"Expanding the commercial operation of the castle is nothing more than transforming it into a hotel, luxury wedding venue, luxury camping, tours and other projects, such as the heavy metal music festival held once a year in Derbyshire, graffiti activities at Kelbourne Castle in Scotland, and even more so, the Longleit country house built in the 16th century was converted into the world's first safari outside Africa in 1966..."

The butler Paul was not surprised or caught off guard with the new Earl's ideas and problems. Instead, he listed the projects that could be carried out one by one. In fact, the old Earl also considered the potential value of the castle, and eventually gave up because of his improved financial situation and tradition.

After all, as an earl, if you really fall into the trap of selling tickets, you can’t get past the two levels of glory and self-esteem.

Although the butler Paul did not like these developments, he also knew the difficulties faced by these castles called 'historical remains'. Today's British rich man would rather build his own mansion than buy "historical heritage".

Moreover, newly built luxury houses usually have classic appearance and modern facilities, and reduce daily costs through solar panels, biofuels, etc. Compared with the repair and maintenance costs of the castle that are comparable to "bottomless pits", it will naturally force the rich to become "pragmatic".

Hearing the words of the butler Paul, Arthur's mouth couldn't help but pull it, and he was a little embarrassed. He was in a hotel and usually had a wedding... Many people must have come to this mansion...

Well, it seems that no one is a fool, someone has thought about it long ago...

Moreover, there are countless such castles, manors, and hotels in England... I don’t know whether it is profitable or not.

Anyway, I heard Paul's words meant that I could stay for one night for 1 to 200 pounds. It seems that I have to think of another way.

However, a beautiful place like Bolin Castle designed by the most famous architect at that time, with a very contemporary aesthetic and various classical arts, but for various reasons, such a beautiful place is not understood by the outside world. It is a pity to be so "despaired".

Arthur is yes to wipe away the thousand-year-old wind and frost of Bolin Castle and return to the glittering years of the past.

After all, the cheap ancestors used their rich financial resources and unique aesthetics to create this villa with their own personal characteristics. With the accumulation of more than ten generations, it is more like a private museum, with the taste and aesthetics of the owners of all generations to this day. For example, this is like the garden of ancient Jiangnan literati and politicians in the Celestial Empire. Each of them contains precious treasures and an unreplicable landscape that is immersed in the aesthetic taste of the owners.

In fact, many British aristocratic manors also like Bolin's ancestors to be low-key. Although some of these villas contain precious Renaissance paintings and many works by famous sculptors, many of them are prohibited from visiting.

"Earl, if you want to open Bolin Castle and let tourists buy tickets to visit, you have to consider one issue, that is, the fame of Bolin Castle, how to attract tourists? If you rely solely on the residents of the town, the prospects are undoubtedly worrying."

The housekeeper Paul also felt helpless and said the biggest problem he had thought about long ago. There was no problem in developing Bolin Castle to become a tourist attraction, but it was not that if they were willing to open, tourists would definitely come to the door, especially if they had to sell tickets. Bolin Castle is indeed beautiful, but it is not as famous as Kensington Palace or Churchill Manor, and is well-known to the world.

Indeed, it has to be said that wealthy families can often find a way out in the entertainment industry, and luxury houses are no exception.

Just like Hatfield Manor is Wayne's home in the "Batman" series of movies, it has also appeared in several films. This house is particularly popular among historical dramas because it has "royal blood" and is the home before Queen Elizabeth I ascended the throne.

The Chatsworth Manor in Devon is the prototype of the Penberry Building in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice". Every year, many literary enthusiasts go "pilgrimage" and dream of meeting Mr. Darcy, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Once you have fame, you can not only get ticket income, but also welcome various crews, bringing considerable income from location rentals to the manor.

Packaging and operation are extremely important!

This is also the important reason why Arthur started to write "Downton Abbey" without hesitation. He wanted to make Bolin Castle the most popular tourist destination!

Then, let alone hosting weddings or private dinners, even if you use the venue, the usage fee will start from 20,000 pounds, and it will not be capped. The castle's value can reach at least 10,000 pounds...

Thinking of this, Arthur showed a confident smile on his face and said to Butler Paul: "I will find a way to make Bolin Castle famous. You can consider it now. Open those rooms at that time and arrange them in advance. I think this day will not be too far away."

"Oh?" The housekeeper Paul frowned and said softly, but immediately realized that his doubts were a bit rude, and immediately explained: "I'm sorry, Count, I'm not questioning your words, I'm just a little surprised..."

"Haha, it's okay, even if you question it, it's okay. Now I keep it secret, but you can wait and see." Arthur did not show any unhappiness in the face of the questioning and continued with a smile.

"Paul, please inform the heads of the newspaper and publishing house that I will meet them tomorrow to learn about the specific situation of the two companies. By the way, let them take the treasurer with you."

Hearing this, the butler Paul couldn't help but look sobbing, his body slightly raised, and he nodded and responded: "Okay, Count, I will notify them immediately. Do you need an accountant to settle the accounts?"

"Haha, no need for the time being. Thank you Paul. I really feel relaxed with you by my side." Arthur naturally heard Paul's subtext, but he was not planning to check the accounts and give the two executives a warning to the executives of the company. He knew better than anyone else that what he needed now was stability. Even if there were problems with these two companies, it was definitely not a good time to start liquidation.

You have to eat rice bite by bite, and you have to walk step by step!

"This is my honor, and I am willing to serve you!" The housekeeper Paul stood up and gave Arthur a gentlemanly gift very gracefully.

"By the way, I just walked around the manor and saw the grass slopes on the hillside by the river in the west. I asked, the area is 10 acres, and planting ordinary lawns is beautiful, but it is completely useless. It is better to plant alfalfa. Not only will it be beautiful when it blooms, but alfalfa is also very good forage. When harvested, it can be sold to the pastures that our manor has already rented out. This is also an income."
