Chapter 2833 Island?
"Just ask."
Old Xu patted his chest and said, "I, Old Xu, don't dare to say anything else. I have been doing land business abroad for decades, so I know something about this."
"good."
Zhao Tiezhu nodded and said, "Is it easy for us Chinese to buy land in foreign countries?"
"Well, it's relatively easy. It's a capitalist society outside. You know, in a capitalist society, profit comes first. As long as you can pay enough, you can buy anything." Lao Xu said.
"Well, it's easy to buy land. Then I want to buy... uh, a small island or something. Is that okay? I can buy a property with one hundred years of property rights and two hundred years of property rights." Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"Well, buying an island is actually not difficult. The key is the property rights..." Lao Xu said, "Nowadays, when buying islands abroad, they only give you the right to use it. You know, you can spend a sum of money and get how much money you have on the island. The ten-year right to use, of course, also includes the surrounding sea areas, and the property rights cannot be grasped by you. Even if the owner of the land is willing, the other country will not be willing. This is equivalent to you buying It’s someone else’s territory.”
"Oh, you can only buy the right to use it." Zhao Tiezhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you can take it away if you say you can."
"That's not possible." Lao Xu said, "Although the interests of capitalist countries come first, they have a good habit of acting in accordance with the contract. To put it simply, you buy this island for a hundred years. Right to use, basically they will not create any complications, such as suddenly driving you away after ten years of use. This kind of thing is written into the law abroad, and if the government does that, you It is absolutely possible to sue the government. This kind of thing is incomparable between foreign countries and China. "
"In other words, I spend a sum of money to buy the right to use an island for a hundred years, and then I can live there for a hundred years, and no one will care about you, right?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"You can't say that. Sometimes you have to pay some value-added tax and other fees, as well as the maintenance of the island and the management of the surrounding sea areas. You have to do it yourself. In fact, many countries are still happy to sell the right to use the island. On the one hand, you can make money; on the other hand, you can also have people help the country take care of the islands. You must know that the maintenance costs of these islands add up to quite a staggering amount. Especially in the context of the current global economic crisis, these costs are a source of pressure. It is weighing heavily on the government's mind, so if you want to buy an island, it is best to buy it at this stage recently. Not only is the price cheap, but the local government will also provide many preferential measures. I even heard that Nan Over in the Pacific, if you buy an island, the government will have a dedicated security force to protect you," Lao Xu said.
"oh."
Zhao Tiezhu nodded and said, "What procedures are needed to purchase the island?"
"This is necessary. You have to go through connections with the country, and the relevant procedures are more complicated. But if you leave it to me, it can be done in one day. What, Brother Tiezhu, are you planning to buy one? What about a small island? There are basically no people who can buy small islands in China now. Firstly, the cost is too high, and secondly, the national approval process is also very strict. Even if you buy a small island, the government may ask you to borrow it someday. Yes, the people who sell the island will not take care of you, but the Shenzhou Government will take care of it. Some people in the Shenzhou Government have virtuous surnames. Brother Tiezhu, you should understand. As long as you are a citizen of this country, then they You have the right to use anything you own, including the right to use the foreign island you bought," Lao Xu said.
"Oh, you mean, even if I buy the island and the Chinese government says it will be requisitioned, I will have to be requisitioned." Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"Of course, otherwise the government will slap you with a big hat and accuse you of treason. Otherwise, why are you buying an island abroad? Isn't it for your future escape, right? However, if you say iron "Brother Zhu, it's not a big deal. Your relationship with Zheng Ax is strong enough. I don't think anyone would bother you." Lao Xu complimented Zhao Tiezhu.
"That's true." Zhao Tiezhu accepted the flattery with peace of mind, and then asked, "If I want to buy an island now, it is better over there. The island over there has a better environment and will not be disturbed."
"Usually you buy them in island countries in the Pacific, such as Fiji, but now many people are buying islands in the Bahamas because the scenery there is beautiful and the weather is pretty good all year round. Several islands there have been bought by others. The most famous one is the world's top magician David Copperfield. He has four islands there and they have been developed into a very wonderful place. The total investment is rumored to be more than 60 million. In fact, according to the information I know, Dawei has invested at least 100 million US dollars there. However, the income there is very good. Brother Tiezhu, do you plan to also develop it? A similar place, you can make money quickly, but you have to have a strong consumer group," Lao Xu said.
"I don't like places with many people." Zhao Tiezhu said, "Is there any place with fewer people and better conditions?"
"We also have this." Old Xu said. That place is near the Hawaiian Islands. There is an island that is sold together. The environment and other things are quite good, and it is very suitable for human life. However, the price is too expensive. It is said that the owner hopes that the island can be sold for 1 billion US dollars. This is simply impossible. No matter how beautiful that place is, it is not the mainland after all. 1 billion, just for the right to use it for a hundred years, who would buy that place." Old Xu said.
"Oh, that place is better than the Bahamas you mentioned before." Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"Of course it is that place. It is called the Burville Islands. There is no such island on the currently known world map because the owner of that island does not allow people to draw it, and that person's power in the Western world is also quite powerful. Therefore, until now, the Burville Islands have not appeared in front of the world. I only knew about this island when I attended a party when I went to the United States last year."
"Burville Islands, who is the owner of the island. "Zhao Tiezhu asked in a pertinent manner.
"Who is the island owner? This is a secret in the outside world. However, I heard from my friend that the owner of the island is called Prince Rothschild. "
