138 Surprises from the Fitzwilliam family
"BOSS, this is about the renovation plan of the Wentworth-Fitzwilliam Mansion. On this day, Adam took someone to Li Feng's hotel room and gave Li Feng a document.
It turned out to be Li Feng's latest acquisition of the mansion repair, as well as future planning, after the completion of the acquisition of this mansion, including the surrounding land, all the acquisition, and then restore the surrounding 180 acres of private garden plan, the garden will become a peacock garden, well, this is Li Feng's idea again.
It is expected that the price of acquiring the surrounding land will be around 6 million to 10 million pounds, which was previously a mining area, resulting in a relatively low land price, but if construction begins, including the renovation of luxury homes, surrounding land, development of hilly areas, etc., the total will be around 80 million pounds.
It will build a top hilly farm and pasture estate of more than 15,000 acres, and operate it into a high-tech, low-carbon and environmentally friendly farm and ranch park integrating agriculture, leisure tourism and hotel.
Yes, Li Feng naturally wouldn't want to live in this manor by himself, it was really unnecessary, mainly because it was too remote. However, after being converted into a hotel, there will be a luxury private residence suite of 6 rooms and 1200 square meters.
"Then we have invested in real estate companies in the UK, and the construction units have been chosen. Li Feng replied with a smile.
"Of course, BOSS, you also know that we have been working very happily with our friends from China, and the Chinese construction company has once again taken on the repair and construction tasks, and we have saved a lot of money for this.
As you know, labor in the UK is a bit expensive. Adam replied jokingly.
"Haha, I like that. Li Feng then laughed and replied.
……
Indeed, since the beginning of the real estate company, thinking of the high cost of the US imperialist and British real estate companies, Li Feng has worked closely with the China State Construction Corporation, which is the leading national brand, since he contacted China.
I have to say that this move is the right move, for this reason, Li Feng real estate company saved a lot of labor costs at the beginning of the beginning, which is also one of the reasons for the rapid development of real estate companies.
Naturally, it has also opened up a lot of business for the construction company overseas, which can be said to be mutually beneficial. This time, too, Li Feng's real estate business developed to London, and naturally, the business of the construction company was also developed to the United Kingdom.
For the relationship between the two countries, Li Feng carefully guarded the bottom line, for example, in the Blackwater Company, China would never be able to participate in it, and the game between the two countries and media reports or something, and he also tried his best to achieve fair and just reporting, etc., but no one could catch the sore foot.
Nowadays, with the help of politicians and people close to him, there have been no incidents such as the US imperialist government's special targeting.
Before, Li Feng was still a little worried, after all, he had a close relationship with the Chinese government before, but it seemed that there was no special trouble in the end, which made Li Feng feel at ease.
"Okay, then follow this plan, by the way, when the Fitzwilliam family comes to London, you will come with me to meet them. After flipping through the documents, the overall situation was not bad, Li Feng said to Adam with a smile.
"OK, I understand, wait for your call. ”
After some exchanges, I have a certain understanding of the layout of my real estate company in the UK, and I am also relieved.
……
On the morning of June 13, Li Feng received a call from Prince Charles, knowing that the Fitzwilliam family arrived yesterday and would be able to arrange a meeting today. For this, Li Feng naturally expressed his gratitude.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Feng arrived at Windsor Castle with the convoy and met Prince Charles, and similarly, in the living room of Windsor Castle, Li Feng met the current ruler of Fitzwilliam - Baron David Fitzwilliam.
Yes, although the family does not have a prominent earl, but fortunately, there is a barony, which also makes him the current head of the family.
"David, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm St. John Lee. Looking at the respectful face in front of him and seeing off Prince Charles and the others, Li Feng couldn't help but greet with a smile.
"St. John Lee, it seems that Mr. Li should have Chinese ancestry. After listening to Li Feng's words, the English baron replied to bowing his head in front of Prince Charles, and said to Li Feng seriously.
"That's right, I don't know if Mr. Baron knows, it's that the former Wentworth-Woodhouse Mansion has been acquired by me, and I think that as a descendant of the Fitzwilliam family, you don't want the ancestor's mansion to be so dilapidated.
This time I bought it, but I found that there was a large area of abandoned coal mines and land around the mansion, and although it was of little use, I didn't like my estate surrounded by other people.
Therefore, I asked Prince Charles to help me contact Mr. Baron, and I wanted to buy the 15,000 acres of land in the name of the Baron's family, so that I could completely change the environment around the mansion and renovate the mansion, otherwise it would be a pity. ”
……
The baron in front of him heard that Li Feng had Chinese ancestry, although he didn't say it, but judging from his performance, he was still a little arrogant, so Li Feng didn't talk nonsense with him anymore and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Li, this land has been passed down by our family for generations, in fact, the family does not want to sell, but I heard that Mr. Li is very interested in cultural relics and artworks, and our Fitzwilliam family has a long heritage, and there are many precious artworks from all over the world, I don't know if Mr. Li is interested. ”
Well, Li Feng was speechless for a moment, looking at the meaning of this declining baron, this is hoping that Li Feng will directly buy the artwork, and then let the land become an excuse to blackmail.
"Okay, Mr. Baron, I think you should have a list of records, can I take a look?" Li Feng replied speechlessly.
This time it saved Li Feng a lot of trouble, and it just so happened that whether it was art or land, Li Feng wanted to get it.
It was such a coincidence that Li Feng took over the list, and then handed it to Zhou Jiana on the side, and naturally the art appraisal and valuation team led by Zhou Jiana calculated it.
……
"Oh my God, there are Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts, Michelangelo's sculptures, Picasso's famous paintings, manuscripts. Just as Li Feng was chatting with the baron, suddenly the masters of art who were checking the list next to him exclaimed.
I have to say that these ancient aristocrats really can't be underestimated, this time there are a number of ancient hardcover books, there are ancient Roman carved marble, as well as a group of portraits of famous British painting masters Reynolds and Gensborough.
The most important thing is that there are two works by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who are at the pinnacle of European and American art, 1 manuscript by Leonardo da Vinci and a sculpture by Michelangelo, as well as 2 paintings by Picasso and 11 drawings.
Although it may not be those world-famous works, these are the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Picasso, these masters are simply synonymous with European and American artists.
Isn't it not surprising that the two masters, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, were both before the 17th century, and after the 17th century was the heyday of the Wentworth and Fitzwilliam families, who served two British prime ministers, etc., it is not surprising that there are their works.
……
"Mr. Baron, though I don't know what's on the list, it's clear that my Master Appraisers can't wait.
So, I think your family's works have all been shipped to London, and if they do, we can send someone to authenticate them, and as long as they are genuine, I think I will be very interested in making a deal with you. ”
"Of course, it's all in the vault of the Bank of England, and I think we can trade at any time. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Jiana came over with two hired art appraisers and appraisers.
