Although he was just a laborer before time travel and had never been abroad, Shi Xiaolei had seen news on the Internet several times such as "Shocking, you can buy a castle for 1 yuan". Shi Xiaolei also searched the Internet out of curiosity.

Two times, I gained some basic understanding of the ancient castles that have survived in Europe.

It costs a lot of money to repair and maintain an ancient castle. And to restore it to the point where it can be inhabited again, the budget is even higher. As for how much it will cost...the size of the castle, its age, and the local government

The management regulations set will have a vital impact and increase the cost of repairing the castle. It can range from hundreds to tens of millions, and if it is more, it may cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and it can last for several years.

time.

After all, Shi Xiaolei still had some objections to Bayonetta's decision to take over the castle without asking her family members.

However, seeing Kang Na's happy and expectant reaction, and thinking that all the procedures had been completed, there was no way to regret the return... After being depressed for a few days, Shi Xiaolei finally accepted this fact.

"I bought an old castle without spending a penny. Man, you should be happy that you have taken such a big advantage, right?" Stark's eyes were filled with gloating, and he winked while raising a toast.

There was also a hint of teasing and ridicule in his expression.

"Come on, why are you so happy? It's too late to get a headache." Shaking his head, Shi Xiaolei asked with a wry smile: "You have a lot of connections, do you know where to find experts who are good at repairing old castles? Seriously, if not... forget it.

No more talking."

"Say it, why don't you say it. Say it to make me happy."

"Go, go, worry about it." Shi Xiaolei rolled his eyes speechlessly: "You're not afraid of getting into trouble if you watch the fun, right?"

"Hmm~." He raised his eyebrows with a smile, and Stark nodded: "Yes, it's a rare opportunity to have fun. Do you know how happy I am? Hehe, I wish you luck, man."

Now that he has accepted the facts and recognized Bayonetta's ownership of the castle, as the head of the family, Shi Xiaolei naturally has to come forward to help and invest some attention in repairing the castle.

After all, Sister Bei is an expert who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and she never spends too much thought on such mundane things. And the local government in Scotland has regulations that do not allow historic castles to be abandoned, so

, if he doesn't want to get into trouble for neglecting the management and repair of the castle, Shi Xiaolei must stand up and take on this responsibility for Sister Bei, who is "in charge of killing but not burying".

As for how to accomplish this task...

With your own connections, you can call the bank and ask them to help handle it.

However, the service specialist is pretended to be Natasha. If this matter is revealed to the bank, SHIELD will definitely learn about it when passing by her... Although it is completely possible to pretend not to know and use SHIELD's

manpower, to get this thing done at a lower price than the market price, but thinking that SHIELD might do something inside while repairing the castle, Shi Xiaolei finally gave up the idea of ​​calling the bank to help with the matter.

.

In this case, the only one who can be trusted is Stark.

"Okay, no more joking. Man, do me a favor and introduce some trustworthy experts, okay?" After a few words of bickering, Shi Xiaolei rubbed his face and put on a more serious expression.

"Okay, since you asked me to ask for it."

Snapping his fingers, Stark raised his head and gave an instruction to Jarvis, who was on standby 24 hours a day: "Jarvis, did you hear the conversation we had just now? Check to see who is more suitable.

He made a list."

"Yes, sir." He agreed, and Jarvis activated a projector that looked like a decorative ornament placed on the coffee table, projecting a translucent holographic screen in front of the two of them: "According to my search...

…”

It is indeed an advanced artificial intelligence, and its calculation speed is very fast.

In the blink of an eye, Jarvis had already found the names of nearly twenty experts on the Internet and compiled the resume information corresponding to each person.

"So many?" means that at most one or two suitable candidates can be found. Unexpectedly, there are many more candidates than he imagined. Looking at the neatly arranged photos on the screen, Shi Xiaolei was really surprised.

It was also a little difficult. If there were only one or two candidates, it would be quite easy to choose. But now, with so many choices, Shi Xiaolei was a bit confused and didn't know who to choose.

"You can send an invitation to their office." Fortunately, there was Stark nearby, who gave timely advice: "Do you know what bidding is? Send them the information about your castle.

Let’s talk about the requirements again and see who comes up with the solution that best suits your needs. For laymen, this method is the simplest and most efficient. If you can’t find a clue, you might as well give it a try.”

"Yes, thank you, buddy." His eyes lit up, and Shi Xiaolei immediately accepted his friend's advice: "Jarvis, can you retrieve the information about the castle that Bayonetta just got back?

"

"Of course." The next second, the photos originally arranged on the screen were shrunk and moved to one side, replaced by a map indicating the location, as well as a three-dimensional view of the old castle: "Brendan Castle, built in 14

Mid-century. Mr. Locke, is this the castle?"

Taking out his mobile phone and looking at the photos in the album, Shi Xiaolei snapped his fingers: "Yes, that's it."

"Do you need me to draft a copy for you?"

"Submitted to those firms?" Shi Xiaolei asked in return, and Shi Xiaolei nodded quickly: "I wish you could ask for it. My worst thing is writing articles. Please, Jarvis."

"I'm happy to help." After agreeing, Jarvis asked again: "As for the budget, do you have any requirements? According to my estimate, it may cost 30 million to repair and restore this castle to a habitable level.

About the budget. In the bidding invitations sent to those firms, do I need to indicate the amount of the budget?"

"Thirty million..." Upon hearing this number, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"It's only 30 million, there's nothing to hesitate about."

In response to Stark's glare, Shi Xiaolei reluctantly replied: "Okay. Jarvis, help me indicate the budget amount. Thirty million, right? Just go with that. Draw a line first, it will save you money."

They... I don't want to see the few in my family being fooled by the plan they designed and spending a lot of money for no reason."

"OK."
