Chapter 291 Apartment Plan
Old John almost laughed out loud when he heard that Beckham had 500 million pounds in his account.

"David, you are the funniest kid I've ever seen. I want to remind you that your money is a piece of paper in your pocket and just a number in the bank.

I also want to emphasize that money has no gender, it will not produce love for the same kind, and naturally it cannot reproduce.

I guess you're planning a huge sterling blind date hahaha! "

Beckham: "."

Through the pages of the book, he could feel the mockery from Old John.

You can fully feel his mood from the other party's sudden unrestrained and wanton flying handwriting.

When ordinary people hear this number, they usually envy their earning ability, but Old John laughs at his financial incompetence.

After three years of unsuspecting exchanges, Beckham can feel that the identity of the other party is far from being as simple as a Manchester United fan.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Old John was indeed a well-informed person.

He has lived in the East End of London since he was a child, and has seen too many middle-aged men in their 40s who have achieved nothing.

The biggest characteristic of these people is their love of vanity. They are always eager to show their brilliance to everyone, and use insignificant experiences to prove that they are people who have seen the world.

This is the state where the uncles are not drinking. They can still take care of their image and restrain themselves when they are sober.

Once drunk, middle-aged adults can always rely on class instinct to launch a special East End bragging tournament when they get together.

The results of the game often end badly.

But Old John is just the opposite. He always puts on the look of an old dick who would die without football, never accept new things, and hold on to the past days and refuse to let go.

Truth be told, Old John was so good at it that at one point he made Beckham think he was one of the mortals who had signed his autograph in London or Manchester.

At the end of a certain game, the player vented and kicked the ball into the stands, and the football rushed in the direction of Old John.

From the perspective of Old John, who was higher than the stands, this action was nothing more than one dot hitting another dot in the sky, and the latter flew towards him and gradually grew larger.

There was light in Old John's eyes, and his first thought was never to return the football to the stadium, but to take it home for the neighbors to see, let his own children kick it, and then sell it for a good price.

In this way, the one-month ticket is back.

Old John has been working hard to create such a personality for himself in the past two years.

It has to be said that in the first year when the two just met, Old John played very successfully.

When he asked the reporter about the tattoo style on his thigh, he really disgusted Beckham.

If it wasn't for curiosity about the future, if it wasn't for wanting to know the trajectory of his life in the future, it would be better not to think that the other party is a die-hard fan of Manchester United. Beckham might have put that nonsensical autobiography in the fireplace on the first floor.

Perhaps because of his insight into his own resentment, Old John would pretend to be a successful person from time to time, looking more like an old dick.

But time doesn't lie, this guy will say a thought-provoking sentence from time to time, and inadvertently reveal things that people with social status will experience.

For example, the family of a member of the royal family is an empty shelf. They have been trying to sell their daughter to rich people in exchange for a wealthy life in the future.

This story is very similar to "Titanic", but at the moment when Old John spoke, there was no trace at all, not even the "Sun" with a keen sense of smell.

As a result, this family was exposed in June last year. His family appeared to be well-to-do in front of people, but in fact they were wearing long johns with countless holes in their formal clothes.

Their financial situation was spotted by a thoughtful cleaner who, by sorting through the household waste in his home, judged that the family was in dire straits.

Later, the cleaner sold the news to the "Sun" and suddenly got rid of the poor life.

Since then, Beckham's opinion of Old John has greatly improved, and more loopholes have been discovered.

Facts have proved that the other party is not a simple person, or someone who is willing to show him a side that should have been hidden.

Thinking of this, Beckham simply asked without beating around the bush: "Old John, can you share some investment items that are easier to make money?"

Within a few minutes, a line of words appeared on the page: "Buy a house in London, then sell it in 2007, and you will be guaranteed a lot of money."

After reading this simple line, Beckham couldn't help frowning.

You must know that in the UK, being an apartment is not a safe and stable investment method, and it is also a risky investment.

Such an incident happened in the United States decades ago, and even the housing prices in New York plummeted like falling from the sky.

After the island nation burst its economic bubble, housing prices have been falling, and they have not bottomed out yet.

Since the 80s, Mrs. Thatcher has strongly advocated residents to buy government public housing. During 1980-1986, three laws were promulgated successively, forming a real estate bubble known as the Lawson boom. British housing prices rose by 1987% in 16 and by another 1988% in 25.

However, starting in the first quarter of 1989, the bubble burst.As of the second quarter of 1993, real housing prices in the UK fell by 47%, and mortgage interest rates were raised to 15%. Owners who took floating rate loans fell into despair.

The small villa he lived in was sold at a price of 300 pounds because the original owner had no hope.

Villas in the suburbs of Manchester cost less than 500 pounds per square meter. If you want such a house this year, you may have to pay an extra 2 pounds.

Although the increase is not obvious, it can be seen that housing prices are indeed rebounding.

The last time he went home, he heard old Ted mention that the average housing price in London had risen by nearly 3 pounds per square meter in three years.

Beckham found himself focusing on risks, so even though he knew the price increase trend of the real estate industry in the past two years, he never thought of taking advantage of the opportunity.

Only now did he bring together information that he had known but never assembled.

Beckham replied thoughtfully: "What is the expected return in the next ten years? Is this an investment with both risks and returns?"

A few seconds later, Old John continued to reply: "As long as you buy real estate in London, you can accept even a heavy loan. The house price increase in the Harnik area near your home is simply outrageous, with an increase of more than 700% in ten years.

In addition, the prices of real estate near the university are also rising the fastest, and you know the specific reasons.

Now investing in real estate does not require relevant professional knowledge, as long as you have money! "

Ok.

Seeing Old John's tone of conclusion, Beckham restrained himself from reconfirming the degree of danger, and asking the other party must be paranoid.

The two chatted for a long time, and Old John was planning to go back and look up information, and then share some content with him, so that he can make portfolio investments in the future.

Beckham is also looking for something to say, he is waiting for the other party's exchange conditions.

The idea of ​​a parallel world comes from Old John. Whenever Beckham’s life trajectory deviates from that world, he would always ask Old John if Beckham in that world has changed. Old John always said that there has been no change.

This is just one-sided verification by Old John, he has no way to verify right or wrong, because it is really difficult for people in the future to affect their past lives.

Two people may or may not be in the same world.

If they were in the same world, Old John could exchange important future economic matters with himself, for example, using a certain percentage of income to help him, so that his life would change immediately.

With himself, he has a high probability of being able to enjoy a high-quality life for middle-aged and elderly people.

If the two of them were not in the same world, Old John would have spent too much time on himself, which was completely unscientific.

No one has ever helped a stranger for a long time without expecting anything in return.

People in the two worlds are not familiar with each other anyway.

An immature idea rose in Beckham's mind, but he pressed it down again.

He felt that this idea was nonsense just thinking about it, and the probability of this result was probably more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack, so he completely rejected this idea.

He is not in a hurry to determine the answer to this matter. The 37-year-old Beckham teaches the 22-year-old Beckham to manage money. This idea can easily arouse the rebellious psychology of young people, because the older one will definitely share his experience and then preach.

Just thinking about it makes me crumble.
Instead of thinking about such far-fetched things, it is better to study and invest in real estate.

Last year, he planned to buy a small villa for the old man in the family, and his sister and younger sister also moved in.

When they get married, I can give them a comfortable place to live, and then continue to give them financial support.

As a result, Beckham's idea was firmly opposed by the old Ted: "You will only turn them into shameful parasites, and they should be responsible for their own lives.

Of course I live in the house you bought, but I can't live in a big house with your mother and leave them next to the slums.

If you continue to support them, people with ulterior motives will approach them and earn benefits.

At that time, not only will they not be happy, but they will also hate the help you provide. "

Beckham pondered old Ted's words over and over again. He felt that his father had outlined the living conditions of the people at the bottom in a few words.

If morality cannot match wealth, the end of the poor is still poor.

But after Old John brought up real estate, he had another half-baked idea.

You can buy some real estate by yourself, and then distribute it to your family members to collect rent, and let them use it as an apartment.

But the rent must not belong to them. They need to complete some goals to get a commission in proportion to the rent, and the amount of commission can be slightly higher than the income of ordinary people, so that they can fully satisfy their lives without letting them fall into a comfortable state.

Hmm. That's a good idea. It seems that I should find someone who understands the law to help me research this aspect.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Beckham's face, and he could clearly feel that life had taken another step forward.

But looking at it this way, I am still an apartment, just an apartment that hires people to collect rent.
