Chapter 1676 The Real Second Generation

Southampton, a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, is also the most important port city in the UK. In a sense, it is even more important than Liverpool.

Since the Middle Ages, Southampton has frequently carried out business exchanges with Europe. In 1620, the Mayflower set off from here, carrying a group of British immigrants to the United States; in 1912, the legendary Titanic departed from here; in 1936, The world's largest cruise ship, the floating Sea Palace Queen Mary, sets sail here.

Today, it is the cruise capital of Europe.

Because the International Boat Show will be held, Southampton, a quiet town, ushered in the hustle and bustle of the year. The rich people who transited through London were simply too numerous to count. All the hotels in Southampton these days showed In a saturated state, urban traffic also becomes congested.

This small city with an area of ​​only more than 50 square kilometers, faced with a sudden increase in the flow of people, is still orderly, even if the tranquility of the past is broken.

Sitting in a temporarily rented Jaguar, Yang Cheng listened to Carson tell the history of Southampton, "Southampton is famous for port trade and shipbuilding, and the shipbuilding industry has flourished in Southampton since the 13th century.

Today, as the most important port in Europe and the headquarters of cruise giants, there are many luxury cruise lines and multiple container terminals. To some extent, Southampton plays the role of London's trading port.

Therefore, global maritime talents and high-end people gather here, and Southampton's land and housing prices have always been high. "

Yang Cheng couldn't help frowning, "So, there's not much room for bargain hunting?"

Carson hesitated, "In my opinion, Southampton has a superior geographical location and a well-developed transportation network. It can be said to extend in all directions. The M27 highway runs through the east and west cities of Hampshire, and the M3 highway goes directly to London.

Basically, the important cities in the UK can be reached by train for an hour, and the tourism resources are also very rich. To the east is the British military port Portsmouth; to the south is the royal resort of Wight Island, where beautiful white cliffs can be seen everywhere; Stonehenge, the ancient capital of Winchester, and the National Forest Park, Bournemouth, which has the most beautiful beaches; Needless to say, the north is next to London.

Coupled with excellent educational resources, one-fifth of Southampton's permanent residents are college students, so I really don't see a real estate crash in Southampton. "

Yang Cheng didn't answer, looking out the car window, his eyes were full of green. Although Southampton was destroyed by bombing in World War II, decades of vicissitudes have changed, and the city's thriving, quiet and leisurely atmosphere has long been restored. .

If there is no boat show,

It is difficult for people to see the hustle and bustle of traffic, and it is difficult to feel the prosperity of the feasting and feasting. It is like the ancient city walls and the calm sea in the city.

Sighing, "So we came here for nothing~"

After saying this, he couldn’t help feeling a little regretful. He seemed impulsive last night. Although the scenery of Southampton was worth a trip alone, if he went out once and came back without earning some money, he always felt like a loss.

Carson thought for a moment and made a suggestion, "Why don't we allocate a part of the funds to buy a few apartments near the university and rent them out to foreign students.

While providing us with stable income, it can also achieve the effect of asset preservation. "

Yang Cheng didn't pay much attention to the profit brought by apartment leasing. It was too little, but it was better than nothing, and this trip finally paid off.

It took only half a day to buy two connected apartment buildings near Solent University. Yes, they took the two buildings directly. The price is not expensive, 20 million pounds, of course they did not pay the full amount, Instead, he used a loan, half of the down payment was the money in the manor fund, and it was useless for Yang Cheng to pay an extra dime.

Just as Yang Cheng was about to get on the train to the train station, Carson answered the phone, and then said to Yang Cheng with a rather sad expression, "Master, I just received the news that the Duke of Westminster passed away at Eaton Manor. His only son, Hugh Grosvenor, will inherit the Dukedom and the Grosvenor Corporation."

Yang Cheng was taken aback, and then sighed, "It's really regrettable news, you should represent Beihai Manor to attend the funeral of His Highness the Duke, you are more familiar with what needs to be prepared than I am, as long as the etiquette is up to date, we have nothing to do with Eaton Manor after all. "

"Understood, I'll be ready~"

When the car started, Yang Cheng suddenly thought that the duke's son is really a real winner in life. If he remembers correctly, the other party seems to be three years younger than him. Not to mention inheriting tens of billions of property, he even got the title of duke. An existence equal to William in noble gatherings.

So it is said that people are more dead than others, and goods are thrown away. Look at others, and then look at yourself, it's a dick!

Even though their wealth on the surface is similar to that of Yang Cheng, their background is definitely not comparable to that of Yang Cheng or the Yang family. Not to mention, as the largest landowner and real estate tycoon in the UK, the Grosvenor family owns properties all over the world. The five continents, not to mention in the UK, whether it is the city center or the suburbs, have their family's land. The land area owned by their family accounts for 0.22% of the entire UK, which is 7 times that of the Queen of England.

In particular, properties in Mayfair and Belgravia, two luxurious high-end areas in London, are already worth billions.

There is also a landmark building named after their family in central London - "Grosvenor Square".

By the way, the location of the famous Buckingham Palace is the city of Westminster, which is his family's fiefdom!

A little exaggeration, no, needless to say, that Hugh Grosvenor inherited half of London, London where every inch of land is expensive!

Look at others, they became the richest person in the world under the age of 30 without doing anything. This is called being born with a golden spoon in your mouth.

This family has broken the curse of being rich for only three generations. In Hugh's generation, he is already the seventh Duke of Westminster. He also inherited the title of the richest man. This is something that people can't even envy. Ordinary people would be scolded as idiots for dreaming of winning the lottery. How dare they dream of being the heir to the richest man and nobleman?

On the way back to the manor, Yang Cheng also received a call from William. The premise was that the news of Yang Cheng's return to Liverpool had already spread throughout the UK following the massacre of the team. It was not unusual for William to know about it.

"Man, if you're not in a hurry to go back, I want to take a friend to the manor to visit you. He just lost his family member and is very sad. I want to take him to your place to relax."

Yang Cheng thought about it, "It can't be Hugh Grosvenor?"
