Chapter 1328 Repurchase in London
"Bang!"
Andy, who had just walked out of the cabin, looked back and the little assistant who was stretching out a black umbrella, couldn't help but look up at the gloomy London sky. The drizzle was annoying, and the cold wind made the windbreaker roar.
London, which has entered a long "gray" winter, is undoubtedly the bright and bright sunshine.
“This damn weather is so annoying!”
Andy got into the car, frowned and complained as he watched the rain dripping on the window.
"Autumn in London is very short. Now it should be considered early winter in the UK, and there will be more rain and snow. However, the forecast indicates that the rain will stop." The little assistant explained while taking out a British phone number from his bag and turning it on, while checking the text messages and emails on the Great Devil's work phone.
"Boss, we will arrive in half an hour." The little assistant picked up his cell phone and called out. After answering it, he hung up the phone after he finished speaking in a concise and clear manner.
“Filimore Garden is ready.”
Andy nodded. When he first came to London in September last year, he asked his think tank to use offshore companies under his name to find suitable properties in London. Although he was not very familiar with the situation in the UK in his previous life, he had read the news that Wang Yiyi spent tens of millions of pounds to buy a luxury house in London. So he knew that after the financial crisis, the London real estate market was blown up with a huge bubble.
Andy will never let go of the business that makes money, not to mention that London has a secret "advantage" and "tax haven".
London sells countless luxury houses every year, but few owners registered with real names. Most of them buy them in the name of a company, and their registration locations are mostly in familiar duty-free areas. Many people don’t know that the largest "player" in the offshore system of the global duty-free area is not Switzerland or Cayman Islands, but the United Kingdom.
Under British law, holding property, especially when capital gains arise from transfer of ownership, requires various taxes, but property held by offshore companies is often tax-free.
In this way, you can avoid inheritance tax through this method. In addition to not only avoiding the need to pay British taxes, you also have the opportunity to avoid investigations from the domestic tax department or judicial department.
Secretly experiencing Chencang in the name of offshore companies is an open secret in the London luxury housing market. Due to the concern of not paying taxes, housing prices are repeatedly raised. When most real estate markets are still sluggish, it is not strange that London has repeatedly "self-entertained" people.
The offshore company specially established by Andy, who bought London property, now has six luxury houses worth more than £20 million, and has also prepared a preparatory school for women in Kensington, a famous wealthy district in London.
A major renovation costing of tens of millions of pounds began in October last year. After 12 months of luxurious renovation, it is now a super luxury house with 10 bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, a gym, a sauna, a private cinema and a bomb emergency shelter room with tight security systems.
To be honest, at the beginning, Andy learned through the briefing that his subordinates bought him a very beautiful school building with blue roof and white walls. He was a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he wanted to cover it up and sell it at a high price.
But in February this year, he received a call from his subordinates. Yelena, the wife of Pinchuk, the second richest man in Ukraine, offered 80 million pounds to buy the decorated Filimore Garden mansion, and Andy realized that the price increase in London was crazy.
After he saw the decoration renderings, he didn't even hesitate and refused the other party's offer. After all, he also needed to have a real place to settle in London, and this Victorian-style Filimore Garden was undoubtedly favored by him.
Andy tried every means to avoid taxes in the United States, let alone pay taxes to the British. His branch on London Financial Street earned him a lot of pounds. If he turned back to the United States, he would almost be snatched away half of it by the US government. He would do that unless he was crazy. Since the British government has opened the tax avoidance door, how could Andy miss it!
Andy's convoy quickly drove into the Kensington area and soon arrived at the destination. Surrounded by tall trees with yellow and yellow due to the arrival of winter, a five-story main building and a dark blue roof with open arms, a super mansion with white walls appeared in front of you.
Under the umbrella opened by the little assistant and welcomed by four maids, Andy stepped into the house. The magnificent foyer, with extremely luxurious finishes, divided into three directions, leading to three main rooms.
The warm-toned decoration style is full of British atmosphere, and the living room has an amazing bay window that clearly shows the beautiful bay. The living room leads to a formal dining room and garden, which has a huge south-facing window that fills the room with natural light.
"Sir, the roof is a viewing platform, but today's weather is too bad..."
Andy stood in front of the glass door and looked at the spacious viewing platform. He couldn't help but smile and nodded when he heard the maid's words. The group walked downstairs through the spiral stairs. The oversized swimming pool, spa, sauna in the basement, gym, private cinema, wine pantry that can control temperature, stored about 1,000 bottles of vintage wine.
After walking around, Andy was very satisfied with the mansion converted into the school. Although there was a little difference compared to his Flower of Les, this did not prevent Andy from being satisfied with the mansion. After all, the mansion was located in the center of London. It was a private courtyard when closed and opened, and it was a prosperous city. After two steps, you could reach top shopping malls, large theaters and various bars. This kind of "manor in the city" is very attractive to many people.
There is a saying in the real estate industry that the three main points of property purchase are "position! location! location!" and London's "position" to the world map has become an unparalleled "prime location" in the eyes of many people.
Andy's mansion is located in Kensington Street, known as the "Royal Neighborhood", so this mansion has been constantly appreciating since the moment he bought it.
The four maids in the mansion were all sent by Andy for a long time by his butler, George Little. Although more professional and well-trained maids can be found in Kensington, in terms of trust, Andy believes more in his own people sent by George Little. After all, these maids were constantly instilled with various rules against Xing when they were trained, rather than the popular version trained by the British Housekeeper School. Although they are professional, they are too professional. Even if there is a confidentiality agreement, they will inevitably encounter people who do not abide by the rules.
