Chapter 1520

Li Mu didn't expect that Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, would also come to such a party in London, but on second thought, didn't he come too?

Now, I'm only one step away from the richest man in the world. Once I get out of this step, I'll probably be worth twice as much as Bill Gates.

Maybe Bill Gates would be surprised to know that he would come.

After passing the customs quickly, Li Mu's motorcade left the airport.

As soon as the team left the airport, several police cars and motorcycles were immediately integrated into the formation, escorting the way back and forth, and all the way to the south of London.

Li Mu doesn't like the weather in London very much. Although it's cool, it's gloomy. The air is full of wet taste. It looks like it's just rained.

Steve Johnson introduced to Li Mu: "it often rains in London, which is quite different from the weather in Yanjing. There are fewer sunny days and higher air humidity in Yanjing."

Li Mu asked him curiously, "have you lived in Yanjing?"

"I stayed in Yanjing a long time ago." Steve Johnson smiled and said: "many people don't like the frequent rainy and humid weather in London. However, the royal family in the Middle East loves the rainy weather in London. If you have contact with them, you will find that they like the rainy and snowy seasons most. When it rains, the royal family who yells to go out is basically from the Middle East. ”Li Mu nodded and chuckled: "the more you lack, the more you love it. It's like people in the northernmost part of China like to go to the southernmost part of China for winter, or even buy property."

"Yes!" Steve Johnson said with a smile: "I used to live in London for a long time, and I especially like dry cities. Yanjing is one of them, but the air quality is poor."

They chatted all the way, and there was a continuous drizzle outside the window.

The motorcade drove on the closed expressway for more than an hour at a speed of about 90 kilometers per hour. At this time, there was no trace of the city on both sides of the road. Instead, it was a large area of green land, forest, small hills and Castle hidden in the dense forest.

Steve Johnson told Li Mu, "this area is actually Oxfordshire. There are hundreds of ancient forts and manors with hundreds of years of history in this area. The small ones cover tens of thousands of square meters, and the large ones cover thousands of acres."

Li Mu once heard about the ancient castle in England and asked with a smile, "I heard that when buying an ancient castle in England, it must be maintained and repaired regularly according to the national regulations?"

Steve Johnson nodded and said, "it's true that many of the original owners of the ancient fort have sold their own in recent decades. Most of the people who inherited the ancient fort and the manor from their ancestors can hardly afford the huge expenses of the ancient fort. So many of the ancient fort have been bought by some new overseas rich people."

Speaking of this, Steve Johnson added: "there are three places in the world where the rich like Britain the most. These three places are the Middle East, India and Russia. The top rich in these countries basically live in the UK. So there are many castles and manors nearby. If you are interested in Mr. Li, you can also buy a suit here 's estate.'

Li Mu shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll forget it. It's hard for a civilian like me to adapt to the old money lifestyle."

……

The motorcade drove out of the expressway and drove on an extremely smooth asphalt road in the countryside. When the car was driving on such a road, it could hardly feel any vibration from the suspension. It was quiet and comfortable. The curve of the curve and the undulation of the road were designed very well. When the car was driving at high speed, it could ensure that people could not feel any discomfort when sitting in the car. This made Li mufei Often surprised.

Moreover, the two-way two lane asphalt road is not wide, but fortunately, there are no vehicles on the road, the scenery on both sides of the road is very good, even the trees on the roadside are very uniform, the left and right sides are symmetrical, the spacing is the same, and even the left and right symmetrical trimming has been carried out.

According to Steve Johnson, the road is about three miles long, almost five kilometers long. It is the private road of Goldberg manor. That is to say, there is only one destination ahead when driving on the road. That is Goldberg manor.

What makes Li Mu more unbelievable is that the land on both sides of the road belongs to Goldberg family, but most of these areas are not included in Goldberg's manor area, but are owned by Goldberg family in other forms such as farmland, grassland, woodland, horse farm and golf course.

Li Mu can't help sighing. Before, he thought that the life of the rich in China was very luxurious. But he didn't expect that the life of the rich in England was more luxurious. He not only had his own private manor, but also his own private road.

A few minutes later, the team began to slow down. Steve Johnson told Li Mu, "we are almost there."Li Mu shifted his vision from one side of the road to the front of the car. From a distance, he could see a huge Castle complex in front of the road.

As the cars get closer and closer, the appearance of the building complex becomes more and more clear. The castle building complex is inverted "concave" type, with a very large scale. The main color of the building complex is rose gold, and the color is elegant. From the color point of view, it is not like an ancient building with a hundred years of history, but like a new one.

The entrance of the whole manor is a huge and solemn stone arch. The Black Gate with golden sculpture opens on the left and right. The width of the arch is enough for most vehicles to enter.

The team did not stop. They quickly passed through the archway. As soon as they entered the archway, the scenery inside the manor suddenly became bright. The castle complex was in front of them, about a kilometer away. At this time, both sides of the road were full of neat green lawns like a football field, which were dark and light. There was a huge sculpture fountain in the center of the archway and the castle The roundabout.

Looking into the distance, the lawn can hardly see the head at a glance. The lawn on the left side is relatively flat. There are several groups of horses of different colors running on the lawn in the distance. You can see that each horse has a person wearing a black riding suit and a black helmet.

On the right side, there are a few rolling hills. From a distance, we can see that the sparse white caravan is moving everywhere. It looks like a golf course.

After bypassing the island formed by fountains, the motorcade went straight to the whole inverted "concave" Castle complex. In the middle of the inverted "concave" character, there was a huge square. The square was completely empty in the middle. Besides the carriageway on both sides, multi-level plants were designed on the roadside. All kinds of plants were designed in an orderly way, exquisite and atmospheric 。

Besides, there are all kinds of sculptures around the plants, which look very artistic.

The motorcade drove in from the left side. After a 90 degree turn, it stopped stably in front of the main castle. Looking at the main castle from the near side, the entrance of the main gate alone needs to look up. Eight huge round stone pillars towered, supporting the top of the whole gate, and estimating the height of at least 20 meters.

After the team stopped, more than ten men in black suits and white gloves on both sides opened the doors of the left and right sides of the eight cars in a uniform way.

Li Mu's car was parked in the front, and the door was facing the entrance. A British gentleman in his thirties opened the door for him, holding the door with one hand and blocking the top of the door with the other.

As soon as Li Mu got out of the car, more than ten men and women with European faces walked out of the front door. If it wasn't the Rolls Royce behind him, just looking at the clothes of these people, Li Mu thought he had crossed to the end of the 19th century.

There are more than a dozen men and women here. The men's clothes are very formal, not only the whole suit, shirt and tie, but also the elegant vest inside, the black hat on the head, the outside pocket of the left suit, neatly stuffed with white square towel, the top of the square gold, and the exquisite men's chest flowers.

As for the ladies among these people, they are more particular about their wearing. The older ones are wearing all kinds of small suits and middle skirt suits. From all kinds of jewelry to bust flowers, to all kinds of hats and headdresses, they are delicate to the point of almost triviality. The younger ones are just a little simpler. They don't wear suits and skirts, but wear whole suits Set of dress, but other jewelry, headwear but not slighted.

In contrast, Li Mu's dress is quite casual. He just wears a suit, shirt, tie and leather shoes according to the normal social etiquette. He doesn't even have a wristwatch.

At this time, Steve Johnson got off the other side and walked around to Li Mu. The dozen people just came near.

At the front is an old man, who looks about sixty years old.

When the old man was two or three meters away from Li Mu, he reached out his hands and came to Li Mu. He said enthusiastically, "Mr. Li, welcome to Goldberg manor. I'm the current manager of Goldberg family, Davison Goldberg."

Li Mu politely shook hands with him and said politely, "it's a great honor to visit your manor."

Davidson Cooper smiled and said, "Mr. Li, please allow me to introduce my family to you."

Li Mu nodded, and Davidson Cooper first introduced a silver haired woman standing beside him, saying, "this is my wife, Jenny Cooper."

According to the British etiquette, when meeting with women, they should give a hug and a face-to-face ceremony, so Li Mu slightly bent down and gently pasted his left and right cheeks with the silver haired woman.

Later, Davidson Cooper introduced other members of the Cooper family to him, including William Cooper, the eldest son of Davidson Cooper, his nephews Andrew Cooper, John Cooper, and Wendy Cooper.

When introducing Wendy Cooper, Davidson especially said: "Mr. Li, Wendy is 22 years old and has graduated from Cambridge University. She is very interested in Chinese culture. She has always said that she wants to go to China to study graduate students and specialize in Chinese language and culture. You are all young people, so you can get familiar with it."Wendy Cooper's appearance makes Li Mu feel more familiar. She looks like Scarlett Johnson, a famous actress in Hollywood, at least eight times. But she is not as wild as she looks. On the contrary, Wendy Cooper looks quite intellectual and beautiful. After all, she is a top university student with a very different temperament from the actors.

Li Mu and Wendy Goldberg made a face-to-face ceremony, then said with a smile, "if Miss Wendy decides to come to China to study as a graduate student, remember to contact me."
