Rebirth: From arcade game to business empire

"Oh, really?"

Lin Mu's face showed a curious expression.

"Of course!" Sophia smiled bitterly, and then said slowly, "You are really the first person to buy the castle here!"

Lin Mu was a little surprised.

Sophia said slowly: "Actually, in the beginning, some of our castles were built for defense, some were former residences of celebrities, and more were symbols of family status. However, these are hundreds of years old, and the buildings and facilities in the castle are gradually aging, and the repair costs are extremely high. Previously, the owners of the castle took advantage of the castle's existing advantages to rent out rooms and receive tourists, but they still could not close the gap in the cost of repairs. "

Speaking of this, Sophia also said helplessly: "Especially, since last year, the large-scale oil crisis has caused my economy to begin to decline, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to hold the castle!"

Lin Mu somewhat understood, in fact, the nobles of these castles still maintained the dignity of their nobles, but they were inferior to the capitalists who developed later.

When the land shifted to capital, the maintenance of the castle was not as easy as before.

At present, the successors of the castle face the dilemma that their ancestors relied on the land annuity they owned to maintain the castle, while the next generation is mostly struggling to maintain it due to the loss of land, which is an important income. The huge area of the castle, as well as the high labor costs, the owners who live in the castle, not all live a fairy tale dream life, the sky-high cost of the castle every day makes them miserable, and the beautiful castle has become a "hot potato" in their hands.

I really can't get mixed up, so I can only sell it.

The two of them went into the castle, and Sophia kept introducing them.

"The castle has 45 rooms, 78 windows, and a five-storey castle. The castle also has a moat surrounding the castle, 12 acres of land, a private forest, and a pasture. "

Lin Mu looked at the surrounding environment and nodded slightly: "It looks a little good!"

"Of course, this castle has a long history, once our King Henry VIII used to spend his free time in this castle with his mistress without the surveillance of his six wives, and Elizabeth I often hosted feasts and state meetings here!" Sophia spoke, still with a little pride.

Lin Mu only pouted, but he was thinking in his heart that if he bought it, he would definitely replace everything here and replace it with a new bed.

"This castle is the style of the Roman Empire at its peak, when the Romans conquered the world, and the Roman architectural style spread throughout Europe!"

Sophia pointed to the semicircular and cylindrical vaults of the castle. "The barrel arches are applied to the pilasters and enclosed arcades, which are both solid and artistic. There are also circular towers, which make the towers less susceptible to destruction. "

Lin Mu glanced at Sophia, feeling that this woman seemed to be memorizing a textbook, but his suspicion of this woman became more and more serious.

She's certainly not your average woman.

Damn, where there's an introduction to the castle, it's like memorizing a textbook.

In normal times, Lin Mu would not be so suspicious, the key is that this woman's performance is not quite like a normal performance.

"The other buildings are also quite good, with narrow windows, semicircular arches, low cupolas, and door frames that are raised from one floor to another. Due to the extensive use of columns and vaults of various shapes, the building achieves a solid and heavy, balanced and stable, saturated aesthetic effect, and the narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast space inside, making the interior of the castle dim and deep, and there is no sense of mystery and darkness. "

Lin Mu shrugged, laughed, and said lightly: "It's true!"

And Sophia took Lin Mu to visit one room after another.

I have to say that the style of this room Lin Mu still likes more, the most important thing is that it is large, and it is grand enough, before the owner leaves, it has been repaired to a certain extent.

"By the way, what is the price?" Lin Mu suddenly asked.

"It's still about two million pounds!" Sophia was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted and responded.

"Two million pounds?" Lin Mu came to the top floor of the castle, overlooking the scenery below the entire castle, and then took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "This price is not bad, and it is quite reasonable!"

However, buying this kind of castle is only the beginning, and at least 100,000 pounds a year will be spent on repairs and repairs.

This is not a big problem for Lin Mu, he is rich now, and he is not ordinary rich.

Then, Lin Mu came to the master bedroom again, but his eyes swept over the four-poster bed in the middle of me, this bed is very luxurious and magnificent, full of European classical atmosphere.

Intricately carved and gilded, it features a crown dome at the top of the column, with a bouquet of fluffy ostrich feathers hanging from it, complemented by a noble purple and green silk curtain.

Thump!

Lin Mu sat down on the bed, beckoned to Sophia again, and said with a smile: "Come here!"

Sophia hesitated slightly, but still came to Lin Mu's side and sat down, and then Lin Mu waved his hand and let his two bodyguards retreat.

For a while, there were only two people left in the room, Lin Mu and Sophia.

"Miss Sophia, you said, this was once the residence of the Queen I, you say, has the Queen slept in this bed?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.

"This, maybe, probably possible!" Sophia felt a burst of nervousness for no reason, and Lin Mu grabbed Sophia's palm.

There's calluses, and it looks like he's playing with guns a lot!

Lin Mu's mind moved slightly, but he was still silent, but there was a wicked smile on his face: "Then, Miss Sophia, are you willing to try it with me, is this bed sturdy or not?"

Sophia felt her heartbeat start to pick up.

At this time, Lin Mu's pupils suddenly became deep, like a sea of stars, full of endless charm.

"Would you, would you like to?"

"I do!"
