Li Yao shrugged, "Buy and play."
People who have money play with cars, watches, girls, etc. This is not the case here, just buy islands and play!
Ye Cheng didn't believe his nonsense, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so he just hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Two hundred square kilometers is too big, and it is impossible for ordinary overseas island companies to have such resources." Ye Cheng said helplessly.
What is the concept of two hundred square kilometers, which is equivalent to three or four times larger than the main urban area of an ordinary county.
This is no joke.
For some mysterious reason, it is very troublesome to buy an island in China. If you want a private island, you can only go to an overseas country.
Generally, the larger the private island, the unit price will be much cheaper.
For example, Ye Cheng knew a rich overseas businessman who bought a private island with a total area of about 150 square kilometers at a price of 1200 million US dollars, which is a good price.
Most of the other luxurious private islands are in the Caribbean Sea.
Although the area is only tens of square kilometers, due to its superior location and complete facilities, the auction price is as high as 5650 million US dollars!
The gap between different private islands can be imagined.
Islands with a large area not only have no sales market, but also have ridiculously high maintenance costs, which leads to a very low unit price.
After the dinner was over, Ye Cheng glanced at Guo Qihua who was about to leave, and suddenly said, "Mr. Guo stays, I need your help with something."
Guo Qihua stopped immediately, and walked in front of the two with a little doubt.
Ye Cheng knew that he was engaged in overseas real estate before, so he should have a way to know the friends who sell the island.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Li, what's the matter?" Guo Qihua asked after hearing the sound.
The two looked at each other, and then Li Yao said solemnly, "I want to buy a private island. I don't know if Mr. Guo has a channel?"
Guo Qihua breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was some big event, which made him nervous.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I can definitely help you with this matter," Guo Qihua said casually, "I wonder how much private island you need, Mr. Li?"
Ye Cheng smiled without saying a word, seeing Li Yao's horrific figures, really shocked Guo Qihua too.
After understanding the situation, Guo Qihua wondered, did Li Yao want to get involved in overseas business and build an island for tourism?
But I have never heard of any island tourism project that needs such a large area...
After Guo Qihua hesitated, it seemed that several names appeared in his mind.
"I think... I should have a way."
"It's just that Mr. Li, do you have any special requirements for the private island's location, supervision, environmental protection indicators, etc.?"
Li Yao smiled, "I don't have many conditions for the private island, as long as I can control the absolute dominance of the island."
Guo Qihua nodded, and promised heavily: "Since this is the case, it will be much easier.
"Mr. Li, don't worry, I will get in touch with the intermediary third party, and if there is any new progress, I will inform you as soon as possible."
......
Li Yao's plan to buy a large private island is naturally not for entertainment, but for Xingyao's long-term technological development.
If he wants to get in touch with deeper technological projects, the domestic environment alone is not enough to support it.
Placing some projects overseas will not be subject to supervision and is safe enough.
The purpose of Li Yao's coming to Huaqing this time to show off his face was to think about hiring this group of social elite workers to work on the private island.
Time flies, and it's August in the blink of an eye.
During the period, Guo Qihua was also in contact with him, constantly confirming the seller of the large private island, but unfortunately, it was not the best option.
Either the area is small, or it is close to the supervised sea area, and many comprador procedures need to be completed.
But the hard work pays off, and there is finally feedback after a long wait.
A third-party international auction company took the initiative to contact Guo Qihua.
The other party claimed to have found the most suitable large island with a suitable climate, convenient sea transportation, and a location far away from the inland, which was extremely safe.
Guo Qihua immediately recommended the information to Li Yao, and offered favors along the way.
Li Yao's eyes lit up immediately after receiving the information.
This island is really good, located in the Indian Ocean, in a low latitude area near the equator.
Moreover, there is also sea transportation, an airport can be built, and the transportation is convenient.
The most important point is that the island is the property of the seller's family, but due to the family's poor management, the seller was forced to sell only its island property.
Therefore, no large-scale construction has been started on the overall picture of the island, and there are few infrastructures inside, so there is no need to hire workers to dismantle and rectify it later.
After Li Yao obtained the contact information of the third-party intermediary, he planned to fly to England first before making any plans.
Over London, England, a private plane from Oriental Huaxia was slowly landing at London Stansted Airport.
Li Yao stretched himself, stepped on the red carpet on the steps of getting off the plane, and looked at the outline of the city of London from a distance.
Over the towering and tall buildings, it was raining and cloudy.
"The weather has always been so bad, and I don't know how these British guys survived." Li Yao sighed.
He did not take anyone with him on this trip, nor did he disclose any information to the outside world.
He even erased his whereabouts on the Internet, and even Qianlong couldn't track him overseas.
The purpose of acting in such secrecy is to meet with the senior management of BBE Systems and discuss the previous military factory project.
When he walked out of the tarmac, Li Yao's handsome face attracted the attention of many British women, who all winked at him.
Compared with domestic, they are not so reserved.
The beauty with "big ambitions" took the initiative to walk towards Li Yao.But he was ruthless.
Soon Li Yao saw the reception staff of BBE System Company, dressed in army green flight suits, with a classic image of a tough guy.
"Excuse me, is it Mr. Li...Yao...?"
The person headed by the other party spoke in awkward Chinese, and tried sincerely word by word.
It can be seen that they have worked hard to learn Chinese in order to impress Li Yao.
It's just too ugly...
Li Yao nodded speechlessly.
"Yes, it's me."
The BBE receptionist looked overjoyed, hurriedly greeted the others and said hello to Li Yao, and then reached out to carry his luggage.
Li Yao clapped his hands away and deliberately spoke English for the convenience of communication.
He said softly: "I don't need it, you can lead the way."
Hearing his fluent London English accent, the receptionist froze for a moment, then touched the back of his head and smiled mischievously.
Chapter 74
The administrative director of BBE System Company rushed back to London all the way, and was responsible for Li Yao's reception throughout the process.
"Mr. Li, nice to meet you!"
Ackerman, the administrative director, happily introduced himself. This is the first time he has received a large Huaxia client.
Li Yao shook hands with him, "Don't waste time, just take me to the production workshop."
Ackerman also wanted to entertain him well, so that this distinguished oriental guest could experience the one-stop service in London.
But Li Yao asked for this, so he had no choice but to lead the way.
On the way, Ackerman was fluent in eloquence, constantly bragging about his company in order to impress customers.
"Mr. Li, in case you don't know, our company has more than 10 employees. The annual order volume is nearly 400 billion pounds. Among them, military sales account for one third."
"At the same time, we also have first-class system supply capabilities, with very mature technologies on naval platforms, military aircraft, electronic products, system integration and other technologies reaching nine domestic markets around the world."
Ackerman is full of confidence. As the world's top defense company, they have this strength.
Li Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.
For Li Yao, it may take less than 10 minutes to break through their defense system.
An hour later, Li Yao came to one of their military production workshops.
Since it is an international sale, it is usually used to show customers here, and no confidentiality agreement has been signed.
Walk to the top of a production line and overlook the entire production process through the bulletproof glass.
Various components are processed from large machinery in an orderly manner, and then enter the hands of commissioning personnel for relevant tests.
Ackerman didn't keep it secret either: "Mr. Li, do you know about powered delta wings?"
"Powered delta wing?" Li Yao nodded, "A lightweight powered aircraft."
Ackerman was a little surprised that he would know about such a niche aircraft.
Ackerman said with a smile: "To be honest with Mr. Li, this small aircraft that can be quickly folded and unfolded is very suitable for special forces to perform some special tasks."
"The powered delta wing we produced is going to be sold to international forces like mercenaries. Since the price is not very expensive, they are very popular with them."
Li Yao asked, "How much is the price?"
Ackerman held out a finger, "One is only $[-]."
Li Yao pointed to the parts on the track below.
"A pair of wings, a fuselage, and an aviation propeller engine can form a powered delta-wing aircraft. You tell me to sell it for [-] dollars? That's it?"
"Even the power delta wing propeller doesn't use carbon fiber material, and the cost I estimate is at most $[-]."
Ackerman's face was startled. He didn't expect him to guess right, and their cost calculations were not bad.
But Ackerman still insisted, "You don't know this. The power delta wing we produced has a new black technology of BBE. It is not convenient to disclose the details to you."
Li Yao was speechless, he would not know what kind of black technology.
Crazy price increase black technology, right?
Think about it too, an aircraft suitable for special forces to perform special missions, don't sell it for tens of thousands of dollars, are you embarrassed?
Perhaps even the military branch that uses this equipment feels ashamed.
Li Yao thought that the military supplies he sold to Qianlong should also increase in price later.
In order to win over Li Yao, Ackerman deliberately revealed to him a "password to get rich".
He looked at Li Yao seriously and said, "Mr. Li, I know that Xingyao Technology is also producing exoskeleton equipment and selling them to the military. In fact, you can also sell them to international third-party hiring forces. willing!"
Ackerman whispered in his ear: "In fact, they also need someone to open up links internally. The high purchase price is convenient for them to operate dark accounts to get kickbacks."
"To put it simply, based on the attitude of mercenaries towards equipment, if our quotation is too low, they will think the equipment is too low-grade."
Even unpopular things like power delta wings can be sold at ten times the price. One can imagine how high their profits can be for other popular military products.
In Li Yao's heart, mmp, he still has to do international trade, these people are really extremely greedy.
The profit ratio of a small powered delta wing is much higher than his Microgram No. [-] mass-produced aircraft.
He sold it to Qianlong for only 500 million yuan, and the cost alone was 100 million yuan.
No, the price will increase when you go back!
Ackerman didn't notice the change in Li Yao's expression, and continued: "If Mr. Li wants to configure a military production line, I suggest that you also visit our company's parts suppliers."
"Quality suppliers are also our strong partners."
This sentence reminded Li Yao that the parts of the Microgram [-] mass-produced machine are quite complicated, and require high accuracy to ensure high-load combat requirements.
The newly purchased Dasino machine tools will be able to meet the processing task requirements in the production and testing phase, as well as the small batch production phase.
However, it is necessary to increase the production speed in the later stage.
It seems that the latter machine tools are planned to be installed before the end of the year.
Along the way, Ackerman led Li Yao to a lounge where a man with a high nose bridge was sitting in a red dress.
Ackerman introduced the man: "Charles, this is Mr. Li."
