Chapter 170: Back to the big tree to enjoy the cool
Two days later.
London Heathrow Airport.
With a pair of sunglasses on his face, Arthur smiled bitterly at Emilia, who was wearing a black loose sweater and black skinny jeans standing in the airport gate, smiled and waved goodbye to him.
"Hey--"
Seeing her back disappear, Arthur couldn't help but sighed helplessly, and Eddie, who was standing by his side, together to send Emilia off, gave him an angry look and sneered: "I really can pretend , Pretending to be reluctant, who will you show it to? If you are really interested, I believe you can find a way to forgive you two days ago, but you did nothing, did you?"
"In the past few days, I have almost no time to have afternoon tea, negotiating with banks, researching projects, recruiting new companies, etc. one after another, where can I have time... Forget it, I told you. It's useless."
After speaking, Arthur shook his head helplessly, turned and walked towards the gate of the airport hall.
Emilia finally chose to fly to the United States with her agent, and Arthur is really busy these days, and she has sent a lot of calls and text messages to Emilia.
Perhaps it was because the media hadn't reported any scandals in the last few days, and Emilia's heart was relieved a lot. At least, she no longer refused to answer Arthur's calls, and she also told him the time she was leaving.
Regarding Emilia’s pursuit of her actor’s ideals, Arthur has no reason to stop him from any aspect, just like he would not stop for anyone else for his own career. Everyone has a choice. Power of life.
Arthur's explanation to Eddie also told Emilia that he didn't lie. He was really busy these two days, and he was too busy to think about the love of his children.
Selection of real estate investment portfolio plans, loan negotiations with representatives of various banks, investment company meetings, and selection of interviewing talents for the formed advisory group. . . I have to rush to write in the evening.
For example, now, after sending Emilia, he will return to the Financial City immediately and continue to meet with representatives of Barclays Bank and the subordinates of his real estate investment company.
In two days, this was already the fifth bank he had negotiated with. Not only did he choose the most favorable terms for real estate investment loans, but at the same time, he also wanted to use contact with these banks to select one that he could cooperate with for a long time. The financial assistance paved the way for his planned industrial acquisition project in advance.
After all, if you want to play acquisitions, especially continuous acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions, no one is playing with his own money. What's more, Arthur can't come up with that much money at all. There is no way, he can only find rich ones. The bank came to help him complete the plan.
Returning to the investment company in the Financial City, Arthur saw it, already sitting on the sofa in the lounge area outside his office, waiting for Oliver, the manager of his real estate investment company.
"boss--"
"Well, have you waited for a long time?" Arthur didn't stop, and continued to walk into the office that had been opened by the secretary who had just recruited.
Oliver followed Arthur and walked into the office together, "No, I just arrived soon."
"Sit down. Drink something, tell Jenny." Arthur unbuttoned his suit and sat on the boss chair.
Speaking of unbuttoning a suit when sitting down, this is not only a etiquette, but also a suit culture, derived from Queen Elizabeth's son, King Wells. , Because he is too greedy for yu, he must untie the bottom button of the vest after each meal, and the entourage had to untie the bottom button, and then it evolved into an unwritten rule that everyone must follow when wearing suits. It's the rule.
But in fact, the most important point is that all suits are designed when standing, which is destined to look bad when sitting down. The nobles paid great attention to details, and they firmly could not tolerate the wrinkles on their clothes. So when I simply sat down, I opened my clothes. In this way, the suit can naturally follow the curve of the body and follow the trend. The lines look smoother and there is no feeling of restraint.
"Before you were on the phone and said there was something to report, what's the matter?"
When the secretary left with the task of two cups of coffee, Arthur looked at Oliver, without the slightest British politeness, and went straight to the subject.
Oliver didn't care about this either. After two days of familiarity, most people understood the personality of their young boss. They seemed to be very conservative about the verbose English euphemism, and preferred to go straight.
"Boss, this is the case. I just received a message this morning. A castle on the outskirts of Bath that was built in 1775 and has a history of more than 200 years will be sold for 4.9 million US dollars. It covers an area of 160 acres. , The original owner spent more than six million US dollars to buy it. The other party rushed to use the money, and now he is willing to sell it at a low price. I don’t know the boss, are you interested?"
Hearing this news, Arthur couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Who is so stupid? It was worth more than six million dollars at the beginning, which shows that this castle is not deserted, and it also has one hundred and sixty acres of land, ha ha, How short of money is this."
Hearing the banter from the boss, Oliver could not help but chuckle: "The person who gave me this news was also tight-lipped at first, but after I was curious about it, he still told the client that the original owner of this castle was one. A world-class Hollywood star, Nicholas Cage."
Hearing the name of the favorite Hollywood star in his previous life, Arthur couldn't help but his eyes lit up and asked curiously: "Tell me in detail."
"It's like this..." Oliver said with a smile, seeing the boss so interested.
It turns out that this big star, profligate and failed to invest, is deeply involved in tax arrears. Since 2007, he has owed nearly 6.3 million U.S. dollars in income taxes to the Inland Revenue Department. From 2002 to 2004, he also owed taxes unpaid. The current financial situation is deteriorating day by day, making him have to put his house on the shelves again to repay the huge debt.
"...As for the exact number of debts that the actor has taken on, it is not yet known, but seeing his crazy sale of properties under his name, I think this number will not be small." Oliver finally shook his head and sighed with emotion.
"Da da da--"
Arthur leaned lazily on the boss chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the arm of the boss chair. After listening to this, the corner of his mouth raised and asked: "You said earlier that his mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles, might be bankrupted. Mandatory withdrawal and public auction?"
"Yes, that's what my friend said. Cage initially planned to sell the property for 35 million U.S. dollars, but no one paid any attention. Although he drastically reduced the price to 19 million U.S. dollars and 17.5 million U.S. dollars, However, buyers have never been recruited. If the mansion cannot be sold when it expires, the mansion can only be forced to auction after the creditors take it back. I heard that the villa may be auctioned for less than 10 million US dollars.
Moreover, this mansion has a lot of origin. Built in 1940, it is a local landmark in Los Angeles. The first two owners are Hollywood stars. It is said that it is also a castle-like villa with a total area of thousands of square meters, and the decoration is very luxurious. "
Hearing the boss's question, Oliver's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had guessed something, and explained in detail. Fortunately, when he called at the time, he curiously asked one more question. He originally wanted to use it as an anecdote.
Hearing Oliver's answer, Arthur nodded at the other party with satisfaction. It is rare that he can listen to the news in such detail, whether he is interested or not. Details determine success or failure, and attitude determines everything. He appreciates his subordinate's ability to do every detail carefully.
"I have some interest in these two properties. You are a professional, what do you think?" Arthur asked with a smile on his face.
"If the funds allow, it can be taken. If it is really like what my friend said, the castle on the outskirts of Bath is definitely worth the money. With the character of this big star, it must have been fully repaired and decorated. US$4.9 million~lightnovelpub.net~ is really very cheap, even if we buy it and then sell it at a higher price, I believe the Russians and the celestial tyrants will be very interested in it.
As for the luxury house in Los Angeles, we have not seen the actual photos and cannot be determined, but it will not be too bad. After all, as Nicholas Cage’s house in Los Angeles, with his extravagance, it is absolutely luxurious decoration, and it is $17.5 million. Thousands of square meters, 17,000 per square meter, luxury houses with historical value and celebrity value. With the current recovery momentum of the US economy, the price of real estate will rise back sooner or later. Moreover, luxury houses in international metropolises such as New York, London, and Los Angeles, The price turbulence is not big, so make a steady profit! "
"Haha, is it a steady profit?" Arthur asked himself with a chuckle, and said to Oliver with a smile on his eyes: "I like the movies made by Nicholas Cage very much. He is also one of the few Hollywood actors I like. It’s okay to say it’s an idol.
Since the idol is in trouble, I have the ability to naturally help. In this way, you can contact your friend, ask about the situation, check the real estate, and make sure that there is no problem. Put down the price again, and I will do the two sets. wanted.
By the way, it is best if Mr. Nicholas Cage can be present in person to conclude the transaction. I want to get acquainted and fulfill my wishes when I was young! "
