Huh? There's a magic school here.
Chapter 8 The Earl of Sky Island
Andres left Inverness and drove back to London from the other side of England, thus completing his journey through the entire country.
After returning to London, he packed a few things and set off for Germany. After all, his reason for resigning was to go to Germany to watch the World Cup, and now that he had the money, he naturally wanted to fulfill this small promise.
Germany, or rather Europe, is currently in the atmosphere of the World Cup, with hotels and guesthouses throughout the country filled with fans from all over the world.
Originally expecting a similar situation to the UK, Andres had almost no place to stay. In the end, he managed to book a presidential suite at a five-star hotel through his Centurion Black Card from American Express Bank in the United States. Yes, you read that right, through a bank!
Lighthouse Guoyun Bank assigns a professional account manager to each Black Card user. Through this account manager, you can make any request that can be fulfilled with money, whether legal or illegal. The account manager will then provide you with a solution and price.
However, after experiencing the hotel, Andres felt that the presidential suite was worth the price! That's how simple the happiness of the rich is! In addition, he also bought expensive tickets from scalpers to watch the World Cup.
Andres spent half a month traveling around Europe, basically staying in one country for two or three days before moving on to another. You might think he joined a tour group? No, he was buying World Cup lottery tickets in various countries.
He spread his betting across different countries, making it safer. In the past two weeks, Andres has raked in hundreds of millions of euros in small amounts. While he was sunbathing on a Spanish beach, his real estate company in the UK was also bustling with activity.
Just as Andres left Inverness, the entire real estate company sprang into action. Smith believed their chances of turning things around lay in this one move!
“John, go and inform the law firm we work with. I need to know all the land-related policies regarding Skye Isle. Tell them three days! Only three days!”
“Andy, I need detailed information about the entire Sky Island, down to the exact number of trees on the island. And you only have three days! What? Three days is too short? Then go find some help! Didn’t you hear what Mr. Andres said? If we finish this within half a month, we’ll get a 1% bonus! Don’t you know how much that is?”
Smith glanced at the beautiful receptionist still standing beside him and found her even more charming! The receptionist felt uneasy, thinking that the manager might have other ideas.
Smith returned to his office, picked up the office phone, and quickly dialed his boss's number. He knew he couldn't handle such a big matter himself, and his boss should know about it as soon as possible. The call was answered quickly.
Hello, who is this?
"Boss, it's me, Smith!"
"It's you. What do you want? Smith, you know it's no use pleading with me. I've already given you plenty of chances!"
"No, boss, it's like this, I've landed a big order!"
"What big deal? Tell me about it!"
So Smith explained everything about Andres's intention to buy Skye Island.
"Here's the thing, boss. This is a big deal, and I need your help. You know, this requires getting government officials on my side."
After hearing the whole story, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a while before speaking again.
"Alright, Smith, I understand. I'll handle this. I'll communicate with the higher-ups. You also need to take care of things on my end. As long as this deal goes through, you'll keep your job. In addition, I'll give your team an extra bonus!"
Upon hearing his boss's promise, Smith's mood instantly improved! Money really is the best stimulant.
For the next two weeks, the entire store was highly motivated under Smith's leadership. One day, while Andres was sunbathing on a Spanish beach, his phone rang.
Hello, who is this?
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Andres?"
Yes, it's me! And you are?
“I am Smith, Smith Wilson. You asked me to handle the Sky Island matter for you.”
"Oh, it's you! How did it go? Any results?"
"Yes, Mr. Andres! Everything has been taken care of thanks to our efforts. You just need to come over to sign and make the payment. When would be a good time for you to come and complete the formalities?"
Andres looked up at the sky, really reluctant to leave. The weather here was much better than in England, but business had to be done!
"Let's do it tomorrow then. The sooner the better!"
"Okay, then we'll be waiting for you at the store tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Andres had no choice but to get up and return to the hotel to check out and buy the next available flight back to the UK.
The next day, Andres arrived at the real estate company in Inverness with a lawyer arranged by American Express.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Smith and his store staff waiting at the store entrance. As soon as they saw Andres, they walked up to him warmly and greeted him.
"Hello Mr. Andres, this is our company's boss."
"Boss, this is Mr. Andres."
“Mr. Andres is truly a promising young man. I am Adams, the owner of this company!”
"You're too kind. Shall we go inside and talk?"
"Okay, this way please!"
So the group went to the VIP room in the store, where the pretty receptionist served everyone a cup of coffee and desserts and fruit.
A staff member handed a stack of documents to the boss, Adams, who glanced at them to confirm they were correct before handing them over to Andres.
“Mr. Andres, these are the documents you need to sign! Please take a look. Also, there are some things I need to tell you.”
Anders handed the documents to his lawyer for review, then gestured for Adams to continue.
"The transaction amount is £50 million, and the specific amount is in the documents. I believe it shouldn't be a problem for you. However, as you know, most of the Isle of Skye is designated as a national nature reserve by the government because it has little development value. Therefore, in order to acquire this land, we need to circumvent these documents and orders."
Through our urgent consultations with the government, we can acquire the island under the guise of investing in tourism. Therefore, you will need to invest some funds in tourism development over the next few years. Furthermore, to legally grant you ownership of the island, we have promised His Majesty the King a substantial sum. The Royal Family will verify your lineage through ancient genealogies, proving your descent as Earl of Skye. In other words, once you sign the document, you will be Earl of Skye, a member of the Senate.
