Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Vol 3 Chapter 1080: The castle belonging to Xia Yu

Faced with this problem, Xia Yu looked at Elena subconsciously, but saw her smile and shook her head, but Xia Yu keenly discovered that while she was shy, she still had so much anticipation.

Xia Yu smiled slightly and said firmly: "Of course the princess must have a castle!"

"I have to go and find out where there are top castles for sale..."

After Elena listened, a happy smile appeared on her face, and a sweet feeling rose in her heart.

Although Xia Yu intends to buy a castle, and he may not be able to buy a castle comparable to Howard Castle, she does not care, and Xia Yu's attitude is what delights her most.

Heidi Campbell, who ate a mouthful of dog food, felt sour at the same time, envy Elena who had found love.

But because they are good friends who have known each other since childhood, she is not jealous, but sincerely blessed her.

She suddenly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, if you plan to buy a castle, it is recommended to buy it in Scotland. Scotland has the largest number of castles in the entire United Kingdom and is generally better preserved."

"Scotland has the reputation of'the country of old castles.' In Scotland, there are more than 1,000 castles recorded in history alone."

"And I remember that after the decline of several families, they sold their castles to our family. I saw a few castles when I was a kid, and they were all pretty good."

"If you are interested, I can ask my dad. I often hear him say that in order to maintain these uninhabited castles and manors, a large amount of expenditure is required every year."

Xia Yu was a little surprised. He looked at Elena and asked softly: "Elena, what do you think?"

"Elena, if you have a castle in Scotland, it will be convenient for us to meet at that time!" Heidi Campbell said expectantly, looking at Elena tightly with beautiful eyes.

Elena smiled and said to Heidi Campbell: "I also look forward to seeing you more!"

After speaking, she looked at Xia Yu and said softly, "Xia Yu, I can buy the castle myself."

Xia Yu scratched the tip of her nose and showed a gentle smile. Without waiting for her to speak, he looked at Heidi Campbell: "Miss Heidi, I have to trouble you to ask your father, which castles do you have for sale? ?"

Heidi Campbell readily replied: "Of course there is no problem, I will ask my dad!"

After speaking, the lively Heidi Campbell got up, lifted the skirt lightly, and walked towards her father in an elegant manner.

"Heidi has been lively and lovely since she was a child, even when she grows up."

Looking at Heidi Campbell's back, Elena smiled sweetly and explained to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu smiled and did not comment.

"Elena, eat some snacks, or you will get hungry easily."

"Ok!"

...

In the next time, Xia Yu and Elena were rarely calm and leisurely. They sat together, and no one would invite any of them to dance.

Heidi Campbell seemed to be confined by his father, and reluctantly followed her father to meet the noble ladies and girls of other families.

When the prom gradually dissipated and the arriving guests began to leave, Heidi Campbell finally found Xia Yu and Elena at a light pace.

She smiled and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, my father invites you over!"

"Okay, Miss Heidi, Elena will ask you."

"Don't worry, I will take care of her."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded in thanks, got up and dressed up, and walked confidently towards the place where Duke Ian Campbell was.

Duke Ian Campbell has also been paying attention to Xia Yu. When he saw him coming, he explained to a friend, then smiled and watched Xia Yu come over.

"Sir Xia, did you have a good day?"

"Of course, thank you for your hospitality, today is an unforgettable day!" Xia Yu exclaimed with a smile.

Duke Ian Campbell smiled happily and invited Xia Yu to the sofa beside him: "Sir Xia, let's sit there and talk!"

"Okay, please!"

The two sat down one after another.

Duke Ian Campbell went straight to the subject and said: "Sir Summer, listen to my daughter Heidi say that you are going to buy a castle in Scotland, are you?"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also have a lot of businesses in Scotland, and I will have to come to Scotland often later, so I plan to make a home in Scotland."

He said wittily: "And Her Majesty has made me a knight. Although it is far less than your Duke, I also want to own a castle and enjoy the life of a nobleman."

Duke Ian Campbell laughed blankly. Knowing Xia Yu's strength, he certainly knew Xia Yu was joking.

There are a lot of nobles in Britain, but how much strength can match Xia Yu?

In this era of capital standing on the top of the world, Xia Yu, not to mention owning a castle, even hundreds of castles can afford to protect the ground, except for narrow-minded people who may be jealous in private, who else? Dare to show aristocratic score in front of him?

As far as he knew, many earls and viscounts had a hard time, haha, and even the family castles were almost unable to be repaired, so there was only the fig leaf of the "nobles", and even more directly defeated reality and took the initiative to find Come for help, otherwise the Campbell family will not take over other castles.

Duke Ian Campbell said with a smile: "Sir Xia, you are so humorous!"

"It just so happens that I still have some castles in my hand, which I took over after some local aristocrats in Scotland fell down for nearly a hundred years. They are basically unoccupied and spend a lot of money on repairs and maintenance every year. I have also transferred the two castles, and I have always planned to sell the rest. If you are interested, I will arrange for someone to take you there."

Xia Yu nodded happily: "Of course I am interested!"

"About when can I go to see it?"

Duke Ian Campbell smiled and said, "You can do it anytime. If you plan to start watching today, there are also castles in the next county, and there is still time for today."

"If you are farther away, you may need to watch it tomorrow."

Xia Yu nodded: "Okay, Sir Campbell, please arrange for someone to take me to take a look later. I plan to make a decision in two days."

"you are welcome……"

...

After the dance, Duke Ian Campbell arranged for a middle-aged man named Ace and a motorcade to take Xia Yu to see the castle in Stirling County next door.

In the next two days, Xia Yu traveled around Edinburgh, Stirling, Glasgow, Perth and Kinross and other places in central Scotland, and finally chose a glorious castle in Glasgow—Brock Castle.

This castle was built in 1465 by the Count Brock family and is one of the private castle estates of the Brock family. This lakeside castle is very beautiful, although half of it is in the water, but it is well maintained.

When Xia Yu and Elena visited, according to Ace, the castle was taken over by the Campbell family in 1954. The castle covers an area of ​​1.35 acres. In addition to the castle, there are 600 surrounding areas. Twenty acres of forest and grassland, these were originally the assets of the Bullock family, but it is a pity that the previous Earl Pollock was a prodigal gambler and defeated the family assets and reputation.

But if it were not for the prodigal Earl of Bullock, this top castle would not fall into Xia Yu's hands.

Closer to home.

In addition to the fact that this castle manor is really good, Xia Yu chose Block Castle in consideration of other factors. The most important thing is that it is located in Glasgow!

The political and geographical advantages are too obvious!

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland. Although the area is small, it is dozens or hundreds of times larger than the administrative regions, but the population is only tens of thousands. Glasgow has a population of 600,000!

It is also the fourth largest city in the UK and the third largest manufacturing city in the UK, second only to Birmingham and Leeds. Manufacturing was once the city's central industry, and the shipbuilding industry on the Clyde River is even more important.

Although due to the Great Depression of the 1930s and the impact of the two world wars, Glasgow's economy is in constant decline. Since the 1970s, it has been a dark period in Glasgow. The decline of heavy industry has led to high unemployment and low living standards.

However, Xia Yu knows that in the mid-1980s, that is, in a few years, many financial companies will begin to move to Glasgow and gradually become one of the top 20 financial centers in Europe~www.ltnovel.com ~ In addition, they will continue to wear titles such as "European Capital of Culture", "City of Architecture and Design", "European Sports Capital", and "The World's Most Suitable City for Studying".

Glasgow is destined to become Xia Yu's main base in Scotland in the future, and many of his companies will also gather here.

It is undoubtedly very convenient to own a castle in this city.

In the end, Xia Yu spent 4.5 million pounds to buy Block Castle and the 620 acres surrounding the castle. At the same time, Xia Yu took over all the servants to maintain the castle.

The price/performance ratio is undoubtedly much higher than that of the manor Xia Yu bought in Hampshire, London. He spent a million pounds on that manor several years ago, but who made it near London, which is how Glasgow is now. Awful!

Before leaving Scotland, Xia Yu completed the handover ceremony with the Campbell family in front of the butler Terrence Sorcy and 21 other servants. Xia Yu appointed Terrence Sorcy to continue to manage the castle on the spot.

After that, Xia Yu and Elena walked the entire castle with the butler Terrence Sorcy. He combined Elena’s preferences and gave a lot of opinions on various parts of Block Castle, and then asked the butler to target The rectification was carried out sexually, and a cheque of one million pounds was issued to Terrence Saucy for the reinforcement of the castle and the purchase and replacement of interior decoration and daily necessities.

After everything was arranged, Xia Yu took Elena on the plane to England at Glasgow Airport.
