Chapter 930: Buying the Island

"Which island do you want to buy?" Lawrence should be more cautious. He thought that Ouyang Zhenhua and the others might have bought a beach-with-the-scenes road to build a vacation villa like other rich people, but he vaguely felt that it would not be that simple, otherwise the other party would not have used this as a condition.

"Christmas Island", Ouyang Zhenhua spit out these three words.

"Oh, Christmas Island, it is 2,600 kilometers away from Perth, and the distance from your country is more than 3,000 kilometers. What do you want that island to do?" Jeffrey Nash is very familiar with Christmas Island, because Christmas Island only has chartered flights from Perth to the local area, and the foreign trade of Christmas Island mainly happens with Australia. As an official in charge of business, it is reasonable for Nash to be familiar with the situation, but he doesn't understand why Chen Kangjie and the others are interested in it.

"I have recorded your request, but we should make a long-term plan for this matter. I can't be anxious. Now I dare not agree to anything." Lawrence knew the importance and knew that Chen Kangjie and the others were using Christmas Island as the condition, so his enthusiasm was reduced instantly.

"Haha, we know that this matter is not easy to handle, it doesn't matter, so we can discuss it again." Chen Kangjie saw that Lawrence was embarrassed, so he was not pressed and pretended to be nothing. In fact, his core purpose of coming to Australia this time was this path, and other investments were second.

There was a little stuck in this condition, and the subsequent communication was a little boring. After more than twenty minutes of chatting, Lawrence suggested that they go to the guest room to rest on the grounds that Chen Kangjie and the others were going to rush to the morning of the next morning.

"Mr. Jie, I still don't understand why you want to get this path? As far as I know, most of the island is rugged mountainous, only Flying Fish Cove in the northeast is flat, and the residents mainly live there, close to the ports and airports. There were originally apatite mines on it, but over the past few decades, it has been almost mined by the Christmas Island Phosphate Mining Co., Ltd., jointly operated by Australia and Spain, and there are abundant fishery resources around it. Do you want to fish? I think it is a bit inappropriate if you buy an island to build a resort." For a long time, Ouyang Zhenhua didn't know Chen Kangjie's intention to ask for this island, and Chen Kangjie couldn't say it, but Chen Kangjie wanted it, Ouyang Zhenhua would naturally do some effort on this island.

Ouyang Zhenhua and Chen Kangjie sat face to face on the balcony on the second floor of the cabin. Tonight, the sky was full of stars, and it seemed that the sky would be much clearer when you saw it in the mountains. The mountain wind blew and the woods rustled, which made people feel very cool and their minds were much clearer.

"You will know this later. Now I just want to take down this island. For it, no matter how much money I have, I can spare. In fact, the island has a lot of tourism resources. Even as a private resort, it is very qualified. First of all, there are airports and ports here to facilitate transportation. Secondly, there are nearly a thousand people on it. These people can be converted into service staff, and most of them are Chinese, and everyone has a natural sense of closeness." Chen Kangjie did not explain his real purpose, but he still explained that this place is not useless.

"That's an independent kingdom." Ouyang Zhenhua had never thought about having nearly a thousand subordinates in a single place and was a little surprised.

"Haha, I don't become an emperor, so why do I create an independent kingdom? Although the highest mountain on Christmas Island, Murray Hill, reaches an altitude of 361 meters, at least the vegetation is well preserved, and 70% of the area has become a national park. The temperature does not change much, and fresh water is really a good place." Since finding this place, Chen Kangjie has paid a lot of attention to the information about this island. It can be said that he knows much deeper than what Ouyang Zhenhua knows.

"It's just that the distance is too far." No matter how good Chen Kangjie said it, Ouyang Zhenhua still felt that it was not very good.

"It's far away from our country, but not all countries," Chen Kangjie said softly at the shadow of the mountain in the distance.

"Yes, the Megawatt Island is only more than 300 kilometers away from the Thousand Islands Country,,,,,,." Ouyang Zhenhua said silently, and as he spoke, he felt an enlightenment, but he still didn't understand, "What's the use of getting close to them? What's the use of? We don't have much benefit in the Thousand Islands Country."

"Some benefits cannot be seen by the eyes." Chen Kangjie still looked into the distance, but Ouyang Zhenhua's silent recitation entered his ears word by word.

"Oh," Ouyang Zhenhua nodded in a vague way, "Young Master Jie, then you think, why are Lawrence unwilling to agree to our request? We bought it, but it wasn't for nothing. He asked us at the beginning, but he seemed very active, but he gave up later." Ouyang Zhenhua complained a little.

"We need to understand him. Even ordinary people will not make decisions so readily. Besides, the situation in Christmas Island is a bit special, Brother Ouyang, look, the shadow of that mountain looks like a head." Chen Kangjie suddenly stretched out and jumped into the distance and asked.

"Ah, oh, it's really a bit like it." Ouyang Zhenhua couldn't keep up with Chen Kangjie's changes. When he looked in the direction of Chen Kangjie's finger, he found that the shadow of the mountain really looked like an old man, but the direction he cared about was not as strange as Chen Kangjie. He was still more concerned about Christmas Island. "Mr. Jie, what's the special situation? Tell me."

Chen Kangjie withdrew his gaze and turned around, "First of all, the area of ​​this island is not one or two square kilometers, but 135 square kilometers, which is not small. Besides, it is not a deserted island with residents on it, and many of them are Australian nationality. Third, the island has changed hands several times, first joined the British, and later incorporated into Singapore. It was occupied by the Japanese during World War II, and then belonged to Singapore again after World War II. At that time, the country was not completely independent. In the late 1950s, the island was sold to Australia for 2.6 million pounds. It can be said that the history of this island is very tortuous. Lawrence dared not agree easily to such a place. That is normal. At least the domestic opposition will not be small. If it were you, would you not consider it?"

"So that's the case, it's really hard to start," Ouyang Zhenhua said quietly in a daze.

At this time, there was one more person in the garden downstairs. Under the light of the corridor lights, Chen Kangjie above found that it was Lawrence walking.

"It seems that Lawrence is thinking, let's go down and talk to him again." Chen Kangjie stood up first.

Ouyang Zhenhua then stood up, lay on the fence and looked down, and followed Chen Kangjie downstairs.

Chen Kangjie basically guessed Lawrence's idea. This decision was indeed not good. With the support of Ouyang Zhenhua and Chen Kangjie, Lawrence planned that his chances of winning would increase significantly. However, if he rashly sold Christmas Island, his competitors would definitely put him on some bad charge and hat. In that case, even if he wins, it will seriously affect the stability of his rule.

But if he doesn't agree, the other party will only help Jeffrey Nash, who has nothing to do with him. Although he said that even if the project is successful, it will require the cooperation of the federal government, it is actually of no value. Even if it is not for others, just for Jeffrey Nash and the ruling power in Western Australia, he will try his best to provide cooperation and help.

At the same time, Lawrence had to think about Chen Kangjie and his intention to buy this island. He just read the geographical location and information of Christmas Island again. The geographical location here is very special. On the surface, there are not many natural resources here, but he always thinks that Chen Kangjie and his friends have some special purpose.

"Mr. Lawrence, it's so elegant, and you're still enjoying the night view when you're so late." When Chen Kangjie arrived at the stairs, he changed his position with Ouyang Zhenhua, so the first person to walk towards Lawrence was Ouyang Zhenhua.

Ouyang Zhenhua's tone was very easy-going and did not show any special meaning.

"It's cool outside and I can't sleep for a while, so I'll come out and take a walk. Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Chen, why are you still not sleeping? You'll have to hurry up tomorrow morning."

"It doesn't matter, haha, we have relatively free time, and we may not have to be so anxious to rush back." He was asking Jeffrey. Nash when he would go back, but now he is not in a hurry. The businessman's transformation is really fast. "It's rare to know Mr. Lawrence, so it's okay to talk more. Besides, we can still rest on the plane."

"Haha, thank you, please sit down." Lawrence asked Ouyang Zhenhua and the others to sit down at a wooden table in the yard. "I will go back to Sydney tomorrow afternoon. The election is about to enter a white-hot stage, and I have to go back to deal with a lot of things."

"Then I wish Mr. Lawrence success. I believe that the voters of your country will make wise choices," Ouyang Zhenhua said politely.

"Mr. Ouyang, can you tell me why you want to buy Christmas Island and what function do you plan to develop it into?" Lawrence knew very well how likely he would win, so he did not express his opinion on Ouyang Zhenhua's blessing, but instead brought the topic to previous communication.

"We plan to develop it into a beautiful and luxurious tourist resort island. As my country's economy develops, the number of wealthy people is increasing. People will soon have a blowout growth in travel and vacation. The island is believed to be an ideal choice for high-end customers. For this reason, we plan to make long-term investments in this area and believe there will be good returns on profits." Chen Kangjie did not tell the truth, but found a reason that seems to be barely reasonable.
