Chapter 1795 The Most Fanatical Mansion Buyer in America

"Good evening, Robert, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

Andy was lying on the boss chair, with his feet on the desk in the study, holding his mobile phone, and said with a smile on his face.

"...Hello, Andy, it's almost noon at Tianchao, call me at this time, what's the matter?"

To be honest, Robert Murdoch really doesn't like to deal with Andy Smith, the little fox who cheated him. Although Murdoch admits Andy's talent and ability, he doesn't like him at all. However, how to say, That is, Murdoch, who is an old fox, knows clearly that business competition is business competition. Even if you are in the same class, no matter how much you don’t like each other, at least you have to face it.

Moreover, Murdoch does not want to become hostile to Andy Smith. After all, Andy is too young, especially with his family background, personal ability, and the established media empire. Death, I am afraid that in a few years, it will really be like what the media said, a new generation will replace the old, and replace him, an old guy, and be crowned king in the media industry.

Thinking of his own children, Murdoch is really worried about the future of the warship News Corporation he created, especially now that there is an extra greedy and bloodthirsty wolf cub, he does not believe this one Hungry wolves that have grown up slowly will keep to themselves, after all, the market is so big.

In the past period of time, NBC TV station has begun to re-emerge, squeezing the market share of several other TV stations. As of April, News Corporation's operating income in the past six months was 30.4 billion U.S. dollars, with a net loss 3.3 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 8.7 billion US dollars. Although the loss of News Corporation is mainly due to asset impairment, about 4.6 billion US dollars of this is the impairment of intangible assets of the TV business. The market is so large, plus the financial Crisis, advertising revenue cannot support the increasing cost of program production or purchase, and the audience's attention is fragmented, and they will not be loyal to a certain channel at all. They are only loyal to a certain brand of programs, while NBC's Reborn, a large sum of money was spent on the production of TV dramas, only to force other TV stations to compete with NBC. . .

It's really a wolf!

"Haha, it's actually nothing, it's just that I heard that you intend to sell your private island, no, I'm ready to buy an island as Ivana's birthday present and a gift for her child's birth... "

"Sell the island? Which one?" Murdoch asked unexpectedly and suspiciously from the phone.

"Lanai Island, Hawaii." Andy said nonsense with his eyes open.

"Hehe, Andy's joke is not funny at all, it's not for sale." Sitting on a chair in the study in a nightgown at the moment,

Murdoch, who was smoking a cigar, smiled lightly, squinting his eyes slightly, as if in front of him was the mint green clear sea water, the white sandy beach glistening in the sun, the enthusiastic hula dancers and the undulating volcanoes. . . He thought of the dreamlike beauty of Hulopoe Bay, where dolphins would often swirl in the sea, hold hands with Wendy, enjoy the beautiful sunset, and indulge in the memories.

Lanai calls itself the "Garden of the Gods". As the smallest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, Lanai is a quiet tropical paradise that preserves a great deal of native culture. Lanai covers an area of ​​365 square kilometers and has been owned and developed by billionaire Rupert Murdoch's company since 1985.

Lanai Island was once famous for its pineapple fields. Now there are two Four Seasons resorts, golf courses and luxury residences on the island, and it has its own wind power plant. When Microsoft founder Bill Gates got married in 1994, he booked all the hotel rooms on the island because the island was secluded enough.

If there is such a paradise in the world, then it is definitely not inferior to give Lanai this reputation!

"Five billion dollars!"

Andy didn't care about Murdoch's refusal, but smiled and opened his mouth and directly exposed a price that made Murdoch hesitate.

"I have been to Lanai Island once before, and Ivana likes the peaceful environment and leisurely pace of life there. The feeling of being at home is incomparable."

"..."

Andy still had a slight smile on his face, quietly waiting for Murdoch's response on the other end of the phone. He didn't interrupt the old fox's thinking and weighing. He knew that even if he exposed the price, the old fox would not immediately agree. Come down, businessmen, even if they have friendship, they will maximize their benefits, not to mention that there is no friendship between the two, but they are in a competitive relationship.

"Andy, you are not the only one who is interested in Lanai Island. Bill and his wife are very interested in Lanai Island. After all, there are their most precious memories there, and they have asked me more than once, In addition, Larry Ellison of Oracle Corporation is particularly interested in Lanai Island, almost every time he encounters it, he will ask once... "

"Hehe, Robert, maybe Bill Gates really intends to buy Lanai Island, but he may not be able to pay this price. As for that Mr. Ellison, his purchase intention may not be for Lanai Island, but for It’s just to add to the obstacles for Bill Gates. Whether Bill regards Lanai Island as a blessed place, or Ellison’s emotional dispute, I believe you should know better than me how sincere you are about buying Lanai Island.

Robert, the price I offered is definitely a very good deal. I will continue to develop Lanai, and you can keep a piece of Lanai land. Besides, only 98% of Lanai belongs to you. The other two percent is in the hands of the government, isn't it? "

Hearing Andy's words, Murdoch has been shaken at this moment, mainly because the price is really exciting. Only 98% ownership of a seat bought for 500 million US dollars, and a small island with 3,000 aborigines is undoubtedly the only one like Andy Smith. Only rich and self-willed guys will be willing.

It couldn't help but remind him of a report he read some time ago about Andy's massive purchase of real estate and land all over the world. This little fox has an unusually strong interest in land and real estate, and it can be said that he is ambitious.

According to reports, Andy bought nearly one-third of the 70 Malibu mansions in one sweep!

Not only quietly bought 24 million-dollar mansions, 12 of them are located on the carbon beach known as "Billionaire's Beach", with a total value of 120 million US dollars. The neighbor is located on a beach, that is to say, he not only bought the mansion, but also attached the entire beach, making the entire Malibu Carbon Beach his private beach.

In the words of one Malibu real estate manager in the report, “There are only so many front row seats. If you take the best property in the best location, it’s inherently a good investment. Opportunity seen by Dee Smith. Investment vision of genius..."

This doesn't include Andy's sweeping house in major international cities around the world, London, Beijing, HK and other cities, like the dollars in his hands are waste paper.

Therefore, Andy Smith was described by the "Wall Street Journal" as "the most avid luxury home buyer in the United States"!

"Well, Andy, your love for Ivana is touching and enviable. As a friend, I am willing to fulfill this beauty, but I need to think about it carefully. You know, Lanai is just my real estate company. I need to know more about the development of a tourism project under the banner, and I will write back to you as soon as possible, how about it?"

"Of course, but, Robert, I want to declare that 500 million dollars is the only and final offer."

"Hehe. I see, I will reply to you as soon as possible."

"Hehe, okay, then I will wait for your good news. I will treat Lanai Island well, retaining her original beauty, rich natural landforms and beautiful scenery to the greatest extent, and I will still open my arms all the time, waiting for you Explore its different beauty and enjoy the purest travel time." Andy joked with a smile.

"Let's talk about the future later, then, good night."

"Good night."

The phone hangs up.

"Old Fox!"/"Little Fox!"
