077 Hearst Castle 2

Next, the time was spent in the small talk of the three of them, chatting with beautiful women always did not feel the passage of time, and when they reacted, they heard Bob talk about St. Simon, and before they knew it, several hours had passed.

After finding a restaurant, everyone had a lunch together, and drove directly to Hearst Castle, yes, this time it was directly to the castle, and there was no view of the beautiful scenery along the way.

Li Feng thought to himself, let's talk about it when I have the opportunity, the Danish villages that have been famous for later generations are all good.

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, I finally arrived at the parking lot of the passenger terminal under the legendary Hearst Castle, and cars are not allowed on it, so you can only take the tourist bus in the park.

When I got out of the car, I looked up and saw the white hilltop castle building looming in the greenery, and when I looked up from the foot of the mountain, it felt like a church building, with several pointed buildings standing on the top of the hill.

"Boss, I've already bought my tickets. Just as Li Feng looked at the castle complex on the top of the hill with great emotion, Joseph interrupted Li Feng's contemplation.

"Oh, well, let's go. With that, he followed Joseph and took Charlize by the hand and walked towards the bus.

......

It takes nearly 20 minutes to get on the bus provided by the castle managers and follow the winding road to the castle, and then the guide on board begins to tell the history of the castle.

When it comes to William Hirst's sons donating the castle to the California government, it's a different story.

It is said that these children are too wealthy in their families, and Hearst's descendants are immersed in drunkenness, and after the descendants judge the situation and weigh the pros and cons, Hearst's descendants decided to give the castle to the California government for free.

Of course, various rumors about wealthy families have always been one of the favorite gossips of the melon-eating masses, among which some people raised the question of whether the descendants of Hearst were unwilling to pay high inheritance taxes to donate the castle to the government.

Of course, these government guides must have been trained, and it is firmly said that the Hearst family decided to donate on their own.

Well, Li Feng sat in the car, and also made a return to the melon-eating crowd, listening to all kinds of rumors about the donation of Hearst Castle.

The managers of the castle provided 4 itineraries, but Li Feng and others bought them all, anyway, they all prepared a camping plan, and they were ready to visit all the castles, which was the first tourist route.

......

Listening to the nearly 20 people in the car from time to time raising various questions about the ancient castle, Li Feng also became interested.

"Mr. tour guide, may I ask, if someone is ready to buy all the castles now, how much will it cost?"

Well, hearing Li Feng's question, the carload of people quieted down, and after glancing at Li Feng, they all looked at the tour guide, obviously, they were all interested.

"Hello sir, I don't know about this question, after all, in the face of such a mansion, I have never imagined that I can be bought by anyone.

Of course, no one knows if the California government allows the purchase, after all, according to American law, if you have enough money, you can buy the whole of the United States, right?

I can give you a personal opinion, according to the documents donated to the government by the Hearst family, the construction of this ancient fort began in 19 and ended in 47 when Mr. William Hurst died, although most of it was completed, but there are still some places that have not yet been completed.

From 19 to 47 years, a total of 28 years, the construction fund spent more than 10 million, and the purchase of various antiques and works of art 2 or 30 million, that is, after 47 years, it almost cost Mr. William Hurst at least 30 million US dollars.

As for now, you said that the value of this manor villa needs to be calculated by a professional organization, after all, there are thousands of antique works of art in the castle, which are priceless for ordinary people.

Of course, it is priceless, but there is always a value, and according to recent calculations by the state government, the entire estate, including the artwork, will not be less than 300 million US dollars. ”

......

"Oh my god, if Mr. William Hearst knew about the current state of Hearst Manor, would he complain about the children and grandchildren of the Hearst family. ”

"It's unbelievably expensive"

......

Listening to the exclamations one after another, in fact, Li Feng was also taken aback, and exclaimed in his heart, it was indeed a sky-high price.

Although hundreds of millions of dollars will appear on the annual luxury home list from time to time in later generations, it is now 95 years, and it is conceivable that the number one luxury house in the United States is really not boasting.

Of course, compared to everyone's amazement, Li Feng was only slightly surprised, after all, he had also experienced the era of information explosion in later generations.

Didn't the first mansion in later generations be blown up at a cost of $1 billion, which is said to be in Mumbai, India.

Unconsciously, he arrived at the ancient castle, looking at the magnificent ancient castle in front of him, Li Feng couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, if he could have such an ancient castle at any time, it would not be in vain to be reborn.

......

The rest of the trip can only be spent in the amazement of the crowd, and the whole afternoon is immersed in the gorgeous and spectacular scenery of the ancient castle.

The luxurious guest building, it is said that a night in the guest building will cost tens of thousands of dollars, which makes everyone amazed.

Hundreds of acres of back garden with flowers blooming all year round.

In the wide square, sculptures of various styles stand tall and make people linger.

The large and gorgeous indoor and outdoor swimming pools made Li Feng very envious.

The old 20's theater is intoxicated with the early Hollywood history.

In the old library, there are thousands of books of all kinds, many of which are out of print and antiques, which makes people marvel at the shrewd vision of old Hirst.

There is also a stunning Gothic office area, which makes people imagine the power of William Hirst in the United States and the empire of wealth he controlled. It is said that the Hearst family at its peak controlled 1/4 of the American newspapers and media, and it can be said that they controlled the media and entertainment in the United States.

There is also an abandoned safari park, ranch, private airport, and a slightly desolate unfinished manor gate, all of which show the power and influence of William Hurst and his family.

......

As he left Hearst Castle, Li Feng ordered the two cars to turn onto a country road and then drove deeper into the park.

It was opened on the top floor of the ancient castle before, and after looking at the surrounding environment, it was all in the low hilly area, as well as the vast pasture on the side, and a large number of cattle appeared, so Li Feng wanted to go and see it.

Although Joseph proposed that such a ranch should be owned by individuals, under Li Feng's insistence, he still set off towards the goal.

Heading deeper into the state park, as the sky began to darken, they finally stopped at the foot of a small hill where they were ready to camp tonight.

Soon a tent was set up on the top of the mountain, and the camping tent that had been prepared a long time ago was immediately found with some dry branches and lit a fire.

In the process, fortunately, Joseph, who has a lot of experience in wild camping, naturally gathered around the fire, and Maria, Charlize and Halle Berry began to cook.

Well, the preparation is very thorough, and the RV has various catering facilities such as gas barrels, and Li Feng doesn't want to really dig pits and burn stoves in the field.

Camping is just about wanting to go out into the wilderness and relax, not to find guilt. When everyone began to enjoy each meal, it was not yet dark, but it was starting to get a little dark.

......

What Li Feng and the others didn't know was that when they were chatting and eating around the fire, a group of people not far from them found them, and they all came towards Li Feng and the others with guns.
