My Life Can Hang

The living room and dining room are directly connected, and Gaggenau's built-in refrigerator is quietly placed there.

The design of the smart study room is very novel, and the wrap-around bookcase is full of style.

Due to the height limit in London, the basements of many luxury houses can be said to be racking the brains of designers.

This luxury house is no exception. There is a 14-meter-long heated swimming pool with a jacuzzi in the basement.

There is a small bar by the pool, think about sitting there for a drink when you are tired from swimming.

Watching the beloved woman swim comfortably in the pool...

Chen Dongcheng suddenly woke up and was almost corrupted by this extravagance of his pure heart.

What a pool party, I never thought about it...

Chen Dongcheng quickly turned his eyes away and did not dare to look at the swimming pool again.

Other designs are still worthy of the top luxury standard.

Ten bedrooms, each with a suite design.

A very formal home bar with a wine storage room that can hold about three or four thousand bottles of good wine.

All kinds of gyms, saunas, game rooms, home video rooms, everything is available.

What Chen Dongcheng likes most is the underground garage of the villa.

The hydraulic lift can accommodate four cars, and the underground garage is located behind glass windows in the passage.

Think about you going for a swim in the heated swimming pool, holding a glass of the best vintage of the five wineries, looking at the supercar in your name behind the glass window...

It is estimated that this should be the life that most people dream of.

After Chen Dongcheng read it, he immediately made up his mind, and that's it.

the price...

When a man buys himself a beloved gift, he still needs to look at the price?

chapter 296. 295, the boring life of the rich

Now that you are satisfied with the house, the remaining question is to negotiate the price.

Buying a house in London has a very disgusting unspoken rule.

Many intermediaries will deliberately raise the price, such as the 3000 million pounds quoted by Dylan, there is a lot of water in it.

It's true that house prices in St John's Wood are rising fast, but not to that extent.

Chen Dongcheng nodded to Luo Jiehui, and Luo Jiehui took Dylan aside and began to negotiate fiercely.

Among the members of the think tank, Luo Jiehui is very good at the legal business of investment and mergers and acquisitions.

It is naturally the most appropriate to leave this kind of thing to Luo Jiehui.

Chen Dongcheng sat on the sofa, the bald man hesitated, but still didn't stop him.

Luo Jiehui, who is having a heated discussion on the side, undoubtedly represents that the rich man in front of him has a strong willingness to buy.

A character like Dylan can be bullied by bald men for some favors.

But a rich man like Chen Dongcheng didn't see the ferocious bodyguards around him.

Bald men don't want to try to get beaten up.

After chatting for half an hour, Luo Jiehui walked over to Chen Dongcheng with a satisfied smile to report.

"Boss, I'm asking you for £2700 million, which I think is very reasonable considering the scarcity of St John's Wood and the preservation of value as a top luxury home."

Chen Dongcheng nodded and asked, "In addition to this total price, what fees do I need to pay?"

"Due to the special UK policy, I recommend that you purchase this property with an offshore company.

The property is over £50 and is subject to 15% stamp duty.

But in this way, the privacy of your property will be very good.

And there will be no inheritance tax, and many rich people will use this method to purchase. "

Luo Jiehui paused and said: "It is said that the United Kingdom intends to adopt a new stamp duty policy, but it will take next year to implement it.

I would recommend that you choose to start now, as house prices in the St. John's Wood area should continue to rise next year. "

This is the role of a think tank, which is very professional and can provide Chen Dongcheng with the most accurate judgment.

Chen Dongcheng waved his hand: "Just do as you said."

Luo Jiehui took the lead and took Dylan and the bald man out of the house to sign a specific agreement.

Chen Dongcheng looked at this villa, which was different from domestic houses.

This type of villa in the UK is basically a freehold property.

Unlike in China, there is still a 70-year limit.

In the UK, this kind of villa purchased by Chen Dongcheng can be passed down from generation to generation.

When it comes to villas in the UK, everyone's mind is probably full of images of busy housekeepers and servants.

I have to say that the world of the rich is really extravagant to ordinary people can't imagine.

For a mansion like the one purchased by Chen Dongcheng, the rich usually employ no less than fifteen servants to serve them.

There are people who clean the room, iron the clothes in the cabinet, do the laundry, and walk the dog...

Of course, there must be those British butlers with aristocratic temperament in Downton Abbey.

Imagine you wake up every morning and your butler will hand you a cup of hot tea.

He will also iron the newspaper, put it at the table, and prepare a hearty breakfast for you...

But in the UK, housekeepers are not cheap.

Basically, their annual salary is around £[-].

If you meet a housekeeper who has left the royal family, the salary is even higher.

Even with an annual salary of 50 pounds, many wealthy people are willing to hire them just to experience the dignity of the royal family.

Usually, these rich people can stay in the UK for less than a month a year.

But the tongue cost millions of pounds to support a large group of servants.

It is usually the rich with a net worth of more than one billion pounds that is so extravagant.

When Luo Jiehui signed the contract with Dylan, Dylan held Chen Dongcheng's hand and thanked him.

According to the British intermediary fee standard, Dylan can get a commission of about 15 pounds from the transaction of this house.

One step closer to buying the apartment of his dreams.

Luo Jiehui was busy going through the transaction procedures, sending money to the real estate developer in Greece through the offshore company, paying the stamp duty, and applying for the real estate certificate...

Xie Jingyu was not idle, and was assigned by Chen Dongcheng to find an intermediary agency.

See if there are any housekeepers who have left the British royal family.

It is a pity that for many intermediaries, there is not one housekeeper of this level in a year.

Even if there is a resignation, there is basically no contact with the agency.

Through the contacts accumulated during the royal service, they will find their favorite employers and then change jobs.

In the end, an intermediary agency recommended a candidate. After reading the information, Chen Dongcheng was a little interested.

The housekeeper recommended by the agency was named Brown Pullman.

Brown has been a housekeeper for more than 20 years and has rich experience.

Several previous employers have praised him very much.

The departure comes after the previous employer sold the London property.

Several rich people are already considering Brown.

Chen Dongcheng believes that the loyalty of the housekeeper is far more important than other abilities.

Chen Dongcheng doesn't necessarily stay in London for a long time in a year.

A butler with loyal qualities will undoubtedly be more trusted by Chen Dongcheng.

When I met Brown, he was wearing a black suit jacket.

The white shirt, tie, and waistcoat inside, meet the standard of a housekeeper.

The black leather shoes are also polished and shiny, and the hairstyle is meticulously groomed.

Looking at the data, Brown is 45 years old this year, which is the best age group in the butler profession.

Brown allowed Chen Dongcheng to look at himself, with a straight waist and a straight posture.

"Character: Brown Pullman"

"Skills: expert housekeeper, clothing matching expert, etiquette expert"

"Loyalty: 0"

"Evaluation: Excellent ability, trustworthy gold medal steward, the other party expects a salary of 15 pounds - 20 pounds"

Chen Dongcheng glanced at him and saw that he had two expert-level abilities.

Brown's expected compensation is higher, which is normal.

As for loyalty, since an employment relationship has not yet been formed, there is naturally no loyalty.

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "The agency has a very high evaluation of you, but I hope I can try to get along with you for a week.

Of course, I will pay you the corresponding salary. "

Brown asked calmly: "I want to know how much you are willing to pay me?"

Butlers like Brown, who are already well-known in the industry, have no shortage of employers.
