155: Chapter 155 The Second Generation Kids Were Terrified!
Then, under the guidance of Vicente, the group stepped into the main entrance of Pearl Castle.
Upon entering the gate, when Wang Sicong and the others stepped onto the carpet, they were immediately filled with another wave of emotion.
Vicente, with perfect timing, gave them a detailed introduction.
"Old Shen, you really know how to buy and enjoy life."
"Although none of us are short of money, we've never seen such high-end stuff in our entire lives."
Wang Sicong couldn't help but exclaim.
He was considered the wealthiest among them and had visited Switzerland many times, but let alone buying Pearl Castle, he hadn't even heard of such a high-end castle existing in Zurich.
Or rather, in the judgment of the Swiss Bank's evaluation team, Wang Sicong himself simply did not have enough strength to purchase Pearl Castle.
Let alone Wang Sicong, even his father might not be able to easily produce three billion Euros to buy a castle.
Continuing inside, the group could see that most of the staff at Pearl Castle were maids, and they all looked to be in their early twenties.
But for key positions, such as gardeners and heavy labor, the staff were well over forty and looked very reliable.
Furthermore, the wages for these maids at Pearl Castle were also very high.
Therefore, Vicente was able to maintain this group of highly attractive maids in his team.
Breakfast time had already ended, and Shen Zhou was in no mood to verify how well Vicente's team of Chinese chefs had prepared the meal.
After the group walked through the main gate, the first thing that caught their eyes inside the corridor were the valuable European antiques.
"Isn't this the full set of ivory decorations known as the European treasure, the Prince's Set?"
This time, it was Kang Minghao who couldn't hold back.
His eyes were wide open, and standing in front of that set of ivory decorations, he couldn't move his legs at all.
What appeared before him was a special set of ivory decorations that could cover the whole body.
The upper body of this antique was crafted in a special external attachment style, while the lower body was an ornament like a belt, and the two were connected.
The entire antique appeared bright white, and its surface was luxuriously inlaid with some rubies.
"Is this thing made entirely of ivory?"
Jiang Zhenqi leaned in, somewhat surprised; not only had he never seen such a thing, he had never even heard of it before.
"That's right, and the ivory for this set of decorations all comes from nearly a thousand years ago."
"The most precious part is the carving technique on these ivory pieces, which only existed in that era."
"It would be absolutely impossible to achieve all this manually now, unless you use machines to polish it."
"But if you use machine polishing, it loses its charm."
It was evident that Kang Minghao had studied this set of ivory decorations deeply, and he kept uttering words of praise.
"Brother Shen, I heard that a while ago you obtained an ivory double-carved antique at an European Auction. Could it be this treasure?"
Ge Haiyang also couldn't help but ask.
Mainly because, in his impression, Kang Minghao had always been very calm and composed.
Who would have thought that after seeing such an antique, Kang Minghao would suddenly seem like a different person.
"That's not it; the one before was a Sun and Moon Dual-Wheel Ivory Double-Carving Knife."
"That item should still be in China."
"As for the ivory decoration before us, I bought it along the way when I purchased the castle."
Shen Zhou spoke nonchalantly, as if describing buying a bunch of leeks at the vegetable market—simple, easy, and relaxed.
"Hiss!"
"You just bought it casually?"
Ge Haiyang couldn't help but gasp, and Kang Minghao, standing to the side, was even more shocked.
As far as he knew, this special ivory decoration was not only famous, but also had many people trying to buy it, yet no one had ever succeeded.
He didn't expect that it had now quietly fallen into the hands of Shen Zhou.
This further highlighted Shen Zhou's formidable strength.
The group continued to walk forward, and next they saw many other famous antiques.
All of this left Kang Minghao with a dazed expression.
Only when seeing those antiques would Kang Minghao regain that look of extreme excitement.
By the time they finished walking through the entire antique corridor, even Wang Sicong could only exclaim "Holy shit."
"Old Shen, you are way too rich. The total value of the antiques in this corridor alone is already over five hundred million Euros."
"So how much did this Pearl Castle cost you in total?"
Wang Sicong's question caused everyone to turn their attention toward him.
"About three billion, I suppose."
Shen Zhou said nonchalantly.
"RMB or Euros?"
Jiang Zhenqi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's Euros. Swiss people generally use Euros as the unit when selling things."
Shen Zhou said with a strange look on his face, unable to understand why this kid would ask such an outrageous question.
And the group opposite, including Jiang Zhenqi, stared blankly again.
"Three billion Euros... if you convert that, it should be twenty billion RMB, right?"
Even Wang Sicong began to mutter to himself.
Even though he was known as the nation's premier second-generation rich kid, he simply couldn't come up with that much money.
Even when he invested previously and asked his own father, he only managed to get a few hundred million.
That had already been the most glorious moment of his life.
After his business later declined, the money in his hands never exceeded one hundred million.
Compared to Shen Zhou in front of him, it was like heaven and earth.
Kang Minghao, standing to the side, had long since fallen silent. As a descendant of a political family, the money he had on hand had never exceeded ten million.
Of course, if he needed money, there were many sources.
But that would also create corresponding worries.
"Hahaha, look at the expressions on you guys."
"The money in your families is not a small amount, isn't it all going to be yours in the future?"
"Even if you can only get a portion of the shares, that's still an astronomical price."
Shen Zhou had never looked down on Wang Sicong and the others.
The total assets of the family businesses behind them were at least fifty billion.
Moreover, those enterprises were basically secretly cross-held by their families.
Therefore, when these guys reached the end of the year, they would always suddenly become very wealthy.
"Let's go, I'll take you to visit other places."
Shen Zhou said to Wang Sicong.
As soon as he finished speaking, Vicente led the way again.
The group first arrived at a huge entrance; the door was made entirely of mahogany and carved with a large number of exquisite patterns.
It was just that the style of these patterns was entirely European.
Therefore, this was also something that made Shen Zhou feel very regretful.
