Chapter 66 Buying a Property
Cao Wenyu nodded. This was the best way. If Mohan Watkins rashly was found by the London police, it would be troublesome.
Li Zhiwen bought a villa in Bexley from a real estate agency in a suburb of London, and spent 1 million pounds. In addition, he bought two more cars, a car and a truck. After all, it takes a car to transport cultural relics.
Buying a truck will not look abrupt, it can be said that it is a house renovation.
Li Zhiwen bought not only villas, but also nearby lawn manors. The entire place covers a very wide area. Don’t doubt the purchasing power of currency in this era. It does not cost a lot of money to go out casually like later generations.
Moreover, because it was necessary to transfer antiques, he specially chose a large manor, which was eye-catching.
This is a typical 18th-century Italian-style rural castle. According to the real estate agency, it was just a hunting hut at the beginning. Later, the people who lived here gradually became rich, renovated the place many times, and hired famous architects to form what it is now.
If you make a fortune, you will decline. By the beginning of the 20th century, this family declined and their family sold the manor. After that, many people were transferred to Li Zhiwen.
The entire castle building is like the castle seen in later generations in movies. It has a total of three stories high and the residential area covers about one thousand square meters.
The castle has round towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, and low domes. The large number of columns and vaults of various shapes are used to achieve a solid, heavy, and saturated aesthetic effect. The narrow windows and the vast space inside form a strong and dim light inside, giving people a mysterious and dark feeling.
The castle is surrounded by large lawns and trees dotted in it. The path is paved with cobblestones. The flowerbeds on both sides of the path are planted with various flowers. The birds chirping on the trees, giving people a sense of tranquility.
Li Zhiwen and others walked on the path, smelling the fragrance of flowers coming, and they felt relaxed and happy.
"Brother Wen, this manor is so big and the house is so luxurious. If it is placed in Hong Kong, only a villa in the middle of the mountain can be compared with this place. In the UK, it is just an ordinary manor, which is incredible." Zhong Chuhong said.
Although she was born in a small family, she had seen a luxury house in Hong Kong. In her eyes, the luxury house in Hong Kong was completely incomparable to this place.
At the same time, Li Zhiwen's value has been refreshed again. The people who can easily take out one million pounds to buy a house are completely beyond her thinking. If it were exchanged for Hong Kong dollars, it would be more than 8 million, would he like him? Zhong Chuhong was a little unconfident.
"Ah Hong, you can't compare that way. There is no comparison. Hong Kong's population is more than 5 million, which is perfect for every inch of land. The population of Bexley is less than 200,000, while the entire UK is only 50 million. Moreover, there are too many wealthy people in the UK and there are many luxury houses, so it is reasonable not to highlight this house." Li Zhiwen didn't know what Zhong Chuhong was thinking, he just said truthfully.
After walking around for a while, it was getting late, Li Zhiwen said, "It's getting late, let's cook together. We need to do it ourselves for a long time. Today, I will also let you taste my skills."
"Oh, boss, you can cook too, I'll help you." Cao Wenyu said. After so long together, Cao Wenyu also knew that Li Zhiwen was not a person with airs, so he dared to joke with Li Zhiwen when he was working.
"No problem, just look at it." Li Zhiwen said. This time, only bodyguards such as Zhong Chuhong and Cao Wenyu came to the manor with Li Zhiwen. As for Zhao Hezhuo, they didn't bring them. After all, they had other tasks, and Zhu Yaofei monitored them in the hotel to prevent unnecessary troubles.
However, Li Zhiwen felt that it was not very safe in a hotel. There were thirty people coming and going, including Zhao Hezhuo and Zhu Yaofei's people, and they were all Chinese faces, so they would inevitably be suspected. So when buying a house, they rented a villa in London, which was around the City of London for seed fund operation.
When buying a house, the agent asked him if he needed a chef and a butler. Li Zhiwen thought about it and refused his help.
After all, their situation cannot be recruited by chefs and housekeepers. The most important thing to keep it secret is Cao Wenyu and others have been tested, while Zhong Chuhong and Li Zhiwen have long regarded her as their woman and do not have to hide it from her.
After more than an hour of busy work, everyone finally prepared the food. Naturally, Li Zhiwen and Zhong Chuhong were the main players, while the others were responsible for taking action.
