Rejection

  "Eight million pounds?"

  Upon hearing Viscount Bute's offer, Barron raised his eyebrows and his expression darkened:

  "I'm afraid there is no sincerity in this price, Your Excellency."

  "I can understand your thoughts. , Lord Barron, if it is a normal residential land, with its location, it can be worth at least 20 million pounds..."

  Regarding Barron's reaction, Viscount Bute was not very surprised. He still treated Barron lightly. Said:

  "But first of all, your piece of land was originally used to build gas storage tanks for the gas company. Therefore, although the gas storage tanks have been scrapped, the land is still industrial land. If you want to carry out commercial development, If you want to build a residential building or commercial building, you need to change the land attributes..."

  In England, similar to China, the land bought and sold also includes agricultural land, industrial land, commercial or residential land and other attributes. It is not that you buy the land. It can be built at will, but it must be used according to the properties of the land.

  If you want to change the properties of the land, you must obtain approval from the relevant government departments, otherwise you will be punished.

  According to Viscount Bute, the land owned by the Duke of Devonshire family near King's Cross Station is itself industrial land. Although the location is good, it cannot be measured according to the value of residential land.

  "The price of industrial land is definitely much lower, and more importantly, there are three huge abandoned gas storage tanks on that land. In order to dismantle them, a lot of extra money will be spent, so the price of 8 million pounds , which is already very reasonable."

  Regarding these words of Viscount Bute, Barron was somewhat noncommittal.

  He knew that what the other party said was probably the truth, but equally, since Viscount Bute was so active in wanting to buy the land, it also meant that there was definitely value in it that made him excited.

  If Barron is really facing a family financial crisis as Viscount Bute believes, then I am afraid that in that case, there is a high probability that he will still choose to sell the land - even if he will contact him more before that Some buyers strive to raise the price slightly, but the final selling price will not differ much.

  But in fact, Barron has already had a solution to this financial crisis, so in this case, a plot of land near the center of London will be more expensive for him - after all, he also knows that what will happen next In recent years, land prices in London have continued to rise, and the magnitude is not small.

  Most importantly, land in a good location is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

  After all, the purpose of coming to Viscount Bute for the banquet this time was not only to see what kind of conditions the other party would propose, but also to obtain more information through direct contact with the other party - he also I would like to know if Viscount Bute was behind the previous reports on the family's financial crisis?

  "I need to ask other people's opinions on this matter..." "I can understand

  this. After all, I just took over the family not long ago. I just hope I won't be kept waiting too long."

  After Barron found an excuse to shirk, Bu The words of Viscount Te are very interesting...

  "

  Thank you for your hospitality. I hope to invite you to my place next time."

  "It's an honor, Lord Barron..."

  After Barron said goodbye, he prepared When leaving, Viscount Bute held his hand and said,

  "As for the land where the gas tank is located, you can call me at any time. I'm waiting for your reply."

  "Mr. Barron..."

  Just as Barron turned around When he was about to leave, he heard Bonnie say to him:

  "I just want to go home. If I'm on the way, can I give you a lift?"

  "That's no problem, I'm very happy to serve you."

  That's it, When leaving Viscount Bute's house, the pretty Miss Bonnie got into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce with Barron.

  "Miss Bonnie, where do you live?"   

  "I'm over there in Bayswater. If it's too far away, just drop me off nearby." "

  It's not far, it's very close to where I am."

  Barron really wasn't lying. Bayswater is where he lives. Next door to Kensington, but Kensington is on the north side of Chelsea where it is now, and Bayswater is also on the north side of Kensington...

  "Does Miss Bonnie live with her family?"

  Rollsley As Si was driving on Kings Road, after a brief silence in the car, Barron took the initiative to chat.

  "Mr. Barron, just call me Bonnie. I live in a rented house by myself now. My parents are in Southampton." "

  Then you can just call me Barron from now on. Bonnie, I have some What's curious is that you majored in psychology at university, so why did you think of becoming a host after graduation..." "It can be considered a

  coincidence. I was working as a model in my spare time, and then I participated in a competition, and then I met the TV station. People who tried their current job on the recommendation of others... Besides, how many people can really engage in their own professional work after graduation? Fortunately, I still enjoy my current work and life very much. ."

  "Indeed, you are indeed very lucky to be able to find your interests and get good opportunities."

  Barron's words were actually based on his reflections on his previous life. In his previous life, At that time, in fact, his original ideal was to be a cartoonist, and he did have some talent, but in the end he was "forced by life" and entered the financial industry, until he came to this world inexplicably...

  But what he said, listen to In Bonnie's ears, it felt a bit like... Versailles, so she said lightly:

  "Of course, my life is incomparable to that of a big shot like you. I was born into a noble family, and there are many things we can do no matter how hard we work." What is unattainable is within reach for you."

  In response, Barron just smiled faintly and said:

  "The gift that fate gives you has already been marked with a price in secret. It's like I think that the title and family property are within easy reach, but before that, I need to work hard for the future of the family."

  While saying this, Barron looked at the street scene receding under the street lights outside the car.

  The light reflected on his face through the car window. From Bonnie's perspective, against the light outside the window, his side face was like a sharp silhouette, adding a bit of melancholy. For a moment, she felt My heart beat faster.

  When the Rolls-Royce slowly parked in front of an apartment, the two of them realized that they had arrived at the residence that Bonnie had mentioned before.

  Time flies really fast.

  This sentence appeared in the minds of the two people in the back seat almost at the same time.

  "I'm here. Thank you, Barron. Nice to meet you today."

  "Me too, Bonnie."

  When he saw the girl opening the car door, slightly raising her long legs wrapped in gray stockings, and preparing to get out of the car, Barron spoke. Said:

  "By the way, can you leave your phone number? Maybe, um, I will ask you some questions about TV programs, or maybe have time to have a drink together?" "

  Actually, I don't know that much about TV programs. I'm proficient, and I don't like drinking very much..."

  Bonnie turned to look at Barron and smiled:

  "But I am willing to give you my number."
