Chapter 230: Mid-June

While asking the real estate agency to issue a full report, Han Chudong also dialed out a satellite phone and entrusted Assistant Arthur Jonas to help investigate the city hall to see if there was any possibility of the land being used by himself.

The land area is too big, so big that Han Chudong's heart is excited, and there is a small natural lake on the mountain, which is suitable for building houses next to it.

Now it's bare, mostly bare rocks in the wasteland, and there are some garbage everywhere, but as long as the renovation is completed, it should be a very good place to live, and the location and reputation are the top.

As for transporting building materials, he didn't think there was a need to worry too much, just use a small car or a transport helicopter to transport them, and then build a road on a hillside with their backs to downtown Los Angeles.

Becoming one of the super-rich, Han Chudong began to think like a rich man, as long as he wanted to do something, there were always more ways than difficulties.

Anyway, he only needs to build a main building, plus the so-called nanny building, annex building, etc., and he shouldn't need to worry too much about transportation.

The real estate developers who had the idea of this land before considered the problem from the perspective of overall development, and naturally encountered many obstacles.

He's different.

Han Chudong only needs to get the approval of a small piece of land, and the rest of the land is used to plant grass and trees, which is easy to deal with and very beneficial to the surrounding residents.

As for the huge investment, the house cannot be built overnight, and the investment cycle may be as long as two or three years, on the basis of long-term benefits, this problem is not in his scope of consideration at all, not to mention that the expenses can be used for legal tax deductions.

He's been to several parties, and he's got some friends at the town hall......

I made a plan in my heart.

That large piece of wasteland can be used for many things, such as building your own golf club, which can also be considered part of the city's greenery, and it is easy to get approval.

But Han Chudong didn't say his thoughts in front of real estate agents.

It wasn't until he was on the way home that he told his father what he thought, which made Han Yigun very happy, and replied: "A standard eighteen-hole course, with an area of about sixty or seventy hectares, such a large piece of land must be enough, and the scenery and location are also very good!

Han Chudong didn't plan to live with them, but this kind of thing is not easy to talk about, the planning of the annex building is for the family, if you are neighbors, it should be good.

"Okay, anyway, my mom quit her job, and if we come to live here, it will also allow my grandparents to close the dry goods store and save me a lot of trouble. If I want to do business, I'll find a shop around Beverly Hills, and I can sell anything. ”

chatted all the way, and in the evening Han Chudong went to live in Mochizuki Xizi's small apartment, and he was sent home by the driver.

Extremely efficient.

The next day, Han Chudong took the ownership of the land from the owner of the land through a real estate brokerage company.

It was only a right of use, but according to the nineteenth-century contract, the lease could be renewed indefinitely at a low price as long as the rent could be paid, and this time the lease was about to expire, and the contract was signed in 1876.

If you have a complete land right, it is not something that can be won for more than five million dollars, and people will rush to buy it if it is ten times more, because the landowner can build a house on it almost as much as he wants.

Two days later, when the weekend holiday was over, Han Chudong personally went to the city hall to ask the mayor for help.

First, as a tenant, he renewed the lease for 100 years, and then applied for a piece of construction land planned by the lake to purchase the complete land right, with a total area of more than 18,000 square meters.

In addition, it is necessary to buy a piece of land for the construction of a clubhouse for the golf club, which is also as high as more than 18,000 square meters.

A rough calculation of the price will cost you about $14 million, plus taxes and fees.

However, the current mayor is about to end his term, and Han Chudong said that he is willing to hire him as a consultant in his company, so the approval of the golf course and the approval of the construction land should not be much of a problem.

At least after receiving the hint, the other party immediately called the people under him to help measure the land, and persuaded him that it was a good land, and he could rent it for two or three hundred years more while the price was low.

This kind of shady transaction is so common that it is difficult to talk about it in detail.

Anyway, within a few days, all kinds of formalities were completed, and it was really simple for a super-rich man to do this kind of thing.

So Han Chudong hired an architectural design firm, asked them to go on a field trip, and then built the land according to their own ideas.

Including taxes and fees, a total of more than $20 million has been paid to the city hall before construction has begun, in exchange for the right to use it for 300 years, as well as the complete property rights of two pieces of land, which will be temporarily attached to the name of the Mason United Group, and then find a way to transfer it to his own name later......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Rainbow Beauty Company has expanded wildly and advertised wildly, in exchange for a short-term surge in performance, with an average daily turnover of more than $5.6 million, as many as 80 stores, and branches in London, Paris and other European cities, and counting.

In mid-June, there are only more than ten days left before the launch of other brands of facial mask products.

You can already see Procter & Gamble's warm-up commercials, as well as posters put up at L'OrΓ©al's counters, and there are still ex-boyfriend mask commercials shot by Miss Helena Bergman on TV shows.

In this case, lipsticks, toners, lotion essences, and a lower-priced mask product quietly appeared on the shelves of various rainbow beauty counters, and officially went on sale.

It is worth mentioning that the shareholders of Christine Dior's company finally overwhelmingly rejected Han Chudong's acquisition or financing agreement and did not want to talk about it at all.

And that's okay.

The French YSL brand is very interested in his olive branch, and Han Chudong's subordinates told him that they have begun to formally talk about the amount of financing.

Gucci and Hermès have a lot of money and have begun to expand in the US market, with new product launches still planned, and recently began to advertise in American fashion magazines to show off their brand heritage.

On the 14th of June.

Helena invited him to her graduation ceremony, but Han Chudong couldn't find time.

Because he wants to meet with Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun to meet the owner of a small film company to discuss the acquisition, he also wants to go to the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel to attend the fashion night party held by Gucci, and there is a company called Ben Animation, which has taken a fancy to the film and television rights of "Super Racing" and wants to cooperate with him to develop cartoons, and is ready to talk carefully in person.

A bunch of things collided together, and I was so busy that I couldn't get out.

In mid-June, various rating agencies once again raised the valuation of Rainbow Beauty, which generally reached $1 billion.

As the sole shareholder, Han Chudong has completely confirmed the title of "the richest Chinese in North America", but there is also negative news, and these rating agencies have also issued risk warnings, saying that in the face of the upcoming three giants, it is likely to lead to a sharp decline in performance.

What's more, momentum could be curbed, affecting valuations going forward......
