Since he wanted to buy a property, Simon naturally chose the best one.
However, this is still only the 1980s, and many years later there will be almost no luxury homes worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Even London's Kensington Gardens, where a number of the world's most expensive properties later gathered, were priced in the tens of millions at this time. Simon owns a five-storey villa with more than 30 rooms on Kensington Garden Street priced at 18 million pounds. This is already the most expensive of the sixteen mansions.
With Janet's advice, Simon quickly looked through the sixteen properties in his hand.
Although the overall price of luxury homes in this era is not expensive, the sixteen units taken together cost US$178 million in US dollars, with an average price of US$11 million per property.
Among them, except for the mansion on Kensington Garden Street, which occupies only half an acre, the area of many other properties can be measured in hectares. A manor in the West End of Paris with a price tag of 120 million francs covers an area of 22 hectares. This price is approximately 17 million dollars when converted into US dollars. By comparison, the £18 million price tag for the Kensington Gardens mansion was equivalent to $25 million at the current exchange rate.
Of course, with the exception of London and Paris, the prices of top luxury homes in other major European cities are much cheaper.
After flipping through the last piece of information in his hand, Simon looked at Sofia Fesi and said, "Sixteen properties, including the one in Cannes, can you handle it?"
Sofia Fesi was obviously stunned when she heard this. Although she had carefully selected sixteen properties in the past few months, when she came here this time, she actually only thought that Simon might choose two or three from them. But listening to Simon's words at this time, it is obvious that he wants to buy all sixteen properties? !
Spending US$178 million to purchase 16 properties at once is definitely a crazy move in this era when the world's richest people generally only have a net worth of several billion US dollars. What's more, as a former luxury real estate agent, Sofia Fesi knows very well that after purchasing a property, most wealthy people will generally continue to spend a lot of money to renovate and renovate it, which is also a huge expense.
After being dazed for a moment, feeling that Simon was still looking at her inquiringly, Sofia Fesi quickly gathered her thoughts and recalled the question he had just asked.
Sixteen, um, seventeen properties, can she take care of them
Many wealthy people actually have the habit of purchasing multiple properties. If it was the case of purchasing a bunch of small apartments and villas in the past, she could immediately give a positive answer.
However, these seventeen properties are currently among the top luxury homes in Europe. Just the manor covering an area of 22 hectares in the western suburbs of Paris also has a private horse farm, orchards and lakes in addition to the main villa. Daily maintenance requires at least ten people. A gardener's servant. All seventeen luxury homes require a dedicated team of hundreds of people to maintain, and this matter is definitely not as simple as ordinary maintenance and cleaning.
After hesitating for a while, Sofia Fesi nodded slightly, but still couldn't help but confirm: "Simon, you want to buy all these properties?"
"You can start this matter after you return to Europe," Simon said, patted Janet in his arms, helped the woman get up and said: "That's it for today, Janet, help Sophia arrange the room, I'm going to take a shower first. .”
Sofia Feisi watched Simon leave, then looked at Janet, who had not raised any objection to Simon's decision just now, and said: "Jenny, are you really going to let Simon do this?"
Janet came over and took Sophia's arm and led her towards the guest room, saying: "I am his girlfriend, not his mother. In fact, if we get along for a longer time and get used to Simon's crazy thoughts, you won't I feel weird about this kind of thing.”
Sofia Fesi said: "However, with sixteen properties, I don't think this is necessary at all."
"The most important thing is that a person can do whatever he wants. Who cares whether it is necessary or not."
Janet said as she accompanied Sophia to a guest room, where the housekeeper's luggage had been moved during the day. Sofia Faisy opened the suitcase and took out some changes of clothes. She noticed that Janet was still standing at the door and asked curiously: "Jenny, is there anything else?"
"No," Janet shook her head, but raised her hand and knocked on the door panel, with a smile on her face, and said, "I just want to remind you that the door to this bedroom cannot be locked from behind. "
After Janet finished speaking, she said good night and turned to leave without looking at the housekeeper's expression.
But it was too late for Sofia Fessy. She was not a little girl, so how could she not understand the subtext of Janet's words. After forcing herself to straighten her clothes nonchalantly for a while, she couldn't help but walk to the door, peeked out, closed the door and studied the door handle carefully, and found that Janet was not joking with her.
You really can’t lock it!
The figure of her young boss could not help but appear in her mind. Since confirming the employment relationship, Sofia Fesi began to pay close attention to many things related to Simon. As a result, she realized even more how legendary this young man was. A being.
At the age of twenty, when many of his peers are still confused about the future, he has already created achievements from scratch that many people may not be able to achieve in several lifetimes.
As a mature woman in her prime, or perhaps because of the possessive precondition Simon proposed, she had fantasized about certain things in private, but they were just fantasies. Although she was very confident in her appearance, otherwise she would not have been able to find a rich husband in the first place, but she did not expect him to be really interested in her.
Now.
Looking at the door in front of her, the housekeeper couldn't help but twist and turn in her mind.
What if he really breaks in tonight
What would he do if he didn't break in tonight
Villa master bedroom.
Simon walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and wiping his hair. Janet had already put on a light pink silk nightgown and was lying on the big bed, flipping through a magazine. When Simon came out, the woman turned her head and smiled sweetly at him. Bottom, it looks very harmless to humans and animals. Simon was not polite at all. He walked to the bed, raised his hand and slapped the woman on the buttocks.
After the snap, Janet immediately became tearful and said, "Why did you hit me?"
Simon raised his hand again and said, "What do you think?"
Janet ducked to the side and argued: "There are so many bedrooms in the villa, aren't they just for entertaining guests, why should I let Sophia stay in a hotel?"
