"Thanks."

“Happy cooperation!”

In the conference room, Arthur shook hands with the credit manager of Barclays Bank and exchanged greetings. The subordinates behind the two were smiling, happy for the cooperation between the two sides.

Barclays has a long-term income partner, while Arthur has a capital pool that can borrow chickens to lay eggs, a win-win situation!

Originally, Arthur wanted to contact several more banks and choose the best partner from them. However, after a feeling of being impatient, Arthur had to speed up his progress. Moreover, among all the banks he has contacted, Barclays is indeed very sincere. What's more important is that his strength is enough to support his acquisition ambitions.

"I greet Mr. Bob Diamond on my behalf. If it is convenient, I would like to meet and chat with him and communicate more cooperation between the two parties in the future."

Before he was about to leave, Arthur and the credit manager said that the huge amount of funds needed for future plans forced Arthur to communicate with the CEO of Barclays and get support from each other.

Arthur's words made the other party feel a little stunned, and then said with a smile: "I will definitely bring you there. If you need anything, you can call me directly. We are looking forward to serving you as we go."

"Thank you." Arthur smiled and nodded to the other party, then he took the people away from Barclays Bank with no hesitation. He also took away two loans, totaling 70 million pounds, of which 20 million pounds were loaned with his personal credit.

Once the funds are in place, the plan for 100 apartments can be officially implemented.

After returning to the Financial City Qidian Investment Company, Arthur first listened in detail to Oliver, the head of the real estate investment project, on the next arrangements.

"Boss, the deposit has been delivered. Next, we need to pay 10% of the total housing price to the lawyer's trust account. At the same time, the lawyer needs to exchange the purchase contract. You may need to sign hundreds of contracts. After the contract is signed, we can get the property certificate and keys to pay the final payment of the total housing payment. After that, we can start renting and obtaining rent, and the company will officially start operations."

Since this time Arthur bought a second-hand house in addition to the existing house, there is no need to wait for the real estate developers to deliver the house. As long as the money is in place, the transaction can be completed.

"Haha, there are two contracts, hundreds of houses, not hundreds of contracts. It seems that I am very busy." Arthur, who had a smile on his face, said, and raised his hand and turned his wrist a few times, looking a little worried and too tired.

Oliver also chuckled, "The main reason is that it will take a lot of time, but I will ask the lawyers to review all contracts and check them clearly. At that time, you only need to sign."

"Yeah." Arthur nodded and said softly, looking at Oliver and asked with a smile: "Is there any news from Nicholas Cage?"

"I have already replied that Nicholas Cage will arrive in London on the 25th to promote the upcoming movie "Mysterious Code". He will take time to meet you, sign a contract and complete the transaction."

Oliver replied, "I have sent someone to the United States to inspect the mansion and are ready to accept it." As he said that, he took out his cell phone, opened the video and handed it to Arthur. He shook his head and introduced with a strange expression of laughter and crying on his face.

"This is a video sent back. I have to say that the taste of this actor is indeed a bit different. No wonder he has repeatedly reduced the price and no one cares about it. This decorative style is really discouraged..."

Arthur took the phone and looked at the scene playing. Arthur liked the castle architectural style of the entire mansion very much, especially the exterior walls were covered with green vines, which looked like the castle in a fairy tale. In the square at the entrance of the gate, there was a wide and grand circular driveway and classical fountain. On the right side of the courtyard, there were two-story rooms independent of the mansion, and on the left were Olympic standard swimming pool and private cinema.

However, when he saw the decorations inside the mansion, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull a few times.

This castle-style villa has a private wine cellar, a cinema, a game room, 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The decoration is extremely luxurious, and it is clearly the ultimate luxury house of Sei Palace.

However, what is the weird and weird "university fraternity style"? At least 300 comic strip covers are decorated on the wall, and in the two bedrooms and breakfast room, there are also toy model trains with tracks laid...

Seeing the strange expression on the boss's face, Oliver also smiled helplessly: "Although this actor's taste is a bit weird, this mansion is really worth the money. The mansion with a total of more than 3,000 square meters is located at the end of Sunset Avenue in the west of Los Angeles. The surroundings are beautiful and the sky is covered with green shade. It is far away from the hustle and bustle, and will never be disturbed by idle people."

"Yeah." As a movie fan, Arthur naturally knew Nicholas Cage's unique hobbies, and he loved to spend money on dinosaur skulls, heads, haunted houses, octopus, sharks, crocodiles, cobras, etc., and the pyramid grave he bought for himself...

"After buying it, I have someone reorganized it and cleaned up the messy things. However, the toy model train that lays the tracks can be kept, which is quite interesting.

What about the price?"

When Oliver heard the boss ask about the price, he pulled his face unnaturally a few times. Idols and fans could not match the real dollar. "The total price of two sets is 19 million US dollars, which is the lowest price that the other party can accept. If you say it again, Nicholas Cage may choose to wait for a while to find a new buyer."

"That's it..." Arthur narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Then let it be. After all, he is my idol. I'm sorry to bargain too hard. Everyone has to meet again, so they always have to leave a good impression for each other."

"..." Oliver squeezed a smile on his face and kept silent. He really didn't know how to talk to his boss.

Looking at Oliver's back as he left, Arthur's mouth raised slightly, he smiled, took out his mobile phone that was switched to silent mode, checked the information, and saw the message reply from Dragon Mom, and without hesitation, he called back.

The phone was quickly answered. Arthur asked about her audition in Hollywood first. In fact, it can be imagined that Emilia could be successful when she was not famous and unfamiliar with the place. As expected, the reality is the same. She has already stole all the toiletries and tea bags in the hotel lobby because she felt that she would definitely not come to Hollywood again.

In response to this, Arthur caught a black line in his head and stopped her mischief in a very serious tone.

"...Dear, since there is no chance there, please return to London as soon as possible. Influenza A is raging in the United States. I am worried about your safety, so you must pay attention..."

Arthur tried to persuade him, which made the Dragon Mom who wanted to let herself go and dispel her nonsense. Emilia also enjoyed Arthur's concern and said she missed him on the phone. It seemed that the brief separation had caused the emotions caused by the scandal to disappear.

The two of them got fucked for a while before they finished the call. Arthur shook his head and laughed and put his phone aside. He said before that due to the economic crisis, many studios in Hollywood cannot protect themselves. The number of Hollywood films will shrink by one third. There are too many monks and too few porridges, so how can there be so many opportunities for these dream chasers?

And not only Hollywood, but global film capital is in turmoil. Just like his cheap sister, she said, as long as she gives her five million pounds, she can find the crew and shoot a movie, people in the film industry are looking for money to invest everywhere.

Arthur wouldn't use money to waste it. Not to mention spending money to promote Eddie, even Dragon Mom, he never thought of spending money to promote it. He is not the kind of rich man with a lot of money and stupid people. Moreover, in the movie industry, it's so tumultuous that he doesn't know how to compensate him.

Thinking of these funny things, a sentence suddenly flashed through Arthur's mind that the worse the economy is, the more people are willing to spend money in the cinema and calm down their depression.

I have to admit that the film industry can really make money. However, thinking that the world was full of superhero movies in the previous life, Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and laugh again. Unfortunately, not long ago, Disney acquired Marvel for US$4.24 billion. Even if he had ideas, it would be useless. Besides, he didn't have that much money.
