I Am a Nobleman in England

two days later.

London Heathrow Airport.

Arthur, with a pair of sunglasses on his face, looked at Emilia, who was wearing a black loose sweater and matching black skinny jeans, standing at the airport gate with a wry smile, and waved goodbye to him with a smile.

"Hey--"

Watching her back disappear, Arthur couldn't help but sighed helplessly, and Eddie, who was standing beside him and came to see Emilia off together, gave him an annoyed look and said sneeringly: "You really know how to pretend!" , Pretending to be reluctant, who is it for? If you really want to, two days ago, I believe you can find a way to make her forgive you, but you didn't do anything, did you? "

"In the past few days, I have been so busy that I hardly even have time for afternoon tea. Negotiations with banks, research projects, new company recruitment, etc. work one after another. Where do I have time... Forget it, let me tell you. Useless."

After speaking, Arthur shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the gate of the airport hall.

Emilia finally chose to fly to the United States with her agent, and Arthur was really busy these days, sending Emilia a lot of phone calls and text messages.

Perhaps it was because the media hadn't reported any more scandals in the past few days, and Emilia's anger has also calmed down a lot. At least she no longer refused to answer Arthur's calls, and she even told him when she left.

For Emilia's pursuit of her ideal as an actor, no matter how you look at it, Arthur has no reason to stop it, just like he would not stop for anyone for his own career, everyone has their own choice. power of life.

Arthur's explanation to Eddie also told Emilia that he didn't lie, he was indeed very busy these two days, and he was too busy to think about the relationship between his children.

Select a real estate investment portfolio plan, conduct loan negotiations with representatives of various banks, invest in company meetings, and select interview talents for the formed advisory group. . . I have to rush to write in the evening.

For example, now, after sending Emilia off, he will return to the Financial City immediately to continue meeting with the subordinates of his real estate investment company and the representatives of Barclays Bank.

In two days, this is already the fifth bank he has negotiated with, not only for choosing the most favorable conditions for real estate investment loans, but also because he wants to choose a long-term cooperation with these banks through contact with them With the help of funds, he paved the way ahead of schedule for his industrial acquisition planning project.

After all, to play acquisitions, especially continuous acquisitions,

For mergers and acquisitions, no one plays with his own money. What's more, Arthur can't afford that much money at all. He has no choice but to find a rich bank to help him complete the plan.

Back at the investment company in the Financial City, Arthur saw that he was already sitting on the sofa in the rest area outside his office, waiting for Oliver, the manager of his real estate investment company.

"boss--"

"Well, have you been waiting for a long time?" Arthur didn't stop, and continued to walk towards the office that had been opened by the newly recruited secretary.

Oliver followed Arthur step by step and walked into the office together, "No, I just arrived too."

"Sit down. Tell Jenny what to drink." Arthur unbuttoned his suit and sat on the boss chair.

Speaking of wearing a suit and unbuttoning it when sitting down, it is not only an etiquette habit, but also a suit culture, which originated from Queen Elizabeth's son, King of Wales. Because he was too greedy for food and drink, he had to undo the bottom button of his vest after every meal, and his followers had to undo the bottom button. After that, it became an unwritten rule that everyone must abide by when wearing a suit. The rules are over.

But in fact, the most important point is that all suits are designed when standing, which is doomed to look bad when sitting down. Aristocrats pay great attention to details, and they firmly cannot tolerate wrinkles on clothes. So, when I simply sat down, I opened my clothes. In this way, the suit can follow the curvature of the body, naturally and obediently go down the trend, the lines look smoother, and there will be no sense of restraint.

"Before you were on the phone, you said you had something to report, what's the matter?"

When the secretary left with the task of having two cups of coffee, Arthur looked at Oliver and asked straight to the point without any British politeness.

Oliver didn't care about this either. After two days of getting to know each other well, most of them got to know the personality of their young boss. They seemed to be very unimpressed with the almost long-winded British euphemism, preferring to be straightforward.

"Boss, it's like this. I just received a message this morning that 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. It covers an area of ​​160 acres , the original owner spent more than six million dollars to buy it, and the other party is in urgent need of money, and is now 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 abandoned, and it also has 160 acres of land, hehe, What a lack of money this is."

Hearing the boss's jokes, Oliver couldn't help but chuckled and said: "The person who gave me this news was also tight-lipped at first, but after I asked curiously, he still revealed the client, the original owner of this castle is a A world-class Hollywood superstar, Nicolas Cage."

Hearing the name of this 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..." Seeing the boss's interest, Oliver said with a smile on his face.

It turns out that this big star, with extravagant spending and investment failures, is deeply involved in tax arrears. Since 2007, he has owed nearly US$6.3 million in income tax to the tax bureau. From 2002 to 2004, he also owed taxes. And now the financial situation is deteriorating day by day, making him have to put his house property on the shelves again to repay huge debts.

"...As for the exact number of debts owed by the movie king, we don't know yet, but seeing how crazy he is selling off his real estate, I think the number will not be small." Oliver finally shook his head and sighed with some emotion.

"Da da da--"

Arthur leaned lazily on the boss chair, tapped the armrest of the boss chair lightly with his fingers, and after listening to this content, the corner of his mouth raised and asked: "You said before that his mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles might be destroyed by the bank. Mandatory repossession and public auction?"

"Yes, that's what my friend said. Cage originally planned to sell the property for $35 million, but no one has been interested. Although he has greatly reduced the price to $19 million and $17.5 million, However, no buyers have been attracted. If the mansion cannot be sold by the due date, the mansion can only be auctioned off after the creditors take it back. It is said that the villa may be auctioned off at a price of less than US$10 million.

Moreover, this mansion has a lot of background. It was built in 1940. It is a local landmark in Los Angeles. The previous two owners were Hollywood stars. It is said that it is also a castle-like villa with a total area of ​​over a thousand 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 introduced in detail. Fortunately, when he called at that time, he curiously asked one more question, which was originally intended to be used as an anecdote for bragging later.

Hearing Oliver's answer, Arthur nodded at the other party in satisfaction. Whether he was interested or not, it was rare for him to hear the news in such detail. Details determine success or failure, and attitude determines everything. He appreciates his subordinate's ability to do every detail well.

"I am somewhat interested in both 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 true as 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. 4.9 million US dollars, it is really very cheap, even if we buy it and resell it at a higher price, I believe that the Russians, the Chinese, and the desert tyrants will be very interested.

As for the mansion in Los Angeles, we haven’t seen the live photos, so we can’t judge, but we don’t think it’s too bad. After all, as Nicolas Cage’s residence in Los Angeles, with his extravagance, it is definitely a luxury decoration, and, 17.5 million US dollars, Thousands of square meters, 17,000 yuan per square meter, luxury houses with historical value and celebrity value, with the current recovery momentum of the US economy, real estate prices will rise back sooner or later, and luxury houses in international metropolises such as New York, London, and Los Angeles, The volatility of the price is not big, so make sure to make a profit! "

"Hehe, is it safe?" Arthur asked himself with a light smile, and said to Oliver with a pair of eyes smiling: "I like the movies made by Nicolas Cage very much, and he is also one of the few Hollywood actors I like. It's okay to be an idol.

Since the idol is in trouble, I have the ability to help. In this way, you contact your friend, ask about the situation, check the real estate, make sure there is no problem, and lower the price again. I will pay for both sets. wanted.

By the way, what's more, it would be best if Mr. Nicolas Cage can come to the scene to close the deal in person. I want to get acquainted and fulfill my childhood wish! "
