The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Manors are the standard equipment for the rich in the UK. In China, local tyrants basically buy villas in cities, while most of the rich in the UK like to live in manors.

There are big and small manors, the small ones are more than ten acres, and the big ones are even worth half of London. Naturally, prices vary. Except for some historical relics that are not for sale, basically the older the manor of the same size in the UK, the cheaper it is.

That's right, if you want to take down an ancient building in China, or the courtyard house in Yanjing, it will cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. But if you want to buy an old manor or castle in the UK or Europe, the price is too low for you to imagine.

There are even some contracts that you can buy for 1 euro, but then the maintenance fee of those contracts will definitely drive anyone who buys it crazy.

Therefore, if local tyrants in Europe and the United States have money and want a manor of their own, they will definitely stagger those manors that need historical repairs and cultural relics protection that cannot be changed. Choose those more modern manors to buy, or just get a piece of land and build it yourself.

Yang Dongxu also has real estate in the UK, but the real estate in his hands is basically a high-end apartment for investment, but the manor did not buy it.

After all, even if it is a modern manor, the annual maintenance cost is absolutely high, which surprises you. In addition to the various servants and other usage fees that the manor requires as standard, the return on investment is actually not as good as some high-end apartments.

Toy has his own manors in the UK and the US. Some of the extremely valuable things he owns, such as jewelry and antiques, he believes in the safes he built more than the safes in the bank.

Therefore, he has a large manor with more than 500 acres of land in the UK. He bought the land from the government and built it himself.

Today, a small gathering was held in this luxurious manor surrounded by greenery and mainly white. Partying is the main way British people spend their weekends entertaining.

Especially for the rich and famous aristocrats, or people in the upper class. If no one invites you to a party over the weekend, you're basically cut out of high society.

And if you can't invite some people of status to your party, it proves that you are basically not in the social circle in London.

In addition to some high-end guests, there will be some models and celebrities to attend the banquet of entertainment nature, while the banquet of private nature basically invites their own friends.

Today's banquet belongs to the weekend, where everyone gathers to brag and connect with each other. It belongs to the nature that you hold it this week, and I will hold it next week and everyone takes turns.

Therefore, the requirements for banquet guests are not as strict as those of private banquets, so apart from some well-known people, there are also many starlets and models, both male and female.

The birthday of the rich, or the parties held to celebrate other things, as well as the party-like banquets held in private manors, are these male and female starlets or models looking for diamond kings, or looking for gold masters to invest in themselves one of the channels.

Usually, as long as the host of the event releases the news, many second- and third-rate stars and models will take the initiative to participate without spending money. Of course, if you want to invite some big names to increase your face, or want to have something to do with these people who came here on their own initiative, then you need to take money out of your own pocket.

The banquet held by Toy was semi-open, so in addition to the invited guests, a lot of starlets and models came to make the whole banquet look very lively.

"Did you like it?" At the railing on the second floor of the manor, Toy was leaning against the railing with a glass of red wine, and beside him Yang Dongxu was holding a glass of champagne. The two of them chatted one after another, looking at the front lawn Bustling with men and women.

Compared with the bustling on the lawn, the downstairs hall is a bit deserted, but the guests in the hall are also more distinguished, belonging to the kind of upper-class elites who are invited to contact each other and talk about things before each other.

Those little stars or models who came uninvited, even if they wanted to go to the toilet, would be inquired by the servants outside, who politely led them around the hall to go to the toilet in the side room.

So at this time, among the people who are chatting with each other lively on the lawn, there are quite a few handsome men and women looking at the hall downstairs from time to time. If anyone walks out of the hall, whether it is a gluttonous old man or a young brat Children will be very welcome.

Faced with Toy's teasing, Yang Dongxu didn't speak, but just smiled. Looking at the scenery in the distance, I don't know what to think.

"You're still as boring as before." Troy pouted, then said after a moment of pondering, "If it's not necessary, it's best to keep some distance from Natasha."

Yang Dongxu frowned and looked at Toy with some puzzlement. This warning was obviously not because the relationship between Toy's family and the Gut family was not harmonious, or even hostile.

"She is very interested in the position of the future successor of the Gut family, and wants to be the queen of the Gut family. But although her brother's ability is not so outstanding, it seems to be a little bit worse than her, but he is not a Fuel-saving lamps.

More importantly, Old Gut seems to feel that it is more reliable to hand over her family business to her son than to her daughter, so she wants to take over the power in Old Gut's hands. There is a long way to go and more efforts will be made. . said Toy.

"For example, on behalf of the Gut family, who on stage is she helping to rectify the banking and financial markets?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"This is a thankless task. Even if it is successful, it will be affirmed by someone on the stage. But it will also offend many people. This will do more harm than good to her wanting to take over the Gut family."

"The job that Old Gut arranged for her?" Yang Dongxu asked.

Toy shrugged without saying a word.

"I haven't had any cooperation with her in these years. Even if I find her as an intermediary, I still pay for it. It has nothing to do with her family affairs or who is on stage." Yang Dongxu took a sip of the champagne in his glass.

"That means she hasn't found you yet."

"Huh?" Yang Dongxu frowned, and looked at Troy in surprise and doubt.

"I don't need to tell you about Russia's economy. The banking industry and the financial market are simply a mess. Arrest some people, or shoot some people, and at most this circle will calm down.

But if you want to improve the banks and financial markets, you need to invest. After all, you can't just rely on the central bank to print money to live. That is not to make this industry better, but to feed poison to this industry.

If things go on like this, maybe the banking industry will explode like the disintegration of the former Soviet Union." Toy made a fist with his left hand and then opened his fingers in an instant to make a gesture of explosion.

"I admit that I have a little money, and I have made some achievements over the years. But to save Russia's financial market, are you overestimating me?" Yang Dongxu looked at Toy with some amusement.

"That's a big quagmire. Even if you throw a few of the big conglomerates of the United States into it, it won't be enough. Someone on the stage may have this extravagant wish, but he knows it's just a dream. Natasha knows it too Its own weight, so no one would be so stupid to jump into it, but it’s not impossible to save it all, but it’s not impossible to partially make it better.”

"For example?"

"For example, let some businesses of the bank start to make profits instead of a pile of bad debts. Let some rich people in the country have more confidence in the banking industry, instead of worrying all day long that their money in the bank will be confiscated for no reason. It is," said Toy.

Yang Dongxu frowned, as if he had guessed something vaguely.

"Well, here comes your trouble."

While he was still pondering what Toy said, a convoy drove in, which attracted the attention of many people on the lawn. Natasha walked out from the open car door, and looked up at the people who were talking with him on the balcony on the second floor. Yang Dong-wook of Toy talking.

Then he walked into the hall without stopping, and went directly to the second floor.

"I'll go down to greet the other guests first, and you can talk slowly. If there is a need, there are many comfortable bedrooms in the manor with large and comfortable beds. You can just tell the servants which one you want to go to. Even if you go to My master bedroom is also fine." Toy shook the wine glass in his hand and patted Yang Dongxu's shoulder, with a smile on his face that any man could understand.

These words did not avoid Natasha, so Natasha who came over frowned, looking at Troy with a dangerous light in her eyes. But Troy chose to ignore her gaze and walked past her directly.

For this unwelcome guest, if you directly refuse the other party to enter, it is obviously tantamount to tearing the face. But now his uncle doesn't want to be an enemy of the Gut family, but if he doesn't want to be an enemy, it doesn't mean that he will greet him with a smile when he meets him.

"I have encountered some troublesome things recently." Troy left, Natasha put away her squinted eyes, waved her hand to let the manor servant who was standing not far away ready to serve at any time leave, walked up to Yang Dongxu and said .

"You know there are some things I don't want to get involved in." Yang Dongxu put the champagne in his hand aside, left the balcony, walked into the house and sat down on the sofa.

"Some oil fields in the Middle East and some minerals in Australia, or those in Africa. You can choose to take the mineral deposits and develop them yourself, or take dividends from them every year." Natasha said.

Yang Dongxu frowned completely, and the conditions offered by Natasha were undoubtedly very attractive. But precisely because it is too tempting, the price he needs to pay will undoubtedly be greater.

After a long silence, Yang Dongxu asked, "What do I need to do?"

Although he knew it might be a piece of poisoned cake, but it was too tempting, and he couldn't hold back the greed in his heart. In other words, he felt that after swallowing this piece of cake, it would not necessarily poison him to death, but it would be a delicious meal.
