Chapter 353: Sweeping the Tail
Since Federer said that it was very close, Chen Dahe didn't even eat, and the group drove directly to Graf Manor.
Turning around inside and out, Chen Dahe was very satisfied with this estate, a large group of two small and three white villas facing Lake Zurich, the orientation is also the most popular among the Chinese to sit north and face south, in front of the main building is a small pier, where a small two-story yacht and two speedboats are parked, and there is the logo of the Graf family.
Not far away are two annexes, which house servants and bodyguards, surrounded by a large manored landscaped garden, and further afield buildings can be seen from other manor houses.
Perhaps the only drawback is that there is a swimming pool missing, but outside is Lake Zurich, which has reached the first level of water quality, and it is a waste to jump in if you want to swim.
Everyone walked up to the lakeside observation deck next to the small pier, Chen Dahe lay on the recliner, the cool breeze blew, and he closed his eyes comfortably and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Enzo," Federer's narrowed eyes showed a hint of slyness, "how do you feel about this place? For three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, you can own this place, including three boats on the docks, and two luxury cars in the underground garage." ”
Chen Dahe also saw the two cars just now, just a BMW and a Mercedes-Benz, if it was a Bentley or Rolls-Royce, he might still be a little surprised, this kind of ordinary luxury car should forget it.
Federer dropped the price of the office building to $3.25 million, while Chen Dahe insisted on not backing down on the price of $3.1 million.
Chen Dahe opened his eyes and smiled lightly, "Mr. Federer, I'm hungry and don't want to bargain with you anymore, two things together, a price of three and a half million US dollars, okay, just sign the contract now, if not, I will go back to France tomorrow." ”
Federer had a bitter face, and he was quickly calculating in his heart, the reserve price of this manor is 280,000 US dollars, so the office building can be divided into 3.22 million, which is much higher than the 3.15 million required by the headquarters, and it can be done!
"Mr. Enzo, you're such a tough opponent," Federer sighed, "Well, at this price, we'll make a deal!"
Federer's heart was secretly cool, and James on the side was even more smiling, this business was closed, he could get at least 70,000 US dollars in rewards, and there was a chance to compete for the head of the European region, although the success rate was not necessarily high, but at least he could show his face in front of the boss of the headquarters, and the position of the president of the French branch was still very promising.
Chen Dahe stood up with a smile and held Federer's outstretched hand, "So, can I live here today?"
"Of course," Federer grinned, "I'll make arrangements for you right away, and make sure you can stay without a hitch, ah, Mr. Enzo, do you want to eat here for dinner today? I can get a chef from the Michelin-starred restaurant, although it's not three-star, but it's guaranteed to taste very good, and you don't need to pay for it, which is a little bit of Nelson's kindness to you." ”
"Then I'll be disrespectful," Chen Dahe was not polite, and nodded with a smile.
Federer immediately called someone to arrange a cook and prepare a purchase contract at the same time, at which point Chen Dahe spoke again.
"Mr. Federer," and then looked at James, "Mr. James, do you think I can get a real butler here?"
The two were stunned for a moment, first looked at each other, and then quickly separated, just when Federer was still thinking about how to refuse without hurting the face of the big patron, James had already taken care of it, "Mr. Enzo, to be honest, it's difficult, but I'll help you find a real butler, but the cost may be a little higher than that of ordinary aristocratic families." ”
Federer looked at him like an alien, this Oriental wanted a real butler, not the kind of quick thing he trained in a hotel university, which of those aristocratic butlers didn't have eyes on his forehead, who would be willing to degenerate to serve an Oriental?!
Chen Dahe shrugged, "Price is not a problem, the most important thing is to have true loyalty." ”
Even Bruis, a dilapidated nobleman, can support a butler, even if the price doubles, he will not be unable to afford it, as for ordinary servants, it doesn't cost much.
"You don't have to worry about this at all," James said with a smile, "those real housekeepers are passed down from generation to generation, loyalty has seeped into their blood and bone marrow, as long as the main family is still in the day, they will never betray, there are three housekeepers in my database that can be hired, any of them you can investigate from other sources to ensure that their origins are innocent, it is because the main family is bankrupt that there is no way out, come out to find a job." ”
Chen Dahe nodded, but he felt a little strange in his heart, "Mr. James, since they have served as nobles for so long, their income should not be low, and they usually live in the master's house, how can they become nowhere to go?"
"Mr. Enzo, don't you know," James' smile narrowed, and his face became serious, "I just said that loyalty has seeped into their blood, so when the lord's family is in trouble, they will all contribute the family property passed down from generation to help the lord's family get through the difficulties, and because of this, after most of the nobles go bankrupt, the butler will also go bankrupt." ”
"So that's the case," Chen Dahe suddenly thought, no wonder after the Blois family went bankrupt, the young Miss Maria could only go back to the countryside, but with such a high level of loyalty, could he still be loyal to the new master?
Seeing that Chen Dahe's face seemed to be a little wrong, James also understood what he was afraid of, and still looked at him very seriously and said, " Mr. Enzo, if you suspect that they are still worried about the old master and are not loyal enough to the new master, then there is no need for this at all, for example, many large aristocratic families will train multiple butlers at the same time in each generation, but in the end only one will be left, and the extra ones will be hired by some minor nobles, but as long as they become stewards, they will forget the original master and serve the new master wholeheartedly, and there is no precedent for betraying the new master for the sake of the old master. ”
Chen Dahe nodded, didn't say anything more, just smiled, "Then I'll wait for your good news." ”
"No problem," James' eyes smiled again, "I'll arrange it for you as soon as possible." ”
The efficiency of the Nielsen staff does not seem to be low, and as soon as the contract was signed, Chen Dahe wrote a Swiss bank check for $300,000 as a deposit, and the chef invited there had already arrived and started to prepare quickly.
On the rooftop terrace of the main villa, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
In the next few days, Chen Dahe began to sweep the tailgest, handle the delivery of the house, register the new company, give Sophie $8 million to pay her commission and subsequent acquisitions, and all the antiques received there were transferred to the warehouse in Zurich, and he also specially entrusted Nielsen to find a reputable security consulting company to take care of the security work here.
No matter how strong Oliver's ability is, it is impossible to build a trustworthy security company with a large number of personnel in a few days, and before this security company is established, it can only rely on outside forces.
