Chapter 145
Returning to Los Angeles, Ling Xiao felt very comfortable all over the body. Compared to the cold and humid New York, Los Angeles is more like a place for people to live.
After making a call to Gan Jing, Ling Xiao rushed to Matador Beach near the northwest coast of Los Angeles, where there is a seaside villa for sale. After searching for half a year, I don’t know if the villa at this time can suit him.
El Matador Beach is 20 miles from Downtown Los Angeles and 5 miles from the small town of Malibu. It is a little deserted and there is only a small town of Pepperdine nearby. The small town was established by moving to Pepperdine University here in the 1960s. Because it is close to Malibu, the town always fails to develop. The entire town has a population of less than one thousand. Of course, this does not include Pepperdine University.
Pepperdine University is a private research university, founded in 1937, and its five schools enroll about 8,300 students every year. Seaver College, Law School, School of Education and Psychology, Business Management School and School of Public Policy are all located on the university’s 830-acre campus.
Except for day students, all students under the age of 21 must live on campus. Pepper Dein’s dormitory is comfortable, convenient, and in good conditions. The school’s single-sex dormitories and apartments have campus network access. Freshmen are usually assigned to an apartment with a bathroom, living room and four double Mortal World bedrooms.
The campus of Pepper Dein University is known as the most beautiful campus in United States, covering an area of ??830 acres. The scenery here is pleasant, not only can you overlook the Pacific Ocean, but also take the surrounding distant mountains in the entire scene, also the flowered hillsides, quiet mountain roads, and the beach is only a 20-minute walk away.
When Ling Xiao arrived in Pepperdine, the real estate agent Ms. Eisen was already waiting there.
After a little bit of greeting, Ms. Eisen took Ling Xiao to the newly sold seaclambed villa.
“This villa has not been built for five years. It was designed by the famous designer Ms. Aria. If the owner had not encountered financial problems, he would not choose to sell the villa. On the ground There are two floors, and also a basement.”
Ms. Eisen took Ling Xiao around the villa and introduced him: “The villa is located on the edge of a mountain cliff, providing the host with A seaside villa for short-term relaxation. The large floor-to-ceiling window from the roof to the ground can perfectly enjoy the beauty of the sea. The blue ocean, white clouds, and beautiful coconut tree reflections all provide you with A perfect holiday. You can enjoy the natural sunshine and mild ocean climate from California with your family and friends.”
Ling Xiao is very satisfied with this villa. The area of ??346 square meters is large enough and has four bedrooms. , Two living rooms, a study room, a kitchen, three bathrooms, all rooms are extremely spacious. In addition, the villa also has a garage, and nearly three acres of mountain land on the cliff are also within the sale range.
The villa faces the sea on the west, and a large area of ??glass separates the inside and outside. The three bedrooms and study rooms facing the sea can clearly see the blue sea.
The floor, some fine woods and tables mainly use white Douglas fir wood. The wooden floor panels are 30 cm wide and 14 meters long.
The pool is made of gray concrete with half-meter-high tempered glass. Water overflows along the edge of the west side.
There is a long cement table on the timber-paved courtyard, and a fabric-covered steel frame is placed on the cement table for shade.
The entire villa is extended as far as possible under the allowable building width, and is built at the back of the base, while a large pool is built at the other end near the sea, sitting on the edge of the pool , The transparent glass seems to connect the swimming pool and the sea.
“The whole villa is priced at 2.98 million USD and can be purchased with a loan, but installments are not accepted. Mr. Ling, what do you think?”
Ling Xiao looked shrewd Ms. Eisen groaned and said, “I heard that the owner of the villa is very anxious with money. Ms. Eisen, so please help me to ask if I can pay for all the house at once, the price of the villa can be How much is it lowered?”
Ms. Eisen was slightly taken aback when Ling Xiao said this, and couldn’t help but ask: “Are you really sure you want to buy?”
“Of course, but the premise is that the house price is within a reasonable range. If it exceeds my expectations, then..” Ling Xiao didn’t finish what he said, but Ms. Eisen had already heard what he meant.
This single business is equally important to Ms. Eisen. If it can be closed smoothly, she herself can also get a lot of money from it. So after Ling Xiao finished speaking, Ms. Eisen immediately contacted the owner of the house.
After a while, Ms. Eisen hung up the phone and walked to Ling Xiao who was sitting by the pool enjoying the sunshine, and said: “Mr. Ling, if you can pay within today, the host I am willing to lower the price to 2.68 million USD. This is the final offer.”
The price is less than 3100,000 USD, which is 10% of the price. Although Ling Xiao is not very satisfied, it is estimated that this is the homeowner’s The lowest offer accepted, this may be related to his current predicament.
No more bargaining, Ling Xiao nodded and said: “Well, call someone over, let’s sign a contract.”
The host is a middle- 40-year-old. The aged man, named Oliver, drove a 10 USD Mercedes-Benz, and he could see a trace of anxiety on his face.
“Hello, Mr. Ling.” Oliver faced Ling Xiao nodded and looked towards Ms. Eisen, two lawyers and a notary public.
After the two lawyers reviewed the contract in detail and negotiated to modify it to no loopholes, Ling Xiao and Oliver signed their names on the contract under the witness of a notary.
2.68 million USD, this is basically most of Ling Xiao’s recent income from the New York Stark industry. His previous savings were also nearly 5 million USD, and now most of it has become this villa.
“Farewell, Mr. Ling, this villa belongs to you.” After getting the check, Oliver was considered a big sighed in relief. He shook the head to Ling Xiao and said, “If not When I run into trouble, I am reluctant to sell this villa.”
“You are always welcome here.” Ling Xiao said that although he was polite, he was already a master. Up.
Oliver shook the head bitterly, took a deep look at the villa, drove his own Mercedes and left the beach villa.
Because of Ling Xiao’s refreshment, all the furniture and decorations of the villa have been left, but Ling Xiao not at all intends to use these things here. Since it is his new home, it is natural to replace them all Once again, as for what to replace, Gan Jing will make the decision.
In addition, Ling Xiao has to do some sketching of the array, and it is necessary to re-repair, but this is not in a hurry.
Ling Xiao threw away all the sheets and quilts in the room, then went to a nearby town, bought a new set, and returned to the villa.
After finishing all this, it was already dark, Ling Xiao drove back to Los Angeles.
Just walked into the pharmacy, Chang Xi, who was staying in the pharmacy during the winter vacation to help out, threw himself on Ling Xiao’s body. He was happily tired and asked: “Ling Xiao, I heard you bought one A villa, really, when will you take us to take a look?”
“Of course it is true.” Ling Xiao reached out and rubbed her soft hair, said with a smile: “Want to go If you do, it will be fine tomorrow.”
“Oh yeah! Great!” Chang Xi almost jumped up, Ling Xiao shook the head a little condensed, walked to Gan Jing’s side, and whispered: “You don’t blame me for buying a villa so hastily.”
“What are you talking about, it’s rare to come across a villa that suits your liking. Just buy it.” Gan Jing will always be like that. She is gentle and considerate, she can always easily guess what Ling Xiao is thinking. She understands that if she is not particularly satisfied with the villa, Ling Xiao, who has been searching for half a year, will definitely not buy the villa so soon.
