Chapter 465 A fly in the ointment and the F1 desert

"...What a beautiful house."

Looking at the beautiful Gothic castle standing white on the green grass in front of me.

Monica Cruz couldn't help but said with emotion.

Next to the Spanish model stands her sister Penelope Cruz.

And Sophie Marceau from France.

It was already noon on the second day after they arrived from France.

They followed Abel and left No. 1, Palace Garden Street, Kensington, and arrived at Twickenham, Richmond upon Thames, London.

The exact address is 268 Waldegrave Road, Fourth Street, Twickenham, London.

This is where Strawberry Hill House was built more than 200 years ago by the British writer Horace Walpole, the son of the first Prime Minister in British history.

Looking at the beautiful castle in front of me that has been almost repaired and full of medieval classical temperament.

It means that the two absolute big countries, the United States and China, are in a mess in terms of their football strength and industry.

It can be mentioned to the British Crown and then recovered by the country.

It's not that Americans don't like racing, but that Americans like racing differently from other countries.

Over in China, foreigners are very strict about purchasing real estate, so they can't do it too blatantly.

Any one of these acquisitions is worth millions or even tens of millions of pounds.

Thinking of last night, my sister politely thanked Abel in front of him, and she looked so happy now.

It should have been sold very expensively.

"Wow!" Monica Cruz was surprised.

After listening to Lawrence Eagleberg's "complaint", Abel smiled and said softly.

In other parts of the world, when an F1 racing driver appears, he will be praised by all the stars. But in the United States, perhaps no one recognizes Schumacher even when he walks on the street.

"...Continue with the acquisition. Later I will ask David to transfer another amount of funds into the account of New Starting Real Estate."

That's it, not counting the subsequent costs of maintaining the castle and manor.

Apart from these, even if Abel doesn't stay in it.

The British inheritance tax is still very severe, and nobles with better economic conditions have to sell off their family collections to raise taxes when they inherit property.

Americans say that Abe Smith is the craziest luxury home buyer in the world, and they are absolutely right.

Many British aristocrats whose ancestors were once glorious but are now desperate have been forced to hand over their ancestral homes and properties to the National Trust.

But to win it, Abel actually only spent 15 million pounds.

"Well...I'm their director."

What happened to two sisters with the same man?

As long as this man can support them, Penelope thinks it doesn't matter at all.

What’s even funnier is that American car manufacturers are almost not involved in F1, except for Ford, which once had some involvement with F1.

When two sisters go together, their values ​​will enhance each other.

Not far away, led by the housekeeper.

But when ordinary people live in a place like this, they will experience a psychological jump.

Sophie doesn't have a beautiful sister like Monica.

Even the horrific 2008 crisis will be mitigated and postponed.

Hearing Abel say this, Bernie Ecclestone was a little overjoyed.

And from last year to now, the money spent on maintaining and repairing it has almost exceeded 15 million pounds.

Don't look at Bernie Ecclestone, Abel has taken away control and everything of F1.

Finished dealing with Lawrence Eagleberg.

Even a successful female star would be excited to live here.

This is a country on wheels, but it is also the grave of F1.

If Abel wants to move in, including labor costs, the minimum cost is 50,000 pounds per week.

"But I will support you. Who said I am the boss of F1 now?"

Even Sophie Marceau's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.

The Strawberry Hill Villa in front of you is a first-class historical building in the UK. It covers an area of ​​35.7 hectares in a typical wealthy area like Richmond, London.

Use sex to serve people.

In fact, it’s not just Newstart Real Estate in the UK.

Abel's solution is simple: allocate funds.

In the end, I gave up and just bought a Strawberry Villa, planning to renovate it and stay there occasionally.

Although some houses and properties have been rented out, a monthly rent can be collected.

This is the law of nature, and Penelope takes it for granted.

Only half of the fans who go to Polis Speedway to watch the F1 race are Americans...the other half are the real F1 racing fans from all over the world who come here to watch it.

It would be perfect to spend billions of pounds or dollars to buy some houses.

But there was some feeling of envy in her heart.

But because he was still in his position, and the incident was not reported much.

The history can be traced back to 1765. Except for the different style, it is no worse than the castle mansion in the "Downton Abbey" film and television series.

Because the British New Starting Point Real Estate Company has been established for almost a year.

New Starting Point Real Estate Company of the United Kingdom is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Starting Point Real Estate Company of the United States.

In the UK, there are very few nobles who can afford to maintain a manor without working.

It's still 2002, and the global economy will continue to grow for many years.

Yes, Lawrence Eagleburger is here to complain.

Strawberry Hill Manor is a castle and manor that has cultural characteristics and a long history. It was once the residence of celebrities.

If there are too many warnings and the owner still doesn’t respond.

In terms of maintenance of these castle estates, some of them are in disrepair. Even if all the rooms are painted, it may cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The English Historic and Cultural Heritage Council, which is responsible for, managing and monitoring these castles and estates, has strict restrictions on the renovation and addition of buildings in these castles and estates.

In the past few years, F1 racing in the United States even stopped for almost 10 years.

You can all see New Starting Real Estate, waving checks and contracts to buy houses everywhere.

If you want to continue to acquire properties, you will be unable to do so.

General Motors, Cadillac, Chevrolet, etc., none of these car brands that are household names in the United States and once ranked among the best in the world in terms of sales have even looked at F1.

What's more, this time Neon people and international bulls gave him so much money.

Sophie Marceau looked at Penelope who took her sister into the water with a little contempt.

As the most traditional and prestigious motorsport in the world, F1 has never been able to open up the market in the United States.

This expenditure would require millions of pounds, or even millions of pounds.

He was speaking to Lawrence Eagleburger, director of New Start Real Estate (UK).

After buying it, the castle owner also needs to conduct a comprehensive structural and maintenance inspection of the house every year.

Like its head office in the United States, New Starting Real Estate in the United Kingdom also focuses on the acquisition and purchase of high-end real estate as its main business.

What's more, there are too many castles in the UK. So if the castle has no story, doing this kind of fancy work is basically a money-losing business.

Like Abel's Strawberry Villa, it has all kinds of attributes.

Even Sophie Marceau is no exception.

Last year, I first saw how beautiful Strawberry Hill Manor was after its renovation, and how cheap this old castle manor was.

Such a big, beautiful house and such an important location.

Seeing her confirmation, Penelope's happy eyes turned to Abel who was not far away.

Because in fact, the United States is the retirement home with the “oldest history” of international football, and superstars such as Pele and Cruyff have played their part in the United States.

In addition, Abel likes to buy a house wherever he goes...

Later he discovered that it was useless to collect these things, as they had no possibility of appreciation in value.

The reason for this is that even though these castles and manors have changed owners several times, they have almost never been completely repaired.

It is because the sky-high prices of these castles and manors are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In the beginning, Abel had the mentality of living in a small house.

The subordinate behind him is one of the famous figures in Britain and Europe.

In fact, the same applies to F1 racing. It now attaches great importance to the United States, just like FIFA will attach great importance to China in the future.

Fortunately, China has the protection of the country (sea) and foot (ginseng).

Even in the UK, it is an outstanding mansion.

Because for them, these castles and estates that can only spend money but cannot make money are simply negative assets and will definitely bring them down.

Over time, this kind of castle estate, which symbolized wealth and status in the past, naturally became less and less valuable.

But Abel actually didn’t spend much money to acquire Strawberry Hill Villa.
