Chapter 244: Under the Manor
Zheng Yan's words are obviously ambiguous, and thinking about today's paragliding experience, Miyuki Aso couldn't help but blush. On the contrary, it is Wang Zhen, whose psychological quality is much better.
"The place is nice, but not inhabitable, too big and lifeless. ”
In Wang Zhen's past life, whether it was the courtyard in the capital or the later life in the army, at least he was full of popularity. And this castle, although the environment is good, does not meet his living standards. It's like the Forbidden City in the capital, it's big enough and luxurious enough that many people want to see it, but I'm afraid no one wants to live in it.
"Lisa, what do you think?"
"I also feel a little bigger. ”
Although Lisa said so, how could the love in her eyes be hidden from Zheng Yan.
The story of the prince and princess in the castle attracts every Western girl, although Lisa knows that she is not a princess, and Zheng Yan is not a prince, but at least the castle is real, if the two can live in the castle, Lisa feels romantic when she thinks about it.
"Mr. Wharton, can you show us around the collection room here?"
According to the information provided by Nick, there are three collection rooms in this ancient castle, and although Zheng Yan did not expect to find any valuable cultural relics, it must not be empty with the urine nature of Westerners. As for the original Japanese owner of the castle, he has not lived in it at all since he bought it, so there must be something still there.
"Of course, no problem, please come with me. ”
Under the leadership of Morry Wharton, several people came to the side building of the ancient castle, Morry Wharton opened a heavy iron gate, and Zheng Yan and his party walked in.
"This is the collection room of the castle, which is divided into three parts. Although there are still some cultural relics in it, they are not very valuable, and those with high value were taken away by the original owner before the castle was sold. Because of this, after the manor was bought by the Japanese, the contents of the manor were not touched, so you can take a look at it. ”
Originally, Zheng Yan thought that there were three collection rooms, but it turned out that a collection room was divided into three parts, with a total of about 1,000 square meters, but Zheng Yan didn't have a hobby of collecting, and he didn't care about it, he just wanted to see if he could pick up the leaks.
Like Morry Wharton said, nothing. There are shelves around it, and there are some things scattered on the shelves, most of which are sculptures, and a few oil paintings, Zheng Yan is not interested at all.
Zheng Yan went directly to the second collection room, which finally gave Zheng Yan some comfort, there were hundreds of porcelain produced in China, as well as a few bronzes and some calligraphy and paintings. Although he doesn't know the specific value, Zheng Yan believes that there is a lot of room for promotion in the future. As for some other cultural relics of unknown origin, Zheng Yan didn't even look at them.
As for the third collection room, it is the smallest of the three, only more than 100 square meters, but unfortunately there is nothing in it except for a vacant glass cabinet, presumably the original storage is a fine product.
"Let's go, let's go out, there's really nothing to see here. ”
Although Zheng Yan didn't care, he made up his mind that as long as he bought the ancient castle, he would definitely protect those Chinese cultural relics. Now those things are not worth much, because of the downturn in the international market of Chinese cultural relics, and in the future, those cultural relics may be the most valuable things in this ancient castle.
After coming out of the collection room, Zheng Yan and his entourage came to the last place to visit the castle - the brewing workshop. When Zheng Yan and others came here, all the workers continued to work, and they were not curious because of the arrival of Zheng Yan and others.
"Mr. Zheng, this is the winery of the manor, and as you can see from the name of the manor, this is the most distinctive part of the manor. ”
"Everyone knows that Long Island is rich in red wine, but there are no world-famous red wine brands on Long Island, because most of the red wine produced on Long Island is not sold to the public. Just like our workshop, which has a history of 100 years, I don't know how much red wine has been produced, but most of the red wine produced is for personal use, and the other is to give away, which is almost never on the market. ”
"This is the cellar of the workshop, you can take a look. ”
After walking into the wine cellar, there was a burst of wine aroma, even if Zheng Yan didn't drink much, especially red wine, he still had a desire to taste it at this moment.
"There are tens of thousands of bottles of red wine here, many of which are fine wines that have been stored for decades, and of course, most of them have been produced in the last few years. Although the original owner sold the estate, he liked the red wine very much, so he took a lot of it with him. ”
In addition to the Chinese cultural relics in the collection room, the red wine here is the most satisfying thing for Zheng Yan. In the future, since it is going to develop in the United States, it is natural to integrate into Western society, and Westerners have a special preference for red wine, presumably the red wine reserves here are enough for their own use. The most important thing is that there will be a steady stream of output from the brewery in the future.
"Okay, we're pretty much done, let's go out and talk. ”
Zheng Yan really couldn't find fault with this manor, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Zheng Yan decided to take down the manor today.
"Mr. Wharton, if I buy this estate, does that mean that everything we see will be mine?"
"Yes sir, not just these items, but all the staff, who will still work for you if you want to. Of course, you also have the right to dismiss people, but I still hope that you can keep them, and you can be assured that they are very good employees. ”
Zheng Yan nodded, thinking: Of course people have to stay, otherwise the entire manor will not be paralyzed.
"Mr. Nick, if I decide to buy this estate, when will I be able to move in? I won't be in the U.S. for long, so I'm hoping to settle these things as soon as possible. ”
"Mr. Zheng, you can rest assured that the original owner of the manor has entrusted everything to our company, as long as you have the funds in place, I think that from tomorrow onwards, you will be the new owner of this manor." ”
"Mr. Wharton, I wonder if you would like to continue to work on my estate?"
Fortunately, the staff said that a qualified housekeeper is not easy to find.
"Of course, I have dedicated most of my life to this estate. ”
"Well, Mr. Nick, I hope to have all the formalities done tomorrow, and I think I can have a banquet in my castle tomorrow night. ”
"By the way, Mr. Wharton, please inform all the staff, and in the future, the salary of all the staff here will be increased by 20% on the original basis. ”
Although there are a lot of staff, Zheng Yan is not short of money, so he doesn't mind buying people's hearts.
