Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Chapter 253: Fort Saint Louis

After a few days of fun in Shanghai, Qi Sheng and the others headed home.

Fortunately, the Bombardier Global 7500 was large enough to accommodate their big family.

With his "never-crash" buff,

Qi Sheng naturally wasn’t worried about any flight accidents.

He even pulled three of the girls into the master bedroom for some fun on the plane.

The master bedroom’s private, automated door was very well soundproofed.

If not for the three girls shyly lowering their heads afterward,

his other girlfriends would never have guessed what they had been up to.

By now, they were unfazed by his licentious behavior.

With so many of them, some were even a bit envious.

After all, there was only one Qi Sheng.

The time he could spend with each of them was extremely limited.

Luckily, Qi Sheng had been on his best behavior lately, not running off to find them any new "sisters."

This, at least, put them at ease.

Otherwise, if the number of "sisters" kept growing,

they might not even get to see Qi Sheng once a month.

...

After landing at Tianfu Airport,

Qi Sheng and the others exited directly through the VIP channel after clearing security.

Now that he was on his home turf, Qi Sheng no longer bothered with a low profile.

A motorcade composed entirely of Cadillac Escalades was lined up neatly,

ready to welcome Qi Sheng and his large family.

At least in China, you didn’t have to worry about a gang of burly men with firearms piling out of such vehicles.

If you saw a motorcade of Escalades abroad, it was best to give them a wide berth.

Qi Sheng sat in the back of the Cullinan at the center of the formation.

Tan Hua was on his left, and Jiang Wanqiu was on his right.

Qu Man and the others hadn’t come along; they had all remained in Shanghai.

It was, however, Jiang Wanqiu’s first time in the Sichuan and Chongqing region, and she looked around with fascination.

As the motorcade entered Black Jade Island, Qi Sheng found the sight of his villa increasingly displeasing.

It had been fine before, but with his "family" growing larger and larger,

its six bedrooms were nowhere near enough.

The majority of his girlfriends were from the Sichuan and Chongqing area,

or had been working there for years.

Their culinary tastes had long since adapted to the local food.

They might not feel at ease if they were to suddenly leave a place they knew so well for Shanghai or the Capital City.

Since Chengdu was going to remain his home base for the foreseeable future,

it was time to put purchasing a new, larger mansion on the agenda.

Qi Sheng decided to go all out and buy the Fort Saint Louis estate in the Atlantis complex outright.

...

In early September, Qi Sheng brought his large family to tour Fort Saint Louis, hailed as Chengdu’s most prestigious mansion.

A price tag of 380 million certainly earned it that title.

Even in Shanghai, that kind of money could easily buy you a mansion in Tan Palace or Jun Court.

Even the premiere villa at Nine Rooms Hall that Qi Sheng had bought for Jiang Wanqiu wasn’t as expensive as Fort Saint Louis.

Of course, that was just the list price.

The actual transaction price would certainly be much lower.

The residential complex where Fort Saint Louis was located had opened for sale back in 2011.

Eight years had passed, yet Fort Saint Louis remained unsold.

The situation was, to say the least, awkward.

It was the perfect example of a property with a price but no market.

Wang Hua, the general manager of the development company, led them on a tour of the mansion.

As a local, Wang Hua was of course well aware of the much-talked-about chairman of Spicy King.

He had just never expected Qi Sheng to be so young.

’Just think, Spicy King’s valuation has already reached the 10 billion US Dollars mark.

’If it went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, its market capitalization would start at 100 billion, at least.

’And according to public information, Qi Sheng’s stake was over 80%, at a minimum.

’Even after a few more rounds of funding diluted his shares, by the time Spicy King went public, Qi Sheng’s net worth would be in the tens of billions, easily.

’If Spicy King’s performance was exceptional, it wasn’t out of the question for his on-paper net worth to break the 100 billion mark.

’After all their years of struggle, Old Ma and Brother Xiaoma’s on-paper net worth was only around that level.’

"Chairman Qi, this Fort Saint Louis estate covers a staggering eight mu—that’s equivalent to thirteen basketball courts."

"Furthermore, it’s completely surrounded by water, connected to the mainland by a single bridge that is 7.3 meters wide and 10.65 meters long."

"Its privacy is unparalleled in this community."

"Additionally, the mansion itself has a floor area of 2,000 square meters and boasts eighty-two bedrooms."

"I would strongly recommend you hire a professional team of butlers; otherwise, it would significantly impact your daily living experience."

After his brief introduction, Wang Hua let Qi Sheng and his group wander and explore as they pleased.

Since the mansion was a tough sell anyway, he didn’t mind extending a small courtesy.

"Honey, isn’t this mansion a bit too big?"

Tan Hua wasn’t in a rush to go inside. ’After all,’ she thought, ’my master bedroom isn’t going anywhere.’

The thought of eighty-two bedrooms made Tan Hua’s head spin.

’Good thing we don’t have kids yet,’ she mused. ’Playing hide-and-seek in here would take half the day.’

Qi Sheng smiled, leaning down to whisper in Tan Hua’s ear, "Our family is getting pretty big. Don’t we need a bigger mansion?"

"So, you’re planning to fill all eighty-two rooms?"

Tan Hua rolled her eyes at him in mock annoyance.

’If they really filled this place up,’ she thought, ’the headache would kill me.’

"Ahem, well, not all of them."

Qi Sheng rubbed his nose. ’To be honest, the thought had crossed my mind.’

As the premiere mansion of the complex,

the developer had naturally spared no expense on the renovations.

The core construction and fixtures, at least, were exceptionally luxurious.

Its thoroughly European style made it look exactly like a castle out of a British period drama.

Its exquisite splendor was comparable to that of a palace.

All it needed were some furnishings and a light cleaning, and it would be ready for move-in.

Otherwise, Fort Saint Louis could never have commanded a price of 380 million.

The mansion was designed with two main floors plus an attic.
