Chapter 153
Although his current net worth has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, no amount of money and stocks in the bank can compare to the shock of gold and jewelry placed in front of you.
The only thing that upset William was that he hadn't figured out where to hide the treasure. It was not safe to put it in his basement. The value of the treasure was too great. William was worried that the old beauty would not be willing to lose such a large amount of wealth. If you search the castle, you will be caught and captured.
Back at Oxford Castle, as soon as I got off the car, I saw my mother walking out. When I saw William Lina, she first looked happy, then snorted at William, and walked out of the castle on her own.
I scolded William as a bastard in my heart. This bastard has been out for a few months since he got rich. He has only been with her for a few days since he got rich. It must be false to say that he doesn't mind, after all, she is only William's child.
But since knowing that William can inherit the title, Lena is like living all over again, happily staying in the castle, taking care of everything in the castle, planting flowers and raising horses by the way.
William followed his mother to make amends for a long time, and at lunch, he gallantly served her mother with dishes, wine, and vegetables, which made Lena happy.
After lunch, Lena, who forgave William, did not let William take a lunch break, but pulled William with a smile and said to take him to see an Arabian horse that he bought a few days ago.
Seeing that his mother was so happy, William didn't lose Lena's interest. The two strolled to the stables. On the way, Lena talked to William from time to time about how beautiful the newly bought Thoroughbred Arabian horse was and how strong it was when hurling.
Talking and laughing, he walked, and turned out of the grove. William looked at the stables that had suddenly changed in front of him, and looked at his mother with some joy.
Seeing her son's surprise, Lina smiled and said, "You've been away from home for so long, I can only find my own hobbies, and you've given me so much money, I don't know how to spend it, so I bought it after thinking about it. The horses, and the stables have been expanded several times. Now there are twelve stables in the front, which can raise more than 20 horses.
The other three sides are kept as spares. If there are more descendants of horses in the future, those three sides can be expanded, and I have built a racecourse behind the stables.
I'm happy to talk about this, do you know how much a small farm of more than 300 acres next to us costs? Haha, bought it for less than £800,000."
"800,000 pounds?" The price surprised William and asked happily: "It's so cheap, doesn't that mean that the land around here has fallen by more than half?"
Lina said with a smile: "Yes, son, you don't know, many farmers around us are going bankrupt. As long as they buy it in cash, the nearby farmers will definitely be willing to sell their farms and live in other places. William, didn't you say you wanted to buy all the land nearby? I think now is a good opportunity."
William has always had the idea of buying land. After thinking about it, the current price is already very low. Although it will fall after waiting, the decline is not large. Moreover, while the market is bearish, most farmers are struggling to support it. He only buys in large quantities. This kind of opportunity does not come all the time.
"Well, Mom, I'll tell the Swiss bank people to deal with this. It's better to buy all the land around here."
Lina said in surprise: "No, I bought them all. There are 3,000 acres around our castle. If you add the tens of thousands of acres near the river opposite, will it be too big? Farms are not pastures, and how many people did we have to hire to do the work at that time, and the city of Oxford would not necessarily agree to this deal.”
Thinking about the general situation of the land near the castle, William thought for a while in his heart, and said with a sigh, "Okay, tens of thousands of acres seem to be too big, so buy as many as you can!
But I will definitely buy the 3,000 acres around the castle, and I hope that all around us will become the private domain of our Devon Hill family, which is good for our security and privacy."
The son was concerned about her safety, which made Lena very happy and said happily: "It's just that the 3,000 acres of the old castle will be fine. If you want to buy it, you can sign a contract tomorrow. The owner of the farm lost a lot of money investing in the stock market. Money, he even came to me a few days ago and asked when you will be back, and he looks like he needs a lot of money to repay the bank, maybe 5 million pounds can be bought."
"So cheap? I remember Anthony told me a while ago that it was like £10m or £8m"
"Of course, don't look at who else would buy land here besides you. Those who want to buy don't have the strength now, and those with strength don't look down on the countryside like Oxford. Hmph, that guy wanted to buy it last month. Price, baby, we'll bid £5 million, love it or not, and now he's begging us."
William calculated in his mind, 5 million to buy 3,000 acres, that is not to say that an acre is less than 1,700 pounds, God, this is really cheap, there is no problem at all in ten years.
Thinking of this William nodded without hesitation, buy it, definitely buy it, buy as much as he can, think of Margaret Mitchell's famous novel "Gone with the Wind", the heroine Scarlett's father looks out at the dusk The shrouded Tara Manor said a classic quote to Scarlett.
"The land is the only thing in the world worth working for, fighting for, and dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts."
The wealth in the stock market is false, the money you get is real, and the land is the real thing, it is the most valuable wealth, and at the same time it is the source of wealth creation, and land in England is permanent ownership.
The more land you own, the greater the rights you have. It affects votes, affects public environmental resources, and is more related to the lives of countless people.
count.
Thinking of these William, he immediately made a decision to buy as much as he could, even if the price was higher than the current price, he would accept it, "I will call Anthony and ask their law firm to cooperate with the Swiss National Bank to settle the land issue. , Mom, take me to see your new pet."
"Well, if we buy these 3,000 acres of land, we can be considered worthy of the ancestors of the Devon Hill family. This land belonged to our family before your great-grandfather. William, mother is proud of you, you are the best".
Lena talked to William happily, and even pulled him down and patted his head, "God, William, you are so tall now, Mom didn't expect you to grow up so quickly, hey, you were cute when you were young, Come on, I'll show you the Arabian horse."
William watched his mother go wild for no apparent reason. Is this what angered her? Seeing his mother leave him alone, he shook his head and walked into the stables, not to mention that the new stables were not of the same grade as the previous ones. He happily didn't go a long way when he saw an all-black horse. Arabian horse, William was amazed by that horse at first sight, it was so beautiful.
Two hundred and twentieth chapters sweat and blood
Arabian horses are one of the oldest horse breeds in the world and the first to establish a pedigree registration system. They are light and compact, giving them strength, speed and extraordinary stamina.
The special demeanor structure makes Arabian horses capable of various equestrian events, especially in long-distance endurance races, and they are the kings who do their part. Athletes in Olympic events such as dressage and show jumping, Arabian horses are also excellent family companions due to their high intelligence and kinship.
William fell in love with the three-year-old stallion at first sight. The stallion, dubbed by his mother Lena as King Devonhill II, was very strong, with a strong stride, and he liked the way he looked. Getting close to human beings, after seeing his mother coming, he kept shaking his head and tail at his mother, hitting the guardrail lightly from time to time, neighing and trying to get out of the stable.
The mother laughed and opened the guardrail. When the pony came out, her tail wagged even more happily. She walked to her mother in a few steps and pushed Lena with her horse's face from time to time. She wanted to go out and have fun. King Wenhill II, laughed and said, "William, do you want to try riding it?"
Forget it, the thought of the name of this horse made William feel weird, he shook his head and said, "No, Mom, let it be your exclusive mount. Although the Arabian horse is very beautiful, it is not suitable for a person of my height. It's still a little small.
I like the Ahajie golden horse, the legendary sweaty horse of the Orientals. I heard that there are only less than 3,000 horses in the world. Most of them are in Turkmenistan now, and they don’t seem to be expensive. The sweaty horse is mixed with several other horses. "
Thinking about the legends he knew in the Great Heaven in his previous life, his deep love for sweaty horses, and the soaring price of sweaty horses in the next few years. Raising sweaty horses can be regarded as a hobby and make money. The more he thinks about William, the more he feels. Nourishing sweat and blood is a good idea,
I look forward to the scene when I raise a large group of sweaty horses in the future, and in the future, when I mention sweaty horses in the report, I have to mention him as a horse farm owner. Other rich people only buy one or two horses, but I am not. Dozens and hundreds of sweat and blood, thinking of William makes his blood boil.
After making up his mind, William told his mother that he would immediately check the phone number, contact a professional economic company, and let them choose horses for him, and buy good horses in large batches while the sweat blood market price is not expensive.
But before William took a few steps, he heard his mother's voice, "Okay, don't look for the number, I have the phone number of the professional broker, their company is the largest horse trading company in England, Devon Hill II. bought it from them,
If you want to buy a horse, tell them the requirements, and they will send someone to send a picture book to your door for you to choose. If you choose, they will send it to your home and wait for your confirmation before trading. One-stop service, you don’t have to go out and find it yourself. "
William was overjoyed. He took out his mobile phone and called the phone number given by his mother. After a few beeps, he heard, "Hello, this is Dalima, what can I do for you?"
The voice was pretty good. William said, "Hello, I'm William Devon Hill. I want to buy some sweaty horses. Does your company have sweaty horses in England?"
"Devonhill, Devonhill at Oxford?" exclaimed the operator. "Sorry, sir, are you Mr. William Devonhill?"
"Haha, yes, if there is no other William Devon Hill in Oxford, it's me," William secretly delighted in the fuss of the girl on the other side of the phone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Devonhill, I was so surprised to receive your call. I'm sorry, I'm rude. Of course, our company has Ahajie golden horses, that is, sweaty horses. Do you have any requirements? We will select them for you according to your requirements, and after the selection, we will make a picture book and a video and send a specialist to serve you at your door.”
"Very well, I only want a horse that has just come of age or is about to become an adult. The body must be strong and beautiful, preferably red. You can figure out the rest. You know who I am, I only want a good horse and sweat and blood. ".
"No problem, I wrote it down, sir, we will organize the materials and videos immediately, and we will meet you at Devon Hill Castle in Oxford in 2 hours, can you?", the receiver said cautiously.
"ok, I'm at home today, don't let me down, look forward to your arrival, bye," William said.
"I promise our company will make you satisfied, see you in 2 hours, bye, sir,"
Hanging up the phone, William stood by the guardrail, watching his mother riding Devon Hill II at a constant speed on the racecourse in the stable, Arabian horse body
The shape is still very beautiful, but the body is a little smaller. The tallest is only about 152 meters, and most of them are about 146. This is indeed a little short for William, who is already 19 meters tall.
But it seems that the body of the sweaty horse is not tall, only five or six centimeters taller than Alabama, but who made William's previous life liked by the Chinese? Money is hard to buy a good heart plus the price after sweat and blood, who will buy it if you don't buy it.
Standing by the guardrail with her mother for an hour, after Devonhill II ran out of sweat, Lena handed it over to a professional horse trainer.
It seems that my mother really likes horses. On the way back to the castle, Lena kept talking about horse-related things. She wanted to have a horse of her own when she was a child. How did she choose Devon Hill II a few days ago? How to communicate with it.
William listened cheerfully to his mother's words, and returned to the castle before he knew it. Once home, Lena went to wash herself without caring about William's horses.
William, who had just returned home and had nothing to do, explained to the servants that if anyone came looking for him, he would take them to the living room and so on. After the instructions, William walked to the back garden, sat on a round chair, drank coffee and read today's newspaper.
Half an hour later, William received a message from the servant that someone from the horse company had arrived.
These guys came so fast, as expected of the largest horse company in England, got up and put down the newspaper, and took care of his clothes. William followed the servants back to the castle. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a middle-aged man with four or five suits. The men and women stood up and looked at William with smiles on their faces.
