Tang Yuan followed Wang Guofei's footsteps, touring the garden of this magnificent Villa No. 29 while listening to his introduction.
From the overall picture of Gubei No. 1 to its individual components, Tang Yuan gained a comprehensive understanding of Gubei No. 1.
Soon, led by Wang Guofei, Tang Yuan had thoroughly explored the garden of the Villa No. 29 before him.
The actual situation largely matched the information provided by Xiao Yayue; it was indeed very impressive.
Lush vegetation, well-arranged and distinctly layered.
Vibrant green lawns, a sight to behold, refreshing to the mind.
Wang Guofei led Tang Yuan and the others on a tour around the villa.
When they returned to the front of the villa, he quickly approached the front, opened the double doors, and then smiled as he invited, "Tang Zong, that's about the overall situation of the garden.
Next, please come inside, and we will tour the villa."
Tang Yuan nodded slightly at his words, saying nothing, and led Xiao Yayue and Su Xiaoxiao into the villa first.
Whether high-rise residences or villas, Gubei No. 1adopts a modern minimalist style.
The design philosophy emphasizes spaciousness, neatness, and a substantial, grand house feel that retains a modern touch, with overall simplicity and exquisite details.
This architectural style and design philosophy are quite in line with the aesthetics of young people like Tang Yuan, and the decoration style of the villa before Tang Yuan seems to be consistent with the external architectural style, also being modern minimalist.
"Tang Zong, this Villa No. 29 has 4 floors above ground and 2 floors underground."
"The first floor above ground is for entertaining guests and dining, the second floor is for office space, and the third and fourth floors above ground are resting areas.
The former has 4 guest suites, each approximately 80 square meters, while the latter is entirely a master bedroom, exclusively for the owner's private use."
"As for the two underground floors, they are primarily for leisure and entertainment facilities, featuring a private swimming pool, hot spring SPA, private cinema, gym, wine cellar, tasting area, banquet hall, and other functional areas.
The design of the light well and sunken courtyard makes the underground space spacious and bright…"
As Tang Yuan and the others entered the villa, Wang Guofei once again activated his "chatterbox mode," describing everything from the overall layout of the villa to the functional distribution of each floor in exhaustive detail.
Throughout this process, Tang Yuan always walked at the very front, his pace neither fast nor slow, as if strolling leisurely, while Wang Guofei consistently stayed half a step behind Tang Yuan, constantly observing Tang Yuan's gaze.
Whenever he saw Tang Yuan show interest in something, he would immediately begin to introduce it to Tang Yuan.
Xiao Yayue was on Tang Yuan's other side, her expression as calm as water.
When Wang Guofei was introducing things, she was like an invisible person, always by his side, only showing some presence when Tang Yuan had something to instruct her to do.
Su Xiaoxiao was at the very end of the group, looking at the extremely luxurious mansion before her, feeling a little dazed.
Everything she saw and heard was something she had never encountered or imagined before.
Living in this mansion?
Such a life was beyond her imagination.
Su Xiaoxiao had always been curious about Tang Yuan's world, but today, Tang Yuan's world had only revealed a corner to her, yet it had severely impacted her innocent worldview and values.
Tang Yuan, walking ahead, did not know the psychological journey Su Xiaoxiao was experiencing behind him.
Although the total area of the entire villa, including all floors, exceeded 2,800 square meters, half an hour was enough for Tang Yuan to tour the entire villa from top to bottom.
Finally, everyone returned to the first floor and sat in the business reception room, which was separate from the living room.
This room connected to the second floor, boasting an impressive 10-meter ceiling height, with a priceless crystal chandelier suspended above, and huge, clear floor-to-ceiling windows on both the north and south sides.
"Tang Zong, are you satisfied with the decoration style of this villa?" Wang Guofei half-sat on the sofa, tentatively asking Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan nodded slightly, confirming, "It is indeed very good.
It has both texture and taste.
Whether it's the quality of the hard furnishings or the selection of brands for the soft furnishings, everything is top-tier, simple yet luxurious.
The renovation of this villa from start to finish, just the cost of decoration, must have exceeded 100 million, right?"
"A full 140 million." Wang Guofei held up two fingers, "And this is the internal price.
If it were at market price, it would probably increase by at least another 30 million on top of this price."
Internal price 140 million?
Market price 170 million?!
Su Xiaoxiao, sitting beside Tang Yuan, heard the price Wang Guofei stated, and although she tried hard to control herself, she couldn't help but gasp.
Just the renovation cost 140 million, so how much would it cost to buy the entire villa?
Su Xiaoxiao could not imagine, because the value of this villa had far exceeded the boundaries of her understanding.
"Manager Wang, the owner of this villa spent 140 million to renovate it, and now he wants to sell it without ever having lived in it.
Is it convenient to disclose the reason?"
Tang Yuanraised an eyebrow, suddenly asking.
Wang Guofei seemed unsurprised by Tang Yuan's question.
He put down his mineral water and smiled, "Tang Zong, to be frank, the owner of this Villa No. 29 is actually the developer of Gubei No. 1, the General Managers of Fulai International.
When Gubei No. 1 was first established, this Villa No. 29 was intended for our General Managers' own residence, so both the villa's structure and its interior decoration are of the highest standard."
"Normally, this Villa No. 29 would be considered not for sale.
However, in recent two years, the state has issued numerous new regulations on the real estate industry, making it increasingly difficult to operate.
As a result, our General Managers' capital chain has encountered some problems, and they are forced to publicly sell this newly renovated villa to alleviate their immediate financial difficulties."
At the end of his explanation, Wang Guofei couldn't help but sigh, feeling a bit regretful about his General Managers' decision to resell the villa.....
