Chapter 443

Less than an hour after William entered the arcade, the news about him appeared on TV. The reporters from several TV stations not only broadcast the news that William bought the arcade mall in order to accompany Lina shopping,

they don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. They spent a lot of time introducing the history and present of Burlington arcade for more than 200 years, but also recounting the previous owners In the end, who is the richest is William.

The former owner of arcade street is probably the most unhappy person in the world, because when he interviewed the former owner, he yelled that it was cheap. If he knew that the buyer was William, he would ask for 100 million pounds.

At 11:30 at noon, Bili C TV station specially added a talk show to discuss whether William's purchase of Burlington arcade like lightning is mainly for investment or just for shopping with his mother.

"I think William's main purpose must be commercial consideration," said the guest, Professor Tucci:

"most people living in London have heard of Burlington arcade street. This shopping mall between Piccadilly street and Burlington garden is the oldest and oldest shopping mall in England.

Although the 112 meter street has been on the decline over the years, its 200 year tradition of selling only luxury goods has made its brand image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As long as old Londoners think of luxury street, arcade Street will always appear in their first impression. At least the first thing I can think of for people in my 50s is arcade street.

Even among young people, arcade street can be ranked in the top three of luxury street. As long as you spend money to renovate it and keep the original sense of history, it's not difficult to modernize and rejuvenate the interior.

for William Devonshire, it's just an idea to spend tens of millions of pounds, but as long as the renovation is completed, the value of this street can be at least realized Over 100 million pounds.

And you may have been ignoring a problem.

"What?" the host asked curiously.

"Arcade Street covers an area of more than 9400 square meters, which is a quarter larger than a football field, but it is only three floors. If William Devonshire demolishes these two adjacent shopping malls,

how much will it cost to rebuild two adjacent high-rise buildings at a cost of 120 million pounds? Don't forget that the shopping mall is located next to Burlington Park, and it takes two minutes to walk to the park.".

"Wow", the host and the audience were frightened by tooch's words, "God, this idea is really good. I remember that the house price of the West District of Burlington is 3600 pounds per foot now. If it's changed into meters, it's 11000 pounds per square meter?"

"Almost. As long as the building is built, it will be worth more than 400 million pounds," tooch affirmed.

"What else can I do?" Lina and Abigail, who are resting in the mall waiting for lunch, are surprised to see William sitting beside them. "Do you really think so?" Lena asked happily.

"No, mom," William rolled his eyes. "I don't know anything about real estate. The guy named tookie is trying to impress the public. Don't forget that this place has a history of 200 years, and the city of London will let me demolish it.

moreover, I don't need that little money. If I spend a few years to earn 100 million or 200 million, it's better to focus on familiar industries, and the real estate industry It's too troublesome.

The first reason to buy this is to give you a safe shopping place in the future. The second reason is that the mall is famous and low in value. It's really a good investment project. It's worth more than 400 million pounds ten years after doing nothing.

"Well, just don't buy it." Lena is very happy for her son's intelligence and reason. "It seems that you are not dazzled by a series of successes, which makes mom very happy.".

After lunch, Lina, who was in a good mood, started the sales mode. By 3 p.m., she not only bought dozens of clothes, five or six pieces of jewelry and three pieces of watches, but also Abigail bought almost half of her things, but surprisingly did not express her dissatisfaction.

At 4 p.m., after five or six hours of shopping, Lena and Abigail happily walked out of the mall with William.

As soon as they came out, the reporters who had been waiting for almost a day were all frantically pushing towards William, but Anthony, who had been prepared for a long time, hired more than 40 bodyguards to form a group.

Unable to squeeze in, the reporter quickly yelled at William on the outside, only to find Abigail, who has been following William and Lina all the time. Now, his heart to interview William is even stronger, and he asked out loud who Abigail is and whether he is his new girlfriend.

William and Lina ignored the reporter, and Abigail beside them unexpectedly didn't do anything extra, neither holding William's hand, nor smiling at the reporter, and remained honest behind them.

This makes William and Lina who come back to the manor to watch TV very satisfied with Abigail.

At dinner, Lena not only talked and laughed about Abigail, but also helped her add some dessert.

But when only she and William were together, Lena hesitated and said to William, "are you sure Abigail and your New York girlfriend won't get into trouble? Today, her performance is very good, but it also shows that she is too smart. Pity my Tina, that little girl must be very sad now."."God, mom, can you forget about Tina?" William rolled his eyes and said, "that chick is the one who cares the most, and I have no intention of getting married. Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe Abigail and Ambrosius are tired of being with me and leaving me.".

"Ha ha, baby, do you believe that?" Lena looked at William scornfully. "Think for yourself, good night, son.".

Good night, mom.

Seeing Lena off, William goes into the reception room, takes a bag, a bottle of Latour and two glasses, goes downstairs, walks out of the main building, strolls in the garden, and walks to the plant labyrinth of the manor.

Sitting on the bench in the plant labyrinth, a white ghost appeared behind him like a ghost in a minute.

"Don't play tricks. Your ninja stuff has failed in the face of high technology." he took out his red wine and wine glass and poured half a glass. "He reported your trace to me since you entered the manor on Sunday.".

"How do you know if you don't try?" the white ghost came out of the dark, sat next to William and took a drink. "To be honest, I really feel a little out of date recently. All kinds of technologies that can detect human body characteristics emerge in endlessly. No matter how strong the skills are, they really can't match the progress of science and technology.".

"Don't worry, I'm ready for this. After a chat, I'll give you a suit of combat suit that can shield all the existing detection equipment.".

"Thank you," the white ghost said with a rare thanks, "someone is really following you today.".
