The leisurely life of the rich start

Chapter 399 Into the Dungeon

Afterwards, Zhang Da called Harrison and asked him to complete the handover of the castle as his personal consultant.

"In addition, Director Harrison, I would also like to ask you to inquire about the current market price of this castle."

"I will, Mr. Chairman," Harrison agreed. "Do you have any other requests?"

"After the handover work is completed, you can help me keep an eye out for potential buyers. I intend to sell this castle." Zhang Da said, "There is no need to worry too much about this matter. I don't lack funds, so I hope to sell the castle at a price that exceeds the market price." price to sell the castle."

"I see, Mr. Chairman." Harrison said, "From my point of view, imitation medieval buildings like Pekovton Castle are still quite popular in Europe. Therefore, as long as you are patient, it is still very popular." Easy to sell for a price."

Zhang Da nodded and said, "Okay, I will leave this matter to you."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Chairman!"

After the New Year, Zhang Da received a return from Harrison.

"Mr. Chairman, I have completed the handover of the castle! The castle hotel's total profit in the past three years is 1012.31 million pounds. After the financial audit is correct, all of them have been transferred to your black gold card account.

The current valuation of the castle hotel is 2700 million pounds.

In addition, I have let the wind out that the owner of the castle intends to sell the property at a price of no less than 3000 million pounds, but no one has contacted me to inquire about it yet. "

Zhang Da said with a smile: "Okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work!"

Only now did he realize it personally.

The transaction price of 1300 million pounds in the contract is a bargain compared to the value of the castle.

That guy named Pekovton Bliss must be a well-known prodigal son in the country!

...

"You prodigal son, bastard! You are ashamed of your name! Be honest, what is going on?"

In the Bliss family's estate, Matt Bliss, who was waving a cane, was out of anger at this moment.

The news of the sale of Pekovton Castle has already reached here.

The ancestral property of the Bliss family changed owners without his knowledge.

To him, this was as unacceptable as someone digging up his ancestral grave.

Pekovton Bliss was standing in front of his father with his head downcast.

He was still sighing in his heart, after all, paper couldn't contain the fire.

Then, the crutch fell heavily on his head.

"Ah!" Pekovton let out a scream, "Father, are you crazy?"

"Who is crazy?" Matt poked his son's chest with a cane, and said hysterically, "Peckforton Bliss! Please tell me, when I handed over Pekovton Castle to you, How did you assure me?

How did you piously pat your chest, promising to manage the family's ancestral property better and better, so that everyone in the family and I are proud of the name 'Pekofton', huh? "

Pekovton said cautiously: "Father, please listen to my explanation."

"Shut up!" Matt yelled, "Now, tell me! When did you sell the castle? And who did you sell it to?"

"Three years ago... To be precise, it was three years and four months ago." Pekovton recalled hard, "As for who it was sold to, I really don't know..."

Seeing that Matt's crutch was about to fall again, Gu Xi quickly waved his hand and said, "That's right, father! Because I want to sell the castle without telling you, I entrusted the sale of the castle to a corporate service company in Citigroup .

All the sales work was done by this company, and the only thing I did was to sign the proposed contract. "

"Three years ago? Great, great!" Matt took a few deep breaths, put down his crutches and asked, "My dear son, now please tell me the reason why you sold your ancestral property?"

Pekov said calmly: "I owed a lot of gambling debts at the time, but I dare not tell you."

"Aha, so you told me that you entrusted the operation of the castle to a third-party company?" Matt poked the floor tiles with his crutches, "So every time we go to stay at Pekovton Castle, no one can Recognize your boss!

No, it should be said that no one will recognize you, an insignificant little bastard! "

Pekovton blinked his eyes, and said bachelorly: "You are right, father."

"Well, I have to say, in some respects, you are really a genius!" Matt laughed angrily, waved his hand and called the butler, "Tom, you immediately ask someone to freeze everything under Pekovton's name." credit card, and find out whether he still owes foreign debts.

Then, put this kid in a dungeon and starve him for three days and three nights. "

Butler Tom bowed expressionlessly: "Okay, sir."

"Hey, father, you can't do this, I'm your son?" Pekovton finally panicked when he heard that assets were to be frozen and confinement, "I was wrong, I was really wrong! Please forgive me for this Just once."

"Forgive you?" Matt looked at his son with a complicated expression. "Okay, tell me first, besides Pekovton Castle, do you have anything else to hide from me?"

Pekovton thought for a while and said, "This...which one do you want to hear first?"

Matt closed his eyes in pain, and waved: "Put him in the dungeon, immediately, immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

After Tom agreed, he called two bodyguards in the manor and escorted Pekovton to the dungeon of the manor.

The last time this dark and dank dungeon was used dates back to the 50s.

After leaving the quilt and a lamp for Pekovton, Tom returned to Matt:

"gentlemen!"

"Tom, you need to do one more thing!" Matt ordered, "Go find out who is selling Pekovton Castle, and then bring back the other party's offer.

I must not tolerate the ancestral estate that symbolizes the history and honor of the Brees family continuing to fall into the hands of outsiders. "

...

In China, in the meeting room of Mingda Group.

Zhang Da and others are discussing how to invest in the VR industry.

Tang Haitao, who proposed to develop the VR industry, said:

"Everyone, I don't need to go into too much detail about the prospects of the VR industry. What we want to discuss now is how to hold the development prospects of the VR industry in our hands."

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tang, we can acquire a top domestic VR technology company." Zhang Xiang suggested, "After all, for the group, the most important thing is to master the tool of VR. As for the task of researching tools, it is better to leave it to the professional It is better to deal with the talents."

"I think Vice President, I agree with you." Zhang Da said, "Everyone, the VR industry can be used in Netflix Huaguo's projects, and even Liverpool's game broadcast.

It is obviously a good thing for the group to be able to control a company that has made a lot of achievements in the VR industry. "

...

Chapter 400 People are always responsible for their actions

In the end, the senior management of the group unanimously passed the resolution to acquire a VR company.

However, since the Spring Festival holiday is less than half a month away.

Therefore, Zhang Da decided to arrange the formal acquisition work to be carried out in the next year.

What Tang Haitao and others have to do now is to investigate domestic VR technology companies, select the best among them, and formulate an acquisition plan.

At the same time, three people from Suzhou Equestrian Association also came to visit Zhang Da in the group's office building.

Two of them were Wang Chun and He Zheng who participated in the individual competition with Zhang Da.

Another middle-aged man is Gu Zhongwei, the president of Suzhou Equestrian Association.

In the reception room, he smiled and said to Zhang Da:

"Mr. Zhang, hello! I have been friends with you for a long time, but it is a pity that I have never had the opportunity to get to know each other. This time, Xiao Wang and Xiao He also want to catch up with you, so I will bring them to disturb you. Sorry for the abruptness."

"President Gu, you don't have to be so polite."

Looking at the innocent Wang and He, Zhang Da asked Gu Zhongwei, "What's the matter, but it's okay to say."

"Haha, Mr. Zhang is really straightforward." Gu Zhongwei smiled, "I am here this time mainly to congratulate you on winning the equestrian competition! In addition, I also have an unfeeling request.

I hope that you can participate in the individual competition of the No.4 National Equestrian Competition held at the end of April as a member of Suzhou Equestrian Provincial Team. "

Zhang Da also heard a little about the national equestrian competition.

This is a competition in which all professional riders participate, and it can be regarded as the largest professional competition in China with the most participants.

"Is it appropriate for me to participate in this competition?" Zhang Da thought for a while and asked, "So many players from the provincial team have been preparing for this competition for nearly a year. If you change players before the battle, will everyone be convinced?"

When he is free at home, he does not reject participating in some equestrian competitions.

After all, playing in the equestrian field at home is also playing, isn't it still playing in the arena?

Moreover, the honor cabinet in the study at home is still a bit empty!

"Mr. Zhang, you are too self-effacing." Gu Zhongwei said, "If it was someone else, there might be different voices in the team. But if you are going to participate in the competition, no one will object. For your Riding, everyone is convinced!"

Zhang Da asked again: "What's the specific time?"

"The preliminaries for the individual competition will start on April 4." Seeing that Zhang Da's tone has softened, Gu Zhongwei hastened to hit the railway line, "This year's competition will be hosted by our Suzhou Jockey Club, and the competition venue will be in Jinling, so you don't need to travel long distances to compete!"

"Okay, I promise you!" Zhang Da couldn't think of a reason to refuse the game outside his house, "President Gu, do I need to train with the team before the game?"

Gu Zhongwei said with a smile: "In principle, there is no mandatory requirement. If you want, you can train with us and experience the atmosphere of the provincial team."

Generally speaking, players must have a closed training camp before the game.

However, judging from the performance of the last competition, Zhang Da's equestrian skills have obviously reached the pinnacle in China.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously unnecessary to force him to participate in the training camp.

Zhang Da thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's talk about it after the new year."

Gu Zhongwei smiled and said: "No problem, if you want to come to the provincial team training base, just let me know anytime."

After chatting about the business, the few people finally started chatting.

...

In Bliss Manor two days later, Matt Bliss was sitting in the study depressed.

The steward has already heard the news for him:

The one who is selling Pekovton Castle is Liverpool's executive director Harrison, and the price he quoted is 3000 million pounds.

Just hearing the word "Liverpool" already gave him, a diehard Manchester United fan, a headache.

The trickier point is that the actual owner of Pekovton Castle is the owner of the Liverpool team, Zhang Da.

The thought of the owner of the rival team buying the family estate from his unfilial son made Matt feel a sharp pain in his heart.

Moreover, last month, he slammed Zhang Da several times on social media.

If the other party hated him because of this, and even refused to make a deal with him about Pekovton Castle.

Wouldn't the ancestral property of the Bliss family be ruined in the hands of his generation?

Thinking of this, Matt called the housekeeper angrily: "Tom, extend the closed time of Pekovton to a week later!"

The housekeeper is still like a robot with no emotion: "Okay, sir."

"Well, there is one more thing." Matt said, "I have to buy back Pekovton Castle! But there is some misunderstanding between me and the actual owner of the castle, so I need you to find a third-party company for me to Complete the deal on my behalf."

"No problem, sir!"

After the butler left, Matt sighed deeply.

One would have to pay a high price of 3000 million pounds to buy Pekovton Castle back.

His heart was in pain.

If he had known today, he would never have handed over the family's most important asset to his cheating son.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

The only thing he can do is to "redeem" Pekovton Castle from Zhang Da.

What a shame!

...

"Mr. Chairman, I have received a total of five quotations for the castle." Harrison reported to Zhang Dahui over the phone, "The highest price is 3000 million pounds, and the lowest price is 2880 million pounds."

Zhang Da asked, "Is there an offer from the Bliss family?"

Through Mingming's "science popularization", he already knew that Matt Bliss had launched a period of illogical and unreasonable curses at him on Twitter.
