Chapter 1678 (1/2)
After Li Mu and Du Wei successfully completed the entry formalities, they followed Schwarzenegger's motorcade to his villa in Sacramento.
It's a villa. I found it when I arrived. In fact, it's better to call it a manor.
The whole villa covers an area of more than 10000 square meters, accounting for almost a third of the building area. The rest is lawn, swimming pool and various green plants.
There are five parking spaces in the garage alone, and the garage is totally enclosed. You can enter the villa directly from the garage.
Different from the big estate of Goldberg family, Goldberg family's estate is an ancient castle far away from the city, which covers a large area and has a huge construction area for historical reasons.
Schwarzenegger's villa here is completely modern architecture, and the design is very elegant, and it is more practical than the ancient castle with hundreds of years of history.
Compared with here, Li Mu feels that his villa in Ziyun villa is really weak.
Li Mu asked Schwarzenegger curiously, ”Arnold, how much did you spend on this villa?”
Schwarzenegger said with a smile, ”the total cost is less than four million dollars.”
Li Mu is surprised to say: ”such a large villa, as long as less than four million dollars?”
Schwarzenegger nodded and explained: ”Sacramento's house price is not high. If it's in Los Angeles, such a manor will cost at least $10 million to start. If it's in the bay area, the price will double again.”
Li Mu nodded softly. The house prices in the United States have always been relatively rational, except for special cases such as San Francisco, Los Angeles and Manhattan.
”Many Internet tycoons who come out of Silicon Valley live in the bay area, where the living environment is very good. If Mr. Li is interested, he might as well buy a real estate in the Bay Area in the future,” schwarzinger said
”If there is more business in the United States in the future, it's not impossible to buy a house in the bay area. After all, it's close to Silicon Valley,” Li said with a smile
While talking with Li Mu, Schwarzenegger led him and others to the villa.
Schwarzenegger's wife, together with their four children, also gathered at the door to greet them with great enthusiasm.
They were greeted at the door by Celine Dion's husband, a music producer at least 20 years her senior.
Schwarzenegger took the initiative to introduce his beautiful wife, two men, two women and four children to Li Mu.
His wife's name is Maria Shriver, and she is a beautiful and charming white woman.
Li Mu politely shook hands with her, and she said with a smile: ”Mr. Li, thank you for your help to Arnold. Without you, he could not win the election.”
Li Mu smiled and said, ”believe me Maria, even without me, Mr. Schwarzenegger can succeed.”
Maria looked at Schwarzenegger, then said with a smile: ”Arnold stepped into politics for the first time. I was worried about whether his ability could control this position. But he has a friend like Mr. Li and you. I'm totally relieved. I hope Mr. Li can help Arnold a little more in the future, so that he won't make himself a big joke in America. Of course, he will If there's anything Mr. Li can do for Arnold, we will do our best. ”
Li Mu smiled, but thought to himself, this Maria spoke very directly, both of which mentioned the key points directly, and always praised herself. She didn't look like an ordinary family woman, much like Hillary Clinton who was beside him when Clinton was president.
So he said to Schwarzenegger with a smile, ”Arnold, you really have a good wife!”
Schwarzenegger laughed and said to Li Mu in a low voice, ”Maria is the niece of former President Kennedy of the United States. Although she is not Kennedy, she is also a member of the Kennedy family. Sometimes the members of the Kennedy family talk so directly. Please forgive me.”
With that, Schwarzenegger added: ”but Maria is right about one thing. Without your help from Mr. Li, I can't be elected successfully.
In Schwarzenegger's eyes, Li Mu's help played a very important role in his successful election as governor of California.
But Li Mu knew that Schwarzenegger could be elected by himself, and he was just helping him to make the best of it.
However, Li Mu is not too modest. On the contrary, he thinks that Maria is not a simple woman. When she comes up, she tells herself that she should be exploring her position towards Schwarzenegger, hoping to get her own voice.
What's more, in those words that Maria just said, she has already made a statement for Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger is willing to cooperate with him in depth. The rest is whether she is willing to cooperate with him in depth.
Li Mu thought of this and smiled calmly, and said to Maria and Schwarzenegger, ”I hope we can cooperate in depth, support and help each other in the future. I am very optimistic that Arnold will make some achievements in the position of governor of California, so I will also give all the help I can to support Arnold to achieve this goal.”
