Chapter 776: The vast Rockefeller Estate
…
Liu Dong smiled faintly, slowly put the photo back into his pocket, and then said: "Steven, the key is in my hand. After we have negotiated the terms, the key will naturally be handed over to you, but not now!"
"Liu, you are such a shrewd guy!" Steven Rockefeller stared at Liu Dong for a while and then suddenly said.
"Haha, thank you! When dealing with the largest business family in the United States, if I hadn't been smarter, I might have been swallowed up by you so much that I wouldn't even be able to find the bones!" Liu Dong said with a faint smile.
"Haha, Liu, you have misunderstood this! Our Rockefeller family is very particular about credibility!" Steven laughed.
But these words sounded like farts to Liu Dong's ears.
How does that sentence say, "Capital comes into the world, from head to toe, and every pore is dripping with blood and filth."
This is the golden advice that Mr. Ma left for future generations in "Das Kapital".
Countless facts prove that no successful businessman has a clean bottom!
From ancient times to the present, there are too many facts that businessmen have done without moral integrity and lower limits! In China, Shanxi merchants did not hesitate to sell the Ming Dynasty to the Braided Army in exchange for wealth.
! Abroad, there are countless examples of the Rothschild family manipulating the market, funding rebels, and triggering a series of national wars in Europe!
Integrity. Just because there is not enough benefit for him to choose to betray!
After Steven finished speaking, the elevator reached the top floor. However, when the elevator opened, what appeared in front of Liu Dong was not a spacious and comfortable conference room, but an empty rooftop apron.
As far as the eye can see, a luxurious helicopter is parked above.
"Mr. Liu, my father invites you to my home today!" Steven said.
After hearing this and nodding, Liu Dong strode towards the helicopter.
Ever since he saw Del. Roosevelt using helicopters as a mode of transportation for cars, he was no longer surprised to encounter this situation again!
But compared to Del. Roosevelt's helicopter, the one Liu Dong and the others are flying is larger in size, and the interior has been modified like a luxurious living room, with wine cabinets, wireless TVs, leather sofas, etc., and it is soundproofed.
The facilities are also well designed. Although it cannot completely isolate external noise, it has been reduced to a completely acceptable level.
"If Mr. Liu likes this helicopter, I can make the decision to give Mr. Liu one!" Steven Rockefeller said with a smile, noticing Liu Dong's eyes.
"Haha, since Steven you are so kind, I won't be polite! Thank you!"
After Liu Dong finished speaking, the expression on Steven Rockefeller's face froze. This rhythm is wrong. Shouldn't the Chinese be extremely polite at this time and insist on not wanting to do it?
But looking at the other person's smiling face, Steven felt like he was thinking hello to God!
You know, the price of such a modified large helicopter is as high as 5 million U.S. dollars. Although 5 million U.S. dollars is just a drop in the bucket for the huge Rockefeller family, it is only acknowledging that Liu Dong is given so much money at once.
After a few days, Steven still felt a little reluctant to part with him.
From the generation of his great-grandfather, John D. Rockefeller, who founded the Rockefeller family, careful calculation has been engraved in the bones of the descendants of the Rockefeller family!
But once the words have been spoken, it is obviously impossible to take them back!
"Young boy! I can't cure you!" Looking at Steven's frown, Liu Dong couldn't help but secretly said with joy.
Although he voluntarily sold the keys to the Rockefeller family, Liu Dong still felt a little uncomfortable facing this huge American wealthy family, so now that he can take advantage of the other party, Liu Dong is still very proud!
At this moment, Liu Dong felt that he had gained a lot of balance in his heart, and he felt confident in facing the upcoming negotiations!
Afraid that Liu Dong, a guy who doesn't follow common sense, would take advantage of him again, Steven Rockefeller became much more cautious in his words.
While the two were communicating, the helicopter also left the New York City area, but the flight direction was not the Long Island area in the northeast, but flew directly to the northwest quickly, and soon flew directly out of the suburbs of New York City.
After crossing large areas of forest, farmland and pasture, and even the tall and majestic Appalachian Mountains looming in sight, Liu Dong finally saw their destination.
A vast manor built on a mountain, surrounded by tall stone walls, nestled among green mountains and green waters!
In the past, he always thought that his nearly 15,000-square-meter villa in the suburbs of Quancheng was big enough, but it was really far from the one in front of him.
From a condescending position, Liu Dong roughly estimated that in terms of area alone, this huge manor that combines a European-style castle and a garden villa exceeds at least 250,000 square meters, and there are thousands of acres of woods and trees inside the manor.
It includes vineyards, ancient buildings of various shapes, natural lakes, private horse farms, and golf courses. It is even more magnificent, larger, and more luxurious than the Malbork Castle in Poland, the largest in the world!
This is the first time Liu Dong has seen the ultra-luxurious manors of the top European and American plutocrats, which directly changed his perception of the word villa. The low-key luxury is indeed amazing!
Seeing it, Liu Dong no longer felt how big his villa was!
"Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will have to be thrown away!" Liu Dong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although he has money to build a mansion comparable to this manor, the basic national conditions in the country do not allow him to do so!
"Liu, this is the Rockefeller Estate, we're here!"
Seeing the proud look on Steven's face, Liu Dong felt extremely envious and at the same time sighed in his heart.
When it comes to enjoying life, he is far from the super-rich foreigners.
Just as Liu Dong was sighing in his heart, the helicopter landed steadily on a flat lawn among the manor buildings.
When the helicopter came to a complete stop, the cabin door was opened, and Liu Dong and the two came out, a middle-aged white man wearing a black tuxedo and a red bow tie, with an elegant and aristocratic air, was already waiting outside.
"Master Steven! The gentleman asked me to take the guests to the living room!" the middle-aged white man said with a smile.
After nodding, Steven Rockefeller turned around and said: "Liu, ask Uncle Charlie to take you to the living room and wait a moment. I'll come see you after I change my clothes!"
"Um!"
Seeing Liu Dong nodding, the white butler named Charlie moved out of the way respectfully, "Mr. Liu, please!"
When Liu Dong's back moved further and further away, the expression on Steven's face calmed down, "Where is father now?"
The servant serving next to him immediately said respectfully: "Sir, I'm waiting for you in the study on the fourth floor!"
"I see!"
After taking one last look at Liu Dong's back, Steven Rockefeller III walked in another direction. Viewed from a plane, it was exactly at an angle of 90 degrees to the direction Liu Dong was walking.
"Mr. Liu, please!"
After bypassing the fountain surrounded by twelve marble sculptures of goddesses, Liu Dong climbed the twelve steps under the leadership of Butler Charlie, and then walked into the classical and luxurious hotel with Greek temple colonnades.
Behind the gate, a grand hall appears in front of you.
No, it shouldn’t be called a hall, or it should be more appropriate to call it a palace!
The entire palace is 15 meters high and 20 meters long. It has a mosaic floor, which depicts an ellipse in the shape of the earth, with animal and plant patterns on it.
The dome of the palace symbolizes the stars in the sky that move in the same direction as the sun. The branch-like lampstand is made of golden brass plates, and its sharp shape resembles the Byzantine crown.
The lamp is also inlaid with imitations of glass stone and ivory, and can light up to 96 candles! This suspended branch-shaped lamp stand weighs about 900 kilograms and is installed in the auditorium with an iron chain and a movable pulley lock.
top to adjust the lift and lower of these gorgeous light stands for easy cleaning!
The palace is surrounded by arch-like buildings supported by Roman columns that are common in large European palaces. It is divided into upper and lower floors! The upper edges of the door pillars are inlaid with exquisite reliefs.
In the center of this huge palace to the north is a throne nearly two meters above the ground. A red carpet extends from the door to the throne. At the lower edge of the throne, beside the red carpet are neatly arranged solid wood tables and chairs.
.
Each of these tables and chairs has a twinkling aura, and they are obviously considered real antiques. However, it is not surprising that so many classical tables and chairs that can be called works of art appear in the Rockefeller family.
But the current situation made Liu Dong feel disgusted. He sat on the chair and looked up at the throne, as if the ministers were worshiping the emperor.
It is estimated that the Rockefeller family had this idea in mind when they originally built this palace.
If you were to sit like this, if you were replaced by someone with poor psychological quality and fear of the prestige of the Rockefeller family, I am afraid that before the negotiation, you would feel that you are a head shorter, and then you would be at the mercy of others!
However, Liu Dong obviously will not fall into this situation. You must know that he is the one who takes the initiative now!
"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment. Mr. Rockefeller will come to see you soon!"
"I know!" Liu Dong nodded.
Seeing this, Butler Charlie asked the servant to bring fruits and drinks to Liu Dong, then turned and left!
In the blink of an eye, only Liu Dong and the middle-aged manservant with a respectful face were left in Nuo Da's palace-style reception room!
Sitting on the chair, the light of Liu Dong's relics has enveloped the entire manor! Soon he found the Rockefellers standing in a study room, monitoring his every move through the monitor!
