Chapter 17 New Home and New Life
In the evening, the three of them sat around the dining table, eating dinner quietly. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Zhang Feng felt that he had done nothing wrong. His body had become stronger after he traveled through time. Getali Garbo could not satisfy him at all. Moreover, she was pregnant now, so he could not toss around too much and could not enjoy himself every time.

Moreover, he just made the mistake that all men would make. Now that he is rich, he can achieve it. Just like what was expressed in the American TV series "The Boys" in later generations, superpowers are just amplifiers of human nature, and so is money power.

When a person has money and power, his desires will be magnified because he feels that he should occupy more resources, just like the money supremacy promoted in later generations. However, the rich and powerful people can obtain more resources and high-quality women under the current laws in a fair and honest manner without being bound by morality, which makes ordinary people take it for granted.

Some ordinary people will betray their own class and engage in self-PUA. When they see people ranking higher on the rich list, they will feel proud and honored. The more gossips about those people, they will think that they have earned it through hard work and earning money, and they would do the same if they had money, and so on.

Little do they know that it is precisely because of these people's insatiable greed that their living space is severely squeezed, and the resources that should belong to ordinary people are taken away, so that ordinary people, who originally could only get things by working normally, can only barely get enough to eat and wear even if they work hard.

Zhang Feng felt that since they all thought so and supported him to become richer and have more women, he could not let them down.

"Jiabao, our baby is going to be born soon. This house is too small now. I'm already looking for a house. You two should get along well after we move to the new house." Zhang Feng said to break the awkward silence.

"Really? Then I want a special house to store my and my baby's clothes." Geteli Jiabao said happily after hearing this, and ignored Zhang Feng's subsequent words.

In fact, she had long felt that she was no match for Zhang Feng and really needed a helper. Otherwise, she would have to work until dawn every time and would have no time to sleep, which was a bit unbearable after a long time.

During this period of time I have been getting along with Qin Qingning, I feel that she is a very good person, but I am not ready to accept her at the moment, so I simply ignore her and let nature take its course.

"Well, the real estate agency contacted me yesterday, so I'll go take a look today. If possible, we can go together. As long as you are satisfied." Zhang Feng flattered. Women still need to be coaxed.

The next day, Zhang Feng went to the real estate agency and, under the guidance of a young salesperson, drove him to the suburbs.

This place is closer to Hollywood than where he lives now. It only takes about half an hour to drive there. Zhang Feng got out of the car and the salesperson began to introduce: "Sir, this is a farm with 5000 acres. The manor is attached. The economy is good now, but the farm is not making money. The owner of the farm plans to sell it and invest in New York. The manor covers an area of ​​2 square meters. The main building has three floors and 28 rooms. The ancillary buildings next to it were where the farm workers and servants lived before. It can accommodate hundreds of people."

"Well, it looks good. Let's go in and take a look." Although Zhang Feng originally wanted to rent a house for the time being, he also asked him to pay attention to whether there were any manors for sale.

Because he later remembered that the most rapid rise in the US stock market was in 1928, so there was no rush to invest. The monthly dividends from stockings and medicine sales were also not small, and he only needed to wait for two to three months to have enough money to buy a house.
Zhang Feng looked up at the large farm and thought it was great. He could raise horses and enjoy the pleasure of galloping on the grassland.
Feeling. This house in front of me looks relatively new, so I'll live in it for now. If it doesn't work, I'll tear it down and rebuild it. I can't let myself suffer anymore now that I have money.

The young salesperson took out the key and opened the iron gate of the manor. Zhang Feng followed him in and saw an empty grassland. There was no fountain as he had imagined. Zhang Feng thought he could dig a small artificial lake, plant some lotus flowers, and raise some koi.

Continuing forward, walking across the grass, we arrived at the door of the main building. The young salesperson took out another key and pushed open the door. In front of us was a hall with a gray-black Persian carpet on the floor, a piano in the corner, and a long dining table next to it, which could easily seat more than 10 people.

After looking around the first floor, apart from the hall, there were the kitchen, utility room, etc., as well as several servants' rooms. Then they came to the second floor. Most of the houses were of similar style, and there was a study. The third floor was similar. Overall it looked okay, and the lighting in the house was also good, not as dim as the castles in the movies.

The houses of this era did not have any special features, let alone a farmer's house. However, Zhang Feng felt that the farmer must not have been a farmer before, because this house was very similar to the previous castle. However, this was none of Zhang Feng's business, and he had no interest in exploring it.

It took Zhang Feng nearly two hours to visit the main places of the farm. He felt that the house was not very good, so he decided to build a Chinese-style Jiangnan courtyard building next to it, with pavilions, attics, small bridges, flowing water, and rockery gardens.
That's where rich people live. It's pleasing to the eye and more importantly, it has artistic conception. Living there for a long time can help you cultivate your character and develop the temperament of your family members. In the future, others will see that you have the temperament of a chaebol family or an aristocratic family, rather than a nouveau riche family.

"How much does this manor cost?" Zhang Feng asked after looking at it.

"Sir, the homeowner wants the farm for $50 and the house for only $1. He does not accept negotiations," the young salesperson replied.

That is $10 per acre, and the current market price is about the same. Zhang Feng felt that it was not a loss, so he nodded in agreement.

"Well, the landlord is not in a hurry, right? You can ask him how the transaction will go in a month." Zhang Feng asked again. One month later, it was exactly the year 1927. The meaning was just right for a new home like the New Year. In fact, it was mainly because Zhang Feng's current money was invested in three companies. Although the money in the company's account was just enough, he did not want to empty the company now to avoid affecting the company's normal operation. Anyway, there was no rush at this moment.

"Sir, if you really need it, you can pay a deposit and sign a letter of intent first, which is safer." The young salesperson suggested. "Okay, that's fine." Zhang Feng agreed decisively, as he still had money in his account to pay the deposit.

The reason why Zhang Feng was so anxious was that he was influenced by his previous life. He was unwilling to spend too much energy on such a thing. He had looked at a house to rent before. As long as he thought it was not too bad and the rent was not too outrageous, he was too lazy to look at other houses. After living in a house for a long time, even if there was a better and cheaper one than the current one, he did not want to change it. It was all too troublesome.

Zhang Feng feels that when the company develops in the future, these things can be slowly handed over to his subordinates. He also needs a team to serve him specifically. However, now is not the right time, and he has not developed this habit. He will just have to wait until he slowly adapts.

After going to the Driveway Real Estate Agency, signing the contract with the homeowner and paying a deposit of $5, Zhang Feng went home.

After Zhang Feng and the other two spent a warm Christmas, time passed quickly and it was 1927. Getafe's belly had grown bigger and was taller than a basketball.

A few days ago, Zhang Feng received dividends from the Langsha Stockings Company and the last part of the box office dividends from the Special Forces movie. Then he contacted the farmer to pay the balance and got the property certificate.

This was also the first property he owned in his past and present life, but he did not feel excited. After all, for a rich man like him, a house was nothing. It was just a luxury for the poor.

Today is the day Zhang Feng and his family move into their new home. They have already moved out of the old house and there is nothing to pack. They only need to bring their own clothes and leave all other things to the landlord.

Over the past month, Shennong Company's sulfa tablets have become famous, and it won't be long before sales spread across the United States. Foreign merchants have also heard the news, and many have already purchased small quantities to sell in Europe.

Most of Shennong Company’s profits have been invested in factory expansion and the purchase of new machines, and starting next month, there will be a steady stream of profits.

The three drove to Monchi Manor, which was named after Zhang Feng's English name.

When Zhang Feng's car slowly drove to the iron fence, he honked the horn, and immediately two men in black security uniforms opened the iron fence from both sides. Zhang Feng stepped on the accelerator and drove in.

After crossing a meadow, Zhang Feng's car stopped in front of a house. Before he could do anything, two people came up and helped Zhang Feng open the driver's door. The back seat door was also opened.

Zhang Feng stretched his legs and slowly got out of the car. Standing in front of him was an old man. Although he was called an old man, he was actually only in his forties. This was the new housekeeper hired by Zhang Feng. It was said that he had just come from the UK.

After looking at the house, Zhang Feng started recruiting a housekeeper and servants for the manor. The previous housekeeper and servants of the manor were taken away by the original owner, leaving only the farm workers.

In addition, Zhang Feng also recruited five low-level officers who retired from World War I. In addition to being responsible for their own safety, they also need to train more than a dozen new recruits recruited by Zhang Feng. Nearly half of these new recruits are Chinese. Zhang Feng feels that it will be safer and more convenient for his team to have some Chinese.

"Master, Madam, I have arranged breakfast, you can eat directly." Butler John bowed and said respectfully.

"Well, the luggage is in the trunk. Please have someone take it to the two ladies' rooms first." Zhang Feng was very satisfied with the housekeeper's arrangement. He turned to Gertari Garbo and Qin Qingning and said, "Let's go and have breakfast first. I'm really a little hungry."

At this time, two maids came over quickly, supporting Getri Garbo on the left and right, and followed everyone into the hall. The three of them sat down at the long dining table. Zhang Feng sat in the middle seat, and the two women sat on his left and right.

Not long after they sat down, several maids came in with dishes. Plates of delicious dishes were placed in front of the three of them. Zhang Feng picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish. Then he put down the chopsticks and picked up the knife and fork in front of him to cut the steak in front of him.

More than half an hour later, breakfast was finally finished. Zhang Feng picked up the napkin in front of him and wiped his mouth. After John confirmed that Zhang Feng and the others had finished eating, he immediately arranged for the maids to take away the plates, and then stood quietly beside Zhang Feng, waiting for instructions.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Feng suddenly felt that this was the life that a human being should live. He secretly swore in his heart that he must make more money and power so that more cattle and horses could serve him and his descendants.
