Chapter 621: Unreasonable Demands

"Ahem, because San Jose Island is a desert island, uh, how to put it, except for a small town where more than 200 people lived, San Jose Island probably doesn't even have a single animal, although it's a bit strange to explain it.

The land on the island is very barren, mostly hillsides, no food can be grown, even trees are very few, the climate is dry and hot, although due to the influence of hurricanes and other factors, the island has not a lot of precipitation.

However, due to the lack of vegetation, the precipitation is quickly lost or evaporated, so San Jose Island is still relatively short of water.

In the past, the island's residents could only make a living by fishing, but due to overfishing and other reasons, the fish resources in the waters around San Jose Island are becoming less and less.

So, in general, San Jose is a desert island without any resources, without any special products, especially after this oil pollution, San Jose Island is even less concerned.

Who cares about a hopeless island like garbage?" explained Charlie.

The climate is dry and hot, hurricanes, water is scarce, the land is barren and there is no vegetation, there is almost no animals, and the surrounding sea is polluted by oil...... Jin Yang roughly counted and found that this small island called "San Jose" was simply useless.

This may not be as good as a desert, right? At least you can see some snakes, insects, rats and ants in the desert...

"Then, how much does the Mexican government plan to sell this small island for now?" Jin Yang was also a little desperate, even if the space was indeed very powerful, he didn't have much confidence that he could revive a small island that was almost equal to "death".

Charlie replied quickly: "5 million, only 5 million dollars is enough, not only San Jose Island, but also the surrounding large area of sea contaminated by oil, when the time comes, it will belong to the new owner who bought San Jose Island, and he will have all the rights to this small island and its attached waters except for sovereignty." ”

5 million? Jinyang can imagine that Charlie on the other end of the phone must have raised a hand when he said this, and this price is simply the price of cabbage for an island with an area of 183 square kilometers.

Not to mention, there is also a large area of sea around it, how to say, that sea area is also hundreds or thousands of square kilometers, right?

The most important thing is that all the rights of the island and its affiliated waters except for sovereignty will belong to the new owner at that time, that is, if Jinyang buys this island, even if there are some great mineral deposits found here, even a large oil field, it will be completely his?

And he only needs to pay $5 million for these?

Is there such a cheap thing in the world? He kind of didn't believe it...

"But—" Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and Charlie continued: "The Mexican government has one more requirement for the purchaser of the island, and only if he agrees and fulfills this request, the island will be completely his." ”

"What are the requirements?" asked Yan'er, impatiently.

"The only condition is to control the oil pollution, the large area of oil pollution, and the buyers of the small island must do their best to clean it up, at least to restore the sea area to the level before the accident, which is the only condition. ”

"What?"

Jin Yang was stunned, and even wondered if he had heard it wrong, or if Charlie had said it wrong?

Even if we do everything we can to control oil pollution, we must at least restore it to the level it was before the accident, and in the meantime, the island and its affiliated waters will not even be completely owned by the island buyers.

Well, the Mexican government's brain can't be Watts, right?

Do they know how much time and money it will take to clean up oil pollution in such a large area of the ocean? If there is any hope of restoring to international minimum standards, it is a long way off before the incident.

How long has it been since the war broke out in the Gulf, and the effects of oil pollution have not yet been completely eliminated.

Ordinary marine oil pollution, even if it costs a huge amount of money to clean up, will take at least several years, and it depends on luck, and if you are unlucky, it is very likely to be more than ten years, or even decades.

To completely restore an oil-polluted sea to its previous level is to see God's will.

God is in a good mood, maybe it will take a few years to restore the beauty of this sea, if God is in a bad mood, then hehe.

Until then, the purchaser couldn't even take full ownership of San Jose Island... Is that still hairy?

If you're unlucky enough to get San Jose Island back to its previous level for more than a decade, wouldn't it be a complete waste of investment for so long?

Is the Mexican government looking for a fool to help them work for free?

"Jinyang, we can't want this island, the Mexican government's requirements are too harsh, and they don't make sense at all. Yan'er said angrily, stroking Andy's hand with great force, almost not pressing it to the point of breathlessness.

"Squeak, squeak. Andy shouted a few times in protest, you shovelers, buy the island, buy the island, what's the matter with me?

"Yes, Yang, I don't approve of your purchase of this island, it's too cost-effective, and the Mexican government's request is simply unreasonable. Charlie is also not optimistic about this small island, and in his opinion, this San Jose island is simply useless.

Barren, water-scarce, hot, dry climate... Now it has to spend a lot of money to clean up oil pollution, what do you want it to do in this kind of pitting people?

"Yes, we can't buy it, we can look and see if there are any other islands that can't be hanged from this crooked-necked tree. Yan'er chimed in.

"Wait, let me think about it, let me think about it first. Interrupting the words of the two, Jin Yang held his chin and pondered.

At first glance, the island of San Jose is a pile of garbage, not even a chicken rib, and if you want to develop on it, you will have to wait for an unknown amount of time to deal with pollution.

But... Jin Yang thought carefully about some of the advantages he had.

He has space, a magical space spring, a lot of money, and a cash cow Bauhinia Ranch as a backing.

There is space to sneak in and transport a lot of materials, such as seedlings and seeds of some plants, and some building materials...

Space spring water can improve the local soil, allowing more animals and plants to survive, and can be used to improve the ecological environment of the ocean and control oil pollution.

And San Jose Island is big enough, with a wide space and a vast sea, like a pitch-black white paper, just waiting for him to paint, if the oil pollution on it can really be cleaned up, it will have a great future.

It's just that he doesn't know how much of a role the space spring can play in oil pollution, and how much time and money it can save, which is the main problem.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yan'er was almost impatient to wait, so Jin Yang slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Charlie, I bought that San Jose Island." ”
