Chapter 923: Poison Feast

Manors are the standard for the wealthy in Britain, and in China local tycoons basically buy villas in the city, while most of the wealthy in Britain prefer to live in manors.

The manor has large and small, small more than ten acres of land, and the large one is even worth half of London. Prices are naturally high and low, with the exception of some historical sites that are not for sale, and basically the older the same size estate in the UK, the cheaper.

That's right, if you want to win an ancient building in China, or the courtyard houses in Yanjing are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. But if you want to buy an old manor or castle in England or Europe, the price is too low to imagine.

There are even some contracts that you can buy for 1 euro, but the maintenance fees for those that follow are absolutely going crazy for anyone who buys them.

Therefore, if the local tyrants in Europe and the United States have the money to want a manor of their own, they will definitely stagger those manors that need historical repair and cultural relics protection cannot be changed. Choose a more modern estate to buy, or just get a piece of land and build it yourself.

Yang Dongxu also has real estate in the UK, but the real estate in his hand is basically used to invest in high-end apartments, and the manor has not been purchased.

After all, even for a modern manor, the annual maintenance cost is absolutely surprisingly high, plus the various maids and other usage fees that the manor needs to be equipped with as standard, the income is actually not as good as some high-end apartments when used for investment.

Toy had his own estates in England and the United States, and he owned some extremely valuable things, such as jewelry and antiques, and he trusted the safes he built more than the bank safes.

Therefore, he had a large estate of more than 500 acres of land in England, which he bought from the government and built himself, in the suburbs of London, in a park, which was also one of the gathering places of the British rich.

Today, a small gathering is being held in this luxurious manor house surrounded by greenery, which is mainly white. Parties, the main form of leisure and entertainment for the British on weekends.

Especially for the rich and status aristocracy, or the people of the upper class. If no one invites you to a party on the weekend, you're basically knocked out of high society.

And if you can't invite someone of status to your party, it's a sign that you're basically out of the social circle in London.

In addition to some high-grade guests, there will be some models and celebrities to participate in entertainment banquets, while private banquets basically invite their friends.

Today's banquet belongs to the weekend, everyone gets together to brag about their feelings, and belongs to the nature of you holding it this week, and I will hold it next week, and everyone takes turns.

Therefore, the requirements for banquet guests are not as strict as those for private banquets, so in addition to some people with status, there are many small stars and models filled with both men and women.

Rich people's birthdays, or parties to celebrate other things, as well as this kind of party-like banquets held in private estates, are one of the channels for these male and female celebrities or models to find diamond kings or find gold owners to invest in themselves.

Often, as long as the host of the event releases the news, there will be many second- and third-rate stars and models who take the initiative to participate without spending money. Of course, if you want to ask some big names to increase your face, or if you want to have something to do with these people who come on their own initiative, you need to take money out of your own pocket.

Toy's banquet was semi-open, so in addition to the invited guests, there were many celebrities and models who came to make the whole banquet look very lively.

"Is there anything you like?" At the railing on the second floor of the manor, Toy leaned on the railing with a glass of red wine, and next to him Yang Dongxu held a glass of champagne, and the two of them chatted with each other, looking at the bustling men and women on the lawn in front of them.

Compared with the hustle and bustle on the lawn, the downstairs hall is more deserted, but the guests in the hall are also more noble, belonging to the kind of upper-class elite who are invited to come over to contact each other and talk about things before each other.

Those uninvited celebrities or models, even if they want to go to the toilet, will be asked about the maids who are guarding outside, and politely lead them around the hall to go to the toilet in the side room.

So at this time, among the people who are talking to each other on the lawn, there are many handsome men and beautiful women who look at the hall downstairs from time to time, if anyone walks out of the hall, whether it is a gluttonous old man or a young child, will be greatly welcomed.

In the face of Toy's ridicule, Yang Dongxu didn't speak, just smiled. Looking at the scenery in the distance, I don't know what to think.

"You're still as boring as ever. Toy pursed his lips, then muttered for a moment before speaking, "If you don't have to, it's best to keep some distance from Natasha." ”

Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows and looked at Toy with some puzzlement, this admonition is obviously not because Toy's family is currently not in good relationship with the Gute family, and even some hostile reasons.

She herself is very interested in the position of the future successor of the Gut family, and wants to be the empress of the Gut family. But her brother's ability, although not so outstanding, seems to be a little worse than her, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

More importantly, Lao Gut also seems to feel that it is more reliable to hand over her family business to her son than to her daughter, so she wants to take over the power in Lao Gut's hands, and she has a long way to go and makes more efforts. Thoy spoke.

"For example, who on behalf of the Gut family is helping to clean up the banking and financial markets?" asked Yang Dongxu.

"It's a thankless job, even if it's successful, it's affirmed by anyone on stage. But it will also offend many people, which will do more harm than good to her wanting to take over the Gut family. ”

"The job that Old Gut arranged for her?" Yang Dongxu asked.

Toy shrugged his shoulders without speaking.

"I haven't cooperated with her for many years, even if I find her as a middleman, I have to pay, and it has nothing to do with her family affairs and who is on stage. Yang Dongxu took a sip of champagne from his glass.

"That's because she hasn't looked for you yet. ”

"Huh?" Yang Dongxu frowned, looking at Toy in surprise and confusion.

"Russia's economy doesn't need me to tell you, you know, the banking and financial markets are simply a mess. Arrest some, or shoot some, at most to stop the circle.

But if you want the banks and financial markets to improve, you need to invest in it, after all, you can't just expect the central bank to print money to get by. That's not about making the industry better, it's about feeding poison to the industry.

In the long run, the banking sector may burst like the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Thoy clenched his left hand into a fist, then his fingers opened in an instant, making an explosive gesture.

"I'll admit that I'm a little bit of money and I've made some achievements over the years. But to save Russia's financial markets, are you overestimating me?" Yang Dongxu looked at Toy with some amusement.

"That's a big quagmire, and even if you trap a few big conglomerates in the United States and throw them together, you won't be able to fill it. Anyone on stage may have this luxury, but he knows it's just a dream. Natasha also knows her own weight, so no one would be so stupid to jump into it, but it can't be saved completely, but it's not impossible to make it better partially. ”

"For example?"

"For example, let's make some of the bank's business profitable, instead of a bunch of bad debts. Let some domestic tycoons have more confidence in the banking industry, instead of worrying all day long that their money in the bank will be confiscated for no reason. Toy said.

Yang Dongxu frowned, and vaguely seemed to have guessed something.

"Well, you're in trouble. ”

While he was still pondering Toy's words, a motorcade drove in, attracting the attention of many people on the lawn, Natasha stepped out of the open car door and glanced up at Yang Dongxu, who was talking to Toy on the balcony on the second floor.

Then walk into the hall without any stops and go straight to the second floor.

"I'll go down to greet the other guests first, and you can talk slowly. If you need it, there are a lot of comfortable bedrooms in the manor, and there are large and comfortable beds, and you can go to any one you want to go to, even if you go to my master bedroom. Toy shook the wine glass in his hand and patted Yang Dongxu's shoulder, with a smile on his face that all men understand.

These words did not shy away from Natasha, so Natasha who walked over frowned and saw that Toy's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. However, Toy chose to ignore her gaze and walked directly past her.

For this unwelcome guest, if you directly refuse the other party to enter, it is obviously equivalent to tearing your face. But now his uncle doesn't want to be an enemy of the Gut family, but he doesn't want to be an enemy, which doesn't mean that he has to greet him with a smile.

"I've been having some trouble lately. Toy left, Natasha put away her narrowed eyes, waved her hand to let the manor maid who was standing not far away ready to serve leave, walked in front of Yang Dongxu and spoke.

"You know there are some things I don't want to get involved in. Yang Dongxu put the champagne in his hand aside, left the balcony and walked into the house to sit down on the sofa.

"The share of some oil fields in the Middle East and the share of some minerals in Australia, or the African side. You can choose to take the deposit and develop it yourself, or you can take dividends from it every year. Natasha spoke.

Yang Dongxu's brows furrowed completely, and Natasha's conditions were undoubtedly very tempting. But it is precisely because it is so tempting that the price he needs to pay will undoubtedly be greater.

After being silent for a while, Yang Dongxu opened his mouth and asked, "What do I need to do?"

Although he knew that it might be a piece of poisonous cake, it was so tempting that he couldn't hold back the greed in his heart. Or rather, he felt that after swallowing this cake, it would not necessarily poison him, but rather a good meal.
