Chapter 2793 Greek Tricks

The situation in Italy mentioned by Brali is very bad, and it can only be compared to a few years ago.

If Italy is compared with Greece, then Italy can still be said to be living well.

With the help of Xiao Qi, the European debt crisis in this life broke out much more ferociously than in the previous life, and Greece, which bears the brunt, is even more miserable.

It is no exaggeration to say that since December last year, citizens across Greece have been If the European Central Bank hadn’t urgently borrowed hundreds of millions of euros to pay Greece’s salaries, I’m afraid the police would have to find another way out because they don’t have salaries.

It's no fun without the police watching over an already chaotic country!

But even so, it is impossible to quench Greece's thirst with a mere few hundred million euros.

They have owed too much debt over the years, and their ability to create wealth is getting weaker day by day. Basically, they have lived on loans for the past few years. Once the capital chain breaks, it is completely out of collapse.

If a country can't even repay its debts, then they are completely bankrupt in terms of credit, and those creditors can take over the finances of the country of Greece and auction off national wealth to pay off debts-just like the liquidation after a company's bankruptcy, as long as Can be at the mercy of others.

Not that there is no solution.

The International Monetary Fund has actively proposed a rescue plan of more than 70 billion euros. As long as Greece agrees, the first tranche of more than 20 billion euros will be transferred to Greece's national account to help Greece survive the coming wave after wave. wave of debt default risk.

Ok.

This International Monetary Fund is the one who made a fortune during the Asian financial turmoil in 1997, and finally even controlled half of South Korea's financial and banking industry.

And the method they used at that time was exactly the same as that used to help Greece now.

It’s just that the Koreans had no choice but to be foolish at that time, so they were fooled and handed over their country’s financial lifeline since then, until the rise of conglomerates such as Samsung and LG in the past few years. It's a little better.

Now they are repeating the old tricks, and Greece is not so easy to deceive.

Although the Greeks are not good at economics, when it comes to intrigue, Greece also has a history of thousands of years. But it is not lacking.

They also have smart people who can see at a glance how sinister intentions are contained in this rescue plan.

If Greece agrees to this plan, then Greece's finance will be under the control of the International Monetary Fund from now on, and how the Greeks use their money. How to make money, how to invest, how to get loans, how to do business... As long as it is financial-related, it must be approved by the International Monetary Fund. They are equivalent to Greece's behind-the-scenes manipulators.

How can this be?

Although I'm down and out, it's not up to you, a mere banking organization, to take control!

There are even more exaggerated.

Before the Greek government rejected them, the people here heard the news, and then heard the experts on TV talking about the conditions of the International Monetary Fund, and they immediately talked about it. Enraged. Once again, they took out their favorite game - taking to the streets. March, protest. The demonstrations were a blast.

It is impossible for them to accept such harsh conditions. At that time, how much bread they eat in a day will have to be limited by others. What is the fun in life?

Greece could only make a decision immediately, rejecting the International Monetary Fund cleanly, and then immediately turned around and asked the EU for assistance.

The European Union is rich, but the problem is that it is not only your Greek family that has problems, but also Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy. These countries are also very miserable. If I were to help all of them, Germany, Britain and France would be dragged down directly, and then the EU would no longer exist.

Therefore, the EU has no way to make a move, and can only give a little charity. For example, hundreds of millions of euros in salary as before, even if I am already helping.

This situation has continued, and the Greeks can't see any hope in their depression, so they swim. Row. Not only did the demonstrations not stop, but they became more and more frequent.

It was not until March 12 that a nationwide industrial strike finally broke out in Greece. work. Millions of Greek people took to the streets to protest against the government's inaction and demanded that the government take measures to effectively improve their living environment.

Watching the lively scene on TV, Xiao Qi couldn't help but sigh.

If the Greeks put all the energy of the strike on their own work, I am afraid that their economy would have improved a long time ago, and the living standards of the people would have improved a lot!

It's a pity that so many years of affluent life in the Eurozone have made them extremely lazy. They knew that they would sit and eat various subsidies from the state, but they never thought of creating more wealth with their own hands.

Of course, Xiao Qi is not only paying attention to them, but also paying attention to the next decision of Greece.

Sure enough, on the night of local time in Greece, the Greek government hastily threw out a series of economic revitalization plans.

They threw out all state-owned assets such as domestic airports, military bases, ports, public utilities, islands, etc., and put them on the market.

Generally speaking, it is "sell all assets that can be exchanged for money and use them for the country and the people."

It is indeed quite embarrassing for a country to reach this point.

But when Xiao Qi saw the price at which they sold these state-owned assets, he couldn't help laughing.

The Greeks are still not practical enough. Compared with the current market price, this price is actually the same!

Do you think these capitalists are fools?

No matter how charitable a businessman is, it is impossible to show compassion in this kind of transaction with the country!

When Greece is in such a difficult time, of course there are only those who take advantage of the fire to rob, and it is absolutely impossible to give charcoal in a timely manner. How can it be possible to buy your assets at the original price?

They are all sharpening their knives and are always ready to kill Greece. How can they rush to buy it now?

If the price does not fall to 40% to 50% of the original normal market price, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to be willing to sell!

Xiao Qi has no interest in sensitive assets in Greece, such as those related to the military or ports.

But Xiao Qi is very interested in the Greek islands.

Greece is a small country next to the Mediterranean Sea. They have a long coastline. There are more than 7,000 large and small islands in the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea. It can be said that there are many islands.

Because the Greek coastline is full of sunshine, the scenery is beautiful, and the blue sky and blue waves are very poetic, so it has always been loved by people.

Some of the islands that have been developed now have been doing a lot of tourism business in recent years. The business is not bad, and it has gradually become a pillar industry in the local area.

However, in the past two years, the subprime mortgage crisis, the financial crisis and the debt crisis have erupted consecutively. Europeans who are accustomed to paying by credit card have already grasped their wallets and dare not spend in advance. Therefore, the tourism industry of Greek islands has also been greatly affected.

In Xiao Qi's impression, Greece's tourism industry did not improve much even in 2013.

One of the big reasons is that Greece is too far away from Huaguo, and it is too unfamiliar, so the rich and local tyrants in Huaguo are not willing to go there, and then directly blow up the Maldives, making the Maldives earn money. Be full.

Xiao Qi doesn't know whether other people are interested in buying Greek islands, but he himself is interested in buying small islands for investment. After all, many Greek islands have very good conditions, definitely no worse than Maldives.

There are still many problems.

First, Greece has not really reached the end of the mountain, so the price of the island is still a bit high. An ordinary small island of 100 mu can be sold for 8 million euros. If it is a large island with a radius of two or three kilometers, the price is even higher. It is as high as more than 200 million euros. This is purely treating buyers as fat sheep.

The second point, in addition to a series of fees for buying islands, you need to pay taxes to the Greek government every year when you buy islands, and the tax rate is as high as 8%-12%, which means that the high taxes make your island ten Years or more than ten years is equivalent to buying a small island again. Why should I?

As for development costs, maintenance costs, etc., that is a trivial matter. If you want to enjoy the beauty of these islands, you have to pay more, which is normal.

So Xiao Qi still needs to wait, at least one or two years, until Greece is really unable to hold on, then Xiao Qi will go to negotiate with them.

Buy chips for at least 50 medium and large islands and hundreds of small islands. I believe the Greek government will treat it with caution!

It doesn't matter if the purchase price is high, the key is that the tax rate must be lowered, the international tax rate is generally 3%-5%, but the Greek government is so difficult, I believe it is okay to give Xiao Qi a discount of about 2%, right?

What's more, Xiao Qi still needs to develop some islands as tourist resorts, employ so many people to help manage the islands, and boost the local economy. This is something the Greek government needs to consider.

For Xiao Qi, buying islands everywhere is actually more about the Chinese people's preference for land and fixed assets.

In fact, the cost of these islands is still very high, and before they are developed and there are no guests, no one knows whether those islands used for tourism can make money like the Maldives.

Only when those tourist islands can be used to support the island expenses of the Xiao family can this business be considered a success.

Otherwise, if you keep throwing money into it, just for pleasure, I am afraid the descendants of the Xiao family will not be very happy-the expenses in Europe are much higher than those in the Maldives. There is no tax or anything, and it is very close to Huaguo, how wonderful! (~^~)
