"Yes, isn't this just a property?" Hong Yi retorted. "I find myself at a loss for words." The whole community is in one location, and if one really has to say it's a single property, it seems indeed there's no problem with that. "Mr. Zhang, let me give you a brief introduction. This community was developed by Tenghui Group a little over three years ago when you were admitted to Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. Your father had been considering your settlement in Jiangnan City for a very long time." "Zhang Menglong really did have foresight!" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself. "The community consists of 8 buildings in total. The one in the center has 29 floors, and the seven buildings around it each have 17 floors. They are all built with a layout of two elevators to four apartments, ranging from 95 to 121 square meters each. Based on the property prices of this location, each square meter should be within 90,000 to 110,000." "My god, 7 times 17 plus 29, then times 4..." Zhang Menglong quickly calculated in his head how much the entire community's houses could be worth, but his mental arithmetic wasn't up to the task anymore. Now, all he could think about was how much money this was? How many lifetimes of ordinary work would it take to earn that? "The building in the center has the best lighting and the most comprehensive facilities, specially prepared for you." Hong Yi led Zhang Menglong into the elevator and pressed the button for the 25th floor. "Mr. Zhang, the 25th to the 29th floors of this building are interconnected, mainly for your living and personal use. The topmost floor has a small open-air garden and swimming pool. Thanks to the advanced smart home technology, only you can enter the house before you set the permissions." "How do I open it?" Zhang Menglong was already somewhat eager to go in and have a look. "Your fingerprint will do." "Beep! Verification successful, respected Mr. Zhang Menglong, welcome home!" Click! The door slowly swung open, and seeing the spacious foyer, Zhang Menglong couldn't help but gape. Passing through the foyer, there was a living room exceeding two hundred square meters, and within this apartment, there was also an internal elevator for him to freely travel between the 25th floor and the penthouse. "Mr. Zhang, the actual area of each of these five floors is over 500 square meters. Of course, if you need it, I can also arrange for someone to interconnect the floors below for you," Hong Yi said respectfully. "What could they do? Their own oil fields couldn't even produce one-tenth of the necessary supply. Apart from some stubborn elements, they had no choice but to forthrightly return the seized treasures and sign a heap of unequal treaties. On the surface, they have a very friendly relationship with the Zhang Family, but in reality, they are terrified of you!" Hong Yi continued adding, "In Asia, it's mainly our Hong Family handling things. There are corresponding families on the other continents as well, and they have been following the Zhang family for a very long time. Any one of them could easily overturn a country with just one sentence!" "I... I think I'm getting high blood pressure!" Zhang Menglong quickly patted his chest. According to Hong Yi, wasn't his family practically the ruler of the Earth? "Why does this piano look so old?" Like many luxury homes, there was a piano in the corner of the hall, but this one was quite decayed in many areas. "This isn't just for show, is it?" "Mr. Zhang, this piano is called a Broadwood, which was used by Mr. Beethoven towards the end of his life. After the death of Mr. Beethoven, it came into the hands of Master Liszt and eventually ended up in the Hungarian National Museum." "Later, it was bought by your grandfather, originally intended for Mr. Zhang Xiaoyun to practice piano, but since he didn't like music, it was left unused. After this place was built, it was moved here." "A piano that Beethoven and Liszt had played..." Zhang Menglong wisely refrained from asking about the price, guessing it was yet another astronomical figure with his gut feeling. "What about this crystal statue?" Zhang Menglong had also noticed a 1:1 scale sculpture beside the piano. "Is this Beethoven or Liszt?" "This... This is one of your ancestors, named Zhang Lanfeng. He was fond of the piano and even mentored quite a few later famous musicians while studying abroad in Europe. However, he was very low-key; aside from the individuals involved, no one else knew about these events. This statue was created after he won first prize in a royal music competition." "By the way, this isn't crystal; this statue was carved out of a diamond!" "Diamond? A diamond this big?" Zhang Menglong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Oh, aside from the oil fields, your family has several diamond mines in Africa. This was made from a huge raw diamond carved out back in the day!" "I can't handle this!" Zhang Menglong slumped directly onto the sofa, overwhelmed by his own family's wealth. "Mr. Zhang, the service staff we've arranged for you have been carefully selected, and they will all be here tomorrow. Please let me know if you need anything done. You must be exhausted from the journey today; you should rest early. My residence is in building number 1 nearby." "Alright, you've worked hard today too. Go get some rest." Zhang Menglong nodded. Right now, he wanted to be alone to process the shocks he had received throughout the day.
