Chapter 21 British Private Butler Lin Dezhong!
After running all day, Yang Jirong and his wife were still tired.
After dinner, I chatted with Yang Ming for half an hour and went upstairs to rest.
Yang Ming was still in the guest room on the first floor.
It was not until after eleven o'clock in the evening that I rested.
Early the next morning.
After Yang Ming got up, Ah Zhu helped him wash his face, change his clothes, and came out to have breakfast with his parents who had already woken up.
"Peter, we will go to the villa in Repulse Bay later. Do you want to go?"
"Daddy, Mommy, let's go and have a look together."
After breakfast.
Ah Zhu followed him down.
Get on Yang Jirong's car, leave Jiahe Garden Community, and go to Repulse Bay from here. There are two routes.
One is to take the Central and Western District route to Gangxian Bay and continue to Xiangjiangzihai Road, which is equivalent to going around the west of Hong Kong Island for half a circle.
Another route is to go to the Happy Valley Racecourse in Xiangjiang, cut through the route next to it, and come all the way to Repulse Bay Road, which is much closer.
As for which is better to drive, it depends on the situation.
If you encounter a traffic jam or an emergency, the time on both routes is about the same.
Yang Jirong is now driving along the route of the Central and Western District, mainly because he thinks there may be no traffic jams here.
After leaving the Central and Western District of Hong Kong, Yang Ming found that there were fewer and fewer buildings around. This side should belong to the suburbs of Hong Kong, and it is mainly mountainous.
It took more than an hour to finally arrive at Repulse Bay.
At this time, in addition to the completed Hong Kong Ocean Park, which attracted many Hong Kong citizens and tourists to visit, Repulse Bay also formed a suburban town.
In fact, the houses near the seaside here are already of a certain size. However, the real rich do not live here, but in the nearby mid-mountain villas.
Yang Jirong and his wife have been here once and are already familiar with this place.
When driving along the mountain road.
It took about fifteen minutes.
Yang Jirong's car stopped at the gate of a villa.
Li Yufang went down and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the huge iron gate was slowly opened.
Yang Jirong drove in.
A middle-aged man in his forties came over.
This middle-aged man is Lin Dezhong, the private butler of the villa.
Yesterday, Lin Dezhong already knew that the original owners, Mr. and Mrs. Hatton, sold this villa to the new owners, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Jirong.
"Mr. Yang, good morning."
"Butler Lin, my son is here, and my son is the owner of this villa." Yang Jirong reminded.
When Yang Jirong took the wheelchair off the rear frame.
Lin Dezhong was a little curious at first.
After Azhu and Li Yufang helped Yang Ming down, Lin Dezhong hurried to help.
Lin Dezhong didn't expect that the son of Yang Jirong and his wife was actually in a wheelchair.
"Hello, Mr. Yang." Lin Dezhong greeted.
Yang Ming glanced at Butler Lin, and he was already sitting in the wheelchair.
When Azhu pushed Yang Ming, Yang Ming went forward.
Now his first feeling.
That is, this place is completely different from the Garden Community. Being here at this time, he actually has a feeling of looking down on all the mountains.
The front is very open. Standing here, you can see the distant Lamma Island, and closer you can see several islands near Repulse Bay.
In addition, you can see many entertainment facilities in the Hong Kong Ocean Park. Yang Ming can even see some tourists moving around, although it is not very clear.
Closer, you can see the houses near the bottom of Repulse Bay.
Then there are the surrounding mid-mountain villas.
There are already many such mid-mountain villas in the mid-mountain area near Repulse Bay.
Those who can afford such mid-mountain villas are either rich or noble, basically all wealthy people in Hong Kong.
Yang Ming retracted his gaze and saw the three-story villa in front of him.
There are actually five floors here. The lower two floors are underground, which are truly half-air, and there is a large courtyard above.
The indoor building area here is more than 3,000 square meters, not counting the lower two floors.
In addition, this villa was expanded by the owner in the early 1970s.
The second owner, the Huttons, expanded the house to more than double its size. Except for the high walls outside, which made it impossible for outsiders to enter, many changes have been made here.
I have to say that the location here is much better than the duplex in my father's garden community.
You can see far here and the environment is elegant.
Most importantly, Yang Ming found that the privacy and security here are very good.
"Young Master Yang, I will take you here in person." Lin Dezhong came over and said.
He already understood.
This villa belongs to Yang Ming. As for who paid for it, Lin Dezhong doesn't know.
Yang Jirong just said that. Whether he can continue to stay and continue to serve as the housekeeper here depends on Young Master Yang's attitude.
"Housekeeper Lin, you can call me by my English name, Peter."
"Young Master Yang, I dare not."
When Housekeeper Lin pushed Yang Ming to visit this villa, Yang Ming found that there were two elevators on the left and right of this villa.
In other words, going up and down the stairs is actually more convenient for Yang Ming who is now in a wheelchair.
Let's talk about entering the first floor first.
The first floor is the lobby, which has a dining room and a living room. Yang Ming saw a middle-aged couple. Yang Jirong and his wife had just come in and were communicating with them in awkward English.
"Peter, this is Mr. Hatton, and this is Mr. Hatton's wife. They are selling this villa and preparing to return to their hometown in England." Yang Jirong introduced Yang Ming.
When Mr. and Mrs. Hatton saw Yang Ming for the first time, they were also a little surprised.
There are many people in wheelchairs abroad, so it is natural.
What the Hattons did not expect was that Yang Ming spoke English very well and fluently.
This made Mr. Hatton very happy.
Soon, Mr. Hatton learned that Yang Ming had studied in London since high school, no wonder his English was so good.
Only Yang Ming knew that Yang Ming's English was good, but it was definitely not as good as Yang Ming's now.
Yang Ming and the Hattons learned from the communication that Hatton was a businessman who had been doing business in Hong Kong for many years. Now they found that business was not good, so they were ready to sell the property here and return to their hometown Edinburgh.
At that time, they bought this villa from the first owner, but it cost more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. After calculation, the return rate was more than ten times, which was naturally very good in the eyes of the Hattons.
The most important thing is that the Hattons heard a piece of news, so they were in a hurry to sell the villa here. Even if they return to Hong Kong, they will not buy a similar villa again.
Yang Ming chatted with the Hattons for more than ten minutes, and Lin Dezhong pushed Yang Ming to visit the villa.
Yang Ming smiled and looked at Lin Dezhong next to him and asked: "Butler Lin, do you know why the Hattons want to sell this villa?"
"Young Master Yang, they said they want to go back to their hometown to develop, but they probably didn't tell me the specific reason."
Lin Dezhong said honestly.
