Chapter 1016: Crazy House-Sweeping
April 12, 960 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.
This is a well-known top apartment in New York, located opposite Central Park, and when you open the window on the west side of the apartment, you can see the lush and picturesque Central Park, which is pleasing to the eye!
Of course, Central Park at this time of year is far from beautiful, the grass is yellow, and the new branches have not yet budded, which is somewhat bleak.
The apartment is ideally located on New York's most luxurious Fifth Avenue, with views of Central Park and easy access to the Metropolitan Museum.
It is said to be one of the three best properties in New York and is famous in the New York real estate community!
Built in the late twenties of the last century, this apartment building is a huge 22-room apartment building with extravagant decoration and elegant furnishings, which belongs to the legendary top mansion.
But that's the past, the glory of the past!
At this time, this apartment has bright windows, neat and orderly, and the decoration is still luxurious, but in Ye Tian's eyes, there is a kind of sadness that the prosperity has dispersed and people have gone to the empty building, and it is even a little dilapidated!
Of course, there is a reason why he feels this way.
Many of the top antique artworks that have made this apartment famous have been emptied, leaving only empty shelves or hanging traces, and nothing else!
In the face of this situation, those celebrities and gentlemen who have been to this mansion, if they come here again at this time, they will definitely have a lot of feelings of emptiness in life and turning their heads into emptiness.
Fortunately, Ye Tian had never been here before, and today was the first time to visit this legendary top apartment, so naturally there would be no emotion, and his emotions would not be affected in any way.
He took one final glance at the top-of-the-line apartment and made his decision.
The next moment, he turned his head to look at the real estate agent next to him and said:
"I bought this top-of-the-line apartment, Martin, at the price we agreed before, $58 million, a lump sum payment, and I can make a bank transfer at any time.
You prepare the contract as soon as possible to complete the deal, the sooner the better! If April 15th, maybe I will change my mind, and the reason should be clear to you!"
Hearing this, a smile immediately bloomed on Martin's face, which was extremely bright!
"Great! Steven, you're so bold! I'm pretty sure you're the most bold, generous, and crisp customer I've ever met, unbeatable!
It's not just me, it's all the real estate agents in New York, all the news media, and the general public, and it's rumored on the street that you're going to buy all of Manhattan!"
"Hahaha"
Ye Tian laughed, but didn't say anything.
Buddy is of course the most straightforward buyer, whether this apartment is worth the money, whether there are flaws and safety hazards, through the perspective ability, buddy can instantly understand clearly.
Even you, the real estate agent, and the original owner of the apartment, probably don't know as much about the apartment as I do.
Good quality and profitable! When you come across such a good thing, a fool will miss it! Isn't it just money!
Waiting for Ye Tian's laughter to fall, Martin continued to say excitedly:
"$58 million! What a staggering price! There is no doubt that this is certainly the most expensive property in New York this spring, and even the highest in the whole year!
Rest assured, Steven, we'll prepare the contract as soon as possible, and we'll be able to get this property deal done before the tax deadline, leaving the greedy IRS guys dumbfounded!"
This real estate agent, who has dealt with him before, obviously understands Ye Tian's real purpose in purchasing this top mansion, not only for investment, but also mainly for tax avoidance!
At this time of year, the billionaires who have made a lot of money in the past year will find ways to spend their cash and bank deposits if they don't want to be ransacked by the IRS.
They generally use the purchase of fixed assets or other types of investment to reduce the cash stock on hand, so as to achieve the purpose of reasonable tax avoidance!
Ye Tian, who has a huge amount of funds in hand, is naturally no exception.
Although paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen, who let this be the evil American imperialism, if possible, buddy really doesn't want to fulfill this obligation!
At the suggestion of two lawyers, David and Cheney, from the beginning of April, Ye Tian waved a check and began to sweep the house, and became the most generous and crazy buyer in the New York real estate market!
In just about ten days, he attacked everywhere on Manhattan Island, and at a terrifying rate of two to three sets a day, he quickly won more than 20 top mansions, and smashed out six or seven billion US dollars!
The top mansions he has selected are all located on several avenues around Central Park, and they are in a great location, with stunning views, and the view of Central Park is unbeatable!
In New York and Manhattan, these top luxury homes have always been the target of people's attention and pursuit, and they are the best investment targets, which are popular among countless people and are also the dream homes of countless people!
But it's a pity that these top mansions are all sky-high, and the minimum starts at tens of millions of dollars, which is not coveted by ordinary people at all, so they can only stand and look at it from a distance, and envy themselves in vain!
Even those who are rich in the city, buying such a top-notch mansion have to be carefully considered, and it is not that they can buy it if they want to!
There is no shortage of wealthy people in the city who are richer than Ye Tian, but their wealth is more reflected in stocks or other assets, and the cash on hand is really not necessarily abundant!
Cash is not a problem for Ye Tian at all, it can be said that there is as much as it wants, and it is even a little worrying! I don't know how to spend it!
The amount of money won in Las Vegas alone is more than a billion dollars, not to mention the money earned from auctioning off antique artworks, which is even bigger and more amazing than this number!
The reason why Ye Tian chose to buy Manhattan real estate instead of investing in other areas, such as buying stocks, naturally has his reasons!
Real estate in Manhattan is a great investment, and like the houses in Beijing's Third Ring Road, there is never a shortage of buyers and tenants waiting to buy, and the rate of return is very impressive.
The price of real estate on the island is also like a rocket, rising very rapidly, and there is a fight with real estate in Beijing!
In particular, the properties around Central Park are very rare and in-demand commodities.
Who wouldn't want to own a mansion near Central Park with the financial upstarts that are constantly emerging from Wall Street, the top rich people who flock to New York every year from other cities in the United States and around the world, and superstars of all stripes?
Not to mention anything else, just the super-rich people from China wielding the yuan can digest the top mansions in Ye Tian's hands and not keep a single set!
In this case, Ye Tian naturally chose to buy a luxury house, which can not only consume a large amount of cash in his hands quickly, but also the safest and safest way to avoid taxes.
As for the large amount of property tax and mansion tax, it is not in the scope of consideration at all, and he does not plan to hold these properties for a long time, he will sell them when the time is right, and the taxes will naturally be taken over!
Since Ye Tian began to sweep houses in Manhattan, the New York real estate market, especially the luxury housing market around Manhattan's Central Park, is like a magnitude 9 earthquake, setting off an uproar!
People were completely stunned by Ye Tian's crazy actions, and they stared at the latest transaction information that was constantly disclosed in the media with round eyes one by one.
"The super-rich Steven has made another move, spending tens of millions of dollars to take over a top mansion near Central Park!"
Eventually, everyone began to exclaim.
"Steven, this bastard isn't going to buy all of Manhattan, is he? With the momentum he's showing so far, it seems likely!
This question has even been used by some media, and has appeared in relevant newspapers and online news, causing a huge sensation throughout New York and even in the United States!
It is conceivable that when Ye Tian successfully won today's top mansion at a sky-high price of 58 million US dollars, what will happen to the outside world.
A tsunami is expected!
