?Genius remembers "" in one second, and provides you with wonderful novel reading.

Long Island, New York is an island in North America in the Atlantic Ocean. It is located on the east coast of North America and belongs to the State of New York in the United States.

The whole island is 190 kilometers long and 20-30 kilometers wide. The whole island extends from New York Harbor into the North Atlantic Ocean.

To the north, it faces Connecticut and Rhode Island across the Gulf of Long Island, and to the south is the large bay of the North Atlantic Ocean on the edge of North America. At the east end, Long Island is divided into two forks, which are called South Forks. And North Fork.

To the west of Long Island are the urban areas of Brooklyn and Queens in New York City, and to the east are Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State. If the average New Yorker speaks of Long Island, they only refer to these two counties.

Long Island is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The island is full of forests, with abundant rainfall and humid climate. Due to its maritime climate, the summer is not hot, and it is considered to be one of the most inhabitable areas in the world.

This is also an area where the wealthy gather. Many wealthy Americans, including wealthy foreigners, have bought real estate here.

If it weren't for the super-rich to have a whole vacation spot, then the nine wealthy towns in Nassau County on the north coast of Long Island are the best choices.

Different from the dense towns in the general concept, except for some relatively concentrated public service facilities, the wealthy people generally live in villas and manors surrounded by greenery, which are very scattered.

For example, at this meeting, Zhang Nan was in front of a two-story villa with 12 bedrooms near Oysbet: it was said that the villa was more like a small manor, including the surrounding woods, covering an area of ​​about 1 hectare!

10,000 square meters!

The orientation of the small manor seems to be a little problematic: the long main building faces southeast instead of south, because in front of the house, in addition to the lawn, garden and swimming pool, there is a downhill with a drop of about 3 meters, which is narrow. There is also a wooden trestle bridge on a narrow section of private beach.

This is tailored to local conditions, in order to be able to "face the sea and bloom in spring."

Standing at the front door of the house, you can see a bay, and a few nautical miles away, you can see another peninsula protruding from Long Island.

The furnishings in the house are basically still there. The main building is a reinforced concrete and stone structure built in the 1970s.

"Yes, not a wooden house."

Zhang Nan knows that American man-made houses often use wood, because they didn't plan to live for several generations! But think about the tragedy of those wooden villas in the hurricane, Zhang Nan really doesn't like American wooden houses!

In addition to Manager Curry, there will be three white people standing around Zhang Nan and Nicole. This is the bodyguard he hired.

Thomas Jackson, forty years old this year, is taller than Zhang Nan. He doesn't seem to be strong, but he is the head of this group of people. Participated in the Vietnam War and was originally a Marine.

He joined the security company after the Vietnam War and has more than ten years of private security experience.

He is married and has three children in the family.

Paul George, 30 years old, married, has a little girl in the family. The height is close to 1.9 meters. After being a soldier for five years, it seems that he belonged to an Air Force special service. After that, he worked as a firefighter for two years and became a private bodyguard four years ago.

Anthony Davis, an armed driver, 48 years old, a police background, retired early and worked in this line two years ago. Because the salary in this industry is high, and there are 5 children in his family that need to be raised: the oldest 20-year-old is in college, and the youngest is only 5 years old and is still in kindergarten.

As for another armed driver who was watching the car on the road between the house and the grove, his name was Zach Lavin, a black man, 35 years old, married, and his family had twin sons who were only 3 years old.

This man is not tall, only about 1.70 meters tall. He has worked in the FBI based on his resume. However, it was not a "senior employee" such as a special investigator, but a full-time driver. I also worked in the army earlier, the army, who can drive special.

As for the reason for leaving the Bureau of Investigation a year ago, it was a bit strange and a bit helpless: layoffs!

These are currently Zhang Nan's four bodyguards. As for the other seven full-time bodyguards, Curry is looking for his subordinates: some candidates are still being temporarily employed by employers, and some are on leave. The bodyguards on standby also need to be screened in advance, because Zhang Nan has his own requirements: there is no requirement for skin color, we are not a species-ethnic-dominant-righteous person, but all bodyguards must be married and have children!

Don't bachelors!

People who are married and have children will have concerns, although if it is really fatal, it depends on the professional quality and professional ethics of the bodyguard. But the advantage is even greater: parents generally don't mess around, because there are family fetters!

Some people say that the Zhongnanhai bodyguards are all orphans born and trained since childhood. Zhang Nan thinks that is nonsense!

Do you dare to use an orphan as a bodyguard?

Bodyguards, it's best to have a lot of children in the family, there are old ones and young ones!

Besides, there are two big beauties in the house, let's not let the young man!

...

The more I look at this house, the more familiar I am. I look from the east to the west and look up and down, so that the buddies of the real estate company who accompany are a little confused about the situation: other people look at the interior and the surrounding scenery, how does this Mr. Allen look at it? A little different from others, always staring at the woods on the side of the lawn!

"There is no need to go to the second place. This house is good. If the price can be reduced by another 200,000 US dollars, I will buy it. []"

Nicole also came to help. After some negotiations, the price was 4.12 million US dollars, which was a discount of 80,000 US dollars.

It's really not expensive, it's only 40 kilometers from Manhattan, and it still has a mansion with a private beach!

Next, contact the housekeeping company: the house does not need to be redecorated, but it is necessary to clean, decorate the house, add some furniture, bedding, pots and pans...

The matter is directly handed over to Nicole, and the girl can do it whatever she likes.

But Nicole doesn't have time. Fortunately, the housekeeping company has a model: various styles of interior furnishing plans, as well as brand introductions of various indoor products.

It can be done in a week, and the work will start tomorrow, and the security company will also intervene,

After the real estate company had gone through all the formalities, Zhang Nan asked: "According to American law, is everything in this house and within the scope of the property rights owned by me?"

"Yes, Mr. Allen, even if oil pours out of your swimming pool, it is your private property, sacred and inviolable."

The person in charge of the real estate company smiled.

Zhang Nan was very satisfied and left with Nicole and four bodyguards.

Curry has already returned to the security company. Zhang Nan first hired these four bodyguards directly for one year-when they left in the second half of the year, the four would protect Nicole and Jenny respectively.

The other seven bodyguards will be hired for 4 months after taking up their posts in a week. After the time expires, Zhang Nan will also have the priority to renew the commission.

As soon as he left the house, he said to the bodyguard leader: "Jackson, do you know where to buy underground metal detectors?"

This question is interesting, but bodyguards, this metal detector is the most familiar, second only to firearms.

And for some weird requirements of employers, as long as they do not involve their own privacy or seriously violate non-laws, the bodyguards will fully cooperate.

"You can buy it one block away."

The crowd set out to buy things in two cars.

The bulletproof SUV has a partition in the front row of the driver's seat. The interior is very spacious, but only two people can sit side by side. There are two leather folding chairs that can be turned down on the opposite side, and there is a folding desk in the middle.

It was Davis who was driving, Jackson was in the co-pilot, and Zhang Nan and Nicole were sitting together.

"Ellen, why do you want a detector?" Nicole is curious, because this request is too naive: do you want to explore treasure after buying a new house?

That is the hobby of children.

However, Zhang Nan's answer was really "naive": "Well, digging for treasures!"

"I guess I can find a few coins."

Nicole disagrees.

"It's kind of fun, you know?"

After a while, Nicole may be surprised!

However, Zhang Nan didn't know if he had remembered it wrong, and hoped that this trip would give him a little surprise.

After more than an hour, everyone returned to the small manor. As soon as the car entered the gate, Zhang Nan gave the janitor temporarily sent by the housekeeping company one hundred dollars, "Go to the town for a drink and come back before 5pm."

The janitor, no matter what you want, took a hundred dollars for nothing, and happily drove a small broken car around the town.

The bodyguards are very curious about putting the detector on their backs and starting work: this new employer is really a very man. But they didn't get close: their professional ethics made them blind to all the strange behaviors of their employers.

Zhang Nan slowly probed along the side of the woods. It didn't matter if he was seen by the bodyguards. Those people had signed a very strict confidentiality agreement.

For half an hour, even Nicole, who was sitting in the chair, became a little impatient.

"Raven, do me a favor, and help me find a shovel in the tool room."

The small manor has a tool room, which includes tools for repairing cars to building lawns and gardens. Zhang Nan will be a little tired at this time, anyway, the armed driver will do some groceries in his free time, so it's no problem to make a call.

After a while, LaVine trot over with a shovel, "Mr. Allen, do you need help?"

It is not easy to find a high-paying long-term job, and LaVine is a black person. Although there is no racial discrimination in the company, everyone knows that it will be harder for a black person to pick up the job.

"Call my boss, sir, listening awkwardly." As Zhang Nan drew a circle about fifty or sixty centimeters in diameter on the edge of the woods, with a layer of leaves and moss on top, "Dig out here, it's very shallow, at most 20 centimeters, be careful."

Seeing little LaVine digging, the other bodyguards were also a little curious, but they didn't feel embarrassed to come around.

"Now during the break time, guys are coming over to see if this new home can bring me some good luck."

Since the employer said so, the bodyguards also gathered around.

"Boss~www.wuxiaspot.com~There is something underneath!"

LaVine was carefully digging the soil. After removing the leaf moss and a layer of about 20 cm of soil, some "unnatural" objects were exposed in the pit.

Putting the shovel aside, LaVine used his pocket knife to carefully separate the soil, and found that there were several rusty iron cans in the soil.

Now even the serious bodyguards laughed: The boss really dug a "treasure" this time!

Nicole smiled even more, "Dear Allen, congratulations on digging out the first treasures in your new home!"

Zhang Nan was smiling there too, but his smile was different from the others.

When Nicole was almost laughing, Zhang Nan said, "Not necessarily, maybe there are diamonds in it?"

He said that he squatted down and took out a rusty tin can and gave it to Jackson on the side.

Jackson took it indifferently, and couldn't laugh instantly! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
