Chapter 492 Foreigners
The winery is back, Kate is really very surprised.
He even thought that Gu Zheng could not get the winery back. He knew the situation in Europe very well. Since Brown broke the contract and he was a knight, even if Gu Zheng could win the lawsuit, it would take seven or eight years. In such a long time, the winery has long been back in Gu Tran's hands and has nothing to do with him.
But he didn't expect that only one day had passed, or even a whole day, and everything changed again this morning.
"My phone is out of power and I didn't bring a charger!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly explained, Gu Ming looked fierce, and if he didn't explain, he would probably be beaten.
Gu Zheng was naughty when he was young, and he was beaten a lot.
"If there is no charger, I won't buy one. Now there are no chargers!"
Gu Ming's eyes were still wide open. Europe is the same as China, there are places selling chargers and power banks everywhere. It's really a simple phone out of power, which is actually very easy to solve.
"I don't think you have the heart to do that!"
Gu Ming said again. Being scolded by his father, even if Gu Zheng is a cultivator, he can only bow his head and admit it.
Gu Ming scolded for a while, and when he calmed down a little, he urged Gu Zheng to go to the municipal hall to handle the formalities. This time, he must not delay any more. The property rights should be determined as soon as possible, so that there would be no more worries in the future.
The municipal hall was very smooth. After Gu Zheng signed, the ownership was truly in his name. Then, while the iron was hot, Kate took Gu Zheng to the winery association to do the change procedures, so that the winery was completely named Gu.
Foreign associations are different from those in China. Most of them are just a framework in China, but in foreign countries, associations have real power, especially the rating of wineries is done by associations. Without their approval, it is impossible to get a rating.
Fortunately, there is no problem here. In fact, everyone has known that the winery has changed its owner for a long time, but the owner has not come. They have always kept the name of Gutlang. When Gu Zheng came, it was naturally changed.
Gu Ming stayed in the winery for three full days before leaving. This was the longest vacation he could take. After all, it was not a vacation now.
Gu Zheng went directly to the UK. The reason he gave to Gu Ming was to travel in Europe. This reason did not make Gu Ming doubt it. Many Chinese people want to go around and see the exotic customs when they arrive in Europe. Last time, Gu Zheng left in a hurry for other reasons and did not take a closer look. It was normal for him to go this time.
Before Gu Zheng left, Gu Ming also introduced the situation and precautions of various European countries to him and asked Gu Zheng to pay attention to it himself.
"Mr. Gu!"
At the British airport, as soon as Gu Zheng came out, Hao Sen came up. Hao Sen was Sir Brown's man. He received Gu Zheng last time and was sent again this time.
"These are all the documents of Sir Brown's castle. I will take you to handle them. Soon this castle will belong to you!"
After picking up Gu Zheng, Hao Sen said that Gu Zheng had been away for more than two years. He had heard some things about Gu Zheng and knew that his boss was very angry that Gu Zheng had not appeared.
He also knew that his boss decided to breach the contract and cancel the transfer of Gu Zheng Winery, and actually took action, but soon returned it to Gu Zheng and gave Gu Zheng an extra castle.
He didn't know what happened in the middle, but he knew very well that Gu Zheng must have something that his boss liked, otherwise he would never do it, after all, this matter would make Sir Brown look bad.
However, he would not have thought that Sir Brown was afraid of Gu Zheng now, and Gu Zheng was not an ordinary person.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble!"
He was more polite to Haosen Gu Zheng. He was just a staff member, and he couldn't know the inside story. He was just a runner.
The transfer of castles was very fast. There are many historical castles in the UK. Every year, people transfer them. Most of them are people who can't support it. The annual maintenance cost of the castle is not low. The least is 700,000 or 800,000 euros, and the more is several million.
Moreover, British law stipulates that the maintenance of the castle must be given priority. If the owner of the castle does not do the maintenance, the British Castle Association will enforce their property and maintain the castle. Therefore, the market for castles is getting worse year by year, and many are no longer valuable.
This castle of Sir Brown is located outside the city of London. It is in a good location, so it still has a certain value.
Like other castles, they are all in remote places. After completing the formalities, Haosen took Gu Zheng to the castle to receive it. It took two hours to drive out of London.
It is not that the journey is far, but the road conditions are average and the car is not driving fast.
This is a castle with a long history. It has been in Sir Brown's family for hundreds of years. If you trace its construction time, it can be traced back to at least more than a thousand years.
Such a historical castle has higher maintenance costs, but Sir Brown has said before that even if the castle is transferred, all maintenance will be done by him, and Gu Zheng will not be allowed to do it. They have been maintaining this castle for many years and have rich experience.
From a distance, Gu Zheng saw the castle built in the mountains, just like on TV, a typical Western ancient building.
The castle has its own city wall, which is fifteen meters high. This height is already very high. Haosen drove the car to the gate and someone opened the door. There are people living here all year round, all of whom are sent by Sir Brown.
These people also knew that the castle had a new owner and were waiting for the new owner to arrive.
"Mr. Gu, the castle has five parts in total. This is the city wall part..."
Hao Sen was a competent secretary and began to introduce everything about the castle to Gu Zheng. The castle was not big, but it was not small either. After all, many people lived here before.
While walking and introducing, Hao Sen quickly led Gu Zheng to the main hall of the castle.
Standing at the door of the main hall, Gu Zheng looked back inadvertently.
On both sides of the castle, there are two cultivators hiding inside. They are not very strong. They are equivalent to the fifth level of internal strength. Judging from the auras they unnaturally reveal, they are light power and dark power respectively.
It seems that Sir Brown did not lie to him. There are really dark forces and light forces paying attention here, and they have been paying attention. If there are cultivators who really want to come here, as long as they have not reached the realm of immortal cultivators, they will definitely be discovered.
Even if there are masters in the realm of immortal cultivators, if they make any noise here, they will be discovered, and then they will spread the news.
"It's interesting!"
Gu Zheng followed Hao Sen into the main hall, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The reason why Gu Zheng wanted this castle was out of curiosity. Now that he was aware of the person hiding in the secret, his curiosity became even stronger.
"boss!"
There were about ten people standing in the main hall. When Gu Zheng came in, they all bowed and saluted. Sir Brown not only gave the castle to Gu Zheng, but also everything here. From now on, these people will be Gu Zheng's employees.
"Just get busy with whatever you have to do. It's still the same as before, and it will be the same in the future!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand. Some of these people were worried. Some were quite satisfied with the job and were worried that the new boss would have to replace him when he came and he would be in business.
Others are disheartened. They were motivated and thought they would be transferred if they did well here. Now that the entire castle is sold, they are effectively separated from the Brown family and want to be transferred to other Brown family properties. The possibility is gone.
As for the new boss, they only know that he is a Chinese and nothing else.
Everyone left, only Hao Sen and the steward of the castle followed Gu Zheng.
The housekeeper is a seventy-year-old man and an old man of the Brown family. He has always worked in the castle. At least, this old man has been there since Brown can remember. After learning that the castle was given away by Brown, the housekeeper went out of his way to object. It's just that the objection is invalid.
What makes Gu Zheng interesting is that this housekeeper is also a cultivator, but his strength is not very strong, roughly equivalent to the strength of the second level of Neijing.
Even if he only has the second level of inner strength, he is still an extremely powerful master for ordinary people. I don’t know if Brown knows this, but Gu Zheng guesses that Brown is most likely not to know. If he knew, such a master would definitely I will take him with me as a bodyguard instead of staying here as a housekeeper.
Both major forces have hidden surveillance, and there is also a cultivator butler in the castle. This castle is becoming more and more interesting.
The castle is actually not small. It is an ancient castle after all. It took more than an hour to walk around the castle, and I had a comprehensive understanding of the place.
"Mr. Gu, I will stay here for the next few days until you are familiar with everything here!"
After taking Gu Zheng away, Hao Sen said respectfully that this was Sir Brown's arrangement for him.
"Okay, you go and rest first!"
Everything in the castle is actually quite good. After all, Brown has never cut off the maintenance funds here. Everything is better if you have money. All the facilities in the entire castle are well maintained, and some still maintain their medieval characteristics.
Especially some decorative paintings, many of which are old. Although they are not famous paintings, they are still considered antiques and have considerable value. Everything in the castle is now ancient, and Brown did not take away any of them.
His family no longer lives here. In fact, he really doesn’t have anything here, so it doesn’t matter if he gives it all away.
"Boss, what do you want to drink?"
Not long after Gu Zheng returned to the bedroom, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in.
"No need, don't come in again without my instructions!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand gently. He had just taken over the castle and was curious about it. However, except for the cultivators under surveillance and the housekeeper, he had not noticed any other differences.
"Boss, I don't know what's going on between you and Mr. Brown, but this is not a place to make money, nor is it a fun place. I hope you understand!"
The butler did not exit, but raised his head and said something sinisterly.
"Really, Mr. Brown and I have nothing to do with each other, not enough, but I think this is a fun place!"
Gu Zheng stood up, took a deep look at the housekeeper, and then said something with a smile.
He heard the warning in the steward's words, and he was not surprised by the steward's attitude. A place that was not allowed to be touched by other forces suddenly changed its owner. It would be strange if no one made any sign.
It's just that Gu Zheng didn't expect that the housekeeper would take the lead. He thought what the two major forces under surveillance would react.
But this butler is indeed a little strange. His power is neither darkness nor light, nor is it the inner strength cultivation of China, but more like a neutral cultivation.
Unlike the previous Indians, this butler's strength was indeed achieved through his own cultivation and did not rely on the strength of others.
"Sometimes if you don't play well, you will lose your life!"
The housekeeper sighed and turned away. If ordinary people heard what he said, they would definitely have scruples. Even the most curious people would do an investigation. However, Gu Zheng already knew everything, and he was not an ordinary person. The man just smiled and let the housekeeper leave without asking.
"Spirit of the weapon, how is it here? I didn't find any problems just now. Could it be that the dark forces just want to save face and not let the people of the light forces occupy this place?"
After the housekeeper left, Gu Zheng took the initiative to ask the spirit of the weapon. After all, the spirit of the weapon is a top fairy weapon. There are some things he can't find, but the spirit of the weapon can, just like the treasure of the Kongkong Gate found last time.
"No, it's not that simple. There are breaths of other races here!"
The spirit of the weapon responded quickly, and Gu Zheng was slightly stunned. What are other races?
"The prehistoric world is very big. There are not only humans and monsters, but also some other strange races. It's just that these races were finally expelled by humans and monsters and could not stay in the prehistoric world!"
The spirit of the weapon said slowly that these other races have always existed, and there are also some strong ones among them. The spirit of the weapon also heard what Tiexian said, which is actually Lord Tiexian himself, and he doesn't know the specific situation.
According to legend, it was a long time ago, when there was only the prehistoric world, and there was no fairyland. The strongest people at that time were Hongjun and Pangu. There were many races living in the prehistoric world, not only the human race and the demon race, but also many other messy races. For example, there was a powerful race called the witch race.
Later, for some unknown reason, a war broke out between the races. The human race finally won and became the master. The demon race was also left in the prehistoric world because it had cooperated with the human race. Other races, including the witch race, were expelled.
Gu Zheng was not surprised by this. In fact, China has had many ancient novels, all of which have a certain relationship with the prehistoric world.
In the novel, the human race and the demon race fought, and the witch race also fought. In the end, the witch race and the demon race both failed, and the human race won, but the demon race was better, at least it stayed in the prehistoric world, and the witch race was directly expelled.
Even in the novel, Pangu the great god is a witch, but Gu Zheng is not sure how credible these novels are.
"Spirit of the weapon, do you mean that there is the breath of the witch clan here?"
"No, I didn't say that. I only said that there is an outsider. As for whether it is the witch clan, I don't know. You need to investigate. But you have to be careful. No matter which outsider it is, the power is not weak!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Gu Zheng nodded heavily. The races that can live in the prehistoric world must be strong. Gu Zheng doesn't know about other races, but he has a certain understanding of the witch clan. The twelve witch ancestors of the witch clan are all powerful people. They are not as good as the Golden Immortals, and are even stronger than ordinary quasi-saints.
