Chapter 1403: Chapter 681: Start a New Round of Treasure Hunt Mode!

Douglas Cooper and Viola didn’t return until it was nearly dark. Sean Knight and his group planned to camp here, and they had made a phone call to Douglas Cooper, mentioning that if their business took longer, they might not come back.

However, not only did Douglas rush back, but he also brought Viola with him.

Obviously, staying in a tent here was not as comfortable as staying at an inn In the City.

But neither of them said anything about it.

"The main procedures are all set," Sean Knight said. "Because we rented the military fortress, they added some more land nearby to our deal—for a very small price."

"How much land did they add?" Sean Knight asked while looking through the documents Douglas had brought back. "Is it half as much as we have now? Oh, and how much more did it cost?"

"They added 600 hectares, mainly around the small lake. 100,000 dollars."

"I swear..." Sean Knight was too surprised. Was there such a good deal?

The ancient castle plus twenty hectares cost 400,000 dollars, and these forty hectares, just 100,000 dollars?

"It’s real," Douglas Cooper said with a smile, anticipating Sean Knight’s reaction. "It’s permanent. You can tell they really need money here... Probably they also want us to set an example to attract more Chinese investors."

"Boss, with this land, can we start a hunting ground?" Douglas asked with a grin.

"No, it’s too small," Sean Knight shook his head and said. "You might think 600 hectares sounds like a lot, but it’s actually less than half a square kilometer. Do you know how big half a square kilometer is?

One kilometer long and half a kilometer wide, just that much. A more powerful gun could shoot from one end to the other and still go beyond... After all, the maximum range of a Type 81 rifle is three thousand meters."

Once Douglas heard that, he understood.

Too small!

It might be considered vast for farming and it’s not a small courtyard, but for a hunting ground, it’s really too small.

"So shall we buy some more?" Douglas suggested. "It’s seriously cheap, really cheap. There are mountains nearby, and there’s probably plenty of game on those mountains. I’ve heard people say they once saw a Siberian tiger here, ..."

Yeah, right.

Sean Knight thought to himself, how far is this place from the Greater Khingan Mountains? Even if it’s further out, how far from the Outer Khingan Mountains? Could a Siberian Tiger really come here?

But there’s definitely plenty of game, for sure. After all, there are few people, so wildlife naturally thrives.

However, this matter needs further consideration—Sean Knight hadn’t decided about setting up a hunting ground here. He always felt that being closer to the northeastern frontier of China would be better.

Of course, since things have been found both in the castle and the military fortress, this place is definitely going to be established.

After all, if anything else turned up and people recognized it, since the location would be his own property, by legal standards, the findings would belong to him.

Regarding the military fortress, it’s better just to keep it hidden from discovery.

Sean Knight had a good plan. Since he was here and had discovered things, he might as well sort them out quickly.

As for buying more land...

Sean Knight pondered and then said:

"Fine, as long as it’s cheap, let’s buy more. Even if we just sell the wood, we can make our money back."

"Absolutely!"

Douglas hadn’t thought that far, but now he hoped Sean Knight would build a pig farm nearby, which would require a large enough area. Calculating by hectares, one square kilometer is one hundred hectares, so at least three to five square kilometers, that is, three to five hundred hectares of land, would need to be purchased.

Some of this land is purchasable, while some is only leaseable.

However, Douglas secretly thought, go big. If the boss doesn’t want to go too big, he’d pay for the rest himself.

He did indeed have more money than he could spend—this was true. Every time he went around, he earned a lot, and there were also dividends from the oil fields and coal mines, allowing Elijah and his two friends to spend all their money on their families since there wasn’t much else to spend on.

So, buy the land. After all, it was boss’s money—spending it wouldn’t hurt the boss.

That’s what Douglas thought.

So, The second day Douglas continued with Viola to the city to find an agent, while Sean Knight and his group made use of local resources, finding a wooden board Nearby and writing on it before sticking it at the road intersection.

The problem was, around eleven or twelve in the morning, another bus arrived. A group of tourists, led by Aunt Fatty, the tour guide, arrived at the ancient castle and began their tour.

Damn it, they really treated this place like a public tourism resource!

"Boss, looks like that card didn’t work!" Elijah frowned as he watched the tourists, and without a word from Sean Knight, he felt it wasn’t his place to chase them away.

"After this group leaves, let’s block the road with some wood!" Sean Knight said. "Since we’ve already bought it, we can’t let others come anymore."

He had originally planned to go on a treasure hunt quietly in the evening, but now, it had turned into a public place.

"You think, Russia wouldn’t be like Western Europe where you can’t do anything after buying a castle, would it?" Sean Knight suddenly asked.

Elijah looked clueless; this was a gap in his knowledge.

"Call Douglas and ask him in detail," Sean Knight said worriedly, immediately taking out his phone.

Fortunately, the result of the inquiry was, once purchased, renovations and the like were Sean Knight’s own private affairs. After all, he had bought the castle with real gold and silver.

Of course, because it is an ancient castle, the main structure and the overall style must not be altered.

However, Viola said:

"According to the agent, appropriate modifications are allowed. After all, this place is too remote, and no one comes to inspect."
