Chapter Ninety-Three: Manor Crisis (2)
Mu Mu has been taking full charge of the London estate for almost a year, and in the six months leading up to the sale, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and everything is in line with the plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Huo Feng originally didn't think that the Huo Manor in London would be sold out quickly, according to the previous sales, half of it would be sold in the first year, and the rest would take at least two years to digest.
When Huo Feng made the feasibility report of the Shanghai real estate, he adopted a more conservative forecast than before, and as long as a quarter of the Huo estate in London was sold in the first year, it would not affect the cash flow of the Huo family.
There are a total of 26 villas in London's Huo Manor, which are freehold, and the smallest one is larger than Kensington Palace Garden 15A. But the geographical location of 15A is not comparable to Huo's Manor.
The average price of Huo's estate in London is £37 million, which is less than half of the 15A.
But people who can take out three or four hundred million yuan to buy a house at once are still rare.
The economic environment is not good, the marketing company is not strong enough, and Mu Mu's connections in London have not had time to expand, and all the reasons add up to bring huge challenges to Huo's capital chain.
Not counting the one Mu Jingyang bought himself, before the end of the year, the Huo Manor in London still needs to sell at least five buildings to solve the Huo family's urgent need.
…………………………
Huo Feng rented an apartment in the 21st Century Tower in Shanghai (why not buy it?). Rental of high-end hotel apartments are not for sale), but there is no rented office. Because it was a joint development, Chen Yi moved an office to Huo Feng in his own place.
According to Huo Feng's character, he would not like such an arrangement, but he couldn't stand Chen Yi's company on the fiftieth floor of IFC, just upstairs from their Zuozai company, and Huo Feng basically didn't stay in the office much.
Huo Feng often goes to the construction site, and from time to time he needs to go out to do errands, when he comes back from the outside, he often presses the elevator on the 50th floor and then presses 36, and then to the 36th floor, Huo Feng can't continue to go up, and goes directly out of the elevator to find the left.
Now Huo Feng is still shouldering the arduous task of not letting the foodie go hungry again, and the frequency of his appearance in the Shanghai branch of Windle has been high, and the front desk saw him coming, smiled and raised his head to say hello, and then directly bowed his head and continued to work.
The front desk already regarded Huo Feng as a supernumerary employee of Windle, Huo Feng was cold on his face, but he liked this feeling very much in his heart.
"Nuan Nuan, I may need to go to London recently." Huo Feng's expression was a little serious.
"Do you want to see Xin Ran?" Left to ask again.
"No, there are some sales problems with the project in London, and I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to fix it." Huo Feng and Zuo explained again.
Huo Feng basically didn't hide anything from Zuo Zai. He knew that Zuo Zai liked to say things directly, and Zuo Zai was not a woman in the "deep boudoir" who couldn't understand business, a flower in a greenhouse.
At the Windle branch in Shanghai, there are already nearly 100 employees in all positions, not including the sales staff of Windle stores.
Huo Feng often felt that Zuo Zai had extraordinary energy.
It is necessary to manage the company and be responsible for perfumery, and it is also able to do it with ease.
In fact, after the successful entry of the "Bamboo from the Window" special edition and the "Norwegian Sea" limited edition to the market, there are no limited editions to be launched for the time being, so Zuo Zai has more time to take care of the company.
The perfume room of Windle's Shanghai branch, in addition to Zuo Zai, now has eight perfumers. These people come from all over the world, and two are senior perfumers who have launched several critically acclaimed fragrances.
It's just that the taste imagination of the perfumer is usually direct, and he will not think of the taste after burning, which is just the opposite of Zuo Zai's. Therefore, after the senior perfumer has mixed up a very satisfactory taste, as soon as it burns, the final result is a little different from the taste he imagined.
Zuo Zai now went to the perfume room, mainly to help solve this problem. If it's perfume mixing or something, most of the people in the perfume room are much more experienced than Zuo Zai.
After getting along for half a year, Zuo Zai already knew that Huo Feng was doing real estate, Huo's had a manor for sale in London, and a real estate under development in Shanghai. She knew that Huo's London estate was now in charge of Mu Mu, and that Cheng Yan and Nathan's firm had undertaken the architecture and interior design of Huo's estate.
Nathan is a Hong Kong person, and Mu Mu is also a Hong Kong person, so they knew each other in the first place. Nathan resigned from the United States and came to London to start a business, not only because of Cheng Yan's invitation, but also because there was a ready-made project waiting for him in London.
Unlike Cheng Yan, who went around and around and went back to designing, Nathan has been working in the world's top architectural firms for more than ten years, and is currently the top Hong Kong designer in the industry.
So to be precise, the case of Huo's Manor has been approached by Nathan since he was in the United States. Mu Mu arranged the draft at that time, mainly because Huo wanted two different styles, while Nathan only liked to do retro design.
Even if Nathan didn't come to London to open an office, Mu Mu had already invited Nathan to take charge of the retro part. At that time, Nathan was still in his old company.
Originally, Mu Mu wanted to find another firm to take charge of the modern part.
When Nathan arrived in London, he planned to tell Mu Mu directly that his new partner was good at modern style. But Cheng Yan refused.
Cheng Yan feels that he has left the architectural design industry for so many years, and only through the comparison can he regain his feeling as soon as possible.
Therefore, after Cheng Yan won the competition, Mu Mu knew that he was Nathan's current partner.
Eventually, the two firms became one.
"And how long are you going?" Zuo asked Huo Feng again.
"I don't know yet, but hopefully it won't be too long, and there are still a lot of things to deal with here in Shanghai." Huo Feng's mood was a little heavy, in the final analysis, if he didn't develop Shanghai's real estate at the same time, Huo's would not be able to face the crisis of broken capital chain.
At this moment, Huo Feng should be glad that he was looking for Zuo Zai, not a girl with little knowledge as he originally imagined.
Love often happens for no reason, but the maintenance of love always requires some common language.
"Alright then, I'll wait for you to come back." Zuo Zai felt that if Huo Feng would come back soon, the problem should not be too serious.
"And what if I miss you?" Huo Feng was actually a little reluctant to part with Zuo at this time, after all, he had just reaped the beauty of his own.
"If you miss me, you will rush back in the starry night~" Zuo Zai replied in a naughty tone.
"What if I can't get back soon?" Huo Feng asked Zuo again.
Zuo Zai felt that Huo Feng's mood was a little low from Huo Feng's words just now.
"If you need me, I'll go to you." Left no longer superfluous language.
If Huo Feng can't come back for a while, then she will naturally have to pass. She didn't have to do something, just let Huo Feng know that she was there all along.
Huo Feng felt as if he had known Zuo Zai all his life, but it seemed as if he had just met.
The lively, quirky and empathetic girl in front of him surprised him, gave him warmth, and now comforted him.
In front of Zuo Zai, Huo Feng felt that he didn't need to hide any emotions at all.
