Harry Potter and the Master of Magic Chapter 54: When you buy a castle, you buy a castle

　　 "Choose me! Sir, I can do a lot, and I eat less."

　　"Choose me! Although I eat more, I will eat more."

　　"Master, you should choose me! I am the most loyal!"

　　 These little elves are extremely enthusiastic, and Zhang Hao is so dizzy that he can only choose ten of them randomly.

　　The little elves who weren't selected were all very lost, as if they had taken a god-given opportunity.

　　 Zhang Hao said to Bob: "I will pay you a deposit first, and let them pass after I buy the castle."

　　 "Of course, sir." Bob said flatly, "As long as you confirm the address, we will send them to you as quickly as possible."

　　 Zhang Hao nodded, then gave a few words casually, and then turned and left with Zhang Qiu.

　　 After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Zhang Hao immediately used resources to find a castle for sale in Britain.

　　 There are only two days since the Christmas holiday, and certain procedures are required to purchase a castle.

　　 This process may take more than ten days to several months, and it can be done within two days, but it will cost a lot of money.

　　 For Zhang Hao, worldly money is spent without distress.

　　If you can save time, what would be the extra money?

　　 That afternoon, a thick paper report was sent to Zhang Hao.

　　 He took a closer look and found that there are currently hundreds of old castles for sale in the UK.

　　 These castles are as small as tens of thousands of square feet and as large as hundreds of thousands of square feet.

　　The price also varies, the cheap price is only a few hundred thousand pounds, and the expensive price is hundreds of millions of pounds.

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

　　 He chose among hundreds of castles without pressure, and Zhang Qiu was also a staff member.

　　 "Huh? Cousin, what do you think of this castle? It's so beautiful!"

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

　　 "Look here, the statue of this castle is very good, and the decoration is also very gorgeous. How about buying it?"

　　 "Hmm! This castle has ghosts, maybe the price will be lower."

　　……

　　 Zhang Hao was troubled by Zhang Qiu's headache. In order to avoid the harm, he randomly picked a price that was about the same.

　　"This is it!" He took out a photo and said in comparison with the data: "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 bit more expensive! It costs five million pounds!"

　　 5 million pounds, which is equivalent to more than 43 million RMB.

　　If you are in a hurry, the price may be higher.

　　 The price is indeed a bit expensive, but it is not unacceptable.

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

　　 The distance from London to Stafford is nearly 200 kilometers, either by train or by car, and I will be back in two days.

　　 Zhang Hao thought about it and decided to drive to Stafford.

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

　　 This is another expense!

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

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

　　 "It's you?" Zhang Hao doubted: "When you see a stranger, you become a quail, and you still bargain?"

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

　　……

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

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

　　As a professional manager, Smith Charlie will of course conduct a survey of customers before doing business.

　　 He already knows who he wants to discuss business with, and he also knows general information about Zhang Hao.

　　 After seeing Zhang Hao, he was still shocked.

　　 "Oh! My God! Dear Mr. Zhang, I can’t believe until now that there is a genius like you in this world! I’m so glad to see you!"

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

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

　　 When a person reaches the top, one can hear words of praise everywhere.

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

　　"Great!" Charlie said with joy: "I like to communicate with straightforward people like you! Then, please let me explain the prerequisites for buying a castle for you."

　　 "Please speak!" Zhang Hao nodded.

　　Charlie opened a document and read according to the text: “Anyone who obtains ownership of the castle must be responsible for the repair of his castle. If the purchaser of the castle refuses to repair the castle or maliciously destroy the castle, the British government will have The right to take back the ownership of the castle... Once the ownership of the castle is taken back, the purchaser will forever lose the qualification to buy the castle. Mr. Zhang, do you have any questions?"

　　 There are many things to note when buying castles. This is also the rule of the castle trading industry in various countries.

　　 After all, the castle is also an antique, and it is also regarded as a material cultural heritage for the world.

　　 Zhang Hao understands all of these, and does not think that the castle will be destroyed in his hands.

　　There are elves taking care of it, and the repair work of the castle is probably not difficult.

　　 This can be known from the status quo at Hogwarts.

　　 Hogwarts is bigger than Collinsville and has suffered more damage.

　　"Mr. Charlie, there is no problem with these." Zhang Hao asked with a smile: "I just want to know, when can I live in the castle?"

　　 "Uh! Mr. Zhang, you are a bit too urgent." Charlie said, "It will take at least fifteen days to complete all the procedures~ IndoMTL.com~ I hope I can live in this castle tomorrow. How much will it take? Can you do it with money?" Zhang Hao said arrogantly: "I know you must have a way, so please don't make excuses for prevarication."

　　 "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 and take a look?"

　　 "Oh! Of course!" Charlie said quickly: "This is your right as a buyer, please feel free to."

　　The castle is equipped with a British palace butler, as well as gardeners, cleaning staff, and security personnel.

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

　　 Zhang Hao, accompanied by the housekeeper, took a good tour of the castle inside and out.

　　 This castle has beautiful gardens and hubos, as well as five remodeled towers.

　　 There are more than sixty suites in the castle, large carved fireplaces, period furniture, rustic oak floors...

　　 is full of elegant charm everywhere, and every room makes people feel like they have traveled to the Middle Ages.

　　The real estate company seems to have carried out a certain degree of transformation of the castle. In addition to the elegant suites, the castle also has a racecourse, a billiard room, an indoor game room, a workshop, a gym, a library, an orange garden, a dungeon...

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

　　The longer he stays in the castle, the more Zhang Hao likes the castle.

　　 Just imagine life in a castle, and a sense of superiority will emerge spontaneously!

　　"What is going north to the vast villa? Can I live in this old castle comfortably?"
