Lin Yaxuan didn't understand why the other party arranged it this way, but under the nod of Count Herbert and the smile of her husband, she still sat in the position of hostess, and the next scene surprised her even more, because Zhou Liwen sat directly opposite her, that is, the master's seat, when Lin Yaxuan couldn't help but ask what was going on, Count Herbert told her with a smile that the castle had been sold to Zhou Liwen.

Lin Yaxuan was suddenly surprised and delighted, she never thought that Zhou Liwen would buy such an ancient castle. Although, living here these days, she really likes this place very much, and even talked to Zhou Liwen about building a castle according to the architecture here if she has the opportunity in the future. But she never expected that Zhou Liwen would actually buy it.

Of course, on this occasion, it is impossible for Zhou Liwen to tell the real situation. Count Herbert sold the castle out of desperation, and if it weren't for the accident of his insurance company, it would never have been possible to sell it with his affection for the castle. But even so, as a nobleman, Count Herbert still showed his good manners, and raised a glass to congratulate the new owner of the castle. Zhou Liwen and his wife also raised their glasses happily, and then everyone had a sumptuous dinner together, which was not only a handover ceremony for the sale of the castle, but also a congratulatory dinner for Zhou Liwen to buy it.

"Why don't you tell me in advance, I thought the earl was confused." After dinner and some desserts, the two sides said goodbye, and after returning to the bedroom, Lin Yaxuan couldn't help but complain about Zhou Liwen as soon as he closed the door.

Zhou Liwen shook his head with a smile, and then told Lin Yaxuan what happened, and this dinner was also temporarily intended by Count Herbert to thank Zhou Liwen and his wife, even before he attended the dinner, he didn't know that Count Herbert would arrange it like this.

"That's ......." After listening to what happened, Lin Yaxuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zhou Liwen would suddenly buy this ancient castle from Count Herbert. At the same time, she was also satisfied with Zhou Liwen's arrangement, although this is business, but Count Herbert and old Hans have lived in this castle all their lives, if they will move out of this place in the future, maybe in a few years, these two old men will die of depression. And now, Zhou Liwen entrusted the castle to Count Herbert in the form of trusteeship, although Count Herbert lost the ownership of the castle, but in a sense, he can still be regarded as the owner of the castle and can continue to live here. This is nothing for Zhou Liwen and his wife, but it is the best result for the two old men.

"You say, in the future, how about I change the name of the castle?" Zhou Liwen hugged his wife and whispered in her ear.

Of course, Lin Yaxuan understood what Zhou Liwen meant by this, and what Zhou Liwen said in the future would be a hundred years after Count Herbert, and at that time, Zhou Liwen would be able to rename Schiller Castle, even if it was changed to Yaxuan Castle, there would be no problem. However, Lin Yaxuan shook his head after thinking about it and rejected Zhou Liwen's kindness. In her opinion, even if the centuries-old Schiller Castle changes owners, it is still Schiller Castle, and for Lin Yaxuan, it is already a surprise to be able to have it, as for the name of the castle, it is better not to change it.

Due to the purchase of the castle, Zhou Liwen extended the vacation time here. A week later, all the documents were delivered, and Zhou Liwen, as the new owner of the castle, also made a local record, and then remitted the money to the designated account of Count Herbert according to the agreement, and completed all the handover.

From this moment on, Zhou Liwen really owned this ancient castle and became the new owner here. Originally, according to Count Herbert's intentions, he hoped that Zhou Liwen would hold a drinking party in the castle as the new owner, and he could invite his friends to visit the castle and stay for a few more days by the way. However, this suggestion was rejected by Zhou Liwen, not that he didn't want to stimulate Count Herbert in this way, but really didn't have these time, because the vacation time had exceeded their previous arrangement, Zhou Liwen and his wife would not stay here for too much time, and the preparation of the cocktail party, plus inviting relatives and friends, would take time, so it would be better to wait for the opportunity in the future.

Rejecting Count Herbert's offer, Zhou Liwen prepared to leave Germany two days later. The arrangement on the South Korean side is almost complete, he has to go back to the United States to deal with some official business first, and then rush to South Korea to deal with the affairs of the Samsung Group. But just before he left, Count Herbert found Zhou Liwen.

"Let me go to a drinking party?" Zhou Liwen didn't expect that Count Herbert came to invite him to a cocktail party this time, and the address of this reception was in Mannheim, a city south of Frankfurt, not far from Frankfurt.

"Actually, this is just a salon that is more accurate, Mr. Zhou, in order to thank you for your help, I sincerely hope that you can participate." Count Herbert said with a sincere smile.

In the past few days, he has been in much better spirits, perhaps because of the smooth fundraising. Although, after paying such a large amount of insurance money, his insurance company will not continue to operate, which means that the Schiller family will withdraw from the operation of the insurance company and end its business, but in any case, at least the difficulties faced have passed, and although the Schiller family has paid a lot of costs, it has generally solved the problem.

This salon is actually a traditional activity of some Junker aristocratic families, and with the change of the times, there will be some wealthy people with status in this traditional activity, but the whole is basically dominated by noble members.

The Junker aristocracy is very famous in Germany and even in Europe, during the German Empire, the Junker aristocracy almost controlled the lifeblood of the country's economy, and its influence ranged from the emperor to ordinary citizens, and had great influence in all aspects, including the army.

After World War I, the influence of the Junker aristocracy gradually decreased, and by the time of World War II, the Junker aristocracy gradually moved from the front to the backstage, remotely controlling agents to maintain tradition. After the defeat of Germany after World War II, after a period of depression, the Junker aristocracy gradually became active again, but unlike their parents and grandparents, although many of the new generation of Junker aristocrats did not have the dazzling title of nobility on their heads, but only appeared to the world in the form of businessmen, investors or consortia, those who know the inside story know that this group of people is still a group that should not be underestimated.

For Zhou Liwen's help, Earl Herbert is sincerely grateful, and also hopes to do something for Zhou Liwen to express his gratitude. After thinking about it, it may be a better way to invite Zhou Liwen to such a salon and introduce him to some famous European aristocratic families and friends in the business world.

Although, in terms of wealth and business status, Count Herbert was not very good among them, but in terms of the prestige and fame of the aristocratic family, the Schiller family was famous as a former member of the Elector. What's more, Zhou Liwen, as a world-famous billionaire, has a strong influence in the IT industry, and introducing him to his friends is also a win-win good thing.

Originally, Zhou Liwen was going to refuse, but after thinking about it, he still nodded and agreed to Count Herbert's invitation. According to the itinerary, they traveled to Frankfurt the day after tomorrow and then left by private jet. Since the salon is not far from Frankfurt, it is also possible to drop by. What's more, for the German business community, Zhou Liwen has always had a yearning for cooperation, and maybe this time he can gain something.

Seeing that Zhou Liwen nodded in agreement, Count Herbert was very happy, and then asked about tomorrow's itinerary, if Zhou Liwen needed to adjust, he could put it forward. Zhou Liwen didn't care much about this, since Count Herbert had already arranged it, then the guest was the host, Zhou Liwen was a more casual person in terms of personality, and there was not so much trouble.

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhou Liminwen and his wife got into Count Herbert's car, old Hans did not accompany him, but continued to stay in the castle, the driver of the car was a steady middle-aged man, not much to say, but it could be seen that he was a good driver. Germany's motorways are famous, with few roads and fast traffic, and at noon they arrive in Mannheim and come to a Gothic complex.

"It's really beautiful" As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Yaxuan couldn't help but admire when he looked at this complex. Gothic architecture is often used in the construction of churches, and many churches in Europe are built in the Gothic style because of its distinctive spire that looks unusually grand from the outside. Although the complex in front of us is also a Gothic building, it is very different from the common church buildings in many parts, but it still retains some characteristics of Gothic architecture.

"This is the Barak Apartment, built in 192 by the most brilliant designers of the time, and where we live today." Earl Herbert proudly introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Liwen that people of any country would be happy to see the excellent architecture of their homeland, and Earl Herbert was no exception. He took Zhou Liwen and his wife to the building, and told them about the glorious history of the complex on the way.

When they arrived at the place, they were greeted by a uniformed waiter who clearly knew Count Herbert. After Count Herbert introduced the guests he had invited, who were also the guests of the salon, Zhou Liwen and his wife, the waiter greeted Zhou Liwen with a smile, and at the same time told them that the room had been prepared in advance, and then helped carry the luggage and led the three of them into the door.

The Barak Residences are seven storeys high and are divided into two wings, east and west, with a total of 48 luxurious rooms. Zhou Liwen and Count Herbert stayed in two sets of rooms on the third floor of the east wing, and when they entered the room, looking at the elegantly decorated environment, Zhou Liwen nodded with satisfaction, and then took out the tip and handed it to the waiter on the side.
