Unlike her husband, who is an American, the hostess comes from an upper-class family in Paris, and her husband is able to develop well in France with some help from her family.

After the death of her husband, she was not good at business, and there was no one to support her in the United States, but she was targeted by many hungry wolves.

Entering the house, Locke saw a very patterned hall at a glance, with a chandelier three or four meters high and beautifully shaped hanging between the first and second floors.

The overall atmosphere of the hall is similar to beige, with a touch of gold, and the marble floor tiles with black patterns are underfoot, which feels no less than the banquet halls of those five-star hotels.

Compared with the popular American tyrant decoration style, the decoration of this building belongs to the French style, which is more exquisite but not luxurious, and looks romantic and elegant.

There are not many furnishings in the room, which makes the whole house feel a little empty, and the dining room is furnished with oak tables for 12 people, and exquisite tables, chairs and furniture, all of which are carefully created by the designer.

Everything made Locke feel satisfied, and he also saved himself the trouble of asking someone to design the decoration again, nodded and asked, "Will the furniture and furnishings in the room be left?" ”

"That's right, the furniture is too heavy and expensive to take away, and it doesn't fit the style of our new house in Paris, so if the person who bought it doesn't need it, you have to dispose of it on the spot."

Nodding, Locke went to the second floor again, the rooms were all located on the second floor, there was an office at the corner of the stairs, and the library with a large number of books and a well-equipped gym on the third floor gave Locke some surprises.

As for the loft, it is designed as a place for afternoon tea and is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities.

Finally Locke took a look at the basement, which was divided into several rooms, and a vault with a metal door that took up a quarter of the room, designed by a Swiss insurance company, was empty at this point.

I roughly estimated the area of the entire basement, which is enough to put down the treasure, after all, the large guys that occupy the space in the treasure are still in place, and there is no problem with the placement of small things in the way of space management.

Secretly thinking in their hearts, the group slipped to the cellar again.

There are also a lot of all kinds of famous wines left in the wine cellar, the top ones are not, but they are all high-end goods that can be handled, and they don't want to move away, and the hostess said that they can stay, and her house in Paris does not have enough free space.

Locke is really a loser.

For the first time in his life, he came into contact with such a top-level circle, and the time to become a top rich man was too short, and he really couldn't understand this kind of behavior of a loser in his eyes for a while.

Of course, in the hostess's opinion, these things have been converted into the purchase cost of the farm, although it is calculated at a discounted price, which also makes the price of the farm seem a little high.

There are very few people who can afford to buy it for tens of millions of dollars, so it is not uncommon for some top luxury estates to be listed for a year or two before they are sold.

Next, Locke and the hostess began to bargain in the attic alone, the environment of the farm, the annual income, and the decoration layout of this manor, and they did not dislike it, but they also hoped to give a discount on the price.

Because of the defects mentioned earlier, the average annual income of this farm is three or four hundred thousand, and the real value is that this manor, and the final price added up is thirty-eight million dollars.

Three million dollars was not a small sum in the early nineties, it was about the same in terms of the value of the farm and the estate, and there were even some concessions, but Locke wanted to save a little.

Now that the dollar has not yet reached the time of rapid expansion, it is still very valuable.

Neither of them was reluctant to let go, and was entangled, when he suddenly noticed a faint purple glimmer under the hostess's skirt.

It's still summer, it's hot, everyone doesn't wear much, and the rattan chairs on the attic terrace, still high in front and low in the back, just enough for Locke to see something.

I secretly said in my heart that these European ladies are really wild in their hearts, and they are worthy of being born in Paris.

On the surface, Locke is still serious about discussing with the other party, but there is an inexplicable feeling of excitement.

At this time, it is inevitable that people will be reminded of the earnest teachings of those teachers in their previous lives, as well as the learning materials related to the surviving people.

The two discussed for a while, the hostess picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea, and was just about to put it down, when a flying insect swept by, so frightened that she didn't stand firmly, and the tea in the teapot splashed on her.

Putting down the cup, the hostess said: "I'm sorry, it seems to be a bee, I've always been afraid of insects and rats, please wait, I need to wash my hands." ”

"It's okay, you're busy first." Locke got up to see her off, and turned his mind to the farm.

He was satisfied in all aspects, after all, he didn't value the income of the farm in the first place, and wanted to find a place to collect treasures and come to relax on vacation in his spare time.

It's a good fit here, but it's all about the price.

It is not difficult for him to come up with 38 million US dollars, and now he has more than 10 million US dollars in cash on hand, and he can easily obtain some shares in his hands or call on the funds of the Sky Fund Company.

But first, he doesn't want to sell the shares of companies that have a promising future, and second, it is not so simple to sell a large number of shares in the stock market, and a careless accident may affect the stock price.

The shares of Intel, Microsoft, Wells Fargo and other companies that he is now holding heavily will pay more if he wants to buy them back in the future.

Mobilizing Sky Fund's funds will inevitably affect the next investment plan.

The sterling crisis of '92 was not a direct eruption, it had already been lurking, and before that, the economies of European countries were in trouble, and there were too many opportunities for the whole process.

Soros became famous by sniping the pound, and Locke naturally will not miss this great opportunity, and now is the best time to prepare for the entry.

The funds of the Sky Fund and those of overseas companies are all prepared for this.

In this way, you can only borrow from the bank, pay some interest temporarily, and it is more cost-effective than other methods, anyway, holding shares in the company, there will be dividends every year.

As for the price, through some temptation just now, it should be possible to talk about one or two million dollars.

Thinking of this, Locke made up his mind.

"Locke, aren't you done yet?" At this time, Peggy ran to the attic, and when she saw that Locke was alone, she asked, "Where has that lady gone?" ”

"She's gone to the bathroom." Locke replied casually, and then asked, "What do you think of here?" ”

"It's very good, I think it's very interesting, this manor is also very beautiful, and you can come here to play in the summer vacation, it should be very good."

Peggy made her point and then asked, "Are you worried about the money?" ”

"Nothing, I'm ready to take a loan from the bank, and then it's not like not making money." Locke smiled and rubbed Peggy's head, feeling that he was used to this action.

Peggy is also a smart girl, and knows a little more about Locke than the Swansons.

Locke never told her how much money he had, but the only words she heard on the phone to talk about business, coupled with the clichés from Ashley, she knew that Locke had at least hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, but he never told his parents.

Seeing Locke's relaxed appearance, Peggy was not worried: "That's great, I'm thinking about coming here to learn how to ride a horse during the summer vacation." ”
