Chapter 320: Loft apartment
When Li Xuan woke up, the plane was almost over New York. ▲∴, they took off from Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Under normal circumstances, they should arrive in New York at 11:00 noon the next day, Hong Kong time.
But there is a 12-hour time difference between New York and Hong Kong, which means that the time they landed in New York is actually eleven o'clock in the evening. After Li Xuan fell asleep and woke up naturally, it was already pitch black outside the plane window, and night had entered the United States.
After hovering over New York for more than ten minutes, the plane landed safely at Kennedy International Airport under the command of the control tower. JFK International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world, and flights taking off and landing are very dense, which also caused Li Xuan's plane to wait in the air for a while.
In fact, there are also free private airports around New York, but this luxury toy bought by Li Xuan is too demanding. The runways of those small private airports simply cannot withstand the take-off and landing of a wide-body aircraft like a Boeing 747.
Most of the people who usually land at these private airports are small propeller planes that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, or small business jets that cost several million dollars. In this day and age, it is absolutely rare for someone like Li Xuan to spend $60 million to buy a big guy without blinking an eye.
Before the plane landed, the staff of the New York office of the Oriental Commercial Company were already waiting at the airport for their boss. The advantage of taking a private jet is that no matter how long the journey is, there will be no fatigue, just like at home, do whatever you want!
You wouldn't even feel like you were in a plane if it weren't for the occasional turbulence that made the plane a little bumpy. Because the cabin of the Boeing 747 is spacious enough. After the modification, it is impossible to imagine that this is in the cabin of the aircraft.
And if it is a commercial flight, a plane fortress can carry hundreds of people. Even first class is only a small space of a few square meters. If you are an economy class passenger, you can only stay in your seat for 20 consecutive hours. I can't even straighten my legs! After such a trip, it is naturally exhausting.
A group of people took the car prepared in advance by Dongfang Commercial and ran to New York City. Broadly speaking, New York City consists of five boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island. And we often say that New York, the financial capital, fashion capital, and literary capital, actually refers to Manhattan.
Most of everyone's knowledge of New York is actually concentrated in Manhattan, a narrow island on the Hudson River. Such as Fifth Avenue, Broadway, Wall Street, Columbia University, New York University, World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Metropolitan Museum, Chinatown, etc. Manhattan is the smallest district in New York, but it is the essence of the whole New York.
It takes about half an hour to drive from JFK to Manhattan. Manhattan is divided into Uptown, Midtown and Lower Town from north to south according to the flow of the Hudson River. Most of the streets in Manhattan are also very memorable, and most of the north-south streets are called avenues. Numbered with numbers. Streets running east and west are called streets, and they are also numbered.
Li Xuan had already rented the penthouse of a high-end apartment in Manhattan's Upper East Side early on. Anyone who has watched "The City" must know that the penthouse is usually the largest apartment in Manhattan with the best view.
New York's Central Park, with a north-south layout, divides Upper Manhattan into east and west. Upper Manhattan is the most famous luxury residential area in the United States, and its prices can rival that of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles on the west coast. But most of the mansions in Beverly Hills are small independent estates with large gardens, outdoor swimming pools, and even tennis courts, while the houses in Upper Manhattan are all condominiums.
You must know that in the United States, which is a vast area and sparsely populated, small western-style buildings with gardens in the suburbs are the standard for the middle class, only the poor who cannot afford a house. Live in high-rise apartments in the city center. But Manhattan is an exception, because land here is so expensive that even a unit in an apartment is far more expensive than a single-family house in most parts of the United States.
Among them, the houses on the Upper East Side are more expensive than those on the Upper West Side. Because the residents of the Upper East Side are mostly wealthy New Yorkers, and many of the residents of the Upper West Side are high-level intellectuals. There are even a few very special apartments on the Upper West Side filled with professors from Columbia and NYU.
So their own condo committee has a very special rule. If the owner of a house in the apartment wants to sell the house, he can only choose to sell it to other professors at Columbia University or NYU. Otherwise, other occupants in the apartment would resist the new occupants moving in.
In the Upper East Side, known as a luxury weather vane and a gathering place for the rich, from East 61st Street to East 68th Street. The streets are quiet and elegant, with green trees on the road, and it is most popular with the upper class in New York. Among the residents here, there are many figures at the top of the food chain, such as the media giant Murdoch and the head of the Rockefeller family, David Rockefeller.
The apartment that Li Xuan bought not long ago happened to be located on East 62nd Street, which could echo Central Park across Fifth Avenue. This is a 12-storey cream-yellow apartment, with two units per ladder, but only one attic on the top floor. Pushing open the glazed door on the ground floor of the apartment, you can see the front desk of the apartment, where there are waiters and guards to provide 24-hour service.
After verifying his identity with the front desk, Li Xuan took his wife and sister to the top floor by elevator. Opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the wooden floor, then the spacious living room with a modern minimalist and stylish style.
"This house is well designed!" Li Ying sincerely praised, UU reading www. uukanshu.com She is interested in art and design and will be studying art at New York University.
"Go and choose your own room!" Li Xuan said to his sister with a smile.
He looked around again. Although he had seen the design and decoration of the house in the faxed pictures before, when he actually walked into the house, he was more satisfied than what he saw in the photos.
The area of the house is very large, about 400 to 500 square meters. In addition to a large living room, there is a study room, an open kitchen, a dining room, and four guest rooms including the luxurious master bedroom.
Li Xuan didn't care which room his sister chose, but took Zhong Chuhong's hand and went to the luxurious bedroom of the two. In addition to a spacious bed, the very warmly designed bedroom also has a separate washroom and a spacious fitting room. A fitting room with enough space should be able to fit all kinds of clothes of the hostess.
"Are you still satisfied?" Li Xuan glanced at Zhong Chuhong and asked, this will be the comfort zone for the two of them for a while.
Zhong Chuhong nodded in surprise. (To be continued..)
