"Gentlemen, these are office buildings selected according to your needs. This one is in the Burbank area and the Santa Monica area. Oh, this one is near Hollywood, and the price is relatively expensive."
In the lobby of the real estate agency, a real estate agent named Raymond skillfully handed the documents to Eric and Jeffrey. Since it was decided to establish a new Firefly Film Company, it should first rent an office space for the company, thus the current situation came into being.
While listening to Lemonster's introduction, the two flipped through the documents and discussed with each other.
For some reason, Eric felt that Lemonster looked at him strangely, as if eager to try. Finally, during a conversation, Lemonster couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, Mr. Williams, are you the young director who filmed "Home Alone"?"
Eric raised his eyebrows, looked at the other person's expression, secretly thought that the middle-aged man in front of him should not be his fan, nodded, and Eric readily admitted his identity: "Mr. Raymond, That's me, is there a question?"
Raymond confirmed the question in his heart, and continued: "It's like this, Mr. Williams, I don't know if you are interested in the Beverly mansion. We just have a Beverly Hilltop mansion here, with an area of 6,000 square meters. feet or so, close to the Sunset Strip, easy access, and best of all... great privacy."
Speaking of the last few words, Lemonster's expression was a little unnatural. Obviously, the other party had read the gossip about Eric in the "Los Angeles Metropolis Daily" today, so he had the idea of selling the luxury house temporarily.
It has to be said that the real estate agent seized the opportunity quite well. Eric was troubled by the all-pervasive paparazzi, and the agent's promotion was right in Eric's arms.
Jeffrey next to him also said in a timely manner: "Eric, I also think you need to change your residence. With your current wealth, it is not safe to live alone in North Hollywood."
Eric nodded and asked, "Mr. Raymond, if I'm interested, when can we see the house?"
Rejoiced in his heart, Lemonster immediately nodded and said, "It can be done now, the owner has handed over the mansion to us as the sole agent, and the key is with us."
Eric was not in the mood to choose an office building after hearing this, so he left a check for Jeffrey to decide on his own, and then drove to Beverly Hills with Raymond.
According to Lemonster's guidance, more than half an hour later, the two came outside a mansion in Beverly Hills: "This is it, Mr. Williams."
After getting out of the car, the first thing Eric saw was the nearly two-meter-high fence, with dense green tree crowns sticking out of the fence.
Lemonster introduced next to him: "Mr. Williams, you see, the privacy of this mansion is quite good, the walls are high enough, and the dense vegetation inside completely cuts off the risk of paparazzi taking pictures. And this There are no street lights around the mansion, and there are two gates at the front and back, which is very suitable for a public figure like you."
Eric nodded in satisfaction and said, "Leymonster, shall we go in and have a look?"
"Oh, of course." Raymond hurriedly took out the key to open the gate of the mansion, and invited Eric to enter first.
"Please look, Mr. Williams, the main villa with a more modern style was designed by Edward Niles Design Company. There are four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and two kitchens. There is room for 10 cars in the garage, and there are Open-air baths, pocket basketball courts, by the way, through the balcony on the second floor, you can overlook the entire Greater Los Angeles, and the view of the bright lights of Los Angeles at night is very charming... "
Eric listened to the agent's skillful introduction, and patiently turned around the mansion of about 600 square meters.
"Raymonde, how much is this mansion?"
Raymond was stunned for a moment, and soon there was a hint of ecstasy in his heart. Eric didn't chatter and ask all kinds of messy questions like other house inspectors, but directly asked about the price. The success rate of this business is obviously very big.
The owner of this mansion had no choice but to put his beloved mansion on the market because he suffered losses in the stock market crash last year, but the other party was not at the end of his rope, and the price offered was relatively high, so this house has already been sold. It's been nearly half a year under the pressure of the intermediary company in Raymond.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Lemonster said calmly, "2 million dollars, Mr. Williams."
Eric's first reaction was that it was so cheap, but he quickly realized that it was 1988, not the 21st century when house prices rose to the point where he was forced into prostitution. It seems that the 11-square-kilometer Neverland Ranch purchased by Michael Jackson last year was only $19.5 million. Obviously, the price of 2 million US dollars for this mansion is a bit expensive.
Although Eric is not short of money now, he is not being taken advantage of. He turned to stare at the real estate agent and said, "Raymonde, you also understand that I bought it with sincerity, so give me an actual price." , two million dollars is obviously impossible."
Raymond showed a pained expression, and said, "Then, 1.95 million US dollars can't be less."
"1 million." Eric set out his own price.
Lemonster almost jumped up, and shouted in surprise: "This is impossible!"
Now it is not popular for Chinese to buy property in North America, so this is the first time that Lemonster has encountered this frenzied oriental way of bargaining.
As if being greatly insulted, Lemonster choked his neck: "Mr. Williams, if you bid like this, there is no need for us to continue the negotiation."
Eric saw that the other party was really angry, and quickly smiled: "Okay, okay, Lemonster, just kidding. But you are too insincere, only 50,000 dollars cheaper."
Although Lemonster was still a little unhappy in his heart, the other party was a big client after all. If he sold this luxury house, he could also get a large commission, so his expression quickly returned to calm: "Mr. Eric, The owner of this luxury house is not too short of money, and you can have someone identify it. A complete set of luxurious custom-made furniture and other decorations in the villa will cost no less than half a million dollars, so the price is very high. Originally The other party insisted on $2 million, and after some persuasion, we agreed to a discount of $100,000. Therefore, $1.9 million is already the cheapest price.”
After finishing speaking, Lemonster looked like he was waiting for Eric's decision. Obviously, there was no room for negotiation on the price.
Eric thought for a moment, he really liked this villa, and finally nodded: "Raymonster, if I decide to buy it, how long can I live in it?"
Lemonster said: "If you can pay the full amount, we can do our best to handle the handover procedures for you, and you can move in within three days. If you need a bank loan, it will definitely take a little longer."
Sure enough, it is a country where money is omnipotent. Eric remembered that a friend in his previous life boasted about his experience of buying a house in Los Angeles, and it took more than a month to get it done.
Eric finally chose the full amount, and the two returned to Lemonster's intermediary company. Eric called Edward Lewis's office and asked the other party to send a lawyer familiar with real estate business. He was only responsible for filling out the A check, and the rest is basically handed over to a private lawyer to handle.
Jeffrey Hansen also chose an office building in Burbank as the office location of Firefly Films. Eric took a look and expressed his satisfaction, and the matter was settled like this.
After a busy day, he came home in the evening. Eric just glanced at it and found that there were more paparazzi nearby. These guys were obviously stimulated by the gossip this morning and wanted to get something valuable out of themselves. news.
Eric had no choice but to pretend not to see these people.
After eating dinner and taking a shower, Eric came to the bedroom wearing loose home clothes. After thinking about it, he still started to write the script of "Pretty Woman". "Crisis" novel, Eric directly chose to procrastinate first, anyway, Michael Klaus got used to the urging and urging, and Eric got used to it as he listened.
In the next few days, Eric followed Jeffrey busy with the establishment of the film company during the day, and wrote the script at night. He thought that the matter with Drew and Aniston, even if it was the media with ulterior motives, would slam it for a few days , the matter will eventually die down like other celebrity scandals, but who knows that this matter has a tendency to become more and more troublesome, and the trend of rain is becoming more and more obvious.
