Harry Potter and Master of Magic

"Pick me! Sir, I can do a lot, and I eat less."

"Still choose me! Although I eat a lot, I will eat more."

"Master, you still choose me! I am the most loyal!"

These elves were extremely enthusiastic, Zhang Hao was dizzy due to the noise, and he could only choose ten of them at random.

The little elves who were not selected were very disappointed, as if they had taken advantage of a heaven-sent opportunity.

Zhang Hao said to Bob, "I'll pay you the deposit first, and let them go after I buy the castle."

"Of course no problem, sir." Bob said flatteringly, "As long as you confirm the address, we will send them to you as quickly as possible."

Zhang Hao nodded, and explained a few words casually, then turned and left with Zhang Qiu.

After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Zhang Hao immediately used resources to find castles for sale in the UK.

The Christmas holiday is only two days away, and buying a castle requires certain procedures.

This process may take more than ten days to several months. It can be completed within two days, but it will cost a lot of money.

For Zhang Hao, it doesn't hurt to spend worldly money.

If you can save time, what's the point of spending more money?

That afternoon, a thick paper report was sent to Zhang Hao.

He took a closer look and found that there are currently hundreds of castles for sale in the UK.

These castles range from tens of thousands of square feet to hundreds of thousands of square feet.

The price also varies, the cheap price is only hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the expensive price is hundreds of millions of pounds.

With Zhang Hao's current financial resources, it seems to be no problem to buy any of them.

He chose from hundreds of castles without any pressure, and Zhang Qiu was also on the side of the staff.

"Oh? Cousin, what do you think of this castle? It's so beautiful!"

"Yeah! This one is also very good, and the garden is so beautiful!"

"Look here, the statue of this castle is very good, and the decoration is gorgeous. Why don't you buy it?"

"Well! This castle has ghosts, maybe the price will be lower."

...

Zhang Hao got a headache from Zhang Qiu's arguing, and in order to avoid it, he chose a random one with a similar price.

"Just this one!" He took out a photo and compared the information: "Collinsville Castle, located in Staffordshire, covers an area of ​​80,000 square meters."

Zhang Qiu picked up the document and looked at it, and said happily: "Okay! This castle is really good, but the price is a bit expensive! It costs five million pounds!"

Five million pounds, equivalent to more than 43 million RMB.

If you are in a hurry, the price may be higher.

The price is indeed a little high, but not unacceptable.

Zhang Hao immediately contacted the seller of the castle, and they agreed to meet at the castle the next morning.

The distance from London to Stafford is nearly 200 kilometers, either by train or by car, and it will be back in two days.

Zhang Hao thought about it and decided to drive to Stafford.

He thought to himself that after buying the castle, maybe he should go to the Ministry of Magic to connect to the Floo network.

This is another expense!

Since we agreed to meet tomorrow morning, we must leave as soon as possible tonight.

"Cousin, why don't you take me with you!" Zhang Qiu whispered, "Maybe I can help you bargain?"

"Just you?" Zhang Hao doubted: "You turn into a quail when you see a stranger, and you still haggle?"

Zhang Qiu was furious, got up and chased after Zhang Hao!

...

The next day, Zhang Hao met Mr. Smith Charlie, the sales agent of Collinsville Castle.

Collinsville Castle is currently owned by a British real estate company, and Smith Charlie is a manager of the company.

As a professional manager, Smith Charlie, of course, does some research on clients before doing business.

He already knew who he was going to do business with in advance, and he also knew the general information about Zhang Hao.

After seeing Zhang Hao, he was still shocked.

"Oh! My God! Dear Mr. Zhang, I still can't believe that there is a genius like you in this world! I'm so happy to meet you!"

Not only Charlie, but the entourage behind him also uttered the same admiration.

This world is so realistic, when a person is down, few people are willing to look at him more.

But when a person reaches the peak, words of praise may be heard everywhere.

"I'm also very happy to meet you, Mr. Charlie." Zhang Hao smiled reservedly: "In order not to waste each other's time, let's get to the point!"

"Great!" Charlie said happily: "I like to communicate with straightforward people like you! Then, please let me explain to you the prerequisites for buying a castle."

"Please say it!" Zhang Hao nodded.

Charlie opened a document and read according to the text on it: "Anyone who acquires the ownership of the castle must shoulder the responsibility of repairing the castle. If the purchaser of the castle refuses to repair the castle, or maliciously destroys the castle, the British government will have the right to take back the castle. Ownership...Once the ownership of the castle is recovered, the purchaser will forever lose the qualification to purchase the castle. Mr. Zhang, do you have any questions?"

There are many precautions for buying castles, which are also the rules of the castle trading industry in various countries.

After all, the castle is also an antique, and it is also a material cultural heritage to the world.

Zhang Hao understands all of these, and doesn't think the castle will be destroyed by his hands.

With elves taking care of it, the repair work of the castle is probably not difficult.

This can be seen from the current state of Hogwarts.

Hogwarts is bigger than Collinsville and has suffered more damage.

"Mr. Charlie, there is no problem with these." Zhang Hao asked with a smile: "I just want to know, when can I live in the castle?"

"Uh! Mr. Zhang, you are a little too urgent." Charlie spread his hands and said, "It will take at least fifteen days to complete all the formalities."

"I hope I can live in this castle tomorrow. How much does it cost?" Zhang Hao said arrogantly: "I know you must have a solution, so please don't make excuses."

"Okay! I can try it for you." Charlie spread his hands and said helplessly: "I need to discuss with the boss, maybe I can let you live in before tomorrow night."

"Then do it as soon as possible! I'll wait for you in the castle." Zhang Hao said casually: "I think, I can visit it inside?"

"Oh! Of course!" Charlie said quickly: "This is your right as a buyer, please feel free."

The castle is equipped with English-style palace butlers, as well as gardeners, cleaners, and security personnel.

In short, although the castle is old, it is not unpopular.

Accompanied by the housekeeper, Zhang Hao took a good tour of the castle inside and out.

The castle has beautiful gardens and lakes, as well as five converted towers.

There are more than 60 suites in the castle, large carved fireplaces, period furniture, quaint oak floors...

There is elegance everywhere, and every room feels like you've been transported back to the Middle Ages.

The real estate company seems to have remodeled the castle to a certain extent. In addition to the elegant suites, the castle also has a horse farm, a billiard room, an indoor game room, a workshop, a gym, a library, an orangery, a dungeon...

A modern water and electricity system is also installed, and the living facilities are no worse than high-end villas.

The longer he stayed in the castle, the more Zhang Hao liked the castle.

Just imagine life in a castle for a little while, and a sense of superiority arises spontaneously!

"What is the vast villa in the north? Can you live comfortably in my ancient castle?"
