Chapter 1373 Jackman Is Anxious to Sell His House
Before he had time to look at the old Republican Party's information, Shi Lei couldn't help but smile when he saw Wei Puti's WeChat message.
I really lost money, and I’m afraid I lost a lot of money.
Buying a house is just to pay off debt, right?
This old Republican named Jack Manfrees had earlier said that he would verify the opponent's identity to ensure his loyalty to the Republican Party.
But now it seems that as long as someone is willing to take out this money, he should be eager to sell the property he lives in, right?
After the plane landed at the San Francisco airport, Shi Lei took his luggage. As soon as he stepped out, he saw someone holding a large sign with two Chinese characters written crookedly on it. Shi Lei walked towards the man holding the sign with a smile.
The man looks to be in his thirties, but it's hard to tell. The appearance and age of foreigners do not match. Some college students who have just graduated often look like people in their thirties.
"Hello, I am Shi Lei."
Shi Lei extended his hand to the man holding the sign.
The man quickly shook hands with Shi Lei and said, "Hello, Mr. Shi, I am Tom. Mr. Bai Boishui asked me to pick you up."
After a pause, Tom said again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, I think I still need to confirm your identity."
Shi Lei shrugged and said it was casual, so Tom took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Shi Lei, then sent it and received confirmation of boiled water soon.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time. After all, it involves my work for more than half a month, so I can only confirm it."
Shi Lei nodded to express his understanding. Tom took the luggage from Shi Lei's hand and diligently led him to the parking lot and got into a Ford car.
"Mr. Shi, we have arranged a hotel to welcome you. The hotel is in San Francisco. You have to take a rest after a long journey. I can also take this time to give you a better introduction to what we are going to see. That house. Of course, if you have other plans, you can tell me and I will try my best to arrange it.”
Just as he was about to briefly introduce the situation of the hotel to Shi Lei, Shi Lei waved his hand and said: "No need to go to the hotel. My time is limited and I hope to meet Mr. Jack Manfrees as soon as possible. If we can reach an agreement immediately, I would also like to do it earlier." Leave. If you need to stay in a hotel, I’ll stay near Silicon Valley.”
Tom pushed up the glasses on his face. He was really looking forward to it, but he didn't have any hope that everything would be settled today.
He had met and communicated with Jackman. The old man was a very rigid guy and probably not that easy to talk to.
Moreover, he is still living in that house. Even if a purchase and sale agreement can be reached, it may not be completed immediately. At least until he moves out, the contract can be signed and the payment made.
However, Shi Lei hopes to negotiate as soon as possible, which is always a good thing.
"Mr. Shi, are you sure you don't need to rest?"
"No need, I was sleeping on the plane the whole time, and I'm very energetic now. Let's go directly to Atherton. How far is it from Atherton?"
"The whole journey is about seventy kilometers, and it will take more than an hour to arrive. If Mr. Shi is sure that you don't need to rest, then we will go straight to Atherton."
Shi Lei nodded, but Tom did not drive, but made a phone call.
This call was made to Jackman Freese. He told Jackman that he would come to see the house in about an hour and a half and asked Jackman if he could receive him.
For Tom, Jackman is always a rich man, and his house is not so accessible. Reservations must be made in advance. Who knows if the stereotypical old Republican will have time?
Fortunately, Jackman really needs to sell the house now, and the sooner the better, because they are actually waiting to take over Tayastan's company and then transfer its funds to pay off the debts they owe. .
But they didn't expect the ferryman to act so quickly. Before the European consortium could do anything, the ferryman had already taken away all the money, leaving them with only those companies.
Although those companies can still be sold for some money, a group of companies that have had all their funds emptied out have had their funds frozen by the new Tayastan government. The value of the companies can be imagined.
In the ten hours since Shi Lei flew here, Jackman had already communicated with other people in the consortium and confirmed with each other how much money they could still recover. The final realization was that Jackman would owe nearly $100 million in debt, and Jackman was also anxious about when he could sell the house.
For Jackman, he is very reluctant to sell this house. After all, he has lived in this house for many years, and these years were also his richest period.
Unexpectedly, an action that was supposed to clean up all the black money in his name ended up causing him to not only lose all the money, but also owe nearly 100 million in debt. This even resulted in him having to sell real estate to fill the hole.
In fact, his creditor is not a vicious person, at least not as vicious as when he was young. However, Jackman is old and he knows the consequences of not paying back the money. At this age, Jackman already wants to Live your old life peacefully and don't want to get into more trouble.
After so many years of hard work, Jackman never wants to go back to his old life.
The cash is gone, the companies and real estate under his name can still guarantee his life, he is still a rich man, but the nearly 100 million owed must be made up as soon as possible.
Jackman and the consortium in the United States actually didn't know that the ferryman had been tricked. They only thought that the ferryman tricked them and took away all the funds in those companies of Tayastan.
So, when Jackman received Tom's call, he immediately agreed and said that he would always be at home and could come to see the house at any time.
Tom was a little surprised by Jackman's attitude. After hanging up the phone, he started the car and said to Shi Lei: "Mr. Shi, I really didn't expect it. I thought that the communication with Mr. Freese would not be so smooth, but I didn't expect him to agree so readily. It seems that the possibility of success of this transaction is very high."
Shi Lei smiled slightly and said: "He is more anxious than anyone else to sell the house now. He is very short of money."
"Oh?" Tom obviously couldn't understand. In his opinion, people like Jackman would never be so tight on money that they would use selling houses to solve economic problems.
However, he did not dare to refute Shi Lei's words, but just concentrated on driving.
After more than an hour's drive, the two finally entered the range of Atherton.
Tom called Jackman again, and after confirming that he was at home, he drove Shi Lei directly to Jackman's home.
The gate slowly opened, Tom drove in, and Shi Lei almost saw the whole picture of this mansion.
The total area is unknown, but from the front yard, that is, the area of more than two acres between the gate and the main building, this mansion must be at least 5,000 to 6,000 square meters.
The main building should also cover more than 1,000 square meters, and the backyard will only be larger, and it should be roughly 2,000 to 3,000 square meters.
Shi Lei was still very satisfied with the overall appearance of this mansion. Next, it depends on whether Jackman can satisfy Shi Lei.
Shi Lei originally only planned to consume the quota for the city copy consumption, but now that he knows that Jackman is a member of the consortium, he has some other ideas.
The car slowly stopped in front of the main building, and Shi Lei got out.
