Although the fees for the profession of lawyer are very high, they have to admit that the work efficiency is also very high.
After negotiating the need to invest in the private island project and auction it, in less than two hours, as a lawyer, Anne not only got the latest information on the island that is being put up for sale, but also the auction house has been properly handled.
Anne, who projected the obtained island information directly onto the projection screen, pointed to the island in the ultra-clear picture and said:
"Boss, this island is located in the Bay of San Miguel in Spain, off the north coast of Ibiza. Spread over fourteen acres, the entire island has been developed into a fully functional, well-equipped resort with luxury estates, kitchens, pools, bars and wine cellars. With 300 days of sun exposure per year and excellent views of the blue Mediterranean landscape, it has become a first-class luxury resort. ”
"Fourteen acres? It's not as big as my winery, and it's already been built, so if you buy it, you have to tear it down and rebuild it, so it's not good. Since he had found a sufficient source of funds, Li Anran naturally disdained such a "small" island.
"OK, the next island is on the inner bay of North Ilusela in the Bahamas. Freehold on thirty-five acres. There is only one road built on the island at the moment, so whatever you want to build on the island. In the future, you will be guaranteed to be able to get in and out easily. ”
"In addition to sandy beaches, lush vegetation and mooring protected areas, there is also an abundance of exotic wildlife on this island. There are a lot of turtles, fish and birds around. By the way, if the boss is interested in sailing, there will be an unexpected surprise when he buys it. Anne, who directly passed down an island, opened the next information and introduced.
"Thirty-five acres? No, no, this area is still small. However, other aspects are quite appropriate, so let's leave the island as an alternative. "Although I am quite satisfied that the island has not been further developed. But Li Anran is still not very satisfied with the area.
"Understood. Boss。 Anne, who marked this island, then moved on to the next one.
"The island is completely undeveloped, about sixty square miles in size. That's nearly 40,000 acres when converted to acres. And. As the island was formerly a volcano. So there will be a lot of mountains up there. ”
"The island is located in the Serralvo Strait off the coast of Mexico in the Sea of Cortez. The water here is best for the survival of large swimming fish. If the boss wants to, he can build a large number of high-rise buildings on this huge private island. ”
"The only downside is that the island is relatively remote. Basically, there will be no neighbors for the boss to visit you. However, the island has a typically warm Mexican climate, with plenty of sunshine and perfect sandy beaches. The remoteness also means that it offers complete privacy, as it is at least thirty miles away from the nearest landmass. ”
After listening to this introduction, Li Anran immediately became interested. Just kidding, 40,000 acres is the concept of almost a thousand more than a thousand wineries. Converted into domestic acres, it is more than 200,000 acres. Moreover, there are many mountains on it, and the location is remote, even if the cost of development is much higher, but the privacy aspect can definitely meet their needs.
"The island is good, it's big enough, and it's not developed, which fits my requirements. Anne, how much does this island cost? Li Anran, who was leaning on the boss's chair, played with a jade pendant as warm as mutton fat, nodded and asked.
"The listing price is 35 million US dollars, and if Boss takes a fancy to it, this price still has to be discussed." Anne, who glanced at the quotation column, replied.
"That's not cheap." Li Anran, who whistled, shrugged and said.
"Boss, what do you mean?" Anne, who secretly slandered "You Chinese are very rich", still had a very professional expression on the surface, and asked.
"Make this island the first choice, but the later ones still have to be looked at, and it is better to compare." Li Anran, who picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, said with a smile.
"OK, Boss, let's move on."
After Anne finished speaking, she continued to project the following information. However, considering that the requirements of my boss are relatively high, some islands that are too small, the location is not good, and the terrain is not satisfactory were directly passed.
"The island of Tetiaroa, located forty miles north of Tahiti, is a small group of twelve small islands. The original owner was the famous movie star Marlon. Brando. After his death, only his son, Teihotu, lived on the island for a long time. ”
"The island is very tranquil and beautiful, with a tropical bird sanctuary on it, in a semi-developed state, and currently there is a new hotel on the island named "Brando", which for some reason has just been put on the market. ”
"The exact price is not said, it needs to be negotiated. However, the area of this island is huge, and it is true that the land area alone is 1,647 square kilometers, about 400,000 acres. Therefore, it is expected that the price will not be low, and it needs to be carefully considered. ”
"Four hundred thousand acres?!"
Originally, Li Anran thought that the first few islands with tens of thousands of acres were already very good, but after hearing this number, he realized that he was really a little sitting in the well and watching the sky.
"Yes, four hundred thousand acres." Anne, who nodded, said.
After Li Anran sighed that the local tyrants abroad were really not comparable to his own turtles, he finally decided on three candidate islands.
One is a 60-square-mile island in the Searalvo Strait off the coast of Mexico, and the other is an island northeast of the British Virgin Islands. And the last one is Ma Long. Brando's son now owns the very large island group of Tetiaroa.
As for which one to choose, Li Anran is not in a hurry to make a decision. After all, this kind of large-scale investment, it would be too child's play not to go to the scene to see it. Moreover, it is still unknown whether the funds raised this time will meet the requirements, so everything will have to wait for the money to be settled.
After seeing that I was busy with these things, I even missed lunch time. Although it is an employment relationship, as a man, if you drive away the beautiful woman in this way, it is not enough to "rape the man".
I just went to the supermarket to make a big purchase, and there is no shortage of anything at home. So, Li Anran cooked by himself and made a sumptuous lunch to compensate.
Unlike those who like to let foreigners eat Chinese food as soon as they go abroad, Li Anran did not cook Chinese food this time. In fact, with the eating habits of foreigners, not everyone will like Chinese food. Otherwise, those Chinese restaurants that open abroad will not change Chinese food beyond recognition according to the eating preferences of the locals.
Medium-rare lamb chops with black pepper, caviar salad, creamy mushroom soup, garlic toast, and tiramisu for dessert are just as good as the best Western restaurants in California, regardless of the variety or taste.
Although this lunch came a little late, the atmosphere was very good. Although Li Anran is an Oriental, his appearance is not bad, coupled with a figure that is enough to make most men have to bow down, it is enough to be welcomed by most sisters, and Anne is no exception.
Don't look at her, she usually likes to have a cold face, and she has always treated those handsome male colleagues in the law firm, but as a woman, she naturally has normal psychological and physical needs. The reason why I was willing to accept this job in the first place was not only because someone paid me very well, but also because someone was very good-looking.
As for Li Anran's choice of Anne as his lawyer, it was also because the other party was very pleasing to the eye. Under such circumstances, coupled with the red wine produced in the already winery, the atmosphere in the dining room gradually became a little ambiguous. (To be continued......)
