Chapter 101 The Most Expensive Street in the World

The middle-aged maid probably knew of Li Changheng's existence from Annie's mouth early in the morning. She smiled and knelt down to say hello, "Good morning, sir."

Some of the four bodyguards had smiling faces, while others had dignified expressions and scrutinized eyes, but luckily none of them showed hostility in their eyes.

This made Li Changheng feel better.

And after a little recollection, I remembered that when I was dating Annie in a small town on the outskirts of London a few days ago, the female voice who knocked on the door to remind me should be the woman in front of me.

In other words, this woman should be called Meryl, not only Annie's personal maid, but also must have been by her side very early, this should be her real confidant!

However, Li Changheng will still have the precautions and vigilance he should have.

There are too many scenes of being betrayed by cronies in movies, TV, and novels.

Taking the rattan basket from Annie's hand, Li Changheng smiled and said, "After I finish breakfast, shall we go and see the house?"

Since he wanted to meet Philip, he had to let the old man know that he was capable of supporting Annie.

And a good house is the most direct embodiment.

Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid as to spend a lot of money in recent days when the bank was stolen, buying a mansion in London with all the money, and looking at the house is not so simple, it's fast enough to see it in ten days and a half months.

In addition, he has the idea of ​​procrastinating for time, Li Changheng prefers to be short this time, even if he delays buying until next year, he must buy a satisfactory house.

And Annie, who originally wanted to go to see the sea fishing yacht with Li Changheng, heard about the house, so she didn't care about other things.

Holding Li Changheng's arm, he walked into the suite, and after thinking about it, he asked Meryl and the bodyguards to stay in the living room, and he and Li Changheng went to sit at the small table on the balcony.

"Honey, are you really determined to settle in London?"

Li Changheng looked at the scene of the city of London outside the hotel, nodded with a smile, "Well, I want to meet you and me more, of course I have to buy a house in London."

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Annie's face. She not only took out the tableware and food with her own hands, but also moved the table closer, and sat next to Li Changheng to watch him eat breakfast.

Scrambled eggs, baked sausages, french fries, croissants and English breakfast tea, just change into formal clothes.

Under Annie's gentle gaze, she stood still and let her tie her tie in a strange way.

After dawdling for more than ten minutes, the two of them walked out of the bedroom and went to see the villa by the Thames River that Annie had taken a fancy to before. Li Changheng was not satisfied after only a few minutes.

Not to mention that the townhouse is a bit small, and there are canal ships passing by every day, and there is a football field just 200 meters away, so he directly rejected this house.

Standing on the balcony on the third floor of the villa, looking at the countless figures outside the Craven Farm Stadium waiting to enter the stadium, Li Changheng felt that if he lived here, Anne would be recognized within a month.

Seeing Li Changheng shaking his head, Annie suddenly grabbed his arm and shook it a few times, making Li Changheng ask in surprise, "Don't tell me you're a Fulham fan?"

Anne quickly shook her head, "But I've never been to the stadium to watch a game."

"Then after I buy the stadium, you can watch it however you want."

"That's fine," Anne said with a curled lip. "I heard from Charles that it's hard to make money running a team and a stadium."

"This is not necessarily the case."

Unknowingly, more than ten days have passed.

Seven or eight days ago, there were no newspapers, and when they reported the news of the theft of the Lauder Bank, there were occasional tabloids that broke the news that the matter was not that simple, and there were vague hints that it might be related to the royal family.

The hotel waiter and the lobby manager discussed this matter with him, and it changed every few days.

The latest news is that there was corruption in the Baker Street branch, and the bank was stolen and burned, all by the insiders themselves.

Otherwise, ordinary thieves just steal things, do they need a fire to burn the vault?

This is obviously to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces. Some people even say that the money and jewelry in the vault have been stolen by them long ago.

And this kind of statement has easily become the mainstream.

It has to be said that MI5's ability to act is a mess, but its ability to control people's hearts is indeed not low.

While suppressing the media, it is clear that in the eyes of ordinary people, thieves stealing are not as explosive as guards stealing.

However, this is a good thing for Li Changheng.

Ten days later, if there was any evidence against him, the police and people from MI5 would have come to him long ago.

Just after waking up that day, the phone rang. As soon as the phone was connected, Anne faltered and said, "Honey, I found out about a house on Kensington Garden Street, but the price is a bit expensive at 2.2 million pounds."

Kensington Garden Street, as the name suggests, is Kensington Palace, a street outside the garden on the east side.

In the future, it will be known as the most expensive street in London, and even the most expensive street in the world.

Annie, her two older brothers, and some members of the royal family all have separate villas in Kensington Palace, so if Li Changheng made his home here, it would be much easier for the two to meet each other.

After sitting in the car and watching the whole Huayuan Avenue, Li Changheng immediately decided to buy a house here.

Since the money is not enough, then go to the bank.

Anyway, as long as you leave London and go to a few offshore islands, the old banknotes of 2 million pounds will all be turned into gold.

Then use this gold as collateral, I believe that any bank is willing to lend him a loan.

Therefore, Li Changheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have been mobilizing funds these days. At worst, I will make a down payment first, and then use the house as collateral to go to the bank for a loan."

The house was a favorite at first glance, but the owner seemed to have encountered some difficulties and had to pay in full, not to mention the full amount, within five days.

Even this middle-aged man named Folt, who has a jazz title, is willing to introduce the Bank of England to intervene, with a down payment of 10%, and using the house as collateral, the bank is willing to lend.

Li Changheng's first thought was that there was fraud, and it seemed like a tailor-made plan for himself.

Knowing that he didn't have enough money, he said that a down payment of 10% would do.

Knowing that he was interested in the location and location, the house on Kensington Garden Avenue suddenly sold.

With his suspicious personality, it would be strange if he didn't suspect that there was a problem.

However, he wanted to see who was playing his tricks.

Now that he decided to cooperate with the people behind the scenes, Li Changheng not only hired a lawyer to discuss the contract, but also asked UBS to participate in the review of the contract as the payment bank.

After negotiating a down payment of 800,000 U.S. dollars, the annual mortgage payment of 220,000 pounds will be paid every year, and the ten-year contract will only take 3 days.

Now he is waiting to sign the contract, and the house will be his if he pays 800,000 US dollars.

I thought the homeowner would regret it, but I didn't expect Folt to sign it without any hesitation, and even stamped it with the family seal.

Now he has no chance to regret it.

Li Changheng couldn't help but look at the lawyer he had hired, as well as a manager of UBS London and the bank's own lawyer.

The barrister, who spent two thousand pounds, said with a smile, "I guarantee that there is nothing wrong with this contract, sir."

The first thought in Li Changheng's mind was, wouldn't this bastard be bought by someone?

When he was thinking and hesitating, he suddenly saw that Sir named Folt, and there was a taste of jealousy and envy in his eyes.
