Chapter 238: Corrected Free Chapter
At this Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini has definitely earned enough eyeballs, super powerful performance, advanced technology, can be called the strongest model in Lamborghini's history; It has its super expensive price and super rare quantity, which has become a topic of conversation among fans and news.
People can only say that the real trench is fierce, and they dare to invest 200 million euros in it, just to develop a supercar they like, the envy and jealousy of ordinary people, and the saliva and data arguments of fans can't stop. And in the eyes of professionals, these two hundred million euros are not wasted, and even worth it!
Although this money only made two cars, its engine and transmission technology have been absorbed by Lamborghini and even Audi - this is a technical wealth! Get ahead of your peers! In addition, in the technology of building electric models, Lamborghini has also been fully trained.
Their next electric model will inevitably absorb the current technology.
At least from the CEO's mouth, I have heard that Lamborghini intends to build an all-electric supercar - mass-produced.
It's no longer like now, you can't afford it, you can't buy it. This is a clear statement brought by Lamborghini after the auto show, as the boss, Meng Qian has long known that they are setting up a pure electric model, and soon, maybe a year or two, they will launch new models.
Satisfied, Meng Qian left Paris.
The women and children have all returned to the United States, but he still needs to go to England.
The major success of stem cell research and the inevitable victory of the Nobel Prize have been fermenting for a long time, and Meng Qian needs to come back to determine the path of commercialization next year.
Biopharmaceuticals still need time, but protocol treatments can already be made available to the public, and they can cure incurable diseases well. Replace aging, damaged tissue.
So at the moment, it will set up hospitals or cooperate with hospitals in other countries, just like MS. Provision of equipment and equipment, and charging for technical licensing.
It also means: Commercial use will require a lot of stem cells – and Chinese stem cell companies are ready for business around the world.
Then there is the influence of the industry, and Meng Qian himself has also won honors.
"The royal family's conferral on me?" Meng Qian asked.
"Yes, Mr. Meng." The assistant replied in the affirmative, "Because you have a Bahamian passport, the Bahamas is a member of the British Commonwealth." As a citizen of the Commonwealth, you can receive a Royal Honour and an official title of 'Knight'. ”
Meng Qian knew that this was an honor, but he shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't accept it." ”
"How do you want to reply, sir?" The assistant doesn't dictate his personal choices.
"I am grateful to the royal family for recognising my achievements and contributions. But I'm not interested. Meng Qian said that it was mainly out of low-key considerations, and he was now a dual citizen.
If he accepts the British royal family's award, although he has a long face, it is easy for people to find out that he is tired of nationality, and it will also cause unnecessary controversy.
So he had to refuse.
"Understood." Assistant understood.
Meng Qian is not interested in accepting this kind of aristocracy, honor and the like, although Sir is not a nobleman, but by extension, should he be a little pretentious?
The assistant also reminded him. He is a citizen of a member of the Commonwealth and has more conveniences than ordinary foreign tourists, such as children receiving education in the UK...... Of course, that's not what he wants, he can do it if he has money. He liked the estates where the rich, the aristocracy lived.
Blue sky, white clouds and green grass. There is an elaborate castle with beautiful sculptures, fountains, and horses galloping across the meadows. A black Rolls-Royce drove the stern-looking butler...... This kind of artistic life in film and television is wonderful.
So he wanted to buy a manor.
The idea had come to me a long time ago. It's a pity that I haven't waited for the right one.
There are many manors in England and they have a long history. What was used hundreds of years ago is now cheap, even cheap—three or five million pounds sterling, covering tens of acres, hundreds of acres; Beautiful view and enjoy the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It all looks good, right?
It's beautiful, but there's a trap behind the cheapness! These estates are antique, and many of them need to be renovated – and it costs a lot of money.
If you have money, you can't change it casually, because this kind of estate is a "heritage heritage", and even if you modify a brick, you need the approval of the British Heritage Department.
That's why historic estates are sold cheaply and cabbage prices.
The owner of the manor could no longer afford its high monthly maintenance costs, and could not renovate it casually, and no one was interested in selling it, so it had to go bankrupt.
But today, Meng Qian got information about the sale of two estates.
One is located in the middle of England, which is not a heritage building, and can be converted by the owner, and the price is in the early 15 million, but the property is only 125 years - there are many types of houses for sale in the UK, 99, 125 or even 999 years, and freehold.
The limited property rights discouraged Meng Qian's enthusiasm, he liked the indefinite ones, so he aimed at the second place: located in Buckinghamshire, just northwest of London, seventy kilometers away from London, the transportation is very convenient, the property rights are also permanent, and the manor was designed in the 70s.
It is said that it is designed by a well-known designer, coupled with the geographical location, Buckinghamshire can be called the backyard of London, and many political celebrities have settled in retirement; Another highlight is that it lives up to its name as a "manor" and has a huge plot of land of 45 acres in addition to its buildings.
So the asking price reached 50 million pounds, which is equivalent to 72 million US dollars.
Meng Qian decided to go and watch.
Buckinghamshire is a quiet place, with a population of less than half a million and a flat and open terrain; When he came, the weather was very good, the sun was shining, the green land was everywhere outside the window, and the cattle and sheep were scattered all over the place.
The 45-acre estate is set on a grassy hillside, surrounded by greenery and an artificial lake, with sculptures and stone pillars everywhere. The stone-paved private road brings a retro sense of history.
Meng Qian focuses on architecture, the two-storey stone house was built in the 70s of the last century, relative to the United Kingdom. A manor house that has been preserved for hundreds of years, it is still young and modern; It is also spacious, with 15 bedrooms, a ballroom, multiple living rooms, meeting rooms and dining rooms.
There is a labyrinth garden in the backyard of the house, which is equivalent to two full-size football fields, and the two-meter-high greenery is built into a "fence", and wildflowers and grass dot the labyrinth path, walking in it is like being in Alice's wonderland, which is very magical.
In the front yard of the house, there are shallow ponds tens of meters long, neatly trimmed English gardens, and U-shaped paved roads around the front yard, which perfectly outline the manor style; The remaining thirty or forty acres of green grassland were used by the owners of the manor to repair stables, raise horses, and raise them in herds.
Meng Qian was riding in a car to see other lands.
45 acres is huge enough for private use, turn around and come back, Meng Qian no longer has to be picky, although the price is very expensive, but it is better than the geographical advantage, unlimited property rights, and can sit on such a beautiful piece of land. In the future, if you come to take a vacation for two or three months, you can recuperate physically and mentally.
It's not too far from London, about an hour or more by car; There is a small town 10 kilometers away for daily necessities, and a small city 16 kilometers away; Transportation is definitely needed to travel, after all, manor = country, don't British aristocrats call themselves "countrymen"?
He bought it without even thinking about it, paying £50 million.
Meng Qian's pen has also become news in the local area, the transaction price is very high, the buyer is a super-rich, and some beautiful photos of the manor are pasted, and a news is written like this. It also led to the surprise that Meng Qian wanted to stay, and it spread the next day, and they called.
"What a beautiful house!"
"Actually, it's pretty good." Meng Qian shared more information with them, "However, I am considering replacing some furniture in the room, installing new ones, and renovating some circuits. ”
"It's up to you to arrange, when can we go in and stay?" Gong Hui cares about this.
"It's almost winter, it's going to be cold and snowy here." Meng Qian said, "Considering the time required for renovation, it may be able to be used before next summer." ”
"It's cool over there in the summer, I like it."
"Let's look forward to the day when we will see it." Meng Qian chatted with them for a while, and then dealt with the real estate agent, including the renovation behind.
Anything is very simple when you have money, and then Meng Qian also considered that such a manor, someone must manage it, the land is wasted in the open space, at least raise some horses, cattle and sheep, and decorate the scenery, right? The one who will manage the manor for him must be the steward.
