"Two gentlemen, these are the office buildings selected according to your needs. This one is from the Burbank area, and also from the Santa Monica area, Oh. This one is near Hollywood. The price is relatively expensive."
In the lobby of the real estate agency, the real estate manager named Raymond skillfully handed the information files to Eric and Jeffrey. Now that we have decided to establish a new Firefly Film Studio, we should first rent an office space for the company, and now we have the situation.
As they listened to Raymond's introduction, they looked at the materials and discussed with each other.
I do n’t know why. In Eric, Raymond felt that his eyes were a little weird, and he seemed to be eager to try. Finally, during a conversation, Raymond couldn't help asking: "Ask me, Mr. Williams, are you the young Director of shoots" Home Alone "?"
Eric raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party ’s expression. The middle-aged man in front of his eyes should not be his own fans. Nodded. Eric readily admitted his identity: "Mr. Raymond That ’s right, do you have any questions? ”
Raymond determined the doubt in his mind, and then said: "It is like this, Mr. Williams, I do n’t know if you are interested in the Beverly Mansion, we just have a Beverly Hills roofed mansion with an area of about 6,000 square feet. Close to Sunset Boulevard, convenient transportation, the most important thing is ... privacy is very good. "
When it comes to the last few words, Raymond ’s expression is a bit unnatural. Obviously, the other party read the gossip of 《Los Angeles Metropolis News》 about Eric today, and then the idea of selling a luxury house came up temporarily.
I have to say that the timing of this property manager is quite good. Eric is troubled by those pervasive paparazzis. The sales of this manager is in the middle of Eric.
The Jeffrey next to him said well at this time: "Eric, I also feel that you need to change your residence. It is not safe for you to live alone in the North Hollywood with your current net worth."
Eric nodded and asked: "Mr. Raymond, if I am interested, when can we go to the house?"
Raimster was very happy, and nodded immediately: "It's okay now, the owner will hand over the mansion to our sole agency, the key is here with us."
After listening to Eric, I was not in the mood to choose an office building, leaving a check for Jeffrey to decide on his own. Then I drove to Raymond with Beverly Hills.
According to Raymond's guidance, more than half an hour later, the two came outside a mansion on Beverly Hills: "It's here, Mr. Williams."
Getting off the car, the first thing Eric saw was a wall that was nearly two meters high. A dense verdant canopy was found inside the wall.
Raymond introduced next to him: "Mr. Williams, you see, the privacy of this mansion is quite good, the surrounding wall is high enough, and the dense vegetation inside, completely cut off the risk of paparazzi secret photography. And this There are no street lights around the mansion, and there are two front and back gates, which is very suitable for public figures like you. "
Eric nodded with satisfaction: "Raymond, shall we go in and see?"
"Oh, of course." Raymond quickly pulled out the key to open the door of the mansion, and invited Eric to go sideways.
"Please see, Mr. Williams, the main villa with a modern style is designed by Edward Niles Design Company, which has four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two kitchens. 10 car can be parked in the garage, there are outside Open-air bath, pocket basketball court, by the way, through the balcony on the second floor, you can overlook the entire large Los Angeles, Los Angeles at night, the brightly lit scenery is very charming ... "
Eric listened to manager's skillful introduction and patiently transferred a mansion of about 600 square meters.
"Raymond, how much is this mansion?"
Raymond froze for a moment, and soon there was a trace of ecstasy in his heart. Eric did n’t ask all kinds of at sixes and sevens questions like other viewers, but directly asked the price, the success rate of this business Obviously great.
The owner of this mansion was forced to sell his beloved mansion because of the losses suffered in the stock market crash last year, but the other party did not reach the point of exhaustion, and the price offered was relatively high, so this The house has been crushed by Raymond's agency for almost half a year.
Suppressing the joy in my heart, Raymond said quietly on the surface: "2 million USD, Mr. Williams."
The first reaction of Eric was that it was so cheap, but it soon came to mind that it was 1988, not the twenty-first century where house prices rose to prosperity. It seems that Michael · Jackson purchased the 11 square kilometers of dream estate last year, only 19500,000 USD. Obviously, the price of this luxury house 2 million USD is a bit expensive.
While Eric is not short of money now, it is not an injustice and turned to stare at the property manager: "Raymond, you also understand that I am sincere in buying, so give me an actual price Well, two million USD is obviously impossible. "
Raymond showed a painful expression and said: "So, 1,950,000 USD, there can be no less."
"1 million." Eric offered its own price.
Raymond almost jumped up and shouted in surprise: "This is impossible!"
At present, it is not popular for Chinese to buy a home in North America, so Raymond is the first time he has encountered this kind of heart-wrenching first way of bargaining-waist cut.
As if insulted, Raymond stalked his neck: "Mr. Williams, if you bid like this, we do n’t have to talk anymore."
Eric saw that the other party was really angry and quickly laughed: "Okay, Okay, Raymond, just kidding. But you are too sincere, only cheaper 50,000 USD."
Although Raymond is still a little unhappy, but the other party is a big customer after all, if he sells this mansion, he can also draw a large commission, so his expression quickly calms down: "Mr. Eric, The owner of this mansion is not too short of money, and you can let someone identify, a whole set of luxury custom furniture and other decoration in the villa, the cost is not less than 500,000 USD, so the price is very high, originally The other party was determined to be 2 million USD. After some persuasion, we agreed to the 100,000 USD discount. Therefore, 1,900,000 USD is already the cheapest price. "
After talking, Raymond waited for the decision of Eric, obviously there was no room for negotiation on the price.
Eric thought for a moment, he really liked this villa, and finally nodded: "Raymond, if I decide to buy, how long can I live in?"
Raymond said: "If you can pay the full amount, we can do all the handover procedures for you, and you can move in within three days. If you need a bank loan, the time must be slightly longer."
Sure enough, it is a country where money is omnipotent. Eric remembered a friend of previous life bragging about his experience of buying a house in Los Angeles.
Eric finally chose the full amount. The two returned to the intermediary company in Raymond. Eric called Edward · Lewis ’office and asked the other party to send a lawyer familiar with the real estate business. A check, the rest is basically handed over to a private lawyer.
Jeffrey · Hansson also selected an office building located at Burbank as the office location of Firefly Film Studio. Eric glanced at it and expressed satisfaction, and things were settled like this.
After a busy day, I came back home in the evening. Eric just glanced and found that there were more paparazzi nearby. These guys were obviously stimulated by the gossip this morning, and wanted to get some value from themselves. News.
For these people, Eric can only helplessly pretend not to see.
After taking a shower after dinner, Eric came to the bedroom in loose-fitting home clothes. After thinking about it, I started writing script of 《Pretty Woman》. As for the novel "Resident Evil" that Michael · Claus urged several times, Eric directly Choose to drag first, anyway, Michael · Claus is urged to get used to it, and Eric is used to listening and listening.
In the following days, Eric followed the busy establishment of Jeffrey during the day and set up Film Studio, writing script at night, and thought that the matter with Drew and Aniston, even if the media with ulterior motives will be ruthlessly ruined for a few days, the event will eventually follow other stars. Like sex scandal, it is gradually taking its toll, and who knows this has a tendency to get louder and louder, and the trend of mountain rain is more and more obvious.
