"Yes, isn't this just a property?" Hong Yi retorted.
"I find myself at a loss for words." The whole community is in one location, and if one really has to say it's a single property, it seems indeed there's no problem with that.
"Mr. Zhang, let
give you a brief introduction. This community was developed by Tenghui Group a little over three years ago when you were admitted to Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. Your father had been considering your settlent in Jiangnan City for a very long ti."
"Zhang nglong really did have foresight!" Zhang nglong muttered to himself.
"The community consists of 8 buildings in total. The one in the center has 29 floors, and the seven buildings around it each have 17 floors. They are all built with a layout of two elevators to four apartnts, ranging from 95 to 121 square ters each. Based on the property prices of this location, each square ter should be within 90,000 to 110,000."
"My god, 7 tis 17 plus 29, then tis 4..." Zhang nglong quickly calculated in his head how much the entire community's houses could be worth, but his ntal arithtic wasn't up to the task anymore. Now, all he could think about was how much money this was? How many lifetis of ordinary work would it take to earn that?
"The building in the center has the best lighting and the most comprehensive facilities, specially prepared for you." Hong Yi led Zhang nglong into the elevator and pressed the button for the 25th floor.
"Mr. Zhang, the 25th to the 29th floors of this building are interconnected, mainly for your living and personal use. The topmost floor has a small open-air garden and swimming pool. Thanks to the advanced smart ho technology, only you can enter the house before you set the permissions."
"How do I open it?" Zhang nglong was already sowhat eager to go in and have a look.
"Your fingerprint will do."
"Beep! Verification successful, respected Mr. Zhang nglong, welco ho!"
Click!
The door slowly swung open, and seeing the spacious foyer, Zhang nglong couldn't help but gape.
Passing through the foyer, there was a living room exceeding two hundred square ters, and within this apartnt, there was also an internal elevator for him to freely travel between the 25th floor and the penthouse.
"Mr. Zhang, the actual area of each of these five floors is over 500 square ters. Of course, if you need it, I can also arrange for soone to interconnect the floors below for you," Hong Yi said respectfully.
"No... no need, it's already big enough. Even if I live on just one floor by myself, it seems a bit too extravagant!" Zhang nglong asked, "What about the other seven buildings and the floors below?"
"Oh, the floors below mainly include an esports room, gym, server room, guest rooms, library, etc.
This building is mainly for when you or your friends co to hang out," Hong Yi explained, "As for the surrounding 17 buildings, if you decide to live here, your driver, pilot, chef, security, housekeeping staff, and other service personnel will live nearby, ready to attend to your needs at any mont."
"Compared to this, Tomson First Grade is nothing!"
In Zhang nglong's mory, Mingzhu City's Tomson First Grade had once been considered the epito of luxury hos, but compared to his place, it fell more than just a notch short.
After all, Tomson First Grade, no matter how luxurious, serves all its residents, while these eight buildings are all serving just him; can that even be considered the sa level?
Zhang nglong walked into the lobby, at the center of which was a set of sofas he didn't dare ask the price of, and on the wall was a huge painting, very similar in style to "Starry Night."
"This couldn't be a van Gogh painting, could it?" Zhang nglong asked offhandedly.
"Yes, but Mr. Van Gogh's paintings only beca famous after his death. This painting was a birthday gift to your father from the King of France 12 years ago, free of charge."
"This Zhang family must have so serious clout!" Zhang nglong laughed, "Don't tell
my ancestors bought a huge chunk of French land or sothing?"
"That's not the case," Hong Yi said. "Historical events have a way of happening, you know. There was a ti when Huaxia was not very peaceful. Actually, if at that ti, the Zhang Family had still been in Huaxia, none of this would've happened. But during that period, your ancestors were all at that place."
"The Super God Academy again?" Zhang nglong suddenly beca full of interest in that place. What kind of place was it that beckoned his parents and ancestors so compellingly?
"But your family mbers have quite the temper, and they're not the type to let offenses go unavenged. The first thing your grandfather did when he ca back was to cut off those countries' energy supply. After all, a major portion of their petrochemical resources depended on imports from Africa.
And even though those oil fields and wells were ostensibly owned by countries like Saudi Arabia, in reality, the rights belonged to your family."
"Damn, ruthless!" Zhang nglong hadn't expected his family to be not just wealthy and landowners, but also to have mines—and oil mines at that!
"Then what?"
"What could they do? Their own oil fields couldn't even produce one-tenth of the necessary supply. Apart from so stubborn elents, they had no choice but to forthrightly return the seized treasures and sign a heap of unequal treaties. On the surface, they have a very friendly relationship with the Zhang Family, but in reality, they are terrified of you!"
Hong Yi continued adding, "In Asia, it's mainly our Hong Family handling things. There are corresponding families on the other continents as well, and they have been following the Zhang family for a very long ti. Any one of them could easily overturn a country with just one sentence!"
"I... I think I'm getting high blood pressure!" Zhang nglong quickly patted his chest. According to Hong Yi, wasn't his family practically the ruler of the Earth?
"Why does this piano look so old?" Like many luxury hos, there was a piano in the corner of the hall, but this one was quite decayed in many areas. "This isn't just for show, is it?"
"Mr. Zhang, this piano is called a Broadwood, which was used by Mr. Beethoven towards the end of his life. After the death of Mr. Beethoven, it ca into the hands of Master Liszt and eventually ended up in the Hungarian National Museum."
"Later, it was bought by your grandfather, originally intended for Mr. Zhang Xiaoyun to practice piano, but since he didn't like music, it was left unused. After this place was built, it was moved here."
"A piano that Beethoven and Liszt had played…" Zhang nglong wisely refrained from asking about the price, guessing it was yet another astronomical figure with his gut feeling.
"What about this crystal statue?" Zhang nglong had also noticed a 1:1 scale sculpture beside the piano. "Is this Beethoven or Liszt?"
"This... This is one of your ancestors, nad Zhang Lanfeng. He was fond of the piano and even ntored quite a few later famous musicians while studying abroad in Europe. However, he was very low-key; aside from the individuals involved, no one else knew about these events. This statue was created after he won first prize in a royal music competition."
"By the way, this isn't crystal; this statue was carved out of a diamond!"
"Diamond? A diamond this big?" Zhang nglong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Oh, aside from the oil fields, your family has several diamond mines in Africa. This was made from a huge raw diamond carved out back in the day!"
"I can't handle this!" Zhang nglong slumped directly onto the sofa, overwheld by his own family's wealth.
"Mr. Zhang, the service staff we've arranged for you have been carefully selected, and they will all be here tomorrow. Please let
know if you need anything done. You must be exhausted from the journey today; you should rest early. My residence is in building number 1 nearby."
"Alright, you've worked hard today too. Go get so rest." Zhang nglong nodded. Right now, he wanted to be alone to process the shocks he had received throughout the day.
