Chapter 117 Visit Youying Manor

When I returned to the hotel, I saw Tang Wei on the phone.

After listening to their conversation, Locke knew that it was called by Jane.

"I didn't expect that your relationship with Jane was even better than I thought." After Tang Wei hung up the phone, Locke smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm very surprised that you can be friends."

"Who knows why she looks at me differently? It's obvious that my interests and hobbies are very different. Sometimes I feel that being friends with her is better than raising a cat."

Tang Wei sighed: "She said she would celebrate Christmas in Los Angeles this year and called me on the plane.

I just mocked the flight attendant's Texas accent with me, and even when I called, I asked the flight attendant to clean up the blackheads to avoid making her uncomfortable.

I felt that the flight attendant would probably spit in her champagne.

Thanks to Jane, she successfully destroyed all my beautiful fantasies about the children of a wealthy family.”

After spending a long time together, Tang Wei has become accustomed to her two faces in formal occasions and privately.

It was hard for her to believe that women who were elegant, knowledgeable and caring in places such as cocktail parties would have such a face when facing the service staff.

Now Tang Wei has learned how to get along with Jane, and only listen to topics of interest. As for complaints, ridicule, contempt, etc., just treat it as a way to hear it.

While chatting, the hotel reception desk called and said that a little girl was visiting.

Knowing that it was Peggy, Locke asked the waiter to bring her up.

Because their parents are separated and are determined to start a new life, they pay little attention to Peggy's daughter, so Peggy was reluctant to stay at home in just two days.

It can be seen that the little girl didn't care as she said. She chatted with Pegg for a while, and happened to Deborah call and said there was a party in the family manor.

The Youying family has a high reputation in Texas. After all, it started here, and Texas is the base of the Youying family.

After hearing about Deborah's identity, Page said he wanted to go and see it.

Lock knew that Page might not be really interested in the party of the Youying family, but he was unwilling to stay at home for more time, but he nodded and agreed.

In order to show his importance to Locke, Deborah personally came to the hotel to pick up Locke and others.

The three of them sat on the extended Lincoln, and the car started. Deborah opened a bottle of red wine from the small wine cabinet in the car, poured Locke and Tang Wei, and poured another drink for Peggy, saying slowly:

"This is my father's collection. He likes red wine very much. He owns his own winery in France and Spain. Last year, he also bought a barrel of red wine with an 80-year-old history, but unfortunately he can't drink it at all."

"I don't like red wine, and I can't accept that bitter taste." Locke smiled and said, "I heard that the estate of the Youying family is very large, and I thought I could ride a horse and hunt if I had the opportunity."

"Of course, if you are interested, you can stay for a few more days. I will ask the housekeeper to arrange it." Deborah said: "My grandfather likes hunting very much. I have learned a lot from childhood, but there is less prey this season."

Page smiled and watched the two chat. If you knew her, you could tell that she was watching the show.

Deborah didn't say that this was actually the first time she held a party in person, and Locke was one of her most valued guests.

In the upper class, everyone relies on parties to make connections, and the number of guests and the weight of the party can reflect the ability of the party host.

The Youying family's manor includes seventy-five buildings, seventy-two private highways, small airports, sculpture gardens specially designed by top artists, and art galleries with a large collection of art.

There are also many dedicated playgrounds, golf courses, etc., as well as exclusive farms, large-scale wild forest parks and several lakes.

In order to maintain such a large manor, there will be a dedicated private guard, gardener, convoy and servants to serve the members of the Youying family who live here.

Listening to Deborah's introduction, Locke felt that this place was a self-sufficient and independent territory.

In comparison, the area of ​​my own farm is similar to that of Youying Manor, but the grade is not a little bit worse.

Deborah's introduction gave Locke more ideas, about how to redesign and arrange the farm. Perhaps after returning to Christmas, you can talk to a special designer.

Of course, Locke did not intend to completely imitate the Youying family's manor, such as the sculpture garden, and there was no need to build the playground.

You can build a house you like, a private airport, and in the future you can build two private planes, and a research laboratory of your own. You must consider it carefully later.

There were many luxury cars I saw along the way. When the car stopped at the manor, everyone got out of the car. Locke looked at it and said, "A good house, it looks like the queen's palace?!"

He glanced at Rock and saw that he was just saying beautiful words, Deborah said nothing.

This house is indeed good, but it is incomparable to the palace. The United States is still much worse than Europe in terms of artistic heritage.

However, the antiques collected inside opened Locke's eyes and could be seen everywhere in this house alone.

By this calculation, the artworks in the treasures Locke received under the Trinity Church may be of higher value than the overall possession of the Youying family, but they are also on the same order of magnitude.

After a brief tour, the group sat on the sofa and had a rest while drinking black tea, Locke said to Deborah: "I see a lot of guests coming today, so you don't have to take care of us like this."

"It's okay, everyone except you is my old friends, and they don't have the same investment ability as you.

My great-grandfather gave me ten million dollars in funding and I needed a successful investment to prove my abilities.”

After several tests, Deborah had guessed that Locke had seen her purpose, so she simply stopped hiding it. This made her look even more grand.

Locke smiled. Deborah's strategy of getting along would not make him feel disgusted. Before coming, Locke had already considered meeting today.

So he smiled and said, "I'm having a little trouble. If you can help me solve it, I can promise to invest for you. 10 million US dollars, but if you ask about the investment direction, the return will be at least twice as much in a year."

"But ask about the investment direction, which investor do you think will be willing to accept such conditions?"

Locke had already let go, but Deborah did not agree because his conditions were really unreasonable.

However, asking about the investment direction means that she cannot know where the money she invested was going. This is different from giving money to Locke for nothing.

"I have a big opportunity within a year. I have been watching it for a long time. Naturally, it is impossible to let the news spread so as not to have any accidents."

Locke said: "Of course, in order to give you peace of mind, we can sign a contract. If the income does not double what I said, then I am willing to make up for it."
