Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 314 Mansion (24 for subscription)

  The environment of the community is really good, just beside Kensington Gardens, next to Hyde Park, and not far from Buckingham Palace, the residence of the Queen.

A mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars is already one of the most expensive buildings in the world. Most rich people like to tinker with their own houses, such as the one built by Bill Gates himself. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison recently Over the past few years, 200 million U.S. dollars has been invested to build a Japanese-style manor, and the news of the completion of the project just came last month.

The housing prices in the core area of ​​London are higher than those on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, but Ye Dongqing already has a house there. The reason why she came to London to look at houses this time is to buy a house of her own in advance. His career is all on the right track. He feels that he may come to London to live for a while. When he was young, he was busy with work. He couldn't spend his whole life on it. He didn't intend to become a slave to money.

  Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil, etc., there are still many countries and regions that he has not been to. Global travel plans have been put on his agenda.

The two houses are separated by a few hundred meters. Walk to the larger house, which covers an area of ​​nearly 3,000 square meters. It is said that more than 20 million pounds were invested in the renovation. In the crude oil futures market, the situation was miscalculated, and the investment in Internet technology stocks was also in vain, so the house was sold to recover.

  There are tall trees growing along the street, pedestrians pass by, there are no cars on the road, and the environment is relatively quiet.

I talked to the gatekeeper, and when I entered, I could see the park next to it through the railing. There is also a swimming pool in the yard of this building, which is larger than the one I saw before. There are deck chairs beside it, covered by an awning, and placed There are several stone lions, and the water in the pool is light blue.

A road bends from the entrance to the gate of the villa. The garden is very delicately arranged, covered by trees, so that the inside cannot be seen from the outside, and there is a small piece of grass. There is a fat dog tied at the corner, which looks like a lion. With reddish hair, Ye Dongqing thought it was a Chow Chow and didn't care.

  The neo-Georgian-style building looks very aesthetically pleasing, not close to the street, and you can hear the chirping of birds. So far, Ye Dongqing is still very satisfied. Standing on the spot and looking around, she thinks living here should be pretty good.

  Laura has been running around with Ye Dongqing for the past two days, so she asked her tutor for leave. Her grades are very good, and she is a celebrity. The other party didn't make things difficult, so she agreed directly. At this moment, she was going to play with the dog, but as soon as she got close, she saw the puppy barking fiercely. It sounded a bit like a lion.

  Hearing the low growl, Ye Dongqing smiled and said, "Hey, this little guy is really fierce. Could it be that he was raised in a nursing home?"

"It is not an ordinary puppy. It comes from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is said to be more ferocious than the Caucasian dog. The former owner did not take it away when he left because there was no way to tame it. It is worth tens of thousands of pounds. We can't just take it away directly. Throw it to a stray dog ​​rescue, maybe someone likes it."

  The realtor explained.

   "Tibetan Mastiff?"

I can't help but take a few more glances. Ye Dongqing once had a friend who raised this kind of dog, and he became interested in the little guy. Every time he heard the dog barking like crazy, he would feel annoyed, so no matter whether it was in his previous life or this life Raised a dog.

I approached and took a look, then turned back and asked to see the interior of the house. The decoration is magnificent, all of which are camphor wood with golden texture, and even the walls are pasted with this kind of wood board. After turning on the light It is really a bit like a golden house, with some dark furniture and wood carvings, the whole is quite harmonious, and the floor is also black floor tiles mixed with golden patterns, which is overwhelming.

A total of 16 guest rooms, an indoor swimming pool, a private cinema that can accommodate 12 people, plus an independent gym, and an underground wine cellar of more than 300 square meters, can cost more than 80 million pounds. Not only is the location good, it is enough It can be seen that the designer put a lot of effort into the design.

I asked if the price could be lowered on the sidelines. In addition, there are specific taxes and fees. I bought all the antiques worth 150 million pounds, and the intermediary got a staggering 2.25 million pounds. For myself and future generations Where they lived, Ye Dongqing was more willing to spend money. When she heard the price, she didn't even frown. She directly asked the real estate agent to invite the landlord out to have a face-to-face conversation with her.

   When he learned that someone else bid 77 million pounds, but the owner refused to sell, he already had an approximate price in mind...

  ********

   Norm Gottesman, a Jewish American in his forties.

  Recently, he has been devastated due to business failures. He is currently living in London, trying to snipe crude oil futures on the London Stock Exchange, trying to get back up from where he fell.

Since the beginning of this year, investors and investment institutions who shorted crude oil futures have all suffered heavy losses. The price of oil has risen so fast that Mr. Gottesman has not had much time to react. His net worth has shrunk by 30% from about 500 million pounds. If the situation cannot be reversed, the hedge fund company he co-founded will be in big trouble.

A series of decision-making mistakes resulted in a misjudgment of the international situation. No wonder others, so he decided to sell this mansion on Kensington Palace Garden Street. Due to the relatively high price, it has not been sold since the beginning of the year. Because he has not yet entered the critical period of life and death decisions, so he is not in a hurry.

  Received a call from a real estate agent, telling him that a young man named "Leo Ye" wanted to buy a house, and Mr. Gottesman drove over immediately by car.

  As for Ye Dongqing, he was not very famous last year, but now as long as he is doing business on Wall Street, almost no one does not know him.

One success may be luck, but Mr. Gottesman knows that Ye Dongqing has successfully made profits from the crude oil futures market three times, each time earning more than the last time. This is no longer explained by luck. Should I ask the little Chinese guy what he thinks about the recent oil price trend.

Freshwater Investment Group has just completed a sell-off, which has actually shown a certain attitude to Mr. Gottesman, but since the end of the war last year, especially after the second half of last year, the crazy trend of international oil prices has simply made many people I don't understand. Although hedge funds are a little safer, it doesn't mean they are 100% safe, but they are less risky than traditional funds.

He knew that the business genius not only made achievements in the economic field, but even the stock **** Buffett praised his courage in private. What about the debt of more than 20 billion US dollars? No problem, Ye Dongqing is still the object Mr. Gottesman needs to look up to...
