Thank you. ”

"Happy working together!"

In the conference room, Arthur smiled and shook hands with the credit manager of Barclays, and the subordinates behind the two were all smiling, happy that the two sides had reached a cooperation.

Barclays has a long-term revenue partner, while Arthur has a pool of funds that can borrow chickens and eggs, win-win!

Originally, Arthur wanted to contact several more banks to choose the best partner, however, after a sense of time arose, Arthur had to speed up his pace, and among all the banks he has been in contact with, Barclays Bank is indeed very sincere, and more importantly, it is strong enough to support his acquisition ambitions.

"Greetings to Mr. Bob Diamond on my behalf, and if it is convenient, I would like to meet with him to have a chat and communicate about more cooperation between the two sides in the future. ”

Before leaving, Arthur and the credit manager said that the huge amount of money needed for the future plans forced Arthur to communicate with the CEO of Barclays and get support.

Arthur's words made the other party slightly flustered at first, and then said with a smile: "I will definitely bring it, if you need anything, you can call me directly, we look forward to serving you at any time." ”

"Thank you. Arthur smiled and nodded to the other party, and then left Barclays Bank with no hesitation, taking with him two loans totaling 70 million pounds, of which 20 million pounds were loaned with his personal credit.

Once the funds are in place, the 100-unit apartment plan can be officially implemented.

After returning to the Financial City Starting Point Investment Company, Arthur first listened in detail to the next arrangements of Oliver, the person in charge of the real estate investment project.

"Boss, the deposit has been paid in full, and then we need to pay 10% of the total house price to the lawyer's trust account, and at the same time need the lawyer to exchange the purchase contract, you may need to sign 100 contracts, after the contract is signed, we get the real estate certificate and keys, and we can pay the balance of the total house payment. After that, we can start leasing to the outside world, get rent, and the company will officially start operation. ”

Since Arthur bought a second-hand house in addition to the existing house, there is no need to wait for the delivery time of the real estate developer, as long as the money is in place, the transaction can be completed.

"Hehe, two contracts, hundreds of houses, not hundreds of contracts, it seems that I am busy. Arthur, who was smiling, said, raised his hand and turned his wrist a few times, looking a little worried and tired.

Oliver chuckled, "Mostly it will take a lot of time, but I'll have the lawyers review all the contracts first, check them out, and then you can just sign them." ”

"Hmm. Arthur nodded softly, looked at Oliver and smiled and asked, "Is there any news from Nicolas Cage?"

Nicolas Cage will arrive in London on the 25th to promote the upcoming movie "Mystery Code", and he will take time to meet with you and sign the contract to complete the deal. ”

Oliver replied, "I've sent someone to the U.S. to inspect the mansion and prepare to take it." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, opened the video and handed it to Arthur, shaking his head with a strange look on his face.

"This is the video that came back, I have to say, the actor's taste is indeed a little different, and it is no wonder that no one cares about the price reduction again and again, this decoration style will indeed be prohibitive... ”

Arthur took the phone and looked at the picture being played, the castle architectural style of the whole mansion, Arthur still likes it very much, especially the exterior wall is covered with green vines like a castle in a fairy tale, the square at the entrance of the gate has a wide and magnificent circular driveway and a classical fountain, and on the right side of the courtyard there are two-story rooms independent of the mansion, and on the left side is an Olympic standard swimming pool and a private cinema.

However, when he saw the decoration in the mansion, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull a few times.

With a private wine cellar, a cinema, a games room, 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, this castle-style villa is the ultimate luxury residence in the Royal Palace.

But what the hell is the strange and weird 'college fraternity style'? There are at least 300 framed comic book covers on the walls, and in the two bedrooms and the breakfast room, there are toy model trains with tracks...

Seeing the strange expression on the boss's face, Oliver also smiled helplessly: "Although the actor's taste is a little weird, but this mansion is really worth the price, the mansion of more than 3,000 square meters is located at the end of Sunset Avenue in the west of Los Angeles, with a beautiful environment and green shade nearby." And away from the hustle and bustle, it will never be disturbed by idle people. ”

"Hmm. As a movie fan, Arthur naturally knows Nicolas Cage's unusual hobbies, likes to spend money on dinosaur skulls, skulls, haunted houses, raising octopuses, sharks, crocodiles, cobras, etc., by the way, and the pyramid tomb he bought for himself...

"After I bought it, I had people reorganize it and clean up the mess, but it was interesting to keep the toy model train that laid the tracks.

What about the price?"

Hearing the boss ask about the price, Oliver's cheeks twitched unnaturally a few times, no idols, fans' are worth the real dollars, "The total price of the two sets is 19 million US dollars, which is already the lowest price that the other party can accept, and if you talk about it, Nicolas Cage may choose to wait for a while and find a new buyer." ”

"That's it... Arthur squinted his eyes and groaned, nodded and said: "Then so be it, after all, it's my idol, I'm embarrassed to bargain too hard, everyone still has to meet, always leave a good impression on each other." ”

“。。。。。。 Oliver squeezed a sneer out of his face and remained silent, he really didn't know how to talk to his boss.

Looking at the back of Oliver leaving, the corners of Arthur's mouth curled slightly, smiled, took out his mobile phone that was adjusted to silent mode, checked the message, and saw the reply to the message from the dragon mother, without hesitation, he called back.

The phone was quickly picked up, and Arthur first asked about her audition in Hollywood, in fact, it can be expected that when she is not famous and unfamiliar with life, how can Emilia go well, and sure enough, the reality is also the same, she has stolen all the toiletries in the hotel and the tea bags in the hotel lobby, because she thinks she will definitely not come to Hollywood again.

In this regard, Arthur took a black line in his head, and stopped the nonsense she was preparing to do in a very serious tone.

“。。。 My dear, since there is no chance over there, go back to London as soon as possible, the influenza A is raging in the United States, I am worried about your safety, you must pay attention... “

Arthur said a good meal, so that the dragon mother who wanted to let go of himself dispelled the nonsense, for Arthur's concern, Emilia was also very useful, on the phone said that he missed him, it seems that the short separation, but let the emotions caused by the scandal disappear.

The two were tired of crooking for a while before ending the call, Arthur shook his head and smiled and put the phone aside, as he said before, affected by the economic crisis, many Hollywood studios are difficult to protect themselves, and the number of movies produced by Hollywood will shrink by one-third.

And it's not just Hollywood, but the global film capital is in turmoil, just like his cheap sister, who said that as long as she is given five million pounds, she can find a crew and make a movie, and film industry insiders are looking for money to invest everywhere.

Arthur won't take money to play in the water, let alone spend money to support Eddie, even Long Ma, he didn't think about spending money to support, he is not the kind of big tyrant who has many people who are stupid, and besides, in the film industry, Dute TM is black, and he doesn't know how to pay for death.

Thinking of these funny things, Arthur suddenly flashed a sentence in his mind that he remembered deeply in his previous life, that is, the worse the economy, the more people are willing to spend in the cinema for fun and calm the depression in their hearts.

I have to admit that the film industry can really make money, but thinking of the world where his previous life was full of superhero movies, Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and laugh again, but unfortunately not long ago, Disney bought Marvel for $4.24 billion, even if he has an idea, it's useless, besides, he doesn't have so much money.

Hey, there's no time to wait!
