Shire found the piece of land that Albert I mentioned on the map.
It was located to the north of Antwerp City, 2 kilometers from the port, 1.5 kilometers from the train station, and a hundred meters from the highway. Additionally, there was a factory building already constructed, with several dormitory and office buildings ready for use.
Albert I explained that it was originally a British-invested bicycle factory, which shut down due to concerns about the impending war.
Shire roughly calculated, realizing that the 2,000-plus square meters area cost three million francs, making the unit price less than 1,500 francs. With all these facilities, it was practically a giveaway.
