Chapter 222: Back to the Castle

This time back to the castle, William was eager to transport the treasure he found in New York home, thinking of such a large amount of wealth, William's heart was excited.

Although all his current net worth has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, no amount of money and stocks in the bank can compare to the shock of gold and jewelry in front of you.

The only thing that made William unhappy was that he hadn't figured out where to hide the treasure, it was not safe to put it in his basement, the value of the treasure was too great, William was worried that the old and beautiful people would not be willing to lose such a large amount of wealth, if he suddenly came to authorize the search of the castle, he would be arrested and seized.

When I returned to Oxford Castle, I saw my mother walking out as soon as I got out of the car, and when I saw William Lina, she was first happy, and then she snorted at William, and walked out of the castle by herself.

scolded William bastard in his heart, this bastard kid has been out for a few months, and he hasn't been with her for a few days since he started, and he doesn't mind that it must be fake, after all, she is William's child.

However, since she knew that William could inherit the title, Lena felt like she was living all over again, happily staying in the castle and taking care of everything in the castle, planting flowers and raising horses by the way.

William followed his mother to make amends for a long time, and at lunch, he set plates, poured wine, and served dishes for his mother, which made Lena happy.

After lunch, Lena, who forgave William, did not let William go to his lunch break, but pulled William with a smile on her face and said that she would take him to see an Arabian horse that she had bought back a few days ago.

Seeing that his mother was so happy, William did not discourage Lena, and the two strolled to the stable, on the way Lena talked to William from time to time about how beautiful the newly bought thoroughbred Arabian horse was, and how vigorous it was when it hurdled.

Talking and laughing, William walked out of the grove and looked at the stable in front of him, which had suddenly changed greatly, and looked at his mother with some joy.

Seeing her son's surprised look, Lena said with a smile: "You have been away from home for so long, I can only find a hobby by myself, and you give me so much money, I don't know how to spend it, I thought about it and bought a horse, and expanded the stable several times, and now there are twelve stables in front of me, which can raise more than 20 horses,

The other three sides were kept for spare, and if there were more descendants of the horses, they could be enlarged, and I built a racetrack behind the stables.

Speaking of this, my mother was happy, did she know how much a small farm of more than 300 acres next to us was? haha, it cost less than £800,000 to buy it."

"800,000 pounds?" William was surprised by this price, and asked happily: "It's so cheap, doesn't that mean that the land around here has fallen by more than half now?"

Lena smiled and said: "That's right, son, don't you know, many farmers around us are about to go bankrupt, as long as they buy it with cash, the farmers in the neighborhood will definitely be willing to sell their farms and live in other places, William, didn't you say that you want to buy all the land nearby? I think now is a good opportunity."

William has always had the idea of buying land, and after thinking about it, the price is already very low, although it will fall if he waits, but the decline is not large, and taking advantage of the bearish market, most farmers are struggling to support him to buy in large quantities, this kind of opportunity is not always available.

"Well, Mom, I'll tell the Swiss bank to take care of this, and it's better to buy all the land around here."

Lena said in surprise: "No, buy them all, there are 3,000 acres around our castle, if you add tens of thousands of acres near the small river opposite, will it be too big, this is a farm, not a pasture, how many people do we have to hire to work at that time, and the city of Oxford will not necessarily agree to this deal."

Thinking about the general situation of the land near the castle, William thought silently in his heart, and said with a sigh: "Okay, tens of thousands of acres seem to be too big, so you can buy as much as you want!"

But I'm sure I'll buy the 3,000 acres around the castle, and I want to make it the private domain of our Devon Hill family, for the sake of our security and privacy."

The son cared about her safety, which made Lena very happy, and said happily: "It's just that the 3,000 acres of the castle must be fine, if you want to buy it, you can sign the contract tomorrow, the owner of the farm invested in the stock market and lost a lot of money, he also came to me a few days ago, asked when you will come back, looking at his appearance, he seems to be in urgent need of a sum of money to pay back to the bank, maybe 5 million pounds can be bought."

"So cheap? I remember Anthony and I said some time ago that it would be like £10 million or £8 million."

"Of course, don't look at this attachment except for you, who else will buy land here, I don't have the strength to buy it now, and the powerful ones can't look down on the country of Oxford, hmph, that guy wanted to raise the price last month, baby, we will bid 5 million pounds, love to sell or not, now he is begging us."

William calculated in his heart, 5 million to buy 3,000 acres, that doesn't mean that an acre is less than 1,700 pounds, God, this is really cheap, there is no problem with increasing several times in ten years.

Thinking of this, William nodded without hesitation, buy, definitely buy, buy as much as he could, and remembered Margaret Mitchell's famous book "Gone with the Wind", in which the father of the heroine Scarlett overlooked the twilight Tara Manor and told Scarlett a classic quote.

"The land is the only thing in the world that is worth working for, fighting for, and dying for, because it is the only eternal thing".

The wealth in the stock market is virtual, the money in hand is real, and land is the real thing, it is the most valuable wealth, and at the same time it is the source of wealth creation, and in England land is a permanent ownership.

The more land you own, the more rights you have, it affects votes, affects public environmental resources, and is more important to the livelihood of countless people.

Thinking of this, William immediately made a decision, he could buy as much as he could, even if the price was higher than the price at this time, he could accept it, "I will call Anthony and ask their law firm to cooperate with the Swiss National Bank to deal with the land, and my mother will take me to see your newly bought pet."

"Well, if we buy these 3,000 acres of land, we will be worthy of the ancestors of the Devon Hill family, this land was our family before your maternal great-grandfather, William, mother is proud of you, you are the best."

Lena happily said to William, and pulled him down and patted him on the head, "God, William, you are so tall now, Mom didn't expect you to grow up so quickly, hey, you are still cute when you were a child, let's go, I'll take you to see the Arabian horse."

William looked at his mother inexplicably and went crazy, did this provoke her? Seeing his mother leave him alone, he shook his head and followed into the stable, not to mention that the new stable was not at the same level as the previous one, and he didn't go long to see an all-black Arabian horse, William was amazed by the horse at first sight, it was so beautiful.
