Chapter 22 New Home
The Hattons didn't really tell him the reason for selling the villa, but Yang Ming knew it very well.
Take the elevator up to the second floor.
Yang Ming found that the layout of the second floor was quite good. In addition to a master room and a study next to the master room, there were seven guest rooms and two smaller servant rooms. In addition, there was a hall and a living room.
Nearly one thousand square meters per floor is very large. Even with eleven rooms, the hall and living room are still relatively large.
What Yang Ming likes most is that each room has its own viewing balcony, where you can enjoy the outside scenery at 360 degrees.
The Hattons and their families were packing up, taking away some of their valuables but keeping most of them.
Yang Ming still likes the study and master room on the second floor, but he plans to leave it to his parents.
Taking the elevator to the third floor, Yang Ming found that the layout here was similar to that on the second floor, except that there were not as many rooms.
Yang Ming was sitting in a wheelchair and could see further from the balcony.
The wind outside is blowing very hard now.
"Steward Lin, you can see very far from here."
"Young Master Yang, it's like this. Each floor of the villa here is about seven meters high, which is equivalent to the two floors of ordinary houses. The three floors are nearly 20 meters high. In addition, the place itself It’s more than 150 meters high on the mountainside, so you can still see very far from here.”
It turned out to be the case.
No wonder Yang Ming just saw this place. It was only three floors above, and it felt like it was really more than ten meters high.
It's really good here in every aspect.
"Steward Lin, what do you think? Do you want to leave or stay?"
"Master Yang, Mr. and Mrs. Hatton have always told me that they want to take me to Edinburgh to continue being their housekeeper. However, it is too cold in Scotland all year round. I don't like the weather there. My relatives and friends are in Xiangjiang, so I I still want to stay in Xiangjiang.”
"Then you want to continue working here?"
"If Mr. Yang agrees, I am willing to stay, even if my salary is reduced."
Yang Ming smiled.
He doesn't need that little money.
What he needs is a reliable butler.
Judging from the exchange with Lin Dezhong just now, Lin Dezhong is still relatively reliable.
"Besides you, are there any other servants here?"
"Mr. Yang, yes, there are two maids here, one cleaning and one helping with cooking."
"What about you?"
"I do all kinds of things for the Hattons and their family. I usually cook the meals for the Hattons and their family."
Yang Ming really didn't expect that there would be only three people helping out in such a big villa.
"So it's hard for you?"
"If guests from Mr. and Mrs. Hatton come over, we might be very tired. Normally there isn't much going on."
"Don't Mr. and Mrs. Hatton have bodyguards?"
"No, they are just ordinary businessmen and do not need bodyguards. Moreover, ordinary people in Xiangjiang will not mess with white people."
In the 1960s, even the 1970s, the 1980s, and until the 1990s, the public security in Hong Kong was not good.
Not only ordinary lower-class citizens may disappear silently, but they may even be thrown away to feed the fish in Victoria Harbor.
Even the rich, especially the very rich, may be targeted by gangsters and may be kidnapped or extorted.
In Yang Ming's view, it is simply impossible for the wealthy people in Xiangjiang to have no security.
In Yang Ming's previous life, as a global arms and smuggling boss, of course he had many bodyguards around him. Otherwise, he might not even be able to sleep at ease.
Coming to this world made Yang Ming understand that security around him was of course indispensable.
It may not matter now, but when he soon becomes a wealthy man in Hong Kong, how is it possible that there is no security around him?
"What do you think you are capable of?"
"Young Master Yang, I received formal butler training and examination in London, and obtained the butler examination certificate." Lin Dezhong said hurriedly.
This is not what Yang Ming asked.
British butlers are very famous and popular.
People like Lin Dezhong do not serve the rich, but they can still work as housekeepers or administrative staff in major star hotels in Hong Kong.
"That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is how many people can you control at most?"
"How many people do you care about? Mr. Yang, what do you mean?" Lin Dezhong was a little surprised.
"There will be more than just the three of you here in the villa. I will recruit more people to come back. There will be dedicated chefs to do things like cooking. It is impossible for you to do it part-time."
"Young Master Yang, if that's the case, I should have no problem taking care of a dozen people."
Now it seems that Lin Dezhong has understood that Mr. Yang is probably richer than Mr. Hatton. Otherwise, how could he invite so many people back?
"How many people are needed here in the villa? You can make a list for me later. In addition, the most important thing for these people to come here to work is that they are reliable and trustworthy. Those who have unclean hands and feet, talk too much, and don't know how to keep secrets are not allowed. , and don’t look for random people, even your relatives and friends, if they are unreliable, don’t look for them.”
"Young Master Yang, I understand."
Lin Dezhong breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
When Lin Dezhong pushed Yang Ming down the elevator from upstairs to the second floor underground.
On the second underground floor here, there is a glass wall on one side. Through the glass wall, the outside sunlight can shine in. Even during the day, there is no need to turn on the lights, and it will be very bright here.
At this point, I have to say that the original architectural designer designed this place very well.
You can take advantage of the sunshine outside and see the outside, so it doesn't feel like a gloomy basement like other places.
Now it is a wine store and drinking place.
Usually, the Hattons and their guests and friends can drink and chat here, or even have parties here to sing and dance.
Yang Ming took a look around here and found that it was really good.
The area here may not be as large as above, nor is it small.
Wait for the elevator to go up to the first basement floor.
This is also an event venue. In addition to the ground on three sides, the other side is a glass wall. It is also very good when the sunlight shines in during the day.
In addition to the small library where children can read, there is also a snooker table for adults, a small bowling alley, and even a table tennis table that can hold more than a dozen tables.
No matter it's raining heavily or windy outside, there's no problem in exercising inside.
Yang Ming finished reading this.
Go up to the outside on the first floor.
Just now, Yang Ming briefly looked at the first floor here.
In addition to the first-floor courtyard, there are two swimming pools, as well as a separate covered parking garage.
The Hattons have two ordinary cars made in Country Y, a Luofu and a MG sedan parked here. Judging from the looks of the Hattons, they probably don't want them anymore.
"Don't Mr. and Mrs. Hatton have a luxury car?" Yang Ming asked strangely.
"Mr. Yang, the Hattons usually drive those two cars. They didn't buy the Bayer and Pingzhi ones."
Yang Ming shook his head, looked at Lin Dezhong next to him and said, "The two cars will be used by your servants to buy things. In addition, I will pay for you to buy a batch of luxury cars."
Ask for collection!
