Chapter 277 We Are One Family Anyway

"Haha", when I hear my sweetheart tease me that I am the winner in life,

Annie put her face on Li Changheng's shoulder in embarrassment, and muttered weakly.

"It's a pity that in a few days the people from the England Olympic team will come over.

When the time comes, I will have to look like a princess again. "

"You were originally a princess, and now that you can come to New York, Charles and Andrew must be very envious, right?"

"But in order to come to accompany you, I also served as a director of eleven charities, and each of them has to donate at least 10,000 to 20,000 pounds every year.

This is all out of my pocket money." Speaking of this, Annie shook Li Changheng's neck in great pain.

"My dear, Charles, Andrew, and my relatives, the annual tasks are only half, or even a third of mine, which is too unfair.

Moreover, in addition to the Olympic events of archery, equestrian and canoe, people from other event groups heard that I would like to fully sponsor the training costs.

I have been approached by people in charge of cycling, rowing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing.

These vampires just want to empty my money. "

Li Changheng rolled his eyes, your money is all my uncle's, okay?

However, being hugged by Annie, acting like a spoiled child, and complaining, Li Changheng couldn't help it.

If it involves a matter of principle, he can directly refuse, but it is not a matter of just a little money.

And that one million pounds Annie not only has to hire security guards, maids and other employees who serve her.

Now they have to sponsor the England Olympic project team, as well as donations from charities.

In the end, the money left in my hands is indeed not much.

It's like having 200,000 pounds a year for one's own use, and Annie will definitely be satisfied.

But there is only 200,000 of the 1 million left for my own use, which is a big gap in my heart.

No wonder it doesn't hurt.

Li Changheng hurriedly comforted, "Okay, okay, you list the expenses of the Olympic project team separately, and I will pay for it.

However, we can't do too many projects at the same time, and cycling, rowing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing are England's strengths.

Once the grades are not good, someone will definitely put the blame on us all.

So, our target is England's underdogs.

As long as you get a medal, even a bronze medal is credit.

And if the grades are not good, but the grades have indeed improved, it is meritorious, understand? "

Annie looked up at Li Changheng with bright eyes, "Honey, no wonder father warned Charles and Andrew.

Tell them not to play tricks in front of you, but to get along with you with sincerity and honesty.

Now it seems that what my father said is really true, you are much smarter than Charles and Andrew. "

Li Changheng clamped Annie's slender waist angrily, stretched out his hand and slapped the round place behind her, "Is it really nice of you to betray your father like this?"

"Hey," Annie smiled and kissed Li Changheng on the face, "We are all one family anyway."

These words instantly warmed Li Changheng's heart.

The side of her head was on Annie's lips, and the two quickly got closer and entangled.

Fortunately, the two still knew that there were bodyguards around, but when they parted a few minutes later, Annie was already leaning on him in a daze.

Li Changheng simply squatted down, carrying the happy Annie on his back and continued walking.

After walking on the beach for more than an hour, Annie returned to the manor hotel after feeling a little cold.

At 9 o'clock the next morning, Annie, who was dressed neatly, took Li Changheng's arm and got into the Cadillac.

Under the escort of two luxury cars of the same model, I came to Westhampton, Long Island to see a 12-acre, or 72.9 acres, nearly 50,000 square meters.

A manor villa as big as seven standard football fields.

The entire Long Island, New York, from west to east is a separate island of Manhattan, then Brooklyn, and Queens.

After passing the densely populated areas, Long Beach on the east side of Queens to Westampton Beach are basically affluent income areas composed of single-family villas.

And after Westampton Beach is a large area of ​​beach villas.

After passing through Southampton, the population drops sharply, and a large area of ​​forest appears. Until the Montauk Lighthouse on the easternmost side of Long Island, there is the sea.

The entire Long Island is divided into three sections, broadly including Brooklyn and Queens.

But many people like to refer to Long Island as the area starting from Long Beach Beach and surrounded by the sea on three sides.

If you count the price of land per unit area, West, Southampton and Kensington Garden Street in London are definitely not comparable.

But the areas with the highest housing prices in London are incomparable with Long Island in that as long as you have money, you can buy a big enough place.

Build what you want to build a luxury house with an inner lake and a beach when you go out.

Moreover, this palace-like manor villa was designed to solve the problem of poor lighting in old castles and palaces.

The only thing that makes Anne dissatisfied is that the designer or the former owner is too luxurious and high-profile.

It is in line with the flamboyant personality of the Americans, but it is incompatible with the conservative and low-key style of the British aristocrats.

In Li Changheng's opinion, the furnishings and local designs in many places are a bit too rich.

Not to mention Anne and Meryl Butler.

When the two were looking at the washroom and cloakroom, they were suddenly frowned by the glittering tiles, faucets and other items.

However, this manor dares to ask for a price of 19 million U.S. dollars, and there are indeed many places that the Long Island manor cannot match.

The design of the garden is in line with the British aesthetics in Annie's eyes.

Backing onto the Long Island Sound, rather than the Atlantic Ocean, makes the estate much less vulnerable to storms.

Moreover, the main building of the manor was built on a cliff of about ten meters.

Greatly reduces the probability of being sniped.

And more than 20 meters away from the front door of the main building, there is a plank road leading to the beach under the cliff, and there is also a dock that can dock with a draft of 2.4 meters.

If the wharf is built 50 meters forward, the water depth can reach 4 meters, which is enough to dock four or five thousand tons of yachts.

In addition to the special stables and the racecourse with a runway, the area is more than 4,000 square meters.

Tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and even a par-6 miniature golf course.

And since there is a golf course, there must be a large area of ​​woods and four inner lakes, large and small, in the manor.

Although there are only two floors for the two servants and bodyguards, each room is a 40-square-meter double room and a suite with a living room.

It is much better than in English castles, where the servants have to stay in the basement of the castle.

After strolling around in the car and looking at these ancillary facilities, Annie nodded in satisfaction, took Li Changheng's hand and talked about the places she wanted to change.

"Honey, if the main building is redecorated, can we design it in a low-key and simple way.

I can't accept the black marble, and the proportion of gold in the bathroom and other places is too large.

Friends from London who come to visit us in the future will definitely think that we are too high-profile and luxurious.

Also, I don't like the spiral staircase leading to the master bedroom, with black marble steps, it makes people stand outside the master bedroom, feeling like there is an abyss next to it. "
