Chapter 185: London Real Estate
I spent a few leisurely days at Sinclair's estate, and in addition to business cooperation, every day was a "British life" on American soil, where everyone dressed up for horseback riding and chasing and hunting. After the visit of several members of the Brulin family, it added to the fire, and several nights in a row were either banquets or balls, a scene of luxury and colorful, singing and dancing, and staged a real luxury life of high society.
After playing for a few days, An Feng and Joanna said goodbye.
On the second day after returning to California, An Feng chatted his previous thoughts with Prime Minister Sanchi, who was far away in China and the United States.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, although his subordinates are a little ...... Less, but the courage is still there: "Do you want to donate some military equipment and play by yourself?" ”
An Feng corrected him: "Your Excellency, you are wrong, my main purpose is to enhance national defense strength, and then personal needs." I also believe that proper military training and the consumption of some ammunition can play a very good role in promoting the maintenance of peace and stability in the eastern Caribbean region. ”
Sanchi listened to what An Feng said, and responded: "If you are willing to donate for free, of course the government will not refuse, but on the issue of use, I don't quite understand what form you want to do." I'm just saying, if you're making too much noise, it's not appropriate. ”
Sanchi spoke carefully, because An Feng was now their financier and was expected to contribute millions of dollars a year, so he had to pay attention to his tone.
An Feng listened and promised: "Don't worry, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I'm just a simple gun enthusiast, I have an occasional addiction, and I will definitely use it in the military area, isn't the central part of St. Kitts Island uninhabited?" I think our country's army can train there. ”
Sanchi added: "But actual combat training requires some expenses......
An Feng said: "If I participate, I will bear it, okay?" ”
Sanchi smiled: "I'm really sorry, it's just that we are still in the development stage, and we have to be careful in everything." ”
An Feng said: "I believe that the country will definitely develop and grow. As long as the rich contribute a little more power, GDP will increase sooner or later, isn't it? ”
Sanchi said, "Yes, like you, sir." ”
After An Feng told him some details, he hung up the phone. If we talk about increasing GDP, it's really simple. Including his wealth, the per capita GDP reached 150,000 US dollars, easily surpassing Luxembourg and reaching the highest level in the world...... This proves that the inhabitants of this country are often rich!
According to An Feng's idea, they should buy some equipment from Russia or China, not only tanks, but also some personnel carriers and individual weapons. rockets and so on...... Buying these two countries, the pursuit is cost-effective, there is no war in this area, cheap and affordable occupy the first place.
After doing it, Anfeng should plan for tourism.
The original plan was to come to England and France for a luxury trip, but I stayed in Texas for almost ten days, and after returning to California, there were still a bunch of entertainment, and it was delayed until the middle of the month. Eventually, they revised the plan. There's no need to be as tired as last time and just go to the UK. Christmas and New Year together.
An Feng was relaxed, so he brought Joanna and his wallet, the visa or something has already become a floating cloud, after all, it is now a new passport, and Europe and the United States are visa-free.
Took off from New York and landed in London, England eight or nine hours later.
An Feng took Joanna's hand and walked out of the airport. He glanced up at the gray sky, then turned to look at her again: "Honey, we?" ”
Joanna knew what he was going to do: "It's up to you. ”
An Feng stopped the rental and just like last time, the destination was in Aston. The entrance of the Martin 4S store.
I feel sorry for myself and James Bond if I don't drive a British sports car in the UK!
It's a luxury getaway anyway. And a car is honestly not worth a lot of money, and if you have had enough fun, donate it, and donate it in Joanna's name to get a good reputation.
What's even more coincidental is that it was the same person who received them.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Long time no see, how are you doing lately? The sales greeted them with a smile, obviously remembering them vividly.
An Feng nodded: "Very good, Xie Lu Xie." We want to see the current car. ”
"Please feel free to visit, all models can be test-driven, and there are plenty of existing cars." The sales did not dare to slack off, and walked quickly in front to invite them to visit the model.
The last time he got a car in twenty minutes, the sales didn't doubt his purchasing power in the slightest.
An Feng walked around the store, nodded a white V12-Vantage with his fingers, and asked simply: "No need to test drive, just open a contract." ”
"Wait a minute!" The salesman invited them to sit down, he ran to prepare the contract, and the female assistant was happy to serve tea and pour water. After An Feng briefly browsed it, he signed his name on it and issued a check, which took less than fifteen minutes.
The salesman helped them put their luggage in the trunk and pulled the car door for the lady.
An Feng shook hands with him and said goodbye, got into the car and left in style, leaving a smile on his face.
This Vantage is better than the last Vanquish in terms of acceleration and top speed, but the price is cheaper, I don't understand the sales concept of British cars, maybe they sell it is the shape...... An Feng slapped himself in the face, Aston. Martin sells appearance, show funny, right? Isn't it all the same look!
The trip began with a stay at a hotel on the banks of the Thames, where the Royal Suite costs $10,000 a night and can be converted to a Mercedes-Benz S-Class for ten nights, and this time they expect to stay for more than a dozen nights. Of course, it won't be the same hotel, but you have to change your taste and try the style of other top hotels.
Anfeng's definition of vacation is: the most extravagant outfit, the most top enjoyment.
……
In the next few days, they kept visiting London, visiting scenic spots, or spending the whole afternoon in a daze, snuggling together to warm up and chat. Or, if you want to rejuvenate your body and mind in a group, the British Museum is obviously a good place to visit, and it can take days to visit.
Then An Feng and Joanna really spent days on the tour.
Driving a sports car around the city, tasting scenic spots, foreign food (yes), changing hotels three times, and then having a whim, instead of changing hotels frequently, it is better to find a fixed residence, which completely belongs to them. You can furnish it however you want, and there is also a parking lot.
An Feng put out the benefits: "It's not bad to buy a house, anyway, you are a local, and you will definitely come back often in the future, if you live in a hotel." Come twice a year, stay for ten days at a time, $10,000 a day, and you can buy a good apartment in the central area in five years, and you can use it for 999 years. ”
Joanna nodded: "That's not wrong with your algorithm." ”
An Feng turned over and looked at her: "Then let's look for it?" The condition is that the residence in the central area, the residence used for vacation, and the transportation advantage is the first choice! ”
Joanna agreed: "No problem. ”
London is famous for its high house prices, but it's also interesting that it doesn't matter what country you are. Citizens of any region who only need to pay a lump sum will sell it to you - because London is ideal for political asylum. But you want a loan or something, provided it's a citizenship or a visa.
An Feng is naturally not short of money, and there is an advantage in London, he can use his offshore company account...... This is said, after all, it is registered in the BVI, the British islands. In the UK, taxes are a headache for Americans. The British merchants only took the money.
Joanna is more familiar with London, and found a top real estate agent through the VIP service of Amex, which means that as long as you have an idea, they can provide a special car, a special person and a full range of thoughtful service, to ensure that customers only need to move money at their fingertips. They'll do everything else for you.
There was no need for a special car, An Feng drove a sports car to take Joanna for a ride. There is a wide range of options to choose from, with properties concentrated in the city centre and the Canary Wharf area being an emerging financial district. Recently, some Chinese tyrants have spent a lot of money to buy high-rise buildings, and the newspapers have been hotly discussed. An Feng went to take a few looks, it was okay, but it was not enough.
An Feng demanded: "You have to have a good scenery." ”
Joanna also said: "The view should be wide, the top floor duplex is the best, the ground floor is not, the middle position can be considered, the ventilation is good, and there should be plenty of privacy space, the residents are spaced wide, preferably top-of-the-line decoration, equipped with a hydromassage ......"
Now I know the difference between men and women.
But the agent said that there is no problem, as long as you have money - they can even handle the license plate, obviously Anfeng's sports car needs a serious GB (EU-UK) license plate.
It's easy to do anything if you have money, even if you are tired of driving to see the house, the agent will immediately arrange a luxury car transfer, and look for it after the last, aiming at the south bank of the Thames, a London landmark: around Tower Bridge, a high-rise apartment building, two bedrooms and a living room with a study. Due to the design of the glass curtain wall, there are no balconies, but there are all-round floor-to-ceiling windows that provide a wide view of the surrounding scenery.
With an area of more than 1,200 square feet, which translates to 120 square meters, the most exquisite design and decoration, using top brand furniture and appliances, everything is ready, buyers only need to carry their bags to move in, and it is also cheap, 1.8 million pounds - for Anfeng.
On average, it costs 15,000 pounds per square meter, which is equivalent to 150,000 yuan per square meter. The agent said that the average price is higher than it, and only villa-style mansions are left, and as an apartment, it is one of the best in London.
Then An Feng bought it.
Such a good location and scenery, don't buy sorry for yourself, it's more than 3 million US dollars, not to mention that it has room for appreciation, even if it depreciates, the amplitude will not be too big, after all, there are a lot of famous attractions around, at most 300 to buy in, 250 to sell to go, and it is not a loss.
The house is brand new, bought by a bad profiteer to stock up, and then pays high taxes - it costs a lot to buy a house in the UK, and there is a lot of money to flip a house, but it takes a lot of money. The agent also specially helped An Feng contact the housekeeping company to clean the room again.
After that, stay in the hotel for two more days and then move in.
Needless to say, An Feng is happy, Joanna is happy because she can buy a lot of clothes, bags, shoes, hats, jewelry, cosmetics, perfumes...... Put it here.
"Instead of throwing them all away like last time!" Joanna sued An Feng.
An Feng said innocently: "Still blame me?" ”
Joanna said, "That's what you have to do to be impressed." ”
"Will I buy you more bags?" An Feng picked it up with a smile.
"What a guts! How dare you! Joanna blushed as she thought about it. And he no longer used words, but deeds: pounced on him.
An Feng took the moving cat to the edge of the bed and sat down, hugged her on his lap, straightened out her loose hair, and asked, "Then I'll accompany you to sweep the street again?" ”
"Correct answer!" She smiled.
