After breakfast the next day, after the court went to work, Charlie took Wang Bo to receive the inheritance.
The process was very simple, the court prepared a lawyer for Wang Bo, a blonde and blue-eyed Germanic gentleman, about forty years old, in a suit and leather shoes, with a solemn face, meticulous blonde hair, and the temperament of a human elite.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, my name is CarrΓ© von MΓΌller, I work for Skadden Law Firm, and I will assist you in signing for the inheritance this time, and the fee is 850 yuan per hour, which will be paid by the New Zealand government, do you have any objection?" When the Germanic gentleman saw Wang Bo, he extended his hand in a friendly manner.
Wang Bo shook his head, he didn't need to pay, so what objection did he have?
He thought that receiving the inheritance would be a very cumbersome matter, but in fact, as far as he was concerned, everything was very simple, lawyer Mueller helped him verify the legitimacy of the suicide note and various inheritances, and then there was no problem, first the lawyer signed, and the rest he signed.
Charlie told him that if there was a problem with the legality of these property certificates in the future, Mueller would be held accountable first, so regardless of the high income of foreign lawyers, their responsibilities are also heavy.
Sir Roberts left a small inheritance, mainly the land certificate and the castle title deed, after Wang Bo signed, the judge presiding over the settlement of the estate of the court signed on behalf of the state, and the 1,000 square kilometers of land and the majestic castle belonged to him.
It took less than half an hour to hand over the inheritance, and the next step was to handle the construction of the territory and town, which was more troublesome.
First of all, he has to change his nationality, this Charlie is in charge, and it will be none of his business after he takes his information away.
He then had to submit an application for the establishment of a town, which was discussed and approved by the Otago Regional Council and the New Zealand Parliament, and would only approve it when they both felt that it was necessary to build a town there.
If you want to build a town, you have to have a town name, Charlie asked him to think of one, Wang Bo's bad taste came, and said: "How about calling it Dawang Town?" Or Xiaowang Town? Wangjiazhen? β
Charlie said to him, "No, king, you better be careful. New Zealand's small towns are to be profitable, either by agriculture or tourism, if you still want to develop small town tourism to make money, it is best to have elegant and dreamy names, such as Queenstown, Arrowtown, Emerald Town, etc. β
In this way, Wang Bo had a little headache, he thought for a while and still couldn't think of a suitable one, and Mueller, who was helping him with his staff next to him, reminded: "It's not so complicated, young man, think back to your territory, which point moves you the most, then you will name it after it." β
Wang Bo closed his eyes and recalled, his first impression of the territory was that beautiful and mild evening, the sun was setting, the sky was full of red clouds, the wind was blowing in the sky, and the green grass on the ground was shaking......
"Sunset Town! What do you think? He looked at Charlie and said, the name corresponds to the sunset.
Charlie applauded and laughed: "That's a good name, Sunset Town, there is no such town name in New Zealand, it should be used." β
After naming the town, the rest of the matter has little to do with Wang Bo, mainly Mueller and Charlie help to deal with it, he just needs to sign.
The rest is to approve the application, and the information will be sent to Wellington and then returned, which cannot be solved in a day or two.
Charlie meant that they stayed in Omarama and waited, but Wang Bo couldn't wait to see his castle after getting a series of keys, and insisted on returning to live in the castle.
Charlie had no choice but to agree, and the two bought some food, bedding, toothbrushes, toothpaste, facial cleansers and other daily necessities in the small town, and then flew back to Sunset by helicopter - or rather, Sunset Town!
This return trip is still in the afternoon, but Lao Wang is not in the mood to look at the scenery outside, he is distressed about the money spent today.
Charlie said that the money for buying daily necessities cannot be reimbursed, he can only pay out of his own pocket, the price of biological materials in New Zealand is not high, but he spends New Zealand coins here, and more than four points a pair of yuan! For example, the set of futon he bought was 440 New Zealand dollars, which did not seem expensive, and could be converted into RMB, which was 2,200 yuan!
Wang Bo calculated, this time he bought more than 5,000 yuan of living supplies, and he brought 20,000 yuan when he went abroad this time.
The helicopter landed near the castle, and the pilot said to Charlie and flew away, leaving the two at the foot of the mountain.
The castle was on the mountainside, at least 400 meters above the ground, and the two of them began to climb with their bags on their backs and boxes in tow.
On the way, Charlie told Wang Bo that the castle was built in 1860, and it has been a century and a half, making it the oldest castle in New Zealand and one of the oldest buildings in New Zealand.
In reality, Wang Bo has not seen the ancient castle with his own eyes, he is full of interest in this kind of architecture, especially this castle still belongs to him, so he is even more interested, and when he climbs the mountain, he unconsciously spends speed, Charlie can't keep up with his pace, and walks behind panting.
Wang Bo was a little anxious and said, "Charlie, hurry up." β
Charlie was about to cry: "Wang, my good friend, not everyone is as good as you are in physical fitness. To be honest, I read the information before, and it says you're a programmer, but I don't think that's true, you must be a rugby player, and you're an ace, right? β
No wonder Charlie thinks so, the trail is actually quite rough and untidy, the road is overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and walking on it is not much different from climbing a mountain. But the lord's heart provided him with a steady stream of motivation, and subtly improved the function of his organs, strengthened his musculature, and climbed the mountain was not a matter for him.
The Southern Alps are New Zealand's tallest mountain range, running through the central and western parts of the South Island, with the highest Cook Peak at 3,764 metres above sea level and a total length of 320 kilometres. It just so happens that the castle is built on the mountainside of the starting peak of this mountain range, at an altitude of more than 400 meters.
Climbing to a height of 400 meters, Charlie felt like he had lost half his life, and when he finally reached the castle, he sat on the wild grass and gasped for breath regardless of his demeanor.
Wang Bo also gasped, but he was trying to avoid making Charlie see the abnormality, in fact, he felt that he still had physical strength!
Standing in front of the castle, Wang Bo looked up at this castle of his own, when he looked at it from a distance, the castle made of stone was majestic and grandiose, and when he looked closely, he found that the castle was very old, very dilapidated, full of desolation and dilapidation.
The city wall made of huge stones is more than ten or twenty meters high, there are weeds growing in the stone crevices, and the vines such as vines and creepers are crawling on the wall, and the outer wall is rough, as if the skin of the old peasant is exposed to the wind and sun, and there are many holes in the stone wall, just like old age spots on the skin.
Seeing that Wang Bo was interested in the castle, Charlie, who was resting, introduced him: "How is it, man, is it shocked?" I have seen the architectural information of the castle, and it is said that in order to build this castle, the Roberts family used 500 tons of cement, 2,000 cubic meters of lime, and 150,000 bricks. β
"If you know how backward technology was back then, then you can understand how difficult it was to build it, and this is on the mountainside! At that time, it was necessary to transport all kinds of materials by means of steam cranes, and then to transfer them to the intermediate stations in a vehicle with a body that could tilt the loads diagonally, and finally to their current location with precisely calculated pulley sets. How's that, isn't it amazing? β
After listening to Charlie's introduction, Wang Bo was indeed shocked, and he asked, "How much did it cost to build this castle?" At that time, New Zealand was short of manpower, right? How did the Roberts hire manpower? β
"The Roberts had just fled England and were still very strong, but it was almost all there to build the castle," says Charlie. β
"Truth be told, they miscalculated, they thought New Zealand would be the second Europa continent, where the nobles could fight for territory. The Roberts family painstakingly built this castle on the mountainside in order to use it as a base to rule the South Island, but now it seems that this idea is stupid! Charlie laughed sarcastically.
