Chapter 684 (1/2)
Near noon, grace left the clubhouse with the three brightly decorated graaffs and went to a block on 92nd street, Upper East, near Fifth Avenue.
The car stops in front of a townhouse. After getting off the bus, grace looks at the villa in front of her. She is still a little unwilling.
There are many single family townhouses in the block near the Central Park in the upper east district. Most of the townhouses are only 5 meters wide and look very crowded. However, most people struggle all their lives to have such a villa in this area.
The white European style villa in front of grace has a double floor area of ordinary row. To be exact, it is a 12 by 18 pattern, with a single floor of about 200 square meters, five floors above the ground and one floor underground, with a total of 1200 square meters of internal space and a roof garden.
This is the Canary cage that the little man prepared for the three daughters of Graff.
Recently, grace has more than once quietly visited this fascinating mansion.
Double standard luxury townhouse, tens of meters away from home is the prime location of the Central Park. There are 35 rooms inside. Besides the standard configuration, there are gymnasium, home theater, private wine cellar and an indoor swimming pool on the ground floor.
Grace quietly inquired about the price of a similar villa nearby for $21 million.
You know, it's not seven years ago.
During the stock market crash in 1987, Simon westero, who had just risen, bought a penthouse overlooking the Central Park on East 68th street. It is said that because the owner of the house was in urgent need of capital, he was fired by westero. The transaction price of the real estate worth 15 million US dollars was only 11 million US dollars.
According to some media reports, the compound mansion, which occupies the top three floors of a building close to Central Park, has a total area of about 1200 square meters.
The prices of luxury houses in the world-class rich areas such as the upper east district have one characteristic. When the real estate environment is in downturn, the prices of these areas will not drop too much, while the real estate industry recovers, the prices of the top luxury houses will rise first.
Seven years later, the price of the diamond grade duplex mansion has at least doubled.
Now, if you choose to sell it, you will not lack buyers if you quote us $30 million.
As for the townhouse, which has deviated from the most popular area between East 60th street and East 80th street, although the spotters have their second career because of Simon, grace thinks that they can only dream about it if they want to buy it.
A luxury house worth 20 million US dollars does not mean that you can buy it with 20 million US dollars. If you want to afford such a luxury house, you have to be worth at least 10 times of the house price.
Grace had come here several times before, and even had the idea that she wanted to be a canary.
The three members of the Graaff family get off the car quickly. Grace doesn't feel meaningless any more, but just steps on the steps of the villa in silence, takes out a bunch of keys from her satchel and opens the door.
There are already people waiting in the villa.
There are 11 people in all.
A housekeeper in her forties, six maids, and four bodyguards and drivers who were also women.
These are not the direct lineage of the Westeros, but they are all carefully selected professional background, with a perfect career record, full-time duty, strict style of speech, and have received strict background examination, psychological evaluation and lie detection process before entering the job.
Probably aware of these arrangements, grace can't help asking her doubts in a phone call,
the luxury villa in the upper east side is luxurious enough. She thinks it's a waste to arrange such a team to serve the third mother and daughter.
Then the man said that these people were not working for the graaffs, but for the Westeros.
Grace figured it out later.
In a little man's mind, the positioning of the three of them is similar to that of the villa, or, like the sofa and coffee table in the villa, they are just objects. In contrast, the man may have more eyes on such a service team.
It's still the way of the big man.
Just like Grace herself, she is now the vice president of elite North America branch, but she has done a lot of things for Simon unconsciously.
And there's no salary.
In fact, the service team in this house is also serving the huge industry of the Westeros family. Now it is only the periphery. After testing in the future, they have confirmed their loyalty and reliability. Maybe they can go further and enter the core of the Westeros family, just like ABCD.
As for the three vases.
Think a little more, Grace's envy will be dispelled a lot.
Facing all the people in the living room in professional uniforms, even though they recognize that they are all servants, even though the three members of Graaff's family have never experienced such a battle before, they are somewhat constrained. Laura Graaff looks around quietly, looking for the owner of the villa, but she can't help but come up with a name in her mind.Maybe the man who noticed her at the party didn't forget it.
The leading housekeeper stepped forward and interrupted Laura Graff.
Grace looked at the housekeeper in front of her again. She was about the same age. She was about 1.7 meters in size, with the same black suit, black heels, brown hair, not a pretty face, but a charming figure.
It also seems to fit a little man's preference.
With that in mind, grace introduced to Laura Graff beside her: ”Laura, this is angrey Davis, the housekeeper of this apartment. Ann, this is Laura and her two daughters, Cathy and Victoria
With a smile and a respectful handshake from Laura Graff, angri Davis said hello to the two girls.
Laura Graff is a little confused. Grace introduces herself to the housekeeper. Shouldn't she meet some man?
However, she still obediently shook hands with angri Davis.
After a brief greeting, grace asked angri, ”Ann, is lunch ready?”
The housekeeper nodded: ”of course, grey, and everybody, please follow me.”
Then he told the women behind him to disperse. Angri took grace to the restaurant on the first floor of the villa.
Soon after taking a seat, a maid brought a series of rich dishes to the table. The long table that could hold ten people was almost full.
Grace and other dishes were all served, and angri opened a bottle of red wine and poured it on several people. Then all the people in the restaurant were sent away. To the mother and daughter who were already a little stunned, she said, ”today is the first day, so I asked them to make all the dishes they are good at. You can see what you like and order for yourself in the future.”
