Chapter 478: Class is Everywhere
This [NY Manhattan Core Private Senior Club Club] has a total of 11 floors.
On the Upper East and Upper West Sides.
Except for those high-end apartments and CBDs, there are the most buildings with five, six to ten floors.
One56, the famous tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere, starts from 40 million US dollars. Another 432 high-end apartment building is even more expensive, and the top 8,000 square feet residential property costs more than 100 million US dollars.
They are all nearby.
The building in the club has a total of 11 floors, with the area of each floor being about 2,000 square feet. The eleven floors are more than 23,000 square feet. If it were replaced with a metric unit, it would be only more than 2,000 square meters.
It seems very big.
But this is divided into 11 floors, and life is only about 200 square meters.
If you hold such a large number of senior clubs, of course, it is impossible for everyone to crowd on the first floor. It looks like the classrooms of middle schools and high schools in China, with each person having a table a little crowded.
therefore.
In addition to the first floor, the reception was a welcome hall, which was arranged in the form of a dance floor and a banquet table.
For the other 6 floors below, each floor has a similar layout. Above the 7th floor, there are various leisure and entertainment facilities with different functions.
As soon as Abel and Elizabeth Holmes came in, they immediately walked up with the most appropriate smile because of a middle-aged man in the tuxedo dressed and half-white hair at the door.
He spoke in a standard Oxford accent: "Welcome! Welcome, distinguished guest! On behalf of Mr. Bloomberg, I welcome you here! Mr. Seifrosa and Miss Sherlock Holmes!"
"Hello."
"Good evening."
Abel and Elizabeth responded with smiles.
This person could tell at a glance what kind of housekeeper should be. Because now, only the jazz who claimed to be born aristocrats on Britain that day, as well as the housekeepers trained there, would keep talking about such authentic Oxford accent.
It is difficult for ordinary people to learn.
Actually, Abel doesn't think it sounds nice.
It is not as good as traditional American English. But the upper class in Europe and America is just like this. Even the French who used to claim to be the center of Europe. Faced with such a high-level butler who brought a standard Oxford circle, you will have the idea of having such a butler.
certainly.
It also requires a veritable Boken accent French and Paris accent French, plus Oxford accent English, which is perfect.
"Great gentleman and lady, please follow me, Mr. Bloomberg has been waiting for you!" The well-dressed middle-aged man who should be the housekeeper, leaning down slightly and invited in a European etiquette posture that Abel actually couldn't quite understand.
Abel raised his eyebrows.
Bloomberg is a true business hero. He is also a typical American dream, born in an ordinary family. He was fired from an investment bank in his 30s, but now he has become one of the richest people in the world and the mayor of New York, the richest city in the world.
His life experience can be said to be 10 points of inspiration.
"Let's go." Abel said softly
The butler smiled, turned around three times in one step, and led the way in front.
Along the way.
The three of them walked through the lively first floor.
There are many people on this first floor. Abel also met some familiar ones, such as Michael Jordan; the old woman with a familiar face - Elizabeth said it was Madonna; for example, Spielberg, who is ready to sign a contract with New Paramount...
It seems that on the first floor, most of the guests are Hollywood, NBA or other social celebrities with high qualifications or high status.
There are not one of those members of the House, Senator, or the rich.
Entered the retro decorative elevator.
Abel was curious: "The first floor is full of cultural celebrities. I didn't see anyone else, everyone else is upstairs."
"Yes. Sir. The first floor is the Welcome Building, and the second floor is the Entertainment Building. These two floors are interconnected and they can flow by themselves. However, above the third floor, I or my colleagues must be led by me or my colleagues to enter..."
The butler finished speaking.
Abel has not spoken yet.
Elizabeth opened her red lips lightly: "Class. This is the class. It seems to be absent, but it is everywhere. In New York, the differences between this class are everywhere. Although the people on the first and second floors are very famous, they may be more famous than those on the third floor. However, they are just tools for people on the third floor to make money, or chess pieces for entertainment."
Elizabeth said these words for granted, as if she was born like this. The housekeeper who had always smiled had no intention of objection.
It seems like this should be born.
The Chinese soul born under the red flag and growing in Abel's body. On the contrary, it is a little uncomfortable - what is the promised European and American worlds that everyone is born equal?! But the reality is like this, it is really a kind of black humor.
But he is very adaptable.
If you are not a class, as long as your class is high enough, what does this disharmony have to do with me?!
He asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
"It's a privilege to ask me for my name! Mr. Sefrosa! My name is James Anderson! A British man, one of my ancestors was the housekeeper of the King of Britain! My grandfather once fed Queen Victoria, and my father was Prince Wilson's driver before retirement!" The housekeeper James Anderson reported his home and name with a glorious look on his face.
Abel was a little overwhelmed.
I just asked a name, is it necessary to even say what my ancestors, fathers and grandpa did?
But he didn't know either.
This is actually a tradition.
In the European and American concepts, serving adults, even for generations, is an extremely glorious act that can be engraved in the family history and recorded in the family’s family emblem.
After all, in the two or three thousand years of history in Europe and the United States, there has never been a person who shouted "Does the king, prince, general, and minister?". The dragon gives birth to a dragon, the phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the mouse's son can dig holes.
This is the concept of most Europeans and Americans.
It doesn't matter if Abel doesn't adapt.
But he reacted quickly enough.
Abel smiled and said, "So... James, how many floors can I go?"
"You can go anywhere! But now, Mr. Bloomberg is waiting for you on the top floor! There are a few other guests." The housekeeper James smiled and took out a card from his body, swiped it on the elevator's induction button, and then pressed the 11th floor.
Top level.
In a quiet ten seconds.
The elevator climbs quickly.
