Countless wealthy individuals and prominent families across Europe were shocked by this news!
The change of ownership of Château de la Villecomte, one of the top private castles in Europe and the largest in France, is already a major piece of news that has shaken the elite circles of Europe.
What's even more outrageous is that the person who bought the Vallée-Vicomte Castle was neither a local European nobleman nor a big shot.
He is a Chinese.
With this condition added, these people in Europe's top circles were not just shocked, they were horrified!
A Chinese person from so far away actually stood out from their competition, crushing these ancient nobles and now top tycoons, and got his hands on the Vallée-Viconte Castle.
They felt utterly ashamed.
At the same time, they were also extremely curious about the Chinese man who bought the Vallée-Viconte Castle.
In an instant, many prominent families in Europe began to investigate.
Meanwhile, the Wittelsbach family also learned of this news.
The current head of the Wittelsbach family, who is also Caroline's grandfather, was extremely surprised.
He also coveted the Vallée-Viconte Castle.
Their family once owned several castles that were no less impressive than Vallée-Vicomte Castle, some of which were even more luxurious and grand.
Unfortunately, these castles no longer belong to them, but to the local country.
Old Wittelsbach also wanted to build a historic castle to maintain the family's prestige and perpetuate their family's glory.
Vallée-Vicomte Castle is one of the best choices.
He had spoken with the former owner of Vallée-Vicomte Castle more than once.
Unfortunately, he was rejected multiple times, and he thought Patrice would never sell the Castle of Wallevicont.
But who could have imagined that he would sell the largest private castle in France, and to a stranger?
I don't understand.
Just as old Wittelsbach was wondering what was going on, Caroline suddenly made a video call.
Old Wittelsbach wasn't surprised by his granddaughter's video call.
Every month, his granddaughter would take the initiative to make a video call to report to him on the family business in the Middle East.
Caroline was his most beloved and favored granddaughter, and he always placed high hopes on her.
Sure enough, his granddaughter did not disappoint him.
In just one year in the Middle East, they saved their nearly bankrupt Middle Eastern business and even helped it grow and thrive.
When the elder Wittelsbach answered the video call, Caroline's stunning face appeared on the other end.
The grandfather and granddaughter chatted about family matters for a while, and then Caroline took out documents to report to her grandfather on the family's business intelligence in the Middle East.
This included her idea of splitting the profits with Ye Chen 60/40 and developing the new oil field together.
Caroline wanted to ask her grandfather if he agreed with her actions.
Old Wittelsbach thought for a moment, then waved his hand:
"Just do as you wish. You will be in charge of the family's business in the Middle East. Whatever you want to do about this, Grandpa will support you."
"If there are any objections within the family, Grandpa will back you up."
Actually, the elder Wittelsbach had some objections.
A 60/40 split is too small; it would be best to change it to a 50/50 split to maximize the family's profits.
But on second thought, old Wittelsbach still supported his granddaughter's idea.
It's a way of raising my granddaughter.
After discussing business, the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while longer.
During this process, old Wittelsbach told his granddaughter Caroline about what he had just learned: that the Völlerviconte Castle had been bought by a Chinese man.
Old Wittelsbach was also curious about who the Chinese man who bought the Völler-Viconte Castle was; he wanted to meet him.
This Chinese man accomplished what even the wealthiest and most powerful families in Europe couldn't do. He is absolutely amazing.
Worth befriending.
"Grandpa, let me inquire about this matter."
Caroline thought for a moment and then answered.
Her curiosity was piqued.
“Grandpa, didn’t I just tell you that we were going to cooperate with Ye Chen to develop a new oil field? Ye Chen is Chinese.”
“Buying the Vallée Conte Castle is no small matter. As fellow Chinese, I think Ye Chen should know this. I’ll go and inquire about it.”
Caroline figured that Ye Chen, being a fellow Chinese, must have heard about this as well.
Since Grandpa was so eager to get to know the other person, she asked Mr. Ye for help.
Even if Mr. Ye doesn't have the opportunity to come into contact with such top figures, the Chinese people should have heard some news about him.
After exchanging a few more words with her grandfather, Caroline hung up the phone.
After thinking for a moment, Caroline took the initiative to call Ye Chen.
Let's hope that Mr. Ye knows or has some connection with the important Chinese figure who bought the Vallée-Vicomte Castle.
When the call connected, Caroline exchanged pleasantries, mentioning that she had also heard about the Ibrahim family losing ten tons of gold to Ye Chen.
“Mr. Ye, the local families like the Ibrahim family are unlikely to give up. Please be careful.”
Caroline kindly reminded Ye Chen.
She had been in the Middle East for some time and knew a bit about these large families.
"OK, thanks."
Ye Chen replied politely.
He had thought of that too.
"By the way, Mr. Ye, a major event happened in Europe not long ago."
"It's said that the largest privately owned castle in France, Château de la Ville-Conte, has been bought by a Chinese person. I wonder if it's true?"
Caroline spoke.
She was too embarrassed to ask Ye Chen directly, so she tried to find out indirectly whether Ye Chen knew about it.
If Mr. Ye didn't know, then she wouldn't ask who that powerful figure from China was, so as not to embarrass Mr. Ye by not knowing.
If Mr. Ye knows, then she will ask him.
"It's not a rumor, it's true, and it was bought in the early hours of this morning."
Ye Chen gave a definite answer.
Bought it this morning?!
Even my grandfather didn't know this detail, and I doubt many people in all of Europe would know it either.
How does Mr. Ye know so much about this?
Caroline asked:
"Mr. Ye, how do you know so much detail? Do you know that Chinese tycoon who bought the Vallée-Vicomte Castle?!"
