Neverland Manor was built in 1981. MJ spent most of his property on the construction of this manor, and it took him seven years to complete it.
Subsequently, it was MJ's home from 1988 to 2005.
In the heyday of Neverland, in addition to MJ's home, there was also a theme park including a zoo, Ferris wheel, carousel, pirate ship, super slide and bumper cars.
MJ has lived here for more than 15 years, and everything here embodies his hard work, until he was involved in that dirty lawsuit.
Later, due to long-term lawsuits and the impact of his health, MJ's financial situation continued to deteriorate, and the ownership of this stately building fell into the hands of a California real estate company.
Since then, the scenery of Neverland Manor has ceased. Most of the amusement facilities and animals in the zoo have been taken away, and everything inside has begun to deteriorate due to lack of care.
MJ has been trying to redeem the estate, but what happened later is as everyone knows.
Although they are two different parallel worlds, in this world, MJ also did not last long. After MJ's death, the manor has been in the hands of a real estate investment company.
After MJ's death, many people and companies around him did the same.
This real estate company also plans to take advantage of MJ's death.
So after his death, the company began an unprecedented restoration of the manor and rebuilt its electrical and plumbing systems.
Their purpose is of course not to commemorate MJ, but to auction the place off.
It's just that because these greedy vampires ask too high a price, there has never been a successful auction here.
In Lin Chen's previous life, this company tried to auction this place at a reserve price of US$100 million just a few years later.
Therefore, when Lin Chen proposed the idea of buying this place to the real estate investment company through Old Tom, the other party was also very excited. He made preparations overnight and agreed to come and visit today.
Not long after, the motorcade arrived at the entrance of the manor.
It is said that there was originally a NEVERRAND sign with gold on a black background hanging at the main entrance of Neverland Manor. Unfortunately, Lin Chen and the others did not see it when they came over.
At the entrance of the manor, a group of people in suits and ties have been waiting here for a long time.
When they saw Lin Chen's motorcade, they first confirmed their identity, and then asked someone to open the door that had been closed for a long time.
Ever since MJ's death, Neverland, which has had no guests for a long time, once again welcomed new guests.
It's a pity that things have changed and people have changed. At this time, Neverland Manor is no longer what it used to be.
Following the car of the real estate company representative, Lin Chen and the others drove all the way towards the interior of the manor.
Inside the manor, wildly growing weeds can be seen everywhere, as well as collapsed street signs due to lack of repairs, and ponds filled with fallen leaves.
On the roads in the manor, you can often see potholes and potholes due to disrepair.
This made Lin Chen's face look a little ugly.
Unexpectedly, the former residence of his favorite star would now look like this.
Fortunately, the real estate company that took over the manor did not do nothing.
Perhaps for the sake of future sale, the only two buildings in the manor are in fairly good condition.
One of these two buildings is a steam train house that is reminiscent of the Disney World Car Show.
The other building is a villa full of French Normandy country style. This villa has six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It was also the place where MJ lived for a long time.
The motorcade stopped in front of the steam train house. When Lin Chen got off the train with Taylor and Ivanka, the people from the real estate company were obviously a little surprised.
The protagonist of the Grammy kiss that made a huge fuss last night actually appeared in front of them?
However, people from these real estate companies obviously love money more than gossip, so they quickly cheered up, and one of them walked over with a smile on his face and extended his hand to Taylor.
Obviously, he regarded Taylor as a client who wanted to buy a house.
But Old Tom greeted him at this moment, and then introduced him to Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, this is the Rex manager of Croney Real Estate. Mr. Rex, this is Mr. Lin Chen, he is planning to buy Neverland."
WTF?
The person who wants to buy Neverland is actually a Chinese?
Rex was stunned for a moment, but he immediately smiled professionally.
He didn't care who wanted to buy it. Anyway, before he came here today, the other party had already paid a deposit of US$10 million.
As long as he can sell this bottomless pit that is losing money as soon as possible, he has no problem even if he sells this place to an African chief.
That's right, from the perspective of Croney Real Estate, this Neverland estate is a loser.
As for the reason, it is naturally because it is so big. The entire Neverland Manor covers an area of more than 2,000 acres, and unlike ordinary private estates, most of the more than 2,000 acres are landscaped and landscaped.
Amusement facilities.
Unlike ordinary manors, most of the area is forest, pasture, or plantation.
In other words, many places here need constant care.
The cost of taking care of these places is astronomical.
Why was MJ unable to support the manor in the first place, and why did the Croney Real Estate Company that later took over the manor allow most of the place to remain dilapidated? Isn't it because the expense was too high?
Basically, the annual maintenance cost of this manor is more than 10 million US dollars!
Even though Croney Company has cut most of the funds here, in order to ensure that the two main buildings are in good condition so that they can be auctioned off in the future, they still have to invest at least hundreds of thousands of dollars here every month.
So no matter who can buy this place, Rex will say thank you.
"Mr. Lin, I am very happy to introduce this manor to you. Since you have chosen this place, you must already know that this is MJ's former residence. The two houses next to us are where MJ and his children once lived.
place.”
"Now, please let us show you around the inside."
After that, the people from Croni Company led the way, leading Lin Chen and the others towards the main building.
The main building is large, with a total area of 12,000 square feet.
And compared to the outside, everything from the furniture to the floor, from the roof to the walls is obviously maintained by dedicated personnel. It looks as if MJ once lived here.
And in the main building, there are indeed many personal belongings of MJ placed here.
According to Croni's introduction, his company bought these from MJ's family.
As for the reason why they bought it, of course it was not to miss MJ, but simply to get a good price here.
Lin Chen walked around and confirmed that the place was in very good condition and could even be moved in at any time.
This satisfied him enough.
As for Ivanka and Taylor, Lin Chen also knew the answer from the little stars shining in their eyes.
So, after they visited the main building, when Rex proposed to take them to another villa to check out.
Lin Chen asked directly: "Okay, tell me your quotation."
Rex was shocked when he heard this.
When did the Chinese people become so rich? Now let’s just ask the price?
He smiled happily and said: "Mr. Lin, we in Croni have put in a lot of hard work after buying this place. Not only have we repaired the water pipes and electricity here, but we have also invested a lot of manpower in maintaining it..."
Lin Chen said directly to Old Tom: "Let him stop talking nonsense and quote the price."
After hearing this, Rex said: "Mr. Lin, our price for this manor is 100 million US dollars!"
