Harrison Clark only followed Paul to the site for a brief look, and one feeling emerged in his heart.

Nouveau riche!

Capitalism is truly corrupt.

He wants to give it a try too.

After purchasing it, Harrison planned to run laps in his own yard every time he came here, and even complete some high-intensity training in his own gym that ordinary people couldn’t imagine.

In fact, with his current strength, he could build an even bigger and more luxurious estate in the UK, but once he did that, he couldn’t find any reason to continue staying with Carrie Thomas.

Perhaps Carrie also had the same concerns. Although she was not short of money, she only bought a medium-sized flat in Oxfordshire, and it was an unfinished property. She said she planned to wait two years for the flat, so her parents would have a place to live when they come here.

In short, the current situation was quite strange. One was worth at least 8 billion, and the other’s net worth had long reached several billion, yet they still shared an ordinary apartment.

Moreover, due to some historical reasons, neither of them paid rent, which was very hateful.

“Mr. Clark, how do you feel about it? Do you like it? This is the best villa on the Los Angeles property market this month.”

Standing in the yard, Paul showed off a little as he performed his dance.

Harrison had a poker face, nodding slightly: “The overall condition of the house is fine, I’m pretty satisfied.”

Seeing his reaction, Paul’s excitement immediately dimmed, “Ah? Just pretty satisfied?”

“Yeah. Firstly, I don’t like helicopters, so the helipad is a waste to me. Secondly, I looked at the overall terrain here, and it’s located between two mountains with water in the middle. In Feng Shui, this terrain is called Double Dragons Fighting for a Pearl, which is the land of military conflict. If the owner of this place is a businessman, he would face strong competitors in the business arena.”

Harrison crossed his hands behind his back, trying to dig out his vocabulary, and carefully articulated his “dissatisfaction.”

He couldn’t really find any flaws, so he leaned on mysticism, to put up some Feng Shui stuff that neither he nor Paul understood.

Paul was confused.

“Wind and water? Two evil dragons? Fighting? The previous owner was not a businessman, but a famous boxer for many years.”

Harrison didn’t flinch when his bluff got exposed, “Isn’t that right? The boxer’s career fits the metaphor of two dragons fighting, doesn’t it?”

Paul was dumbfounded, “Oh yes.”

“From here, looking out to the sea, the view is beautiful, but according to climatic statistics, the northwest marine monsoon from the sea stays the longest every year. In my hometown, this is called the northwest wind, which is ominous.”

Paul was utterly confused, “How is the northwest wind bad luck?”

Harrison asked, “Has the owner’s recent investment income been not so good?”

Paul nodded, “Not good.”

He began to admire Harrison’s ideas about wind and water a little.

As expected of someone engaged in art, he knows more.

Harrison acted enigmatic, “That’s the flaw of the house.”

Paul understood somewhat what Harrison meant.

The customer is always right.

No matter where the customer’s dissatisfaction lies, it just needs to be addressed.

“So… should I find another house for you?”

He tentatively asked.

Harrison’s mouth twitched a bit, Paul, who claimed to be one of the top ten agents, must be dealing with a Chinese buyer for the first time. He didn’t even understand the concept of bargaining.

“What I mean is, I’m generally satisfied with the overall condition of the house, but there are still flaws. I think the price should be reduced a bit more, to 10 million US dollars. Then the flaws would become bearable. Let the other agent know about my dissatisfaction, and also tell them that I can make a single payment in full and settle it immediately. Give me a reply within tomorrow.”

Paul kept nodding, “Okay, okay, I got it all.”

Harrison had seen the valuation report issued by a well-known accounting firm, which detailed many data, including historical transaction prices, nearby property market analysis reports, overall market analysis for the past two years, and the added value brought by various facilities and equipment inside the house, etc.

This villa was indeed worth 13 million US dollars.

He was now testing the waters, targeting the seller’s cash flow shortage and eagerness to sell.

It was an opportunity, and not taking advantage of it would be foolish.

Of course, others might not agree, so they could continue the discussion tomorrow.

Things were even simpler than he had anticipated.

That night, Paul called him to say that the seller, after careful consideration, agreed to sell for 10 million dollars, provided that Harrison signed a contract to pay the full amount within a week.

Harrison threw the matter to Julia Lambert, asking her to act as his agent for the transaction.

All he needed to do was stay in the hotel and sign his name on documents from time to time, accompanied by Julia and a lawyer.

Previously, Harrison had sold quite a few songs at prices ranging from 1 to 2 million US dollars, and as these works continued to be produced, they would generate split-account income. At that time, he did not convert the dollars into pounds but entrusted them to a local bank.

This money was very clean, belonging to his own creation and thus considered private property, unrelated to Summit Ventures’ equity structure.

Now, it was convenient for him to use it at any time.

The next day, both parties signed the contract in a friendly atmosphere. The rest was the unfamiliar procedure of house transactions, which was all left to Julia, the lawyer, and Paul to handle..
