Chapter 172 [Negotiation]
There are more than 30 rooms of all sizes, and each room has been visited, visiting the first floor of the basement and the second floor of the basement, and each room is decorated with unique characteristics.
The furniture is also in the European royal style, Yang Nianzhong specially asked the owner of the castle, Sarah, whether these furniture furnishings are sold together with the property, and got an accurate answer.
In other words, this manor is packaged and sold as a whole, if Yang Nianzhong buys this manor and Neuschwanstein Castle, he can hire someone to clean the entire castle up and down and repair the places that should be repaired, and rest assured that the renovated places should be refurbished, and then take the whole family to move in with their own clothes.
In this way, Yang Nianzhong will save a lot of trouble, after all, if more than 30 rooms in Swan Castle are re-purchased and furnished, how much energy and how much money will be invested to complete it.
Don't look at the furniture in the castle, it has a history of more than 100 years, it looks old, but in fact, this kind of furniture is a really good thing, and any one can be regarded as antique furniture more or less.
During this period, Yang Nianzhong also raised his curiosity like Sarah, the owner of the castle, why there was a smaller version of Swan Castle on Long Island, New York. Who is the owner of this Swan Castle? Why did he spend a huge amount of money to build such a unique castle to live in?
There's also a little love story in it, where the owner of the castle, Sarah, is the third generation heir to the estate, and the first heir, Sarah's grandfather, built this Charlotte Valley and built Swan Castle. His grandfather was a German immigrant and a nobleman, and his hometown was at the foot of Swan Castle, which he grew up watching.
Because of the war, I took my whole family to settle in the United States and settled on Long Island, New York, and it took a long time to find the good place of Charlotte Valley.
The place was found, but Sarah's grandfather did not see Swan Castle, but wanted to settle here and live a good life with the family, but he didn't expect to meet a maid of Mexican origin.
The maid and the young master actually had a love affair, which was not optimistic at the time, and it was a pair that was ridiculed by others. But I didn't expect Sarah's grandfather to be a lover, and for the sake of his beloved woman, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a Neuschwanstein Castle in the valley, which took more than 25 years to build.
It took 25 years to build the castle alone, and it must have been a huge investment, and after the castle was built, Sarah's grandfather lived in Swan Castle with his wife, Sarah's grandmother. Unfortunately, in the second year after the construction of Swan Castle, the two of them went out to play while driving, and both died in an accident, when Sarah's father was just eight years old.
The eight-year-old boy inherited the family business, but at that time, due to the rise of World War II, there was no longer any nobility in Germany, so the title of nobility could not be inherited. But the family has a rich family and lives a very happy life, Sarah's father died in the hospital last year, and all the inheritance is inherited by Sarah, the female heir.
It stands to reason that this castle was built by Sarah's grandfather, which is the ancestral property of their family, and the family has lived in this castle for three generations, so why should he sell it. Because Sarah was married, and her husband had to sell the castle to pay off his debts because of the failed investment, and the price was particularly high, $120 million.
Truth be told, the climate of Charlotte Valley is very good, and it has a hundred acres of mountainous land, all of which are the private property of the castle. Barbed wire, the average tourist can't see the scene inside the valley from the mountains on both sides, so no one knows that there is a miniature version of Swan Castle on Long Island, New York.
However, the castle covers an area of only 250 acres, and it is located in the Charlotte Valley, and the climate is very mild, with no severe cold in summer and no heat in winter, and abundant rainfall.
But the very quiet young man can't stand such loneliness, so he hasn't sold it yet, but Sarah, the owner of the castle, must sell the castle and exchange it for money to save the company owned by her husband.
If she didn't pay back the money, she sued her husband in court, and she had no choice but to sell her ancestral property. The furniture inside is also very luxurious with antique furniture from hundreds of years ago, the ranch farms in the valley are well kept, and there is a large area, and the wine estate produces more than 1,000 bottles of wine every year.
The castle is also unique, and it stands to reason that it should not be difficult to sell it yet, and it has not been sold so far, because the asking price of the salad is too high. It reaches 120 million US dollars, which is a dollar instead of a Russian ruble, and whoever has so much money can choose another place with a good climate, and he will not need to build a Swan Castle by himself.
As for such a big price to buy you this Charlotte Valley? Buy you this Sandton Manor? It took an hour and a half to go around the castle. After the pass, the two sides went to the king's hall, sat on the sofa and drank tea and chatted, and the content of the conversation was to discuss the price of the castle.
Yang Nianzhong likes this castle very much, and his girlfriend Anne will definitely go crazy if she sees this miniature version of Neuschwanstein Castle. Even if it is a castle with a very remote location, Anne will feel very happy for the rest of her life, but his asking price is too high, and we will give as much as the owner of the castle wants.
But no matter how Yang Nianzhong or Griffin negotiated with the other party, the salad was bitten to $120 million and not sold. In other words, without $120 million, you don't want to buy this manor, let alone buy this castle, which is more than $40 million different from Yang Jianzhong's psychological price.
This is 40 million, so the two sides negotiated for more than three hours without negotiating the price, this time the time has come, at noon the two sides patronized the negotiation until now has not eaten lunch, hungry gurgling.
The hostess of Salad, although she is a little stubborn, is a good person, and quickly ordered the kitchen to cook, and invited Yang Nianzhong, a buyer who is very interested in the castle, to dine in the castle.
In fact, her intention is very simple, chatting and negotiating while eating, after all, she is in a hurry to use the money, and now there are not many people who can come up with $120 million in cash to buy this castle, and finally meet an interested one, can you easily let it go.
However, the difference in the price negotiated between the two sides is $40 million, which cannot be negotiated, but if the castle cannot raise $120 million, there is no way to save Sarah's husband from the quagmire.
So the two sides fell into a dead end, no matter how they talked, they couldn't get along, and seeing that the deal was about to fall through, Sarah had to use her killer move. What's the killer feature? The hostess of Salad took Yang Nianzhong, the buyer, to visit the interior of Swan Castle.
This is on the edge of Swan Castle, and there is a cave of considerable size, from which you can go down to the other side of the valley. On the other side is New York's Long Island Sound, a two-kilometre stretch of white sand beach that belongs to Swan Castle.
There is actually a small dock docked on the beach, a medium-sized yacht, because there is a two-kilometer private white sand beach in New York, which is very rare, so the salad is not going to be sold with the castle, but at this time you can't do it.
