The motorcade only drove for more than thirty minutes. With Candy as the guide, the motorcade drove directly to the villa of the Russian rich man.
"arrive."
Candy looked out the window and said to the two people beside him with a smile.
The three of them got out of the car, facing blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by neatly manicured lawns and lush green trees.
Foreign countries are vast and sparsely populated, and so is this area.
Several villas are not far apart and are in the most common Tudor style in the London countryside.
But it looks like it has been around for a while.
Many wealthy people buy villas not for living, but more for investment.
"Chen, what do you think?"
Candy pointed to the Tudor-style villa not far away and introduced: "The villa is not small in size. It has eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a swimming pool in the back. However, it needs to be renovated after buying it."
The three of them strolled on the lawn. Although the Russian rich man had never stayed here, someone was sent to mow the lawn regularly.
Surrounded by lush greenery, the environment is pretty good and quiet enough, but it can only be considered good.
There are other villas blocking the front and back, so privacy is difficult to guarantee.
"Do you know the owners of these villas?"
Chen Dongcheng pointed to several villas in front and behind, frowning slightly.
"They are basically used for investment. This kind of multi-million pound mansion is not affordable for ordinary people."
Candy nodded, but he didn't quite understand what this oriental rich man was thinking.
"That'll be easy. I plan to buy all these villas, then demolish them all and convert them into driveways and lawns!"
Chen Dongcheng pointed to several villas with satisfaction and said to Candy and Lewis beside him.
"What?"
Both Lewis and Candy are somewhat doubtful about life.
Candy even reminded: "Chen, these four villas are worth a total of 20 million pounds. Are you sure they will all be demolished?"
"Of course, I don't want any annoying neighbors around."
Chen Dongcheng nodded naturally and asked with a smile: "Can you handle it?"
"Leave it to me."
Candy nodded seriously, admiring this oriental rich man even more.
Not only is he rich in financial resources, but his courage is also unparalleled.
Lewis couldn't help but swallowed, this young man must be too fierce.
The 20-million-dollar mansion will be demolished immediately!
I happen to have a developer like Candy around me, and Candy is very good at renovating luxury homes.
Chen Dongcheng directly described his plan for the manor to Candy.
Candy had to ask the bodyguard to go to the car to take out a notebook and record it quickly.
After Chen Dongcheng finished speaking, Candy made statistics. Lewis came over to take a look and was stunned.
The four surrounding villas, worth 20 million pounds, need to be demolished.
The main building of the manor, worth 30 million pounds, needs to be completely demolished and rebuilt, with an estimated cost of 60 million pounds.
Not far away, two independent Tudor-style villas worth tens of millions of pounds were built, using a palace-style architectural style with red brick exterior walls.
And it needs to be equipped with a constant-temperature swimming pool, underground gym and parking lot, etc., specially used to entertain relatives, friends and guests.
It is estimated that it will cost 4 million pounds to build two villas for servants around the manor, one for male servants and one for maids.
In other words, if you want to realize Chen Dongcheng's manor dream, you will need to invest at least more than 100 million pounds.
The specific cost will have to be calculated after construction.
Even billionaires like Lewis and Candy, who are worth a lot of money, would not be willing to invest so much.
Even the villa built for the servants cost two million pounds, which is really luxurious.
Even Candy rarely received such a large order, and he couldn't help but lament the wealth of the rich in the East.
But Candy also agrees with Chen Dongcheng's philosophy that such a manor can be passed on to future generations.
This is much more reliable than buying a villa in urban London.
"Chen, building the manor, including the demolition of other villas you proposed, will take time, and it is expected to be no less than three years."
Candy didn't dare to guarantee it, so he could only give a rough estimate of the time.
"Three years?"
Chen Dongcheng frowned slightly, obviously this time was a bit long.
"No matter how fast it is, I can't guarantee the construction quality. You are Lewis's friend, and I don't want to disappoint you."
Candy spread his hands: "I have been working on my manor for three years and it is not over yet. But with experience, your manor should be faster."
"Okay, I will send someone to contact you."
Although Chen Dongcheng relied on Lewis's recommendation, he would also send someone to supervise it.
"no problem."
Candy received a big order and found a restaurant with a good reputation.
The three of them finished their meal and separated.
…
After a busy day outside, as soon as Chen Dongcheng returned to the villa, butler Brown immediately took the suit and handed him a hot towel.
"Mr. Chen, the water temperature has been adjusted."
"Um."
Chen Dongcheng nodded with a smile, followed the maid up to the second floor, and took a pleasant bath.
Then he went to the master bedroom and looked at Zhuang Manting who was sleeping soundly.
When Zhuang Manting woke up, although she was a little curious, she didn't ask.
"I went to see the house today."
Chen Dongcheng planned to communicate with Zhuang Manting in advance. If Zhuang Manting had any ideas, it would be easier to communicate with Candy.
"house?"
Zhuang Manting was stunned for a moment, "The villa we live in is already big enough, do we need to change it?"
"It's too small. I bought a villa in the suburbs of London. I plan to demolish all the surrounding villas and build a manor of our own..."
After Chen Dongcheng finished telling Zhuang Manting his thoughts, he waited for Zhuang Manting's reply.
"I listen to you."
Zhuang Manting smiled and shook her head. To her, it didn't matter where she lived.
As long as there is Chen Dongcheng and the unborn child around, it will be fine.
"But it will take a little longer, at least three years."
Chen Dongcheng was a little helpless, but he didn't think much about it.
This villa is quite comfortable to live in, and there is no rush to move in once it is completed.
After thinking about it, Chen Dongcheng hugged Zhuang Manting and whispered between husband and wife.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
Butler Brown knocked on the door: "Sir, Madam, I have asked someone to prepare dinner."
"Okay, let's go down now."
Chen Dongcheng responded and helped Zhuang Manting out of the room.
The villa has an elevator, so Zhuang Manting doesn't have to go downstairs.
When we come to the restaurant on the first floor, it is 40 to 50 square meters.
Three or four maids were busy serving the dishes, and exquisite dishes were presented one after another on exquisite porcelain plates.
Chen Dongcheng has never been harsh on his own appetite.
Butler Brown also knows Chen Dongcheng's taste very well.
In terms of food, everything that can be bought in London, no matter how expensive, is stocked in the villa.
Coupled with the chef's extraordinary cooking skills, Chen Dongcheng and Zhuang Manting have a big appetite.
Pregnant women eat a lot of food. For Zhuang Manting, Brown specially asked the chef to make extra food to ensure it is both delicious and nutritious.
