Chapter 511

Just as Li Feng put down his mind and accompanied the United States to visit Britain, Li Feng saw the news about Diana in the media reports. Sure enough, accompanied by her brother, the contemporary Earl of Spencer, Diana attended a press conference with Prince Charles, which shocked the whole of Britain and even Europe.

At the press conference, Diana announced that she had resigned from the title of "Princess of Wales", saying that although she and Prince Charles had good memories, their marriage broke down in the end. Like ordinary people, maybe both sides were at fault. Now there are only good memories and blessings for each other.

It shows the blessings to both sides, hoping that the people can always support the royal family, etc., and then shows that since becoming a princess, they have lived for others, and now they are middle-aged (they have spoken for 61 years, and now they are 36 years old). They hope to live a good life for themselves and live an ordinary life in the future.

Including resigning from various things, only retaining the honorary title, and even claiming that he will enter the school to study hard and lay the foundation for his future life and career. It can be said that Li Feng has made a full gesture, and he is also happy from his heart.

Obviously, his efforts have been fruitful. If so, there will still be traffic accidents in the future, it can only blame God, Li Feng thought.

When Li Feng returned to London with Zeta Jones and a group of security personnel from ancient castles and beautiful fields in Britain, he unexpectedly received a banquet from Prince Charles.

……

Yes, Li Feng, who originally wanted to leave, was persuaded by Zeta Jones to visit Britain, especially those rural castles. Li Feng had heard of them in his previous life. Therefore, it can be said that he wandered around England and had a good experience of those castles.

There are countless manors and ancient castles in Britain with different sizes. Li Feng really saw a lot this time. Li Feng should not listen too much to the ancient castles in Britain, such as Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Churchill manor, etc.

Li Feng has just returned from his visit to the Wentworth Woodhouse residence, which is known as "the largest private residence in Britain". He was really surprised to see this residence. It was too big. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is the largest private residence, it is definitely one of the largest.

Recently, Li Feng also visited many luxury castles and mansions. Seeing this mansion, Li Feng still felt that he was a "countryman". It was so spectacular.

It has to be said that although there are some manors and luxury houses in the United States, such as Rockefeller manor and Hearst Castle, they are also very beautiful and magnificent.

To see the real castle or to Europe, such as France or Germany or Britain, such a manor castle is the essence of the manor and castle building in human history.

Li Feng was also an eye opener when he saw this luxury house, which is known as "the largest private residence in Britain". Not to mention the others, Li Feng was stunned by the private mansion, the main building covering an area of 2.5 acres.

At present, Li Feng has a lot of luxury houses. Whether it is Beverly's century manor, which has always been called "Beverly's real estate transaction record", or private property in various places, such as the courtyard building in Beijing, the luxury house in Kensington Garden Street in London, especially the courtyard in the background City, also covers an area of more than 10000 square meters (including gardens, gardens, etc.), But it is too small for a pure private residence.

……

The history of this mansion can be traced back to the 17th century. Rotherham, located in South Yorkshire, first belonged to the Marquis of Stratford. Unfortunately, the Marquis belonging to the Wentworth family was relatively short-lived. Because of the failure of political investment, he was finally beheaded.

Later, it was passed to another member of the Wentworth family - the first generation Marquis of Rockingham. The Marquis of Rockingham - the Wentworth family was a famous aristocratic family in Britain at that time, and the second generation Marquis of Rockingham was elected Prime Minister of Britain twice.

At first, the mansion was still in the hands of the Wentworth family. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The second generation Marquis had no male offspring and was later inherited by the grandson count Fitzwilliam family (aristocratic marriage, and the daughter of the Wentworth family married the count of Fitzwilliam family).

Both the Wentworth family and the Fitzwilliam family were one of the largest landlords and the top family in Britain at that time.

This mansion was originally built by the Marquis of Stratford, and then continuously expanded by the Marquis of Rockingham for two generations, including the Baroque architecture on the east wing and the later expansion of the west wing.

In particular, the luxury buildings on the west wing are 606 feet and 185 meters long. The whole luxury house has more than 200 rooms, and the construction area alone has reached an incredible 2.5-acre behemoth.

After completion, the east wing of the front of this mansion has become the largest behemoth in Europe, wider than Buckingham Palace, Chatsworth mansion, Brennan palace, and even the most brilliant palace of Versailles in France.

……

The whole mansion is divided into three parts according to the level. Naturally, the center is the mansion itself. The mansion itself is surrounded by 180 acres of luxury Royal private gardens supporting the mansion, and the outermost is 15000 acres of rural land, mountains and forests.

Unfortunately, the back of the family was not good enough and fell flat after World War II. The count Fitzwilliam family only passed to the 10th generation of count. After the death of the last count in 1979, the count Title naturally disappeared because there were no direct descendants. As a result, the mansion finally became owned by the family trust fund. Naturally, the holder of the family trust fund is a collateral member of the Fitzwilliam family.

The mansion, including the surrounding gardens, was sold to a real estate developer in 1989. Unfortunately, the real estate developer was also unlucky.

From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, it was the trough of the real estate industry in Britain and even the world. As a result, the real estate developer went bankrupt. Now the mansion is in the hands of local banks.

What Li Feng doesn't know is that two years later, the mansion and the surrounding gardens were bought by a local architect for only £ 1.5 million. The main reason is that the mansion is in disrepair and leaking everywhere. No one wants it at all.

If you buy it, just renovating and renovating this mansion is not affordable for ordinary rich people. It's too big.

Later, the architect had no choice. After all, the architect was just an ordinary rich class. If he wanted to renovate the mansion with his personal strength, he could only dream. Finally, he could only hope that the British government and the local government would take money to renovate the mansion.

……

Until the rebirth of Li Feng in his previous life, although celebrities and dignitaries including Prince William of England proposed to renovate luxury houses, and then open to the outside world and receive tourists.

But the office efficiency of John Niu's government is actually very low (definitely not much faster or even slower than our great China). According to the prediction of the media, this mansion won't be available in a few decades.

As for the former owner of the mansion - the Fitzwilliam family and its members, the family still holds 15000 acres of land around the periphery of the mansion and many other real estate resources, living a leisurely life of a big landlord in the countryside. Although it can't be rich, it can ensure the continuous inheritance of the family.

However, the family auctioned the precious collections, cultural relics and antiques left by the family twice in 48 years and 86 years. It can also be seen from here that the Fitzwilliam family is definitely declining, otherwise it would not sell all the family's private collections.

The news I heard recently is that it is said that the family may take out part of the family collection for auction recently. If the time is right, Li Feng wants to join the fun.

After all, such an ancient family collection is definitely worth buying by Li Feng. If you can find some unique cultural relics, you will definitely make a lot of money. However, such auctions are basically invited before they can participate. Li Feng starts to calculate in his heart to see if there is a suitable opportunity.

……

Well, why is Li Feng so clear about the situation of this mansion? Li Feng is a little excited again. Li Feng is a little excited about the name of the largest private residence in Britain.

Therefore, when I first passed the tour guide and simply understood the situation, I directly contacted Adam in London, and then asked him to collect the detailed information of the mansion, which gave me a detailed understanding.

Just think of the huge mansion with a construction area of 2.5 acres. Whenever you think of the magnificent mansion, Li Feng has an inexplicable excitement. Well, Li Feng likes very big things in his life.

In particular, such luxury houses and manors are actually the most scarce wherever they are. For example, although there are some large family manors in Britain, they are either in the hands of those old noble families, or the former families have gone bankrupt. Most of them have become national assets. After repair, they begin to open to the outside world, and few can really circulate in the market.

What's more, according to Li Feng, Adam sent someone to understand the situation and knew that the price was still very cheap.

This time, Li Feng's addiction to buying luxury houses again. The only regret is that the mansion is in South Yorkshire, not in the countryside near London.

……

At the same time, Li Feng also wanted Adam to collect the noble manor and ancient castle with heritage significance in Britain. If there is a good one, maybe he can invest and operate it.
