"Be careful, we will go down until the rotor stops completely, it will be strong."

With the Airbus EC series ducted tail rotor silent helicopters parked in Greenwich, Connecticut, when Gu Ao bought the newly-buyed manor apron last year.

Gu Ao changed his usual decisive behavior and became very gentle and slow, so that Xiao Sui would not be anxious

According to the granularity of time for high-end people like Gu Ao, it is absolutely impossible for the next helicopter to wait until the rotor is completely stopped, which is a waste of time.

Generally, bodyguards are asked to replace them with special windshield equipment and wait there in advance. As long as the wind is so small that it will not blow people away, they will come up to protect them and help Gu Ao get off the helicopter.

Use dozens of times the bodyguards to exchange for Gu Ao's "time lapse slow" several times the time.

From this contrast, we can see how compassionate Gu Ao is now and considerate.

Xiao Sui wrapped herself in a big windbreaker and stepped down from the helicopter carefully under Gu Ao's personal support.

Of course, Gu Ao's helping is mainly symbolic, because he is not professional. On the other side of Xiao Sui, there are naturally professional female health care doctors responsible for helping him.

As soon as the fresh air outside the cabin came in, Xiao Sui felt a slight trembling, and fortunately she got used to it quickly.

"This place is so cold? It doesn't feel very comfortable and livable. Why are there so many rich people coming here?" Xiao Sui couldn't understand for a while and muttered as she walked.

It was her first time here. When she saw bare birch forests and maple trees, she saw no one deliberately planted evergreen trees such as cedar, which made people feel a little uncomfortable and could not connect with the super rich community in my impression.

Xiao Sui is also a person who has followed Gu Ao to travel all over the United States. The Gu family has manors and manors in the Bay Area of ​​San Francisco and Beverly Hills in Hollywood. Those places have a southern style with very pleasing vegetation.

Especially the Beverly Hills Manor bathed in the sunshine of Southern California, large areas are full of palms and bananas that are green all year round. Even if Gu Ao was the island owner in Seattle before, he was at least deliberately planted evergreen species all over the island.

So Xiao Sui's impression is that he has become accustomed to using greenery to measure whether a luxury community is luxurious enough. He has no idea about the scenery here in Greenwich for a while.

Gu Ao gently explained: "This place is mainly lived in by people from fund companies. They come to have fun in time and do not pay much attention to greening. This is also the habit of the rich New York people who are licking blood from the knife. You will understand it slowly.

They are all the wolves of Wall Street. They get rich and powerful today. If they fail to invest in a bet tomorrow, they may be the case. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. If you like evergreen trees, we will transplant them slowly in the future.

I've just bought it for three months, and I'm afraid that if I build a big business and change the tree, there will be too many pesticide and fertilizer residues, which will be bad for people. In the future, I'll do it slowly when the child is born."

Xiao Sui thought to himself: "The neighbors nearby are all hedge fund bosses? Are there no old money families with Zhong Mingding Dingshi?"

Gu Ao replied nonsense: "Something is true. The descendants of the Rockefeller family have very decent manors. These wealthy families that have been entrenched for more than three generations at the top of the Manhattan food chain. If you have the chance to go and see them, even in places like Greenwich, they are evergreen trees and are not afraid of spending manpower to serve them.

However, the original site of the manor I bought was the boss of several stock funds. I took it away when the stock market crash broke down last year, so this greening is obviously a nouveau riche."

When Xiao Sui heard this, she sighed. Her literary youth had a slight attack and she felt a little cold.

A person like my husband who has been in business for seven or eight years must be considered a nouveau riche in the eyes of those three or four generations of Rockefeller-level families.

The group lived in the manor. Xiao Sui was heavy and had no intention of walking around, so she just sent her to the upper floor to rest.

Mina followed Gu Ao, and walked around inside and out, recognizing the scenery.

The garden covers a huge area, with a total area of ​​about ten acres, which is nearly two hundred meters long and wide.

It was originally a natural island next to Greenwich Beach. The island was originally divided into four parts, and the owners of the four hedge funds each occupy a corner.

However, because this island is only one or two hundred meters away from the shore, it has been filled with solid embankments and built roads in the early years, and it is connected to the mainland, so it is not obvious that it is an island.

There are four yacht berths on both sides of the embankment, which shows that each of the residents on the island had two yachts, one large and one small. Now that it has become Gu Ao's property, the berths are a bit wasteful.

The southeast bank is by the sea and has a private white sand beach of two hundred meters long. It was originally shared by the four fund owners in segments, but now it is naturally the exclusive one of Gu Ao's family.

However, the sea is not wide, because it faces the Long Island Strait rather than the direct Atlantic Ocean. 10 kilometers south, you can see the Long Island District of New York City on the other side.

In Greenwich, Connecticut, such a manor is very popular. Although the unit area of ​​the property here is slightly lower than that of Long Island, New York, on the other side, the total price is definitely higher here.

Because Long Island is at most an ordinary two-story villa, due to the high property tax and complex land rights, it is impossible for you to get several acres of continuous land to give you a luxurious garden.

(Except for the poorest communities on the easternmost part of Long Island, because Long Island is very long and has 200 kilometers east-west. That is, it takes 200 kilometers to drive from a relatively poor community in the East District to Manhattan, which is farther from Qiantang to Hujiang, but geographically speaking, it is also considered New York City.

New York is too big, so there are many places where New York is poorer, which are much poorer than New Jersey’s Riverside District and Greenwich, Connecticut, and Stanford.)

The manor of Gu Ao is large enough, so the beach is not comfortable enough and the weather is too cold. The main swimming pool is strictly followed by the standard competition swimming pool, which is 50 meters by 20 meters, covering an area of ​​1,000 square meters.

Next to it are the bottom of the granite pool and red cirque, and the hydrophilic leisure platform above is paved with oak with natural tung oil. Oak is a good material for waterproof shipbuilding and is very corrosion-resistant. After brushing with the tung oil of ancient shipbuilding, it is not easy to breed fungi in humid environments. Use all natural oak and natural tung oil to lay the entire swimming pool around it, and there is no one else in this luxury.

Anyway, the entire manor has ten acres, which is equivalent to 40,000 square meters. What is the point of taking out 1,000 square meters to make a main swimming pool?

There are also several small swimming pools that are splashing in water, made into various artistic shapes, and newly built and added some water park slide facilities. Not to mention its unparalleled exquisiteness, the scale alone is very grand, and it does not look like it is used by private homes.

At the same time, in order to cope with the cold winters of New York and Connecticut, all open-air swimming pools have been added with a warm water loop system.

It's really too cold to have a leisure and water project, as well as an indoor sunroom pool, and the effect of the snowy day is similar to the blood-red swimming pool of the artificial intelligence demon in "Detroit Turns into a Man".

...

After having fun inside and outside the new home, at night, the family of three had dinner peacefully, and then went to the sunroom on the top floor to soothe aquatic spa.

It was dark and there was no sunshine, so I could only see the night view. However, the air in Greenwich is still very fresh and you can clearly see the stars in the night sky.

The original owner of the manor bought by Gu Ao even built the roof sunroom like an observatory, with a glass sphere roof that can be opened and closed, and an astronomical telescope was set up.

"In the books we read, everyone says that New York is a prosperous Vanity Fair, but it is also very polluted, which is caused by excessive density of automobiles and industries. Now, it is just a little bit foggy in the core urban area of ​​Manhattan. It's so clear that it's just a little bit foggy in the suburbs of the seaside."

Xiao Sui sipped the tea from Antai and looked up at the stars, once again doubting the knowledge she had learned when she was studying. In 1988, she had just been put into the social and geography textbooks in junior high school.

However, Xiao Sui went to university ten years ago. In the early 1980s, middle schools did not teach Western society and geography at all, so Xiao Sui got literacy popularization in public basic classes when she was in Fudan University. However, she was already close to Gu Ao at that time and got the opportunity to come to the United States to experience the various social situations in person, so the class was not important.

This is the world. Rich people need to learn less than the poor. Because their lives are what the poor need to learn.

If society continues to develop, there will even be some people who can’t do anything. As long as you show off your wealth, you can be richer. Who makes them relatively scarce? (Of course, poor people can also learn more about doing housework and daily labor in their lives. This is very fair. They cannot learn these in the lives of rich people)

"Don't sigh at the air here. There are also problems with photochemical smoke. It started in the 1950s and was particularly serious in the 1960s. But now it is better. In the future, the manufacturing industry in the United States will further reduce, and cars will be saturated long ago, and there will only be fewer and fewer. Now the most polluted in this area is Japan, and Japan will become cleaner in another twenty years." Computer terminal::/

Gu Ao's few words blocked these daily feelings.

"Is the tax here much lower than New York, so there are so many big houses?" Since it was just a chat and Gu Ao was unwilling to talk about pollution more, Xiao Sui took the opportunity to change the topic.

Mina knows this question quite well. Although she has just come here, her profession has given her a relatively familiarity with foreign laws: "Connorth is one of the few states in the United States with relatively low property taxes. Here, the houses are divided into housing taxes and land taxes, and only the land taxes must be paid, and the houses are held casually.

Some states, such as New York and DC, are packaged, and those are more pitiful, so you can see that on the other side of Long Island, and the neighbors of DC, their husbands all like wooden two-story villas, which are half cheaper than steel houses when estimating taxes.

In the area of ​​Connecticut, you can get as much land as your neighbor’s land is worth and taxes per unit area. You can collect so much on this land, and you can build so many luxury houses. Therefore, top architect firms also like the projects here and can fulfill their dreams.
