Chapter 482 Meeting an old friend again
"If you don't turn on the lights and light candles when night falls, you will be transported back to France in the 18th century, Your Highness the Duke. This is why it is known as the Little Versailles Palace on the Pacific Coast..."
The real estate agent who accompanied Barron had pride in his eyes and said to him respectfully:
“Such a luxurious and elegant interior is the result of Mr. Saperstein hiring some of the best art historians and buyers in the world to take care of everything for him.”
Looking at the luxurious decoration inside this palace-like building and the beauty of the garden outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Barron also agreed with what the other party said. Based on Barron's experience at this time, he also liked this place very much.
They are currently in the most luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills, which can even be ranked as one of the most expensive mansions in the world at this time. This is the Flower of Leith.
At this time, the corridor in front of Barron was like an art exhibition hall. Eighteenth-century gold-rimmed mirrors and classic master oil paintings hung on both sides of the wall. The occasional armchairs were all eighteenth-century boutiques. The fabrics were made of exquisite Lyon silk. .
The previous owner of the Flower of Leith was the American media tycoon David Saperstein. He built such an epic mansion in 2002, covering an area of more than 5 hectares. The entire mansion originally cost US$70 million, and only the furniture and interior decoration options alone amount to $55 million!
But now the Flower of Leith belongs to Susan Saperstein - she is David Saperstein's ex-wife. The two divorced in 2004 and after dividing the property, Susan got the mansion, but now she has decided to its for sale.
You know, such a mansion, currently priced at as high as 100 million US dollars, is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Of course, that doesn’t include Barron.
Although he had purchased a manor for Rebecca and her daughter here before, that residence was simply incomparable to this one.
For Barron now, if something makes him excited, he doesn’t need to think too much and just buy it.
After settling on this house, Barron left Los Angeles, took the Devon Hill and went directly to the Magic City of China.
"Already confirmed?"
"Well, I went to a private hospital in HK and was diagnosed again."
After receiving the inspection report handed over by Fan Bingbing, Barron looked at her and asked:
"Then what do you think?"
"I……"
Fan Bingbing met Barron's gaze and said firmly:
"I want to give birth to him."
Yes, Fan Bingbing was pregnant with Barron's child. After getting the news, Barron came to the magic city to see her.
"If you decide, then leave the rest to me."
Like Fan Bingbing's current situation, as one of the most famous female stars in China, it is indeed a difficult choice for her to avoid the public eye for a period of time and give birth to this child.
But the child is Barron’s…
Fan Bingbing naturally understood what it meant to be able to give birth to a child for him.
Based on what she knew from being together with Barron for so long, with this child, at least she wouldn't have to fight for anything in her life.
What's more, she just needs to avoid the public eye, just give birth to a child, and there is no need to give up her career - although at her current stage, "disappearing" for nearly a year will definitely be affected, but With capital as the backing, this is not a problem.
But what Barron is thinking about now is not just about such a child, but whether he can have more plans in China if there are children as a connection...
"Are you just following me so wholeheartedly?"
There was a bit of joking in Barron's tone, but Fan Bingbing's answer was serious and firm:
"Well, I've thought so since I was with you. If you don't want me anymore, then I can only treat myself as a human being."
"Don't worry..."
Barron held her in his arms and said softly:
"I will arrange everything for you... and the child. I just bought a house in Los Angeles. If you arrange things at home, you can go there and wait for the child to be born. Just tell the public that you will go to Hollywood to further your studies. After the baby is born next year, if you want to come back, then I will arrange a few movies for you in Hollywood, and I can also open up your overseas market."
"I listen to you..."
After appeasing Fan Bingbing, Barron had one more thing to do, which was to find a suitable manager for Tianhe Capital, which was previously registered in the name of Fan Bingbing.
Like Fan Bingbing, if it is film and television investment, she can still participate, but other investments - especially Barron's plan to use a platform like Tianhe Capital to make a larger layout for some investments in China time, she is now powerless.
Therefore, Barron needs to find a more suitable executor.
Of course, there is no need for him to do this himself. After making the request, a headhunting company will naturally do its best to screen suitable candidates for him.
"Isn't this Ms. Li Lu not in the country now?"
When looking through the CEO candidates of Tianhe Capital that the headhunting company had found for him, Barron raised his eyebrows and saw a familiar name.
From the photo, Barron confirmed that this was indeed the person he knew in his previous life - but the gentle-looking woman in the photo was more treacherous than the image of the "Iron Lady" he had in his previous life. Be younger.
"Yes, Your Highness the Duke, this Ms. Li used to work at Credit Suisse's investment bank, but due to personal reasons, she needs to return to China for development, so we can get her information..."
The headhunting company Barron was looking for was originally a foreign-funded enterprise, so the person he contacted was also a "foreigner." The blonde beauty said to him:
"We have contacted Ms. Li before. She has just completed the handover of her work and will be able to return to China to meet with you next week."
"So she's in New York now?"
After receiving the confirmation, Barron said:
"No need to go to such trouble. I'm going to New York later. Just ask her to wait for me in New York. Then we can meet and talk."
"What about...the others?"
"I looked at Ms. Li Lu's information and thought she should be my first choice. I'll wait until I meet her before I talk."
This is completely Barron's excuse. The main reason is that Barron knew Li Lu in his previous life. At that time, Li Lu was already an extremely successful investor, leading a domestic company with great strength. An investment company with extremely strong capabilities.
It can be said that Barron in his previous life could only look up to each other.
But he did not expect that in this time and space, Barron would meet the other party just when he had just resigned from Wall Street and was about to return to China. Based on his understanding of the other party, he was indeed the best candidate for the CEO of Tianhe Capital.
