王健林豪擲7.7億人民幣購買倫敦豪宅

Property tycoon Wang Jianlin, who is worth more than 20billion pounds, has bought a ten-bedroom home on Kensington Palace Gardens, which is on the same super-secure street as Roman Abramovich and Tamara Ecclestone. Wang, who owns Dorset-based Sunseeker Yachts, is now expected to spend tens of millions giving the mansion a makeover.

王健林，房地產大亨，身價約爲200億英鎊，日前在肯辛頓宮附近購買了一套擁有十個臥室的豪宅，肯辛頓宮被認爲是倫敦最安全的地區。王健林的鄰居將包括英格蘭超級聯賽的切爾西足球俱樂部老闆羅曼·阿布拉莫維奇以及名流塔瑪拉·埃克爾斯通。王健林擁有一艘聖汐遊艇，目前預計將花費數千萬用於豪宅裝修。

The property, which was previously the home of the Nigerian High Commissioner, boasts nine bathrooms, grand entertaining rooms and an indoor swimming pool. When the mansion was originally sold in 1856, it cost Kensington gentleman Peter Carthew around 7,000 pounds. Fully refurbished, the mansion is likely to be worth up to 140m pounds, or 7,000 pounds per square foot.

據悉，該豪宅曾被用作尼日利亞駐英國大使館，擁有九個衛生間、大型娛樂室以及室內游泳池。當這棟豪宅在1856年第一次被出售時，彼得·卡修花費了七千英鎊購得。精裝修後，這棟豪宅預估價值爲1億4千萬英鎊，即每英尺7000英鎊。

The staggering deal was revealed by the London Evening Standard. Guiliana La Pera, the buying agency reported to have worked on the deal, declined to comment. But documents from the Land Registry show a lease has been agreed between The Crown Estate, The Queen and Lin Ning, who is Mr Wang's wife. Property consultant Charles McDowell said the mansion was a unique buy.

王健林購房這一消息來自《倫敦旗幟晚報》，交易由英國皇冠房地產公司負責，而該公司拒絕對此事作出迴應。當地地政局資料顯示，簽約的三方是英國皇冠地產、英國女王和王健林的妻子林寧。地產諮詢員查爾斯稱這是一筆特殊的交易。

He said: 'It is not very often a house comes onto the market on Kensington Palace Gardens. This home has palatial dimensions, is very large and has a nice indoor swimming pool. It is a very good home which in a good position on Kensington Palace Gardens but it does need to be modernised. The road is a desirable place to live because it is secure, which is very important, is in a good location and is also a very attractive road. Finding houses like this in London is difficult which makes Kensington Palace Gardens unique.'

他表示：“肯辛頓宮花園的房子不常出售，這棟豪宅面積很大，擁有一個非常好的室內游泳池。這棟豪宅地理位置非常好，整體風格不需要被現代化。這條街非常安全，這一點很重要，位置也很好，景色非常美。在倫敦找到這樣一棟房子非常困難，這也使得肯辛頓宮非常特別。”

The deal will see Wang, who is ranked by Forbes as one of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men, pay a stamp duty bill of 9,513,750 pounds.

作爲全世界最富有的人之一，擠進福布斯排行榜的王健林在此次交易中，需要交付高達951萬3750英鎊的印花稅。
