The winery is back, and Kate is really surprised.
He had even thought that Gu Zheng would not be able to get back the winery. 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 not take him seven or eight years.
Perhaps, after such a long period of time, the winery had long been returned to Goutran's hands and had nothing to do with him.
But he didn't expect that after only one day, or to be exact, not even a whole day, everything would change again this morning.
"My phone is out of battery and I didn't bring a charger!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly explained, but Gu Ming looked fierce. If he didn't explain, he might get beaten.
When Gu Zheng was naughty when he was little, he was often beaten.
"If you don't have a charger, you won't buy one. They are not sold anywhere nowadays!"
Gu Ming's eyes were still staring. In Europe, just like in China, there are places selling chargers and power banks everywhere. It's really just a matter of running out of power on your phone, which is actually an easy solution.
"I don't think you have this intention!"
Gu Ming said something again, and when his father scolded him, even if Gu Zheng was an immortal cultivator, he could only bow his head and accept it.
Gu Ming scolded him for a while, and after his anger subsided a little, he urged Gu Zheng to go to the city hall to go through the formalities. There must be no delay this time. If the property rights are determined early, there will be no need to worry about anything in the future.
Things went very smoothly at the city hall. After Gu Zheng signed the signature, the ownership really fell into his name. Then, striking while the iron was hot, Kate took Gu Zheng to the winery association to go through the change procedures, making the winery completely
The surname is Gu.
Foreign associations are different from those in China. Most of them in China are just a shelf, but overseas associations have great power. In particular, wineries are rated by the association. Without their approval, it is impossible to get a rating.
Fortunately, there is no problem here. In fact, everyone has known for a long time that the owner of the winery has changed, but the owner has never come. They have still kept the name Goutran here. Once the ancient dispute comes, it will be changed naturally.
Gu Ming stayed at 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 for Gu Ming was that he was visiting Europe. This reason did not make Gu Ming suspicious. Many Chinese people wanted to go around and see the exotic customs when they arrived in Europe. Last time Gu Zheng had other reasons.
The reason was that I left in a hurry and didn't take a closer look. It was normal to go visit this time.
Before Gu Zheng left, Gu Ming also introduced him to the situation and precautions in various European countries, asking Gu Zheng to pay attention to it himself.
"Mr. Gu!"
At the British airport, as soon as Gu Zheng came out, Hao Sen came over. Hao Sen was Sir Brown's man. He had received Gu Zheng last time, and he was sent here again this time.
"These are all the documents for Sir Brown's Castle. I will take you to handle them. Soon this castle will belong to you!"
Following Gu Zheng, Hao Sen added that Gu Zheng had not been here for more than two years. He had heard a bit about Gu Zheng, and he also knew that his boss was very angry that Gu Zheng had not shown up.
He also knew that his boss decided to cancel the transfer of Guzheng Winery in breach of contract and actually took action, but soon returned it to Guzheng and gave Guzheng an extra castle.
He didn't know what happened in the meantime, but he knew very well that Gu Zheng must have something that caught his boss's fancy, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to do it. After all, this matter would make Sir Brown look very ugly.
However, he would not have thought that Sir Brown is now afraid of Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng is not an ordinary person.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you!"
I'm being polite to Hao Sen Guzheng. He's just a staff member. Besides, he can't know the inside story. He's just an errand boy.
The transfer of castles is very fast. There are many historical castles in the UK. People transfer them every year, mostly to people who can't afford it. The annual maintenance cost of the castle is not low. Some castles cost less than 7 to 8 million euros, and more
It costs millions.
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 of the castle is now worse than every year.
After one year, many of them are no longer valuable.
Sir Brown's castle is located just outside London. The location is considered good, so it still has a certain value.
Like other castles, they were all in remote places. After completing the formalities, Hao Sen took Gu Zheng to the castle to receive them. After leaving London, it took two hours of driving to arrive.
It's not that the distance is long, but that the road conditions are average and the car doesn't drive very fast.
This is an old castle with a long history. It has been in the Sir Brown family for hundreds of years. If we trace back its construction time, it can be traced back at least more than a thousand years.
The maintenance cost of such a historical castle is higher, but Sir Brown has said before that even if the castle is transferred, all the maintenance will be done by him, and he will not let Gu Zheng do it. They are approaching this castle
It has been maintained for many years and has rich experience.
From a distance, Gu Zheng saw an ancient castle built in the mountains. It was the same typical Western ancient building as on TV.
The castle has its own city wall, which is fifteen meters high. This height is considered very high. Hao Sen drove the car to the gate, and someone opened the door inside. There are people living here all year round, and they are all from the Sir Brown faction.
People who come.
These people also knew that the castle had changed its 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 in the past.
Making introductions as they walked, 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 really cultivators who 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.
"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. They were worried that when the new boss came, he would have to replace them and they 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 he is also 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.
Just objecting 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 me 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 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 would you like 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 where you can make money, nor is it a fun place. I hope you understand!"
The butler did not exit, but raised his head and said something sinister.
"Really, Mr. Brown and I have nothing to do with each other, 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 butler's words, and he was not surprised by the butler'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, and he thought what the two major forces under surveillance would react.
However, this butler is indeed a little strange. His power is neither darkness nor light, nor is it the Chinese kind of inner strength cultivation. It is 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 to leave. 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 any questions.
"Qi Ling, how are you here? I didn't find any problems just now. Could it be that the dark forces are just trying to save face and not allow people from the light forces to occupy this place?"
After the housekeeper left, Gu Zheng took the initiative to ask the weapon spirit. After all, the weapon spirit was a top-notch immortal weapon. There were some things that he couldn't find, but the weapon spirit could, just like the Kongkongmen treasure he discovered last time.
"No, it's not that simple. There is the smell of other races here!"
Qi Ling responded quickly, while Gu Zheng was slightly stunned. Other races, what are these?
"The prehistoric era is huge. It's not just humans, monsters, but also some other strange races. It's just that these races were expelled by humans and demons in the end and couldn't stay in the prehistoric world!"
Qi Ling said slowly, these other races have always existed, and there are some strong people among them. Qi Ling also heard what Tiexian said, but it was actually Lord Tiexian himself, and he didn't know the specific situation.
According to legend, it was still very early in the prehistoric era. There was only the prehistoric world and no fairyland. The strongest people at that time were Hongjun and the great god Pangu. At that time, there were many races living in the prehistoric world, not only the human race, the demon race, but also many other kinds of chaos.
Races, for example, there was a powerful race at that time called the Wu Clan.
Later, for unknown reasons, a war broke out between the various races. The human race finally won and became the master. The demon race was also left in the wilderness because of its cooperation with the human race. Other races, including the witch race, were expelled.
This point about Ancient Zheng is not unexpected. In fact, there have been many ancient novels in China, all of which have a certain relationship with the prehistoric times.
In the novel, the humans and demons fought, and so did the witches. In the end, both the witches and demons failed, and the humans won. However, the demons were better, at least they stayed in the wilderness, while the witches were directly expelled.
Even in the novels, the great god Pangu is a witch tribe, but it is not clear how credible these novels are.
"Qi Ling, you mean, there is the aura of the witch clan here?"
"No, I didn't say that. I only said that there are foreign races. I don't know whether it is the Witch Clan or not. I still need you to investigate, but you have to be careful. No matter which foreign race is, they are not weak!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Gu Zheng focused his head. The races that could live in the prehistoric times were definitely not weak in strength. Gu Zheng didn’t know about other races, but the Wu Clan still had a certain understanding. All of the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu Clan were all powerful.
Even Daluo Jinxian is not comparable to him, and is even stronger than the average quasi-sage.
