Chapter 256 Questioning
Xu Youyou looked at the locked door and hesitated for a moment whether to climb over the wall and break through.
But she had too many bodyguards around her, and she was too embarrassed to cross the line in front of everyone.
"Take a few steps back." Xu Youyou ordered the others.
Xu Fang immediately took the lead and stepped back several steps, looking at Xu Youyou with a questioning look, as if asking if it was okay to step back so far.
Only after the group of people retreated twenty meters away did Xu Youyou nod at them from a distance.
Making sure that no one else could hear her, Xu Youyou lowered her voice and said to the lacquer tray, "Ask your old friend how I can take over this castle?"
Before the lacquer tray made any sound, the voice in the castle seemed to have heard Xu Youyou's words and replied, "The Gluck family has no direct relatives alive, and the only heir has never handled the property inheritance. The castle is now ownerless."
Xu Youyou was puzzled: "Why don't you apply for inheritance? Do you think this house is unlucky?"
The gentle voice smiled and said, "That is indeed the reason. People here are now rumoring that this castle is haunted, but the main reason is that the only heir cannot afford the inheritance tax."
Looking at the magnificent and majestic castle in front of her, Xu Youyou could imagine how glorious the Gluck family once was. She never expected that the heir today was so poor that he couldn't even pay the inheritance tax.
"The heiress came over with her lawyer to take a look, and she hasn't yet fully decided whether to inherit the house or give it up, so things have come to a standstill," the gentle voice explained.
Xu Youyou asked: "Hasn't she ever thought about selling it?"
"This is a haunted house. Not many people are willing to buy it, and the price offered is not satisfactory to her."
Xu Youyou suddenly felt that the current desolation of the castle seemed quite reasonable.
"I will try my best to find this heir." Xu Youyou said.
From the perspective of Xu Fang and his followers, Xu Youyou was merely standing outside the gate of the castle courtyard, looking inside. Because her back was turned to the crowd, no one could hear Xu Youyou's whispers clearly.
When Xu Youyou turned around and walked over, before Xu Fang had time to ask, Xu Youyou said directly: "Send someone to contact the owner of this house. I want to buy it and get it done as soon as possible. The price starts at 500,000 euros and caps at 2 million euros. It would be best if it can be done within three days."
Although this castle covers a large area, there are many abandoned castles in Europe, and the price offered by Xu Youyou is already a high premium.
Even in a foreign country, Xu Fang was a very competent assistant. She received feedback in just half a day.
But the result was not satisfactory.
"Boss, the original owner of the house has no direct relatives. The current heir is a young girl in her twenties. She is not in Germany now."
Xu Youyou frowned: "If she's not in Germany, then let her come back. I can pay for her plane ticket."
Xu Fang smiled awkwardly and said, "This girl doesn't have a proper job. She makes a living by dating on the Internet. She is currently on vacation in Hawaii with her boyfriend. She said it was her first time there and she didn't want to come back so soon. She originally planned to come back in ten days, so she wanted you to wait a while."
Xu Youyou's heart paused. The system gave her a ten-day deadline, but three days had already passed. She didn't have that much time.
"Just tell her directly that no matter whether this deal is successful or not, I am willing to compensate her for her travel losses." Xu Youyou had just finished saying this when she suddenly felt that it was not strong enough and changed her words, "Forget it, just compensate her for her travel losses of 100,000 euros."
This time, Xu Fang returned in less than half an hour and brought back good news: "Boss, the other party agreed to return immediately, but the journey is not close."
Xu Youyou nodded: "Tell her to try to get back within three days, all in first class, and I will reimburse her for the airfare."
Xu Fang felt Xu Youyou's eagerness for this real estate transaction, and she had made all preparations for the real estate transaction in Germany. Even the real estate trader was ready in advance, and she even inquired about the working hours of the Real Estate Bureau to ensure that the transaction could be completed immediately when the homeowner arrived.
While waiting for the landlord to arrive, Xu Youyou finally had the opportunity to travel around Germany.
Although this small town is not a particularly famous tourist city, the scenery is quite good. Xu Youyou couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed when she looked at those beautiful colorful houses.
When the homeowner arrived in the town, he was not alone, but brought with him a middle-aged white man in his forties who looked like an elite.
"Hello, I'm Miss Becker's attorney, and I'm representing her in this real estate transaction negotiation." The middle-aged white man claimed to be a lawyer and spoke in English throughout, appearing to be an American.
Xu Youyou has also inquired about the property heiress Miss Becker in the past two days. It’s a bit strange to say, but the last name Becker originally means baker in German.
The original owner of the castle was named Gluck, which means "lucky" in German.
The Gluck family, which symbolized luck, was exterminated, and the family property eventually fell into the hands of the descendants of the baker.
The Miss Becker in front of him had heavy makeup on her face and was dressed very frivolously. She did not look like a well-educated person. The way she and the lawyer exchanged glances also showed that the relationship between the two was not simple.
"There's nothing wrong with hiring a lawyer to provide yourself with an extra layer of protection, but is your lawyer reliable?" Xu Youyou asked with a smile.
Miss Becker was obviously not good at dealing with this kind of situation. She raised her head slightly and said, "Don't try to fool me without the lawyer. Since you want to buy my house, it means that the house is very valuable."
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows. It seemed that these two people were planning to make a fortune from her.
"Tell me your requirements." Xu Youyou said with a chuckle.
The lawyer rolled his eyes and said, "Ten million euros."
Ten million euros, almost one hundred million RMB, is a sheer rip-off to spend so much money to buy a haunted castle in a remote German town.
Xu Youyou stood up and said, "I don't have time to joke with you. Since you don't really want to do business, forget it."
Her decisive attitude of leaving left the two of them dumbfounded.
Miss Becker was so anxious that she chased me out and asked, "You rushed me back from Hawaii in such a hurry to close this deal, and even subsidized my travel expenses. Why are you so reluctant to spend such a small amount of money?"
