Chapter Ninety-Six: The Dream of the Island Owner
One night in late May, Ao Tang opened the web page again and browsed a piece of news. Or more accurately, it's an old piece of news that appeared in mid-April. On April 12, the State Oceanic Administration announced the first batch of uninhabited islands that can be developed and utilized, involving 8 coastal provinces and cities, with a total of 176 uninhabited islands.
In the online parlance, as long as there is money, everyone can be an "island owner". Of course, in fact, as with contracted reservoirs, only the right to use them for a certain number of years is obtained, not ownership. Moreover, in Ao Tang's view, the national island development policy is still just crossing the river by feeling the stones, and it is a new exploration, so the steps taken are very small, and there are many rules and regulations.
Especially in terms of specific use rights, the development direction is strictly limited. For example, many of these islands can only be developed as tourism projects, and they are also open to the outside world after development, and the "island owner" cannot close the door to prevent others from going to the island, and cannot become the private territory of the "island owner". In fact, the reservoir is the same, like the official investigation team last time, Ao Tang has no right to refuse them access to the reservoir.
But for Ao Tang, the island and the reservoir are different after all, the reservoir is closely connected to the surrounding area, and there is no way to cut off the road, while the island is isolated overseas, and Ao Tang has the easiest way. Are you a tourist traveling to the island? Do you officials want to visit the island? He could have stirred up storms and waves between the mainland and the islands, and the ferry would not sail in such a situation, and the traffic would be blocked, and tourists and officials could blame Ao Tang? They can only complain about the weather. When others can't go to the island, this island is naturally equivalent to Ao Tang's private territory, and he can become a veritable island owner.
Thinking of this, Ao Tang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled, but soon sighed again, if he wanted to realize the dream of being the island owner, he also faced two biggest problems.
One is ability, in the past three months, except for the end of March and the end of April twice to Shencheng and Chuanshan for a few days, all the other days in Chuncheng can be said to rain night and night, and now the 60 million cubic meters of water volume in the Qiliqiao Reservoir of the Liushui Group is less than one million cubic meters, and it will completely dry up tonight.
The 60 million plus the 8 million in the Xinting Township Reservoir in Chi Danan before, these amounts of water have turned into precious rainwater, which can be said to be the real Ze by the common people! Even if it does not really benefit the entire Tiannan Province because of the limitation of the driving range of Ao Tang at night, at least Chuncheng, Hongta, Qujiang, and Chuzhou have all been visited, and the sixteen cities in Tiannan account for a quarter of them. Drought relief and disaster relief, the merits are immeasurable, but Ao Tang still has not broken through the limit of the Well Dragon King, although the feeling that he is about to break through is getting stronger and stronger, but he always feels that it is still a little bit behind.
If he can't break through, he can only be a village-level well dragon king, and he can only maintain a small area of light rain, how to create a storm and waves that block the sea route? Light rain or something, the ferry boat is not wrong.
The second issue is money.
Ao Tang stared at the news on the webpage, if he wanted to contract the island, he would go through the auction, and only took out so many islands in total, and there were many people who wanted to grab it. According to related news, without hundreds of millions of assets, don't have the "island owner dream".
And his current deposit is only more than 600,000 yuan, and the blue and white jar that was entrusted to the Shencheng antique shop before, the owner Lao Li has already found a famous auction company, and the company's spring auction this year is at the end of May. Ao Tang was not interested in running to see the auction site, and had already entrusted carte blanche to Lao Li on the phone.
However, according to the usual practice, at the end of May, he still had to fly to Shencheng once to inspect the Chuanshan Mountain Tribe, and meet for dinner by the way. If the auction proceeds were satisfactory to Ao Tang, he would naturally find two more pieces of porcelain and give them to Lao Li.
But even if you count the two or three million blue and white pots, it is still far from hundreds of millions of assets. Ao Tang couldn't help sighing, maybe he could only miss the first batch of island lists, I don't know when the second batch will be launched? It is said that in addition to the first batch of 176 islands planned by the State Oceanic Administration, various coastal provinces are also preparing to issue their own local uninhabited island lists, so there is more room for choice.
"What are you doing laughing and sighing?" Mi Lu's head popped out of the half-open door, and there was Chen Yuanyuan's figure behind him.
"Spy on me for a while, just come in." Ao Tang looked at Mi Lu with a smile, and occasionally his eyes would pass over Chen Yuanyuan, although he was used to seeing them for a long time, but the beautiful posture of them in pajamas still made him admire.
"Who's spying on you!" Mi Lujiao sat on Ao Tang's bed in disgust, leaned forward and leaned forward to the computer chair close to Ao Tang, and looked at the computer screen with her neck on it, "No island? ”
"yes, uninhabited island." Ao Tang leaned back in the chair, his two heads were pressed together, his ears and temples were grinding, and he pretended to laugh and said: "It's okay to be an uninhabited island, I want to be the evil dragon who specializes in catching princesses and keep you on the island." ”
"Hmph, the evil dragon or something, I'm not afraid, round warrior, will you destroy the evil dragon to save me?"
Chen Yuanyuan sat down on the edge of the bed on the other side of the chair and said with a smile: "I can't beat the evil dragon, will I also be arrested and locked up?" ”
Ao Tang glanced at her again and said, "This warrior lady must be another princess pretending, and once she is caught, she will definitely be locked up." ”
Mi Lu immediately muttered: "Princess Yuanyuan, don't come to save me, sacrifice me, and make thousands of families happy, and I will sacrifice my life to feed the evil dragon." ”
Chen Yuanyuan chuckled, she looked at the computer desk, not only the computer screen displayed a list of islands, but also an open atlas on the table, which was flipped to a certain coastal province, Ao Tang actually used a pen to circle several islands on the map, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Ao Tang, you really want to be the owner of the island?" ”
"Yes, but I don't have enough money for the time being, so I'll try to save enough in two years."
"How much does it cost? I've also accumulated a lot of New Year's money over the years, and Lulu also has it, so we can invest together. ”
"Uh......" Ao Tang was a little moved, and felt that Chen Yuanyuan didn't treat herself as an outsider, so she glanced at Milu with a little weakness, and then clicked on another webpage to show them.
Seeing the title of the article on the webpage "No 100 million, don't dream of being the owner of the island", Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but exclaim, they also knew that buying an island was expensive, but they didn't know that it was so expensive.
If you look closely, you can see that you are only contracting islands, with a few million and tens of millions, but uninhabited islands generally have no infrastructure, and many islands do not even have water sources, so if you want to survive, you must invest a lot to establish water storage and purification systems. In addition to water, there is electricity, there is fuel, there are docks, roads, houses...... The uninhabited island is isolated overseas, and it is much more expensive to buy building materials, hire ships to transport them, and hire labor, which is much more expensive than building the same facilities on the mainland! Moreover, at sea, it is necessary to consider the corrosion protection of materials, typhoons, rains and tsunamis, safety facilities, medical facilities, and emergency systems...... All in all, without hundreds of millions of assets, I really can't play it.
Chen Yuanyuan was suddenly discouraged, her New Year's money from childhood to adulthood plus a fund specially saved for her by her parents was only about 300,000, which was a drop in the bucket compared to 100 million.
Mi Lu also said with a bitter face: "I don't have that much." Her family has enough assets, but the money in the family is controlled by Mi Lu's mother, and what Mi Lu has is only the New Year's money over the years.
But they soon exclaimed again, Ao Tang just said that he would strive to save enough within two years, that is 100 million, it is RMB, not Yuan, not the Burmese Yuan, Lao Kip, and Vietnamese Dong next to Tiannan! According to their consistent perception, Ao Tang is not the kind of person who talks nonsense?
Of course, Ao Tang is not talking nonsense, the saury in the reservoir still needs two or three years to grow before he can make money, but the golden tabby will be able to go on the market in the autumn, as long as the sales are okay, 5 million a year, and 10 million in two years. And the Arowana will be sold two years later, and the gimmick of hyping up the sporty Arowana may also be able to earn 10 million. Coupled with the auction of porcelain, as long as Lao Li proves that he is not greedy, then he will increase shipments in the future, if there are thirty or forty porcelains of the same value, he can make up the remaining 80 million, in case he is lucky enough, the sunken ship turns out the real sky-high porcelain, maybe one is enough!
"Ao Tang, you won't find any more treasures, will you?" Mi Lu's curiosity was aroused, she didn't hide any gold and silver dollars she had caught before, and there were still more than half a box of silver dollars under the Ao Tang bed, and she and Chen Yuanyuan had taken a few pieces to play.
"Well, some porcelain, which I caught at the beach last time, is slowly being sold in Shencheng. One of them is listed in the spring auction of xx auction company, and it will be auctioned off at the end of this month. ”
Mi Lu sighed, at the end of March and the end of April, Ao Tang flew to Shencheng, and now the air ticket for the end of May has been booked, she knows all this, although she is a little suspicious of Shencheng, but since it is a serious matter, she will not obstruct it.
"Oops, supper is going to get cold, go eat it." Mi Lu suddenly screamed, they had originally entered Ao Tang's bedroom to call for dinner.
Getting along with each other, after slowly running in, have formed some habits. Originally, Mi Lu and they went to bed at about ten o'clock, and when Ao Tang waited for them to sleep, he would go out to rain at night. Now it gradually changed to them waiting for Ao Tang to go to bed after leaving, and the time was also postponed from ten o'clock to half past ten, and Mi Lu would make some supper for Ao Tang in the middle half an hour.
Ao Tang walked to the dining room with a smile, a small bowl of walnut porridge on the table, and two dishes left over from dinner. Now Mi Lu cooks a lot of dishes for dinner, Mi Lu has become a kitchen tyrant, she does everything she can do, and only asks Chen Yuanyuan to help if she can't do it. As for Ao Tang, they now cook it themselves once a week, which is considered a treat for them.
After a long period of exercise, although Milu's level is not as good as Ao Tang, it is also so-so, Ao Tang devoured it quickly, and took a glass of juice from Chen Yuanyuan. The preparation of this mixed juice is Chen Yuanyuan's trick, and Mi Lu has consulted him, but unfortunately he couldn't learn it.
"Well, eat and drink enough, you guys hurry up and sleep, I'm out."
"Watch out on the road."
After the accustomed conversation, Ao Tang waved out, tonight will be the end night of the Qiliqiao Reservoir.
