Chapter 127 Bei Lu's Home
There have always been few people put the Second Ring Road and villas in the same context.
Because this seems unlikely.
The Second Ring Road is so precious. In the real inner city of the capital, there is no land supply, so how can a villa appear?
According to conventional rules, high-rise luxury houses are only possible on the Second Ring Road.
Not to mention that it is extremely expensive, it never has to worry about selling it.
It's because the location is indeed scarce.
Which rich man doesn't want to do one?
Of course, it would be reasonable to barely regard the courtyard as a "villa" of another paradigm.
But ancient buildings are cultural relics after all, and they are subject to many restrictions, so it is impossible to make trouble by their own nature.
Moreover, the lifestyle of the ancients was also far from that of modern life.
From the perspective of practicality and comfort of living, the courtyard and villa are incomparable.
Because of this, Zhuo Qun never expected that Beilu could buy a single-family villa on the Second Ring Road.
To be honest, when Beilu's female bodyguard drove the car into a high-end residential area located on Yanjing North Street.
Zhuo Qun couldn't believe his eyes.
There is actually a different world here.
In this residential area dominated by small, high-rise, multi-story, townhouses.
The westernmost location is probably close to the west wall of Xiannongtan, with a narrow row and six independent three-story buildings.
There is a booth for the entrance and exit list here.
The two security guards on duty not only brought wolf dogs, but also had exquisite uniforms, which was obviously different from the gate of the residential area.
There is no doubt that this is a heavily guarded, independent and closed area.
It means that even owners living in other buildings in this residential area cannot enter and exit at will.
When I drove the car in, Zhuo Qun realized how many flowers and trees were planted in the villa area.
Gold and silver wood, lilac flowers, ivy, pomegranate trees, begonia, yellow berries, ginkgo, hawthorn, wolfberry, wisteria, grapes...
There are not too tall trees, but they are colorful and are illuminated by beautiful lights.
It is completely a dreamy garden with flowers and trees of all colors.
And the most conspicuous and gorgeous thing is between the two villas in the innermost part.
There is an outdoor swimming pool that is as clear and transparent as if it is filled with blue cocktails.
Needless to say, in the hot summer days, it is so awesome to see such a place in the hinterland of the capital.
But what surprised Zhuo Qun even more was not these, but that all the six villas belonged to Beilu, who was the owner of all the houses.
After getting off the bus, this is how Beilu introduced it to Zhuo Qun.
"Are you surprised? This residential area is called "Zhuquemen". It is probably located between Xiannongtan and Taoranting Park. It covers an area of 11.4 hectares and the planned floor area ratio is less than 2.0."
"In the life when I met you, in 2015, I was lucky enough to attend a cocktail villa here. I fell in love with this place as soon as I came. Unfortunately, this is a residential project that was launched in 2010. The six villas here are rare single-family houses that can be bought within the Second Ring Road of the Capital. The owner of the house is quite glad and proud of owning such a villa, and naturally it will not be transferred."
"But this life is different, do you still remember? 2009 to the end of 2010 was a downturn in the Beijing real estate market. So after the opening of this project, I easily won the six villas before everyone."
"The biggest advantage of this is that I can define this entire area as my own place, arrange it at will, and manage it with the people I hired. And because there is a regular residential area outside as a storefront, it will reduce a lot of trouble if it does not show off the mountain or reveal itself."
"So I will be very comfortable and at ease when I live here. I will no longer have to worry about secret photography and harassment, and I can also maintain privacy to the greatest extent. These houses can also be used to receive my guests, which facilitates the negotiation of cooperation on many important matters."
"Look, I am here to entertain the James Cameron couple. It has a simple and modern style, and the home appliances are all the latest technology products, and it also comes with a 3D movie screening room. The most important thing is that there is a vegetable garden behind the room.
Plants are completely natural perilla, tomatoes, cucumbers, loofahs, gourds, pumpkins, eggplants, peppers, and lentils. You may not know that James and his wife Susie Aimis are both vegetarians, so they are particularly satisfied.”
"There is a building with a fireplace, and it has a traditional American style. It has a small wine cellar, cigar room, library and billiards room. Director Spielberg and James Franco, who he recommended to me, have lived here, and it is the actor who plays Evans in "The Three-Body Problem".
"Further outside, the interior decoration is tatami Japanese style. Of course, there will be a tea room and the best equipment for bathing. Even the bathroom and bathroom are separated. The backyard is a bamboo forest, and there is also a bath pool for outdoor bathing, which Japanese guests like."
"There is also the No. 1 Complex Building outside. It is just a regular luxury decoration. It has musical instruments and a stage, mainly for holding private banquets, cocktail parties and parties. Several small rooms on the first floor are used by the staff every day. There is also a larger movie screening room upstairs. Sometimes I watch samples here and call my subordinates to discuss work."
"And the two innermost houses, one I live in, and the other one I live in, my bodyguard and housekeeper. However, my residence is empty and simple, I hope you don't laugh after visiting."
"As for you, these three houses that can entertain guests, you can live in any one of them and how long you want. Just choose what you like, don't be polite to me."
So what can Zhuo Qun say in the face of such a situation?
After a long silence, he felt a sigh in his heart.
"It's really nice. I have to express my sincere envy to you. In fact, after my first rebirth, the most I want to do is to grab money and become the richest man in the world. But all the houses I bought in the eight major villa areas in Beijing are not as good as yours."
"You should still remember what I told you. In order to realize a similar dream, I finally rented a large area of land near Beidaihe, built my own manor from scratch, and waited for four or five years before moving in."
"Of course, you can enjoy such a blessing, but it is not just that you are lucky. If it were me, it would be useless even if you know it. Because I would not have such a big deal as you, I would not have thought that I could plan like this. I would probably only buy one or two villas to put them in. Then I would definitely regret it if I figured it out later."
"I can only say that your mind and demeanor are beyond ordinary people. Maybe you are born to be a manager. Being a star is a waste of your talent. Maybe you are the real you like now. To be honest, the "Three-Body Problem" you filmed is so great, and your achievements really amazed me..."
The hundreds of years of human nature made Zhuo Qun draw the most proud part of Beilu.
Beilu's eyes lit up.
"Do you really think this movie is good? Or are you just a polite and kind word?"
Zhuo Qun sincerely confirmed again.
"Your question is really redundant. Can't your box office that sets historical records explain the problem? I was deeply shocked like everyone else..."
"No, I should say that I am the one who is most shocked. Because others have already learned about the situation of this movie through news and trailers. And I only learned about this movie for several months late. What's more, I also know that this movie has never been in history.
"Can you imagine how I felt when I saw the string of names of the film masters on the opening film without believing and ignoring? I almost had a heart attack, just a little bit..."
There is no doubt that the best compliment in the world is to praise the facts that few people notice in time and give appropriate praise.
So even though Beilu shrugged and was still modest, the corners of her mouth could no longer contain her smile.
"It's not difficult. It's not difficult when the entire movie is almost entirely funded by me. I don't have to worry about other people's feelings. Like normally, spending money in the stupidest and most meaningless places to please sponsors who don't know anything about movies."
"The most basic part of the movie is the story, and the second is to tell the story well with visual images. Especially for this movie with many characters, the performance of the actors is the least important."
"So the actors I overlooked focused on technical aspects. From the beginning, I knew that the script I chose only needed to hire the right person to work for me and shoot it qualified."
"I know all the skills and strengths of those movie masters. And even if their technical fees are sky-high, they are far from the offer of mainland traffic stars and Hollywood big-name actors."
"You may not believe that I saved a lot of money from actors. But the salary to technicians has hit a sky-high price. But the trilogy of this movie has been filmed, and I have only spent less than 1.6 billion yuan. Now that the first movie is released, all the costs have been earned. It's that simple."
At this time, Zhuo Qun shook his head vigorously to seriously deny Beilu's words.
"No, you are too humble. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do what you did."
"Even if I am more 'qualified' than you, and know more about these movie masters, even if I am also aware of the skills of these movie masters."
"You have to admit that even those who are engaged in movies have few people who have such clear views as you have. You are an expert who truly understands movies."
"There are people who say you are a vase. They really should see you now..."
I have to say that what makes complimented people more satisfied than keen observation is the sincere attitude.
This is the ultimate secret to flattery.
