Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 431 Mira Apartment
"I really admire how those two families who have been living here have survived." Joan of Arc said subconsciously after seeing the tourists coming and going in the building as soon as she entered the door.

Although tourists' travel routes are fixed and generally do not disturb residents' lives, under normal circumstances, most people absolutely don't like a lot of strangers coming and going in the building where they live.

Soon, the two came to the third floor along the stairs and corridors and opened the door of the room that now belonged to them. When opening the door, Liang En found that even the golden doorknob was made of curves. And it fits perfectly in the hand.

Similar designs also appear in every part of the room. As the last completed building of Gaudí, this room has been devoted to the designer's efforts both in the whole and in the details.

Because the outer stone wall combined with the curved shape makes people feel that the wall is very thick, so Liang En subconsciously thought that the room would be as small and dark as an ancient castle before opening the door, but the fact is quite the opposite.

Every wall in the room is unexpectedly light, and even feels thinner than the walls of normal houses. At the same time, because of the existence of the atrium, the room can be illuminated by opening windows on both sides, so the interior looks very bright.

And judging from the introduction I took at the entrance, the reason for this is that the weight of the entire building is completely borne by the columns, neither the inner nor outer walls bear the weight of the building itself, and the building itself does not bear the weight of the building itself. main wall.

That is to say, the goal of all the walls now is to divide the space and provide corresponding functions such as heat preservation and sound insulation, so that it can naturally be repaired relatively light and thin.

Like the outside, the interior structure of the room is basically circular, while a large number of irregular curves appear, and continuous straight lines are rarely found.

Although the house had been vacant before, it was obviously cleaned frequently, and there was basically not much dust in the room.But for some reason, the whole room was dressed up like a residential house in the early 20th century.

At the beginning, Liang En thought that this was to preserve the room as it was when it was first built, but after inspection, it was discovered that only the floor tiles and decorations were old, and all kinds of furniture were newly made according to the old style.

In addition, Liang En can also confirm that it is not a simple matter to live in this room. After all, if the room has more curves than straight lines, a lot of furniture will have to be customized. big problem.

Just as Liang En and Joan of Arc were looking at this new apartment, someone knocked on the door of the room. When Liang En and the others opened the door, a middle-aged woman in business attire left Come in.

"May I ask who you are?" Looking at this woman, Liang En asked seriously, because after searching in his mind for a long time, he couldn't recall where he saw her.

"I am the representative of the foundation that is in charge of running this house. You can call me Lucy." The woman nodded to Liang En, and then said seriously, "Our foundation is now in charge of the entire La Mira The operation and maintenance work of—”

It turned out that this lady came to visit Liang En, the new landlord, on behalf of the foundation that now runs La Pedrera. She is a staff member of the foundation who is resident in this building, so when the ticket office said that Liang En and the others When it came, it immediately caught up.

For the Foundation, the less uncontrolled things like this, the better, so the first topic they talked about was to ask Liang En if he would like to sell this apartment.

Liang En's answer was of course no, because even among all the treasures in his possession, the value of this apartment was among the best, so it was naturally impossible to give up.

Of course, the more important point is that he now has enough pockets, so he can completely ignore the millions of euros that may be generated from the sale of the apartment.

And this person in charge of the foundation named Lucy has obviously done his homework in this area, and knows that in Liang En's capacity, it is basically impossible to give up such things.

So after tentative inquiries, the person in charge quickly changed his tone and asked Liang En if he would entrust this room to their foundation and run it together with other rooms.

Liang En was quite moved by this invitation.This is mainly because the property tax is basically something that cannot be escaped, especially the various taxes and insurance premiums of such an old house are terribly high.

So it would be a good thing for Liang En if someone was willing to take care of it, because it should be the safest way for him who doesn't have much time and energy to manage the property.

However, although the business model has been determined in general, there are some details that Liang En will ask further, such as the income after this kind of trusteeship and what he can do after trusteeship.

Of course, negotiations are just an intention now, and professional legal personnel are required to be in charge of formal negotiations. But correspondingly, many things can be said directly now, and there is no need to worry about asking too high conditions to scare people away.

Therefore, after simple negotiations, the two parties quickly reached a partial agreement. For example, this house will be used for display work like other houses, but Liang En is allowed to display his artistic creations in this room.

But in this way, Liang En's income after hosting is much smaller. If the operating costs of the room are excluded, he can only earn more than 3000 euros a year.

Considering that this place is Casa Mila, the hosting fee is undoubtedly extremely low, and this is the price Liang En has to pay when the other party agrees to Liang En's request.

Of course, under such circumstances, Liang En can also obtain a second income. For example, he contacted the butler Lubzon, and the other party quickly expressed his willingness to pay for the display of Liang En’s own designed jewelry here. The only requirement is to display jewelry brand.

For the earl's jewelry company, they basically don't advertise in common areas, such as the Internet or TV, which focus on high-end customization.

But this does not mean that they will not promote themselves, but for the sake of class, they can only choose a method like a high-end press conference with a clear goal but a small audience to promote.

But now, a place like Mira Apartment has given them an excellent new choice, because compared to other places, this kind of artistic place is obviously very suitable as a promotional place for jewelry, which is both high-end and artistic. .

Although the apartment has also imposed restrictions, such as not using websites, TV, radio, newspapers and other media to carry out commercial promotion, but for this kind of high-end custom jewelry, photos and posters are enough.

Of course, all of these are just temporary negotiations, and the real situation requires both parties to send legal personnel to carry out detailed negotiations before they can come up with a final contract.

But from another point of view, this kind of negotiation is equivalent to setting the framework for signing the contract later, and the subsequent negotiations will be negotiated according to the content of this framework to ensure that the general direction will not change.
