"Boss—"

"Let's take a look at this report first. ”

When Oliver, the head of the real estate investment management company, arrived in the office, Arthur handed him the report about the world's second-largest pearl.

After reading the report, Oliver looked at the newspaper about the natural pearl like a human brain, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, it's shocking!"

"Yes, 15 centimeters in diameter, such a big one, this is definitely a treasure of nature, so, I want to take a picture of it!" Arthur said with a smile as he took the newspaper Oliver handed back, looked at the photo of the pearl on it, and smiled.

As we all know, pearls, like other gemstones, are the rarer and more precious they are. The size of the pearl is expressed by its shortest diameter, and the diameter is greater than 7 mm to be called a large pearl, and the ancients said that "seven treasures and eight treasures" is "seven pearls, eight treasures", emphasizing the preciousness and rarity of large pearls.

In general, whether farmed or naturally generated, the larger the diameter, the higher the value. The price increases significantly for every 1 mm increase in the diameter of a pearl, especially when the diameter of the pearl exceeds 7 mm. For high-quality Nanyang beads, the price will increase by 30 to 50 percent for every 1 mm larger diameter of the same quality.

Oliver heard the boss's thoughts, thought about it slightly, understood what the boss meant when he called him over, and then said: "Boss, what is your psychological price, I will notify the people in Los Angeles and let them take pictures." ”

"Clever!" Arthur looked at Oliver with a smile on his face, nodded and praised, you know, his property, only this real estate investment management company because of the purchase of Nicolas Cage's Los Angeles mansion, set up a management office in Los Angeles, daily maintenance and care of the mansion, this is also Arthur's only foreign office currently under his umbrella, so Oliver can guess the purpose of Arthur telling him this at once.

"The pearl is estimated to be between $300,000 and $400,000. I love it, so, take a picture!"

As soon as Oliver heard Arthur say this, that is, there is no psychological price, and he must get it, he nodded with a serious expression and said: "I understand, boss, I will notify the Los Angeles side, and I will definitely take a picture of you." ”

"Hmm. Arthur nodded softly, then closed the newspaper, looked at Oliver and continued, "I heard the secretary say that you came to me before, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing important, just to report to you about the rental of the house. Oliver said.

"Well, I just want to hear about the occupancy rates of my houses. Arthur smiled and picked up his coffee, sipping it slowly.

"Boss, in addition to the villas and the penthouse luxury apartments that are being renovated, there are a total of 90 properties for rent, and the current occupancy rate has reached 90%. The first month's rent totalled £121,800. Oliver handed Arthur a document and introduced with a smile.

"So many?" Hearing this number, Arthur was a little surprised, don't look at it is 90 properties, but with the current average monthly rent of 900 pounds in London, the rent of 120,000 pounds is really very impressive.

Oliver seemed to have expected the boss's reaction, and explained with a smile: "Boss, you also know that London's high house prices are world-famous, if it is based on the lowest house price standard in London, 3 rooms in BR3 area are shared for 3 people, and it only costs 144 pounds per person per week, which is 576 pounds per month.

But, boss, the property you buy is in the London metropolitan area, and the average rent for a luxury apartment is around five hundred to six hundred pounds a week, or about two thousand to two thousand four hundred pounds a month.

And that's not counting the rents of those single-family houses, the price we give is a fair market price, so the occupancy rate will reach such a high level in such a short period of time, and we have also conducted a simple background screening on every tenant, not to mention that we can have a credit guarantee, at least, we don't have to worry about these tenants destroying the property. ”

After listening to these introductions, Arthur smiled with satisfaction: "Good job, in this way, even if the loan repayment is deducted, there should be a surplus, right?"

"At present, there are still 9 units that have not been rented out, and if all of them are rented out, there will be at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan of surplus per month. ”

"Hehe, it's already very good. Hearing this figure, Arthur was very happy, although for him now, twenty or thirty thousand pounds a month has long been out of sight, but this is completely different from the meaning of his other businesses.

With rent and loan, there can still be a surplus, which is not only a trickle of long-term income, but also a two-pronged transaction, how can it not make people happy.

"By the way, how have house prices risen in London lately?" asked Arthur with a happy smile.

"It's been going up, it's been going up, and there are two areas where house prices are up £100 per square metre. Oliver reported with a smile.

When Arthur heard the good news, he became even happier, and took out two cigars from the cigar box in the drawer, one of which was thrown to Oliver, who was busy catching it, and he took out the crystal ashtray and matches, and skillfully roasted the cigar, and then lit it himself, took a puff of the cigar, and threw the matchbox to Oliver.

"House prices in London will continue to rise. ”

Hearing the boss's assertion, Oliver also nodded deeply and said: "As long as the supply exceeds demand for a day, the price of housing in London will not stop rising for a day." ”

London has always been the centre of discussion in the UK property market, and its performance has had a huge and far-reaching impact on the UK property market as a whole. The long-term rapid rise in house prices in London is the driving force behind the overall rise in house prices in the UK.

The rationale behind the rise in house prices in London is that the supply chain of British property was dysfunctional during the subprime mortgage crisis, but the increasing population of the United Kingdom, especially new immigrants, has led to an imbalance between supply and demand in the real estate market. This is especially true in London.

As an international financial and political center, coupled with the fact that housing prices have not fallen in the past, it is recognized as a paradise for investment and a haven for capital, and such a unique geographical location is certainly attracting more and more demand for real estate investment.

In this case, a very common economic phenomenon has emerged and will continue to continue, that is, the market will constantly adjust in the direction of supply and demand balance. When the supply of new listings is low and the demand for homes is increasing, all that remains is to watch prices rise.

"Oliver, do you know anything about the Celestial Empire?" asked Arthur with a smile as he watched Oliver light his cigar.

"Huh, the Celestial Empire?" Oliver frowned slightly, then shook his head and said honestly: "Sorry boss, I don't know much about the Celestial Empire, limited to the Olympic Games in '08, a few great relics." Besides, I still know that the economic development of the Celestial Empire has been very rapid in recent years, and I don't know anything else... ”

Arthur nodded, not surprised by what Oliver said, this is already very good, in fact, most of the people in Europe and the United States have an intuitive understanding of the modern Celestial Empire through the 08 Olympic Games.

"After you go back, you can collect some information about the real estate of the Celestial Empire, especially the magic capital, I am going to set up a real estate investment company in the Celestial Empire to stock up on some high-quality real estate, according to the news I learned from my friend, in the next few years, the real estate of the Celestial Empire is promising!" Arthur exhaled a puff of smoke, narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"Demon Capital?" Oliver nodded with a deep groan, then looked at Arthur and said, "Okay, boss, after I go back, I will immediately arrange for someone to collect information from the Celestial Empire, do you want to recruit two Chinese employees who are familiar with the situation?"

"You can do this, when the time comes, I will set up a company in the Celestial Empire as my friend of the Celestial Empire, to avoid some restrictions, of course, my friend is a name, and the rest does not matter, you understand. Arthur looked at Oliver and smiled meaningfully.

"Understood!" Oliver said, nodding solemnly.
