"Pick me, sir, I can do a lot of things, and I eat little. ”

"I'll eat more, but I'll eat more. ”

"Master, you still choose me! I am the most faithful!"

These elves were extremely enthusiastic, and Zhang Hao was so dizzy from the noise that he could only choose ten of them at random.

The elves who were not selected were very disappointed, as if they had taken a godsend.

Zhang Hao said to Bob: "I'll pay you a deposit first, and then let them go when I buy the castle." ”

"Of course, sir. Bob flattered, "As long as you determine the address, we will send them to you as quickly as possible." ”

Zhang Hao nodded, explained a few more words casually, and then turned around and left with Zhang Qiu.

After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Zhang Hao immediately used resources to find castles for sale in the United Kingdom.

There are only two days left for the Christmas holiday, and buying a castle requires a certain amount of formality.

This process can take more than ten days to several months, and it is okay to do it in two days, but it costs a lot of money.

For Zhang Hao, worldly money is not distressed to spend.

What's the point of spending a little more if you can save time?

In the afternoon of the same day, a thick paper report was sent to Zhang Hao.

He took a closer look, and there were currently hundreds of castles for sale in the UK.

These forts range from tens of thousands of square feet to hundreds of thousands of square feet.

Prices also range from cheap ones to hundreds of thousands of pounds, and expensive ones sell for hundreds of millions of pounds.

With Zhang Hao's current financial resources, it seems that it is no problem to buy any of them.

He chose among hundreds of castles without pressure, and Zhang Qiu was also on the side.

"Oh, cousin, what do you think of this castle?"

"This one is also very good, the garden is so beautiful!"

"Look here, the statue of this castle is nice and the decoration is gorgeous. Why don't you buy it?"

"Well, there are ghosts in this castle, maybe the price will be lower. ”

......

Zhang Hao was troubled by Zhang Qiu's quarrel, and in order to avoid harm, he casually picked a similar price.

"That's it!" he said, pulling out a photograph and comparing it with the information, "Collinsville Castle, located in Staffordshire, covers an area of 80,000 square meters. ”

Zhang Qiu picked up the information and looked at it, and said happily: "Okay! This castle is really good, but the price is a little more expensive! It costs five million pounds!"

Five million pounds, equivalent to more than 43 million RMB.

If you're in a hurry to check in, the price may be higher.

It's a little more expensive, but it's not unacceptable.

Zhang Hao immediately contacted the seller of the castle, and they agreed to meet at the castle the next morning.

It's nearly 200 kilometres from London to Stafford and you have to take a train or a car, and you'll have to come back in two days.

Zhang Hao thought about it for a while and decided to drive to Stafford Town.

He thought to himself that after buying the castle, maybe he should go to the Ministry of Magic to connect to the Floo network.

That's another expense!

Since we have agreed to meet tomorrow morning, we must leave as early as possible this evening.

"Cousin, why don't you take me with you!" Zhang Qiu whispered, "Maybe I can help you bargain?"

"Just you?" Zhang Hao said suspiciously: "When you see a stranger, you become a quail, and you will bargain?"

Zhang Qiu was furious, got up and chased Zhang Hao and beat him wildly!

......

The next day, Zhang Hao met with Mr. Smith Charlie, the sales agent of Collinsville Castle.

Collinsville Castle currently belongs to a British real estate company, of which Smith Charlie is a manager.

As a professional manager, Smith Charlie certainly does some research on his clients before doing business.

He already knew who he was going to talk business with in advance, and he also knew Zhang Hao's general information.

After seeing Zhang Hao, he was still shocked.

"Oh my God! Dear Mr. Zhang, I can't believe that there is such a genius as you in this world!

Not only Charlie, but also the entourage behind him issued the same admiration.

This world is so realistic, when a person is down, few people are willing to look at him more.

But when a person reaches the top, he may hear words of praise everywhere.

"I'm glad to meet you, too, Mr. Charlie. Zhang Hao smiled reservedly: "In order not to delay each other's time, let's hurry up and get to the point!"

"Great!" Charlie said happily, "I like to talk to people like you! ”

"Please say!" Zhang Hao nodded.

Charlie opened a document and read it along: "Whoever acquires ownership of the castle must be responsible for the restoration of his castle. If the purchaser of the castle refuses to repair the castle or maliciously destroys the castle, the British government will have the right to reclaim ownership of the castle...... Once ownership of the castle is reclaimed, the purchaser will be permanently disqualified from purchasing the castle. Mr. Zhang, do you have any questions1?

There are many things to consider when buying a castle, and this is also the rule of the castle trading industry in various countries.

After all, castles are also antiques, and they are also considered tangible cultural heritage to the world.

Zhang Hao understood all of this, and did not think that the castle would be destroyed at his hands.

With elves to take care of, the restoration of the castle may not be difficult.

This can be seen from the current state of Hogwarts.

Hogwarts was bigger and suffered more damage than Collinsville.

"Mr. Charlie, none of this is a problem. Zhang Hao smiled and asked, "I just want to know, when can I live in the castle?"

"Well, Mr. Zhang, you're a little too urgent. Charlie spread his hands and said, "It will take at least fifteen days to complete all the formalities." ”

"I hope I can live in this castle tomorrow, how much money will it cost?" Zhang Hao said arrogantly: "I know you must have a way, so please don't make excuses to prevaricate." ”

"Okay! I can try it for you. Charlie spread his hands and said helplessly: "I need to discuss with the boss, maybe you can move in before tomorrow night." ”

"Then as soon as possible, I'll be waiting for you in the castle. Zhang Hao said casually: "I think, I can go inside to visit, right?"

"Oh! of course!" Charlie hurriedly said, "This is your right as a buyer, please feel free." ”

The castle was staffed with English court stewards, as well as gardeners, cleaning staff, and security personnel.

In short, although the castle is old, it is not unpopular.

Zhang Hao, accompanied by the housekeeper, visited the castle inside and out.

The castle has beautiful gardens and hoops, as well as five converted towers.

The castle has more than 60 suites, large carved fireplaces, period furniture, and rustic oak floors......

Elegance is everywhere, and each room feels like you've stepped back in time to the Middle Ages.

The real estate company seems to have remodeled the castle to a certain extent, and in addition to the elegant suites, the castle also has a horse farm, billiard room, indoor games room, workshop, gym, library, orangery, dungeon......

A modern water and electricity system has also been installed, and the living facilities are no worse than those of high-end villas.

The longer he stayed in the castle, the more Zhang Hao liked it.

Just imagine life in a castle for a moment, and a sense of superiority arises!

"What kind of villa in the north, can you live comfortably in my ancient castle?"
