Chapter 759: Rausara Island
Mateschitz's words immediately attracted Tang Feng's attention, not to mention, if it hadn't been busy recently, Tang Feng would have really been ready to buy another private island.
In fact, Tang Feng wanted to buy a private island, not for enjoyment, but had a lot to do with that plan, and in that plan that had been planned for nearly two years, a private island alone must exist.
Originally, Tang Feng planned to find an island in the Pacific Ocean and buy it after the moon landing mission was over. Fortunately, when I was dozing off, someone took the initiative to bring the pillow.
"Dieter, where is your private island?"
"Fiji! Fiji, an island nation in the South Pacific. The name of that island is Rausara Island, and it's my home in Fiji. ”
"Oh buy karma! Dieter, the island of Rausala, which is known as the island of paradise, is the island to your name? Tang Feng didn't say anything, and Sophia on the side was surprised.
"Honey, are you familiar with that island?" Tang Feng asked puzzledly, it was rare to see Sophia so discolored.
Sophia shook her head and said, "Of course I'm not familiar with that island, and I haven't been there, but I already know about it." I also know that last year it was voted one of the three most beautiful private islands in the world."
After a pause, Sophia put her arm around Tang Feng and said, "I have heard a long time ago that there is a beautiful island called the Paradise Island in the distant South Pacific, and I used to want to go there to see it, but unfortunately I didn't have that condition. Originally, I wanted to say that when you're done with this part of the work, let's go there for a vacation."
Sophia began to explain the situation of the island to Tang Feng, and it could be seen that Sophia really wanted to go to that island for a vacation, otherwise she would not have known so much about the situation of that island.
Through Sophia's explanation. Only then did Tang Feng figure out the situation on that island.
It turns out that this Rausara Island is a small island located at the eastern tip of the island of Vanua in Fiji, with an area of 3,500 acres, which is about 14.1 square kilometers.
The island is a volcanic island that exposed the sea level tens of millions of years ago. The island has fresh water resources, with the highest peak at 192 meters above sea level. On the island, there is a thousand-kilometer-long airstrip and numerous villas. Some of these villas are located by the sea, while others are located halfway up the mountain. In addition, there is a ring road and an 18-hole golf course.
Hearing Sophia say in such detail, Mateschitz on the side said a little embarrassed: "Sophia, in fact, that island is not as good as you say. Maybe I'm used to the scenery there. ”
Sophia smiled and said, "Dieter, you don't need to be modest, the tropical sea style of Rausara Island is very famous, even I, an American, want to visit there, let alone others." ”
Mateschitz smiled and said, "Sophia, Don, we met a little late, if we had known each other earlier." You and Sophia can go on vacation to that island, and I can give you free of charge. ”
Tang Feng smiled and nodded. After expressing his gratitude, he asked, "Dieter, you just asked me if I am interested in private islands, do you want to sell that Lausara Island?" ”
Mateschitz nodded and said, "I did have this idea, and it's been several years. I bought the island from the Forbes family in 2003 for more than $10 million. At that time, I really liked to play. I love playing more than I do now. When I bought the island, I wanted to make it my own paradise. So I spent a lot of money on a lot of beautiful buildings from the island, and of course farms and pastures, because I wanted the island to be self-sufficient. ”
Tang Feng asked, "Forbes family? It can't be the same family that founded Forbes magazine, right? ”
Mateschitz nodded and said, "That's right. It was the Forbes family that founded Forbes magazine. To be exact, the island's first owner was Malcolm. Mr. Forbes, he loves this island very much, but unfortunately, Malcolm died in 1990, but Malcolm's tomb was built on this island. ”
Tang Feng nodded silently, he didn't expect that this island would be so popular.
Mateschitz continued: "The reason I took over the island was that I liked it from the first time I saw it. Later, when I took over, oh, back and forth, I spent about 30 million dollars to finally make that island my ideal island, but unfortunately, when that island really became a paradise island, I suddenly lost interest in that island. No matter how good it is, if it takes a long time, it will lose its beautiful aura in the mind of the owner. Don, you know, I'm doing a lot of things right now, and the things in Europe and the United States alone are enough to keep me busy, and I'm getting older and a little less experienced, so I don't have much energy to pay attention to that island. ”
"So you want to sell the island?" Tang Feng asked.
Mateschitz nodded and said: "A few years ago, I would often invite some celebrities and dignitaries to Lausara Island for vacations, but now, it has not been done for several years, and now this island has almost become an island dedicated to vacation tourism, and in order to make the island break even, I opened the island to the outside world, which has gradually lost the mystery of the private island, so I planned to sell the island a few years ago." But the damn subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis have plunged the world's real estate into a slump, and my island is worth no less than $50 million, but no one has planned to take it over the past few years."
Tang Feng smiled and said, "So, you're going to sell that island to me?" ”
Mateschitz nodded solemnly and said, "50 million dollars, Don, you only need to pay 50 million dollars, and the island will be given to you!" Don, you know, I've invested more than $40 million from that island, and the value of that island is definitely not less than $50 million. Don, it's not that I lack tens of millions of dollars, I just want this island to reflect its due value. Don, she's definitely worth the money! ”
"Well, the price is quite right, but I'll have to see for myself to decide. Well, Dieter, I'll go with you to Lausara Island to see it when my moon landing is complete, and I'll buy her if I think it's suitable! (To be continued.) )
