NO.160 Freehold
? The British Virgin Islands have their own business of selling islands, but what they sell are all insignificant islands, the big ones are only two or three square kilometers, and the small ones are not even as big as elementary school playgrounds.
It’s okay to build a holiday villa on this kind of pocket island, but if you want to build a human body freezing center, you also need an airport, a wharf, and a secret base, then don’t even think about it.
To meet Zhang Heng's requirements, the best island to buy is about ten square kilometers, and at least five or six square kilometers.
The next day, Lewis Stanney made a few calls, not knowing what she had promised the Governor and Chief Minister of the Virgin Islands, but after a few hours, she put down the phone, "Okay, you They have accepted the request and purchased the X9 uninhabited island for one billion dollars. Soon a client will come to sign a contract with you.”
"Money can make a ghost run the mill, and capitalism really has something to learn from." Zhang Heng said a few words silently. He originally thought that Stanley would need a lot of trouble, but he did not expect the smooth process to surprise him. .
But this is also reasonable. Although the Stanley Consortium is not as good as the top ten consortia in the United States, it is booming in the United Kingdom. Although the political system of the British Vikings is self-governing on the surface, it is a multi-party ruling system after all. The Governor is elected by the British government and appointed by the Queen. The defense and foreign affairs of the islands are also the responsibility of the United Kingdom. In short, the British Virgin Islands basically no longer have any sovereignty.
So, Stanney personally went out and got it all in no time.
But about two hours later, an old-fashioned old man walked into the villa with three potbellied officials. When Zhang Heng came to the conference hall of the villa, everyone was already sitting in chairs waiting for him.
Stony walked in, and everyone stood up politely. It is conceivable that the Stani family's status in the United Kingdom, although not as famous as the royal family, but its actual power has already exceeded the royal family.
"Your Excellency Stanley, we have already brought the contract, and we only need a signature from Stephen Zhang to complete the transaction." The old-fashioned old man said in a hoarse voice.
Stephen Zhang is the name on Zhang Heng's British ID card. For convenience, Zhang Heng owns the ID cards of 80% of the countries in the world, and there are corresponding information in the national archives, all of whom are Yuehua himself. Intrusion into the computer of various countries forged information.
Of course, forgery to such an extent can no longer be called forgery. There is no standard to define true and false, and there is no evidence to prove that Zhang Heng is not British.
"It's time to start." Stanley sat on the side of the fair seat, while Zhang Heng sat across from a few people, separated by a conference table.
"Dear Mr. Stephen Zhang,
Opposite you is the British Virgin Islands ambassador, Mr. John Seven and his team. Before leaving, the British Virgin Governor and Executive Minister have fully appointed three people as negotiators this time, you don't have to worry about them identity issue. "The old-fashioned old man said solemnly.
Zhang Heng nodded, put on the white gloves and gold-rimmed glasses prepared on the table, and then took the contract handed over by the other party and turned the pages.
Ordinary people may not understand these if they have not studied law, but with Zhang Heng's brainpower, these documents are just glanced at casually, and all the content is directly reflected into the cerebral cortex like a camera, and then transmitted at high speed. Nerve bundles are classified, stored and viewed, but it is only the interval between page turning, and all the information on the previous page has been quickly digested by him, and he can even do it backwards!
However, everyone thought that Zhang Heng was just flipping through it casually, or at most carefully, but in about two minutes, Zhang Heng had already flipped through it from beginning to end.
"How are you, are you satisfied with this contract?" John Seven, the leader, had a kind smile on his face. If you don't look at his thief-eyed appearance, he could be regarded as an English gentleman, but his Zhang's shiny face, no matter how you look at it, is an old and cunning person.
"Mr. Saiwen, I think you are mistaken." Zhang Heng crossed his arms in front of his eyes, his face gloomy, "I want freehold property rights, not a hundred years of management rights, otherwise I will pay a billion-dollar price, you guys Do you think I'm a fool and have a lot of money?"
"One billion?" Saiwen was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Stanney beside him.
"Cough cough..." Stanney coughed awkwardly, "I'm very sorry, I remembered it wrongly. The price Mr. Zhang offered was one billion, not one hundred million."
Zhang Heng's face twitched, this Stanley actually wanted to take 90% of the rebate? He suddenly had the urge to shoot Stanney down with one shot.
Everyone present showed a strange look, and Saiwen also hesitated, "Mr. Zhang, I admit that this is a price that is difficult to refuse, but if we want to sell the freehold property, I still need to discuss it with the Governor."
"No problem." Zhang Heng nodded, "Please."
Immediately, Seven and his team left the conference room and went outside to make a phone call.
But Stanney said seriously, "Zhang, do you have to have permanent property rights?"
"Yes, it must be a freehold property, otherwise I would rather not buy it."
"Then can you tell me the reason for buying the island?" Stanley looked at Zhang Heng solemnly, "I can help you, but I must know the reason for buying the island."
If what Zhang Heng did when he bought the island harmed the interests of England, then as a guarantor, the Stanley family would also be attacked by the country, and even collapsed directly.
Zhang Heng showed a meaningful look, "Don't worry, I will not do anything unfavorable to the UK, I just want to buy an island to build a human body freezing center."
"That's it, I thought it was unfair to our European countries that you set up a cryonics center in India." Stanney said simply, "It would be nice to say that, but I still need 200 milliliters of new genes. The medicine is used as a reward, excluding the promised 100 milliliters, you know, my rebate is gone."
"No problem!" Zhang Heng nodded decisively.
Stanney nodded, turned and walked out of the conference room. About ten minutes later, several people walked back together, and the negotiation officially continued.
"Mr. Zhang, I have discussed with the Governor. If you can really donate one billion US dollars to our archipelago, we can sell you the freehold property of the X9 island in the far northeast." Saiwen said solemnly, British Viking The total population is only 20,000. Even if the billion is divided equally, each person can get 50,000 US dollars, which is a huge sum of money.
"Of course." Zhang Heng took over the revised contract and looked over it again. The new contract has fully granted Zhang Heng's freehold property rights. That is to say, after signing this contract, legally speaking, X9 has completely belonged to Although Stephen Zhang is still under the jurisdiction of the British Virgin, no one has the right to interfere with what Zhang Heng does on the island.
Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction, the two sides shook hands politely, and then everyone had a lunch at Stanley's invitation. After the other party left, Zhang Heng said to Stanley, "Stanny, thank you very much, you helped I'm very busy."
"Everyone takes what they need." Stanley smiled charmingly, "I admit that you are a very attractive gentleman. If you can, can you invite a beautiful lady to dinner tonight?"
"I have something to do, see you next time." Zhang Heng waved his hand quickly.
Stanny was about to say something, but suddenly a flower appeared in front of her. When she saw everything in front of her again, Zhang Heng's figure had completely disappeared from the room.
