Chapter 197 [Buying a Castle in Germany]
Although Gonzalez's temper is a little odd, Yang Yong has finally completed half of his mission to Europe, and he is in a good mood. After leaving Master Gonzalez's residence www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, Yang Yong was in a very relaxed mood, and his smile never disappeared from his face.
Switzerland was originally a holiday destination, and now that more than half of its mission has been accomplished, it's time to relax. So Yang Yong took Smith to take a good tour of the beautiful scenery of Lausanne, Switzerland, and two days later, Yang Yong boarded the plane and flew directly to Munich, Germany.
After getting off the plane in Munich, I took a taxi to a small town called Vera on the outskirts of Munich. The town is small and has a population of only 3,200 people, so why did Yang Yong fly all the way from Switzerland to this town?
It was because Yang Yong went to the other half of Europe on a mission to come for a building in this town.
The full name of Anna mentioned last time is Anna, Feng, Matthews, and you know that Anna is a little princess from a noble background. When they were in love before, Anna told Yang Yong about her family background, and the Matthews family had lived in a small town called Vera outside Munich for generations.
100 years ago, during the Second German Empire, the Matthews family was a top wealthy Junker aristocrat in the small town of Vera.
The family has more than ten acres of land, and there is a small castle for more than 100 years, and the life is stable and prosperous.
However, with the end of the First World War, the Second German Reich collapsed and the Kingdom of Bavaria disappeared into history.
The country was gone, the king was expelled, and the Junker aristocracy lost its patronage and fell apart overnight. The entire Matthews family was ransacked by the mob, and the Matthews family began to fall from then on.
Fortunately, Anna's great-grandfather was a visionary leader who brought the entire Matthews family across the ocean to the United States and settled in New York.
But all the members of the Matthews family are nostalgic for their hometown, especially the family castle in the small town of Vera has always been an eternal pain for the Matthews family.
Each generation of the Matthews family has restored the glory of their ancestors and made it their responsibility to reclaim their ancestral property, and as the times have changed, the land has become more and more valuable, and the hope has become more and more slim.
Although the Matthews family mobilized all the social elites, none of these people became millionaires, there was no money, and no matter how high your social status was, it was impossible for others to donate their ancestral assets to you.
Therefore, the Matthews family has not fulfilled the family's ideal, that is, to buy back the castle and manor inherited by the Matthews family and become the eternal ancestral property of the Matthews family.
And Anna's father, Hans Matthews, as the contemporary patriarch of the Matthews family, is even more haunted by the inheritance of his ancestors.
But the reality is so cruel, you can't take back your family's ancestral heirloom without money, Yang Yong's purpose in coming to Vera Town is to recover the Matthews family's manor and Matthews Castle.
Yang Yong wants to take the castle and manor of the Matthews family, take Anna back to the Matthews family, and propose to Anna with the castle and manor as a wedding proposal.
Yang Yong asked the entire core members of the Matthews family to pay for their own mistakes, and see what kind of man Anna was looking for, whether it was a man worth entrusting for life.
Yang Yong wants to gain the respect of the entire family for his wife Anna, so that Anna will raise his eyebrows, and Yang Yong will not hesitate to spend more money.
Half of the reason why I went to Europe this time was because I gave the diamonds in my hands into diamond jewelry and jewelry to my two closest women, my mother and wife, and the other reason was to buy Matthews Manor and Castle to propose to Anna.
It was only fitting that the diamond jewelry should be handed over to Master Gonzalez, and after twenty days, he would have received all the finished jewelry.
What is needed for diamond jewelry is a matter of time, and Yang Yong came to Munich, Germany, to go to the small town of Vera, to complete his other purpose, to buy the Mathews family's manor and castle.
With a population of no more than 4,000, Vila is a quiet suburban town that is now in full bloom in the summer, full of tree-lined farmland and pastures.
There are cattle and sheep grazing on the pasture, and the buildings of the ancient town are very retro, it can be said that each building is more than 100 years old, very simple and atmospheric, and it is about to catch up with the museum of a building.
In order to understand the past of the small town of Vera, in this life, Yang Yong can spend five hundred euros to hire a college student in the small town of Vera. Educate yourself on the history of the small town of Villa, focusing on the past of the Matthews family, which was founded in 1460.
After three wars, nothing has changed so far, and the town's residents have been farming for generations, living a self-sufficient and happy life, with little contact with the outside world.
The Matthews family rose in 1762 and slowly rose by breeding war horses. In addition, during the German Unification War, the contemporary patriarch of the Matthews family had the foresight to fully support Wilhelm the Great of Prussia, and after the Unification War, he was promoted to the Junker aristocratic group.
They were also barons and nobles with titles and fiefs, but since the establishment of the Second German Reich, wars have been going on throughout the Reich.
The Matthews family made a profit from breeding war horses, and their assets skyrocketed, but having money also brought bad results, causing the male members of the Matthews family to be extravagant and unrestrained.
Gradually, the savings and potential of the entire family were squandered, and the entire Matthews family gradually came to an end.
When Yang Yong appeared at Matthews Castle in the midst of a forest on the east side of the town of Vera, he was extremely excited.
Because the Manor and Castle of the Matthews family are well preserved and now belong to a Russian merchant named Victor, the Castle of Matthews is still maintained in its original appearance more than 100 years ago, which is very simple and beautiful.
Since it is a private territory, it is not allowed to trespass, but the college student who is the tour guide is a local, leading Yang Yong up the mountain from the side, sitting on a protruding rock halfway up the mountain, and taking in an unobstructed view of the entire Matthews family estate.
The Matthews Manor is a small one-acre castle with three floors, all of which is made of stone.
But it is very distinctive, the whole castle is surrounded by creepers, it is so beautiful, but the well-preserved Matthews Manor of the castle has been abandoned for a long time.
It is overgrown with weeds, and the owner of the manor, Viktor, a Russian businessman, bought this castle for the purpose of appreciation, not for living, can it not be deserted.
Two years ago, Victor had already put the castle estate up for sale on the Internet, but the price was too high to 6 million euros and has not been bought.
So it has been abandoned until now, but it is understandable that there are more than 50,000 castles in the whole of Germany.
And there will be no less than 5,000 castles and estates for sale, and the castle of the Matthews family has no character, is not very old, and has little cultural value.
It's strange to sell it at a price of 6 million euros, although Yang Yong has money, it is impossible for this Russian businessman to treat himself as a big wronged person, it seems that taking Matthews Castle has to be considered in the long run. (To be continued.) )
