Chapter 1545: East Garden

plain.

At the end of May, people from afar were busy, Qin Yuhan was busy, Xu Shengzhe was busy, Ma Yun was also busy...

Everyone is busy, but Li Dong is really relaxed.

Although he has to prepare for the wedding, he is not alone. These days, everything is easy to do with money and power.

In addition, Shen Qian had almost prepared in the early stage. At this time, Li Dong didn't have much to do.

...

May 25th.

on Monday.

In the new manor bought by Li Dong.

Standing under the archway at the gate and looking at it for a while, Li Dong stared at the two words on it for a while, before saying: "Dongyuan...you are too lazy to choose your name!

I still count on you, a talented girl, to choose a nicer name, and you gave me Dongyuan! "

Li Dong complained endlessly, turned his head to look at Shen Qian and said, "Do you want to buy a West Garden next time?

It's even better if you have all the east and west courtyards together. Anyway, you, Shen Qian, have Xi in your name, which is pretty good. "

Shen Qian didn't take it seriously, she smiled sweetly and said: "Is Dong Yuan not good?

I think it's pretty good, don't show off if you are uneducated, do you think I am just like you, named after you?

Tao Yuanming wrote in "Standing Clouds": "The tree in the East Garden, the branches will grow again." Compete with the new good, to enjoy the rest of the situation. '

Li Bai's "Ancient Style" also wrote: "Peach blossoms bloom in the East Garden, and you praise the sun with a smile." '

Chen Ruyuan's "The Story of the Golden Lotus: The Same Dream" also wrote: "The careless words are not absurd, like Zhuang Zhou, and the butterflies in the East Garden are two leisurely." '

Dongyuan is not your Dongyuan, which is synonymous with beauty in the eyes of the ancients.

The trees in the East Garden are more prosperous than other places, peach blossoms are blooming all over the East Garden, and butterflies are dancing..."

Li Dong's face turned black, and he said speechlessly: "Stop talking about this with me, I'm illiterate, okay!

But no matter how illiterate I am,

Also know that your explanation and translation are bullshit.

Alright, East Garden is East Garden.

Later, I will expand it next to it and build a West Garden. What do you think?

By the way, your Qian character, it seems that it can be read as Western characters. It matches us well, don’t you think? "

Shen Qian smiled and said: "I have no objection, you can build it if you like it, but as far as I know, the most famous West Garden should be a temple in Suzhou.

If you don't mind, you can take Xiyuan Temple without any problem. "

"Forget it, I'm not interested in becoming a monk, and if I become a monk, do you have to shave your hair and become a nun?"

"It's a beautiful idea!"

"..."

The two chatted with each other with a smile, and then walked together from the main entrance to the inside of the manor.

When I came here for the first time, due to long-term maintenance, the interior of the manor was overgrown with weeds, and the trees on both sides of the road were also uneven.

But this time, it's completely changed.

The entire manor has been beautifully restored.

The simple cement roads in the past have changed their appearance now. Some places are paved with bluestone slabs, some are replaced with white marble, and some places are made of cobblestones. The road styles are varied according to local conditions.

When I entered the door before, the area near the main entrance was actually empty.

But now, there are a few more retro but slightly different modern buildings here.

Li Dong only found out when he came two days ago that this place will be prepared for those security personnel in the future, including some temporary reception areas for receiving guests, which will be set up here.

Two days ago, it was a bit late, Li Dong didn't take a closer look, and went back after looking at it roughly.

If you come here again today, you have to take a good look at it. You can't know your own home in the future.

Pushing open the door of a building, Li Dong stepped in.

Don't look a bit retro on the outside, but the interior is completely modern decoration.

At this moment, there are already people inside.

Han Fang and Xiang Wei were working on something in the house. Seeing Li Dong enter the door, Han Fang hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, you are here."

Ever since these two people came to Li Dong's place, Shenlong never saw the end, even Li Dong saw them rarely.

Of course, it wasn't that they deserted. The two of them understood what Li Dong meant last time. They were mainly responsible for secretly protecting this area. On the surface, Tan Yong and Wang Cheng were leading the team to take charge of the security work.

This time, Li Dong bought a new garden, so everyone won't have to stay outside as before.

The current manor is very large, and Li Dong's main house is still at the back, which is some distance away from the main entrance.

The front area will be handed over to the security side in the future. Of course, if Li Dong will work from home in the future, there will be some meeting areas and meeting rooms in front, including the office where the staff of Li Dong's office work.

After passing this area, there is a large lawn and a small children's playground, which are also prepared for several children in the family.

After that, it was the main house where Li Dong and Shen Qian's family lived.

Beyond the main house, behind is Li Dong's small private garden, including a large artificial lake.

After the garden, there is the back door of the manor, which is also guarded by security personnel. The back door is next to the mountain, and there are few people coming and going, so it is not as conspicuous as the main entrance.

Han Fang greeted him, and seeing Li Dong looking around curiously, he quickly pointed to a large row of large screens in the house and said, "This is the monitoring center of the entire East Garden. We have installed a total of Nearly 300 cameras.

Including some hidden places and sewers, we have installed monitoring equipment.

In addition, we plan to cooperate with Dajiang to jointly develop a drone monitoring system suitable for Dongyuan, and establish a separate system to prevent omissions..."

Han Fang spoke vigorously, and Xiang Wei also introduced a few words excitedly.

But as they talked, they found that Li Dong's face turned dark.

The two of them gradually came to a rest, at this moment Li Dong said angrily: "It's a war!

I live at home, do I need to be so cautious?

I also got a few sets of equipment, and even got drones for aerial monitoring.

In addition, don't tell me, you have also installed surveillance in my room..."

Xiang Wei quickly said: "No, we only do outdoor monitoring systems, but your villa over there has an alarm system installed inside.

At present, the voice control system is adopted, and the alarm can be sent through some established code words.

The alarm system is connected to the monitoring center here, and the guard room next to it will also receive an alarm.

And our side is related to the provincial department..."

Li Dong said feebly: "You really bothered, I doubt now whether I am still in China or not in Pingchuan.

Forget it, as long as you think it's appropriate. "

Li Dong also has nothing to say, although he is now the richest man in the world, there is nothing wrong with doing better security.

But to be honest, what we really need to guard against are some daring people.

Now Han Fang and the others are acting like a spy invasion, which seems a little too much to Li Dong.

Of course, since everything was done, Li Dong didn't say anything.

At this time, Tan Yong, who followed in, also said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, Wang Cheng and I have arranged for a group of elite security personnel to settle in Dongyuan.

Plus ordinary guards, security guards, patrol officers..."

Li Dong glanced at him, smiled and said: "Okay, as long as you think it's good, I want to know one thing most now, who can give me an accurate answer."

Everyone looked at him one after another, and Shen Qian asked curiously, "What do you want to ask?"

"I just want to know, how many people are there in our East Garden?"

There is no need for Tan Yong and the others to say, Shen Qian smiled and said: "According to their plan, plus cleaning staff, cooks, nannies, private doctors, security personnel, tutors, drivers, health nurses, nutritionists...

A total of 120 people are currently planned. "

"How many?"

"120 people."

Li Dong was dumbfounded and said: "You didn't tease me, did you? I bought a big house for myself to live in, but you stuffed 120 of them in for me!

Then why should I buy a big house, I might as well live back in the original place!

Also, with so many people, how much is the salary?

Working in our house, the average person earns 5,000 a month, and the salary alone is 600,000 a month..."

Shen Qian reminded: "600,000 is not enough, some people have high salaries, about 1.5 million a month.

Including the maintenance and upkeep of various facilities, after one month, the total expenditure is more than 2.2 million. "

Li Dong was about to vomit blood, and he gritted his teeth after a long while and said, "Just for me to live in a house, it costs more than 2.2 million a month? Calculated in a year, it will be almost 30 million!"

No matter how rich I am, I will go bankrupt if I live for decades!

There is no need for so many people, how many people are there in our family?

Counting my parents, your parents, plus two children, and this in the belly, even if there are a few more in the future, there will be more than ten people.

More than a dozen people, more than a hundred people are required to serve us in private, you really treat me like a boss!

Get a few security guards at the back door of the gate, hire a few people to clean up, and hire at most one or two chefs, more than 30 people are more than enough.

More than a hundred people, it's really as simple as I make money.

Forgot to ask, how much did the renovation cost? "

Shen Qian looked left and right but didn't answer, Tan Yong and others at the side also looked around carefully, but no one spoke.

Li Dong has known for a long time that it will definitely not be cheap.

But for this renovation, he didn't pay for it, and Shen Qian made it up by herself, so he really didn't know how much it cost.

Seeing Shen Qian's attitude, Li Dong said angrily, "I can guess without telling you, at least 20 million or more!

You can really do it, now it is more and more extravagant, this is not a good phenomenon..."

Tan Yong said dryly: "Just a few sets of monitoring and alarm systems cost more than 10 million..."

Li Dong was a little dumbfounded, and asked: "What's the total?"

"That...that..."

Tan Yong smiled and didn't speak, Shen Qian said helplessly when she saw this, "Okay, okay, don't you think you will live for decades in the future, it's a little wasteful.

A total of less than 100 million yuan was spent..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Dongzhen was choked, and he couldn't be blamed for making a fuss. It was true that he was rich, but he had never been so extravagant.

When he bought this house before, he bargained with Xu Shengzhe for a long time, and finally spent about 80 million.

He thought about spending 20 million to renovate it, which would be a luxury house worth hundreds of millions.

In Pingchuan, what is the concept of spending hundreds of millions!

In this garden of hundreds of millions, if it is replaced by a first-tier big city, it will have to be doubled by more than five times. When it comes to a small place like Xiangjiang, there are many people and little land. Li Dong’s garden can’t be taken down without billions.

But it turned out to be a good thing. It cost hundreds of millions of dollars just for the later decoration and some equipment purchases.

It is even more expensive than the 50-acre East Garden!

Li Dong is a little bit pained, how much did he spend on this wedding?

Jewelry and the like have been bought for more than 200 million yuan, Yuanzi spent nearly 200 million yuan, various other expenses, various preparations, according to the current situation, it is absolutely unstoppable without tens of millions.

Calculated before and after, 500 million will be gone!

If you add your other houses, cars, and private jets, the cost will be nearly 1 billion!

Why does the money of the rich seem to be worthless?

A few days ago, Li Dong boasted that he was thrifty, but now that he thinks about it, what kind of thrift is he? The kid Xu Shengzhe probably spent less than half of what he spent on personal matters.

Seeing that his flesh was in pain, Shen Qian had no choice but to comfort him: "It's only once in a lifetime, not to mention the value of things here, it can be regarded as a store of value, and it's not a loss."

Li Dong said depressedly: "Do you think I feel sorry for money?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him one after another, didn't they?

Do you think there are other reasons?

Li Dong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I don't care about money, but this is not good.

Especially in China, it is inappropriate to use so many people!

If it's in other places, I don't care too much. Can spending tens of millions a year really overwhelm me?

But don't forget, where is this!

It's too loud, too flamboyant.

A private service team of more than 100 people is too large.

Listen to me, you don't need so many people, a maximum of 50 people is definitely enough.

Originally, this kind of private estate was wandering on the edge of the law, but I, Li Dong, had a bit of a reputation anyway. If I really wanted to build a big house, Pingchuan would turn a blind eye to Jiangbei in order to keep me.

The same is true in China, after all, I build a house here, which means that I want to take root here for the rest of my life, instead of going abroad to buy luxury houses or farms.

But in terms of personnel, it is not ancient now, it looks like your own private kingdom, not good!

It must be reduced, this is not negotiable.

Even if there are 50 people, the security company has to be listed under the name of the security company, and the number of nannies, cleaners, etc. actually hired should not exceed 20 people. "

Shen Qian frowned slightly, and said after a long while: "Well, I'm listening to you. In fact, it's not that we insist on extravagance and high-profile, but the size of the place is so small that we can't even clean it if there are fewer people."

Tan Yong also explained: "East Garden is not a bare area, the surrounding area is lush with foliage, and the backyard is backed by a mountain. Just patrolling around, no seven or eight people are definitely not enough. If there are shifts, there are more than ten people.

There are also guards, monitoring personnel, these are inevitable.

But since you said it was too high-profile, let's try to reduce the number of people. "

Li Dong nodded and said: "Let's just leave it at that, in fact, I regret it a bit, the place is too big.

But since I bought everything, now is not the time to worry about it.

That line, you are busy with your work, Shen Qian and I will go in and have a look around. "

...

Li Dong and Shen Qian came out of the monitoring room, and Shen Qian said softly, "Am I getting carried away?"

Li Dong shook his head and said: "It's nothing, actually, you think I don't want to live more comfortably?

What is 120 people? People don't have as much money as me, and they have hired five or six hundred servants.

The key is that the impact is not very good, and the country is safer than everyone imagined, and the family lives, and there are too many people, which is actually not good.

As long as it doesn't affect life, there are fewer people and it's quieter.

Besides, don't we still have a property company? If we are really too busy, let the property company bring someone here once a week. "

Shen Qian obeyed: "Then I will listen to your arrangement. We won't even hire a chef. How about I cook for you in the future?"

Li Dong coughed lightly and said, "That's not necessary, it's better to invite two chefs, so as not to burden you."

"It's okay, live at home, women should cook."

"It's really unnecessary! You have delicate skin and tender meat. If you bump into something in the kitchen, I will feel so sorry."

"No way, am I as delicate as you say?"

"..."

In the end, Li Dong couldn't hold back anymore, and complained: "You insist on me being so clear?

I don't eat delicious food, why do you have to eat your unpalatable food.

It's okay if you don't invite security, but the chef must be invited!

Don't treat anyone badly, and don't treat your own stomach badly, I finally became the richest man, can't you let me eat something good? "

Shen Qian gave him a hard look, this bastard, am I as scary as you said!
