Chapter 331: Sending Money to the Door
One Hyde Park has a total of eighty-six mansions, but only four duplexes, all on the top floors of various towers.
In terms of environment, there is no doubt that this thirteen-storey building is the best
As a top-tier luxury home, security is undoubtedly paramount.
The experts of the Special Air Service Regiment of the Royal 6th Army, the tailor-made high-tech security system, and the security team composed of retired special forces, are enough to ⊥ the owners feel at ease.
Iris scanning identification systems are installed in the elevators and entrances, as well as air filtration devices to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In addition, each mansion has a specially designed emergency shelter just in case.
All the lights in the apartment change color as the light changes outside, always keeping the light that is most comfortable for the owners.
The entire mansion is decorated with the finest materials, with the highest strength bulletproof glass façade and fifteen different marble floors and timber from the same oak forest.
Yang Huan's fancy from the eleventh to the thirteenth floor of the building-in-the-building mansion, with a total area of nearly 2,000 square meters, can overlook Hyde Park and Knightsbridge business district from all angles.
It's not just about buying a house, it's also about giving away the best brand-name home appliances.
As the privilege of the penthouse duplex mansion, it has a dedicated elevator and a dedicated parking lot to ensure the best for the top floor users.
"Master Huan, there is a secret underground passage on the ground floor of One Hyde Park, which can connect to the five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel opposite, where sixty-eight excellent employees provide round-the-clock meticulous and thoughtful service to the owners of the apartments."
Miles Wood said this to Yang Huan's heart.
In Yang Huan's opinion, housekeepers and part-time workers are very troublesome.
It's a good idea to sign a contract with a hotel and have the hotel send someone to provide housekeeping services.
"Of course, correspondingly, the service fee charged by the community will be relatively expensive, and the service fee for one square meter will be 150 pounds." Miles O. Wood introduced.
In other words, if Yang Huan buys the king of the buildings, the service fee alone will be 300,000 pounds a year, which will be as high as 3 million when converted into RMB
Niang Xipi's, the service is high-end enough, but it is also expensive enough
Not to mention anything else, if you are poorer, you can't afford to live in the whole house given to you
Hugh Gro Grosvenor smiled and took over, "Miles, Young Master Huan is a distinguished guest, and the service fee will be given the highest discount."
Miles O. Wood nodded, "That's seventy-five pounds a square meter."
Yang Huan only felt what is called VIp at this time
Discounted room rates, discounted service charges, enough is enough
"What do you think?" Yang Huan looked at Zhuang Ziqing.
Long Wu and Feng Jiu don't need to look at it, as soon as these two guys see this mansion, their eyes don't blink, and they must ask in vain.
"You have an idea" Zhuang Ziqing also likes it here, "it's just a little expensive"
Yang Huan smiled and was not verbose, "Okay, right here, how much does it cost?" ”
Miles O. Wood immediately looked at Hugh O. Grosvenor.
The latter laughed and gestured four fingers towards Yang Huan.
"Four hundred million? Wow, you're too ruthless, aren't you? Yang Huan laughed and scolded.
"Young Master Huan, I'm talking about forty million pounds" Hugh Grovener smiled bitterly.
Is this quite ruthless?
The two-storey duplex mansion on the ninth and tenth floors that Hamas bought cost £31 million.
The location and environment of your building are obviously better, but it's only 40 million pounds, isn't it a good deal?
If it weren't for the fact that real estate in London is so sluggish today, how could it be so low?
Yang Huan knows that 40 million pounds is indeed quite a bargain.
If the Ukrainian tycoon on the other side of the building knows, I'm afraid he will have the intention of killing.
But Yang Huan knew in his heart that there was no free lunch in this world?
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Hugh O Grosvenor smiled, "It's nothing, Young Master Huan, when the time comes, we will announce the transaction price of 200 million pounds, and then invite some media and reporters to publicize it and have a handover ceremony." ”
"Okay, you cows" Yang Huan smiled, and he agreed.
"But I have a doubt, the pervasive media, can't you find it?"
Hugh Grovener nodded with a smile, "If you really want to check, you must be able to find it, but it is very troublesome, and for the sake of protection, even if you go to the UK Real Estate Registry and Land Registry, it is difficult to find detailed information." ”
Yang Huan understands that those who buy and never sell are shrewd.
In the UK, the Grosvenor family is the head of the land, and how can those international buyers be as shrewd?
As for those reporters, they are even more happy to hype up
Even if this set of high-level buildings is sold to Yang Huan without making money, the problem is that relying on the effect of Yang Huan's move-in, it can also attract more rich people to rob and raise the price of real estate here.
To put it simply, the wool comes from the pig
"Okay, it's just 40 million pounds, I'll buy it, I'll give the money later, we'll check in tonight"
Zhuang Ziqing rolled his eyes when he heard this.
That's too fast, isn't it?
Hugh O Grosvenor also nodded, "Miles, wait a minute, immediately inform the people at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and clean up this place"
"Okay, Master Grosvenor"
Hugh Groven looked at Yang Huan with a smile, "Young Master Huan, it's not too early, my father wants to invite you to dinner, I don't know if there is time?" ”
Yang Huan knew that things must not be so simple.
For no reason, the Duke of Westminster would sell you such a mansion at a discount?
"Okay"
"Young Master Na Huan, please" After speaking, he took the lead and walked out.
"Ah Huan, this ......" Zhuang Ziqing felt that he had made a decision too quickly.
Yang Huan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I know, let's go"
With that, he went out with him.
A group of people took the elevator down to the ground floor, and sure enough, there was an underground passage leading directly to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
After arriving at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, I took the elevator upstairs and arrived at one of the restaurants.
The Duke of Westminster, like a mountain of meat, was already waiting there.
As soon as he saw Yang Huan, he immediately stood up with a smile.
"Mr. Yang Huan, is the house still satisfied? If there is anything that is not satisfied, I will immediately ask them to change it, and if it doesn't work, you tell me what kind of house I like, I will ask them to find it for you."
After speaking, the Duke of Westminster beckoned Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing to sit down.
He said this very richly, but no one would deny that he did have such influence in this country.
"No, I think the house is very good, very satisfied"
"That's good, that's good"
The two of you greeted me politely.
It didn't take long for the waiter at the hotel to deliver the food.
After a full meal, I began to get to the point
"Mr. Yang Huan, to tell you the truth, I think you Saints fans will do a very good job."
Yang Huan listened to him and nodded noncommittally.
"As for me, I'm in the real estate business, I don't have much interest in other things, and I mentioned to you when we first met that Southampton is planning a major redevelopment and remodeling."
As he spoke, the Duke of Westminster nodded at his son.
Hugh Grovener immediately took out a map and spread it out, revealing a map of Southampton's central city.
"At the moment the renovation of Southampton has not been announced to the public, and there is not even much news, but I have received very definite information that there are seven major exhibitions, concentrated here, here, and here"
With the Duke of Westminster's finger, Yang Huan noticed it.
One is west of the Yichin River, St. Mary's Stadium and the area south of the stadium, where the WeChat headquarters is also located, and the other is the north bank of the Teste River, next door to the sailing headquarters, which is the area where the Wangjiang Pavilion is located, and the other is in the city center.
"St Mary's Stadium, the most important of the seven major projects, will be the heart of the future Southampton economic exhibition, the lifeblood of maritime activity in the entire Solent Strait, and the heaviest exhibition in the entire planning blueprint."
"The potential of the riverfront is huge, and there will also be a well-developed commercial precinct, residential area, leisure facilities, a waterfront sports academy, and even the redevelopment of the entire Southampton Pier in the future."
Yang Huan still didn't speak, and continued to listen silently.
"Next door to the sailing headquarters, known as the Royal Docks, the master plan is second only to the riverfront, and £500 million will be invested to rebuild Southampton's coastal landscape."
"At the same time, Mayflower Park will be expanded to create a series of specialty shops, office buildings, leisure clubs, high-end apartments, etc., which will be integrated with the waterfront landscape and provide sufficient space for retail, dining, nightlife and commerce."
Yang Huan had previously encouraged Terry Matthews to renovate and rebuild Southampton.
But he never imagined that the new mayor of Southampton would make such a big move.
Courageous, I like it
The Duke of Westminster looked at Yang Huan with a smile on the corner of his mouth, although he didn't say anything, he knew that Yang Huan understood in his heart.
"I'm not very interested in the redevelopment of the city centre, but I am very interested in the projects in the Riverside and the Royal Docks, which are the VIp projects in the whole renovation project, and I want to try to win it"
After hearing this, Yang Huan nodded and smiled, "Good thing, I believe that with your connections in the UK, it will definitely be fine."
The Duke of Westminster also smiled slightly, "I am confident that I will win these two major projects, but I have two problems"
Seeing that Yang Huan didn't speak, the Duke of Westminster knew what was going on.
"First of all, the land, the area of Wangjiang Pavilion is not small, plus the parking lot, I heard that it is your personal assets"
Yang Huan nodded.
The price of land in Southampton is still not expensive, even now, but it is slightly more expensive.
A single apartment of forty or fifty square meters is about 130,000 pounds.
But when Yang Huan first ordered Wangjiang Pavilion, the cost was not so high, and it was a low price.
Moreover, at that time, no one knew that the old city was going to be renovated.
Even now, not many people know about it.
"St. Mary's Stadium occupies a large area, and the WeChat company headquarters building is also in the riverside area, both of which are yours, and both are in the heart of the riverside renovation."
What the Duke of Westminster meant, Yang Huan understood.
He only learned the news a little earlier than Yang Huan now, but he didn't have much advantage.
Because of the relationship between Yang Huan and Terry Matthews, it won't take long to know.
Instead of this, it is better to take the initiative to confess now, get a good impression, and get a chance to cooperate.
The two major renovation projects of the Riverside District and the Royal Docks District are worth a lot of money, and they are no longer a matter of tens of millions of pounds, but billions or even tens of billions of dollars.
Compared to this, what is the duplex villa at One Hyde Park?
Besides, they sold it to Yang Huan at the cost price, but they brought in the media to hype and publicize it, and they couldn't lose it
Instead, he sold him a favor
This business is not a loss
However, for Yang Huan, it is also an opportunity.
Construction of the new stadium and hotel began, and according to the government's plan, the surrounding facilities were built, and the stadium and hotel also benefited.
In Yang Huan's planning, once the hotel and stadium are completed, Southampton will definitely move out of St. Mary's Stadium, so what will happen to St. Mary's Stadium then? Home for the youth team?
It's too extravagant
Wangjiang Pavilion is definitely going to move to the hotel, so it will be vacant by then, so it can't be idle, right?
The only trouble is the office in the WeChat building, but it's a big deal to build one yourself, what's the problem?
Nowadays, WeChat companies are not only in Southampton, but even in the whole of the United Kingdom, which are well-known enterprises, and the government has to support and take care of them, and build an office building, which is just a small matter.
I believe that the Duke of Westminster came to the door to seek opportunities for cooperation.
Perhaps, this guy already knew about this plan when they first met
"Mr. Yang Huan, we have an old friendship, Ming people don't say secret words, I hope that your three pieces of land can be used as shares, let's work together and make money together
Yang Huan saw that the British government was making Southampton the Sanya of the south coast of the United Kingdom.
As soon as this news was announced, investors around the world didn't flock to it?
Especially for those invisible rich people in Russia, Ukraine, and the Middle East, investing in real estate and shops is what they like the most, otherwise they would not have directly bought dozens of shops in the entire Knightsbridge to collect rent.
So, in a way, it's a low-risk, high-return bargain
Wouldn't it be a fool if someone sent money to the door and didn't agree?
"Okay, I agree" Yang Huan nodded with a smile.
"However, I'll also say ugly things first, whether it's Wangjiang Pavilion, or St. Mary's Stadium, or WeChat headquarters building, it's not cheap."
The Duke of Westminster smiled, "Don't worry, I know how to do it"
Those who do big things have to take a long-term view, plan a big cake, and don't always chase small profits.
"In addition, I plan to hand over this project to Hugh to be in charge."
Hugh Groven also nodded immediately and said, "Young Master Huan, I plan to make a plan to discuss it in our Saints Fan Club, do you think it's okay?"
To put it bluntly, the Duke of Westminster can't afford such a big scene alone, so he has to pull investment everywhere.
The Saints fan club is a group of rich second generations, although they may not have real power, but a thousand people can make up some, and their financial resources should not be underestimated.
Of course, Yang Huan is the president, and if there are projects to discuss, they must be approved by the president, right?
"Okay, you can do it."
"Thank you, Young Master Huan"
Hugh O Grosvenor was also excited.
This is the first time he's been on his own
