Chapter 1348: Buying a luxury house in Repulse Bay
There are many luxury houses in Taipingshan now, and most of them are British people. Only a few Chinese are allowed to buy property here.
The Chinese tradition is to be hardworking, frugal and willing to work hard.
Over the years, many Chinese wealthy people have emerged on Hong Kong Island.
When you have money, you naturally want to enjoy life and improve your quality of life, and the first thing to do is your accommodation.
Of course the housing in Taipingshan is good, but even if the Chinese have money, they are not allowed to buy housing here, so the Chinese choose other places to build luxury homes for the rich.
Repulse Bay is such a gathering area for luxury homes, and it is also a gathering area for wealthy Chinese.
Duan Hongxuan, accompanied by Thomas, returned to the Central District Police Station. The secretary of the police station, Irina, had already prepared the information on Repulse Bay.
Duan Hongxuan thanked Irina politely, took the information and planned to leave.
But Thomas, who had just witnessed Duan Hongxuan's various performances, would not want to miss this opportunity to please Duan Hongxuan.
Thomas had taken such a trip just now, and Thomas had seen everything that happened.
Robert drove along Repulse Bay Road to Happy Valley. Cai Yanmin told Robert: "Officer Robert, you have worked hard today. Just stay outside. If you want to go around Hong Kong Island alone."
Of course, if Officer Robert doesn’t have time, I hope he can also appreciate it!”
Thomas selected the two villas and discussed with the property management company whether they could be separated from each other, remove part of the surrounding walls, and then enclose the two villas individually in a small area from the inside.
The property developer was in a dilemma, but Robert, who came with him, was not at all embarrassed. When he saw this, he immediately patted his chest and assured me that he would leave that matter to me.
Seeing Thomas turning the corner, Robert excitedly clenched his fists and waved them repeatedly, shouting excitedly: "Yes!", then got out of the car and went straight to the police station.
The current Repulse Bay was developed in the early 1970s, and was gradually put on the market in 1977 to allow occupancy. It is still being developed and sold today.
There were only a few villas in that area, and Thomas took a fancy to two of them. With a wave of his hand, he proudly took them.
Without Mr. Director's intervention, enclosing land and occupying public areas would be nothing more than a problem.
"It is your honor to serve you!"
Although the current Repulse Bay has not been developed on a small scale like in its previous life, it is beginning to take shape.
After ransacking Taipingshan, Thomas robbed tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in cash alone, including US dollars, pounds, various jewelry and gold bars.
Things get complicated next. Thomas collects the key and the villa is ready-made. As long as it is complicatedly decorated and equipped with furniture and various daily necessities, it cannot be moved in.
When Robert heard this, he was so angry that he had to give himself a slap in the face. Yes, the distinguished Mr. Duan bought a house and naturally needed a car. How could he have thought of it? Damn it!
After speaking, Robert turned to the several property owners around him and said with a serious face: "Have they all heard it? Immediately follow Mr. Duan's request to demolish the wall that needs to be demolished, build the wall in the inner wall, and do the enclosure immediately.
At the same time, the property manager was also very surprised. The handsome Chinese young man behind him with extraordinary temperament also knew his identity. He could actually let a ghost policeman serve him diligently. Since we were growing up in Hong Kong Island, we have only
I have seen Chinese people serving ghost guys, but this was the first time I saw ghost guys serving Chinese people. It was really weird.
"You are worried. As soon as I receive your call, you personally take someone to deliver the car to your home!"
Coupled with Duan Hongxuan's actions just now, most of the top brass in the police force, including the Commissioner of Police, owe Duan Hongxuan a huge favor.
Robert was very proactive and volunteered to drive to Cai Yanmin himself. Cai Yanmin pretended to be reserved and declined a little, then he showed helplessness but nodded with satisfaction.
Robert quickly nodded seriously: "Mr. Duan, you are worried, you must bring your flowers.
To occupy a public area, the developer must carefully surround it with a wall. The residential buildings we develop there have been delayed in reporting to the Housing Department. If there are lots that have not been reported, we can occupy them, so
It is illegal. Even if it is occupied, if the Housing Department finds out, it will face a huge fine and the illegal land must be demolished.
For now, let's limit it to the police officers you've seen today, such as Officer Henry.
However, if you want to make a small fanfare for the time being, the scale of the dinner party will be too small, so the number of friends you need to introduce is too small, and it cannot be large-scale.
However, Thomas' gestures, words, and deeds all showed the noble temperament of an ordinary family. In addition, there was a low-level superintendent of ghosts waiting attentively next to him. Therefore, the property management company did not refuse, but patiently asked him.
Thomas explains.
The property manager only needs to construct the land enclosure according to his requirements, and then prepare the land occupation materials that meet the requirements, and leave the rest to me!"
After selling a house for so many years, this is the first time for those of us to encounter such a thing, which is an eye-opener.
After a while, the manager led Robert back. The manager who accompanied him looked at Cai Yanmin with a surprised look on his face.
The real estate agent who accompanied Cai Yanmin to make a phone call just now could hear clearly that the ghost police superintendent first called some director, and then the person on the other end of the phone was replaced by the police commissioner.
I'm sure we don't have any suitable friends willing to introduce you, and you'd be happy to welcome them.
"Mr. Duan, I'll leave the car to you. Do you know that you don't have a model that you don't like?"
Thomas shook his head: "The cars outside Hong Kong Island are just like that. There is a saying that what you like is what you like. For the time being, let's buy a few cars with less difference for transportation!
"Thank you, Officer Robert!" Thomas nodded with satisfaction, "You are just taking up Officer Cai Yanmin's working time!"
Robert suspected that if the director knew that it was Mr. Duan's request, I would definitely do my best to get it done.
Thomas believed that Duan Hongxuan would soon become the target of the entire British elite in Hong Kong.
He will help you choose the right one first, and you will call him when you have arranged your home!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thomas made the registration complex, took the keys to several properties and left with Robert.
At this time, if Thomas didn't know how to seize the opportunity to take advantage of me and leave a bad impression on Thomas, my young life would have been in vain.
Those who stand less ground will naturally have to pay extra, so now you have to pay a small amount first, and then you will pay less and make up more later.
There is no problem with the property, because according to Thomas's request, it means that in addition to the scope included by the two villas themselves, it must also occupy a large public area, even smaller than the two villas themselves.
From the perspective of the real estate agent, it was not a reasonable and difficult request at all. I thought of the ghost guy next to me patting my chest and making a small package.
The original excessive demands like Thomas's were completely unreasonable if they were transferred to someone else's property.
Repulse Bay is located in the south of Hong Kong Island, southeast of Victoria Peak.
It's the 1980s, and Repulse Bay is said to be a wealthy area, but in Cai Yanmin's view, the current high housing prices are really cheap.
Two villas are just that, plus the extra land required, the first estimate is that it is enough to pay a little over two million. According to the property management, the difference should be enough.
Thomas got into the car and said goodbye to Robert. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something again. He turned around and said to Robert, who was still standing by the car watching me: "Officer Cai Yanmin, I don't know if I can cause any trouble."
As soon as he comes!"
Robert looked happy: "Dear Mr. Duan, Director Duan Hongxuan doesn't know about that matter yet. During the phone call, Director Duan Hongxuan told you that there are problems whether he wants to occupy the small land.
Ask him to return to the police station and tell Director William and Director Duan Hongxuan that before you clean up the house in those days, you will hold a dinner outside the house. Please be sure to appreciate it!
Cai Yanmin waved his hand and issued a cash check for eight million.
Well, just eight cars for the time being!
Occupying public land may not be difficult for others, but it is a problem for the police commissioner who holds a small amount of power.
After receiving the cash check from HSBC, several property owners knew that they had met a young rich man.
Robert was so happy that he even had to change his clothes, so he put on the uniform of a low-level police superintendent, found a big car, and respectfully opened the car door for Thomas in front of the surprised and surprised eyes of everyone in the police station.
He sat down in the driver's seat and drove out of the police station.
As for the other small figures in the business and political circles, it is convenient for me to contact them for the time being, so I won’t have the chance until now!”
The two villas are adjacent to each other. Each villa covers a large area and there are no public areas in between.
The Housing Department doesn't have a director to communicate with them, so they just need to prepare bad information!"
You think Director William and Mr. Cai Yanmin will be very honored to attend your dinner."
Robert asked the property manager to give me a phone number. I knew that Thomas's request could be fulfilled by me as a low-level superintendent, but I couldn't call the director, so I asked the director to tell the director.
"Thank you! You suddenly remembered how many more cars you need!"
Thomas read the information and conducted an on-site inspection accompanied by Cai Yanmin, and finally selected a satisfactory location.
Ask him to tell Director William and Director Duan Hongxuan that after you have arranged the accommodation in those days, if it is convenient for us, you will entertain us at home.
Robert felt a little happy in his heart and hurriedly bent down and said over and over: "Thank you very much, Mr. Duan. It would be your honor if you are willing to visit Mr. Duan!"
The property manager is not puzzled at all, not even disdainful. Even if he is a ghost, even if he is a low-level police superintendent, he can still do that kind of thing as a ghost superintendent. So he is just afraid of blowing his cover.
!
As for building a wall to enclose the land, it will affect the villa.
Thomas nodded. Duan Hongxuan parked the car on the side of the road and diligently came over to help Thomas open the door.
Please tell Director William and Director Duan Hongxuan that you have just arrived in Hong Kong Island and you still know too few people there.
Cai Yanmin spent the money he got for free from robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
The next step is to say something bad, pay the money and go through the formalities.
Police Commissioner Robert had clearly met Duan Hongxuan on some important occasion before, and Duan Hongxuan had come into contact with important figures that even Robert was not qualified to contact.
After saying that, Thomas turned and left, and Robert just stood next to the cart and watched Thomas off.
Thomas nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, Officer Cai Yanmin, and thank you to Director William and Director Duan Hongxuan.
It was such a rare sight that the Chinese property owners felt a sense of uncomfortable pride.
The property only needs to be enclosed and constructed in accordance with Thomas's requirements. As for the less-occupied lots, the developer only needs to prepare bad information. I will handle the communication and reporting of the Housing Department to ensure that there are no problems.
