The Woolworth Building is located at 47th Street in Midtown Manhattan, a classic Gothic building. It was originally the headquarters of the Woolworth Trading Company. In the 1990s, it was converted into a five-star Park Hyatt International Hotel, operating hotel business below the 45th floor, and the 46-70th floors were converted into high-rise apartments, with a total of 23 sets. In the early 1990s, each set was priced at 8 million US dollars, and now each set is priced at more than 15 million US dollars.

Ivanka's apartment is located 212 meters above New York City, occupying the 64-66 floors of the building, with a total area of ​​860 square meters, two floors up and down, and a ceiling of more than 4 meters. There are 8 bedrooms inside. , fitness center, library, large and small dining room kitchens, collection room, small family cinema, cloakroom, etc. It also includes four open-air viewing platforms of more than 20 square meters, 46 windows facing the surrounding neighborhoods, and 32 doors.

Paintings and sculptures are everywhere in the home.

Every time Link comes to Ivanka's apartment, he will be shocked and baptized by the life of a wealthy family. He feels that although he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, he is still a poor person in terms of lifestyle, taste and lifestyle. , there is still huge room for improvement.

"Sit wherever you want, I'll go change." Ivanka greeted, stepped on high heels, and walked into the cloakroom clattering.

Link went to the small living room and walked around. He saw a vinyl record player on the reading rack, and there were many vinyl records piled up. He picked up a song "Stairway to Heaven" released by Led Zeppelin in 1971. .

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters are gold

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

She wants to buy a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed

"Do you like Led Zeppelin?"

After a while, Ivanka came out in a cotton dress, tied up her blond hair, revealing her white swan neck, and wearing a custom-made apron. Even with an apron, she couldn't hide her plump breasts and heavy buttocks.

Originally, when she was wearing professional attire, she was noble and glamorous, but when she put on an apron, she had some charm and tenderness of a housewife.

"I learned this song when I was practicing guitar."

"Then you continue to listen to music here, I'll cook seafood."

"Need help?"

"Oh, no, I invited helpers."

As he was speaking, the helpers invited by Ivanka arrived, including a seafood chef, a pastry chef, a cold dish chef, three assistants, and four waiters. A group of ten people walked into the apartment mightily.

They are all chefs from the star-rated hotel in the building, and they brought various cooking tools when they came.

The ingredients were also prepared in advance, including ten servings of Alaskan king crab, ten servings of Canadian geoduck, ten servings of Australian lobster, twenty servings of French Belon oysters, twenty servings of Southern California red abalone, etc. When the packaging was opened, all of them were alive and kicking, in good condition.

When cooking, Ivanka held a cookbook, stood in the center of the kitchen, and kept giving instructions to several chefs, telling them what dishes to cook first, what flavors, just like giving orders to her staff in the company.

Seeing her like this, Link didn't know how to complain. He heard her say that she would cook by herself before, and thought she would cook with a kitchen knife and spatula, but in reality, she invited a group of chefs to be assistants, and she coordinated and commanded in the middle.

But strictly speaking, she did cook and did what she was good at. For a daughter of a thousand gold, it is not bad to be able to do this, and you can't ask for too much.

The chefs in the building are very good at cooking and fast. In less than two hours, they made eight seafood delicacies, four pastries and four cold dishes, and filled a table.

One of the lobster sashimi was completed by Ivanka herself, well, she just cut a lemon.

"Try it, I made this plate myself."

At the dinner table, Ivanka pointed at the plate of lobster sashimi and said excitedly.

Link smiled lightly, forked a piece of crystal clear blue lobster meat, dipped it in the lemon sauce, and put it in his mouth.

The lobster is very fresh, and the chefs have handled the lobster meat very cleanly. The meat is tender and elastic, like it is alive on the tongue. With the dipping sauce, the taste is refreshing and sweet.

"How is it?" Ivanka asked expectantly, crossing her fingers.

"Very good!"

"This is the first time I cook seafood. If you like it, I will cook it for you often in the future." Ivanka smiled slightly.

Link nodded repeatedly, regardless of whether she was out of work relationship or emotion, as long as it was not harmful to him, he would accept it all.

During the meal, the two talked about the company.

Ivanka told him that after the big sales of his new album and the albums of three singers under his banner, the five major record companies and many Wall Street financial investment institutions once again proposed a financing plan to link music, and Wall Street also pushed the market value of link music to 400 million to 420 million US dollars, nearly double that at the end of last year.

Speaking of this figure, Ivanka raised her wine glass, her cold and glamorous cheeks flushed, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Link was also a little excited when he heard it. He and Ivanka owned 85% of the shares of link music and 95% of the controlling rights. The market value of link music reached 400 million US dollars. The two of them could become billionaires with only this part of the shares. 

In 2008, the two only invested 10 million in link music company, and it has increased by 40 times in two years, and it will be even higher in the future. This is indeed an encouraging achievement.

Link asked her if she wanted to accept financing.

Ivanka believes that it is not necessary for the time being. First of all, link music does not lack funds at present. After the big sales of his and Lana's albums, link music has sufficient liquidity on its books and does not need to accept other people's investment.

Secondly, the company does not lack talents. At the beginning of the year, the company recruited more than a dozen management and top musicians through competition. After in-depth cooperation with SB Entertainment, the company is full of talents and is currently developing smoothly. Accepting external investment will instead affect the development of the company.

Link nodded, also thinking of Franco's Dynasty promotion financing plan.

Unlike link music, Dynasty Promotion has only one profitable boxer under its banner, and its funds are scarce in all aspects. In terms of management capabilities, Franco is also inferior to Ivanka, and the company has fewer talents and its development is not stable enough.

This is also one of the reasons why Dynasty Promotion needs financing, but link music does not.

Ivanka also told him one thing, yesterday the total sales of "The Woman I Love" in the United States officially exceeded 4 million copies, and it was released for 11 weeks, with 4 million sales in the United States. This is the fastest sales in the United States in the past eight years. The record that broke 4 million copies.

This is a remarkable achievement. The company is preparing to hold a celebration reception. Invite the company's partners, distributors from all over the world, as well as Paris Hilton, Amanda Hearst, Georgia Bloomberg, Kim Kardashian and others to attend. These people participated in the 'fall and show off wealth' hype, and also contributed to the sales of this album.

Ivanka asked who he wanted to invite, and she could draw up a list and send out invitations from the company.

Link mentioned that he was going to Paris to film, and he didn't have time to attend the reception this week.

Ivanka said it could be put next week.

Link agreed, and chatted with her about the 'falling down and showing off wealth' incident.

His original plan was to find a few models to pose, which would cost less and arouse public controversy.

But Ivanka persuaded her sister Tiffany, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and other celebrities and celebrities to participate, expanding the influence of the show-off incident a hundredfold, and it was not an easy task to let several top celebrities take the initiative to participate in the promotion.

Link praised Ivanka's organizational and coordination skills.

Ivanka told him that at first she just wanted to ask Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian sisters and others for help.

Her sister Tiffany heard about it and thought it was very interesting, so she jumped out and posted the first photo, followed by Paris, the Kardashian sisters, Amanda Hearst, and Georgia Bloomberg.

The people who posted photos later were all actively imitating, not the people she found.

"Actually, Paris, Amanda and the others agreed to help, and it has something to do with you." Ivanka took a sip from her wine glass.

"Me?"

"Yes, they are very interested in you. I heard that they want to help you promote the album. They don't need me to say anything, they will actively join."

"So, I also want to thank them?"

Link ate Belon oysters, one bite at a time, his mouth full of fragrance.

This kind of oyster lives in the deep waters of France, the meat is plump, the taste is crisp and refreshing, and it has a unique metallic taste when you eat it. The tip of the tongue is accompanied by a tingling sensation of electric shock. After the metallic taste, there will be a strong hazelnut flavor. The taste is very rich.

"No need, the falling down and showing off wealth incident not only helped us sell some more records, but also allowed them to earn enough public attention in recent news reports and become the leaders of the trend. This way of becoming famous is better than relying on naked photos. , leaking private videotapes is more advanced, and it can be regarded as mutual benefit." Ivanka smiled lightly.

"That's not bad, human relations accounts are the most difficult to repay."

He didn't stop his movements while speaking, he ate oysters and red abalone in one bite, it felt great.

In order to save money in the past, if I wanted to eat delicious food, I would cook it myself, but no matter how good I cook it myself, it can't compare to the skills of the chefs in star-rated hotels, and the ingredients I bought are not as high-end as those bought by Ivanka.

He suddenly felt that it would be nice to live here.

There are chefs cooking, waiters doing laundry, shopping, cleaning, walking the dog and teasing the cat, etc., and I can also save more time for training.

And live on a building hundreds of meters high every day, looking at the living beings at the bottom of the building, busy like ants.

After a long time, maybe you can develop a sense of righteousness.

"Are there any vacant apartments in the building for sale? I want to buy one too." Link said while eating crab legs.

"Isn't it good to live with me?" Ivanka put down her fork and wiped the corners of her lips gracefully with a napkin.

Link smiled lightly, threw the crab leg shell on the plate, took a sip of purified water and said, "We are an arranged couple. If I live here and others find out, they will think I am being taken care of by you."

"A man's self-esteem? I understand, if you live here for free, it will hurt your self-esteem, then you can pay the rent, how about 100,000 US dollars a month?" Ivanka blinked her eyelashes and smiled.

"100,000 dollars? Why don't you grab it? Five thousand!"

"No, you can only stay in the Park Hyatt Hotel downstairs for three days for five thousand dollars. At least eighty thousand dollars, you can use all the items in the apartment."

"Ten thousand dollars, this is my bottom line." Link said seriously.

"Fifty thousand dollars, this is my bottom line." Ivanka shook her wine glass and smiled.

After several rounds of bargaining, the two sides reached an agreement on 25,000 US dollars. Link paid a monthly rent of 25,000 US dollars to obtain the right of residence here.

Equivalent to 800 US dollars a day, it is really too expensive.
