Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 820 Compensation
"This was originally a castle belonging to an Italian count, but after World War II, as the Italian royal family stepped down and the Kingdom of Italy became the Italian Republic, the count also followed the king and left the country, and the castle was naturally abandoned."

Vice President John of Rose Cross told Liang En about the origin of this real estate. According to him, he only paid 210 million euros when he bought this real estate.

"We bought these at a charity auction. We bought them because there were some mysterious symbols and sculptures carved in the castle."

The real estate tax in Europe and the United States has always been a headache, especially for such a large area of ​​land. The annual real estate tax is not a small figure.

Therefore, for the vast majority of the current down-and-out nobles, even if they are tossed into bankruptcy, it is impossible to pay real estate taxes to afford a house. The only way out is to sell their ancestral property.

Therefore, people can often find real estate sold by rich people or nobles at auctions, but in most cases few people can afford these things.

Or to be precise, it may not cost much to buy these lands and real estate, but it is another matter to be able to afford these lands and houses, at least most people in this world cannot.

"Oh, that sounds good. Then what did you find inside?" Liang En was aroused after listening to John's story about the origin of these houses and the abnormalities in them. After all, such abnormalities often represent extraordinary things. Discover.

"There is nothing. Although the castle is original, it is probably just a military castle of a small nobleman in the past, so we didn't find anything of value inside." John shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, if there were any important discoveries, he would definitely keep the castle in his own hands instead of taking it out as compensation now.

The construction area of ​​this castle is only more than 600 square meters, and there is only a two-story main building connected with the main tower. However, the long ramps and the walls built with irregular large stones show that this is indeed a medieval military fortress.

There are many such military fortresses throughout Italy. After all, during the long millennium from the late Western Roman Empire to the unification of Italy in the [-]th century, wars in this land have never stopped.

However, these wars were just small-scale wars, they were real village battles, so castles like this, which looked more like gun towers in Liang En's eyes, were quite popular in Italy.

From the perspective of pure warfare, this castle can only be regarded as a simple armed stronghold, and it doesn't have much value, but for the current Liang En, this small castle also has the benefits of a small castle.

One of the biggest advantages is that the tax of the castle itself is relatively low, and this area is more suitable for living in a situation where there are not many people.

Therefore, compared with those big castles, castles of this size are more popular in today's market, and the real occupancy rate is also significantly higher.

At least from most of the Internet media now, the protagonists of the news about the revival of ancient castles are often this kind of small castles that were inconspicuous in ancient times.

It is a pity that judging from the interior of the room that was photographed, this room has not undergone any large-scale renovations, so the interior is obviously a bit quaint.

Of course, this simple is a very artistic term. Whether it is an old toilet with white tiles or an uneven wall that is obviously just a layer of putty, Liang En knows that it must be a must if he wants to live in this kind of place. To be remodeled.

In addition to the castle itself, the entire island of more than 67 hectares is bundled with the castle, but these lands are woodlands that cannot be changed.

Fortunately, although the income of this kind of woodland is not high, the advantage is that the tax is not high, so if you balance the two, you will find that it is not unprofitable to buy this castle.

At least this castle is only more than 20 kilometers away from Naples. At the same time, it is located on an island with a relatively famous lake, and there is even a small pier. It is still necessary to develop the basic environment for travel.

It's just that the number of such ancient buildings around Naples is not small, so even if the nobleman develops tourism, he can barely make ends meet.

Perhaps for an ordinary working class, it is a very good thing to have such a castle to support their families, but for an earl, it is really a bit of a shame to earn 60000 euros a year. deficit.

This is why the earl chose to sell his main property, because he found that if he devoted the energy of taking care of the castle to other jobs, he could obviously earn more.

"This castle and the associated land are really good, maybe I can find something from it." After reading the list of all compensations, Liang En nodded to the other party and said.

After checking the list of reparations, he found that there were indeed many valuable things on the list, such as stocks, gold and antiques, but the most eye-catching thing was this castle.

Liang En didn't dare to ignore his own feeling, because his extraordinary strength gradually became stronger.He could feel some special revelation in the dark.

So since this kind of revelation tells him that this castle is very important, he will definitely put his main energy on this castle. After all, even if these choices are not good for him, they will not cause too much loss.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it for you, whether it's legal fees or taxes." After hearing Liang En's choice, President John who was opposite seemed to heave a long sigh of relief.

This is mainly because they have already done a lot of psychological construction in terms of compensation after they learned that the leak on their side almost caused the death of the core personnel of the next generation of Golden Dawn, and they were even prepared to lose a lot of blood in their wallets.

That's why when Liang En made a very suitable compensation request, they showed an obviously relaxed expression like this.

But in fact, their thinking is completely scaring themselves, because this compensation is not just a kind of compensation for individuals, but it is about the relationship between the two organizations, but the matter between the two organizations.

That is to say, in this case, the compensation needs to correspond to the loss, and being greedy for petty gain will definitely suffer a big loss, so Liang En simply chose to use the information asymmetry to choose this compensation that seems to be at most medium in the eyes of the other party.

After all, although the Rosicrucian organization is more partial than the Golden Dawn, and the average level of personnel is also lower, the huge advantage in numbers makes them still a very powerful organization.

Considering the relationship between the two organizations for more than a hundred years, even reasonable compensation is the most important thing. This is naturally the most important issue for Liang En at this time.

Now Liang En's approach just happened to comply with a series of rules in this regard, and it can be said to perfectly solve the series of problems caused by the mistake of the rose cross.
