Goldfinger is a bit strange

Boban pressed the horn for a long time, and then someone came out to open the door in the manor.

Driving in, there are lawns and vegetation on both sides of the road, but it looks a little neglected and grows wildly, so it looks a little desolate.

Facing the front is an ancient and majestic castle with a pointed roof, which is simply the favorite of the little old four. It seems that as soon as the ancient window is opened, the beautiful Snow White will lean out and say hello to her.

A winding river passes in front of the castle, and there is an open-air swimming pool, hidden among the blue sky and green grass.

I got off the bus in front of the castle, and then I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the castle, yawning. He was probably still asleep just now.

This man looked to be less than forty years old. His steps were sloppy, his figure was puffy, he had a fat belly, and he looked like a greasy uncle.

Suddenly, a huge brown bear came up to him and was kicked away by the man. It seemed that this brown bear was someone else's pet.

"Mr. Dolan, excuse me for disturbing you..." Boban bowed and saluted, while Dolan just waved his hand, and then his eyes fell on Liu Qingshan.

Boban introduced: "This is Mr. Liu Qingshan from China, his English name is Mounting."

Liu Qingshan was about to go up to shake hands, but he saw the big brown bear running towards him with a thump and a roar in its throat.

Liu Qingshan has had more contact with bears, so he knew this guy was a friendly gesture.

"Alang, put this guy in a cage and starve him for two days!" Dolan shouted, and the Alang in his mouth was the name of the old housekeeper.

"You are abusing animals!"

Little Laosi rushed up dissatisfied, took out a pack of biscuits from her bag, and lured the big brown bear away. Before leaving, she glared at Dolan. She hated this guy.

Liu Qingshan smiled and shook hands with Dolan, and the other party also seemed enthusiastic:

"Mr. Mountain, I have heard your name. I heard that you won tens of millions during the World Cup. Come on, let's go in and have a good chat."

At first glance, this guy looked like a sensual person. Liu Qingshan didn't want to communicate with this kind of person, so he looked at Boban.

The latter immediately came up and whispered a few words to Dolan. The smile on Dolan's face became even brighter, and he diligently led Liu Qingshan into the castle.

In the summer, the inside of the castle looks very cool, and the furnishings are very old, as if you have returned to the Middle Ages.

On the wall, Liu Qingshan also saw several oil paintings, but he didn't understand them well and didn't know if they were works by famous artists.

Climb up the old stairs and come to a storage room, which is filled with old furniture and some porcelain and bronzeware.

Even someone like Liu Qingshan frowned slightly after taking a look, and looked at Boban with a sharp gaze.

No wonder Liu Qingshan was suspicious. These things were simply fakes, trying to fool laymen. Could it be that this Boban team up to cheat money?

Of course Boban understood what Liu Qingshan was thinking and gave a hint with his eyes.

Then I saw Dolan take off an oil painting from the wall. There was actually a metal runner embedded in the wall.

Dolan rotated the wheel, and with a creaking sound, a wall cracked. It turned out that there was a secret door here, and there was a secret room hidden inside, which was about twenty square meters.

There was no lighting equipment in the darkroom, so Dolan lit a few candles inside. The candlesticks were all simple bronze candlesticks.

On the three walls, there are ancient racks displaying some artifacts. Dolan stretched out his hand to indicate:

"Mr. Mountain, this is my family's collection, please take your time and appreciate it."

Liu Qingshan's heart gradually returned to calm. Although these cultural relics were plundered back then, this kind of banditry was really infuriating.

But he knew that being angry would not solve the problem. Now he needed to calm down and identify the authenticity first.

This important task fell on Lu Fang.

Although Boban is also an insider, he has not won Liu Qingshan's trust yet.

There are hundreds of antiques in the collection, and it will definitely take a certain amount of time to appraise them.

Mr. Dolan didn't have the patience to wait here, so he called the housekeeper A Lang up to keep an eye on him, and he invited Liu Qingshan to have breakfast together, even though it was almost noon.

"Mr. Dolan, if you please, I just want to admire the collection here."

Liu Qingshan didn't want to have too much interaction with people like Dolan, so he politely declined and studied these antiques with Lu Fang.

Dolan shrugged his shoulders and left. Boban didn't leave either. He chatted with the elderly butler.

I have to say that this guy is really talented and funny. He easily gained the goodwill of the old housekeeper and made the conversation very interesting.

Moreover, Boban's topic also led to this ancient manor intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm afraid this manor and castle will have to change owners. Thinking about how glorious the Dolan family was back then..." Old people like to recall the past, and the old housekeeper looked back on the past with many sighs.

"Is Mr. Dolan planning to sell Dolan Manor?" Boban asked in a timely manner.

The old butler Alang nodded sadly, with a look of loneliness on his face. He was obviously dissatisfied with the current owner, but he couldn't explain it to outsiders.

Boban was secretly happy and continued to talk: "Old sir, I wonder what the price is?"

"The price tag was three million francs, but the asking price was so high that it scared people away."

The old housekeeper sighed after finishing speaking. He has grown up here since he was a child and has deep feelings for every plant and tree here.

The current franc is only slightly higher than the Chinese currency, so three million francs is less than one million US dollars.

So cheap?

Liu Qingshan, who was looking at an ancient book, couldn't help but look over here.

In his opinion, such an ancient castle manor would cost at least tens of millions.

In fact, the price of ancient castle manors in Europe is really cheap, even in later times.

The reason is very simple, you can afford to buy, but you may not be able to live in it.

The cost of repairs alone is a large sum of money every year, and you can't just demolish it casually. The government has already filed it. If you just do some decoration, you may have to go to court.

In addition, such a large manor needs to hire people to take care of it, such as gardeners, cooks, housekeepers, drivers, etc. Just paying salaries, in a few years, will cost more than the money to buy the castle.

After listening to the old housekeeper Alang's chatter for a long time, Liu Qingshan finally figured it out. It seems that it is unlikely to expect the real estate to appreciate in value.

But if he didn't buy this place, he would be unwilling to do so.

He had to get the family's ancestral property, otherwise, Liu Qingshan would not be able to let go of his anger.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the old housekeeper nagging again: "Our Duolan Manor used to produce wine, which was also very famous, but it's a pity that it has declined now."

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but think: here, many manors are famous for producing wine, such as Lafite Manor and so on.

If this industry can be maintained, it may be self-sufficient.

Moreover, Xu Changsheng will also make desert wine in the future, and he needs experienced winemakers. It would be good to establish some foundations here first, which will be beneficial to development in the future.

Gu Qian waited until noon, but Mr. Duolan was nowhere to be seen.

The old housekeeper was pretty good. He brought coffee and bread to Liu Qingshan and others, which was considered a bite.

At the beginning, Lu Fang looked at it carefully and carefully. He would study an antique for a long time.

However, although these antiques are all old objects, their grade is very ordinary. They are basically for civilian use and are not very valuable.

The only one with a slightly higher value is the Buddhist scripture that Liu Qingshan just read. It should be an ancient book from the Song Dynasty, which is commonly known as the Song edition book.

"Boss, these are just a pile of junk." Lu Fang muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Liu Qingshan smiled and indicated that it was okay. Their original target was not these antiques, but the animal heads placed on the two pillars outside the gate.

"Let's go and discuss the price with Mr. Dolan." Liu Qingshan had already made up his mind.

The group left the dark room and came to the living room on the first floor, but still did not see Mr. Dolan.

Looking out through the French window, I saw a parasol next to the swimming pool, and Mr. Dolan was lying on a beach chair taking a nap.

There were also two brothers, the fourth and the fifth, who were by the river farther away. They looked like they were fishing.

The huge brown bear was also sitting there.

When Liu Qingshan looked over, Shanxing had just caught a fish and threw it to the big bear behind him. The scene was surprisingly harmonious.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile, and he became more determined:

He must buy this Dolan Castle, and then ask his family to come and live there for a period of time a year, just as a vacation.

The old housekeeper went to the swimming pool, woke up Mr. Dolan, returned to the living room, drank a cup of coffee, and then he felt more energetic.

Boban first conveyed Liu Qingshan's meaning: "Sir, Mr. Mountain doesn't like these antiques in your house."

Hearing this, Dolan was not happy: "These are all handed down from my ancestors, all from... all fine products."

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "Mr. Dolan, I believe you have already asked someone to appraise them. Although these things are a bit old, they are all common goods and not valuable."

This sentence obviously touched Dolan's soft spot. He immediately put away the anger on his face and smiled:

"Mr. Mountain, after all, they are all antiques, and they are still valuable. Whatever you like, I will definitely give you a preferential price?"

This guy, where is the aristocratic demeanor, seeing the old housekeeper next to him shook his head: It's really that one generation is worse than the next.

Liu Qingshan raised his palm and waved: "I'm not interested in any of them."

In fact, he was still very interested in the Buddhist scriptures printed in the Song Dynasty, but the other party obviously didn't know the value, so Liu Qingshan certainly wouldn't point it out.

Dolan's face immediately fell, he mumbled something, and his eyes were dull.

Liu Qingshan changed the subject: "However, I heard that Mr. Dolan was going to sell this manor. I think my two sisters like it very much. If the price is right, I am willing to consider it."

"Buy Dolan Castle, good!"

Dolan jumped up from his seat. This is much more valuable than those antiques!

After being excited for a while, Dolan directly quoted: "Only three million francs, and it's yours!"

"Mr. Mountain, this castle has a history of more than 300 years, and it also includes hundreds of acres of vineyards. Just think about it, you invite your good friends to taste delicious wine in the castle with a strong historical atmosphere. It's simply wonderful."

This guy has a good eloquence and began to make big promises to Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan listened very seriously, and waited for the other party to finish speaking, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Dolan, why don't you enjoy this kind of life?"

Dolan was speechless for a moment and blinked his eyes hard: "Mr. Mountain, you know, if you live a life too long, you will get tired of it."

In fact, he prefers the sensual pleasures of the city, but unfortunately he does not have the capital to enjoy that kind of life now. wWw. Seven

If this manor is sold, it will be a happy few years.

"Okay, Mr. Dolan, give me an acceptable price. Let's not bargain like small vendors, okay?"

Liu Qingshan looked at the other party happily. Now the other party is anxious, of course he is not anxious.

Dolan began to pace in the living room, his feet became faster and faster, and he was muttering something in French. Anyway, Liu Qingshan did not understand French, but just thought that this guy was a little neurotic.

"Mr. Mountain, three million, everything in this manor, including those antiques, will be yours!"

Dolan seemed to have made up his mind, walked in front of Liu Qingshan, and waved his arms excitedly.

Liu Qingshan was also a little excited in his heart, but his surface was calm as water.

Apart from anything else, the antiques alone are worth at least one million francs.

Add to that the two priceless animal heads, and this Dolan Castle is like a free gift.

However, Liu Qingshan did not agree casually, but called Victor.

After asking, Liu Qingshan smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Dolan, it's a deal, I will hire relevant personnel to conduct a specific transaction with you."

There are many things involved in purchasing such a manor, such as taxation and personnel placement, which are very trivial, and Liu Qingshan does not have so much time.

"Okay, I will contact my lawyer right away."

Dolan was also very happy and wanted to hug Liu Qingshan, but Liu Qingshan quickly stretched out his hand in front of him and shook hands.

Liu Qingshan emphasized again: "Including the brown bear, I think my sisters like it very much."

"Yes, of course, that guy is too clingy, and his belly is super big."

Dolan is happy to get rid of the burden. He has been fed up with raising such a foodie and not being able to abuse him too much.

Seeing the old housekeeper Alang next to him looking lost, Liu Qingshan walked up to him:

"Old sir, if you don't mind, are you willing to stay and continue to help me take care of this manor?"

Alang's old face immediately became excited. He looked at Liu Qingshan with a sincere face, and then bowed: "Sir, I am happy to serve you."

The old housekeeper now understood: it seems that it is not bad to change a new owner. A person who is friendly to animals should also be good to people.

When the fourth and fifth children who were fishing by the river received the news, they were also happy to jump up and ran over with cheers.

For them, this is not only a manor, but also a proof of their own strength.

This meaning makes them even more excited.

The silly-looking big brown bear, holding half a fish in his mouth, also stood up and waved his big palms.

Could it be that he also knew that the manor had changed hands and cheered for the arrival of the new owner?

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim blood rain.

The city was full of broken walls and ruins, and everything was withered. Collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of gloom and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, and looked at the mottled stones in front of them alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his worn-out coat from all directions, attacked his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 feet away from him, and occasionally vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement would instantly take it into the air.
