"As a matter of fact, you can see that the land in the Sunset Territory is very fertile, the scenery is beautiful, and the location is also very good - behind it is the famous Twin Lakes. If this territory is developed well and developed as a small town, then maybe it will be Next Queenstown." Charlie said with regret.

Wang Bo is even more regretful. He would be happy if the Roberts family turned the territory into an excellent town. Inheriting a mature town is much better than a piece of wasteland.

He had already understood on the way that because this was a noble domain and not simply personal land, he did not need to pay a cent of inheritance tax to the New Zealand government when receiving this land. In other words, he got a thousand square kilometers of fertile land and the inheritance of a nobleman without spending a penny!

Charlie shrugged and said: "Maybe it's just hundreds of thousands of bad debts, nothing else. Jazz's economic situation in his later years was not good. In fact, the last two or three generations of the Roberts family only guarded a piece of territory, and they didn't have much money."

After hovering over the territory where the sun never sets for a while, the helicopter flew away. Charlie wanted to take Wang Bo to the court in Omarama City to sign for the inheritance, otherwise it would be illegal for them to stay here. Because this land does not currently belong to Wang Bo, and New Zealand values the sanctity of private property, they cannot enter other people's private land.

Omarama City is a small city with a population of only twenty to thirty thousand. It can be said to be a larger town. In fact, except for a few big cities, New Zealand has a very small population.

This small town is the closest city across the border from where the sun never sets. Wang Bo asked if there are any procedures required to sign for the inheritance. Charlie replied that it only needs to be reviewed by the court, because he does not have to pay inheritance tax and does not need the tax bureau to intervene. In this way, as long as the court verifies With his identity, he can get this inheritance.

"I am Chinese, not New Zealander, can I still receive inheritance?" Wang Bo asked in surprise.

Charlie nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Without a doubt, yes. What does receiving the inheritance have to do with whether you are a New Zealander or not? Besides, you are just receiving a piece of wasteland. Foreigners can buy real estate in New Zealand at will, let alone a piece of wasteland."

The Sun Never Sets Territory is adjacent to the city of Omarama, which is a city in the northwest of the Canterbury region.

From the map, the South Island of New Zealand is mainly divided into the Marlborough Region, Canterbury Region, Otago Region, Western Region and Southern Region. The Sun Never Sets is administratively located in the Otago Region. In fact, it is in the Otago Region. A no-holds-barred zone spanning the Otago region, the Western Hills and Canterbury.

The distance from the castle to Omarama City is about a hundred kilometers, and the helicopter will fly there quickly.

Wang Bo overlooked this small town from the air. Except for the relatively large number of British-style buildings in the city, it was no different from small counties in China. The number of people was even smaller and the buildings were shorter.

The helicopter landed at the court, but it was already late and the court was off duty. Charlie arranged a room in a hotel for him, and then mysteriously said that he had something to discuss with him.

After closing the door, Charlie said: "King, I have to remind you that if you accept Sir Roberts' inheritance, you will be responsible for the sun never sets, such as maintaining the castle. You should know how to maintain an ancient castle. How much material, manpower and financial resources are needed?”

After hearing this, Wang Bo was suddenly shocked. He remembered the news he had read before, saying that there were some medieval castles in Europe that were sold at low prices but no one bought them because they had to be maintained after buying them. The cost of maintaining a castle was too high, even the rich could not afford it.

Seeing this, Charlie suddenly showed a warm smile. He went over and put his arm around Wang Bo's shoulders and said: "Wang, my man, although we have known each other for a short time, as the saying goes, our heads are as new as new and our heads are as old as before. I feel that we Have you ever felt like love at first sight?"

"Love at first sight?" Wang Bo suddenly felt his anus tighten, and his face was full of horror.

Charlie was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sneer: "Sorry, man, I used the wrong word. It should be that we fell in love at first sight, right?"

Wang Bo looked at him warily. He didn't believe this guy's words. Charlie even knew the obscure idioms like "white head as new, heart as old as before", so how could he still not be able to distinguish between "love at first sight" and "feeling like old friends at first sight"

"Just tell me what you want to do." Lao Wang held up his waistband with both hands, "I'm telling you, I'm not interested in homosexuality. If you want to use your inheritance to seduce me and get my body..."

He hesitated, that thousand square kilometers of fertile soil, that majestic castle, which one is more important, or his own chastity? Why don't you let your chastity and moral integrity suffer

Charlie did not hesitate. He pushed Wang Bo away and said angrily: "Are you kidding me? Well, let me tell you straight. I suggest you change the Sun Never Sets Territory from a private domain to a national town. The land It still belongs to you, everything above it and everything below it belongs to you, but you belong to the country."

Wang Bo looked at him doubtfully, his mind quickly digesting the news, and then slowly said: "Do you mean to ask me to submit to the New Zealand government, or does your government want to recruit me?"

Charlie nodded and said: "Yes, you form a town on private land and you become the mayor. In this way, the government can allocate funds to your town every year, and you can use these funds to maintain the castle and develop the territory."

Wang Bo asked hesitantly: "If we proceed as you said, how much money can the government allocate each year?"

Charlie said: "At least two million New Zealand dollars, converted into RMB, ten million!"

New Zealand dollar is the abbreviation of New Zealand currency. Because the English name of New Zealand is nd, the transliteration is New Zealand, so the English abbreviation of the currency is New Zealand dollar.

"So much?" Wang Bo was a little unbelievable for a moment, "Ten million? Government funding? And I can be the mayor? I am a Chinese citizen! Why do I feel so unreliable about what you are talking about!"

Charlie patted him on the shoulder and said: "Of course, if you choose to be the mayor of a newly established town in the territory, you will have to change your nationality. As for the allocation and your position, there is no doubt about it. We will sign an agreement and an employment agreement. !”

After listening to his words, Wang Bo thought for a while, but still felt a little unbelievable.

Before coming to New Zealand, he checked the country's information. He knew that New Zealand's civil servants are employed and publicly elected. For example, the mayor, mayor and prime minister are all elected by citizens. Ordinary civil servant positions are either appointed by the parliament or submitted to the government. Public recruitment.

New Zealand's civil servants are worthless, but it's a bit of a joke to be able to appoint a town mayor, right

Charlie saw his doubts and said: "To be honest, man, the Sun Never Sets Territory is the last aristocratic territory in New Zealand. It does not accept the rule of the government in name. To the guys in Parliament, it is like a long face." He has vitiligo, which is very embarrassing. He has long wanted to take back this territory. But no, you don’t know what a stubborn and conservative old man Sir Roberts is! His territory is like his trousers, and he will never allow others to come. Get involved!"

"My trousers are not allowed either." Wang Bo tightened his belt a little tighter.

He always felt that Charlie was coveting his beauty. Although he didn't look very good, who could guarantee that the aesthetics of white people and yellow people were the same? Even if the aesthetics are the same, there are still some people who like to eat crooked melons, split dates, rotten peaches and apricots.

Charlie nodded: "Yes, but I think for you, this territory is at most your coat, not your pants. So what I mean is, print a company logo on the coat and you can get a copy Endorsement fees, isn’t this a good thing?”.

This metaphor is very appropriate. Wang Bo asked: "I allow the territory to build a new town, and then I can become the mayor? Is the government willing to allocate funds to me to maintain the castle? Will it not kick me away afterwards?"

Charlie smiled and said: "This is absolutely impossible, because all the land in the town belongs to you. If you are not satisfied, you can take back the use rights of these lands at any time, and the town government will have to declare bankruptcy."

After hearing these words, Wang Bo nodded slowly and said: "Okay, Charlie, my man, I believe you, and I am willing to follow your suggestions to transform the territory into a town!"

Charlie was slightly surprised. Obviously he did not expect to convince Wang Bo so easily. He asked: "Are you sure? There are no other questions?"

Wang Bo said easily: "Of course, I'm sure, Charlie, I believe you, because like you said, we hit it off as soon as we met, and I felt like this from the first time we met. I feel like it's too late for us to meet!"

"Yes, we meet so late!"

The two people looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that the other person was smiling like a fox.

The reason why Wang Bo accepted this proposal was not because of how much he trusted Charlie, but because he suddenly remembered a note when he was reading the game guide, that is, he could take away the heart of the territory at any time, leave the territory and choose a new location to start over. !

So, what does he have to be afraid of? It's better to take this step according to Charlie's suggestion. If he can really become the mayor of a small town, that will be really prosperous...
