Chapter 2402 House

When the car enters Kensington Gardens Street, the hustle and bustle of the city is immediately left behind. It is really left behind. You can only hear the sound of wheels on the road and the sound of wind blowing leaves.

The small European-style palace buildings on the roadside looked solemn and solemn. All the windows were tightly closed and no movement could be heard, but there was no one there.

The supporting parking lots can generally accommodate more than ten cars, and most of them are full of cars.

Ham, the accompanying British executive, said with a smile, "I've passed by it many times, but this is the first time I've walked into this street."

This is not surprising, because this street is famous for being built with money. It is also called Billionaire Street. The people who can live here must be billionaires and millionaires, so they can only be like Feng Yiping and the others are just visiting.

The current market price of this street is more than 40,000 euros per square meter, that is, at least 400,000 yuan per square meter.

But don’t think it’s too expensive, because it’s possible that you won’t be able to buy it even if you want to.

The two major destinations for the world's richest people to buy real estate are London and New York. However, London is different from New York. New York is a large place with many luxury projects of nearly 1,000 square meters to choose from.

In the UK, there is no clear definition of a super luxury home, but generally speaking, a residence in a prime location in central London with an area of ​​no less than 1,800 square meters can be considered a super luxury home.

In London, such luxury homes must be a rarity.

Information obtained by Feng Yiping shows that in the entire UK, there are currently only 1,500 luxury homes with a price of more than 20 million pounds, and less than 100 luxury homes with a price of more than 50 million pounds.

And most of these 100 are near this street.

Basically, there is a carrot and a pit. If you want to buy it, you have to look at the timing.

The reason why this street is so expensive is closely related to the Kensington in its name. Kensington Palace of the British royal family is on this street. In addition, the embassies of many countries are also on this street.

It’s home to Kensington Gardens, Holland Park and Hyde Park, so it’s surrounded by greenery. When you take a walk in the Heimstead Forest here, you will feel that this is definitely a rural countryside, but in fact, it is just a few miles away. It's the bustling Oxford Street and Knightsbridge.

As for schools, needless to say, Prince William and Prince Harry both started their hard-earned educational careers in kindergartens on this street. That is to say, if you buy a house here, your children are very likely to... Kindergarten classmate of the future King of England.

There is also Westminster College, which is as famous as Eton College, and there are many universities nearby, such as the Royal College of Music, London School of Economics and Political Science, Imperial College, University of Westminster, University College London, etc...

When you are interested, you can spend time in the many art venues around you. For example, go to the Royal Albert Hall to enjoy a classical concert. After a few times, you have a high chance of meeting the Queen of England.

Among the residents nearby, let alone others, the Li family, the former richest man in Asia, has their own mansion here. Others include the Sultan of Brunei, the Indian tycoon Feng Yiping has contacted, and Mittal of the Mittal Group. , Russian oligarch Abramovich, Beckham and Victoria, etc.

Of course, the most awesome residents are the British royal family.

However, all these factors are actually not what Feng Yiping cares about. He really doesn't care about the British royal family.

He doesn't need to rely on this to enhance his status and identity.

However, considering his future investments in Europe and the United Kingdom, it must be said that, in other words, it is best for him to buy property in Europe due to business needs.

Since it is an investment, of course you have to consider the return, and for real estate investment, the most important thing is naturally location, location, and location.

In London, the area where Kensington Garden Street is located, this royal borough under the jurisdiction of the Greater London area known as Kensington Chelsea, is definitely the crown jewel of London real estate.

Buy a house here and leave it alone. In a few years, you will probably achieve the small goal of adding 100 million in value.

Marika, who was in the same car, was very unfamiliar with this place. When passing by Kensington Palace, which in Feng Yiping's opinion, had an unremarkable appearance, she even went down to take pictures.

"Feng, do you really want to buy a house here?"

"If possible," Feng Yiping said.

In any case, the real estate here is indeed a top choice in terms of environment and security, not to mention, the return may be high.

Ham immediately said, "I will definitely arrange for someone to pay close attention to the properties here, and I will notify you immediately if there is a suitable one."

"So, do you have any requirements for the property here?"

Feng Yiping looked out the window, "I don't have any requirements, and there's no need to be too expensive."

It is for investment anyway. The more expensive it is, the more you will earn when it is resold in the future.

Harm nodded, "I understand,"

This is what it means to have no cap.

At this time, he had some doubts. If Kensington Palace, which was valued at more than 500 million pounds, was sold, his boss, who was only two years older than Prince William, would buy it without hesitation.

"I can't afford the house here," Marika said.

The properties here cost at least more than 10 million to 20 million pounds, and she really can't afford it now.

"It will happen in the future," Feng Yiping said.

"Our colleagues will also help you keep an eye on it," Ham said immediately.

He can be said to be very knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

"Thanks," Marika smiled.

"Speaking of houses, has Mukesh Ambani's house been built?" Feng Yiping asked Mallika.

"The main building should have been built. I heard that it is being renovated and you can see it tomorrow." Speaking of this, Marika was very happy.

Feng Yiping's next stop is India, and the person he wants to meet is none other than Mukesh Ambani. His Reliance Telecom is India's second largest telecom operator and the fastest growing telecom operator in India.

Of course, when it comes to the mansions of rich people, his 27-story building in Mumbai, which is said to cost US$1 billion, can be said to be the most luxurious mansion among the world's richest people.

To be honest, Feng Yiping really can't do such a thing. He, his wife, and three children, including his mother, are only six people. How can they use a 27-story building with an area larger than that of Versailles? A big building?

Feng Yiping took out his hand and picked up his phone, "Are there any grand festivals in India recently?"

Marika excitedly held his hand again, "It just so happens that this year our Diwali starts on the 9th. If we go, we can still make it in time."

"You know, this is one of our most important and grandest festivals. It lasts for five days, and each day has a different meaning..."

She held Feng Yiping's hand, her eyes were shining, and she talked nonstop.

Harm silently raised the partition between the back seat and them.

…………

In the United States, there is another person who is also talking about issues related to houses at this time.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Paulson, who has been tense since April, is still worried, but in the past two days, he finally had a chance to take a breath.

Entering November, the situation seems to be really getting better. Judging from the data, in the second and third quarters of this year, the growth rate of U.S. economic output was close to 4%, the unemployment rate also remained at a low level, and housing prices also rebounded slightly. He knew that, Bernanke and the Fed are already considering cutting interest rates at this time.

In other words, they believe that the U.S. economy may have a tendency to overheat.

But Paulson feels less optimistic.

In any case, on this weekend morning, he finally had time to receive some of his classmates at home.

The receptionist was not a friend from college, but a few friends from high school and elementary school that he was still in contact with.

Not long after the party, everyone naturally asked about the situation related to subprime mortgages. Paulson could only say, "No matter how the situation develops, it will eventually be under strong control."

However, these classmates who had a rare opportunity to meet him were obviously well prepared. "Hank," one of the classmates took out a document, "This is the investment agreement signed by the economist and me. People around me have lost their houses because of such investment agreements. Can you help me take a look? "

Immediately, the other two students also came up with a similar agreement, "We also brought it,"

Paulson put on his glasses and looked at each item. At first, he was just serious. Later, the scowl on his face became more and more serious. In the end, he couldn't help but slapped the table hard. ,"mean!"

These mortgage securities investment documents contained too many clauses that were unfavorable to investors. If this trend continued, he knew that his classmates would definitely not be able to keep their houses.

He stood up and walked around, "Didn't you read this agreement at the beginning?"

"We can't understand it either," several classmates spread their hands.

Paulson stopped. Three of the five students who came today were deceived into signing such an investment agreement. So, would there be fewer such things in the United States?

At this moment, he seemed to clearly see the huge waves hidden under the calm situation in front of him.
