Chapter 377: A Half-mountain Castle Worth 100 Million
Two point nine acres is equivalent to a little more than seventeen acres of land.
Xiangjiang, with its huge land area, is indeed a large castle estate.
Especially the castle, which is 9,000 square feet, is more than 900 square feet when converted into square feet.
An area of more than one and a half acres.
Zhang Junping nodded with satisfaction.
After entering the castle, Gavin Cassino continued to introduce: "This castle has a total of three floors above ground, and the height of the first floor is about 4.9 meters."
Zhang Junping followed Gavin Casino's words and looked up at the roof of the first floor. It was indeed very high.
"Gavin, there are three floors above ground, so how many floors are underground?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"There are two floors underground!
The second underground floor contains storage rooms, safes, wine cellars, etc.
The underground floor is a very large gym and collection room.
Of course, the items in the collection room have been moved away by the original owner."
"Yeah!" Zhang Junping nodded and motioned for Gavin Cassino to continue.
"On the first floor, in addition to this large living room, there is a dining room, kitchen, storage room, and six guest rooms.
The second floor is where the castle owner's children live. There are a total of twelve bedrooms and a large common living room.
The entire third floor is the activity area for the owner of the castle, with bedrooms, living rooms, living rooms, study rooms, and a collection room."
After hearing this, Zhang Junping had to sigh, this place is really luxurious.
Zhang Junping followed Gavin Casino around the first, second, and third floors. The guest rooms on the first floor were equivalent to standard rooms, with separate toilets and shower rooms.
The bedroom on the second floor is just the size of a business suite.
There are bedrooms, living rooms, cloakrooms, separate toilets, and shower rooms.
As for the third floor, good guy, it's even more luxurious than my own manor in Paris.
There is a whole floor. When you go upstairs, there is first an oversized living room, and then there is an oversized bedroom next to it.
There is also a large study room, cloakroom, independent bathroom, and an extra large bathroom.
There is a large bathtub in the bathroom, which is carved from a whole piece of marble. Four or five people can take a bath in it at the same time without any problem.
I walked around upstairs and downstairs, including the basement.
Zhang Junping deliberately went to the second underground floor and walked around.
Especially that safe.
It is said to be a safe, but it is actually a room with a steel plate reinforcement around it and a door like a safe.
It looks very solid.
Zhang Junping went in and took a look, and took advantage of the moment the door was closed to put a few boxes inside.
Then he closed the door himself and interestingly set a password that only he knew.
In this regard, Gavin Cashino said nothing.
Because this castle was bought for Zhang Junping.
Return to the living room.
"Gavin, I like this castle very much. How much does it cost?" Zhang Junping asked straight to the point after sitting down.
"One hundred and thirty million Hong Kong dollars."
Zhang Junping said nothing, but Tian Shumei and Yang Ying both took a breath of air.
Ding Changge was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he quickly found a sofa to sit down and slowly took his time.
"Gavin, 130 million is a bit high, isn't it?
If this price was reliable last year, it is a bit high this year." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, the price is not high anymore.
Back then, more than 70 million was spent on building this castle.
The entire castle is built with stones, all of which are imported from abroad.
The floor is made of marble imported from your country, and all the patterns are natural.
Not only that, the furniture in this room is all made of the most precious wood in your country." Gavin.
Cashino quickly explained.
"What does this original landlord do? Why does it seem like he is very familiar with China?"
"Richard, three generations of your ancestors have opened foreign firms in Guangdong, China.
They were also the last batch of foreign companies to withdraw from China." Gavin Cashino explained.
After saying this, Zhang Junping understood instantly.
Why, as soon as I heard that Xiangjiang was confirmed to return, I immediately gave up the industry here, divested investment and returned to China.
It turned out that I had suffered a loss.
"Gavin, you should know me. I like this castle very much, but I don't like your price.
I also don’t believe that HSBC will pay this price to buy this castle.”
"Mr. Zhang!"
"Listen to me, yes, I commissioned you to buy this castle.
I can also pay you this price.
But from now on, you will lose my friendship." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang!"
"If you can't make the decision, you can call and ask for instructions." Zhang Junping smiled and made a gesture.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Seeing this, Gavin Cashino said nothing more and stood up to make a phone call.
About ten minutes later, Gavin Cashino came back and said to Zhang Junping: "Mr. Zhang, I just relaxed the general manager.
For Mr. Zhang’s friendship, we are willing to transfer this castle for HK$100 million.”
"That's right!
Dashan, call that person and call him over.
How can I sign a contract without a lawyer?
Gavin, go prepare the contract." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"You bought it now?" Tian Shumei asked in surprise.
"That's right! What if you don't buy it? Keep it for the New Year?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
He made a lot of money from this business.
The current house price in Hong Kong Island is about HK$740 per square foot.
The total area of the castle is 2.9 acres.
If converted into square feet, it is less than 120,000 square feet.
If calculated based on the housing prices on the island, it would be more than 86 million.
However, this is a mountainous area, so the price is much more expensive.
Seven hundred and forty yuan per square foot refers to the average price, the price of a building with several hundred square feet.
Not this kind of mansion.
Here, twenty years from now, you won’t be able to buy it for billions each.
What's more, the furniture in this room is all made of Hainan Huanghuali.
Have you ever seen the British royal style furniture from Hainan Huanghuali?
In the future, these furniture alone will be worth billions.
Soon, Scarface's Queen's Counsel Steve Sun arrived at the castle.
At this time, Steve Sun no longer looked as poor as before. He wore a stiff high-end suit and his hair was slicked back. He looked like a successful person.
"Steve Sun, I bought this castle, please help me read the contract." Zhang Junping did not polite to him and directly ordered.
"Okay, Master Zhang!
It's my honor to serve you." Steve Sun said flatteringly.
Steve Sun checked the contract and found that there was no problem.
As a result, something went wrong when signing the contract.
Ding Changge refused to sign the contract to his death.
If he were asked to sign, he would rather return to BJ immediately.
One hundred million scared Ding Changge.
Zhang Junping did not continue to make things difficult for him.
"Yang Ying, you sign the contract, and this castle will be under your name from now on." Zhang Junping returned to the living room and directly ordered Yang Ying.
"Me?!" Yang Ying was startled.
Although she decided to follow Zhang Junping and everything belonged to Zhang Junping, she was still shocked when he was suddenly given a castle.
He turned around and looked at Tian Shumei.
"Look what the fuck, the elder gave it to you, not to me." Tian Shumei pouted her lips and said in a sour tone.
"Why do you care about her? Master, I asked you to sign, so hurry up and sign." Zhang Junping glared.
Why is it so laborious to ask you to sign one by one?
It’s not like I’m asking you to sign a deed of betrayal.
Under Zhang Junping's gaze, Yang Ying obediently signed, and then looked at Zhang Junping.
"What do you think? Pay the money!"
You signed everything and you don’t want to pay?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Ah? Should I pay for it?"
"Don't tell me, there's no money in the company's account."
"Yes, your eldest master has spoken. How could he not?" Yang Ying gritted her teeth angrily.
Just now, Bai was moved.
After working on it for a long time, I still paid for it myself.
Although the money was not hers, asking her to pay from the company's account and having Zhang Junping pay were completely different feelings.
Tian Shumei was no longer jealous now, covering her mouth and snickering.
Yang Ying reluctantly communicated with Gavin Cashino, and she would pay the money later from Dashan International Trading Company's account.
Gavin Cashino naturally has no objection to this.
Dashan International Trading Company is also his client, and he knows very well how much money is on its account.
Although it's not as much money as Zhang Junping's account, it's still quite a lot.
The deal was completed and Gavin Cashino quickly left.
As for Repulse Bay Manor, it has not been taken down yet.
Negotiations are still ongoing.
After it is taken down, Zhang Junping will be notified.
"Sir, will you let me pay the money to buy the Repulse Bay Manor later from the company's account?" Yang Ying asked aggrievedly after sending Gavin Cassino away.
"No need for that!" Zhang Junping glanced at Tian Shumei with a smile and said.
Tian Shumei was so frightened that she trembled, "What are you looking at?
Let me tell you, I don’t want to be as rich as Yang Ying, and I can’t afford your Repulse Bay Manor.”
"Okay, let's see how scared you are!
You won't be allowed to pay.
That's where my eldest wife and I live, so you don't need to pay." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Then second aunt can't go and stay?" Tian Shumei approached Zhang Junping and asked in a low voice.
"You have to ask the eldest lady for instructions on this." Zhang Junping shrugged.
After laughing for a while, the three people returned to the living room.
"The castle has been bought, Chang Ge, please call everyone over.
Just let the people at the Peninsula Hotel arrange a car and take it directly to the Mid-Levels Castle."
"yes!"
"I just took a look, and the furniture and everything else are complete, but I'm not used to using bedding and other items left behind by others.
You two wait for a while and go buy some bedding and toiletries.
We will stay in the castle tonight." Zhang Junping explained to Tian Shumei and Yang Ying again.
"Yes, my lord, don't worry! I guarantee that you will live in the castle comfortably tonight." Tian Shumei rolled her eyes at Zhang Junping.
She also wants to live in this castle worth 100 million.
"Da Shan, contact a housekeeping company to do a thorough cleaning of the entire manor. Remember to disinfect." Zhang Junping ordered Scarface again.
