Chapter 617: Greece that can't get by
"Hey, the good ones are too expensive, and I can't look down on the cheap ones, Yan'er, why is it so difficult to buy a suitable island when you say you want to?" Looking at the dense information and pictures of the island on the computer, Jin Yang sighed helplessly.
After all, he's still a poor man!
Otherwise, the world's most expensive island is Lanai, Hawaii, worth $610 million, and in June 2012, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison bought a 98 percent stake in Castle and Cook. The state owns the remaining 2%.
It's the number one island, the most expensive island in the world, not to mention Ellison's plans to invest another $500 million to build it.
This is the style of local tyrants!
"Jinyang, don't be discouraged, aren't there so many islands in the back that haven't been read yet? There are nearly 1,000 islands, and we will definitely be able to find one that satisfies us." Seeing that he seemed to be discouraged, Yan'er hurriedly stretched out her little hand to comfort him, this would be an important moment, and she had to coax patiently.
Otherwise, Jin Yang is really going to pick and choose, what should she do with the island she wants?
"Okay. ”
Jinyang continued to look down patiently, most of the islands were sold for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, and there were tens of millions of islands, and the islands worth hundreds of millions of dollars were still a few after all.
This money is not a lot for Jin Yang, anyway, this time it is also ill-gotten gains, even if the price of the island is a little more expensive, as long as it can satisfy him, he doesn't care about spending more money.
The islands are mainly privately owned, but some are owned by the state. All islands involved in the sale have a "Certificate of Ownership and Use" of the country in which they are located. The price of the island operates completely according to the market model, regardless of the wealth of the country, and the company and the buyer and seller set the price according to the laws of the market.
This is also what Jinyang is most concerned about, if you buy a small island, only to find that you can't develop it after you get it, you can only use it as a toy in your hand, then Jinyang can only hehe.
Looking down slowly, a piece of news aroused Jinyang's idea.
"Yan'er, look down, here, Greece is not going to plan it?" Jin Yang pointed to a line of red eye-catching characters at the bottom left of the computer screen, and said with a look of surprise.
"Where?
Yan'er was immediately attracted over, and saw a line of big red characters appear on the position of Jinyang's finger: "Greece is looking for a new island owner all over the world!"
Here's a closer look at the news:
Under a new aid deal between the eurozone and Greece, Athens must auction off 50 billion euros of state-owned assets to set up a privatization fund in exchange for a third 86 billion euro aid loan from the eurozone.
Now, Athens has officially launched the sale of 150 of its state-owned islands.
Of course, this news has been on the air for some time, but due to the impact of the economic crisis, the process of selling the islands by the Greek government has not been ideal.
Against the backdrop of the economic crisis, many of the wealthy and celebrities who used to buy islands in large quantities are now selling their islands instead of buying them.
It's just that their islands are all developed, and the area is not large, so it has not aroused Jinyang's interest.
Greece is a different country, the famous land of the Thousand Islands, with up to 6,000 islands in the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Of these, the largest island covers an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, while the smallest can only fit a sun lounger.
Of the 598 islands owned by the Athenian government, 150 of them will now be sold, and Charlie's document to Jinyang contains details of 101 of the islands being listed for sale.
"Jinyang, these small islands seem to be very good, you see what I said above, most of these islands that will be sold are currently uninhabited, but they can be developed into high-end tourism projects in the future, or self-built vacation facilities...
In this way, there will be no resistance to the development of the island, at least it will not be smashed in your own hands if you buy it. Yan'er held his head and analyzed.
"And you look at the size of these small islands, from hundreds of thousands of square meters to millions of square meters, the choice is relatively large, and the price of many islands is not even 2 million euros, which is simply too cheap.
And in terms of unit area, this price is lower than the downtown area of many international metropolises.
You must know that Greece has a Mediterranean climate, the famous Aegean Sea, is a holy place for holiday tourism, the climate is pleasant, and it is the most desirable place for many lovers and newlyweds..."
The smoke chattered endlessly, and her eyes narrowed into a slit, full of longing, as if those islands were already hers.
Jin Yang shrugged his shoulders, and wisely did not bother the beautiful girl who was fantasizing, but looked at the information carefully.
According to the above information, investors can buy the islands of the many islands sold by Greece this time, or they can lease the islands for 99 years, which is longer than the general maximum of 50 years.
And relatively speaking, the purchase process is much easier than before.
In the past, buying an island in Greece often required dozens of official permits, such as the Ministry of Defense to ensure security factors, and then the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Landscaping, and local permits from the location of the islands.
Now, Greece will simplify the formalities. As for visas for foreign investors, priority permits will also be granted, and forms of investment immigration will be considered.
However, it is impossible for Jinyang to invest in immigration again, he has already invested and immigrated in the United States once, and it is impossible to go to Greece to do such a thing a second time, and relatively speaking, Bauhinia Ranch is his foundation.
In addition to the state-owned islands, private Greek islands are currently being sold off and attract a large number of celebrities.
Looking at the information above, it seems that Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp spent 4.2 million euros to buy an uninhabited island about 0.2 kilometers in the Aegean Sea.
Mr. and Mrs. Brad Pitt visited Gaia Island, which is said to have excellent water quality and offers the best conditions for water sports such as sailing and deep-sea diving.
......
Not to mention more celebrity stars.
"Tsk, if I were a star-chaser, maybe I wouldn't even have to think about it when I saw these news, and maybe I would buy it just with my blood. "Jin Yang thinks that he is not a star chaser, although he also has some fantasies about some 'burdened' female stars, but he really asked him to chase stars, and the rancher of Jinda said that he couldn't do such a brainless thing.
After looking for a long time, Jinyang found a few small islands of suitable size on it.
One of them, in the Aegean Sea, 50 kilometers from Athens in the Mediterranean, is the 320-hectare island of Patroclos (1 hectare is about 10,000 square meters) and sells for 1.8 million euros.
The island is 3.2 square kilometers in size, which is about the size of one-tenth of Macau, and although it is not as large as Jinyang expected, it is not very small among the islands.
It's just that... Hey, Jin Yang sighed heavily, looked at some of the introductions below, and shook his head again.
