Rebirth
Chapter 476
"BOSS, these two days are very lively." That day, Mike John arrived at Li Feng's hotel room and smiled at Li Feng.
"Hahahaha...Isn't that great? I say hello to the once'sun never sets empire'. Now they all know that I'm here. It seems that the effect is really good." Li Feng laughed back. Tao.
Why do you think that after Li Feng decided to buy a mansion last time, he chose Kensington Garden Street for the mansion. As the news spread, it naturally attracted the attention of the London media.
Just a few days later, the real estate agent Alberto brought good news to Li Feng, and three luxury houses totaled 60 million pounds.
Real estate transactions in the UK need to pay more stamp duty instead of paying property tax every year like the American Emperor.
This stamp duty is almost 10% of the selling price, so Li Feng spent a total of almost 66 million pounds.According to the current calculation of 1:1.62, 3 for the pound to the dollar, it is almost 100 million US dollars. With the conclusion of the formal transaction, it naturally caused a sensation in London and even the whole of the UK.
Originally, Li Feng wanted to have one, but he wanted to buy a bargain anyway, so he bought it all without paying attention.
The British media are getting bored recently. The British media who had nothing to report after the end of the Premier League suddenly discovered new and best media materials. Isn't Li Feng, a genius and rich man, just the best news focus?
...
Next, it was naturally lively. After all, such sky-high transactions are rare in London. This is more than 100 million US dollars in cash, and few people can really get it out.Li Feng happened to have a sum of cash on him, which was sold at 5 points from Fetion.
Well, it was all spent at once.You have to know that this house is not ready to live in immediately. For example, the embassy house must be renovated to live in.Similarly, the two connected mansions are fully renovated and will be connected together. In the future, there may be no 18th and 19th, and they will become one place.
Before Li Feng's real estate company has started the decoration design, according to the preliminary plan, all the designs are completed, and it will probably cost 30-50 million US dollars, which is another considerable amount of money.At the same time, as the financial center of Europe, Li Feng's major companies have also begun to establish branches, such as preparing to build the headquarters of the investment department, and the long-existing Feixun UK office.
In addition to the above, there are also real estate companies that are also preparing to establish branches in London. Li Feng is very clear about the potential of London's real estate industry. Therefore, let's see if there is any bargaining or acquisition of properties.
Another point is that, in the spirit of not entering the fields of outsiders, Li Feng gave the business of reconstruction and decoration to his own real estate company, which is also regarded as the real estate company opening an entrance to the London real estate industry. I have to say, from At this point, buying these luxury houses is the right one.
Li Feng even received a call from Kenny, saying that the American emperor was also rumoring that Li Feng was buying a mansion in London. There were various rumors. Some tabloids even claimed that Li Feng was going to transfer his assets to the UK, which was very lively.
For this reason, in Los Angeles, Lin Xilei also held a simple press conference on behalf of herself, explaining the situation, only to explain that this trip to the UK was due to business matters and so on.Similarly, Lin Xilei also began to show up. There are not many Asian beauties like this, so many people are envious of Li Feng.
Although it was not stated at the press conference what Li Feng did when he went to the UK, it turned out that the vast media was able to dig out. It was to buy Rolls-Royce Motor Company, which immediately caused a sensation in the UK and the US. Began to spread in Europe.
...
The United States is naturally very exciting, and even the Los Angeles media called Li Feng an "American hero." The pride of being able to acquire Rolls Royce, a famous British car brand and aristocracy, is naturally exciting and highly appreciated.
In fact, most people in the U.S. are very unwilling to see Britain as the former empire. After all, the U.S. was once a pirate, criminal, etc., a country set up in this way, naturally does not have a good view of the former master, Britain. .
Similarly, competitors suddenly increased. In addition to BMW, which knew the news at the beginning, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, etc. have all joined in. Recently, reports about Rolls-Royce are very lively.
Although the volume of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is less than 1 billion US dollars, but who makes him famous, what is the "best car", "for the royal family, nobles," and many other titles, it is simply Is one of the pronouns of luxury cars.
Coupled with the help of the people, John Bull has such a little vanity and pride in his heart, which has caused the acquisition to become the focus of the entire United Kingdom and affect the nerves of the entire United Kingdom.
Naturally, Li Feng, a young genius who was involved in the trouble and rain in the United States, also declared his excitement in Britain and even Europe. After reading Li Feng's resume, everyone was shocked and called it a miracle of modern wealth.
Well, Li Feng now has a title of "son of the miracle of wealth" in Europe, which is a big hit in Europe.
...
"BOSS, I don't know if there will be new problems with the acquisition of Rolls-Royce now." Mike John said with some worry.
"Oh... what will happen to you?"
"First of all, there is the issue of Rolls-Royce's trademark rights. Because of the Rolls-Royce Aircraft Motor Company, the controlling shareholder of BMW, Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engines controls the trademark rights of Rolls-Royce Motors.
If we acquire Rolls-Royce, we will face an embarrassing situation. We have the right to use the "Flying Goddess" logo and the radiator grille, but there is no way to make a "Rolls-Royce" car; similarly, BMW I got the "Rolls Royce" car name, but I didn't have the right to use the car logo and radiator grille.
In fact, this is also the reason why BMW's offer is so low today. In their opinion, if there is no support from BMW, the Rolls-Royce brand will disappear."
"Damn, is there such a thing?" Li Feng couldn't help exclaiming.
To be honest, Li Feng really doesn’t know what’s going on. He didn’t elaborate on the phone before. Mike John has always asked Li Feng to come to the UK to make decisions. After all, he is only an agent. Many things still require Li Feng, the boss himself. Come to make a decision.
...
What Li Feng didn't know was that such an embarrassment occurred in history. In the history of the previous life, Rolls-Royce was about to go bankrupt, and news of the sale came out, and then auto companies such as BMW and Volkswagen swarmed in.
Among them, BMW has a low price because it holds the Rolls-Royce brand trademark. Originally, BMW thought it was a sure-fire acquisition. As a result, Volkswagen stepped in and used a higher price and better promise, such as agreeing to stay in the UK and not relocating. Waiting for conditions, an agreement was reached.
But BMW's counterattack was very clever. It directly announced the suspension of Rolls-Royce's supply of engines. You must know that this company controls the Rice-Royce trademark. Now, Volkswagen is on the wax.
In the end, Volkswagen sat down to negotiate with the two major German auto giants. BMW eventually paid for the Rolls-Royce logo and the right to use the radiator grille, and stipulated that Rolls-Royce should be produced in 2003.
Volkswagen’s original Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe, UK, can only produce another brand, Bentley. This is why Bentley later replaced Rolls-Royce as the only designated special car for the British royal family. Rolls-Royce Stuart left the UK and became a German company completely.
In this way, the two major brands under Rolls-Royce were divided into two by two German car companies, and the carve-out was finished. Speaking of which, this was one of the problems of the "John Bull".
"The general situation is like this now. BMW offers the lowest price and the most demanding conditions, but because they have the'Rolls-Royce' car brand in their hands, they are the most confident; Volkswagen offers similar prices to us, and the conditions are actually similar to ours.
However, we have more disadvantages. After all, we have no experience in automobile production and there is no auto industry company behind it. Of course, the final choice is now in the hands of Vickers Group."
"Then what do you think we are going to do next?"
...
After listening to Li Feng's question, Mike John suddenly got stuck. Originally, these problems were solved by waiting for Li Feng's arrival. After all, he was only an agent and could not decide many things.
