, the lobby manager on duty was shocked!
Especially when he saw that there were a dozen burly men in black suits following Xu Ling, the manager was so scared that he thought they were a gang causing trouble, and his back was soaked.

He came over tremblingly and tried to force a smile and said:
"Boss, this is a property developed by the Li family. What can I do for you?"

The implication is to remind Xu Ling and the others not to mess around here.

The Lee family is a century-old family, and the current head of the family, Lee Siu-tin, is one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong Island.

When the Keli family was making their fortune, they were more evil than any other gang.

Today, Li Jia is still the behind-the-scenes expert for many social groups in Hong Kong Island.

"Hey, are you stupid? Of course we came here to buy a house!"

The black fly walked over and made a classic expression of "I ate your shit" again:
"Why, you don't allow us to buy houses here!"

The manager's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, does this look like buying a house?
The manager heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Wu Ying say that she was here to buy a house. Anyway, as long as she wasn't here to mess things up, it was fine.

Then he smiled and said to Xu Ling:

"Welcome, welcome. We have a fully decorated villa here. If you like it, boss, you can pay today and move in tonight."

"Let's go in and take a look at the house layout first," Xu Ling said slowly, taking a puff of his cigar.

Then he took Liu Piaopiao's hand and walked directly into the sales hall.

After entering, you will see a simulated sand table of a villa area. Although it is not as accurate as the sand tables used to sell houses in later generations, the general apartment type, architectural style and surrounding supporting facilities can be clearly seen.

"May I ask your name, boss?"

The manager came up to Xu Ling and asked with an expression like a palace eunuch.

"The surname is Xu!"

"Oh, it's Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is handsome and his girlfriend is so pretty. He is really young and promising!"

For these sales people, the flattery they say is so good that even Heshen would be ashamed of himself if he were still alive.

Unfortunately, he met Xu Ling, who was not interested in listening to his flattery and didn't even look at him.

He just quietly observed the dozens of villas on the sand table and asked:

"You just said there is a finished house, just let me see it"

"Oh, okay, just this one... and these five buildings, they have all been renovated and have been ventilated for three months."

"The formaldehyde inside is almost gone. Once you pay the rent, you can get the key and move in."

After finishing the introduction, he waited for a few seconds, and seeing that Xu Ling did not respond, he continued:
"If Mr. Xu is free, I can take you to see these houses in person right now."

Xu Ling took Liu Piaopiao's hand, looked at her and asked:
"How is it? Which one do you like? Point it out."

"No, that's okay, Brother Ling. Just make your decision. I'm fine with it."

Liu Piaopiao was so scared that she shook her head repeatedly. Xu Ling didn't force her.
Afterwards, Xu Ling weighed the geographical locations and surrounding supporting facilities of several finished villas on the sand table and chose a duplex villa that was closest to the gate of the villa area.

"Here, the terrain and sightline are very good. Let's go to this one and take a look first."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, please wait a moment, I'll go get the key right away."

Five minutes later.

Xu Ling and others came to the villa with the house number 8858.

After getting off the car, Xu Ling first observed the situation around the villa and felt very satisfied.

The villas are about two to three hundred meters apart, and there is a small pavilion at every interval, which can be used for taking a walk and resting.

The greenery on all sides is also well done. There is also a small stream, and pavilions are built at the confluence of the streams.

It has a feeling of a Jiangnan garden, and more importantly, it is quiet enough.

After the manager opened the door of the villa with the key, he stood at the door respectfully and made a gesture to invite the guests in: "Mr. Xu, please come in!"

The entire villa covers an area of ​​more than 500 square meters, with a living area of ​​more than 300 square meters, so the interior space is still very spacious.

Xu Ling pulled Liu Piaopiao to the leather sofa in the middle of the living room and sat down. The floor under their feet was made of black marble.

Various wooden furniture are made of mahogany, and there are many Jiangnan ink paintings hanging on the walls. Of course, these are all fakes.

Since it is just finely decorated and there are no other furniture or daily necessities, the interior of the entire villa appears very empty.

The second and third floors are bedrooms, guest rooms, reception room, dressing room, bathroom, piano room and yoga room respectively.

There is also an open-air balcony on the third floor.

The whole villa is simple yet elegant in structure.

"Piao Piao, are you satisfied?"

After walking from the first floor to the third floor, Xu Ling looked at Liu Piaopiao and asked with a smile.

"Ling, Brother Ling, this house is very, very... very expensive, right?"

Liu Piaopiao stuttered nervously.

Liu Piaopiao had only seen such a luxurious house on TV before.
