San Francisco is a place where every inch of land is at a premium.
After living in Montana for a long time, the first impression I get when I come to San Francisco is that everything is expensive.
There are very few public parking spaces in San Francisco, and most of them are paid parking lots.
Shopping here is convenient and there are many attractions worth visiting.
Chen Mo rented a car and took his sister to Twin Peaks, Jiuquhua Street, Russian Hill, then to Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz... Then he went to Silicon Valley, Moon Bay, and then back to San Francisco to go to the Golden Gate Bridge.
The San Francisco Bay Area is a metropolis that includes many large and small cities. The most important cities are San Francisco on the San Francisco Peninsula, Oakland in the east, and San Jose in the south. The San Francisco Bay Area is the largest metropolitan area on the West Coast after Los Angeles.
, with a total population of more than 7 million, it is also one of the regions with the highest per capita income in the United States.
North Bay, north of the Golden Gate Bridge, this area includes Marin County, Sonoma County, and Napa County. With the exception of a small area, the North Bay is an extremely wealthy place, and Marin County is often ranked as the richest in the United States.
Rich borough.
The distinction between rich people and richer people is even more obvious here.
Chen Mo made an appointment with a real estate agent and viewed more than 20 properties for sale, with prices ranging from US$1.35875 million.
Those worth more than a million are townhouses, single-family houses, and large villas in not-so-good locations.
Those over two million are single-family villas, yacht communities, or luxury homes.
Rich people here like big houses, those on the hillside or on the hill. The more expensive the house is, the better the house is. The location is on the hillside or on the top of the mountain, where you can basically see the sea view, and even the view of the San Francisco Bay.
Finally, we selected a hillside mansion near the sea in Sausalito, priced at 3.75 million. The front faces Angel Island. From the master bedroom, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf.
The villa covers an area of nearly 600 square meters, and the interior area is more than 400 square meters. Including the attic area, it is almost 600 square meters.
The location of the villa is very good, the view is wide, the house is surrounded by natural trees, and the green environment is good.
The construction of this villa started in 2007 and was completed in late 2008. It is considered a very new house. The owner of the house is a winery owner, and there are no regular residents in this house. Seeing that the current price of the house is high, he sold it to cash out.
For 3.75 million US dollars, you can buy a luxury house anywhere. If you live in a remote place, you can even buy a super luxury house covering an area of more than ten acres...
The location determines the price, 3.75 million. It looked suitable, so Chen Mo bought it.
The first floor is the living room, gym, wine storage room, kitchen, maid's room...
The second floor has a master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, a study room, office, and home theater room.
The third floor is the attic, there is nothing there.
The house was vacated, and no electrical appliances or wardrobes were left behind. However, it was cleaned and renovated before buying the house, and the walls and wallpapers were all newly pasted... As long as all the furniture is purchased, it can be packed and moved in.
After transferring the land title, Chen Mo took his sister to the furniture market: "Have you thought about how to decorate your room?"
"Well, just keep it simple. Bed, wardrobe, dressing table... I want pink wallpaper." Chen Xiao said with a smile.
"It's a big project. It looks like we need to hire a decoration company."
"Brother, I've been in San Francisco for more than a week. Don't you have any plans? Even if you want to see Xiong Jieming, I don't know how he is doing there?"
Berkeley and them are across the sea. It takes a big circle to drive, covering dozens of kilometers. If you take a boat, it's very close...
"Live your own life first." Chen Mo knocked on his sister's head: "What are your plans? I should ask you this. Your brother, I want money and property. I can't eat or drink in this life."
I have nothing to pursue. But you should think about it for yourself."
"I..." Chen Xiao pouted: "I don't have any ideas, and I don't know what to do."
"You just follow me around like this?"
Chen Xiao puffed up her cheeks and held Chen Mo's arm tightly: "I'll go out and find a job after I get settled."
Chen Mo raised his hand habitually and patted Chen Xiao on the head: "Why don't you go to work in Bai Xiaoou's company? Tangxia Yipin Restaurant will continue to expand, and there is an urgent need to improve administrative management... After you go there, you will directly become the company's management.
."
"Does Brother Xiaobai's company still need people?"
"I'll ask him. After all, I am the company's second largest shareholder..."
When he arrived at the furniture market, Chen Mo directly made an appointment with an interior designer and took him to see the house. He only mentioned some of his requirements and the design plan was outsourced.
Chen Mo was not short of money. He bought a house and still had more than 13 million in his account.
The house has cypress floors, and the wallpaper is warm and warm, which is Chen Mo’s favorite color. The furniture should also be selected according to this requirement...
The United States does not have a household registration policy. If you decide to live in a new place for a long time, whether renting or buying a house, you must first register with the local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). If you change states, you must change your driving license (no need to retake the test).
"Hey, Lao Bai, my buddy's house has been renovated. Come and get together when you have time." Looking at the new house, the only flaw is that this house does not have a swimming pool.
"Today?"
"Yes, come over when you have time."
"Okay, come after work."
Chen Mo took out his mobile phone and ordered food delivery. He was too lazy to cook today.
Chen Xiao was playing with the fitness equipment in the gym, and Chen Mo left a dozen fifty-dollar bills on the coffee table in the living room: "I put money on the coffee table. A food delivery person will come over at six o'clock, and I have to go out."
"
"Where to go."
"Go to the pet store and buy a cat."
"If you don't want a cat, if you don't want a dog, buy a dog." Chen Xiao ran out and made a cute expression.
"Raising dogs is troublesome." Since raising Dasha and Ala, Chen Mo decided not to raise dogs anymore. It is easier to raise cats...
If you have a cat, there will usually be no mice in your home.
Chen Mo moved his body and walked out.
Mid-mountain roads are all single-lane and equipped with walking trails.
Chen Mo remembered that there was a pet shop two blocks away. There was a very beautiful waiter in the pet shop...
Walking into the store, the good-looking waiter looked at Chen Mo: "Sir, do you need pets or food?"
"I want to buy a cat. Are there any Chinese civet cats?"
"No." The waiter with short hair and delicate face said: "We have tabby cats, and the price is cheaper."
Chen Mo walked to the cat area, and a beautiful ragdoll cat stared at Chen Mo with a sapphire beauty, called softly, and stretched out its paws for a kiss and a hug?
Chen Mo smiled and reached out to touch its head gently: "You can't catch mice, you just look good, I won't buy you."
The ragdoll cat meowed twice more, stretched out its pink tongue and licked Chen Mo's finger...
“You get a cat to keep mice out of your house?”
"Yeah. That's the plan..."
"Ragdoll cats can also catch mice. They are just not good at it... Usually, where there are cats, there will be no mice, and the same goes for ragdoll cats."
Ragdoll cats are really good-looking and have pure fur...
"Have you ever raised a cat before?" the little beauty asked.
"Of course. I have two purebred civet cats in the countryside."
"Then you can keep this cat. It is a breeding-grade Ragdoll cat, which is rare on the market."
Breeding grade, that is, purebred, not castrated.
"Male cat."
The little puppet climbed out of the cage along Chen Mo's arm, looking clingy: "So, I still have to find a companion for it."
The little beauty smiled and nodded: "This cat is very expensive. Originally, a rich man decided to raise it. Our pet shop bought it with great effort, and the rich man decided to raise Afra (Hebrew dust).
I regretted it."
The kitten was really clingy, Chen Mo stroked its soft back hair: "How much does it cost?"
"18,000." The little beauty said sheepishly, "It originally cost more than 20,000."
"Okay, I will adopt this little guy. But... you have to tell me your name."
The little beauty lowered her head shyly: "Ellie, Ellie Black... So, have you decided to keep it?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Great...if it can't be sold, it will be sent to New York State. We bought it at the breeding base in New York State..." Ellie said and opened the filing cabinet to find out the birth date of Aphra.
