Chapter 399: Imprisoned in the dungeon
Subsequently, Zhang Da called Harrison's phone number and asked him to serve as his personal consultant to complete the handover of the castle.
"In addition, Director Harrison, I would also like to ask you to inquire about the current market price of this castle."
"I will, Mr. Chairman." Harrison agreed, "Do you have any other requests?"
"After the handover is completed, please help me keep an eye on potential buyers. I intend to sell this castle." Zhang Da said, "Don't be too anxious about this matter. I am not short of funds, so I hope to sell it at a price that exceeds the market price."
price to sell the castle.”
"I understand, Mr. Chairman," Harrison said. "From what I understand, imitation medieval buildings like Peckton Castle are still quite popular in Europe. Therefore, as long as you remain patient, it is still very popular."
It’s easy to sell at a good price.”
Zhang Da nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter entirely to you."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Chairman!"
After the New Year, Zhang Da received Harrison's return.
"Mr. Chairman, I have completed the handover of the castle! The castle hotel's profit in the past three years totaled 10.1231 million pounds. After financial review, all of it has been transferred to your black gold card account.
The current valuation of this castle hotel by the outside world is 27 million pounds.
In addition, I have already spread the word to the public that the owner of the castle intends to sell this property for no less than 30 million pounds, but no one has contacted me to inquire about the price yet."
Zhang Da smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work!"
Only then did he realize it personally.
The transaction price of 13 million pounds in the contract is such a bargain compared to the value of the castle.
That guy named Peckton Bliss must be a famous prodigal son in the country!
...
"You prodigal son, you bastard! You deserve your name! Tell me honestly, what is going on?"
In the manor of the Brees family, Matt Brees, waving a cane, was furious.
News of the sale of Peckfton Castle has already reached here.
The Bliss family's ancestral property changed owners without his knowledge.
For him, this was as hard to accept as having someone dig up his ancestral grave.
Pekovton Bliss was standing in front of his father dejectedly.
He was still sighing in his heart, paper could not cover the fire after all.
Then, the crutch fell heavily on his head.
"Ah!" Pekovton screamed, "Father, are you crazy?"
"Who is crazy?" Matt poked his son's chest with a cane and said hysterically, "Peckwton Bliss! Please tell me, when I handed over Peckwton Castle to you,
How did you assure me?
How do you pat your chest religiously and promise to run the family's ancestral property better and better, so that everyone in the family and I will be proud of the name 'Pekfton', eh?"
Pekovton said carefully: "Father, please listen to my explanation."
"Shut up!" Matt yelled, "Now, tell me! When did you sell the castle? And to whom did you sell the castle?"
"Three years ago... to be precise, three years and four months ago." Pekovton tried hard to recall, "As for who it was sold to, I really don't know..."
Seeing that Matt's crutch was about to fall again, he quickly waved his hand and said: "That's it, Father! Because I want to sell the castle without telling you, I entrusted the sale of the castle to a corporate services company in Citigroup.
All the sales work was completed by this company, and the only thing I did was sign the prepared contract."
"Three years ago? Great, great!" Matt took a few deep breaths, put down his crutches and asked, "My good son, please tell me now why you sold your ancestral property?"
"I owed a large gambling debt at that time, but I didn't dare to tell you," Peikoff said sternly.
"Aha, so you told me that you entrusted the management of the castle to a third-party company?" Matt poked the floor tiles with his crutch, "So every time we go to stay at Peckington Castle, no one can
Recognize your boss!
No, it should be said that no one can recognize you, you irrelevant little bastard!"
Peikofu blinked his eyes and said, "You are right, father."
"Well, I have to say that in some aspects, you are really a genius!" Matt laughed angrily and waved to call the butler, "Tom, you immediately ask someone to freeze everything in Peckoffton's name.
credit card and find out whether he still owes any foreign debts.
Then, put this kid in a dungeon and starve him for three days and three nights."
Tom, the butler, bowed expressionlessly: "Okay, sir."
"Hey, father, you can't do this. I'm your son?" When he heard that his assets were going to be frozen and imprisoned, Pekovton finally panicked, "I was wrong, I was really wrong! Please forgive me for this.
Just once."
"Forgive you?" Matt looked at his son with a complex expression, "Okay, then tell me first, apart from Pekovton Castle, is there anything else you are hiding from me?"
Peikofu thought for a while and said: "Which one do you want to hear first?"
Matt closed his eyes in pain and waved his hand: "Put him in the dungeon, immediately, immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Tom agreed, he called two bodyguards from the manor and escorted Peckoffton to the dungeon of the manor.
This dark and damp dungeon was last used back in the 1950s.
After leaving a quilt and a lamp for Peckington, Tom returned to Matt:
"gentlemen!"
"Tom, you need to do one more thing!" Matt ordered, "Find out who is selling Peckton Castle, and then bring back the offer from the other party.
I will never allow the ancestral property that symbolizes the history and honor of the Brees family to continue to fall into the hands of outsiders."
...
Domestic, in the conference room of Mingda Group.
Zhang Da and others are discussing how to invest in the VR industry.
Tang Haitao, who proposed the development of the VR industry, said:
"Everyone, there is no need for me to elaborate too much on the prospects of the VR industry. What we want to discuss now is how to hold the development prospects of the VR industry in our hands."
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tang, we can acquire a top domestic VR technology company." Zhang Xiang suggested, "After all, for the group, the most important thing is to master the VR tool. As for the task of researching tools, it is better to leave it to professionals.
Talent management is better.”
"Vice President, I agree with you." Zhang Da said, "Everyone, the VR industry can be applied to Netflix's projects in China, and even to the broadcast of Liverpool team games.
