Chapter 2128: The Mansion

Regarding Zhao Fusheng's plan to purchase the Chartwell Estate, both Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson were somewhat surprised.

Of course, they did not doubt Zhao Fusheng's financial strength.

That was beyond question.

Only a fool would question how much wealth Zhao Fusheng possessed.

From that deal with Samsung alone, he had at least over three billion US dollars in wealth.

In America, having a net worth of hundreds of millions qualifies you as a wealthy person. Someone like Zhao Fusheng could easily be called a super-rich individual.

But being rich didn't mean you spent money that way!

Spending three or four hundred million US dollars on a vacation home could no longer be described merely as 'generous.'

It only showed that the thinking of the rich, the mindset of the super-rich, was indeed different from ordinary people like themselves.

"Chairman, everything is arranged."

At that moment, Liu Yiming answered a phone call and turned to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Alright, let's go."

"Okay."

"Sure."

The others naturally nodded in agreement.

Soon, the convoy headed toward the estate.

Arriving near the Chartwell Estate, the manager of the real estate agency was already waiting there.

"Oh! Mr. Downey! Miss Johansson! And this is?"

Clearly, the agent was a movie fan and recognized both Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson, but not Zhao Fusheng.

"This is my boss, and also the buyer."

Robert Downey Jr. smiled and took the initiative to explain.

"Hello, respected sir. My name is Tom. If you don't mind, please allow me to serve you." The real estate agent's expression changed rapidly, becoming extremely polite as he spoke to Zhao Fusheng.

"Alright."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded, not minding.

In America, a name like Tom was almost as common as Li Ming or Wang Gang in China.

Under Tom's guidance, the group began touring the estate.

Entering through the main gate, what met their eyes were lush green plants.

"The landscaping near the main residential area is particularly well done. The front yard and gardens are specially designed to make you and your family feel as if you're in the middle of a prairie."

Tom introduced with a smile.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Not bad."

He was fairly satisfied with the estate's landscape design.

The group continued forward and arrived at the main building.

Pushing open the main entrance, the first impression was brightness, simplicity without excess. The vintage chairs became a highlight of the room.

The second floor offered a different scene—a luxurious yet not overly ostentatious main living room provided a comfortable experience for both hosts and guests.

"Look, here is a dining room that can seat eighteen people."

Tom continued to introduce.

Zhao Fusheng's gaze swept across the dining room, and he nodded.

"The murals and chandeliers are quite beautiful."

Scarlett Johansson also looked carefully and said to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Yes, the decoration is really good."

This was his honest opinion. The entire Chartwell Estate covered ten acres, but the main building's floor area was only about 25,000 square feet, roughly 2,300 square meters. However, that was only small in comparison; the rooms and facilities were complete and more than sufficient, with banquet halls of various styles available.

As Tom said, the design of this house was thoughtful.

Luxurious and meaningful.

That described this high-end estate.

"Shall we go to the viewing room?"

Tom asked Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Lead the way."

Soon, the group arrived at the viewing room.

"Look, from here you can see downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean in the distance!"

Tom said excitedly: "To be honest, respected sir, although I don't know what you do, if you buy this estate, I think it would be a tremendous promotion for your business."

Promotion?

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback, then laughed.

He looked at Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr.: "What do you think?"

Their expressions were quite amusing. They thought, did this man's business even need promotion?

Whether it was Facebook or Marvel, both were nationally renowned industries in the US. Advertising was completely unnecessary.

Seeing their strange expressions, the real estate agent Tom was also puzzled and asked them in confusion: "Mr. Downey, Miss Johansson, did I say something wrong?"

They all laughed. Scarlett Johansson pointed at Zhao Fusheng and said to Tom: "Mr. Tom, do you know who this man is?"

"I'm sorry, but my impression of Easterners is all the same, and I've never seen this gentleman in any financial magazine."

Tom said frankly.

He was quite honest, after all, Zhao Fusheng was not very famous. The name Zhao Fusheng was only known among a limited circle of Wall Street executives.

In contrast, Future Investment was more well-known, as it was a shareholder in Facebook and once a major shareholder in Twitter.

"Do you know Twitter and Facebook?"

Robert Downey Jr. spoke up.

"Yes, what about them?"

Tom blinked, looking bewildered.

Robert Downey Jr. smiled and pointed at Zhao Fusheng, saying to Tom: "The former major shareholder of Twitter was this Mr. Zhao. He sold Twitter to Samsung of South Korea, and he was also the original major shareholder and founder of Facebook."

What the fuck!

Tom was stunned.

He had thought that anyone considering buying the Chartwell Estate must be wealthy.

Whether Easterner or Westerner, spending two or three hundred million on an estate meant they were a big shot.

But he never expected it to be someone like this!

Tom knew that Twitter had been sold to Samsung years ago, as Twitter had many users in the US.

As for Facebook, it went without saying. Many middle-aged and young Americans now loved logging into their Facebook accounts daily to check social updates and share their moods.

And this guy in front of him was the original investor in both sites?

Holy shit!

How much money did he have?

Staring wide-eyed at the smiling Zhao Fusheng, Tom felt a bit dizzy.

Had he accidentally landed a big fish?

"Mr. Tom, what is the current price of this estate?"

Zhao Fusheng casually asked Tom with a smile.

"Three hundred and thirty million US dollars."

Tom said somewhat numbly: "But if you are truly interested in buying, we can negotiate. I think the owner would also be willing to make a friend like you."

He meant it sincerely. After all, among billionaires of this level, it was common to build goodwill.

This mindset was the same whether in America or China.
