Chapter 50: Finally Becoming the Owner of the Island
"Xiao Gu, I'm so interested, this kind of auction still has women, and it's so small. ”
After Sa Wuyang and Gu Kun sat down, he glanced at Gu Pan and Lin Ying, and shook his head slightly.
Gu Kun: "Uncle Sa misunderstood, it was my sister and her friend. My family has been dependent on each other since I was a child, and I don't hide anything from her. ”
Sa Wuyang thought back for a moment: "Remember, you have a younger sister." You did a good job of secrecy, Chen Mingcheng didn't find out where your sister studied before. ”
If Chen Mingcheng had been determined to dig three feet into the ground, he would definitely have found out.
So this matter is mainly due to Gu Kun's acting skills in paralyzing the enemy. Chen Mingcheng was busy making money, and he couldn't understand it for a while, and he ignored it because he felt that the threat was not big.
The two didn't talk for a few words, and the auction began.
The auctioneer is a guest appearance by a staff member of the Executive Board of the Lan Law Institute, and the form is all simplified.
Chen Mingcheng's two 5,000-ton oil tankers account for nearly half of his total net worth, which is something that Sa Wuyang has already hinted at.
As for Gu Kun, as the value depression of diesel prices in Huaxia is bridged, he will not have any oil transportation business to do in the future, so of course he will not rob it.
After going through the motions, Savuyang spent more than RM2 million to buy the boat with a total actual valuation of 6 million.
After getting it, Sa Wuyang said pretentiously: "For the rest, just raise the card if you like it." ”
The first lot is Chen Mingcheng's seaview villa on the main island of Lan Fang, which is a two-storey wooden beach building with a saltwater pool and oak floored courtyard, no worse than the hotel on the boutique island of the Maldives.
The auctioneer showed a set of photos on the slide, which made many other onlookers in the audience look hot.
Looking at the lively Lin Ying in the back row, I also felt bright, and I secretly thought in my heart: "This house is so comfortable, I don't know who will hold up the card, it is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of ringgit." ”
Gu Kun is not short of money, he just didn't expect Sa Wuyang to do such a great job, and he actually operated it to directly take the villa where Chen Mingcheng's family lives every day to execute.
He cautiously asked, "Isn't there anyone else in the Chen family living in this house? Strictly speaking, legally speaking, the crime is not as small as the family." ”
Sa Wuyang smiled calmly: "His original partner has long been divorced, and his little wife ran away after the accident." Besides, our auction is to repay the mortgage that Chen Mingcheng owes to HSBC, and HSBC does not beep, so what does the Chen family have to say?"
Manager Charles of HSBC's Brunei branch was also implicated by Chen Mingcheng to the end, and several people were implicated. The newcomers just want to completely liquidate the inside, and then take over and settle the matter.
When Gu Kun talked in a low voice, the auctioneer had already quoted the reserve price, and the starting bid was only RM100,000, and it was not until the second time that someone answered the reserve price. Gu Kun raised the card, symbolically added 10,000, and 110,000 was sold.
This amount of money is not enough to build the construction cost of the house, which uses a lot of oak and other tropical hardwoods. Now it is equivalent to the craft, the land, and the swimming pool, which are all given away for free.
After buying Chen Mingcheng's villa, the next string of lots are all real estate such as land, dock berths, etc., as well as other fragmentary cars and the like.
If Gu Kun can see it, he will hold up his card. He is not rare, and he will leave it to others to be wet with rain and dew.
For example, he lacked a serious yacht berth, so he spent 60,000 yuan to buy a berth below 15 meters. And the commercial real estate on the main island, he can't look down on it, because they are all old houses that can only open a commissary, and they are not forced at all.
Chen Mingcheng's S600 tiger head Daben was also disposed of to Gu Kun according to 50,000 orders, which is equivalent to 120,000 yuan.
In Nanyang low-tariff countries, imported cars are not very expensive, this kind of new car is only 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, and second-hand cars are 120,000 yuan, and no one dares to say that it is not suitable.
Who made you second-hand? Luxury cars are used to pretend, second-hand is a big depreciation, and it is not a contractor to pay off debts.
After dealing with the miscellaneous pieces of the yard, the auction entered a wave of climactic bulk processing, which once again attracted Gu Kun's great attention.
It turned out that some private island ownership and development rights were sold.
The auctioneer is on the stage and introduces in great detail from the beginning:
"The auction is now open, and the limited development right of Lanfang No. 32~34 reef 'Galloping Horse Reef'. Located in the northwesternmost part of China, 17 nautical miles away from the main island, and close to MATSK Island, the southeasternmost part of the Natuna Islands, the 'Galloping Horse Reef' reef is a pure coral island reef, surrounded by three sections and fan atolls, and there is no sandy sedimentary geology.
With a land area of 8.5 square kilometers and a lagoon area of 60 square kilometers, it is currently uninhabited and is also the largest uninhabited pure coral atoll in China. There are a small amount of coconut palm, palm-grade shrub herbaceous vegetation, which has the potential to conserve freshwater sources.
The surrounding waters are clear and have high potential for tourism development, which was purchased by Tan Ming Seng in 1988 for the development right and land ownership, when the pre-declared development use was tourism, and the development right price was RM4 million, and then abandoned due to financing problems. This re-sale is only RM1.5 million at a reserve price of RM1.8 million......"
When Gu Kun heard this, he was not busy shouting the price, but now he quickly estimated it in his heart.
Because the Lanfang Islands are a fishing country, there are no other resources and heavy industry, so the population density is not high, and there are actually many uninhabited islands, and the price of buying land is not expensive.
By analogy, more than 2,000 square kilometers are placed on the southeast coast of China, which is equivalent to the area of a mini prefecture-level city, but its population is only equivalent to the largest town or the smallest county.
There are more than 160 islands in Lanfang, of which more than half are completely uninhabited. The islands from the bottom of the 20th rank are basically no more than 5 square kilometers in area, and the 50th and then are all less than 1 square kilometer.
Don't think that there are many islands, because the Coral Sea is like this, the islands are so fragmented, no one knows where the polyps grow, and a small piece will pop up. The Natuna Islands next door to the Indonesian have 270 islands, and the total area is only about the same as that of the Lan side.
Several islands in Galloping Horse Reef are ranked in the top 30, but because they are put together by three reefs, the total area is 8.5 square kilometers.
Gu Kun secretly thought: "Although there are many uninhabited islands, there are not many with good potential. Chen Mingcheng is also a human spirit, the island he set his eyes on six years ago, the quality is really good, this area, this lagoon, and the pure water quality on the mainland side of the principle, should be the most potential for tourism development.
One square kilometer is 1,500 acres, and the price he had back then was equivalent to 500,000 reams per square kilometer/1.2 million yuan, which was 800 yuan per mu. Now the reserve price of this discounted re-auction is equivalent to 300 yuan per mu. ”
300 yuan per acre, buy uninhabited wasteland with beautiful scenery, even if there is no condition for development and idle for the time being, you can't buy it at a loss, you can't be fooled.
As for the "limited development rights" mentioned in the auction documents, it has little impact - this thing is still permanent, but the state has restrictions on its use, and you can only use it to build a resort or a serviced apartment, and you will have to pay business tax in the future. It is precisely because of the tax revenue that the state is willing to try to sell the land at a permanent price in the future in case the tourism industry is established.
In addition, the "limited development right" is the exclusive economic right that cannot be prospected for minerals and does not take the surrounding sea area.
But Gu Kun had a prescient vision, he knew that in the direction of Benma Reef in the future, there would be no submarine oil fields at all, so it would not affect at all without prospecting rights.
Later, the submarine oil fields of Lanfang were offshore on the eastern side of the country, that is, in the direction of Brunei.
The scenery there is poor, the sea is dirty, and the landform is all river sand sediment islands, not coral islands. To the west, towards the Java Sea and the Gulf of Siam, there are no mines.
"Bought it!" Gu Kun thought of this and decisively raised the sign.
"This Mr. No. 18 raised his card, 1.5 million once, 1.5 million twice, 1.5 million three times, sold!" The auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief and finally sold it.
Sa Wuyang, who was next to him, was slightly moved, and reminded: "Did you see the conditions clearly just now? This limited development right requires that development must start within 10 years after buying the land. Otherwise, if you don't build a house within the time limit, you will be charged liquidated damages equivalent to 10% of the annual price of the land.
And the deadline is from Chen Mingcheng's 88 years to take the island, and you don't have to refresh it if you buy it again, which means that you will start building resorts and hotel apartments there within 4 years, and you will have to do supporting facilities. How else could it be so cheap? Do you have the strength?"
Gu Kun: "Of course I heard it clearly, 4 years, this is very generous." And the official didn't say when it would be built, as long as construction started. ”
Sa Wuyang: "There are also requirements for the construction, and we in Lanzhou stipulate that it must be put into trial operation within 5 years after the start of construction. ”
Gu Kun: "Don't worry, the time is too free, I'll pick up this cheap." ”
Sa Wuyang had no idea about the potential of the future Lan Fang.
300 yuan a mu of coral desert island, glass sea quality, permanent property rights, why not buy?
And after having the island, he can be regarded as an island owner, and when he goes out with empty gloves and white wolves, he can use more pretense to fake the tiger. Even if it's just for that, 1.5 million reams is nothing.
