I Am a Nobleman in England

thanks. "

"Happy cooperation!"

In the meeting room, Arthur smiled and shook hands with the manager of the credit department of Barclays Bank. The subordinates behind the two were also smiling and happy for the cooperation between the two parties.

Barclays Bank has a long-term revenue partner, and Arthur has a fund pool that can borrow chickens to lay eggs, a win-win situation!

Originally, Arthur wanted to get in touch with several banks and choose the best partner from them. However, after a feeling of waiting for no one came up, Arthur had to speed up his progress. Moreover, in all the banks currently in contact with Among them, Barclays Bank is indeed very sincere, and more importantly, it is strong enough to support his acquisition ambitions.

"Send my regards to Mr. Bob Diamond. If it is convenient, I would like to meet and chat with him, and communicate with him about more cooperation between the two parties in the future."

Before he was about to leave, Arthur told the credit manager that the huge funds needed for future plans made Arthur have to communicate with the CEO of Barclays Bank and get their support.

What Arthur said made the other party slightly startled, and then said with a smile: "I will definitely bring it. If you need anything, you can call me directly. We look forward to serving you at any time."

"Thank you." After Arthur smiled and nodded to the other party, he took people out of Barclays Bank without hesitation. At that time, he also took two loans, totaling 70 million pounds, of which 20 million pounds were used on his personal credit.

Once the funds are in place, the 100-unit apartment plan can be officially implemented.

After returning to the starting point investment company in the financial city, Arthur first listened in detail to Oliver, the person in charge of the real estate investment project, about the next arrangement.

"Boss, the deposit has been paid in full. Next, we need to transfer 10% of the total price to the lawyer's trust account. At the same time, the lawyer needs to exchange the house purchase contract. You may need to sign hundreds of contracts. After the contract is signed, we will get With the real estate certificate and keys, we can pay the balance of the total house payment. After that, we can start leasing to the outside world, get rent, and the company will officially start operations.”

Since Arthur bought second-hand houses in addition to existing houses this time, there is no need to wait for the delivery time of the real estate agent. As long as the money is in place, the transaction can be completed.

"Hehe, there are two copies of the contract, hundreds of houses, not hundreds of contracts, it seems that I am busy." Arthur said with a smile, raised his hand, and turned his wrist a few times , looking a little worried and tired.

Oliver laughed too.

"The main reason is that it will take a lot of time, but I will first ask the lawyers to review all the contracts and check them clearly. At that time, you only need to sign."

"Yeah." Arthur nodded, looked at Oliver and asked with a smile, "Is there any news from Nicolas Cage?"

"Already replied, Nicolas Cage will arrive in London on the 25th to promote the upcoming movie "Mystery Code". At that time, he will find time to meet with you and sign the contract to complete the transaction."

Oliver replied, "I have sent someone to the United States to inspect the mansion, and I am preparing to receive it." Then, he took out his mobile phone, opened the video and handed it to Arthur, with a strange expression on his face , shook his head and introduced.

"This is the video that was sent back. I have to say that the actor's taste is indeed a bit different. No wonder no one cares about the repeated price cuts. This kind of decoration style is indeed daunting..."

Arthur took the phone and looked at the screen that was playing. Arthur still liked the castle architectural style of the whole mansion, especially the outer wall was covered with green vines, which looked like a castle in a fairy tale. The square at the entrance has a wide and magnificent circular driveway and a classical fountain. On the right side of the courtyard, there are two-story guest rooms independent of the mansion, and on the left side are the Olympic-standard swimming pool and private cinema.

But when he saw the decoration in the mansion, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched a few times.

This castle-style villa has a private wine cellar, a cinema, a game room, 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.

But what the hell is this weird and weird 'college frat style'? There are at least 300 framed comic book covers adorning the walls, and toy model trains laying tracks in the two bedrooms and the breakfast room. . .

Seeing the weird expression on the boss's face, Oliver smiled helplessly and said, "Although the actor's taste is a bit weird, this mansion is really worth the money. The 3,000-square-meter mansion is located in the west of Los Angeles. At the end of the avenue, the surrounding environment is beautiful and shaded by greenery. It is also far away from the hustle and bustle, and will never be disturbed by idlers."

"Hmm." As a movie fan, Arthur naturally knows about Nicolas Cage's unique hobbies, like spending money to buy dinosaur skulls, heads, haunted houses, raising octopuses, sharks, crocodiles, cobras and so on. Pyramid tombs bought by myself. . .

"After I bought it, I had someone reorganize it and clean up the mess, but the toy model trains that lay the tracks can be kept, which is quite interesting.

What about the price? "

Hearing the boss asking about the price, Oliver twitched his face unnaturally a few times. No idol or fan can't worth the real dollar. "The total price of the two sets is 19 million US dollars, which is already the lowest price the other party can accept. Now, if we talk about it again, Nicolas Cage may choose to wait for a while to find a new buyer."

"That's it..." Arthur squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, nodded and said: "That's it, after all, he is my idol, I'm sorry to bargain too hard, we still have to meet, we must keep a good time Impress the other party."

"..." Oliver squeezed a sneer on his face and remained silent. He really didn't know how to talk to his boss.

Seeing the back of Oliver leaving, Arthur raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled, took out his mobile phone which was set to silent mode, checked the information, and saw Long Ma's message reply, without hesitation, he called back past.

The phone was quickly picked up, and Arthur first asked her about her audition in Hollywood. In fact, it was predictable that Emilia would be successful when she was unknown and unfamiliar with her place of life. It was indeed realistic. Same thing, she has already taken all the toiletries in the hotel and is going to steal all the tea bags in the hotel lobby, because she thinks she will never come to Hollywood again.

In this regard, Arthur took a black line on his forehead, and stopped her planned mischief in a very serious tone.

"...Honey, since there is no chance there, go back to London as soon as possible. Influenza A is raging in the United States. I am worried about your safety. You must pay attention..."

Arthur talked a lot, and then Long Ma, who wanted to let herself go, gave up her nonsense. Emilia was also very grateful for Arthur's concern. She said she missed him on the phone. It seems that the short-term separation , but let the emotions caused by the scandal dissipate.

The two got tired of it for a while before ending the call. Arthur shook his head and smiled and put the phone aside. As I said before, due to the economic crisis, many Hollywood studios are unable to protect themselves, and the number of movies produced by Hollywood will shrink by one-third , There are too many monks and too few monks, how can there be so many opportunities for these dream chasers.

And it's not just Hollywood, but the global film capital is in turmoil, just like his cheap sister said, as long as she is given five million pounds, she can find a crew and shoot a movie, people in the film industry They are looking for money to invest everywhere.

Arthur doesn't know how to use money to waste money, let alone spend money to support Eddie, even Long Ma, he never thought of spending money to support him, he is not the kind of rich and stupid big local tyrant, and, The film industry is so filthy, they don't even know how to pay for it.

Thinking about these funny things, a sentence that was deeply remembered in his previous life suddenly flashed in Arthur's mind, that is, the worse the economy is, the more people are willing to spend money in movie theaters to have fun and calm their depression.

I also have to admit that the film industry can really make money. However, thinking of the world of superhero movies in his previous life, Arthur couldn't help shaking his head and laughing again. Unfortunately, not long ago, Disney acquired Marvel for $4.24 billion. Even if the company has an idea, it's useless. Besides, he doesn't have that much money.

Hey, time is ticking!
