Chapter 7: Langwood Manor
Mawei reached out and brushed his forehead. The White House was the house where the US president lived and his official residence. No matter how rich he had, he could not buy it.
"Which is the most expensive mansion except the White House?" Mawei asked Ivan patiently.
"That should be located in northwest of Washington, D.C....Bethesda? I heard that there are very luxurious custom estates there? And it is the place with the highest education level and per capita income in the United States." Ivan scratched his head, but fortunately he happened to know the place "Bethesda".
"The custom manor sounds pretty good. Let's go out tomorrow morning and go there to take a look." Ma Wei directly issued a command.
"Okay, young master, then I'll arrange my itinerary now." The housekeeper Ivan still has the efficiency of his work. This saved Mawei a lot of worry.
When the butler left the room, Ma Wei couldn't help but sigh. In the past two days, he had been suppressing a sense of restlessness in his heart, always thinking about using heavy weapons to destroy something.
It’s a pity that he is in the United States and it is illegal to hold a heavy weapon. So Ma Wei couldn’t be so stupid as to be an enemy of the law, so he had to continue to suppress this agitation.
The next morning, Mawei, accompanied by the housekeeper and bodyguard, drove all the way to Bethesda in the Cadillac convoy.
Bethesda is a small town with beautiful environment and charming natural scenery. It has blue sky and clear river water. It is known as one of the must-visit places to travel to the United States. Many scenery in the city, like a pictorial, are so beautiful that it makes people fascinate.
Such a beautiful environment has attracted many overseas people who want to buy a house or settle in the United States.
However, Bethesda was listed as "the second most suitable city to live in" by Forbes. Therefore, many wealthy people are willing to choose to buy a house here. Even if they don't live in normal times, they will be very good to buy it and take a vacation occasionally.
When the Cadillac race car drove all the way to the Langewood Villa Manor in Bethesda. At this time, Ivan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and introduced to Mavie, "Master, this is the most luxurious residential area in Bethesda. All the manors and manors in front of you are tailor-made."
Listening to the butler's introduction, Ma Wei turned to look at the picturesque villas, and felt that the rich Americans really enjoyed it! The villas were designed, which was pleasing to the eye, with both luxurious British style, romantic French style, charming Italian style, etc.
"Young Master, there is the sales center of Langwood Manor in front of it." The butler Ivan had done his homework before coming, which made Mavie not have to search everywhere like a headless fly.
When three pure black Cadillac luxury cars were parked in front of the manor sales center in a grand manner, a blonde and blue-eyed house sales lady, wearing a suit skirt and black high heels, came out to greet her.
In such a high-end luxury residential area, every seller must have extraordinary eyesight, otherwise he will not be able to keep up with the pace of the rich.
"Good morning! Sir, welcome to the sales center of Langewood Manor! Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lisa. I am very happy to know you!" The female salesman with great eyes can tell at a glance that Mavie is an important figure among these Russians.
After all, a group of people were wearing suits, Mavie was wearing casually...
"Lisa? How much does a villa in your manor cost?" Ma Wei asked the female salesperson casually.
"It's such a sir. All the luxury houses in our Langwood Manor are tailor-made, with an average price of around 1.2 million US dollars. I'd like to ask you, sir, what is your budget for buying a house this time?"
When the salesperson Lisa spoke, her blue eyes kept staring at Mavi’s expression. If Mavi’s expression became awkward or embarrassing during the quotation process, then Lisa would roughly know that the Russian guest’s financial strength was.
After she finished speaking, Ma Wei nodded lightly. But what he said next immediately scared Lisa!
"1.2 million US dollars? Then come to ten buildings." Ma Wei said in English with a faint tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lisa, the sales lady standing in front of him, suddenly thought she had heard it wrong, and was obviously stunned for several seconds! Seeing the expression on her face at this moment, she was astonished as a scared child, and was stunned.
"Ten...Ten Buildings? Sir, you are not joking, are you?" Lisa was so surprised that she couldn't even say anything. She whispered for a long time before she expressed her meaning clearly.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Ma Wei asked with a smile. He bought ten manors at a time, not only for his own living, but also for the intention of investing.
2000 happened to be the time when real estate was launched. The price of a top-quality manor like Langewood can double in less than two years! By 2018, the price of each manor is conservatively estimated to be 20 million US dollars. This real estate investment can be at least 16.6 times the huge profit!
Moreover, in the United States in 2000, it was very easy for overseas people to handle house purchase procedures. There was not as many complicated processes as thereafter. Mavikari had money, and it would be spent after spending 12 million, which didn't matter. In a few days, he would go to Google to talk about investing.
Sales lady Lisa looked at Ma Wei in a daze for a long time, then suddenly remembered something, and quickly said to Ma Wei, "Then! Sir! I'll check the sales situation now! Why don't you come in with me!"
Happiness came too suddenly, which made Lisa’s sales rhetoric no longer care about it. What she was thinking about now was to trade these ten manors worth 12 million US dollars. Then she would get a great reward!
Mavie enjoys the fun of spending money. The key is that it is strictly not considered consumption, but a very valuable investment.
In order not to let the guests wait too long, Lisa hurriedly ran to the manager's office after taking Mavie to the sofa in the reception area, "Manager John! There is a guest outside, he, he wants to buy a villa in our manor! Please help me receive it!"
Manager John is a fat white man about 50 years old. His round figure fills the fat gray suit. He looks like the kind of talent who has to breathe for a long time when climbing stairs.
"Speak slowly, speak slowly, don't be so anxious." John picked up the coffee at his desk and took a sip of it comfortably.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that Lisa was a little uneasy in her work. After all, their Langwood Manor was one of the best luxury residential communities, and it was reasonable for customers to buy a villa.
However, just as the manager John was thinking this way, Lisa, who came to the table, said to him with a scare and fearless death, "Manager John! The guest outside said he wanted to buy our ten manors! Ten!"
Lisa deliberately repeated the number so that the manager would not think she had heard it wrongly, just like her.
