Wall Street Legend

Chapter 314 Luxury House (24 please subscribe)

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

A mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars is already one of the most expensive buildings in the world. Most wealthy people like to tinker with their own houses, such as the one Bill Gates spent his own money to build. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison recently Over the past few years, US$200 million has been invested in building a Japanese-style manor, and news of its completion just came last month.

Housing prices in the core area of ​​London are higher than those in 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 her own residence in advance. After these few years of busy work, everything will be ready. His career was all on track, and he thought he might come to London to live there for a while. He was busy with work when he was young, so he couldn't spend his whole life on it, and he had no intention of becoming a slave to money.

Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil, etc., there are many countries and regions that he has not been to yet, and his global travel plan has been put on his agenda.

The two houses are a few hundred meters apart. We walked to the larger house, which covers a total area of ​​nearly 3,000 square meters. It is said that more than 20 million pounds was invested in the decoration. Later, the hedge tycoon failed. In the crude oil futures market, I miscalculated the situation, and the Internet technology stocks I invested in were also in vain, so I sold my house to make money.

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

I told the doorman that I could see the park next to me through the railing when I entered. There is also a swimming pool in the yard of this building, which is larger than the one I saw before. There are lounge chairs covered by awnings and placed next to it. There are several stone lions and the water in the pool is light blue.

A road curves from the door to the door of the villa. The garden is exquisitely arranged, covered by trees, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside. There is also a small piece of grass, and a fat dog is tied at the corner. It looks like a lion. The hair was reddish, so Ye Dongqing thought it was a Chow Chow and didn't pay much attention.

The neo-Georgian style building looks very beautiful on the outside. It is not close to the street and you can hear the chirping of birds. Until now, Ye Dongqing is still very satisfied. She stood there and looked at it and thought it would be good to live here.

Laura has been traveling around with Ye Dongqing for the past two days, so she specifically asked for leave from her tutor. Her grades were very good, and she was a celebrity, so the other party agreed directly without any difficulty. At this moment, she was going to play with the dog, but as soon as she got close, she saw the puppy barking fiercely, and the sound really sounded a bit like a lion.

Hearing the low roar, Ye Dongqing smiled and said: "Hey, this little guy is really fierce. Is it possible that he was raised as a nurse?"

"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 previous 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." It was given to a stray dog ​​rescue agency, maybe some customers would like it."

the real estate agent explained.

"Tibetan Mastiff?"

He couldn't help but take a few more glances. Ye Dongqing once had a friend who had this kind of dog, and he was a little interested in the little guy. Every time he heard the dog barking like crazy, he would feel irritated, so whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he would never Had a dog.

I took a closer look, then turned back and asked to see the inside of the house. The decoration was magnificent, all made of camphor wood with golden texture. Even the walls were covered with such wooden boards. After turning on the lights, It really looks a bit like a golden house, with some dark furniture and wood carvings. The whole thing is quite harmonious. The floor is also black with gold textured floor tiles, which makes it look very noble.

There are a total of sixteen 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. It can command a price of more than 80 million pounds. It is not just about the location, it is enough. It can be seen that the designer put great care into the design.

I asked around and around if the price could be lower, as well as the specific tax situation. I bought antiques worth 150 million pounds, and the agent got an astonishing 2.25 million pounds. For myself and future generations, Where they lived, Ye Dongqing was even more willing to spend money. When he heard the price, he didn't even frown. He directly asked the real estate agent to invite the landlord out and talk to him face to face.

When he learned that someone else was offering 77 million pounds, but the owner didn't agree to sell, he already had an approximate price in mind...

**********

Norm Gottesman, a Jewish American in his forties.

Recently, he has been distressed due to the failure of his business. He currently lives in London, trying to snipe crude oil futures on the London Exchange, trying to get back up from where he fell.

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

After a series of decision-making mistakes and a misjudgment of the international situation, no one else could blame him, so he decided to sell this mansion on Kensington Palace Garden Street. Because the price was relatively high, it has not been sold since the beginning of the year. Because he has not yet fallen into a critical period of life and death decisions, he is not in a hurry.

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

Ye Dongqing was not very famous last year, but now almost everyone who does business on Wall Street knows him.

One success may be luck, but Mr. Gottesman knew that Ye Dongqing had successfully profited from the crude oil futures market three times, earning more each time. This could no longer be explained by luck. He was distracted on the way and thought about it later. Should I ask the little Chinese guy what he thinks of the recent oil price trend?

Freshwater Investment Group has just completed a sell-off. In fact, this has shown a certain attitude to Mr. Gottesman. However, 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 slightly safer, it does not mean that they are 100% safe. They just have less risk than traditional funds.

He knew that the business genius not only made great achievements in the economic field, but also made the stock god Buffett privately praise his courage. So what if he had more than 20 billion US dollars in debt? As long as the investment assets No problem, Ye Dongqing is still the one Mr. Gottesman needs to look up to...
