After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 591 Investment?

The next morning, Cui Yiyuan woke up and ran outside impatiently.

The Maldives is absolutely beautiful during the day.

The blue sky is as clear as water, with white clouds, fresh and natural.

There is a breeze on the sea, and the clear water is under your feet. The wind ripples the sea surface, giving it a sparkling feeling.

The sea here feels like a jelly sea or a sea of ​​glass. The light blue and light blue water are clear and transparent. You can see the fish and crabs in the sea very clearly, as if they are right in front of you.

The oceans near and far are all shallow seas. The only difference is that due to the surge of light and waves, the light blue color varies in thickness, giving people the feeling that the light blue color is flowing.

It's really beautiful.

Cui Yiyuan called Li Zhuo out:

"Honey, come and see the sea in the Maldives, it's so beautiful it's like a miracle."

Li Zhuo went out to take a look. Indeed, the sea water felt particularly clear and shallow, and it was lively and lively. It was indeed a miracle.

No wonder it is one of the three major island tourist attractions. This sea is indeed beautiful.

Cui Yiyuan wanted to go to the sea now, Li Zhuo said:

"After dinner, let's rent two rafts or something from the hotel, and then go play in the sea."

There was no breakfast at this time, so they had breakfast and lunch.

The hotel staff brought your order.

Cui Yiyuan was also shocked when she learned how expensive the food they ate was.

A glass of watermelon juice and a glass of orange juice cost $80.

Customers need to order and pay for lunch and dinner at the White Horse Manor Hotel. Li Zhuo chose a set meal that included fried crab, chicken skewers, seafood platter, two burgers, and two bowls of rice. After adding service charge and consumption tax, the price is $900.

Not to mention anything else, the price of a bowl of rice is US$12 and the price of a hamburger is US$60, which is equivalent to more than 80 yuan for a bowl of rice and more than 400 yuan for a burger.

This price is quite explosive no matter where it is placed.

Cui Yiyuan said in surprise:

"Oh my god, are we being ripped off?"

Li Zhuo shook his head and said:

"That's definitely not the case. The prices are clearly marked on the menu, which is not enough for a seven-star hotel like this."

The White Horse Manor Hotel is a seven-star hotel, ranking among the top in the entire Maldives.

"But why is it so expensive?"

"Everything is shipped in from outside. The Maldives produces almost nothing. It's normal if it's expensive. If it's not expensive, there's a problem. Besides, if you come out with me, why are you worried about the cost? Feel free to eat whatever you want. , you can play whatever you want." Li Zhuo said with a smile.

He is not generally rich now, so this kind of expense is nothing to him.

After dinner, when Cui Yiyuan went to the sea to play, he once again realized what expensiveness is.

Her swimsuit was too revealing and too flashy to wear, so she bought a pair of shorts and a pair of swimming trunks for $800. She felt like she was being taken advantage of for the price.

There are quotations for various outdoor recreation projects. Cui Yiyuan took a look at them——

The price of the motorboat is US$400 per hour.

Renting a small sailboat costs 900 dollars an hour. Of course, if it is a small yacht, the price will be doubled.

Parasailing costs 450 US dollars for half an hour, and two people need to be on it at a time. If it is a single person, the price is 600 US dollars for half an hour.

The semi-submersible self-driving seabob can be rented for US$150 an hour, which is quite cheap.

The price of a small submarine for half an hour at sea is US$1400.

Private seaplane, 30 US dollars for 1800 minutes, can circle the Maldives...

After reading it, Cui Yiyuan said to Li Zhuo:
"That is to say, I come with you, otherwise I would definitely not dare to spend it myself. It is so expensive and the price-performance ratio is so bad. Thinking about how difficult it is for me to make money, I won't be willing to spend it."

Li Zhuo took off his sunglasses and smiled:
"The Maldives is considered cheap. I heard that Tahiti is two or three times more expensive than here. How much can we spend here? The most is 4 US dollars. We estimate that it will cost 10 US dollars to go to Tahiti. Cui Yiyuan smiled and said:
"Then I'd better not go. I'd rather fly to the deep cities in your country and eat all the delicious food without spending so much."

"It's so pitiful to say. I'll transfer some money later. I may not be free, but you can hang out with Yin Mingzi in the future," Li Zhuo said.

He hasn't transferred money in a few months, so he plans to transfer some while taking this opportunity.

He first transferred 4000 million yuan to Li's mother. Shortly after he bought a villa in Sanya last time, he transferred 3000 million yuan to Li's mother.This time I transferred more, mainly because the houses I bought in Hong Kong and Singapore were very expensive, and it was expensive to maintain them. It was all managed by Li Ma.

Li's mother called and said that she was still in Repulse Bay, and Li's father and Li Yun also flew there. They planned to take his red yacht to Singapore to see the newly bought villa on Sentosa Island.

After hanging up the phone, he transferred another 1000 million yuan to Cui Yiyuan, equivalent to 20 billion won. This was for her living expenses, which was double the 500 million he gave her last time.

Cui Yiyuan didn't know it yet, but she had chosen the parasailing project and was being towed by the yacht to fly in mid-air.

Later, Li Zhuo transferred 1000 million yuan each to He Xiaobai, Zhao Ying, Xie Wenxi, Meng Yuanyuan, Chen Duling, and Zhou Ge.

Except for Xiaobai, everyone else called him one after another.

Xiaobai is probably afraid of radiation, so he rarely uses his mobile phone after becoming pregnant.

After the domestic transfer was completed, he also transferred 1000 million yuan each to Nana, Ruan Yuzhu, Chiyoko Watanabe and Yuu Suzuki abroad.

They transferred 500 million last time, and with the 1000 million transferred this time, I believe they can live a very good life.

A total of 1.5 million yuan was transferred, leaving 14.9 billion yuan left on his bank card.

He then called Liu Chun, general manager of Vientiane Entertainment Culture Co., Ltd.

From him, Li Zhuo learned that the company's first movie had been shot and was in post-production, and the second movie was in preparation and would start shooting soon.

He then said:

"The film and television adaptation of Gu Jian Qi Tan San San will also be put on the agenda. I will transfer 2 million yuan later to make preparations first. After the budget is released, if it is not enough, I will invest more..."

After the money was transferred, there was still 12.9 billion yuan left on his card.

This money is not much, but it is not much.

Li Zhuo actually wanted to buy a red winery. There were many wineries in Bordeaux, France. With the money he had, he could buy a very good winery. Of course, he could also buy it in Burgundy.

Anyway, he likes to drink red wine, and he can drink it himself after buying the wine.

However, he was still a little hesitant because it was said that the red wine winery was not easy to work with.

He called Wang Luyao and expressed his thoughts.

When Wang Luyao heard that he wanted to buy a winery, his first thought was to dissuade him:

"Be careful! There are good and bad wineries in Bordeaux. There are only 61 Bordeaux classified wineries. Most of them have been acquired by large European and American companies and wealthy people. There are many remaining wineries. The problem is that many of them are not famous. Buy There is no channel, dealers don’t recognize it, and customers don’t recognize it. What will happen if it can’t be sold? You can’t just buy it and drink it for yourself.”

"Secondly, the winery is like this. Buying it is only the first step, and the operating expenses are the bulk of it. Among other things, the wages of French grape-growing workers are not cheap, and the excellent team of winemakers is also It is necessary, and you have to spend money to open sales channels. Let’s put it this way, it is equivalent to bleeding you once a year. If you have money, it doesn’t matter, just keep it slowly.”

"People or companies that are not that rich do not have the strength to operate it for a long time. Maybe it will be in a state of net loss and no profit for a few years or even more than ten years. Of course, if you buy a small winery worth 4000 to [-] million yuan, If you want to play, then just pretend I didn’t say it, with your financial resources, you can definitely afford it.”

Li Zhuo hesitated even more after hearing this, and asked:
“What if I buy a classified growth?”

"Oh, because the classified wineries have a long history and great reputation, channel sales are not a problem. In 1855, the Medoc classified wineries were divided into five levels. Basically, how much a bottle sells for each level is a comparison. It’s fixed. The annual output and sales can be estimated. Moreover, their winemaker team is relatively mature, and the annual operating expenses are similar. You can find an estimator to calculate it for you, and you can generally judge the investment. And income situation." Wang Luyao replied.

Li Zhuo finally understood and said:
"Okay, let me get to know it slowly first, and then talk after I'm familiar with it, otherwise I might be tricked when I go in."

"Well, buying a classified chateau is a good idea, but it's also expensive, much higher than the price of ordinary wineries..."

In fact, Li Zhuo is not worried about the price. He wants to turn the cash in his card into a fixed asset. As for whether he can earn back the investment in the future, he doesn't care.

If it really doesn't work, just sell it.

But Wang Luyao is right, the operating expenses are not necessarily low, and the need to continue investing in blood transfusions every year is a bit unfriendly.

His current annual investment in yachts and airplanes alone is 7000 million, and he is still not happy to add another burden.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to engage in other projects, at least he can see the money back.
