Chapter 1753 Reclamation
"Jiafeng Jiayue, this is a gift from my brother!" As soon as Jia Jiafeng and Jiayue entered the house, they saw Boss Jia smiled and stuffed two red envelopes into their hands.
Jia Jiafeng and Jia Jiayue's sisters were empty inside, and their hearts were chilling. Whether his brother lost or not was stupid, he gave him the empty red envelope.
But then I thought about it, even if my brother lost tens of billions of dollars, it seemed that there were tens of billions of dollars, so I would not be so angry that I would be crazy.
So the two sisters tore open the envelope and found that there were actually two simple contracts inside. The contract was written in Chinese and another foreign language that the sisters were not familiar with.
After reading the Chinese language of this contract, the two sisters took a breath because it was actually two small purchase contracts.
According to the contract, Boss Jia spent $5.3 million and $6.12 million respectively to buy two coral islands in a country called Maldives.
These are two islands with an area of 2.1 square kilometers and 2.3 square kilometers respectively. In terms of area, they are not very large, and they are not even one-tenth of the size of Daqian Industrial Park.
However, according to the contract, after Boss Jia paid, these two islands were completely owned by Boss Jia’s private islands. Boss Jia owns the complete sovereignty of these two islands and is owned for generations. No one can change it. Even if the Maldives country wants to take it back in the future, it will be a breach of contract.
"These two islands are gifts given to you by my brother!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "If you are interested, go to your own island to take a look. If you are not interested, your brother will also send someone to help you take care of it!"
"There will be more than a dozen construction teams on it soon, so as to ensure that your island is beautiful!"
"Brother!" Did Jia Jiafeng and Jia Jiayue dream that Boss Jia would give him this gift?
But after thinking about it, it seems that this is really a very cool thing. I actually own an island that belongs entirely to me. This is undoubtedly a very exciting thing for the two sisters who grew up in China.
"Thank you brother!" Both sisters said with a smile, and Boss Jia also smiled.
"By the way, since you bought it for us two, didn't you buy it yourself? You won't let us live alone on a small island!" Jia Jiafeng said with a pout.
"Don't worry, my brother naturally bought it, and I bought more. With yours, I bought 26 islands. Anyway, I bought all the islands near that area!" Boss Jia smiled.
"26 islands!" The two sisters were stunned. "Brother, how much does it cost!"
"It's not expensive. Your island is the second and third largest of these 26 islands. Except for one of my main islands, the other islands are below two square kilometers. All islands are only about 31 square kilometers together, and the combined price is less than 100 million US dollars! It's really cheap!" Boss Jia sighed, while Jia Jiafeng and Jia Jiayue stuck out their tongues at the same time, spending 100 million US dollars in one breath and still felt that it was cheap. In the whole of China, only his brother is qualified to say such things.
"Wait, brother, I remember I read a report. There are less than 1,200 islands in the Maldives, 298 square kilometers. Isn't this equivalent to buying more than 1/10 of the land area in one go?" After all, Jia Jiayue has read a lot of books, and he actually knows the specific data of the small country of Maldives.
"Well, it's more than 1/10 of the land area!" Boss Jia nodded.
"Damn, this country sold one-tenth of its territory in one go. Aren't he afraid of being sprayed to death by his own people?" Jia Jiafeng exclaimed.
"Hahaha, don't worry, since the Maldives dares to sell, what's the reason I dare not buy it!" Boss Jia laughed and said, "This group of islands is located in the southernmost part of the Maldives. The 26 islands have the largest area, but only one island is inhabited, and the total number of people is only more than 300, all of them are fishermen. The rest are all uninhabited islands and have almost no commercial development value, so the Maldives sold these islands to me so simply!"
"The Asian financial crisis has not yet passed, and the domestic economic crisis in the Maldives has even become more and more serious. Their country has already owed hundreds of millions of dollars in debt to the World Bank. If they have no money to repay the loan, their country will have to go bankrupt, so they are naturally willing to sell it to me!" Boss Jia said with a hint.
This year, the price of islands in Maldives is indeed very cheap, and it is the only period in history when permanent ownership can be purchased.
Later, with the increase of Chinese tourists, the Maldives fought desperately to engage in vacation marketing in China. All kinds of sea water that were bluer than the sky filled China, which made the Maldives' economy take off in an instant. When it reached its peak in 2018, the entire country actually had a GDP of US$4.9 billion, which was 20 times higher than in 2000.
However, it is worth mentioning that the president of the Maldives was occupied by pro-Western politicians. He really ate Chinese food while scolding Chinese mothers.
However, Chinese people are not very rich now, so the Maldives are still suffering. When Boss Jia expressed his willingness to pay $100 million to buy these barren islands in the eyes of locals, the Maldives naturally signed the contract without hesitation.
"When the time comes, spend some money and relocate those hundreds of people. This island is our own chassis. Everyone can have fun there!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "By the way, you two will give your two islands a name, so that we can leave traces of ourselves on the world map in the future."
"Really!" Jia Jiayue and Jia Jiafeng were excited at the same time and began to imagine every second. In the end, Jia Jiafeng named his island "Didi", and Jia Jiayue followed suit and named his island "Dingding".
"Diedi and Dingding..." Boss Jia tasted these two names. Although it had an indescribable sense of visualization, it also conformed to the aesthetic standards of women's cuteness. So these two islands, which were originally unknown in the world and history, finally had their own names: Dingding and Dingding, are really gratifying!
"But brother, I found that 70% or 80% of these small islands are not suitable for building houses or living in humans. Only some places on the beach can build houses. Is it a bit of a loss for us to buy so many small islands?" Jia Jiafeng asked reluctantly.
