Chapter 888: Visiting Los Angeles

"This building costs about US$32 million." After hearing Qi Jie's words, Beliyak thought for a moment and said.

Beverly Hills may be the most expensive place in the United States, bar none...

Even villas in Long Island, New York, cannot be more expensive than here. After all, this is the most famous wealthy area in the United States.

"Well, it's not bad to buy a house here. You can come here to play in the winter." Hearing Beryak's words, Qi Jie nodded lightly, and then said with some happiness, after hearing what she said , Beliyak was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered, you know, Qi Jieke is also an out-and-out little rich woman.

She also owns a lot of Qi's shares, and she also saves a lot of the annual dividends. Add in the stocks, and her net worth is probably over one billion US dollars now. She spent thirty to forty million to buy it. It doesn’t matter if the land is there.

Besides, Beliyak and the others also knew how much money Jiang Hai had.

"Well, you can buy a villa here." Jiang Hai naturally doesn't care about these tens of millions of dollars. Nowadays, Jiang Hai really doesn't like anything that doesn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Buying one here It's a nice house where you can come and play occasionally.

After all, in winter, Winthrop is a land of ice and snow, with nothing there, so running to both sides is a good choice.

Of course, they just have this idea now. Buying a house or something is not something they can talk about easily.

After settling down in Beverly Hills, Jiang Hai and the others also had a good time in Los Angeles in the first few days.

To be honest, California, where Los Angeles is located, Oregon to the north, and Nevada and Arizona to the east, these states do not appear to be suitable for human habitation. To be honest, desertification in these places is particularly serious.

The number one casino city known to the world, Las Vegas, is located in Nevada.

What's outside of Las Vegas? desert! Arizona, also known as the Grand Canyon State, is most famous for the Grand Canyon, a large expanse of wasteland and Gobi. Its capital is Phoenix, home of the Suns.

Including California here, these three states have quite serious desertification. Although Los Angeles is very good, it is very desolate outside Los Angeles. The grassland and vegetation are not very good. The four states here are the most suitable. Instead, he lives in Oregon.

Although the atmosphere here in California is not like that in the Colorado desert, where temperatures often exceed 50 degrees, summer here is also deadly. Forty degrees is really no joke, it is a temperature that is often reached.

It’s not bad to come here in winter, but come here in summer, haha, it’s fun!

Even if the sea is nearby, it doesn't mean there is any coolness at all. There are many manors, farms and ranches in California.

But whether it’s raising cattle, sheep, or growing livestock, things really don’t grow well here, and the land here is extremely expensive.

The only plant that grows well here is grapes. This plant needs a lot of sunshine, so it grows sweetly.

Just like in China, grapes from Nova Scotia are the best because there are sunny days and little rain. The same is true in California.

There are many wine estates here, and the wines produced there are world-famous.

However, compared with the wine of Jiang Hai Manor, it is indeed inferior.

But not to mention coming here to live or open a manor, just coming here to play is quite good.

On the first day, Jiang Hai and the others drove to the Avenue of Stars. In front of the Huaxia Theater here is the place where fingerprints are left. Jiang Hai and the others also looked for the fingerprints of celebrities they knew there, but after searching for a long time, they only found Jack Cheng’s. , that is, Jackie Chan’s.

Except for Jackie Chan, no one of Chinese descent was found. This made Jiang Hai a little puzzled, because he had seen many reports before, saying that many Chinese stars had come to leave their fingerprints. Just when Jiang Hai was confused At that time, an aunt who came to travel told Jiang Hai that if she wanted to find the handprints of Chinese celebrities, she should go to a nearby street where fingerprints were specially left for Chinese celebrities.

Jiang Hai just laughed at this, okay, we need to divide it into version A and version B?

After watching the Avenue of Stars, Jiang Hai and the others had an authentic California steak nearby for lunch. The taste was average!

Jiang Hai and the others went to Hollywood in the afternoon, just because Jiang Hai was very rich, so they could go and see the filming scenes.

Of course, nowadays, green screens are basically used, because most large-scale productions are done with 3D special effects.

So it seems funny when it's usually seen, but it's different when it's in the cinema.

After going back that night, they rested for the night, and the next day they went to Chinatown in Los Angeles. Chinatown here is in the center of Los Angeles and is also where Chinese people live. But the Chinese here are basically from Guangdong Province. The early immigrants from mainland China and the later immigrants from mainland China were mainly in Chinatown, whose full name is Monterey Park City. This is where the residents who later immigrated from mainland China lived. However, Jiang Hai just came over to see the Chinese people who were here at noon. After having a delicious lunch at a restaurant, they went to Universal Studios in the afternoon and had a night's rest after going back in the evening.

On the third day, Jiang Hai and the others went to Santa Monica. Well, this place name is indeed quite difficult to name.

This is the best beach in Los Angeles. Jiang Hai and the others came here just to have a look. Jiang Hai and the others almost vomited after seeing the beach. In the evening, Jiang Hai went to the home court of the Lakers and Clippers. , Staples Center.

Jiang Hai bought tickets for two games in total, one to watch the Lakers. He heard that Kobe Bryant, the core of the Lakers, will retire after the end of this season, so Jiang Hai also came over to take a look. After all, he has not seen it in person. I've watched Kobe play.

Speaking of Kobe, Jiang Hai actually has nothing good to say about him, because Jiang Hai doesn't like him.

Although Jiang Hai recognized his contribution to the basketball team and his achievements, Jiang Hai himself did not like players with such personalities and playing styles. Although Jiang Hai looked tall and tall, he actually preferred players like Nash. players.

It feels so fluttery when playing, I feel the wind blowing gently, and the ball goes in, blowing and blowing, my pride is indulged, isn't it?

Although he doesn't like Kobe, Jiang Hai still chose to come and watch one of his games. Tonight, the Lakers played against the Nuggets. There was also a game between the Clippers and a few days later, the Clippers played against the Rockets. .

This is not the first time Jiang Hai has watched an NBA game live. He has also watched the All-Star Game, so he is very familiar with the game. After buying tickets and drinks, he took Qi Jie and Azali Qi Jie went to watch the game with Na, but there was no way. Others were not interested in basketball. In fact, these two were not interested either, but Qi Jie did it because she knew Kobe, and Azalina wanted to protect Jiang Hai’s safety, so I have to admit that in the Western world, it is impossible for basketball to compete with football in Europe, and in the United States, it is no match for football.

If I had to say where the market for basketball is the largest, it would probably be China...

Kobe Bryant also started the game in this game. The Lakers played well in the first quarter, but when they came on as a substitute in the second quarter, they collapsed for no apparent reason... In fact, this is also a common problem of the Lakers.

Los Angeles, where the Lakers are located, has naturally always been a big city. It is the city with the second strongest business atmosphere in the United States after New York. This city is bound to attract a lot of players' attention and number.

But no matter what city it is, there will be times of prosperity and decline. Even the Spurs, who have been a gangster for more than ten years and are a strong team in the playoffs every year, become the favorites to win the championship with a little reinforcement. Such a team has also failed to draft. Where's Duncan?

The Lakers are naturally like this too. They can attract a lot of players, but they can't retain any.

The current Lakers are actually a pretty bad team, and they are going to work hard for the No. 1 pick this year. It can be seen from watching the game that Kobe is not willing to retire just like this. He also wants to make a move, but the problem is, Only he thinks so.

The current Lakers team is basically cultivating rookies and newcomers, so losing is inevitable.

The Nuggets opposite were not a strong team, so the two bad teams were still going back and forth. However, in the end, the Lakers were still inferior in skills and lost the game, ushering in their fourth consecutive defeat at the start of the season.

Because Jiang Hai is not a fan, he didn't feel anything when the Lakers lost. He drove out of the arena and drove back to his home. After these three days of playing, Jiang Hai and the others were almost done playing here. .

Now, after he watches the Clippers game, they are ready to set off, but they will not be idle these days, because there are still some preparations to do. The first thing is to buy a car. Yes, Jiang Hai wants to buy a car again, but it's not a car for playing at home, but a car for going prospecting, a military off-road vehicle. It might be clearer to say it this way.

In addition, we also need to buy guns, bulletproof vests, and...explosives. Because no one knows what will happen after entering the hole, it is inevitable to prepare everything, and Qi Jie also needs to prepare a lot. First aid medicines and the like.

In addition, Jiang Hai also had to spare a day to see the guy named Bruce David!

Although Jiang Hai is very concerned about the gold mine, he cannot put the cart before the horse when doing things. The badge is actually the most important thing! Jiang Hai's biggest goal when he came here was to find out about this badge.

His sixth sense kept telling him that this matter was not as easy as he imagined! (To be continued.)
