The rich man at Lin Qishan's stage has a different focus than that of ordinary people!

Of course, he did not buy a house for single living.

Because of the convenience of travel and even private jets, these rich people often like to buy property globally, buy an apartment in London, buy a villa in Malibu, and buy an island in Florida...just for fun!

Because the luxury house they bought may not be able to live in the last time a year, there was news that a wealthy man in the Middle East saw that an apartment on the streets of London was good, so he asked his subordinates to find a way to buy it.

As a result, after a search, my subordinate came back and told the rich man: You bought this apartment and the two nearby ones three years ago!

So for people like them, the greater significance is to be fun, to play the house with your own tricks and design your own paradise without following the rules and restrictions.

Lin Qishan has this mentality. He doesn’t plan to live overseas for a long time, but people need to be adjusted. Occasionally, they have to stay for a week, or have to spend some shopping!

Just like when I bought a car on a whim, you have to have a garage, right? I bought so many clothes, shoes, jewelry, and large bags and small bags for Zhao Xunmei, so I have to take them all back, so I naturally have to have a place to put them.

So the second purpose of the house is to put clothes and jewelry and be a luxury car garage! So the space should be large and there are more places where you can freely use the design!

He told Fu Feiyang all these ideas to the recommended property consultant.

This immigrant Chinese lady was not surprised at all when she heard the exaggeration of these typical rich people. It was not the first time she heard similar requests. She was very skilled: "You can see Richmond Park, which is a suburb of London, with excellent living facilities and not far from the city center..."

Lin Qishan went online first and looked at it. He thought about the location and facilities with Zhao Xunmei. It felt very good all the way, so he made an appointment to drive to visit the site.

It is a thirty or forty minutes drive from the city center, and it feels like the Xishan Villa District in Yanjing, the Green Water and Green Mountain Golf Course, which is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, but it is not too far from the downtown city.

As a famous wealthy area in London, Richmond has a rich and comprehensive living and entertainment configuration, including a variety of tennis and football clubs, golf courses, shopping centers, restaurants and bars.

The surrounding parks are full of green spaces, and there is also the largest nature reserve in London, with wild deer frequently appearing. The crime rate is also the lowest in London, which is suitable for rich people like him who occasionally show off.

After all, public security abroad is different from domestic security. Whether they are safe depends on the region. The richer the place, the better the public security; conversely, the poorer the place, the more chaotic it will be.

Such a quiet and elegant place with a lot of business, Lin Qishan feels that it is quite good to come here to stay for a week or two occasionally. If you want to go to the city center, it will only take half an hour to drive.

Since I feel the location is suitable, the next thing is how to buy and build it!

First of all, Lin Qishan thought about the kind that could play football in the whole big yard.

To put it bluntly, it is a manor, but it cannot be too far from the city center. He is not really going to experience country life. The surrounding facilities are not rich, so he loses the meaning of vacation and entertainment.

In fact, there are not many manors in London, some of which are various royal palaces, Hampton Palace, Kensington Palace, these royal families or large houses related to the royal family.

But Lin Qishan's request was simple. He knew that this was London, where every inch of land was valuable, so he only sought a large house about an hour away from the city center.

So the property consultant recommended a place: on the banks of the Thames River west of Richmond, there is a house covering an area of ​​3.5 acres, which is decades old, but not a cultural relic building!

Here we will say that the life of the manor, castle and aristocratic people long for is not necessarily as beautiful as they imagined, because these hundreds of years of buildings are often protected cultural relics.

You can buy, sell and live, but if you want to decorate, you have to apply to the government! Changes in appearance are often not approved! For example, if you want to repair a central air conditioner, you need to drill many holes, so sorry, it has destroyed the cultural relics!

On the other hand, it would give Lin Qishan enough room to play even if it was pushed back and rebuilt, it would be fine!

So Lin Qishan’s first feeling is that the purpose is suitable and can be made for himself!

So the second is to visit the site.

On the way, the lady was flipping through its information: "After World War II, the owner of the house was a wealthy businessman at first, but later the family was backward and he changed hands several times. The current one is owned by a company. I bought it before and wanted to use it for a developer, but because of business problems, I have not started construction for several years, so I am eager to turn over and sell it for money."

During the chat, they found the house.

It is surrounded by residential and commercial areas, and it is quite popular. It is not that I imagine that the desolation of people cannot be seen in the suburbs and countryside. After all, this is a wealthy area, and every inch of land has value.

Although the house was left for a while, it was well maintained. After the door was opened, there were stone-paved driveways on both sides. In front of it was a large Victorian-style house, with long strips and large spires, so it was two and a half stories high.

There is a dry fountain in front of the building. The statue was drenched in the sun and rain and lost its luster. It stepped on the steps polished by the years and pushed open two doors and walked in. The transparent design made the air in the house quite good.

There are marble floors with years of age under my feet, and there are a lot of solid wood home decorations, giving people the feeling of being a very traditional British style. If you repair it carefully, it will be better than the Ritz Hotel!

There is a large corridor on both sides of the house. It is taller than six meters tall, and it feels very solemn and grand. The ceiling above the head is painted and a few sets of knight armor on both sides will look like a palace!

At the east end of the corridor is a cinema that can accommodate thirty or forty people, with a step-like shape that is very immersive; at the west end is a spacious banquet hall, with sunlight passing through the two-story windows, making the house bright.

Obviously, the owner of the house considered modern enjoyment at the beginning of the design and was deeply loved by Lin Qishan, because if the house was too old, it would be too difficult to renovate!

If it is a building like a hundred or two hundred years old, they may not even have a toilet! Typically, such as the Palace of Versailles, such a large palace, if people living inside are anxious, they are said to be looking for grass!

The second floor of the house is for residential purposes, with more than 20 rooms with various functions. In terms of capacity, it is not big or small, and it will not echo when walking empty, but it will not be too small and without style.

Behind the house is the garden. The flat lawn looks green, with dense old trees planted on both sides. The backyard is very superior. According to the area of ​​3.5 acres, it is equivalent to 21 acres of land in China!

In the saying that farmers pursue one acre and three parts, 21 acres of land are used as lawns and gardens, and it is really considered that the mountain is a happy little landlord!

The most important thing is that Lin Qishan can really drive a Rolls-Royce to drift on it! This area is no small, equivalent to the size of two standard football fields!

There is no problem with landing helicopters. The British garden will be repaired later. These bushes that are more than people can be surrounded by them. They can be played as mazes!

There is a maze at home, which is the dream of many people in childhood! Raising a few black and long-legged Doberman, driving a golf electric car to walk the dog in your backyard is perfect!

Lin Qishan looked around and really liked it.

Now the price is almost the price.

The property consultant told him: "The holder offers a price of 20 million pounds. Here I need to remind you that the average price of property transactions around is 800,000 pounds. According to the area of ​​the area, it is equivalent to 18-20 villas, so there is a certain premium for the total price."

House prices in the suburbs of West London, with a single-family villa with a yard, are better than one million, and you can get it for 600,000 or 700,000 yuan. Don’t see 20 million and feel that other villas are not expensive. The average annual income in London is 30,000 pounds!

This is only less than 3,000 yuan a month. According to the consumption habits of Westerners who cannot save money, it is quite difficult for young people to buy a house here without their parents’ help!

Thanks to its characteristics and location, this small manor is naturally more expensive than a villa group with the same area, because there are only a few people who can enjoy manor life in the suburbs of London!

After some consideration, Lin Qishan still wanted to win.

£20 million in central London, such as 1 Hyde Park, you can only buy a 400-square-meter apartment, but here you can change to a small manor!
