"There are a lot of good properties in Seattle. Let me introduce you to a few real estate agents. When I first bought a house, and when many people in the company bought houses, they were the ones who introduced them to me, "Bill Gates said.
"Bill, I am not used to living so far away. Are there any houses closer to the office?"
"Closer to the office? There are no good houses there, and there are no big houses with swimming pools. "Feng Yu is a wealthy man, and he wants to live in a big house.
Americans like to drive for more than 2 hours to work, but Feng Yu is not used to it. Americans like to be quiet, but Feng Yu likes to be lively. Americans like to have a lawn in front of their house and a swimming pool. But if they do not take care of the lawn, they will be fined!
Feng Yu only wants a place to stay. He had considered buying a big villa in the US, but Feng Yu prefers to live in big cities like New York or Los Angeles. Even if it is in Washington State, it must be somewhere close to the political center.
Feng Yu had even thought of buying a condominium.
"I don't need a swimming pool, garden, or lawn. I am living here alone. I just don't want to stay in a hotel."
"Then what about your bodyguards? I saw you hired more than a dozen bodyguards. Don't they want to stay with you? "Bill Gates asked. How can a small house be enough?
"We can just buy the first floor of the apartment, or even the floors above and below." Feng Yu replied.
"You like to invest in real estate?" Bill Gates does not understand Feng Yu. Buying a three-story apartment was more expensive than a big house, and the environment was not good. Bill Gates could not understand Feng Yu's thinking.
"I only want to be safe." Feng Yu replied helplessly.
"Hahaha, Feng, you are the same as many people who came to the US for the first time. You think it is dangerous to stay in a country where guns are not banned. In fact, you don't need to worry about this. You have so many bodyguards with you, and no one dares to offend you. If you announce to the public that you are a director of Microsoft, then you don't need to worry. Also, this is Washington State. It is one of the safest states in the US. "Bill Gates laughed.
"But no matter how good public security is, it can't hide the fact that everyone has a gun, right? The probability of a shooting in the US is one of the highest in the world, right? "
Although the other party was Bill Gates, Feng Yu quickly retorted. You think it's good because you're an American!
"No, it's not like what you think. In fact, those cases usually happened at home. If you didn't break into other people's homes, then there would be no problem. No one will point a gun at you on the street, especially when you have so many bodyguards. I think they are all armed, right? Unless you want to, a person walking on the street at night. The media reports were more exaggerated. When the US employment rate was at its lowest, there were not so many incidents. The media had purposely exaggerated the problem. I think in your Hua Xia, there are all kinds of crimes happening every day, right? Gunshots will attract the police, and guns are prohibited in public, so no one will threaten you in public with a gun. "
Feng Yu's bodyguard had explained to him about this, but Feng Yu will not believe him as easily as Bill Gates. Furthermore, Feng Yu's bodyguards were very well paid, and they want Feng Yu to be worried and hire more bodyguards. This way, they can be more relaxed.
The reason why Feng Yu was so worried was because of what the bodyguards had told him.
Feng Yu realized he had thought too much. At least his life was not as dangerous as he thought. Maybe he can buy a gun or two when he has time. In his previous life, he had heard that even overseas students can buy guns.
Feng Yu rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "How far is Seattle from here?"
"About an hour by car. Maybe there are other places that are closer. Don't you have a driver?" Bill Gates asked. The roads in the US are famous, and cars can drive very fast.
Less than an hour? Feng Yu thought for a while. Maybe Seattle is a better choice.
In his previous life, Feng Yu had watched movies like "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Beijing Meets Seattle". Many people in Hua Xia had heard of Seattle. The scenes in the movies are always beautiful, and people yearn for it.
In reality, Seattle was indeed a very beautiful city. It was surrounded by forests, rivers, and lakes. Sailing, skiing, biking, camping, and hiking were all very worthwhile places to choose. There was also a very famous Olympic National Park.
The most famous company here is Boeing, followed by Microsoft. Yes, there is another famous company, Starbucks. They are known as the world's number one coffee shop chain.
Feng Yu thought for a while. Since Seattle is not far from the city, he should be able to buy a house in Seattle. If Feng Yu remembered correctly, Seattle's software and internet industry is very developed. Not only Microsoft, but there are also other internet giants.
How many software and internet companies are there in Seattle? Even Starbucks had invested in these companies. Although most of these companies were acquired by bigger companies or went bankrupt, there are still a lot of these companies. This year will be the peak.
"Alright. That means Seattle is also a good choice. Ask Tony to give Ralph the contact details of the real estate agents. I will be going to look at the houses in the next few days."
These few days are not the weekends, but Bill Gates did not say anything. Paul Allen is also one of the directors, and he does not come to Microsoft often. Bill Gates is used to it, and he is not even in the office.
Bill Gates is very efficient. Within half an hour, the contact details of a few real estate agents appeared on Feng Yu's desk.
Feng Yu called the first agent and told him about his requirements. The agent immediately told Feng Yu that there are two suitable houses based on Feng Yu's requirements. He asked Feng Yu to look at the houses tomorrow morning.
Since Feng Yu had decided to buy an American style detached house, he must have a swimming pool, lawn, greenhouse, etc. If not, Ralph had told him that it will be hard for him to invite people to his house. Even children do not have a place to play, and it is not suitable for Feng Yu's status.
Feng Yu accepted Ralph's suggestion. Anyway, he will need to hire someone to clean his house, and he can hire a gardener. If he had enough time, Feng Yu felt that building a big house is also a good choice. He can even design it according to his own ideas.
There must be a room for a bodyguard, a nanny, a guest room, a study room, and his own bedroom. Feng Yu did some calculations. He must buy a house with at least 5 rooms.
Hmmm … … he still needs to choose his neighbors. Although this house will be a detached villa, he still needs to choose his neighbors carefully.
Feng Yu hopes to decide on the house tomorrow. He does not want to stay in a hotel for the rest of his life.
The next morning, Feng Yu asked his driver to drive him to the address given by the real estate agent … …
