1116. A Friendship (5/5)
Li Du's trip to New York was fruitless, and Calestan wanted to play tricks, but the latter, unlike the average opponent Li Du had seen, did not always be hostile to him.
After he talked to President Cole, as soon as he stepped out of the Winston Group, Calestan drove up, also a Rolls-Royce.
Li Du looked at him coldly, wanting to see what tricks he played.
As a result, Calestan sent him a smile, a smile that seemed sincere: "Lee, it's getting late, why don't you come to my house as a guest?" Yesterday was my wedding anniversary with my wife, and we have a bit of a unique perspective on the relationship between husband and wife. ”
Americans attach great importance to marriage anniversaries, and they give names to each year's wedding anniversaries, such as paper weddings in one year, cloth weddings in two years, tin weddings in ten years, and golden weddings in fifty years.
Porcelain wedding is synonymous with the twentieth anniversary of marriage, and it may seem to Chinese that the wedding anniversary is named after porcelain, as if it were fragile, but this is not the case in American culture.
The porcelain in the American porcelain wedding is not the concept that we Chinese have always thought of as porcelain as soon as it falls, in the West, especially in the past when the name of the marriage anniversary date was given, porcelain is a very precious thing, that is, it will be picked up and repaired again if it is broken.
Therefore, porcelain marriage, like golden wedding and silver wedding, is a marriage state that has reached a certain year.
Calestan's words surprised Li Du, he didn't expect him to have such a smooth marriage, which lasted for twenty years, which is remarkable.
But considering that Calestan's children are in their twenties, and they have only been married to porcelain marriages, this is quite abnormal.
If the other party invites Li Du for other reasons, Li Du will refuse, and he has no good impression of Kalestan.
But he can't refuse this reason, because Li Du is about to get engaged to his fiancée, and he envies those couples who hold hands for a lifetime, and he, like other hairy boys who are about to enter married life, wants to learn from these people.
Li Du was silent for a moment and took Brother Wolf into the car.
Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, the other party showed friendship, and he had to accept it temporarily, in the business field of the United States, this is the way to behave in the world.
In the car, Calestan chatted with him like an old friend.
He is a master of topics, and it is easy to find a topic that can be talked about with Li Du, and Calestan does not mention jewelry, diamonds, or disputes between the two, but first congratulates Li Du on his upcoming engagement, and then recalls the bits and pieces of his and his wife's youth.
It has to be said that this success attracted Li Du, who was first more curious about life in the United States twenty years ago, and then Carlistan interspersed with interesting stories about his and his wife's love at the beginning, which made him unable to resent.
By the time he got out of the car, Li Du could already laugh with Calestan.
If it weren't for the hundreds of millions of competing interests, he might even be friends with Calestan right now.
This kind of opponent makes Li Du a little overwhelmed, and he is good at dealing with those mad dog opponents who like to fight hard, such as Bol and York partners, Dog Ears Rick, and the Führer and others.
The opponents he has been in contact with in the past like to stare at him like a mad dog, Li Du can see the moves, and fight back with stronger means.
Kalestan was regarded as an opponent by him, but the opponent's spring breeze made a move that made him strong and his balance insufficient.
But he also knew that it was unwise for him to compare Calestan with those people, Calestan was not worth less than he was now, and he was also a billionaire with billions or even billions.
At their level, there are only interests, no enemies, and no fighting.
Calestan suppressed Li Du because Li Du was a newcomer to Cole's faction, and when Li Du developed into a giant and had the possibility of being on a three-legged rivalry with him and Cole, he changed his attitude.
He now regards Li Du as a super potential stock, a powerful bull stock, there is no doubt that this kind of person is not suitable to be an opponent, but should be a friend.
Calestan houses on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, which is a well-known affluent neighborhood in the United States.
To Li Du's surprise, he did not live in a villa, but an apartment building, and Li Du was still strange when he said on Calestan Road, this person's residence is a bit too simple, right?
But when he got downstairs, he didn't think so, and Calestan was called 432 ParkAve, a high-rise building with a height of 426 meters.
This building Li Du knows that it is the second tallest building in New York and the third tallest building in the United States after the new World Trade Center, but unlike the top two tallest buildings, it is not a commercial office building, it is a residential building.
The tallest residential building in the world!
Calestan lives on the 92nd floor, this building from the bottom to the top, the degree of luxury is increased in turn, the ground floor is two ladders and four households, and then there is a ladder and two households, and when it reaches the 50th floor or so, it continues to be all one floor and one household!
The elevator enters Calestan's home directly from the underground garage, and when the elevator door is opened, there is a living room-like place with 20 square meters, which is the front hall, not yet 'home'.
After passing through two more doors, he actually entered Kalestan's house.
In the elevator, Li Du chatted with Calestan about the house, which has an area of 8,255 square feet, or 767 square meters, and a total of eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and six living rooms......
As for the price, Calestan spit out one lightly: "I don't know, it should be about 80 million, I don't pay attention to housing prices, I don't play real estate." ”
How much is an 80 million dollar mansion converted into RMB? Five hundred million!
It's no wonder that people won't live in the villa in Phoenix, how much is the villa there? It's only two or three million.
Calestan's wife was already waiting in the living room, a gentle-smiling woman, who looked older than Calestan, with long flowing hair and a nonchalance temperament.
After his wife greeted Li Du in a friendly manner, she went to the kitchen, and Calestan packed up some things and let Li Du wander around by himself.
With only two people and a nanny in the huge room, Li Du stood in the living room and looked out, and the first thing he overlooked was the famous Central Park in New York.
432 ParkAve is located in the southeast corner of Central Park, a tourist attraction for many Americans, and a backyard for people like Calestan .
The glass on the wall of the living room must be ten square meters, and the wall of the house is four meters high, and there are large floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, which can enjoy a 360-degree view of New York.
The Big Apple, at this moment, is at the feet of Li Du, he overlooks this city known as the heart of the world like an emperor, and inevitably, a Lingyun pride appears in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Li Du decided to buy a house, he now has money, and he also wants to buy such a big house.
It's not about how it looks or how it looks, but living in such a place is of great help to people's vision and mind, and it is also helpful to men's careers.
