Chapter 294: Uninhabited Island
Elena was about to clink glasses with Ao Tang, when she heard this, she paused slightly, and the smile on her face narrowed for a few seconds, and said, "As a businessman, there is nothing that cannot be sold; But as Greeks, we are very reluctant to see our islands sold. It's really tough in Greece right now, and the government does have a motion on the islands, but I personally think it's going to be very difficult to pass in the end, because it's easy to be attacked by the opposition. Of course, I think the government is very welcome for foreign investment in our islands to build a better tourism and resort industry. ”
Ao Tang shrugged his shoulders, what he wanted was to monopolize the island, even if he couldn't get the ownership, but at least he had to monopolize the right to use it, and he was not interested in creating any tourist islands.
Elena laughed again, tasting the emerald green fat wine, and seemed to be very satisfied, but after asking Ao Tang and others, knowing the nature and raw materials of the fat wine, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, this kind of health wine that is biased towards traditional Chinese medicine will be easily accepted in Asia, but it is easy to have some doubts in the European and American markets.
At this time, Xun Xiu asked: "Ao Tang, why are you asking the island, do you want to be the owner of the island?" ”
Ao Tang smiled: "I have this plan, I think it's quite good to find an island, get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, build your own ideal resting place, and enjoy the sun and sea breeze." And I'm an aquatic product, and now I'm a freshwater fish, so I may get involved in seafood in the future, and getting an island is also good for my fishing development. ”
Elena's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Ao Tang, have you researched any high-yield and high-yield technology for marine fish?" ”
The type of fish is very important, China has Chinese taste, Europe and the United States have European and American preferences. For example, golden perch. Elena immediately took a fancy to it, and finalized an agreement of intent worth 72 million euros in just a few hours, because she knew that the golden sea bass was in the European and American markets, and it was paid for greater benefits. But another product in the Aotang Reservoir, Ilena knew that the river knife was delicious, and she also knew that the river knife could be sold for thousands of yuan a pound in China, but she still had no interest. Because there is no market in Europe and the United States.
I don't know what kind of high-yield and high-yield marine fish technology Ao Tang has developed? If it is suitable for Europe and the United States, you should pay attention to it in advance, so as to save only half of the production like golden perch.
Ao Tang shook his head and said, "For the time being, there are only some hypotheticals. It's still too early for a real technological breakthrough. ”
Xun Xiu took over the topic again: "If you want to buy the island in Ao Tang, our country will have it, of course." That's not really a 'buy', it's just a long-term rental. ”
She was originally a little suspicious of Ao Tang, but since she really gave the saury a high yield, her contempt for "civil science" was untenable. Removing this suspicion, Xun Xiu naturally became enthusiastic about Ao Tang, after all, it was beneficial for both parties to have a good relationship between Xun Mi and the two families, not to mention that she had already seen Ao Tang's future.
Just 3 million kilograms of golden perch were exchanged for 72 million euros, although Xun Xiu did not know the cost of breeding Ao Tang, nor did he know the cost of air transportation in the future. But I thought that the 72 million euros in Ao Tang could at least get a profit of two or three hundred million, right? Thinking about another 3 million kilograms of gold perch and 200,000 kilograms of river knife, the profitability of Ao Tang Company surprised her, her brother Xun Tao worked hard in Yongtao Mining for more than four years, and only accumulated a net worth of 50 million.
Xun Xiu took the initiative to introduce: "Ao Tang, our country was as early as April 12 last year. The first batch of uninhabited islands that can be developed and utilized was announced, with a total of 176 uninhabited islands in eight provinces, including Liaodong, Qilu, Donghai, Zhehai, southern Fujian, Guangnan, Guining and Qiongzhou. We have 11 in Guining Province, and later the province reported to the State Oceanic Administration, adding 18 to 29. I have an old classmate in the Guining Oceanic Bureau, if you are interested. I can help ask. ”
Ao Tang and Mi Lu glanced at each other, since he had the dream of being the owner of the island, the work of information collection had naturally been carried out a long time ago, the 176 announced by the State Oceanic Administration and the 18 added by Guining Province had already been analyzed by them, and the reason why he didn't take action was just thinking about waiting for the summer vacation. …,
China's uninhabited islands are not bad, but the problem is that the state is too strict and restricts various uses, for example, some islands are only allowed to develop tourism and entertainment, and some islands are only allowed to be used as industrial islands, and the islands are divided into 6 types and 15 kinds of uses, and there are only about a dozen islands that can really be used as fishing islands, and there is very little room for selection. What's more, Ao Tang is not the only one staring at these islands, and he has to bid for it again, and he has to open up relationships, which is troublesome.
And more importantly, because these islands are promoted by the state, the relevant departments will regularly check to see if you have deviated from the use and whether you have damaged the environment.
Therefore, Ao Tang's island purchase goals are mainly placed in two categories, one is foreign islands. Some countries, like China, only rent but not sell, rent the right to use, but there are also some countries, privatization is very strong, is the real sale of the island, even the ownership of the sale, this kind of island is the first choice of Ao Tang, can be built into a real private kingdom.
On the other hand, it is still the islands of the country, but the target of Ao Tang is not the 176, nor the 18 that were added by Guining Province later, but the islands that have been launched by various cities and counties.
Don't look at the 176 claimed to be "the first batch of uninhabited islands that can be developed and utilized", but in fact, this is only the first batch officially recognized by the state, and as early as many years ago, in order to generate revenue, the coastal governments have already contracted out some of the islands. Even though there was no clear state at that time, local governments didn't mind innovation.
For example, Chuanshan, Zhehai, as early as 96 years, someone rented the island, when the island was cheap, 0.15 square kilometers of the island lease period of 40 years only 100,000 yuan; The first of the 176 auctioned Dayangyu, 0.2528 square kilometers, received 20 million in 50 years. Of course, whether it is 100,000 or 20 million, it is just rent, and if you really want to build the island well, the follow-up investment is indispensable to hundreds of millions.
According to the relevant regulations of the state, the rent is paid to the central government 20%, 20% to the province, 10% to the city, and the remaining 50% is retained by the county. Rather than keeping those uninhabited islands in the wind and rain, it is better to rent them out for some money.
Moreover, local counties and cities often contract such islands, and the local self-determination is often reported, and at most it is reported to the provincial oceanic bureau, and generally as long as there is a good relationship with the local government, the state will not be idle and have nothing to inspect.
The only drawback is that the information in various places is backward, unlike the islands launched at the national and provincial levels. As soon as I checked it on the Internet, the news of those ordinary counties and cities was not so easy to check, and Ao Tang was originally going to wait for the summer vacation and pulled Milu and them to run over to inquire one by one. Moreover, in Ao Tang's vision, he preferred more islands in Zhehai Province, so that he could plunder Japan's fishery resources.
But now. Since his father-in-law is about to be transferred to Guining Province, Ao Tang's priority has shifted to Guining, after all, he has understood that it is best to have a background in doing business in China, and he will not bully others, but just want to use the situation not to let people bully, saving him from using violent means.
Ao Tang has already checked the general situation of the islands in the coastal provinces, and there are 651 islands of more than 500 square meters in the sea area of Guining Province, and more than ninety percent of them are uninhabited islands, of which 542 are distributed in coastal harbors. If you get too close to him, you will be directly excluded, and the target will be the remaining 109.
Since Xun Xiu said that there are classmates in the Guining Oceanic Bureau, judging by their age, they may just be ordinary clerks, but some are better than nothing. Ao Tang thanked: "Then please Xun Xiu, I have seen the information of two batches of 29 islands in Guining Province, and the uses are all located on the islands for tourism and entertainment, transportation and urban and rural construction. Have the following counties and cities reported to lease the islands? Generally speaking, at the county level, there is no emphasis on the use, as long as it does not damage the environment, I can use it as a fishing island. ”…,
Xun Xiu nodded: "It's a trivial matter, I'll talk to my classmates Q in the evening." ”
Since they came, Xun Xiu and the others were ready to skip class for a few more days to visit the gorgeous mountains and rivers in the south of the colorful clouds.
On the 19th and 20th, you can see the eight views of the Spring City, and on the 21st, you can enjoy the Fuxian Lake in the Hongta, if you say the beautiful scenery of Tiannan, there are naturally countless, in addition to the Hongta of the Spring City, there are the wind and snow moon of Cangshan and Erhai Lake, the picturesque scenery of the ancient city of Dayan, the paradise of Xiangxian, and the ideal paradise of Xizhou...... However, due to the limited time, it was impossible for Xun Xiu and the three of them to be absent from school all the time, and after discussion, Ao Tang booked them a ticket to return to the capital on the morning of the 22nd.
On the evening of the 21st, Xun Xiu received an email from a classmate, and immediately transferred it to Ao Tang, saying: "My classmate not only checked the report, but also helped inquire about the counties below that were not reported, there are a total of 19 possible targets, including the area, coordinates, conditions, cities and counties to which each island belongs, possible prices, and relevant fees and procedures in Guining Province in this regard, and the information is very complete." ”
Ao Tang took a look, it was really complete, there were tables, documents, ppt, each island has high-definition photos, as few as a few or more than dozens, and even a helicopter overlooking aerial photography, my heart was suddenly overjoyed, fortunately Xun Xiu is from the Provincial Oceanic Bureau, otherwise where would there be such complete information?
Although the number of islands has shrunk from 109 to 19, Ao Tang can also understand that after all, some of the islands involve territorial sea base points, national defense strategy, and oil exploitation, which are impossible to contract, plus some islands have been planned, and it is good to have 19 targets to choose from.
"Xun Xiu, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for your help, we would have found it one by one, maybe we would have wasted a year and a half."
Xun Xiu smiled: "You're welcome, everyone, friends, it's also appropriate to help each other." The one who helps you get the information is called Cangjing, Cangjie is a classmate from primary school to high school, graduated from Guangnan Ocean University, his mobile phone number and QQ number are also given to you, you can find him directly if you have any questions. ”
Ao Tang thanked him again, and Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan looked at the information on the computer together, which was very detailed, the longest lease period of the fishing island is 50 years, and the minimum contract fee is 21 yuan per hectare per year, and the fishery involves the sea area, and the cost of contracting the sea area is much more expensive, at least 3,000 yuan per hectare per year.
Among the 19 islands, the smallest is only 0.0021 square kilometers, that is, 2100 square meters, 3.15 acres, if you take the housing area as a comparison, it is not small, but as an island, it is too small, 2100 square meters is only 5 standard basketball courts. Such an island is obviously not what Ao Tang wants, and there is no place to stand if he builds a few houses, although he is for fishing, but it can't be just for fishing.
The largest island is 0.11 square kilometers, that is, 11 hectares, 165 acres, 110,000 square meters, although it is still not big enough, it is not as good as the 1,500 acres of Zhutang Reservoir, but Ao Tang also knows that the island is like this, and the real big island country will definitely not contract to private individuals, not to mention that in the name of fishing islands, it can also lease a small sea area around the island.
Ao Tang looked at the detailed information of the 0.11 square kilometer island, called "Turtle Back Island", which belongs to the jurisdiction of Xigang County, Xiangjun City, 60 kilometers north of the coast of Xigang County, the island is as its name suggests, like a turtle shell, about 480 meters long, about 230 meters wide, 27 meters at the highest point, it is a stony island, there are no other resources, there are some weeds and bushes. If the island was closer to the coast, it might have been hollowed out as a quarry, but fortunately, the distance of 60 kilometers greatly increased the cost of quarrying, so that Ao Tang had a chance to get the island.
As an uninhabited island, there is naturally no water, no electricity, no network and no infrastructure, which requires Ao Tang to invest heavily. If nothing else, at least the water problem is the easiest for Ao Tang.
The island is 11 hectares, 21 yuan per hectare per year, and it is 11,550 yuan in 50 years. Uh, that's right, since I'm doing fishing, I need a certain area of sea outside the island, so it's good to rent it 100 hectares, which is 1,500 acres, the same as Zhutang Reservoir, the price is 100x3000x50, 15 million, well, this price is about the same, it should make Xigang County excited. ”
Ao Tang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then this Turtle Island, when the summer vacation comes, Lulu, you don't have military training, and Yuanyuan, let's go to Xigang County, Xiangjun City, to see our future paradise." ”
