Rebirth of England

"Eight million pounds?"

Upon hearing Viscount Bute's offer, Barron raised his eyebrows and his expression darkened:

"I'm afraid this price is not sincere, Your Excellency Viscount."

"I can understand your thinking, Lord Barron. If that is a normal residential land, based on its location, it would be worth at least 20 million pounds..."

Viscount Bute was not too surprised by Barron's reaction. He still said to Barron calmly:

"But first of all, your piece of land was originally used to build gas storage tanks for the gas company. Therefore, although the gas storage tanks have been scrapped, the land is still industrial land. If you want to carry out commercial development and build residential buildings, If it is for building or commercial use, the land properties need to be changed..."

In England, similar to China, the land bought and sold also includes agricultural land, industrial land, commercial or residential land, etc. It is not that you can build whatever you want after buying the land, but it must be based on the properties of the land. for use.

If you want to change the properties of the land, you must obtain approval from the relevant government departments, otherwise you will be punished.

According to Viscount Bute, the land owned by the Duke of Devonshire family near King's Cross Station is itself industrial land. Although the location is good, it cannot be measured according to the value of residential land.

"The price of industrial land is definitely much lower, and more importantly, there are three huge abandoned gas storage tanks on that land. In order to dismantle them, a lot of extra money will be spent, so the price of 8 million pounds , which is already very reasonable.”

Barron was somewhat noncommittal about these words of Viscount Bute.

He knew that what the other party said was probably the truth, but equally, since Viscount Bute was so active in wanting to buy the land, it also meant that there was definitely value in it that made him excited.

If Barron is really facing a family financial crisis as Viscount Bute believes, then I am afraid that in that case, there is a high probability that he will still choose to sell the land - even if he will contact him more before that Some buyers strive to raise the price slightly, but the final selling price will not differ much.

But in fact, Barron has already had a solution to this financial crisis, so in this case, a plot of land near the center of London will be more expensive for him - after all, he also knows that what will happen next In recent years, land prices in London have continued to rise, and the magnitude is not small.

Most importantly, land in a good location is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

After all, the purpose of coming to Viscount Bute for the banquet this time was not only to see what kind of conditions the other party would propose, but also to obtain more information through direct contact with the other party - he also I would like to know whether Viscount Bute was behind the previous reports on the family's financial crisis?

"I still need to ask other people's opinions on this matter..."

"I can understand this. After all, I just took over the family not long ago. I just hope I won't be kept waiting too long."

After Barron found reasons to evade, these words of Viscount Bute are very interesting...

…

"Thank you for your hospitality. I hope to invite you to my place next time."

"It's an honor, Lord Barron..."

When Barron was leaving, Viscount Bute held his hand and said:

"Regarding the land for the gas storage tank, you can call me at any time. I'm waiting for your reply."

"Mr. Barron..."

Just when Barron turned around to leave, he heard Bonnie say to him:

"I just have to go home. If I'm on my way, can I give you a lift?"

"That's no problem, I'll be happy to serve you."

Just like that, when leaving Viscount Bute's house, the pretty Miss Bonnie got into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce with Barron.

"Miss Bonnie, where do you live?"

"I'm over at Bayswater. If it's too far away, just drop me off nearby."

"It's not far, it's very close to my place."

Barron really wasn't lying. Bayswater was right next door to Kensington where he lived, but Kensington was on the north side of Chelsea where he is now, and Bayswater was also on the north side of Kensington...

"Does Miss Bonnie live with her family?"

The Rolls-Royce was driving on Kings Road. After a brief silence in the car, Barron took the initiative to chat.

"Mr. Barron, you can just call me Bonnie. I live in my own rented house now. My parents are in Southampton."

"Then you can just call me Barron from now on. Bonnie, I'm a little curious. You majored in psychology in college. Why do you think of becoming a host after graduation..."

"It can be regarded as a coincidence. I was working as a model in my spare time. Later, I participated in a competition, and then I met someone from the TV station. I tried my current job on the recommendation of the other person... Besides, how many people can really do this? I hope to engage in my own professional job after graduation. Fortunately, I still enjoy my current work and life very much.”

"Indeed, you are very lucky to be able to find your interests and get good opportunities."

Barron's words were actually inspired by his previous life. In his previous life, his original ideal was to be a cartoonist, and he did have some talent, but in the end he was "forced by life." ", entered the financial industry, until he came to this world inexplicably...

However, to Bonnie's ears, his words sounded a bit like... Versailles, so she said lightly:

"Of course, my life is incomparable to that of a big shot like you. Born in a noble family, many things that we can't achieve no matter how hard we try, are within easy reach for you."

In response, Barron just smiled lightly and said:

"The gift that fate gives you has already been marked with a secret price. Just like me, it seems that the title and family property are within easy reach, but before that, I need to work hard for the future of my family."

While saying this, Barron looked at the street scene receding under the street lights outside the car.

The light reflected on his face through the car window. From Bonnie's perspective, against the light outside the window, his side face was like a sharp silhouette, adding a bit of melancholy. For a moment, she felt My heart beat faster.

When the Rolls-Royce slowly parked in front of an apartment, the two of them realized that they had arrived at the residence that Bonnie had mentioned before.

Time flies really fast.

This sentence appeared in the minds of the two people in the back seat almost at the same time.

"I'm here. Thank you, Barron. It's nice to meet you today."

"Me too, Bonnie."

When he saw the girl opening the car door, slightly raising her long legs wrapped in gray stockings, and preparing to get out of the car, Barron said:

"By the way, can you leave your phone number? Maybe, um, I'll ask you some questions about the TV show, or have time to have a drink together?"

"Actually, I'm not that proficient in TV programs, and I don't really like drinking..."

Bonnie turned to look at Barron and smiled:

"But I'd love to give you my number."
