Chapter 452 Thoughts (first update)

"The superior department has only confirmed that the matter is true. As for more information, it is still being collected. After all, it is too far away from us." Sun Aiguo didn't understand these situations at all. When he saw the information, he also had a look on his face. Confused.

Liu Hai read the introduction carefully and found that it was an island covering an area of ​​12 square kilometers, and it could be developed freely. In addition, it also had the right to develop a certain sea area around the island.

It can accommodate seaplanes, yachts, etc.

Liu Hai had heard about private islands all his life, but I didn't expect to get them so quickly. I also knew that there were more islands in Fiji, because the entire population there was only 800,000 when Liu Hai traveled through.

More than half of the islands in the country are uninhabited, and they are all available for sale.

The biggest expense when buying an island is actually not the purchase price, but the subsequent development.

There is no water, no electricity, and no infrastructure. It is 1600 kilometers away from Australia, the nearest country with complete infrastructure.

Most building materials and other equipment are basically imported from there.

Moreover, there is no port or the like for import, and the private island needs to be re-transported and then built.

So not many islands can be sold there. The most popular islands are Greece and then the Caribbean, because these two places have developed transportation, just like Greece and the Caribbean. No matter which direction you look in, there are relatively developed countries. .

Basically, there are signals on the islands, but when I bought the island in Fiji, there was no signal at all, only satellite phones.

After purchasing islands in the Caribbean and Greece, various facilities such as cables can be connected from the land.

Only real billionaires can buy islands and build private islands in the same place as the plane.

Then I saw another gift and was surprised again.

"Is this also given by the Queen?" Liu Hai was indeed a little surprised. (Because the word "Queen" involves sensitivity, I use "Your Majesty" in front of it, but sometimes it feels weird. Please think of a word to replace it.)

"This is nothing, isn't it? It's just a pair of blue and white porcelain bottles given by Qianlong?" Sun Aiguo looked at what Liu Hai was pointing at, not feeling surprised at all.

All right! Liu Haibai was very excited because in his previous life, Liu Haibai knew that Qianlong had given a batch of gifts to the King of England, including a pair of blue and white porcelain jars with lids.

When Liu Hai was abroad on business in his previous life, he often walked around museums and looked around.

Of course, the British Museum will not miss it, but some people say that most of the exhibits in the British Museum are fakes. They have been secretly replaced by those people long ago, and they have become the private collection of some people. They don’t know whether they are true or false.

"The reason why the other party gave so many things this time is actually because of the yacht you designed and supervised the construction of. It is said that now Western dignitaries, celebrities and politicians want to go on the yacht to visit and browse, so many celebrities and politicians take turns to visit the other party."

"The reputation of their royal family has skyrocketed. Although I can't thank you publicly, the gifts given in private must not be shabby or reflect their status." Sun Aiguo's words were actually analyzed by his superior department.

Liu Hai nodded. The gift was indeed too shabby and not worthy of her status.

Then there is a batch of bone china ordered by their royal family.

There are also several oil paintings, including those by Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Michelangelo.

How rich is the British royal family? In my last life, Liu Hai saw a statistic.

The royal family is not only the largest landowner in London, but also the largest landowner in the entire UK. It is also a major shareholder of the Bank of England. It also owns 55% of the beaches in the UK, hundreds of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, and paintings by other famous writers worth thousands. billion dollars.

Not to mention the various antiques I collected before, from all over the world.

"What a rich woman!" Liu Hai looked at these gifts. Although he didn't know the value of these oil paintings, as long as they were from these celebrities, they were basically not much different.

Of course, the price now is definitely not as outrageous as it was when I found out later.

However, Liu Hai estimated that the total amount may only be a few million US dollars. After all, the islands in Fiji will definitely not be sold for a high price now.

After all, Fiji's islands were relatively cheap in a previous life, with a 6-acre land selling for just over 1000 million US dollars.

The main reason is that transportation is inconvenient. If the same land is sold in the Caribbean and Greece, it will sell for more.

But I don’t dislike things that come for free. When I went to the South Pacific, the scenery was really good and the products were rich. Many places are rich in such things as black gold abalone.

For other private individuals, it is difficult to develop the islands there, but if we make a resale lease here, we can build as many facilities as we want, and Liu Hai also knows that many of the facilities in Fiji were built by us later. , so they are friendly to us.

Of course, if no one is willing to help, then it is not difficult for Liu Hai to develop it himself. At worst, he can build an airport on it, build a water pier, and then use seaplanes to travel there.

"Next time, let the queen give herself some islands in Southeast Asia." There is a bit of extravagance around the bangs.

Because many places in Southeast Asia are still protected by them, just like Brunei was protected by them before 84.

"But I seem to have heard that Niu Niu is doing something over there. After they finish things, can I build two islands for fun?"

"After all, the local government will definitely be full of resources when the time comes, and it will be no problem to spend some money to buy two islands." Liu Hai has great confidence in Niu Niu's troubles.

Niu Niu's martial arts skills were destroyed by his own people before, otherwise, the whole Niu Niu would not be lonely.

In the past, when the royal family and nobles were in charge, it was an empire on which the sun never sets. Later, when the people in the parliament rose up, it became what it is now.

Of course, Liu Hai will not disclose these plans, and then these islands will be privately leased to our domestic companies.

As for what domestic companies are used for, that is our housework, and you outsiders cannot interfere.

There is no way to donate this thing, but it is easier to talk about it in a private place. After it is donated, the level will rise too high, but it will have a great impact.

If the West wants to interfere with private property at that time, it will be a slap in the face, and some things are convenient for private individuals to come forward.

There is still room for change when private individuals come forward to cause trouble.

"Boss, is it appropriate for me to keep these things?" Although Liu Hai was very moved, he still had to ask.

Although Comrade Sun Aiguo expressed his position last time, he still needs to ask for instructions.

"I said last time that this was a personal gift from the other party, and it would not be good for you to donate it." Sun Aiguo said. What Sun Aiguo said was also what the superior department leaders meant, because the people involved were very influential. After all, it was a gift from a private person. There was no reason to give it to the public right away. It would not be good to spread the word.

Even the superior leader personally stated that this is a private gift. If private gifts have to be handed over, then does Comrade Liu Hai have to hand over his own certificate?

Moreover, Comrade Liu Hai's influence and contribution are obvious to everyone. If anyone makes irresponsible remarks on this, many people will come up and block his mouth.

"And the other party said that he is looking forward to your other yachts and more of your works." Sun Aiguo said again.

Liu Hai nodded when he heard this and decided to turn the king of Stormwind City in the fantasy novel into a queen.

As long as the other party is generous and willing, then it doesn't matter if you learn more complimentary words in the novel.

Don't these old nobles just care about their aristocratic system? So many outstanding members of these nobles died in the first battle, so I would write about how brave the nobles were in the war with the orc tribe.

"Maybe then we won't have to pay to buy the island, and they will give it to us." Liu Hai definitely can't write the nobles as bad as others in the novel, otherwise it will not be easily accepted by the Western mainstream.

Despite the claims of freedom and equality in the West, in fact everyone envies the nobility. As long as the nobility makes some moves, others will quickly follow suit.

Of course, Sun Aiguo didn't know that Liu Hai had heard his words and had turned the male king in the novel into a female king.

"But I'm afraid our reputation will be bad in the future? Some little black people may point to our profile picture and say, look! Look! This guy writes novels in one day, worships foreigners, and earns so many islands." But bangs I am also a little worried about my future reputation. After all, there are many black people, especially those who have taken money.

"I'm imagining a fantasy novel here. Let's show it to them then, but the content may not be suitable for us." Liu Hai said something about it when he heard Sun Aiguo say that the other party was looking forward to his work. .

"It's okay, what they give you personally is not equivalent to our country's." Sun Aiguo waved his hands after hearing this.

Liu Hai decided to tell the dealer next time if he could give himself an island or two in Southeast Asia, not so far away.

The main reason is that it is too far away and it is really inconvenient to come and go. Southeast Asia is so nice. It takes only a few hours to fly there. If you go there in the morning, you can go back to Kyoto for dinner in the evening.

Some people say how can you be so fast?

Liu Hai thinks that when he retires, he will probably be able to fly a private jet.

Thinking of this, Liu Hai was ready to give the five old nobles the yacht renderings they wanted as soon as possible.

Don't drag these old guys into trouble when the time comes. After all, each generation has its own ideas.

"It's just these two barrels of red wine. I wonder if it's broken?" Liu Hai was worried about the two barrels of red wine.

This is a large oak barrel, the one with a capacity of more than 200 liters. The production area seems to be Burgundy. Regarding red wine, Liu Hai is not very clear about it.

There seemed to be books about this kind of thing on the aircraft carrier, but Liu Hai didn't pay much attention to them. To Liu Hai, red wine just tasted like that.

how to say? Red wine bangs considers himself a homebody. Sprite mixed with red wine feels very right. Red wine alone tastes a bit astringent. As for the fruity woody aroma, Liu Hai honestly didn't taste it.

On the other hand, the wine made from honey at home is very enjoyable to drink because it is sweet!

"This will definitely not be broken. They kept it very well when they gave it to you, but do you have a place to keep it here?" Sun Aiguo answered affirmatively. When the superior department checks and accepts it, it must be checked by knowledgeable people, otherwise it will be sent to you when the time comes. If it breaks in the hands of Comrade Liu Hai, it will be troublesome.

"I really don't have a place here." Liu Hai didn't know anything else, but he also knew that red wine seemed to have to be kept in a certain temperature and humidity environment, preferably in a cellar.

In our country, Ningxia and Shandong are the only two places where red wine is good, and there are also some red wines in the east.

It's a bit strange to say that the best fruits grow in places with mountains.

"How about I donate it." Liu Hai didn't know how many years the wine could be stored, but he seemed to remember that the longest was only 10 to 15 years.

"It is said that this seems to have a shelf life. What a pity if it goes bad?" Liu Hai was not sure whether the red wine had a shelf life, so he asked.

"Let me ask for you. If it doesn't work, ask the superior department to replace it with Moutai or other liquor. These wines are still very good for entertaining foreign guests." After Sun Aiguo heard this, he directly helped Liu Hai make the decision.

Liu Hai also nodded. As long as it doesn't expire, it can be saved. The higher-level department will definitely find out anyway.

"You should be able to get a lot of money in the second quarter, and it is expected to arrive in mid-September." Sun Aiguo said another thing.

Liu Hai knew that they were talking about the share of toy patents and the share of movie box office.

"I just feel like I'm losing money for you, but I also feel like you're earning money from foreigners to pay for college and so on, so I want to have a drink." Sun Aiguo looked at Liu Hai and said.

The main reason is that bangs have grown so fast that celebrities all over the world have to give gifts, and the gifts they give are valuable and unheard of.

This gave Sun Aiguo an unreal feeling, and it was incredible that he could get so much money for his bangs.

"This is an island, an antique, and an oil painting. I think you, Xiao Liu, can't see through it. You can't see through it."

"Sometimes I wonder, if I had as much money as you, would I be willing to donate it? Most likely I wouldn't be able to part with it?"

"But what you said is right when I think about it. I, the factory director, can't even spend my salary. What do I need so much money for? I want to imitate those landlords who bury their money in the ground?"

"I think again, Xiao Liu, a Kyoto native, you can actually be recognized by Westerners. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I think I am dreaming." Sun Aiguo looked at Liu Hai and was very emotional, because the superior department said that the money distributed this time Probably more than last time.

Sun Aiguo felt that if he beat the gongs and drums one day and told this matter, people around him would definitely think that he was a lunatic or a psychopath.

Not to mention tens of millions of US dollars, not many people will believe you now if you say you have 1 US dollars.

Liu Hai chuckled when he heard this: "It proves that we can make it up."

"As for the Transformers cartoon, I can't figure out how a car can turn into a robot. The key is that I made so much money and I can't figure it out." Sun Aiguo still can't figure it out.

　Second update at noon.
