There were four vehicles in the convoy that Idaka headed to the eastern suburbs of Paris this time. The black Rolls-Royce sent Dong Lingxi back to Zhaoshi Group. He went there in a spacious and comfortable Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle.
The convoy turned off the main road and moved along the straight four-lane asphalt road. The number of vehicles gradually became scarce along the way. Both sides of the road are beautiful pastoral scenery and various ancient castles.
Located in the Seine-et-Marne department in the eastern suburbs of Paris, it belongs to "Greater Paris". The distance is equivalent to the fifth ring road in Beijing.
The Seine-et-Marne department covers an area of 5,915 square kilometers, accounting for approximately 50% of the entire Paris region. The population is approximately 1.4 million. There are many castles in the Seine-et-Marne department. Among them, the Fontainebleau Palace, Napoleon's palace, is located here.
There are also the Vicon Palace Castle built in the 17th century, the Idyll on the Marne River built in the 18th century, and the Ferrière Castle built in Brie in the 19th century, which is the property of the Rothschild family.
There is also Charles de Gaulle Airport (CharlesdeGaulle, commonly known as Roissy), the third largest airport in Europe. Domestic flights basically take off and land here. Jing Gao came here to see Guo Lingyu off the day before yesterday.
There are also a large number of industrial enterprises here. Coca-Cola, Sony, etc. all have branches here. The secondary and tertiary industries are developed.
"Mr. Jing, we are passing through the center of Peilan Town." Qi Feijun said on the intercom, "To the east from this town is the Tang family's manor, and several Chinese businessmen live here. Straight out of the small town Eight kilometers north of the town is our territory.”
Jing Gao smiled into the intercom and said, "Junzi, this is our territory, that's a good idea!"
Junzi smiled. As the security director, he came over yesterday to survey the terrain and said, "Mr. Jing, there are two ancient castles in disrepair in our territory, one large and one small. There are also three natural villages, and the residents There are about 300 people in total, and they all make a living by farming, mainly growing vegetables and breeding. They all rent your land."
Ouyang Wan suddenly became interested. Instead of discussing the "distribution" of gifts with Qingshuang, she said with a smile: "Brother Jing, you have become a feudal lord now. There are castles and farmers. Next, do you want to do something? Reduce rents and interest rates to win over people’s hearts?”
Junzi paused when he heard Ouyang Wan's voice. How could he not be clear about the relationship between Miss Ouyang and Mr. Jing?
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Let's take a look first!"
As he spoke, the convoy had already entered the land purchased by Jing Gao. This is still the French plain. The endless plains are dotted with fields, ponds, rivers, forests, and villages at the end of the fields.
This makes Jinggao feel like he is patrolling his own territory, and he can have unlimited imagination about this land!
Mudd, capitalism is awesome! Private individuals are actually allowed to own such a large area of land and do whatever they want on this land. It is also possible to develop a large farm and manor economy as we do now.
He wants to take back the land and build a luxurious private manor or even a palace. This is also possible!
If you have money, you can really do whatever you want!
It's not like in China where we still need to restrain ourselves. Once it is known to the public on the Internet that your grandson actually owns 3,000 acres of land and lives in a palace-like villa, everyone will really scream.
Chen Qingshuang saw that Jing Gao was in high spirits, and Dayou couldn't help but gently reminded him: "Brother Jing, I have seen the land deed and the map. The administrative divisions around here belong to Peilan Town. If you want to take root here, you must Replace the mayor, sheriff, and prosecutor with your own people.
David Rothschild also lived in Buri, a suburb of Paris. He even served as mayor of that town. "
Jing Gao said with a smile: "Qingshuang, there is nothing new in the world. This is simply a replica of the emperor's power not going to the countryside." He drank the red wine in the cup.
Chen Qingshuang chuckled and said: "Brother Jing, the point is that you may have to unite with Tang Jinxue. His estate also belongs to Peilan Town. Only by uniting with him can you control all the rights in the town."
She knew very well that Brother Jing was not very satisfied with Tang Jinxue.
Because, before the shooting happened, there was only one Chinese businessman in France, Chu Yunfei, who came to the Pinault family's celebration banquet, and it was not as good as Chen Hanqing, the leader of Chinese businessmen in England.
After the shooting, Tang Jinxue tried to invite Brother Jing to his home, but Brother Jing refused without hesitation.
The thank you banquet organized by the embassy tonight was held at the "Tang Manor", which was obviously the result of Tang Jinxue's operation.
Jing Gao smiled and shook his head, "Qingshuang, that's really unnecessary. The electoral principle of Seine-et-Marne is one person, one vote! It's just a small town. I built my manor and provided a lot of jobs. I I have at least thousands of legal voters in the small town of Peilan, who can elect me?"
He is a powerful man with unlimited cards. Money can solve problems, so there is no need to compromise!
Chen Qingshuang was a little helpless. But this is Brother Jing’s character! He is very kind to others in life, and he is really gentle and considerate to beautiful girls, but he is also a really strong person in times of struggle. There is a feeling of overcoming obstacles.
Ouyang Wan sat in the car chair, holding her cheek with one hand and looking at Jing Gao in confusion.
...
...
Chatting in the car, we soon arrived at a village. The old castle in disrepair is on the east side of the village. Jing Gao used Ouyang Wan as his translator and chatted with a red-faced French peasant woman in the village. He also bought her eggs at a high price and gained her gratitude.
"Brother Jing, Aunt Drayton said thank you. You are welcome to visit her home again." Ouyang Wan translated with a smile, "Her husband and son are out selling things, and I will treat you to a drink next time."
Igao smiled and shook hands with Aunt Drayton. A handshake is a Western etiquette. As for the kiss on the face, forget it. Said: "I will come later."
Saying goodbye to Aunt Drayton, the group walked 500 meters to the old castle that was in disrepair.
"I roughly understand it. The land Arthur Lagardère bought for me is roughly a farm, a farm. There should be three." Jing Gao glanced at the towering Frank-style stone ancient Fort, not very interested.
The "Baron Castle" where he stayed in Bordeaux for three weeks was transformed into modern living conditions by Dong Lingxi, and was served by housekeepers and servants. The aristocratic style of the Middle Ages is time to enjoy. Building an old castle here to live in is too nonsense.
"Youwei, make a note of it and demolish this castle later."
Dong Youwei was the person who specifically took over the matter of purchasing the land. He knew better than Chen Qingshuang. He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Jing, this castle is recognized as a cultural relic by the French government. We cannot touch it casually. Moreover, even if it needs to be repaired, You still have to report it to the relevant departments and wait for approval.
I have read information that the price of this castle on real estate agents is less than 10 euros, but in order to keep it from falling apart, one or two million euros have to be invested in repairs every year. So no one bought it at all.
In order to connect the entire land, the people of the Lagardère Group directly bought the two castles and the surrounding land. "
The repair costs for the two castles were within three to four million euros a year, which was of course a small amount of money for Mr. Jing, so he did not report it directly.
Of course, it hurts me to spend this money. The suggestion given by the secretarial team is that a complete overhaul would cost about 10 million euros and would last for at least several decades.
"It's really troublesome." Jing Gao frowned slightly. He has money, but he is still very sensitive to cost control. After listening to Dong Youwei's report on the secretarial team's plan, he said, "That's okay."
Thinking of something again, he said: "The plains here have a single terrain. There is no fun in hunting! Youwei, please help me find a suitable farm for sale in Russia." He just remembered yesterday. In one book I read, it seems that bear paws are quite delicious. Domestic bears are not allowed to eat, to protect animals. Overseas, you can make it at will!
When it comes to bears and tigers, there are more hairy ones there.
"Okay, Mr. Jing." Dong Youwei agreed, holding a small notebook in his hand to write down.
Seeing that the time was approaching noon, the group had to either return or solve the problem of eating nearby. Dong Youwei made the itinerary, and he had already contacted the Tang family. It's just that it would be hard to mention. He could see that Mr. Jing was not very satisfied with Tang Jinxue, otherwise he would not want to control the power of Peilan Town alone, and would even pay more to recruit residents.
Jing Gao listened to Dong Youwei's words and said, "What's the point? Just go to the Tang family."
