"This place is about two li from the urban area of Vienna. The surroundings are basically farmland, and due to topographical restrictions, the land is not very fertile, so the price is not high.
What's most rare is that this area is one of the few places near Vienna with large open spaces, and its owner is Viscount Lexton of Austria. We've already negotiated a price with him. If we purchase the entire block, the price can be even cheaper," Boen, the head of the Heixinggen Consortium in Vienna, reported to Ernst while pointing to a piece of land on the outskirts on a map.
"How large is the area?" Ernst asked.
"A total of 1.642 qianmu, enough for several factory sites, so there's absolutely no issue with the size," Boen said.
