Age of Dreams
Vol 2 Chapter 34: Buy a few islands!
For those who can enjoy life, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, it is worth spending a little more time to enjoy.
Not only to fill the stomach, but also a kind of enjoyment for taste buds, but also a kind of spiritual rest.
Ok.
Such an idea, of course, only those petty bourgeois women have.
And Huo Zhuzhu, who Xiao Qi called "the model of petty bourgeoisie beauty", naturally did it in this way.
Xiao Qi has heard that in the Rongcheng branch of Fairy Real Estate, the rest area of the office dedicated to Huo Zhuzhu has always been the most elegant and casual place. Huo Zhuzhu made it like a paradise. , Eating there and drinking afternoon tea is definitely the most sensational.
Perhaps Xiao Qi himself had no sense of aesthetics, anyway, when he went to Huo Zhuzhu last time, he didn't see any difference.
It was also a coincidence that Xiao Qi himself brought a set meal and sat in a corner on the third floor to eat. It didn't take long before he heard a few girls sitting in a compartment behind him.
The reason why he said he was a girl was because Xiao Qi smelled several different perfumes, all of which were high-end, which smelled very good.
"Sister Zhuzhu, I heard that you went to the Maldives some time ago and rented an island to play on your own. It shocked the gringles. Is it true?" Not long after, a girl asked like this.
Xiao Qicai was thinking that this "Sister Zhuzhu" would not be Huo Zhuzhu. Sure enough, Huo Zhuzhu's voice rang: "Oh, it's not a big deal! In fact, it was mainly because it was from the Maldives during this time. During the peak season, there are too many people. Our family is not going out to see people, so we simply wrapped up a small island and had a great time."
"Surely enough money is spent?" Another girl asked carefully.
"Well, we were there for almost two weeks and spent a total of 2 million yuan to spend a total of 2 million yuan on the performance bonus that the eldest sister gave me some time ago." Huo Zhuzhu said softly, but there is no difference in how you listen to it. The taste of tsundere and show off.
"Wow~~ Sister Zhuzhu, you are so willing~~"
"Yes, our company knows how to enjoy it. Sister Zhuzhu is still the first."
"The family has packaged an island so that everyone on the island will serve me. I want to have such a life in my dreams~~"
A few little girls were chatting, Huo Zhuzhu smiled softly and fully enjoyed their worship.
Xiao Qi also secretly smiled and shook his head. This girl is really willing to spend money on pleasure. It cost 2 million in 2 weeks. Even in 2008, when the Maldives was not yet occupied by Chinese tourists, even the small islands were amazing!
"You don't understand, what am I? Many rich people have bought their own private islands in the Maldives. That's a great one!" Huo Zhuzhu said, "The island I'm going to this time is It belongs to a Frenchman. I heard that he only spent 200,000 U.S. dollars when he bought it 20 years ago. Now you can't buy it for 5 million U.S. dollars!"
"Wow, I really envy foreigners, and I can buy islands myself." A girl said, "Sister Zhuzhu. When you have money, you can just buy an island and let us go on a trip too. That's great~~"
"You shouldn't ask me about this. You can find the eldest sister before she has the money to buy it." Huo Zhuzhu said, "But it's not easy. Now the Maldives no longer sell islands. There are only dozens of islands before. Only those who bought the islands in the year have the right to sell their islands. But now the tourism industry in Maldives is getting hotter and hotter. Many of them are just renting out, and they have already made a lot of money. No one is ready to sell it. ."
Several girls discussed the beauty of the Maldives there again, and it took a full hour to end the conversation with unsatisfactory thoughts.
Xiao Qi had already quietly left the dining room and returned to the office.
What Huo Zhuzhu said just now reminded Xiao Qi of something. That is, I can buy a few small islands and give them to my parents and wives. The significance of this is much better than giving away some houses, jewelry and antiques.
Foreign islands are fully owned. Buying it is the property for generations. Unless it is an undersea volcanic eruption that destroys the island, or the sea level rises and floods the island, you can hold it forever.
Among the islands for sale, several are the most famous.
The first one is the British Virgin Islands. Xiao Qi’s friend, Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin, bought a small island here and rented it out for others to use after renovation.
Then there is the Bahamas, where David Copperfield, the king of magic, bought 4 small islands in one go.
The third is an artificial island near Dubai. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt bought one here, but this is not the birthday present of the "heart-shaped island" Angelina gave to Pete. The island is near New York.
In the above three areas, the development of private islands is very mature. Basically, they have templates for construction. Water, electricity, transportation, etc. are very convenient.
What is left is the coastal areas of some countries, such as the United States, Brazil, Thailand, etc., which usually exist alone and do not become a climate. It requires great efforts to repair, build and coordinate infrastructure.
Xiao Qi didn't like these areas, but the private islands in the Maldives mentioned by Huo Zhuzhu.
Because the Maldives is indeed a very beautiful place, very suitable for relaxing and exclusive travel, the scenery here can not be described as a paradise on earth.
If you want to get rid of the harassment of the world, then coming to the Maldives is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
As for the rumor that the Maldives is likely to be submerged due to climate warming, Xiao Qi doesn't believe it.
Because 20 years ago, when the Maldives solicited tourists from all over the world, it used the gimmick of "a string of pearls that will disappear on the earth in twenty years."
Then twenty years later, the Maldives propaganda became "a string of pearls that will disappear on the earth in twenty years."
The global warming is a fact, but the speed is not as exaggerated as advertised. These crisis legends are just spread by the Maldives in order to arouse your desire to travel.
In the eyes of a teenager, it is impossible for such a thing to happen for at least 100 years.
It is enough to buy a few islands for my wife and parents, and have decades of enjoyment time for my family to enjoy.
As for what islands future generations want to buy, that is their business, and Xiao Qi doesn't need to give them too thoughtful consideration.
However, the trouble is that the Maldives has not sold islands since a few years ago. So far, there are only more than 60 private islands, most of which have been used as holiday islands.
The Maldives is an archipelago country, with about 1,200 islands, of which only more than 100 are developed and utilized. By 2013, there will be more than 200. Most of the islands are still undeveloped.
As for whether to buy islands that have been purchased by private individuals, or to focus on those undeveloped islands, Xiao Qi did not make up his mind.
However, he is the subject of consultation.
After making a call to the headquarters of Citibank in Chengdu, Qu Liang, the vice president, quickly picked up the call: "Hey, Qi Shao, you rarely call me!"
"What is rare? Is there still less business I give you?" Xiao Qi laughed, "A good thing is coming, President Qu, I have a big deal for you!"
Qu Liang's spirits lifted up, "Little Qi, you just ordered it!"
Even Xiao Qi said it was a big deal, so it was worth it?
"I want to buy 10-20 islands in the Maldives, how can you get it done?" Xiao Qi was also unambiguous, and directly stated his requirements.
Citibank is not so much a bank as it is a broker. In addition to the bank's own business, they also have many private customized services to meet all the requirements of their customers. This is the belief of their American banks and investment banks-to satisfy customers. , Make money!
Qu Liang's knowledge is still very broad, and he was taken aback when he heard the words: "Isn't the Maldives no longer selling islands?"
"If it's that easy, what am I looking for you for?" Xiao Qi asked rhetorically, "Try to help me realize this wish, the islands of Maldives are not cheap! Two or three hundred million dollars in business, in Chengdu branch, should not be small Right?"
"That's true." Qu bright spot nodded, and he also realized that this is Xiao Qi's business, and the growth of this relationship alone is a good thing.
"You have to do it better, lest Tony say there, why don't I let him do it." Xiao Qi smiled and said.
"Hehe, there is nothing you can do if you want to find Tony." Qu Liang suddenly smiled: "I'm sorry, Qi Shao, introduce myself again, my son Qu Liang, will soon be the president of Citibank Chengdu Branch. , Please enlighten me in the future!"
"Oh?" Xiao Qi was amazed, "Tony...has been elevated?"
"Haha~www.readwn.com~Yes." Qu Liang replied: "He went to a meeting in New York a few days ago and called back to say that he was about to be transferred to the post of Hong Kong branch president, the former Hong Kong branch president Mo Qi Yev will serve as the president of the Asian region, and Mr. Jabil, the former president of the Asian region, will serve as the executive vice president of Citibank."
Qu Liang talked about such a big series of job changes, but Xiao Qi understood it as soon as he heard it. This was purely a sign that the Asian department of Jabil's department had won a big victory.
"Where is Wade?" Xiao Qi asked smoothly.
"Mr. Wade also entered the head office, taking on his old business, as the head of the asset management department." Qu Liang smiled and said, "I really can't hide you from you!"
When Xiao Qi asked Wade, it represented that he knew the reason.
Talking to smart people is that simple.
Speaking of, the high-levels of the Asian department were promoted with a big victory. On the one hand, it was because of the shock after the subprime mortgage crisis. On the other hand, they were mostly based on their friendship with Xiao Qi and made beautiful achievements. ! (To be continued.
