If this blond young man hadn't said anything, Yang Huan would have really forgotten about him.
The only male of the seventh generation of the Grosvenor family, the first heir to the title of Duke of Westminster, the Earl of Grosvenor.
This illustrious reputation is not built on cover.
Hugh Grosvenor is still studying at Oxford University, but for a person who has never even thought about what he will do in the future, studying is of no use at all.
Coupled with his life background, Oxford University cannot control him.
Therefore, this guy skipped school every now and then.
As soon as he heard that Yang Huan was coming to London to supervise the battle, he immediately rushed back to London from Oxford.
Now, as soon as he heard that the president wanted to buy a house in London, he became even more obligated.
Real estate, this is the old business of their Grosvenor Group.
In the UK, when it comes to real estate, Grosvenor Group is ranked second.
Who dares to say that it is first?
"Master Huan, if you want to buy a house in London, it must be in the Hyde Park area in the West End.
If you want to buy a house in this area, you should come to me."
Yang Huan looked at what this guy said and chuckled, "Are you so awesome?"
Hugh Grosvenor nodded proudly, "You'll know if you try it."
"Okay" Yang Huan nodded, "I'll give it a try with you."
Hugh Grosvenor seemed very happy for Yang Huan's trust and smiled.
"Master Huan, you have to tell me first what kind of house you plan to buy and what specific requirements you have."
Yang Huan thought for a moment, "I don't like trouble.
Old buildings need to be maintained every year.
For me, it's too much trouble.
I like new buildings."
Yang Huan heard Cash Harris mention that many foreign investors come to London to buy houses.
They often choose some old houses, such as townhouses facing the street, or some single-family villas.
What's more, they will Consider some of the old estates in the north.
To put it bluntly, those people buy these houses for one purpose, to pretend I heard that if you live in this old building where nobles used to live, you can catch up with the nobles and transform yourself into a noble.
Yang Huan was not interested in this.
The idea of nobles is too unreliable, especially after seeing those nobles in dire straits.
Moreover, many old buildings are on the British government's heritage protection list.
If you don't pay a sum of money for maintenance every year, the government will confiscate them.
The annual maintenance cost of some old buildings is even higher than the selling price of the house.
Is it necessary?
"The house I want must first be in a good location, with a quiet environment, good security, and sufficient supporting facilities.
Also, the house should be bigger.
There are four of us living in total and we need three rooms.
It is not ruled out that other guests will come.
It is best It’s separate upstairs and downstairs.”
Zhuang Ziqing couldn't help but nod after hearing this.
Long Wu and Feng Jiu must live together.
After hearing this, Hugh Grosvenor nodded, "Okay, I understand.
Let me make a call first."
With that said, he ran to the side and made a phone call.
Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing were sitting in the stands, waiting for the crowd to disperse while discussing buying a house.
Yang Huan has his own house in Southampton, but Southampton is a bit far from London.
They were middle class and couldn't afford a house in the city center, so they were forced to live in the suburbs, or in Southampton.

But our young master Huan doesn’t have money to worry about, so he can’t let his wife travel back and forth every day.
Considering that Zhuang Ziqing will definitely continue to work in London in the future, and the houses in London are currently at their lowest point, it is definitely cost-effective to buy one, so Yang Huan plans to buy a house in the West District.
Previously, Yang Huan used his spare money to buy a lot of real estate in London, but many of them were office buildings or shops.
For example, on Bond Street, Yang Huan bought back the building in Asprey, and also bought several other shops, taking advantage of the situation.
But these properties are definitely not habitable.
The banker announced that he would give Zhuang Ziqing a house in the capital as a dowry, and Yang Huan's father also announced that he would give a house in London for the couple to choose, and then he would pay for it. .
So, if you don’t buy this house, you will suffer a lot, right?
It wasn't long before Hugh Grosvenor returned.
"Master Huan, okay, let's go first, he will be here soon."
Yang Huan has been in the UK for more than a year.
Although he is not very familiar with London, he is very familiar with Knightsbridge Road.
The reason is simple.
London's most famous luxury shopping mall, Harrods, is nearby.
A little further on is Piccadilly Street.
The Wangjiangge branch is located in Harrods.
Yang Huan and his group got off the bus in front of a high-end luxury residential complex.
This is a diamond-shaped building with a unique exterior wall made of glass and steel.
Along the way, a total of four buildings are connected together to form an independent living community.
"Hyde Park One" Zhuang Ziqing has been in London for a long time and immediately recognized where he was.
"Yes, Miss Zhuang, One Hyde Park" Yang Huan smiled after hearing this, "Well, this place is nice."
Just kidding, can the world's leading building king be any worse?
To the north of the community is the scenic Hyde Park, and to the south is Knightsbridge, a shopping paradise.
The location is very good, the transportation is very convenient, and the exterior design is also very outstanding.
Not bad, indeed good
As soon as a group of people got out of the car, a British man carrying a briefcase, wearing a pair of elegant eyes, about thirty years old, and wearing a straight suit came up to them.
"Hello, Master Grosvenor" He first greeted Hugh Grosvenor respectfully.
"Well, Miles, you're here."
Hugh Grosvenor was quite aristocratic and extended his hand to introduce Yang Huan.
"This Mr.
Yang Huan is a distinguished guest of our family and the boss of our Saints fan club.
You know what to do."
Miles still didn't understand, so he nodded immediately, "Understood, Master Grosvenor."
"Guys, please come with me."
With that said, he took the lead towards the gate of the community.
Yang Huan, Zhuang Ziqing, Hugh Grosvenor and others also walked over afterwards.
I kept observing these houses along the way.
Just from the appearance, it is not difficult to see that this community is extremely luxurious and high-end.
"No wonder he is known as the global building king."
Yang Huan chuckled and liked.
"By the way, Hugh, which building did Renato Akmetov buy?"
"The shortest building at the far end," Hugh Grosvenor said with a smile.
Zhuang Ziqing on the side was very surprised.
The two buildings at the front and back of the four buildings are relatively short, and the two buildings in the middle are relatively tall.
One is ten stories and the other is thirteen stories.
Judging from the location, the two buildings in the middle undoubtedly have the best views.

Whether it is Hyde Park behind them or Knightsbridge to the south, they all have a panoramic view.
It can be said that they have a panoramic view of London's bustling night scene.
There was news in the media that Ukrainian tycoon Renato Akmetov bought a mansion at One Hyde Park for a world record of 136 million pounds.
If the shortest building is worth this price, how much do the two middle buildings cost?
The property prices in One Hyde Park are ridiculously high Yang Huan kept holding Zhuang Ziqing's hand, noticed her expression, and smiled slightly, "Money is not an issue, just buy it if you are satisfied."
Zhuang Ziqing had no choice but to follow him in.
"One Hyde Park is the most luxurious real estate in the world.
It is not without reason.
There are a total of eighty-six luxury homes here.
The owners of each luxury home are the richest and most influential people in the world, so this place is basically No need for a sales floor.”
Yang Huan listened to the introduction of the real estate agent Miles Wood and nodded with a smile.
If such a high-end mansion is equipped with a sales hall, it will actually downgrade it.
There are two elevators between every two buildings, one of which is exclusively for the landlords of the penthouse, and the other elevator is for the landlords of the remaining floors.
"Master Huan, I don't know which building or floor I want to see," Miles Wood asked.
"Are all the duplex mansions on the top floor sold out?"
Yang Huan asked.
Miles Wood glanced at Hugh Grosvenor, who nodded, and then he replied: "The ten-story apartment and the top-floor mansion have been bought by Mr.
Hamad, the Prime Minister of Qatar, and are worth a million dollars." billion pounds.”
Bought by the Prime Minister of Qatar I originally bought 100 million pounds, but I’m afraid it’s not worth it now.
Zhuang Ziqing was a little surprised.
This was simply ridiculously expensive.
"The shorter building on the outside has also been sold.
The buyer is a Russian oil oligarch.
The 13-story penthouse in the middle was originally intended to be kept by the developer Candy Brothers for their own use. but" Yang Huan smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, just tell the truth."
Miles Wood immediately looked at Hugh Grosvenor for help.
The latter laughed and said, "Master Huan, to tell you the truth, this real estate project was developed by the Candy brothers on the surface, but in fact there are other financial supports behind it.
Otherwise, it would be up to these two brothers from Greece.
No matter how rich you are, how can you possibly get this project?”
For this kind of prime real estate located in the core commercial area of London, the world's financial center, it is impossible to get it just by having money.
The Candy brothers are just a shield to be pushed into the public eye.
“I can’t say too much, but what I can tell you is that the Qatar Investment Authority is one of them, so Hamad bought the top floor of the ten-story building just to give his son a place to live when he studies in the UK. of."
"As for the price, it's probably only one-third of what the outside world has rumored."
Yang Huan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"High, really high" A house was sold for 30 million pounds, but as soon as the media reported it, it turned into more than 100 million pounds.
The house prices here immediately rose, and then some other swindlers from Ukraine, Russia and the Middle East were deceived to be slaughtered.
Take a look at the people who live in One Hyde Park.
Vladimir King, chairman of Kazakhstan Copper, is worth £2.3 billion.
Mohammed Sultan Al Qasmi, finance minister of Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates' third-largest emirate.
Russian oil oligarchs, Ukrainian mining giants, and some of the richest people in the Middle East.
Over the years, they have come to London to invest in real estate, and all of them have been scammed and ripped off.
Maybe one or two of them are living in these houses now, happily helping them count their money.
If anyone says that British real estate is not profitable in the future, Yang Huan will definitely spit on his face.
The Qatar Investment Authority is equivalent to Qatar's state-owned enterprise, and Hamad is the Prime Minister of Qatar.
Naturally, the relationship here does not need any further explanation.
What impressed Yang Huan deeply was that in May 2010, the Qatar Investment Authority, which he controlled, purchased money from Egyptian tycoon Mohamed Fayed, the owner of the English Premier League team Fulham, for 1.5 billion pounds.

In his hands, he acquired Harrods, a landmark building in London.
So, there are really not many rich people in this world.
And this point also indirectly cites another thing.
There are people in the DPRK who can do things easily no one Then you can only be taken advantage of.
"Now I suddenly realize that your hype methods are much better than mine."
Yang Huan chuckled.
Hugh Grosvenor also smiled, "No, Master Huan, my father has praised you more than once and thinks you are more capable."
"Really?"
Yang Huan didn't defend himself.
Now that everything has been explained clearly, there is no need to say anything more.
If Hug Grosvenor was willing to tell himself this, he must have had a good deal with the Duke of Westminster and got permission.
In this case, what should we do:
