Chapter 2410 The Duke of Saatchi

Li Dachao looked at the time, and it was already 15:00 in the UK time. According to the eight-hour time difference, it was 23:00 in the capital time.

He immediately dialed Xiao Qi's cell phone, spent ten minutes to speak clearly, and handed the cell phone to Duke Sa Qi.

"Duke Saqi, hello, I'm Xiao Qi." The boy said on the other end of the phone.

"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Qi, hello, I'm Saqi." Duke Saqi walked away while holding the phone, which made Li Dachao dumbfounded, and directly stepped on Duke Saqi's villain in his heart: old bastard, I am Bandits and robbers, so careful precautions?

Duke Saqi doesn't care what Li Dachao thinks, anyway, this matter must be kept secret.

He walked to the corner before talking about his request, "I know that in London recently, a real estate company you invested in, Mr. Xiao Qi, is making active moves, right?"

Through Li Dachao’s simple and clear introduction just now, Xiao Qi already knew the identity of the Duke of Saatchi. The biggest business of the Duke of Saatchi is real estate and land. The family has 500 acres of land in London alone, although most of them are in the Suburbs, but worth billions of dollars.

Therefore, it is only natural that he has such a keen sense of wind direction changes in real estate.

"Yes." Xiao Qi replied after thinking for a while.

Although the matter of investing in real estate in the UK is relatively secret, if someone wants to check it, they can still find it.

After all, Liu Datou and the others will not keep a low profile.

In fact, as long as you want to make money, you can't keep a low profile.

"I would like to ask Mr. Xiao Qi, what do you think of British real estate in the next few years?" Duke Saatchi said with a smile, "Of course, you didn't give me information for nothing, and I will reward you generously. For example Said, to facilitate your real estate investment, when some people make things difficult for this company. You should believe my promise!"

This is true.

The British have cultivated gentlemanly demeanor from their pirate and robbery careers.

It sounds funny. But generally speaking, if you do business with proper English gentlemen. Then they will regard reputation as more important than life, and they will not be sloppy at all.

Duke Saqi has a very good reputation in this regard, and Li Dachao also emphasized this point just now.

Moreover, the Duke of Saatchi has great energy, and he is one of the best leaders in the British real estate industry, especially in the real estate company targeting Xiao Qi, he will take good care of him.

Liu Datou and the others traveled across the ocean to the UK to make a fortune and earn money from the British. Grabbing the jobs of British businessmen will of course arouse the hatred of others. With the Duke of Saatchi around, everyone can only act within the scope allowed by the rules.

If you act within the limits allowed by the rules...

With Liu Datou's cunning and cunning, the British really can't get enough of him.

But Xiao Qi still felt that he was at a loss.

The reason is simple. The Duke of Saatchi is the largest real estate businessman in the UK. If he knows the real estate trend in the UK in the next few years, he will earn too much.

Money in the market is limited. The easy money was taken away by Duke Saatchi, so Liu Datou and the others only had money that was not easy to make. Isn't that a loss?

As if he knew what Xiao Qi was thinking. Duke Saqi said very seriously, "Mr. Xiao Qi, I understand your concerns, but you have to believe that I am not the kind of person who will take it all alone. Our family can survive until now, not by money and power, but by absolute gentlemanly spirit.”

Xiao Qi's mind was spinning rapidly, and every possibility he was thinking about now might affect the success or failure of this London real estate speculation group.

Duke Saatchi didn't urge him either, but just looked at the golf lawn not far away. A piece of green onion, very pleasing to the eye.

After a long time. Xiao Qicai said: "According to my estimation, the European economy will not be very good in the past few years, and many hedge funds will hide in safe places. Because of the continuous depreciation of the pound and the strong financial position of the UK, the UK Real estate in London, especially in London, is going to be the go-to place for hedge funds.”

Duke Saatchi was also thinking quickly, "Hehe, don't Spain have countless seaside holiday houses?"

"But does Spain have the economic support of the United Kingdom? Do they have Fleet Street?" Xiao Qi said, "A city that relies entirely on tourism has no investment appreciation value at all. What's more, Spain's debt burden is too heavy. Once If it collapses, real estate will also collapse, who is an idiot? Who is willing to invest in this bottomless pit?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao Qi to know Spain so well." Duke Saqi laughed, "I was one of the real estate developers there before, and I made a lot of money. If you like, I can give you a few seaside The villas are for you, all around the scenic port of Valencia."

"Let's talk about it later." Xiao Qi said, "I think Britain, especially a super big city like London, has the most hype value. After a short period of sharp decline, I believe it will give me more rewards!"

In fact, since the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007, the real estate-related industries in continental Europe have also fallen into crisis.

The soaring housing prices suddenly fell, and now in 2009, the price has fallen by more than 40%, and the land market is also in the same slump.

This is also the reason why Liu Datou was able to directly buy more than a dozen pieces of land of different sizes in London with one billion US dollars.

Don't think that China is the only country that has land finance. In fact, every country is the same. When the government has no money, it sells land except for issuing bonds in the most shameless way. Britain is no exception.

Seeing that someone bought land, it was still such a big sum, and Branson's relationship was there to run errands to clear it, so it was naturally sold.

Anyway, the taxation in the UK is very high. In a few decades, the land will become a tax and return to the British government... No, the British people will auction it again.

Ok.

So everyone should not think that Huaguo's 99-year real estate property rights are bullying.

In fact, the permanent property rights in foreign countries are also based on various inheritance taxes and property taxes that are 10 times higher than those in Huaguo.

It was because of Liu Datou's quick and large purchase of land that aroused Duke Saqi's suspicion. After careful investigation, he knew that there was Xiao Qi in it, so Duke Saqi became more interested.

This is also the reason why he immediately agreed to Li Dachao's meeting.

Hearing Xiao Qi talk about the general situation, Duke Saqi was also thinking about it.

According to his ideas. British real estate has actually fallen to a similar level, but seeing the recent dark clouds in Europe. It was a bit of a stormy posture, and he was a little worried, whether it was only on the mountainside now, and it was still far away from the bottom of the valley.

Xiao Qi's analysis is different from his thoughts. Whether to follow his own heart or follow the advice of the richest man in the world is up to Duke Saatchi himself.

Hang up the phone. Duke Saatchi returned to the table, signed the purchase and sale agreement of Weiyou Cinemas neatly, and then drove home in a Rolls-Royce without looking back.

On the way back, he made 17 phone calls and summoned all his think tanks and market experts, all of whom were confidantes, to discuss whether Xiao Qi's analysis was correct and whether it might be implemented in the near future.

Duke Saqi didn't think Xiao Qi would tell lies. For a person like Xiao Qi, a word is worth more than gold.

If Xiao Qi was full of lies, then he would not be able to get to where he is today - when a person's money reaches a certain level. Then money is secondary, and reputation and connections are the most important.

Duke Saatchi never felt he was losing out to anyone in real estate. But he did not dare to deny the extraordinary vision of the world's richest man.

Xiao Qi has proved with countless facts that he has his own unique predictive and observation ability in many aspects, which is often better than many experts.

While looking at the prospect of at least billions of dollars in profits, the Duke of Saatchi feels that he is full of strength now, just like the ace who rampaged on the football field 50 years ago-the nicknamed "Saatchi Bull" He does.

...

Xiao Qi hung up the phone, recalling in his mind the process of the real estate boom in London in his previous life.

At that time, Xiao Qi was still in the United States. Although the real estate in the United States gradually entered the stage of recovery, it was far from as prosperous as London.

London house prices hit rock bottom in 2009. Then it began to rise steadily, coupled with the crazy hype of international speculators. In 2013, house prices in London even exceeded 30% of house prices in 2008, an astonishing increase.

There are various factors, but the attitude of the British government is the biggest piece of good news.

They not only give the green light to foreigners buying and selling houses, but also give the most favorable interest rate treatment to people who buy houses with loans, so that more poor people can buy houses.

In this way, there are countermeasures for both buying and selling. Do you think British real estate is booming? Doesn't the UK's economy look like it's going to get better soon?

As for the real estate bubble, the British government will not be so worried.

To put it bluntly, even after the bubble bursts, you have to pay the tax you paid instead!

As for how much you lost, it has nothing to do with the British government!

Anyway, I have sold all the land that should be sold, and collected all the taxes and fees that should be collected. In the future, inheritance tax, value-added tax, property tax, etc. will not be less than a penny!

Since this is the case, does the real estate bubble have anything to do with whether the interests of the British government are damaged or not?

Since it doesn't matter, why can't the British government promote the development of real estate and let the bubbles offset the impact of the financial crisis?

As long as he can figure this out, Xiao Qi will no longer worry about whether the attitude of the British government will change in this life.

Obviously, they naturally will not change. (to be continued ~^~)
