American fame and fortune.

Chapter 415 focuses on a friend who takes the initiative to help solve financial difficulties.

After hanging up the phone and putting down the phone, Martin picked up a knife and fork, cut into the roasted meat Lily had cooked, carefully ate a piece, and found that it tasted good.

He swallowed it and said, "When did you get this cooking skill?"

Lily cut all the barbecue into square pieces flexibly, and said with a smile: "I practiced it with Hall. I didn't do well at the beginning, but Hall supported me, even if I added too much salt. If the meat is fried and burnt, he will eat it all."

Martin observed two seconds of silence for Hall: "It's not easy for him to grow up so big."

Bruce, who lowered his head to eat, looked at Martin and then at Lily, thinking that his brother might not have human rights since he was a child.

After Martin finished eating, he took a set of information and handed it to Lily: "Take a look."

"This..." Lily thought it was something like review materials. After all, Martin, who was not a human being, had given her several large boxes of bison horns as gifts.

Facing Martin, Lily was more confident than facing Elena, and said weakly: "I have worked very hard, you don't need to give me these anymore."

Martin couldn't help but smile: "You take a look first."

Lily opened the information bag and found that it was mostly filled with photos. Photos of a mansion that looked quite big. Not to mention the courtyard and sports ground, there were two large villas alone.

She has been in Los Angeles for more than a year and knows something about this place. This may be a mansion worth more than 2000 million US dollars.

Martin asked, "Well, isn't it good?"

"Uh, very good." Lily misunderstood: "This is too expensive..."

Martin broke her fantasy: "Don't worry, I'm not buying it for you. The house has just been put up for sale. Go and help me buy it in your name."

Lily was surprised: "Why don't you go in person? If I go, I have to go through one more hands. How troublesome."

Martin told the truth: "This house belongs to a friend of mine. He is in some trouble now. He lacks sufficient cash flow and wants to sell the house to raise money. I have a good relationship with him. It would not be good to take advantage of the situation and buy his house at a low price." ."

Lily thought to herself, what kind of unlucky ghost actually made such a good friend like you, who was probably cursed by Satan when he was born.

But after all, she only dared to think about such words, but did not dare to say them.

Martin asked, "You don't want me to go and find someone else."

Lily quickly responded: "I have no problem." She decided to straighten her waist a little. After all, she was a rich little rich woman, and her financial foundation gave her some confidence: "After you buy it, leave a room for me. Arrange it however you like.”

"Okay." After all, Martin is not Elena, and he will not repay love with an iron fist, but he is worse in some aspects: "From now on, the hygiene of the villa will be left to you."

Lily looked at the villa in the photo, and then at her own artist's hand, wanting to cry.

Martin said deliberately: "Go, Miss Multimillionaire, go and buy that mansion."

Lily stood up, tidied her clothes a bit, took the information from Martin, contacted the real estate agent first, and then went out to drive a red Cadillac and headed straight to Beverly Hills.

After more than half a year on the set of "The Dark Knight", Lily has seen a lot and is not timid at all.

Martin and Bruce got into a Volkswagen and followed.

…………

Beverly Hills, the best location north of Sunset Boulevard.

Peter walked by the outdoor swimming pool in the back garden and entered the back door of the main house. He picked up his bag and looked at the slightly empty house, feeling extremely reluctant to leave.

He spent more than 1200 million US dollars to buy it a few years ago. He bought an almost abandoned house and the money could be said to be used to buy land.

After that, more than 2500 million US dollars were spent to demolish and rebuild the building, giving it what it is today.

"This house, I think it's worth 3000 million U.S. dollars." Pete looked at his investment advisor: "But it can only be listed for 1300 million U.S. dollars."

The investment consultant said: "It is not a few years ago now. There is an economic crisis, the real estate is in recession, and the real estate prices in the United States are falling, and we are in a hurry to sell. Only when the price is lowered can we sell quickly. Not many, you live in Beverly Hills, and seeing the surrounding situation, there are quite a few houses that are vacant and want to sell but cannot be sold because of the price.”

Pete certainly saw it, otherwise how could he agree to sell at such a price.

I used to think that having too much cash on hand was a waste of assets. But when it comes to using it, I find that working capital is the life-saving asset.

The investment consultant added: "If you don't sell this building, you will have to sell the house or manor in New York..."

Pete no longer wants to stay in Los Angeles. This city makes him feel insecure: "No, the house in New York can't be sold. What about the stocks in the stock market?"

The investment consultant looked unhappy: "You can't find anyone to take over the Fannie Mae stocks you have."

He said it quite nicely. Real estate was super hot a few years ago, and the Washington authorities made it the focus of the economy. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were simply the stars among stars.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kind of popularity cannot last forever. He persuaded Pete not to invest in Fannie Mae, but Pete didn't listen at all. As a result, most of the liquidity was invested in Fannie Mae.

Fannie Mae's stock today is little different from scrap paper.

Peter said with a sense of desolation: "I hope the next owner can treat this house well."

The investment adviser answered the phone: "Good news, the real estate agent will bring someone over to view the house in a moment." Peter urgently needed a large amount of liquidity to solve the problems he faced, or even go to jail, so he immediately walked out: "Let's go. "

When the two of them went out of the gate in a car, they happened to see two cars approaching.

They recognized the car in front of them, the real estate agent's Mercedes-Benz, but behind them was an unfamiliar red Cadillac.

Through the windshield of the Cadillac, Peter saw that the driver was a pretty young girl.

Real estate agent Susan's Mercedes-Benz was parked by the fountain in front of the villa. When Lily got out of the car, she said: "This house was built only 6 years ago, and the previous owner lived there for only 3 years. Everything is no different from the brand new one... …”

Lily walked up the steps and looked around. The front courtyard planted with flowers, plants and palm trees was spacious and flat. The independent outdoor barbecue area could hold parties of hundreds of people at any time without being crowded.

Nearby, two large villas on the second floor with attics are connected in an L shape and independent of each other.

Behind the house, there is a garden and outdoor swimming pool on one side, and a tennis court and helicopter pad on the other.

Compared to this mansion, Martin's current house is much worse.

Lily had a feeling that under normal circumstances, the $1300 million the real estate agent said would never be able to buy it. It would be nice to be able to buy the land.

She asked curiously: "Susan, who is the owner of this house?"

Susan couldn't hide it, so she simply said: "It's Brad Pitt. You should have heard about him. If he didn't want to raise money as soon as possible, he wouldn't sell it at this price."

Hearing the name Peter, Lily immediately understood why Martin didn't come forward in person.

Peter is Martin's "good friend"!

Lily followed Susan around and said, "I don't want any furniture or anything like that. If you lower the price, if it's suitable, I can sign a contract with you and pay today."

Susan couldn't make the decision, so she called and communicated with people, and finally priced it at US$1200 million.

The whole world is in an economic crisis, and customers who can quickly withdraw such a large amount of cash are not something you can meet immediately.

The next day, Lily and her lawyer followed Susan through various procedures, and then she was forced to transfer it to Martin before it was warmed up.

Pete only kept the money from selling the house for two days, and a large part of it was paid out after reaching a settlement agreement with the victims' group headed by Caroline.

During the special period, Pete cut the mess quickly, fully learned how Nicholson, the boss of the bastard trio, dealt with the illegitimate children, gave them a sum of money to send them away, and signed relevant agreements to let people go as far as they could and avoid entering the judicial process .

The main reason is a guilty conscience. Once the judicial process is entered and the paternity test is correct, it will not be a small sum of money, but the flesh will be cut off.

After these worries are resolved, Peter and the lawyers can concentrate on dealing with Breitling and Cadillac's breach of contract lawsuits.

Compared with those, this is the most terrifying opponent.

If it cannot settle out of court or loses the lawsuit, Pitt may even go bankrupt due to compensation.

In order to form a luxury legal team, Peter once again raised funds and sold a luxury apartment near New York's Central Park at a low price.

After he renovated it, he never lived in it.

New York has been most affected by the economic crisis. Real estate prices are already low. People are eager to sell houses in exchange for funds, so prices can only fall further.

Martin kept people watching Peter, and the tool Lily immediately went online and flew to New York to buy an apartment with a Central Park view of more than 300 square meters.

The main theme is that a good friend should help solve financial difficulties in time.

Peter doesn't know it yet, but he will definitely shout out his thanks if he finds out.

In Beverly Hills, Martin ignored Lily, a toolman who was busy working in New York, and called his beloved little witch. Together they drove a Porsche to the luxurious villa in the North District of Sunset Boulevard.

The car drove to the door, Martin pressed the wireless key in his hand, and the wrought iron door opened automatically.

Elizabeth walked along the curved main road until she came to the fountain square of the villa. After parking the car, she said, "This house is big enough. It is much better than my sisters' houses."

Martin specifically said: "There is an indoor swimming pool, but I haven't bought any furniture yet."

Elizabeth jumped out of the car: "Let's go in and take a look."

The mansion was built six years ago and has been extremely well maintained. It looks like a new one. Martin doesn't plan to touch the outside, but he needs to decorate and improve the interior appropriately and buy new furniture.

The more Elizabeth looked at it, the more satisfied she became. The courtyard was large enough, the building area was large, the indoor swimming pool and fitness room were all available, there was also a private cinema that could accommodate more than a dozen people watching movies at the same time, and a large restaurant for more than 30 people to dine.

"Two years ago, this house would have sold for at least US$2800 million." Elizabeth knew something about the mansion: "You got a big deal."

Martin smiled and said nothing more.

Stealing women, stealing endorsements, stealing movie roles, and robbing luxury houses.
