Hanging up the phone and putting down the phone, Martin picked up the knife and fork, cut open the barbecue made by Lily, carefully ate a piece, and found that it tasted good.

He swallowed and said, "When did you have this cooking?" ”

Lily flexibly cut the barbecue into boxy pieces, and said with a smile: "I didn't do very well at the beginning, but Hall was very supportive, even if I put too much salt and the meat is fried and burnt, he will eat it all." ”

Martin observed a two-second silence for Hall: "It's not easy for him to grow up this big. ”

Bruce, who was eating with his head down, looked at Martin and then at Lily, and said that the younger brother might have no human rights since he was a child.

After Martin finished eating, he took a set of materials and handed it to Lily: "Look at it." ”

"This ......" Lily thought it was something like a review material, after all, Martin was not a good person, and he gave her several large boxes of bison horns as gifts.

Facing Martin, Lilibi was more confident in the face of Elena, and said weakly: "I'm working hard, don't give me these anymore." ”

Martin couldn't help but laugh: "You take a look first." ”

Lily opened the bag and found that it was basically full of photos, a photo of a mansion, which looked quite large, not to mention the courtyard and sports field, there were two large villas alone.

She has been in Los Angeles for more than a year and knows a little bit about this area, which could be a mansion worth more than $20 million.

Martin asked, "How's that, isn't it?" “

"Uh, good." Lily misunderstood: "This is too valuable......"

Martin broke her illusion: "Don't worry, it's not for you, the house has just been put up, you go and help me buy it, in your name." ”

Lily wondered, "Why didn't you go yourself?" I'm going to have to go through it one more time, and it's going to be a lot of trouble. ”

Martin told the truth: "This house belongs to a friend of mine, he is a little troublesome now, lacks enough cash flow, wants to sell the property to raise money, I have a good relationship with him, and it is not good to buy his house directly at a low price while the fire is hot." “

Lily said in her heart, what kind of unlucky ghost actually made such a good friend as you, probably cursed by Satan when he was born.

But after all, she only dared to think about this kind of thing, and did not dare to say it.

Martin asked, "You don't want to go and I'll find someone else." ”

Lily hurriedly responded: "I'm fine. She decided to straighten her waist a little, after all, she is also a rich little rich woman, and her economic foundation brings a little confidence: "After I buy it, I will leave a room and let me arrange it at will." ”

"Yes." Martin is not Elena after all, and he will not return the love with an iron fist at every turn, but he is worse in some aspects: "In the future, the hygiene of the villa will be handed over to you." ”

Lily looked at the villa in the photo, and then at her artist's hand, and wanted to cry without tears.

Martin deliberately said, "Go, Miss Multimillionaire, go buy that mansion." ”

Lily stood up, tidied up her clothes a little, took the information handed by Martin, contacted the real estate agent first, and then went out and drove the red Cadillac to Beverly Hills.

In the crew of "The Dark Knight" for more than half a year, Lily is also well-informed, without the slightest timidity.

Martin and Bruce got into a Volkswagen sedan and followed.

…………

Beverly Hills, the area north of Sunset Boulevard in the best location.

Pete walked past the outdoor pool in the back garden, entered the back door of the main house, lifted his bag, and looked at the slightly empty house, feeling extremely reluctant.

He bought it a few years ago for more than $12 million, and the money was used to buy land, so to speak.

After that, it cost more than 25 million US dollars to tear down and rebuild, and it has what it is today.

"This house, I think it's worth $30 million." Pete looked at his investment advisor: "But it can only hang $13 million." ”

The investment consultant said: "It's not a few years ago, there is an economic crisis, real estate is in a recession, real estate is declining all over the country, and we are selling urgently, reducing prices to make a quick move, and there are not many buyers who can take out tens of millions of dollars to buy a house at one time, you live in Beverly Hills, you see the surrounding situation, and there are many houses that want to sell but can't be sold because of the price." ”

Pete certainly saw it, otherwise how could he agree to sell at such a price.

In the past, I felt that too much cash in my hand was a waste of assets, but when it was really useful, I found that liquidity was the life-saving capital.

The investment adviser said, "If you don't sell this one, you have to sell the house or estate in New York......

Pete doesn't want to stay in Los Angeles anymore, and the city makes him feel insecure: "No, houses in New York can't be sold, what about stocks in the stock market?" ”

The investment adviser's face was not good-looking: "You can't find anyone to take over Fannie Mae's shares." ”

He said it quite well, a few years ago real estate was super hot, and the Washington authorities made it a priority for the economy, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were simply the stars of the stars.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kind of popularity cannot last, and he persuaded Pitt not to invest in Fannie Mae, but Pitt did not listen at all, and as a result, most of the liquidity was smashed on Fannie Mae's side.

Today, Fannie Mae's stock is not much different from waste paper.

Pete exuded a sense of desolation: "I hope the next owner will treat this house well." ”

The investment advisor answered the phone: "Good news, the real estate agent will bring someone over to see the house in a moment." ”

Pete desperately needed a large amount of liquidity to solve the problem he was facing, even jail, and immediately walked out: "Let's go." ”

When the two of them went out of the gate in a car, they happened to see two cars driving up.

The one in front of them recognized, the real estate agent's Mercedes-Benz, and behind it was an unfamiliar red Cadillac.

Pete looked through the windshield of the Cadillac and saw that the driver was a beautiful girl who was not very old.

Susan's Mercedes stopped by the fountain in front of the villa, waited for Lily to get out of the car, and said: "This house has only been built for 6 years, and the previous owner has lived in it for only 3 years, everything is no different from brand new......

Lily walked up the steps and looked out over the front yard with flowers and palm trees, a spacious and flat courtyard, and a separate outdoor barbecue area that could accommodate a party of up to 100 people at any one time.

Nearby, two large two-story villas with attics are connected in an L-shape and are independent of each other.

Behind the house, there is a garden and outdoor pool on one side, and a tennis court and helicopter apron on the other.

Compared to this mansion, Martin's current house is much worse.

Lily has a feeling that under normal circumstances, the $13 million that the real estate agent said will never be able to buy, and it would be good to be able to buy the land.

She asked curiously, "Susan, who is the owner of this house?" ”

Susan couldn't hide it, so she simply said: "It's Brad Pitt, you should have heard about him, if it wasn't for the money raised as soon as possible, he wouldn't have sold it at this price." ”

Hearing the name Pete, Lily immediately understood why Martin didn't come forward in person.

Pete is Martin's "good friend"!

Lily followed Susan around and said, "I don't want any furniture or anything, the price on your side will be lowered a little, and if it is suitable, I will be able to sign a contract with you today to pay." ”

Susan couldn't make the decision, so she called and communicated with someone, and finally priced $12 million.

The whole world is in an economic crisis, and customers who can quickly pull out such a large amount of cash are not said to be able to meet immediately.

The next day, Lily took her lawyer and followed Susan through various formalities, and then before she could get hot, she was forced to transfer it to Martin.

The money from Pitt's sale of the house was only in his hands for two days, and a significant portion of it was paid after a settlement agreement was reached with the victim group led by Caroline.

During the special period, Pete quickly cuts through the mess, fully learns how Nicholson, the boss of the bastard trio, deals with illegitimate children, gives a sum of money to send people away, and signs relevant agreements to let people go as far as they can and avoid entering the judicial process.

The main thing is that the heart is weak, once it enters the judicial process and the paternity test is correct, it is not a small amount of money, but to cut the meat.

By addressing these concerns, Pete and his lawyers were able to focus on the breach of contract prosecution of Breitling and Cadillac.

Compared to that, this is the most terrible opponent.

If he can't settle out of court, or if he loses the lawsuit, Pitt may even go bankrupt because of compensation.

In order to form a group of luxury lawyers, Pitt raised money again and disposed of a luxury apartment near New York's Central Park at a low price.

After he renovated it, he never lived there.

New York was the hardest hit by the economic crisis, and property prices were already low, and in a hurry to get money, prices had to fall again.

Martin kept people staring at Pete, and the tool man Lily immediately went online and flew to New York to buy a Central Park view apartment with an area of more than 300 square meters.

The main thing is that a good friend should help solve financial difficulties in a timely manner.

Pete doesn't know it now, and if he does, he will yell and thank you.

In Beverly Hills, Martin didn't care about Lily, a tool man who was busy in New York, called his beloved little witch, drove a Porsche together, and came to a luxury villa on Sunset Boulevard North.

The car drove to the door, Martin pressed the wireless key in his hand, and the wrought iron door opened automatically.

Elizabeth followed the curved main road until she came to the fountain square of the villa, and after parking her car, she said, "This house is big enough, much better than my sisters' house." ”

Martin deliberately said: "There is an indoor pool, but the furniture has not been bought for the time being. ”

Elizabeth jumped out of the car: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

The mansion that has been built for six years, and is extremely well maintained, looks not much different from new, and Martin does not plan to move on the outside, but the interior needs to be properly renovated and improved, and the furniture must be bought again.

The more Elizabeth looked, the more satisfied she became, the courtyard was large enough, the building area was also large, the indoor swimming pool and fitness room were all available, there was a private cinema that could accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time, and a large restaurant for more than 30 people.

"Two years ago, this house would have sold for at least $28 million." Elizabeth knows something about mansions: "You picked up a big bargain. ”

Martin smiled and didn't say much.

robbed women, snatched endorsements, snatched movie roles, and then robbed mansions.
