Age of Dreams

London, England.

A shining pearl built across the Thames.

In the modern history of mankind, this city has an extremely glorious history. Today, it is still one of the most important financial, political, and cultural centers in the world.

Although the United States is now the world’s dominance, the financial sector in London is still the largest financial trading market in the European continent. It controls transactions including heavy metals, oil, foreign currency, insurance, etc., and has great influence on Europe and Africa. Big.

Therefore, when people think of Europe, the first thing they think of is London, and then Paris, France.

Because the country is too narrow, and because the population of the United Kingdom has been declining year after year, the current population of London is about 8 million.

If the surrounding people come to London to ask for a living, the total daily active population in London can reach about 12 million.

Considering that the total population of Great Britain is only 60 million, which can occupy one-fifth of the population of a country, London is basically about the same as Japan.

The city of London that we usually know is actually the 12 administrative districts of Inner London. The names of Chelsea and Fulham that Chinese fans are familiar with are the names of these administrative districts.

In addition, there are 21 outer London administrative districts, 33 administrative districts together, it is the entire Greater London.

The prosperous area is naturally Thames⌒, the 12 inner administrative districts on both sides of the Shihe River.

Today's big head Liu has chosen Westminster in Inner London as his headquarters in London, and is flexing his muscles.

As the learners sent by Xiao Qi, Hou Mutai, Guan Shantang and Yang Hua, three members of the Wenzhou real estate speculation group, also because of their excellent theoretical and practical knowledge, were entrusted by the head of Liu.

Liu Datou is a smart man. He was before Xiao Qi talked about real estate in the UK. There has been an over-in-depth study of the British real estate market.

He is not a celebrity killer who can only play with female celebrities. Without practical skills, he would not be able to pull his teeth repeatedly and lay such a world in Hong Kong.

Through his experience in Hong Kong, Liu Datou knows. It does not mean that the cheaper the house is, the better, but the more demanded house, the more the price will increase and the better it will be sold.

This theory is quite similar to Li Chaoren's famous "location", "location" and "location" theory.

Of course, real estate is not that simple. If you really think that after buying Li Chaoren's autobiography, you can become the second Li Chaoren after being reincarnated, then the Hong Kong Peak is the last place you want to go.

The way Li Chaoren started. It's not as simple as you think, and not as clean as you think. The reason why you think he is an inspirational idol is because after he started his family, after years of doing good deeds and beautification, he gave you this impression.

Therefore, Xiao Qi has never been willing to keep touching real estate and become a fairy real estate. Now he has only carried out two projects in Rongcheng and Shangri-La in the capital.

Liu Datou's heart is cruel. Definitely surpassing Li Chaoren, he came to London this time. Just to make a lot of money from real estate speculation, it is impossible for him to control the life and death of the British.

The entire land of Greater London is approximately 1,600 square kilometers, which is basically the same size as Eastern City.

The population of Dongfang City is 23 million, almost four times that of London.

It stands to reason that the population density here is not that big, and real estate is certainly not as prosperous as the East.

The fact is exactly the same.

House prices in London. It has not been very high over the years.

The cost of buying a house for an ordinary family is basically around 360,000 pounds.

With the outbreak of the financial crisis, the UK has inevitably been affected, and now London's housing prices have caused a sharp drop, which has plummeted by 15% in the first half of the year. The public's wait-and-see sentiment is getting stronger.

In order to recoup the losses and break the impact of the financial crisis, the British government has already introduced laws at the end of last year to encourage foreigners to come to the UK to buy houses.

As we all know, there are many taxes on real estate transactions, the most important of which is called capital gains tax (cgt), which is called housing appreciation income tax in our country, which means the same thing.

The British buy and sell houses on their own. The first time you sell your own house, then you have to pay 18% of the total house payment as capital gains tax; the second time it is even more remarkable, you have to pay 28% of the total house payment. %.

So in the new bill, how much capital gains tax does a foreigner need to pay for selling a house?

0.

That is no.

You can buy and sell houses in the UK at will, but you don’t have to pay the biggest tax.

The remaining residential land stamp duty, property management fees, land rent, municipal fees, etc., are simply not worth mentioning. At best, they are only 3% 5% of the total housing payment.

As soon as Liu Datou arrived in the UK, he caught up with the bill issued by the British government, which made him feel that he was in the right place.

After some careful research, he gave up his own plan of building a construction company and directly building a house for sale.

Liu Datou decided to focus on two investment methods in the UK.

The first is buying land, hoarding land and speculating land, and selling it when the price is high.

The second is to directly purchase mid-to-high-end housing. After speculation in housing prices, it will also drive the surrounding market to rise, and at the same time, it can also drive the rise of their own land.

After the land rises, it will naturally drive the rise in housing prices.

The two complement each other, and it is also very certain to push up housing prices and make profits.

What makes him even more convenient is that because of the same line of laws and policies, he has completely moved the Hong Kong speculation experience to the UK without even having to touch many details.

Moreover, the real estate speculation in the UK can be even greater, and the UK bill has more preferential policies for foreigners to buy and sell houses.

In the past, Liu Datou mainly bought and sold land, and then built houses for profit. He still lacked experience in specific large-scale house speculation.

But he didn't panic at all, because there were a few such professionals around him in the Wenzhou real estate speculator trio!

Xiao Qi sent them over before, and Liu Datou was still a little unhappy, but after he decided on the way of operation, he realized that it was Xiao Qi who had sent him a powerful helper!

The Wenzhou real estate speculator trio is responsible for speculating on prices. He is responsible for buying and hoarding land for speculation. It is a perfect match!

Branson, who owns 15% of the "Hengxin Investment Company", certainly does not eat anything.

After hearing about the investment direction of Liu Datou, after Branson helped him find a good office space, he sent him a lot of market experts without saying a word.

There are consultants in charge of real estate transactions, senior government commissioners who are in charge of communicating with government land sales departments, analysts who are responsible for collecting various land and property information in London, financial commissioners who are responsible for dealing with banks, and some They provide all kinds of support personnel...

Just like that, the shelf of "Hengxin Investment Company" was completely set up, and Liu Datou could do it at any time.

Xiao Qi's 5 billion US dollars is now in the company's account. Thinking that there is so much money for his own use, Liu Datou is short of breath.

But after all, he is also the chairman of a large company with a market value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Although 5 billion dollars is more than that, he has not never seen it. ......Well, but in terms of cash alone, I haven't seen it.

After collecting and analyzing the data, Liu Datou immediately decided the first place to raise prices in Westminster.

Speaking of Westminster District, you may not know, but if you talk about a scene located here, you will understand.

Have you ever seen an aerial view. Beside a bridge on the Thames, there is an iconic British Big Ben, and next to the old buildings of the British Parliament, and then across the Thames is the London Eye?

These famous buildings, including Buckingham Palace where the Queen and her family live, 11 Downing Street, and the British Museum, are all located in Westminster.

It can be seen that this area is also across the Thames in London, which is the heart of London.

The housing prices here are of course the highest, but they are also the vane of housing prices throughout London.

If prices increase in Westminster, then the surrounding Lambeth, Southwark, Kensington? Chelsea and other places will definitely increase prices.

At the beginning of March, Liu Datou started the first step of the plan.

He first started buying a lot of land in the three areas of Lambeth, Southwark, and Kensington Chelsea.

For a time, with Branson's support, he won more than 10 large and small pieces of land in a month, with a capital of 5 billion US dollars, which directly spent 1 billion.

At the same time, Yang Hua, Hou Mutai and Guan Shantang also began to purchase high-end real estate and high-end new houses in Westminster in batches with the help of their assistants.

The Wenzhou real estate group has always been such a trick.

Don't look for cheap houses for speculation. If you want to speculate, you can speculate on well-known and valuable houses.

After the price increases, the reputation of www.readwn.com will be great, and the driving effect will naturally be great.

As for the method of selling the right hand with the left hand and swapping the right hand with the left hand, it is even more outstanding. With the intensity of real estate supervision in the UK, I am afraid it is difficult to stop.

It is easy to buy land and house, but this hype process takes time to ferment.

It is impossible to say that I bought a house this month and sold it the next day at a profit of 12%. That can only coax the children, and adults will know that there is a ghost in it.

And the number is not enough. The price increase of one or two houses will not have an effect at all.

In addition, buying newspapers, magazines, journalists, etc., bragging about the shortage of houses, the imminent skyrocketing of housing prices, and pushing up people's expectations for price increases, is also a process.

The Wenzhou real estate speculators are very patient in making a speculation, and it is definitely not done in twos or fives as everyone imagined.

And now, they are slowly laying out... (to be continued...)
