Three days later, Butler Lutheran handed the completed property rights documents to Claude as he said. From this moment on, Claude also became a small landowner with three hundred acres of woodland. It's just that Butler Lutheran's face is not very good-looking, and he looks very depressed.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so unhappy?" Claude asked.
Butler Lutheran sighed and told Claude the whole story. Although Butler Lutheran completed the matter of Mrs. Maria presenting the cabin to Claude, he failed to accomplish another thing, which was the matter of Mrs. Maria asking him to acquire the real estate in White Deer Town. The clue can even be said to be impossible to complete at all.
Perhaps Madam Maria's impression of White Deer Town was still more than ten years ago, so she raised about three hundred gold crowns and thought that this huge amount of money was enough to purchase half a street of real estate. She asked Butler Lutheran to buy the property facing the street, so that after the royal capital issues the order of Sterling X and announces the plan to develop Bailu Town and build a military port, the property facing the street can be increased by at least three or four times. The fastest and most sought-after one, she thought she could earn nearly a thousand gold crowns at once, so that she would be much more financially comfortable in two or three years.
It was only when the housekeeper Lutheran went through the property transfer procedures at the town office that he discovered that the real estate in the street community of Bailu Town had already increased nearly ten times in the past ten years. It was not like what Mrs. Maria said about twenty or thirty gold crowns. Can buy a building or shop. This more than 300 gold crowns can only buy two double-story houses at most, and it's not even the busiest and most prosperous neighborhood.
The problem is that no one is a fool. From Mr. Morsan and others planning to open a new route to the Navy Department sending two warships to the public dock area, almost everyone is optimistic about the development prospects of White Deer Town. Therefore, none of the owners of the buildings and shops facing the street are willing to sell their properties. At most, they rent them to others for business or accommodation.
Claude laughed: "Did Madam Maria specify where to buy it?"
"That's not true." Butler Lutheran answered honestly. He was loyal, but he was not a good business leader. But Mrs. Maria had no choice. The only person she could trust to bring this huge sum of money to White Deer Town was him.
Claude decided to help him, as a way of thanking Madam Maria for her kindness in gifting him three hundred acres of forest: "Do you have a map of Bailu Town?"
"Yes." Butler Lutheran took out the map from the document bag he carried with him, opened it and placed it on the dining table in front of Claude. There were many marks on the map by Butler Lutheran. It could be seen that he had visited all the busiest streets in Bailu Town, but there was no one suitable for him to buy real estate.
"Give me the pen."
Claude picked up the charcoal pen handed over by Lutheran's butler and drew a big circle in the slum area behind the old street: "I think you can buy real estate here. Three hundred gold crowns is enough to buy in this area." Five or six properties. Then you take the property you bought to the National Bank for mortgage. As Mrs. Maria, you should be able to borrow 80% of the amount. You can continue to use the loaned money. Come and buy the property next to it. If you buy the property in this way, you will get a loan, and the money you get from the loan will be used to buy the property. Soon this area will belong to Madam Maria."
Butler Lutheran was dumbfounded. There was such an operation, but he was not a person who could make prompt decisions. He hesitated for a long time before raising his question: "But, my wife asked me to buy a property facing the street."
"It's simple. If there is no street in this area, why not just build one yourself?" Claude casually drew a stroke on the map: "Look, a new street has appeared. All the real estate in this area has been bought. After that, not only will a street be built, but also shops and buildings facing the street, all of which will be built into four-story apartments. If Madam is sure that the Kingdom will develop Bailu Town and build a naval base, then there is no need to worry about these houses not being sold. , just those naval officers settling here can wipe out all these houses. Especially since this area is so close to the dock, this is their best choice."
"But, but" Butler Lutheran blushed: "Husband, madam, I can't afford that much money to build a house."
"No, Madam is rich, but she doesn't know it." Claude laughed: "What's more,
