Chapter 330
One Hyde Park has a total of 86 luxury homes, but only four duplexes, all on the top floors of the various buildings.

In terms of environment, the [-]-story building is undoubtedly the best!
As a top mansion, security is undoubtedly of paramount importance.

Experts from the British Royal Army Special Air Service Regiment, a tailor-made high-tech security system, and a security team composed of retired special forces are enough to make the owner feel at ease.

The elevator and the entrance are equipped with iris scanning identification systems, as well as air filtration devices, to ensure foolproof.

In addition, emergency refuge rooms are specially designed in each luxury house, just in case.

All the lights in the apartment change color with the light outside, always in the most comfortable light for the owner.

The decoration of the entire mansion is made of the most precious materials, the exterior walls are made of the highest strength bulletproof glass curtain wall, and the floor is paved with fifteen different kinds of marble and wood from the same oak forest.

Yang Huan had his eyes on this set of duplexes from the eleventh to the thirteenth floor, with a total area of ​​nearly [-] square meters. It could overlook Hyde Park and the Knightsbridge business district from all angles.

This is not just about buying a house, but also presenting top-notch brand-name appliances and furniture.

As a privilege of a duplex mansion on the top floor, it has a dedicated elevator and a dedicated parking lot to ensure the privacy of the top floor users.

"Master Huan, there is a secret underground passage on the ground floor of No. 68 Hyde Park, which can connect to the five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel opposite. There are [-] excellent employees there to provide meticulous and thoughtful services to the apartment owners around the clock."

Miles Wood's words really entered Yang Huan's heart.

In Yang Huan's view, housekeepers and part-time workers are very troublesome.

It is quite good to sign such a contract with the hotel, and the hotel will send a special person to provide housekeeping services.

"Of course, correspondingly, the service fee charged by the community will be relatively expensive, and the service fee for a square meter is 150 pounds." Miles Wood introduced.

In other words, if Yang Huan bought the building king among the building kings, the service fee alone would cost 30 pounds a year, which would be as high as 300 million in RMB!

Niang Xipi, the service is high-end, but also expensive!
Among other things, if you are poorer, the whole house will be given to you, and you will not be able to afford it!
Hugh Grosvenor accepted the words with a smile, "Myers, Master Huan is a distinguished guest, so the service fee will be given the highest discount!"

Miles Wood nodded, "The service fee is £75 per square meter!"

Only at this time did Yang Huan realize what a VIP is.

Discounted house prices and discounted service charges are enough!

"What do you think?" Yang Huan looked at Zhuang Ziqing.

There is no need to look at Long Wu and Feng Jiu. When these two guys saw this mansion, they didn't even blink their eyes. It must be useless to ask.

"Make up your mind!" Zhuang Ziqing also liked this place quite a bit, "It's just a bit more expensive!"

Yang Huan chuckled and said without hesitation, "Okay, here it is, how much is the price?"

Miles Wood immediately looked at Hugh Grosvenor.

The latter smiled and pointed four fingers at Yang Huan.

"[-] million? Damn, are you too ruthless?" Yang Huan laughed and cursed.

"Master Huan, I'm talking about 4000 million pounds!" Hugh Grosvenor smiled wryly.

Is this cruel?

The two-story duplex mansion on the ninth and tenth floors that Hamas bought cost 100 million pounds.

Your building's location and environment are obviously better, but it's only 4000 million pounds, isn't it worth it?
If it weren't for the downturn in real estate in London, how could such a low price be possible?

Yang Huan knew very well that £4000 million was indeed quite a bargain.

If the Ukrainian rich man on the opposite floor found out, I'm afraid he would have the intention to kill someone.

But Yang Huan knew in his heart, how can there be a free lunch in this world?

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Hugh Grosvenor smiled, "It's nothing, Master Huan. We will announce the transaction price of [-] million pounds, and invite some media and reporters to publicize it and hold a handover ceremony."

"Okay, you guys are great!" Yang Huan laughed, agreeing.

"But I have a doubt, can the pervasive media not find it?"

Hugh Grosvenor nodded with a smile, "If you really want to check, you can definitely find it, but it is very troublesome, and for the sake of privacy protection, it is difficult to find detailed information even if you go to the British Real Estate Registry and Land Registry."

Yang Huan finally understood that those who buy are never as smart as those who sell.

In the UK, the Grosvenor family is the tycoon. How can those international buyers be as smart as them?

As for those reporters, they are even more happy to hype them!

Even if this set of super building kings 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 loot and raise the real estate prices here.

To put it simply, wool comes from pigs!

"Okay, just 4000 million pounds, I bought it, and I will pay you later, we will move in tonight!"

Zhuang Ziqing rolled her eyes.

Isn't this pace too fast?

Hugh Grosvenor also nodded, "Myers, wait a moment and immediately inform the people at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to clean up this place!"

"Yes, Master Grosvenor!"

Hugh Grosvenor smiled and looked at Yang Huan, "Master Huan, it's getting late, my father wants to treat you to dinner, do you have time?"

Yang Huan knew that things must not be so simple.

For no reason, the Duke of Westminster would sell such a mansion to you at a discount?

"Okay!"

"Master Huan, please!" After speaking, he took the lead and walked out.

"A Huan, this..." Zhuang Ziqing felt that she made a decision too quickly.

Yang Huan nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I know, let's go!"

With that said, he also followed out.

A group of people took the elevator down to the ground floor, and there was indeed an underground passage leading directly to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

After arriving at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, I took the elevator directly upstairs to one of the restaurants.

The Duke of Westminster was already waiting there like a mountain of meat.

As soon as he saw Yang Huan, he immediately stood up laughing.

"Mr. Yang Huan, is the house still satisfactory? If there is anything that is not satisfactory, I will ask them to change it immediately. If not, tell me what kind of house you like, and I will let them find it for you!"

After speaking, the Duke of Westminster called Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing to sit down.

What he said was rich and powerful, 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 exchanged polite greetings with each other.

It didn't take long for the hotel waiter to deliver the food.

After a full meal, we started to get down to business!

"Mr. Yang Huan, to tell you the truth, I think you Saints fans will do very well."

Yang Huan listened to him and nodded noncommittally.

"As for me, I'm in real estate business. I don't have much interest in other aspects. When we first met, I mentioned to you that Southampton is planning to undergo a large-scale reconstruction and renovation."

With that said, the Duke of Westminster nodded towards his son.

Hugh Grosvenor immediately took out a map and spread it out. It was a map of Southampton's downtown area.

"At present, Southampton's renovation project has not been announced to the public, and there is not even much news, but I have received very definite information. There are seven major development projects, concentrated here, here, and here!"

Following the Duke of Westminster's finger, Yang Huan noticed.

One is the area west of the Yiqin River, St. Mary's Stadium and the south of the stadium, including the WeChat headquarters, the other is the north bank of the Test River, next to the sailing headquarters, which is the area where Wangjiang Pavilion is located, and the other is in the city center.

"The riverside area of ​​St. Mary's Stadium is the most critical of the seven major projects. This will be the core of Southampton's economic development in the future, the lifeblood of maritime activities in the entire Solent Strait, and the most important development project in the entire planning blueprint."

"The riverside area has great potential. It will also build a commercial area with complete infrastructure, residential areas, leisure facilities, and a seaside sports academy, and even rebuild the entire Southampton pier in the future!"

Yang Huan still didn't speak, and continued to listen silently.

"In addition, next door to the sailing headquarters is the Royal Wharf area. The overall plan here is second only to the riverside area. It will invest [-] million pounds to rebuild Southampton's coastal landscape."

"At the same time, Mayflower Park will be expanded to build a series of specialty stores, office buildings, leisure clubs, high-end apartments, etc., integrated with the seaside landscape, providing enough space for retail shops, restaurants, nightlife and commerce."

Yang Huan had previously encouraged Terry Matthews to make drastic changes and rebuild Southampton.

But he never thought that the newly appointed 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 his lips. Although he didn't say anything, he knew that Yang Huan understood.

"I'm not interested in the renovation of the city center, but I'm very interested in the projects in the Riverside area and the Royal Dock area, which are VIP projects in the entire renovation project, and I want to fight for them!"

After hearing this, Yang Huan nodded and smiled, "Good thing, I believe that with your connections in the UK, you will be fine!"

The Duke of Westminster also smiled slightly, "I am confident of winning these two major projects, but I have two questions!"

Seeing that Yang Huan was silent, the Duke of Westminster knew what was going on.

"First of all, the land. The Wangjiang Pavilion is not small. In addition to the parking lot, I heard that they are all your personal assets!"

Yang Huan nodded.

The land price in Southampton is not expensive even now, but the house price is a little more expensive.

A single apartment of 13 to [-] square meters costs around [-] pounds.

But when Yang Huan bought Wangjiang Pavilion back then, the cost was not so high, it was considered a bargain at a low price.

Moreover, at that time, no one knew that the old city was going to be renovated.

Even now, few people know about it.

"St. Mary's Stadium covers a large area, and the WeChat company headquarters building is also in the Riverside District. Both buildings belong to you, and they are both located in the core area of ​​the Riverside District's renovation!"

Yang Huan understood what the Duke of Westminster meant.

He just learned the news a little earlier than Yang Huan, 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 come to the door to confess now, to win a good impression, and to get a chance to cooperate.

The two major renovation projects in the Riverside area and the Royal Dock area are worth a lot. They are no longer a matter of tens of millions of pounds, but billions, or even tens of billions.

Compared with this, what is the duplex villa at One Hyde Park?
Besides, selling it to Yang Huan at the cost price, but attracting media hype and publicity, they can't lose money!

Instead, he sold him a favor!
This business is doing well!
However, for Yang Huan, it was also an opportunity.

The construction of the new stadium and hotel has started. According to the government's plan, the surrounding facilities have been completed, and the stadium and hotel have also benefited.

In Yang Huan's plan, once the hotel and stadium are completed, Southampton will definitely move out of St. Mary's Stadium. What will happen to St. Mary's Stadium then?Home for the youth team?
So extravagant!

Wangjiang Pavilion must also be moved to the hotel, so it will be vacant by then, so it can't be left idle, right?
The only trouble is the office in the WeChat building, but the big deal is to build one yourself, what's the problem?
Nowadays, the WeChat company is a well-known company in the whole of Britain, not to mention Southampton. The government has to support and take care of it. Building an office building is nothing more than a trivial matter.

It is believed that the Duke of Westminster came to seek opportunities for cooperation.

Maybe, this guy already knew about this plan when we first met!

"Mr. Yang Huan, we are old friends. Ming people don't talk dark words. I hope that these three pieces of land of yours can be priced into shares. Let's work together and make a fortune together!"

Yang Huan watched, the British government is building Southampton into Sanya on the south coast of the UK.

As soon as the news was announced, didn't investors all over the world flock to it?

Especially those invisible rich people in Russia, Ukraine, and the Middle East, investing in real estate and shops is their favorite thing to do, otherwise they would not directly buy dozens of shops in Knightsbridge to collect rent.

So, to some extent, this is a cheap business with low risk and high return!

Wouldn't it be a fool if someone sent money to your door and didn't agree?
"Okay, I agree!" Yang Huan nodded with a smile.

"However, let me put my ugly words first. Whether it is Wangjiang Pavilion, St. Mary's Stadium, or the WeChat headquarters building, they are not cheap!"

The Duke of Westminster chuckled, "Don't worry, I know how to do it!"

Those who do big things have to take a long-term view and plan big cakes instead of chasing small profits.

"Also, I plan to hand over this project to Xio!"

Hugh Grosvenor immediately nodded and said, "Master Huan, I'm going to make a plan and discuss it in our Saints fan club. Do you think it's okay?"

To put it bluntly, the Duke of Westminster couldn't support such a big scene by himself, so he had to invest everywhere.

The Saints fan club is full of rich second generations. Although they may not have real power, but 1000 people can make up some, and their financial resources should not be underestimated.

Of course, Yang Huan is the chairman, and if there is a project to discuss, it must be approved by the chairman, right?
"Okay, let's do it!"

"Thank you, Master Huan!"

Hugh Grosvenor also looked excited.

This is his first time alone!
