Chapter 617 New Home in Silicon Valley (Part 1)

"Do you feel like you've traveled through time?" Feng Yiping asked Huang Jingping, who was holding his arm tightly.

I departed from Capital Airport on the afternoon of July 20th and flew for more than ten hours. When I arrived at San Francisco Airport, it was back to the morning of the 20th.

Huang Jingping did not answer his question. It was her first time to set foot in a foreign land, so she was really nervous.

Just like a child holding the hands of his parents on the first day of kindergarten, he hugged Feng Yiping's arm tightly and wouldn't let go.

Her eyes are really not seeing enough now. She used to only know about the United States indirectly through books, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, movies and TV series. Now that she has finally set foot in the United States, she is eager to experience and feel it in person.

However, this legendary airport in the United States doesn’t seem to be that good either.

Then, she sniffed, "This smell," the smell wasn't bad either.

Now that she was in a foreigner's country, she was surrounded by foreigners who didn't smell good. Even after using perfume, the aftertaste in this hot summer still made her a little uncomfortable.

"I'll live here for a while and keep eating here. I guess you will be the same," Feng Yiping threatened her.

"Ah, I don't want it," she seemed to really believe it.

This kid is so innocent.

"Hello Feng, hello Miss Huang," Comrade Mike waved happily, "Welcome to the United States,"

This time he did not come alone, he also brought his family, a blond woman dressed grandly, "This is my wife, Lisa,"

"Hello and welcome,"

Huang Jingping was a little reserved and greeted them in relatively fluent English, but at least this time, she let go of Feng Yiping's arm.

"Feng, your girlfriend is so beautiful," Mrs. Mike praised.

"Thank you, Lisa, you have such a good figure," Huang Jingping said sincerely.

According to our oriental aesthetic point of view, Lisa is just average-looking at most, but her figure has a good foundation and is really well maintained.

What is particularly outstanding is that his children have a very good granary.

The clothes look like high-end goods at first glance. Necklaces, earrings, brooches, and rings are all worn in perfect condition. However, overall, she cannot withstand the erosion of time. She only wears a necklace and a very Chinese-style tattered dress. Huang Jingping in the floral skirt is really incomparable.

As landowners, Mike and his wife were hosting their boss and girlfriend, so they catered to them. Huang Jingping chatted with them and became warmer, and her English became more and more fluent.

In fact, after studying for several years, her level is actually quite good. Although she is a little confused in terms of grammar, what does it matter?

This time, Mike learned the lesson from last time and drove a large Chevrolet instead of renting a car. There was a child safety seat in the back seat, which Lisa probably often drove.

"Should we stay in a hotel or at home tonight?" Mike asked.

"Didn't I say that everything is in place at home? What hotel should we stay in?" Feng Yiping asked. They were looking forward to staying in their first home in the United States.

"Although we have prepared a lot, there are definitely still a lot of things that need to be purchased. I don't know if you will like the bedding we bought, so Mike and I think you should take advantage of the jet lag in the hotel today and go shopping to replenish it tomorrow. Ichiban, then move in," Lisa said.

This seems to be a sign of merit, "It doesn't matter, I'm sleeping anyway, I'm still at home,"

"Feng, you have caught up with the good times," Mike said. "Now is a rare buyer's market. You can buy such a suitable house at such a good price."

"I've always had good luck," Feng Yiping said, holding Huang Jingping's hand.

Before March last year, due to the popularity of the Internet industry, houses around Silicon Valley were also hotly speculated by the new rich. Then, the bubble burst, and many people, a month ago, were worried that they had too much money and did not know how to spend it. A month later, it was completely declared bankrupt.

The house Feng Yiping bought was, to be precise, an unfinished house.

A company founded by a friend who was twenty-five years old and had just graduated from college was valued at over RMB 300 million before it even went public during that craze. Investors from all walks of life lined up to send money to the company.

Just like the practice in China, money comes too quickly and easily, so of course I don’t want to suffer the hardship of renting a house anymore.

So, he bought a piece of land on the top of a beautiful hill and planned to build a mansion by himself. Unexpectedly, before the house was built, the market suddenly changed. His company, like other .com companies, was When investors withdrew their capital one after another, they went bankrupt and liquidated within two months. How could they still have the money to continue investing in houses?

What's even more tragic is that most of the Silicon Valley upstarts, like him, have lost their pants and have no money to wear, and no one wants to be the taker. Then it's Comrade Feng Yiping's turn from the other side of the ocean, in the name of helping others. Got a bargain.

Anyway, the design plan and construction team are all ready-made. All you need to do is continue to invest money in it.

This house is located on the top of a hill between Redwood City, the county seat of San Mateo County, and Para Alto, where Stanford is located. It is said to have a wide view and excellent scenery. To the west, you can see most of Silicon Valley, and to the east, It's the San Francisco Bay Area, which perfectly meets Feng Yiping's requirements of having a mountain facing the sea.

It’s not that this house is really suitable and a good deal, why would he want to fix it up in Atherton, where the elites of Silicon Valley gather, and chat with the big guys from all walks of life, not looking up and down, and happily being neighbors? future cooperation.

The trees beside the mountain road are all very tall, and the mountain is extremely cool. Along the wide driveway winding up the mountain, Huang Jingping looked at the large houses shaded by the trees on both sides. Although they said nothing, Feng Jingping looked at them. Yiping's hand is holding on tighter and tighter. Isn't it possible that Feng Yiping is also looking forward to it? How can the feeling be the same when looking at pictures and looking at real objects?

"We're here," Mike said to the top of the mountain in front of him. As Daqie climbed the last section of the mountain road, a large house with a fashionable and avant-garde shape, an overall blue-grey color, and a lot of glass on the exterior wall appeared in front of everyone.

"Not bad," Mike said with a smile.

"Very good," Feng Yiping nodded with satisfaction. This can be said to be his dream home. Of course, it would be even better if the whole family moved to Feng Jiachong.

There is a large lawn in front of the house, a tennis court on the left side of the house, and a large swimming pool in the backyard. It covers a total area of ​​13,000 square feet, a construction area of ​​7,120 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a gym. The sauna room, if it were in China, would be a manor.

Don't be fooled by such a big number. Its unit is square feet, and 10 square feet is only close to one square meter. In other words, it covers an area of ​​nearly two acres. There are still houses like this in China.

But there is one thing that money in China cannot buy, and that is privacy.

As for Feng Yiping's villa in the capital, the neighbors could clearly see what he was doing in the yard or on the balcony on the second floor. Here, even if the two of them were "fighting" on the lawn in front of the house, no one would watch. Got it, cool!

According to Feng Yiping, the interior decoration is mainly in beige and white, which is simple, elegant and warm. The furniture is also mainly in these two colors, which is simple and avant-garde.

Sitting in the open hall on the first floor of his new home, Feng Yiping felt really relaxed and happy.

Mike pointed to a huge painting on the wall - Feng Yiping couldn't understand what it meant. From his perspective, it was just a piece of white paper with two large groups of black ink connected together, and the colors were constantly changing. , "This is our gift to you,"

"Thank you very much, I love it,"

"I forgot one thing. Let's go and take you to see the car you ordered."

Yes, why did you forget this?
