"boom!"

Andy, who had just stepped out of the cabin, looked back. The little assistant who was opening a black umbrella couldn't help but look up at the gloomy London sky.

In London, which has entered a long 'grey' winter, the most luxurious thing is undoubtedly the bright sunshine.

"This damn weather is a nuisance!"

Andy sat in the car, looked at the rainwater dripping on the car window, frowned and complained.

"Autumn in London is very short. It should be regarded as the beginning of winter in the UK, and there will be more rain and snow. However, the forecast says that the rain will stop tomorrow." The assistant took out a mobile phone with a British number from the bag and turned it on. While checking the text messages and emails on the big devil's work phone, he explained.

"Boss, I'll be there in half an hour." The little assistant picked up the phone and dialed it. After connecting, he finished speaking concisely and hung up the phone.

"It's ready at Phillimore Gardens."

Andy nodded. When he came to London for the first time last September, he asked his think tank to use his offshore company to find suitable properties in London. Although he didn't know much about the situation in the UK in his previous life, after all Wang Yiyi had seen the news about spending tens of millions of pounds to buy luxury houses in London, so he knew that after the financial crisis, a huge bubble was blown up in London's real estate market.

Andy will never let go of profitable business, not to mention that London also has a hidden "advantage" - "tax haven".

Countless luxury houses are sold in London every year, but there are few real-name registered owners. Most of them are purchased in the name of companies, and most of them are registered in familiar tax-free areas. Many people don't know that the biggest "player" in the global offshore system of duty-free zones is not Switzerland or the Cayman Islands, but the United Kingdom.

According to British law, holding real estate, especially when generating capital gains due to the transfer of ownership, is subject to various taxes, but real estate held by offshore companies is often tax-free.

In this way, inheritance tax can be avoided by this means. Not only can you not have to pay British taxes, but you also have the opportunity to evade the investigation from the taxation department or judicial department of your country.

It is an open secret in the luxury real estate market in London to secretly store in the name of an offshore company. Because there is no worry about paying taxes, house prices will be repeatedly driven up. When most real estate markets are still sluggish, it is not surprising that London has repeatedly "self-satisfied".

The offshore company specially set up by Andy to purchase real estate in London now owns six mansions worth more than 20 million pounds, and also prepared a house for the big boss, who spent 60 million pounds to buy Ken, a famous wealthy district in London. A college preparatory school for girls in the Hinton area.

The tens of millions of pounds of major renovations began in October last year. After 12 months of luxurious renovations, it is now a building with 10 bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, a gym, a sauna, a private cinema and a security guard. A well-systematic bomb-proof emergency refuge room super mansion.

To be honest, at the beginning, Andy learned through the briefing that his subordinates bought himself a very beautiful school building with a blue roof and white walls. He was just a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he wanted to hide Once, and then sold at a high price.

But in February of this year, he received a call from his subordinates. When Yelena, the wife of Pinchuk, the second richest man in Ukraine, offered 80 million pounds to buy the Phillimore Garden mansion that was being renovated, Andy just Know how crazy house prices are rising in London.

After he saw the decoration renderings, he refused the other party's offer without hesitation. After all, he also needed a real foothold in London. This Victorian-style Phillimore Garden was undoubtedly favored by him. fancy.

Andy tried every means to avoid taxes in the United States, not to mention paying taxes to the British. His branch in London's Financial Street earned him a lot of pounds. If he transferred them back to the United States, he would almost be caught The U.S. government took half of it,

He would only do that unless he was crazy. Since the British government has opened the door to tax avoidance, how could Andy miss it!

Andy's convoy drove into the Kensington area quickly, and soon arrived at the destination. Surrounded by tall trees that were somewhat withered and yellow because of the arrival of winter, a five-storey main building and a landscape with open arms A super mansion with a dark blue roof and white walls appeared before his eyes.

Under the umbrella opened by the little assistant, and greeted by four maids, Andy stepped into the house. The grand foyer, with extremely luxurious finishes, is divided into three directions, leading to three main rooms.

The warm-toned decoration style is full of British atmosphere. There is an amazing bay window in the living room, from which you can clearly see the beautiful bay. The living room opens to a formal dining room and garden with a huge south facing window that floods the room with natural light.

"Sir, the roof is a viewing platform, but today's weather is too bad..."

Andy stood in front of the glass sliding door and looked at the spacious viewing platform. He couldn't help but smiled and nodded when he heard the maid's words. A group of people went downstairs through the spiral staircase. There was a large swimming pool in the basement, a spa room, and a sauna room. , a gym, a private cinema, and a wine storage room that can control the temperature, storing about 1,000 bottles of vintage wine.

After walking around, Andy can be said to be very satisfied with the mansion converted from a school. Although there is a gap compared with his Flower of Liss, this does not prevent Andy from being satisfied with this mansion. After all, the location of the mansion is in the center of London. When you close the door, it is a private courtyard. When you open the door, you can see the bustling city. You can walk to top shopping malls, grand theaters and various bars in two steps. This kind of "manor in the city" "It's very attractive to a lot of people.

There is a saying in the real estate industry that the three essentials of buying a home are "location! location! location!" London's "location" on the world map has become an unparalleled "golden location" in the eyes of many people.

The location of Andy's mansion is Kensington Street, known as the "Royal District", so this mansion has been continuously appreciating since the moment it was bought.

The four maids in the mansion were all assigned by Andy's butler George Jr. a long time ago. Although more professional and well-trained maids can be found in Kensington, Andy trusts Jr. more in terms of trust. George sent his own people. After all, these maids were constantly instilled with various targeted rules when they were trained, unlike the popular version trained by the British housekeeper school. Although they are professional, they are too professional. With a non-disclosure agreement, it is inevitable that you will encounter unruly people.
