44 - Gaze from Warner
After a brief look outside, the real estate agent took them to the front of the main building and said, "Let's go in and take a look, Mr. Greenberg, don't be confused by the appearance of the house, the design inside is very modern."
"Ok, why did that Wall Street tycoon sell this house?" Wayne followed him into the main building and asked inadvertently.
"He went bankrupt, sir. Now the house has been taken back by the bank." The broker was obviously very honest and could collect these information if you wanted.
Then he continued to introduce: "This manor was built in March 1970 and was directly bought by the previous homeowner. His futures business was doing well in that era.
But he did not escape the fate of bankruptcy two years ago. Because of his old-school ideas, he was unwilling to believe everything related to the Internet and chose the wrong direction.
The only owner of the estate is this manor. He doesn't live much, and he lives in New York most of the time. In October of the year before, Mr. Horford declared bankruptcy and the house was taken away by the bank to pay off the debt."
Wayne nodded. He roughly knew what was going on. There was a wave of stock market rising wildly in February last year. A large number of investment companies and investors thought they would make a big profit, but in the end, many people jumped off the building.
"After cleaning up the property rights of the debtor and completing all the procedures, the manor was in our company." The agent smiled. "Since he almost lives in New York, he didn't live in the house for a few days, but he just sent someone to maintain it. It can be said that the house has basically been empty for many years."
That means that this house is basically new, and all the precipitation of time are made, which he is very satisfied with. This is not very good for North Americans. The mansions they bought are almost all decades, but they have some decisive effects on his soul on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
"Two, please come here! The furniture in this house is designed by famous designers separately according to the overall style of the house. The furniture and items inside are all available, which are completely in line with the overall style. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can ask someone to adjust it at any time."
Nina looked at this quaint, grand and luxurious house, and stars began to appear in her eyes. He knew that the house was not cheap, but his boss should be able to buy it.
The layout of the hall is open, and the hidden huge floor-to-ceiling windows fill the interior with natural sunshine and do not look gloomy at all.
The main living room with high ceilings is very spacious and grand. The open layout brings a quiet and peaceful atmosphere to the living room. Wherever you stand in the living room, you can see the beautiful view of the manor in front through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
Wayne and Nina remained silent, followed the agent to the huge restaurant, and carefully admired everything in the house.
After seeing the restaurant, I went into the private theater on the left side of the main building. The screening room was not big and there were more than a dozen seats, but the existence of the theater added a lot of points to Wayne.
Next to the theater is an indoor swimming pool. The curved swimming pool is not big, which makes it very comfortable to watch.
The two floors above are residential areas, rest and entertainment areas and study office areas. Below is a huge wine cellar and vault. The vault uses a bank vault security door, which can store a large number of valuables and art for the owner.
Then they went up to the second floor. On the left side of the second floor are mainly guest rooms, and on the right are study rooms and rest and entertainment areas.
The third floor is much smaller than the second floor, divided into two parts, with only a huge master bedroom, and an attached cloakroom. The bedroom has a large balcony with a spiral staircase leading to the garden.
Wayne stood on the balcony on the third floor and looked at the view of the entire manor. From a distance, you can overlook most of Los Angeles, and at the foot of Beverly Gardens.
"All furniture and decorations are all from Chanel," the agent reminded behind him.
He looked at the furniture carefully and found that the trademark office was indeed Chanel, but he didn't expect that this was also a top furniture product manufacturer.
After a walk around, the group returned to the first floor and sat in the spacious living room. The decoration design of all the houses can be said to be very suitable for Wayne. He felt very good about this house.
"Mr. Greenberg, how do you think of this estate?" asked the agent sitting on the gray pure leather sofa.
Wayne recalled and said, "It's not bad."
Just looking at the main building, the area is more than 2,000 square meters. There are ten bedrooms in the whole building, all of which have matching cloakrooms, which is enough for parents to come.
What needs to be considered now is that maintaining such a large manor requires hiring a fixed butler chef and maintenance staff, and tax issues must also be carefully considered.
However, as long as you have money in this country, these problems are not a problem.
This was the first time he bought a house in two lives. He had never bought a house in his previous life. His parents left him a self-built yard in the countryside and a building divided by his father's unit, but it also saved him from the pain of being a house slave.
"Mr. Henry," Wayne asked, "what is the price of this house?"
The broker smiled and said, "The reason why the bank sells the house is to recover the loan stop loss, which is much lower than the current market price. If Mr. Greenberg hires our company personnel to maintain the manor in the future, he can give you a lowest price!"
"Talk the price just right!"
“$28 million!”
Henry knew that this young man could give out the money. The reason why he recommended this manor was because there were not many customers who could afford such a luxury house, and the one in front of him was definitely a potential customer.
"Yes." Wayne touched his chin and continued, "Your company can assist in applying for the loan, right?"
"Of course!" said the broker happily: "It is very easy to apply for a house loan with a high-quality customer like you."
"Take out the contract, and the down payment will be called to your company as soon as possible. I want to move in as soon as possible." Wayne signaled that the other party was completely satisfied and could sign the contract directly. "You can hire two maintenance personnel from your company, and the butler and chef also recommend two."
Henry never expected this to be smooth. When it comes to bulk real estate transactions, customers are usually very picky. "Okay, there is no problem with Mr. Greenberg. Go and go to the afternoon to complete the procedures, and you can move in as soon as tomorrow."
"Nina, go and go and handle the procedures with Henry."
"No problem, boss." Nina heard her boss' instructions and had prepared information in the car when she came.
"Mr. Greenberg." Henry took them out. "You are the fastest Hollywood practitioner I have ever seen to buy luxury houses. Not far from you, Tom Cruise lives on this Mulholland Road, who is also our client, but a superstar like him who has been working in Hollywood for ten years before buying luxury houses here."
Wayne shrugged at his deliberate compliment, but he would not take his words to heart. He was not as proud as he complimented not himself, but the dollars in his pocket.
"Thank you, Mr. Henry, then that's it. Please take my assistant to go through the procedures. The money will be transferred to your company's account as soon as possible." He opened the car door, handed over the information to Nina, and said politely to the real estate agent before driving back to the apartment to pack up some things.
He was going to bring only some personal supplies and clothes, and most of the daily necessities were placed here. He would continue to pay the rent, and he was not going to cancel the rent. If he had the chance in the future, he could buy the apartment. This is his college memory.
Wayne, who was busy preparing to move, didn't know that someone from Burbank also looked at his project.
Burbank has always been the nickname of the world's media capital. The headquarters of Warner Group is the most important part of it, and the Hollywood film distribution and production giant Warner Bros. Film and Television is among them.
Like other giant companies in Hollywood, Warner Bros. also produces and releases many videos every year, and they also have their own project review and risk assessment mechanisms.
As long as each project delivered to Warner Bros. is submitted, it must undergo a highly professional team to review the script, estimate the market risks and value of the film, and analyze whether the selling points of the script meet mainstream needs.
This series of considerations, including film categories, potential audiences, box office performances similar to the film, may be the latest results of actors and directors who will be directed.
Perhaps none of the above guarantees whether a film can succeed, but it can minimize the risk of failure.
After passing this procedure as fast as possible, Wayne's "Escape from the Deadly Town" and plan were placed at the Warner Bros. The script and plan were just obtained from his agent Jimmy.
In fact, they have their own news channels. As soon as Fox received the project plan, they had already received it at the same time and entered the risk assessment. Hollywood giants have always cooperated with each other and destroyed each other.
There were not many people in the conference room and it was very quiet. Jeff Robinoff personally sent copies of the documents to CEO Kevin Trasuha and the executives. This included the conflicts between his preliminary investigation and Fox's negotiations.
Jeff heard about the report from his subsidiary a few months ago. The film and television supervisor of Universal Pictures greeted the subsidiary and told them to refuse to release the film called "Happy Death Day". They were also happy to sell Goodman for face.
But later, the 20th Century Fox released the film, and the box office of the explosion almost shocked the entire industry. A film with a production cost of one million won more than 100 million US dollars worldwide, but it was not relying on publicity and promotion. This case analysis was placed on the tables of many company executives.
So when he heard about the other party's new project, the moment he broke down the first negotiation with 20th Century Fox, he became concerned and the news collected early came into play.
When Jimmy sent Wayne's new project "Escape from the Deadly Town" to the company, he had finished all the preliminary work and prepared all the information.
The executives opened the file together, and the first page of the information was the director's archive evaluation. If Wayne saw it, he would be surprised. It records almost everything that happened to him since his freshman year.
"I've heard of this director. Some time ago, he had a conflict with Goodman from Universal and even took action at the graduation ceremony. He threatened to play games with nearly $30 million that sells videos, and he wanted to sue Goodman to bankruptcy! What a crazy and competitive young man."
An executive from the distribution department said to everyone in a joking tone.
Chapter completed!
