We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Currently, Su Cheng has over 63 million pounds in his hands, a substantial amount of capital.

He certainly wouldn't spend that much in the next World Cup, so he could spend freely.

If he were to bet it all, unless he spread it across dozens of betting companies, the betting companies wouldn't have enough funds to pay out his winnings, and such a result would only make Su Cheng known to the public.

He wants to make money, but he also needs to be discreet.

For this World Cup, he's content with earning around 500 million pounds; any more than that, and he'd be more afraid of the British government targeting him than the betting companies.

For the next match, he will still bet the same amount as the previous one.

"Uncle Chu, please help me contact the seller. If it's suitable, I'll pay the full amount for the building at any time," Su Cheng said directly.

"Alright, I'll call him now. He's a business partner of mine who urgently needs funds due to a recent investment failure, so he wants to sell a building property he owns. Transactions like these involving large sums of money make it difficult to find a suitable buyer quickly, so he's selling it at a 20% discount," Chu Xuanyu said with a smile.

After speaking, Chu Xuanyu returned to his private office and made a phone call.

Su Cheng and Yu Xing waited in the tea room, drinking tea.

After a while, Chu Xuanyu returned to the tea room.

"I've already arranged it with him. He's driving to the building now. I'll take you over there," Chu Xuanyu said.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Chu," Su Cheng nodded.

Su Cheng wasn't worried about Chu Xuanyu colluding with others to cheat him. After all, Yu Xing had been in London for over a decade and knew the market environment very well. As for property prices and such, he would definitely be very clear about them.

Besides, they had agreed on 80% of the market price, so there was no need to offer a discount if they wanted to cheat him.

He saw that the building's shape was square and upright, with its body gradually shrinking from bottom to top. Overall, it was quite conventional.

"This building is called Riverside Mansion. It's 21 stories high and was built in 1972, so it's still relatively new. As for more detailed parameters, you can ask the building's owner later," Chu Xuanyu said with a smile, seeing Su Cheng carefully examining the building's exterior.

Su Cheng nodded and said to Chu Xuanyu, "The exterior looks okay. Let's go meet its owner first."

The elevator went from the first floor to the top floor.

Greeting them was a white-haired old man in his sixties, who warmly greeted Chu Xuanyu and the others when he saw them.

Afterward, the old white man took them on a tour of the house, while also proudly introducing some of the building's features.

The old white man's name was Goss York, and he was Welsh.

Here, it had been transformed into a duplex double-story private mansion, complete with a garden and a swimming pool. From the terrace, one could clearly overlook the entire London Thames River.

Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the Palace of Westminster, the British Museum, and so on, could all be seen very clearly.

And the building was only a dozen meters away from the London Thames River embankment.

It was evident that the building's location was truly excellent.

Su Cheng liked this place at first sight.

If he were to buy this building, it could serve as his private residence.

"Mr. Su, my building is worth about 12 million pounds according to the market price. If I hadn't encountered financial difficulties, I wouldn't have considered selling it. If you're interested in buying, I'll sell it to you directly for 10 million pounds, but I have a condition: you must pay the full amount directly," Goss York said at the end, stating his bottom line.

Riverside Mansion is larger than Chu Xuanyu's building and has a better location, so its market price is inevitably higher.

However, after his discount, the price is about the same as the market price of Chu Xuanyu's building.

"Mr. York, in principle, I'm quite satisfied with this price, but after all, I don't know enough about this building. Give me two days, and I'll give you an answer within two days. If there are no accidents by then, I'll directly sign a transfer contract with you, and the purchase funds will be paid directly to you!" Su Cheng thought for a moment and said.

Although he liked it very much at first sight, he also had to find out the building's condition.

For example, whether the building has been mortgaged, verifying the property rights, clarifying the building's history, understanding the building's structural condition, the building's rental situation, and so on.

These need to be investigated by professionals, so there's no need to rush.

"Mr. York, this is my nephew. You can rest assured about his situation," Chu Xuanyu said with a smile from the side at this time.

"Of course, I trust Mr. Chu. Alright, then I'll wait for Mr. Su for two days. If Mr. Su hasn't replied after two days, I'll look for other buyers, because I'm currently very anxious to sell it and can't wait too long," Goss York said seriously.

Su Cheng then conducted a preliminary understanding of the detailed information of Riverside Mansion. From a general perspective, there was nothing wrong with this building. The specific situation would have to wait for the investigation results to come out.

As for the investigation, it was naturally entrusted to Yu Xing to find professional personnel.

In this regard, professional home inspectors need to be investigated. During this period, Su Cheng only needs to wait patiently.

After saying goodbye to Goss York, Su Cheng returned to Chu Xuanyu's building again.

"By the way, Little Su, there's a banquet tomorrow night. It's the birthday banquet of a London business tycoon. Are you interested? If you're interested, I'll take you to have some fun. If you want to develop in London, you can accumulate some connections at these banquets," Chu Xuanyu asked Su Cheng, sitting in the tea room.

"Oh? That's no problem. I just happen to have nothing to do, so thank you very much, Uncle Chu," Su Cheng's eyes lit up and he smiled.

If Sus' Group wants to develop in Europe, it can't do much on its own.

Knowing more local influential figures will greatly help Sus' Group's future.
