After getting in the car and leaving Beverly Park, Concubine Yue asked:

"What do you think of these two houses? Don't say you're not satisfied, I finally helped you get the purchase qualification. ”

"Don't worry, your intermediary fee will definitely not be able to run."

"Didn't I get the agency fee to invest in our winery agency?"

At this moment, Xiao Yifei's phone rang. Jensen received Xiao Yifei's share change here and called to find out.

"Mr. Shaw, when can you come to New York, we have a board meeting recently?"

"Oh, you got the news of my shareholding, right?"

"yes, I don't know what you think of our company?"

The United States has done a better job of protecting the interests of shareholders, and today you can see in the news that a certain director criticizes the company's managers for being too radical or too passive, etc., and if you carefully look at their shareholding ratio, you will find that they are not the largest shareholders, but the opinions of the directors at the bottom of the rankings cannot be ignored by the company's management.

"No, I think you're managing it well, it's just that I have a business here that I want to talk to you about."

"What kind of business?"

"Why don't you come to Los Angeles for an interview?"

Jensen couldn't figure out which play Xiao Yifei planned to sing, so he could only agree:

"Okay, I'll go book a plane right away."

When she returned to 704, Concubine Yue asked Xiao Yifei again which set he liked.

"Of course it's the 34th."

Although No. 40 is a gorgeous palace, although it has just been repaired for more than a year, although the price has fallen by more than 3% compared with the first sale, it is not suitable for Xiao Yifei to live in now, anyway, as long as a house is a neighbor of Lei Shidong, then of course he chooses the cheap No. 34.

Although buying No. 40 Concubine Yue gets more commissions. However, everything is subject to the customer's choice:

"So what do you think we can offer?"

"The listing is a quotation of 14.9 million, Concubine Yue, how much do you think I should quote?"

"I think this kind of house should still be more sought-after. Now it's up to you to see if you really want to buy this house? ”

Indeed, many large houses in the middle of the mountain and even under the mountain are only more than 10 million. The size of the plot and the size of the house price are similar to this set. For example, David Beckham's big house at 1105 Sanysidro Drive. The entire plot is also 1.2 acres, with a construction area of almost 1,067 square meters, and the ancillary facilities are only swimming pools. , but the Beckhams bought the house for 18.2 million in June 07. Therefore, in this comparison, this No. 34 is indeed very cost-effective now.

And there is another downside to the Beckham house. You may have also seen from the news that in 2013, Beckham was in a car accident with his son in front of his home. In addition, he once took his son to go abroad in a car accident, so some people said that his son and he were nemesis. Some say Beckham is speeding. In fact, this car accident really has nothing to do with nemesis, speeding, etc., but has something to do with this house.

Although the suite was located on Rue de Santosto, he was not located on the side of the road, but at the back of a row of mansions on the side of the road, and although it was much quieter, he had to enter and exit through a narrow passage between No. 1107 and No. 1103 to drive the car into his own house and park on the parking pad next to the house.

The passage is at right angles to Calvia Santos and is less than 5 meters wide. In order to protect the *s of 1107 and 1103, they planted a row of tree walls along the passageway. Although this protected them, Beckham's driving in and out of the car was extremely limited, and he could not see the traffic on the road in Santo Dosto. Good to die but not to die. The Santostose road has made another turn here, and it happens to be uphill again, and the gradient is not small, reaching 6%, whether it is uphill or downhill vehicles, such as the speed is not too slow. So Beckham, who had just come out of the passage and had just seen the road surface, was prone to a car accident.

As you can see from the photos at the time of the crash, Beckham's Range Rover was just out of the aisle, and he may have been a little bit fast at the time, but it should definitely not reach the speedy 25 mph. At that time, there happened to be an Acura coming from the curve ramp. I spotted a Range Rover with its front perpendicular to the main road and hurriedly hit the steering wheel. But it was too late. As a result, Acura's right front bumper and fender slammed into the front of the Range Rover from the side, knocking the Range Rover's bumper off the body.

I really don't know how David Beckham chose this house. It is said that it was selected after looking at more than 30 luxury houses.

There are two mistakes made by the domestic media when reporting on Beckham's house, one is that the house does not have a tennis court, and the second is that he is not Tom Cruise's neighbor.

Tom Cruise also lives on the hillside north of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills, but Tom Cruise's house is located at Callevista 1115, which is more than 1 kilometer away from Beckham's house.

If the 34th is compared to Tom Cruise's residence, then it is more cost-effective.

The actual plot of Tom Cruise's house is also only 1.2 acres, and the area of the house is 995 square meters. It's just that he has an extra basketball court, but the pool and lawn are smaller. What's more, this house was bought by him for 35 million in 07. In this comparison, the difference in cost performance between the two is too obvious.

What's more, none of these houses are in a closed community, and there are no security conditions as strict as Beverly Park that allow idlers to enter, so that the paparazzi can come and block your door. And if you live on the 34th, even if the TV station or the capable paparazzi want to shoot from the air, it won't work, because the sky over Beverly Park is a no-fly zone.

Beverly Park has such good conditions, I believe that if there were Beverly Park houses for sale at that time, these two or other celebrities would definitely be willing to spend about the same amount of money to buy a house here, rather than buying a house on the mountainside, which is very beneficial to protect their * and maintain their own image, and if they have something to do with their neighbors who are not rich or expensive, the natural benefits will be even more.

"I'd love to take this house."

"Then I guess you won't be able to cut it down."

"That's 1.5 million less?"

"Okay, let's try."

So Concubine Yue was familiar with it, and she drew up a quotation. After thinking about it, she said:

"I think you still have to try to quote a price for the 40th."

"Why?"

"First of all, declare. I'm not thinking about my own commission. I guess what if the 34th was snatched away? ”

Xiao Yifei thought about it, it was true, he knew that there were so many favorable conditions in Beverly Park. Then others must also know, in case someone robs him. Moreover, the purpose of his purchase in Beverly Park was to get close to Lei Shidong. Let yourself get more A shares. In case the 34th is snatched away, the 40th becomes his own backup plan.

It is said that No. 40 was 50 million a year ago, and now it is only 35 million, if the price can be lower, such a new house, it is not a loss to buy it yourself. After all, the vacant land in Beverly Park sells for $10 million, and that's about the same amount when you add in the money spent on design, construction and renovation.

"What do you think is the minimum that a homeowner can sell?"

"I think it's about 30 million."

Xiao Yifei calculated his existing funds in his heart. Funds that were already close to drying up. Because of selling gold and speculating in gold, it actually jumped to the 100 million yuan mark. There are only a few places to spend money, nearly 20 million A shares, more than 10 million yuan to buy a new 80-acre vineyard, and nothing else seems to be there, if the 34th is robbed, there is money to buy it.

"Okay, let's quote 25 million."

Xiao Yifei's knife is ruthless enough, the price is 3500, and the counteroffer is 2500. Cut off nearly 3 percent directly. If compared with the previous purchase price of 50 million, this will directly cost the previous owner half of the loss. This accountant is too pitiful, and he has to lose 25 million yuan after only living in one year.

This price suppressed Concubine Yue. She almost choked on coffee:

"Boss Xiao, you're too ruthless, he won't do it. If the price of this kind of luxury house is too small, he will definitely prefer to keep it for a few years and wait for the house price to recover before selling. ”

"It doesn't matter, my first target is not it, if he doesn't want to sell it, forget it."

Seeing Xiao Yifei's indifferent attitude, Concubine Yue could only shrug her shoulders:

"Well, you have the final say."

Muttering that another quote came out.

The next step is to wait for the SFC to approve the stock trade. Waiting for the registration procedures of the winery's acquisition consultation center, and waiting for the reply of the two landlords to Xiao Yifei's offer.

In the afternoon, Concubine Yue received a call from Mauricio, the seller's agent at 34 and 40 Beverly Park. He wanted Xiao Yifei to raise the offer for both houses.

Concubine Yue can't be specialized, so she can only come to discuss with Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei is not familiar with the transaction of buying and selling houses here. I can only learn from Concubine Yue:

"What do you think is the situation of this increase in quotes, is it that if we don't raise the quotes, we won't trade with us?"

"The seller asks for a higher offer is generally because there are other people who have a high offer, and you are in the second priority of buying a house, and in order to strive for the greatest benefit, the seller will ask you to increase the offer to see if your offer can exceed the original first place."

I'll go, it's the equivalent of a blind auction, and this kind of auction is very unfair to buyers. It is believed that if the original second auction increases the price to the first, the buyer will definitely want the original first to continue to increase the price, thus forming a cycle and finally selling the house at the highest price.

"So do you think we need to raise the offer now?"

"We have to judge that there are no other buyers for this house right now before we can decide."

"It's been on the market for a few months, and I don't think there should be any other buyers."

That is, the quotation is just near the price in the owner's heart, so it is uncomfortable for him to sell and feel sorry not to sell. So he wants us to raise the offer and make him feel better. ”

"Do you want to raise it?"

"I can't help you make this decision, but I can only remind you that increasing means that you have to pay more, and if you don't increase, there is a risk that the other party will cancel the transaction."

This is equivalent to not saying it. After careful consideration, Xiao Yifei raised the offer of No. 34 to 13.9 million, and for No. 40, he also felt that 2500 seemed too ruthless, so he increased it by 1 million.

Not long after the two new quotations were sent, Xiao Yifei actually received a call directly from the owner of No. 40, that is, the accountant Jeffbazyler, in which Jeff asked Xiao Yifei to increase the quotation again, and said that he would leave a lot of furniture and electrical appliances and other things, so that Xiao Yifei could move in directly as soon as he signed the contract.

Xiao Yifei thought that this set was originally thrown there as a spare tire, but his main target was No. 34, so he bit it to death and didn't let go.

In the evening, Xiao Yifei took Concubine Yue and Jensen to sit together.

Concubine Yue briefly talked about her plan, and Xiao Yifei also said his thoughts, that is, there is a problem in this matter, but if the three parties cooperate, Concubine Yue must be dominant, and Sosby will not only be famous, but also a small amount of money.

After hearing this, Jensen muttered in his heart, this matter can be clearly explained on the phone, and he has to work to run.

After thinking about it, he said:

"I was here to convey the board's welcome to you and invite you to the board meeting in the middle of next month. As soon as you bought the stock, they left you a seat, but you ...... Now this seat is finally yours. ”

Xiao Yifei originally just wanted to make a fortune on Sotheby's stock, as long as the stock price is right, or he needs funds, the first one to clear his position is Sotheby's stock, and he doesn't want to be involved with these old guys.

"I won't participate in the board of directors, and I will go to New York this winter, isn't that to find guilt."

Then he began to explain what he meant:

"You reassure them that my concentration of shares this time is for the intermediary of this winery, this is a good negotiation, and I will soon disperse the shares again."

Of course, it has to be dispersed, as before, 2.5% per company, and he can sell if he wants. And after the concentration exceeds 5%, then he has to send an application before selling, and there must be a communiqué afterwards, which is definitely not so small as dispersion.

"We at Sotheby have only auctioned top wines and have never been involved in this kind of intermediary activity. This seems to be a good thing, but we still have to evaluate. If possible, we may be able to tripartite. ”

"The assessment is okay, but whether the assessment is passed or not, you can't leave the two of us to operate on your own, especially not in China."

"I can say yes, and you're about to be on the board, so you're sure to be able to monitor if we make a small move. And I think it's better for you to go to New York and explain your intentions to other management face-to-face, so it's more conducive to cooperation. ”

Xiao Yifei didn't want to leave the warm California to go to New York to enjoy the wind and snow:

"I won't go, Concubine Yue will help me buy a house here."

"Don't be in a hurry, you can wait a little longer before you go."

The two discussed it, and they should hear back on the 34th today and tomorrow, and finally decided that if they could get the 34th quickly, then Concubine Yue would go to New York.

The owner of No. 34 sent his quotation of 14.9 million again, which means that he refuses to reduce the price again. Xiao Yifei had the heart to make a deal at this price, and in the end, under the persuasion of Concubine Yue, he only added 100,000 yuan, reaching 14 million. Soon the owner agreed, and Concubine Yue was very proud:

"Look, I'll just say that he must be very entangled when he sends that quotation again, you just give him a step, and he will sell it."

Xiao Yifei had to admire her:

"Yes, Sister Yue is mighty, Sister Yue is rippling."

Make a deposit, sign a contract, and it will be done in no time. Concubine Yue brought the strong Grace over:

"The rest of the formalities are handled by Grace, and I have already made the situation clear to him, and he knows how to do it. I flew to New York with Jensen in the afternoon. ”

"That's right, I'll move to No. 34 when the time comes, and I will entrust him to help manage and rent this 704."

Grace thought of another management fee of more than 30,000 yuan a year, patted his chest and said:

"Wrap it up on me, and promise to help you manage it."

After saying that, I happily formed a team to go to the house inspection.

Xiao Yifei asked curiously:

"The intermediary fee for the buyer is 450,000, and you share it equally with him?"

Concubine Yue said with a smile:

"Definitely not, I'm still pointing to it to fill the investment gap."

"You're a profiteer."

Concubine Yue smiled but said nothing. (To be continued)
