Chapter 144: Deal (2/2)
”Golden-Horse trading company?” Sam said.
”Oh, since you are already familiar with this name, I don't have to explain much. This company deals with all kinds of trade within the Southern star city and they have almost all kinds of businesses, even the four main profession towers also cooperate with them.
The place I am about to show is also a collaboration project between them and us.”
They went in and were led by an attendant to a meeting room, within five minutes, another middle-aged man came inside the room. He came in rather frantically and after greeting Ford, he asked Sam.
”Sir, are you sure those are your only requirements?”
Sam just nodded his head and the other guy seemed to be ecstatic.
”We will go right now.”
Again, after another carriage journey.
Even though, the Central zone is the inner most part of the city, it is the largest of all three. It is twice the size of both inner and outer cities combined. But the population is not even one tenth of both inner and outer cities.
Because the whole place mostly has a lot of free land which are given to nobility and the other citizens as rewards for their contribution.
There is still more than half of the land in the zone which is empty and Duke will employ the Golden-horse trading to create the mansions now and then to gift the people with enough merits.
Sam and the rest arrived at a large estate. When Sam this he was surprised. It is actually an estate. He didn't think that they would show him an estate instead on mansion.
”Sir, that is the Estate of the General Spark.”The middle-aged manager whose name is Cane said as he pointed at the estate opposite to them.
Then he continued with his explanations.
”Actually, our current estate also belongs to General Spark. He decided to see it because he has some urgent need for a large amount of money.”
When Sam heard that the estate belongs to General spark, he was happy.
Since, this old man purposefully made things difficult to him and did not let Watt stay with them, he might have even made some arrangements to make sure that they won't get any accommodations.
If he can get normal accommodations in an inn what is the point of him making all the fuss and letting him go out.
But now, if he knew that Sam is buying his very estate, he is wondering how that Old general would react.
When they entered though, Sam was stunned.
It is not your every day estate.
There is a lot of greenery in it but it is not the type of greenery came with tree, rather a translucent green crystal-like stone was all over the estate, rather than saying that it is all over it, it is more appropriate to say that it is made of that stone.
Sam didn't say anything, he just waited for these middle-aged men to speak. After they walked deep inside the crystalline land, they saw a large mansion.
The place around the mansion does have required scenery and the plants and tree along with a garden. But it is only for that space, the rest of the land is full of crystals.
Both middle-aged men, exchanged a glance and Ford explained.
”Artisan Sam, I would be blunt with you. The thing is General Spark got this land as a reward and but the main problem is, he didn't care about it when it was given and some nobles and officials set up a trap to get rid of this land.
But now that he needs some money, he suddenly remembered this land which doesn't have any value.
You might not no, these green crystals are called impact crystals. These react under any physical force and starts absorbing the surrounding energy, but if the energy crosses the limit, the crystal explodes.
So, it is hard to clear the land and there are not many uses with these crystals to mine them carefully.
But General started acting stubbornly and we don't have a choice to oppose him. We made a lot of effort to make this one mansion here.
Don't worry though, we won't let you suffer a loss.
Generally, a mansion of this size will cost 30 million in Southern star central zone and this estate even though a waste is almost as big as the size of estate of the Duke Family's. It is the second biggest estate with more than 1000 acres of land.
If you want to buy an estate of this size you would have to pay at least 1 billion.
But the land is barren and complete waste, so the General didn't ask much. All he needs is the 30 million for the mansion and another 120 million for the whole land.”
At this point, Sam only had one thing to say.
”Deal.”
