rebirth of change

"Which island do you want to buy?" Lawrence was more cautious. He thought that Ouyang Zhenhua and the others might be buying a beach trail to build a holiday villa like other rich people, but he vaguely felt that it would not be that simple. , otherwise the other party would not use this as a condition.

"Christmas Island", Ouyang Zhenhua spit out these three words.

"Oh, Christmas Island, it is 2600 kilometers away from Perth, and more than [-] kilometers away from your country. What do you want that island for?" Jeffrey Nash is very familiar with Christmas Island, because of Christmas Island At present, only charter flights have been opened from Perth to the local area, and the foreign trade of Christmas Island is mainly with Australia. As an official in charge of business, it is reasonable for Nash to be familiar with the situation, but he does not understand such a remote island. , Chen Kangjie, why would they be interested.

"I've made a note of your request, but let's take a long-term view on this matter. Don't be in a hurry. I don't dare to agree to anything now." Lawrence knew the seriousness, knew that Chen Kangjie and the others were using Christmas Island as a condition, and his enthusiasm dropped instantly. .

"Hehe, we know it's not easy to handle, it's okay, we can discuss it again." Chen Kangjie saw Lawrence's embarrassment, so he didn't push too hard, and pretended to be nonchalant. In fact, the core purpose of his visit to Australia this time was this way. All other investments are secondary.

If this condition was a little bit stuck, the subsequent communication would be somewhat dull. After talking for more than 20 minutes, Lawrence suggested that Chen Kangjie and the others had to go on their way early the next morning and suggested that they go to the guest room to rest.

"Jie Shao, I still don't understand why you want to get this way. As far as I know, most of this island is rugged and mountainous. Only Flying Fish Cove in the northeast is flatter, and the residents mainly live there. It is close to the port and the airport. It was originally rich in apatite mines, but over the past few decades, it has been almost fully exploited by the Christmas Island Phosphate Mining Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Australia and Western countries. It is surrounded by rich fishery resources. Do you want to fish? I think it would be inappropriate to buy such an island to build a resort." All along, Ouyang Zhenhua didn't know Chen Kangjie's intention for this island, and Chen Kangjie couldn't tell.As long as Chen Kangjie wanted it, Ouyang Zhenhua would naturally do some work on this island.

Ouyang Zhenhua and Chen Kangjie were sitting face to face on the balcony on the second floor of the cabin. The sky is full of stars tonight. It seems that the sky will be much clearer when viewed from the mountain. The mountain wind blows and the woods rustle, which makes people feel very cool , The mind is also cleared up a lot.

"You will know this in the future. Now I just want to take this island. For it, no amount of money will be spared. In fact, this island is very rich in tourism resources. Even if it is used as a private resort, it is very valuable Conditions. First of all, there is an airport and a port here, which is convenient for transportation. Secondly, there are nearly a thousand people on it. These people can be converted into service staff, and most of them are Chinese. Everyone has a natural sense of closeness.” Chen Kangjie did not Explain his real purpose, but he still explained that this place is not useless.

"That's an independent kingdom." Ouyang Zhenhua had never thought of having nearly a thousand subordinates in a single place before, and was a little surprised.

"Hehe, I'm not an emperor, what kind of independent kingdom do I want to be? Although the highest mountain on Christmas Island, Murray Hill (Murrayhill) reaches an altitude of 361 meters, at least the vegetation is well preserved. 70% of the area has become a national park. It has not changed much, and there is fresh water, so it is really a good place." Since finding this place, Chen Kangjie has paid close attention to the information about this island. It can be said that he knows much more than Ouyang Zhenhua knows.

"It's just too far away." No matter how good Chen Kangjie said, Ouyang Zhenhua still felt that it was not very good.

"It's far away from our country, but it's not far away from all countries," Chen Kangjie said softly, looking at the mountain shadow in the distance.

"That's right, it's only 300 kilometers away from Megawatt Island, the land of thousands of islands..." Ouyang Zhenhua said to himself silently, and he felt an epiphany while talking, but it was still not clear, " What's the use of being close to them? What's the use? We don't have much interest in the country of a thousand islands."

"Some benefits are not visible to the eyes."Chen Kangjie was still looking into the distance, but Ouyang Zhenhua's silent recitation entered his ears clearly word for word.

"Oh", Ouyang Zhenhua nodded half-understood, "Jie Shao, then tell me, why is Lawrence unwilling to agree to our request? We are buying it, but it's not for nothing. Didn't he take the initiative to ask us at the beginning? , seemed very positive, but he backed off a little later," Ouyang Zhenhua complained.

"We have to understand him. Even ordinary people will not make a decision so readily when it comes to selling out the country's territory. Besides, the situation in Christmas Island is a bit special... Brother Ouyang, look, that mountain Does the shadow look like a human head?", halfway through Chen Kangjie's speech, he suddenly pointed to the distance and asked.

"Ah, oh, it's really similar." Ouyang Zhenhua couldn't keep up with Chen Kangjie's changes. When he looked in the direction of Chen Kangjie's finger, he found that the shadow of the mountain really looked like an old man, but he was concerned about it. The direction is not as peculiar as Chen Kangjie, he still cares more about Christmas Island, "Mr. Jie, what's the special situation? Tell me about it."

Chen Kangjie withdrew his gaze and looked back, "First of all, the area of ​​this island is not one or two square kilometers, but 135 square kilometers, which is not small. Besides, it is not a deserted island. There are residents on it, and there are no people inside. Few people have Australian nationality. Third, the island has changed hands several times. It was first owned by the British, and later merged into Singapore. It was occupied by the Japanese during World War II, and it belonged to Singapore again after World War II. At the end of the 50s, the island was actually sold to Australia for 260 million pounds. It can be said that the history of this island is very tortuous. For such a place, Lawrence did not dare to agree easily. The voice of opposition will not be small, if it were you, would you not consider it?".

"So it's like this, it's really hard to do it," Ouyang Zhenhua said quietly as if suddenly.

At this time, there was an extra person in the garden downstairs. Under the dim light of the porch lamp, Chen Kangjie above noticed that it was Lawrence who was taking a walk.

"Looks like Lawrence is thinking about it. Let's go down and talk to him." Chen Kangjie stood up first.

Ouyang Zhenhua stood up after him, lay down on the fence and glanced down, and followed Chen Kangjie downstairs.

Chen Kangjie basically guessed what Lawrence was thinking, and this decision was really difficult.With the support of Ouyang Zhenhua and Chen Kangjie, Lawrence calculated that his chances of winning would be greatly increased. However, if he rashly sold Christmas Island, his competitors would definitely accuse him of something bad. In that case, even if he If it wins, it will seriously affect the stability of the ruling.

But if he doesn't agree, then the other party will only help Jeffrey Nash and has nothing to do with him.Although he said that even if the project is completed, it needs the cooperation of the federal government. In fact, this is of no value. Do your best to provide cooperative assistance.

At the same time, Lawrence also had to think about Chen Kangjie's intention to buy this island.Just now he looked over the geographical location and information of Christmas Island again. The geographical location here is very special.On the surface, it seemed that there were not many natural resources here, but he always felt that Chen Kangjie and the others had some special purpose.

"Mr. Lawrence, it's so elegant, and you can still enjoy the night view at such a late hour." When they reached the stairs, Chen Kangjie changed places with Ouyang Zhenhua, so Ouyang Zhenhua was the first to walk towards Lawrence.

Ouyang Zhenhua's tone was very easygoing, without showing any special meaning.

"It's cool outside, I couldn't sleep for a while, so I went out for a walk. Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Chen, why are you still not sleeping? You have to hurry tomorrow morning!".

"It doesn't matter, hehe, our time is relatively free, so we don't have to be so anxious to go back." He was still asking Jeffrey Nash when he would go back, but now he is not in a hurry. The change of the businessman is really amazing. Quickly, "It's rare to meet Mr. Lawrence, it's okay to chat more, besides, we can still rest on the special plane."

"Hehe, thank you, please sit down," Lawrence asked Ouyang Zhenhua and the others to sit down at a wooden table in the yard, "I'm going back to Sydney tomorrow afternoon. thing".

"Then I wish Mr. Lawrence every success. I believe that the voters in your country will make a wise choice," Ouyang Zhenhua said politely.

"Mr. Ouyang, can you tell me why you bought Christmas Island and what functions you plan to develop it into?" Lawrence knew very well what his chances of winning were, so he didn't express his opinion on Ouyang Zhenhua's blessing, but put The topic was brought back to the previous exchange.

"We intend to develop it into a beautiful and luxurious tourist resort island. With the development of our country's economy and the increasing number of wealthy people, everyone will soon have a blowout growth in travel and vacation. I believe the island will be It is an ideal choice for high-end customers. For this reason, we plan to make long-term investment in this area, and I believe there will be good returns.” Chen Kangjie did not tell the truth, but found a reason that seemed barely justified.

For Chen Kangjie, obtaining ownership of the island is the key.When I get it, what I do with it is my own business, there is no change in it, not to mention that the plan is always faster than the change.
