Chapter 322 A property worth over 100 million
Li Ang was indeed interested in the set of courtyard houses to the east of the Forbidden City in Beijing, which he occasionally mentioned in flowers, and he planned to buy it with all his might, if possible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
You must know that the price of this courtyard house is about 10 million yuan, which is almost all the liquidity that Li Ang can take out now, of course, he does not have any real estate, and this more than 10 million yuan is all his net worth now.
The reason why he made such a big decision was because after listening to the introduction of flowers, Li Ang immediately understood what this courtyard was. Ten years later, this is the courtyard house that is widely mentioned in the media and is worth more than 100 million yuan, and it is a scarce property with no price.
In his previous life, Li Ang also had a small asset, but he did not have the strength to covet such a courtyard house worth more than 100 million yuan, and the reason why he knew about this courtyard house was because of the media hype: this courtyard house was bought by the world newspaper tycoon Murdoch at a price of 10 million yuan at the end of 2004, with an average price of 40,000 yuan per square meter, which was also one of the two properties of the world's top three richest people in Beijing.
The reason why this courtyard house was widely mentioned in the Chinese media is because this courtyard house was later given by Murdoch to Wendi Zeng as compensation for the divorce after the boiling divorce case between Murdoch and his wife Wendi Zeng.
Li Ang was also idle and bored at that time, paying attention to gossip, for Zeng Wendi, a woman who really did not dare to compliment in the eyes of many Chinese, after Li Ang studied this woman with great interest, he also had to admit that this woman was very powerful, absolutely awesome!
***********
Zeng Wendi is a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, formerly known as Zeng Wenge. His father is from Dongguan and his mother is from Jinan. She also has two older sisters. Zeng Wendi, who is about 1.75 meters tall, is also the main player of the Xuzhou volleyball team. His father was the director of Xuzhou Construction Machinery Factory at that time, and the whole family moved to Guangzhou due to the transfer of his parents in the second half of Zeng Wendi's high school, and his father was transferred to Guangzhou People's Machinery Factory, so the family was relatively wealthy.
The first turning point that changed Zeng's fortune came in 1987. During this year, she met an American couple from California, Jakecherry and his wife. Mr. Cherry, who was 50 years old at the time, was working at the Guangzhou Machinery Factory, and Mrs. Cherry, 42, also came to China because of her husband's work. Wendi Tsang was able to get to know them because Mrs. Cherry had the leisure time to help her improve her English.
In 1988, with the help of the Cherry, Wendi Tsang obtained a student visa to go to the United States to study at California State University, Northridge, a community college. They even let her share a bedroom with their five-year-old daughter, and promised to fund her studies until she graduated.
Soon after, Cherry's wife discovered a provocative photo of Wendi Zeng taken by her husband in a hotel in Guangzhou. Not only that, Wendi Zeng and Cherry often go out together and don't return all night. Cherry's wife asked Wendy Tsang to move out because she thought they were in an abnormal relationship, but soon after, Cherry left home and moved into a nearby apartment to live with Wendi Tsang, after which the Cherry couple announced their divorce. In 1990, Cherry married Wendi Zeng, when Cherry was 53 years old and Wendi Zeng was 21 years old.
Cherry and Zeng Wendi's marriage lasted for two years and seven months, only 7 months more than the two years that Zeng Wendi obtained a green card in accordance with the law, but they were really together for less than 5 months, because 4 months after the marriage, Cherry found out that Zeng Wendi actually had a boyfriend, and the two separated.
Wendi Tsang's boyfriend is named David Wolf, and the two have been living together since she divorced her first husband. Zeng Wendi once called Wolf her "husband", but they were never married.
When Wendi Zeng was at California State University, his roommate happened to be Cheng Yongyan, the wife of the gymnastics prince Li Ning, and Zeng and her boyfriend Wolf were able to work for a gymnastics academy run by Li Ning near the school. Because Wendi Tsang often acted as a translator for businessmen and officials from China, she built up a large network of contacts.
In 1993, Wendi Zeng graduated from California State University and transferred to Yale University, where tuition was very expensive and her boyfriend Wolf sponsored her. In 1995, Wolf moved to Beijing to work and settle there, and Zeng's relationship with him ended.
Yale University requires its students to have real-world work experience, so Mr. Tsang prepares to try his luck in Hong Kong, where he happens to sit next to Brucechurchill, the director of News Corp., who is preparing to leave for the city to serve as deputy executive of Starv. After the plane landed, Churchill offered him a position as an intern in Hong Kong.
The key turning point came in 1997, when Wendi Zeng learned that the company would hold a high-level banquet, and she herself was not invited because her position was too low, but after learning that the company's president, Murdoch, would also attend, she inquired about the address of the venue and went directly to meet Murdoch and introduce herself. In 1998, Zeng Wendi went to London for work, and when he had a meeting with Murdoch, he was invited to stay by him, and began to develop a relationship between the two. Soon the relationship between the two became public.
Shortly thereafter, Murdoch separated from his second wife, Anna, and in 1999 announced their divorce, ending their 31-year marriage and expelling him from the group's board of directors. Just 17 days after the divorce, Murdoch married Wendi Zeng, who was 38 years older than her.
In this way, this ordinary Chinese woman became the wife of Murdoch, who was once the richest man in the world, and this woman is long-sleeved and good at dancing, and has a lot to do with many world celebrities and dignitaries, even British Prime Minister Tony Blair is said to have an ambiguous relationship with her.
At that time, Li Ang once sighed that this woman can be said to have stepped on the shoulders of men all the way, for her own future, she is decisive, she definitely does not drag mud and water, and her eyes are vicious, this woman is not simple.
***********
It was precisely because he paid attention to the gossip about the divorce case between Zeng Wendi and Murdoch at that time, he was deeply impressed by this set of courtyard houses east of the Forbidden City in Beijing, with Zeng Wendi's shrewd vision, it was reported that she took the initiative to ask for this set of courtyards, which shows the value of this set of properties, and sure enough, someone later bid 150 million to buy this courtyard, Zeng Wendi did not nod.
Now the investment of 10 million, ten years later, worth more than 100 million, this investment can be said to be quite safe, Li Ang had long forgotten about this before, now that he has encountered it, if possible, he naturally wants to intervene.
According to the information provided by the flowers, the owner is now selling the house, which means that the world newspaper tycoon has not yet taken over this quadrangle, so what he has to do is to make a decisive move.
At the present in 2004, the investment boom of the courtyard has not yet risen, at this time he still has the opportunity to make a move, and in a few years, even if there is a courtyard to be sold, Li Ang can not squeeze in, at that time it is not a matter of money, there is no certain network and relationship and status, you want to buy it can not be bought, at that time the courtyard has been speculated to a sky-high price, but also the back garden of those princes and super-rich, ordinary people have money and don't want to get involved.
Not to mention the huge potential for the appreciation of this set of courtyards, not to mention anything else, when we return to China in the future and arrive in the capital, we also have a set of courtyards next to the Forbidden City, which is very strong.
It also retains its value, has great potential for appreciation, and is very face-saving, this investment can be said to be quite perfect!
