Chapter 4 Which island is better?

Zhang Yaming spent a night to figure out the procedures for buying islands and the pros and cons of buying islands, and contacted Vila, the world's largest island trading agency, and asked them to help him find a suitable island.

When Zhang Yaming paid a deposit online, filled out a form, and wrote down his size, price, region and special requirements for the islands he bought and sold, it finally dawned and the new year has arrived!

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Zhang Yaming first brought a lot of gifts to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.

When my mother passed away and sold someone to look at the old house, thanks to his family's help, the gifts given by Zhang Yaming were very expensive.

I sold two bottles of Wuliangye Moutai and a 50-year-old wild ginseng to my uncle, and gave my cousin an imported air evolver. These things are very practical, which made my uncle and his family overjoyed.

In the first year of the Chinese New Year, there were many guests coming to my uncle's house. Even though Zhang Yaming tried hard to stand in the corner, he was still regarded as a celebrity and pulled to the most conspicuous place.

He is worth tens of millions, only in his twenties, and he will be praised and envied when he walks there.

Especially when someone knew from Zhang Yasong that when Zhang Yaming didn't have a girlfriend, many kind-hearted people immediately promised to introduce him to his girlfriend with all their promises.

That enthusiasm made Zhang Yaming ashamed.

There was really no way, so Zhang Yaming had to go out with his cousin and planned to stroll around his hometown!

During the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of people in my hometown, and people come and go with smiles on their faces. You can see many people who have returned from the south, because in the cold winter, they don’t wear cotton jackets, but just spring clothes, and their necks are shrunk.

"You see, the family has changed a lot. It's much richer than when we were young. At that time, it would be nice for children to wear new clothes during the New Year, and it would be as lively as the New Year now!"

Zhang Yasong is very excited, but he likes to stay in his hometown. He feels that his hometown is good, and the consumption in small cities is low and comfortable. There are several companies in the town that can provide some employment opportunities, and his life feels very satisfying.

"The house is quite lively, but look at the air, it's gray everywhere, you can't see the sun. There is water but there is no fish in the river. The fry has been poisoned to pesticides."

"Those factories have increased employment opportunities, but look at the chemical factory cement factories, there are such factories in the town. Wouldn't this allow future generations to breathe toxic air?"

Zhang Yaming frowned and looked at the sky. It was eleven o'clock in the morning. There was not even the sun in the sky. It was gray everywhere. The ground was covered with firecrackers. The air quality in my hometown was also very poor.

"Ahem, you say it easy. I also want my hometown to be as beautiful as a park. The river water is clear and the air is fresh. However, when we attract investment, we can't find good companies at all, only cement plants and chemical plants."

"Or why you invest more than 30 million yuan and change the environment of your hometown. In this way, you can be considered as seeking benefits for your hometown!"

Zhang Yasong said with a smile. His cousin became rich and seemed to have never decided to do anything. The leaders in the town encouraged him several times and asked him to persuade his cousin to invest his money in his hometown.

Anyway, Yaming always needs to use his money, and it is better to invest in his hometown than to be cheaper than others.

"Well, I have that plan too, but it's not that now. The investment in the mainland for more than 30 million is too small. When I make a lot of money, I will take the money back to improve the bad situation in my hometown. I don't want my children in the future to get lung cancer like my mother..."

Zhang Yaming looked at the largest Qingshui River in front of him, which was already turbid. The green mountains that originally produced ginseng and Cordyceps in the distance were destroyed, and he was very sad.

"Haha, okay, today is the New Year, don't say such unhappy words..."

When Zhang Yasong heard his cousin say something that he had made money, he was very dissatisfied and thought that he was just rude. He was reluctant to give up money.

Isn’t this just empty talk when you have money?

But the money belongs to others, so I don’t have much to say!

The information form of the reservation islands that Zhang Yaming submitted was soon received by Vera Company. The company submitted information to the three islands for him to choose according to his request.

One is in Canada, one is in Australia, and the other is in Greece. These three islands have been screened by the Vera Company, which are more in line with Zhang Yaming's requirements.

So Vera Company invited him to take time to conduct a field trip, or come to live on a few islands for a while, and then decide to buy that island!

After obtaining visas from several different countries, Zhang Yaming took a plane to his first stop on the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, Quebec Sleeping Island, Canada.

Canada, a country with maple leaves as its national flag, has a very developed economy and is a country with a lot of immigrants. Therefore, the first island that Villa Company reported to Zhang Yaming to choose is in Canada!

At the airport, before Zhang Yaming had reversed the jet lag, he met Mark, who was sent by Vera Company to receive him, a very talkative American.

A white man in his thirties, who is capable and big, is not rude to Zhang Yaming. And because they often deal with Chinese, they speak Chinese fluently and directly call him Mr. Zhang.

This made Zhang Yaming breathe a sigh of relief, and he directly called him Mark according to his introduction.

The arrangements of Vera's company were very good. After seeing Mark, Zhang Yaming arranged the itinerary. After getting off the plane, he took a bus to the dock to take a steamer.

It is still very cold in Canada in the second and third month of the Gregorian calendar, and the snow in some places has not melted yet. Fortunately, the place where they boarded the cruise ship is a port and the port is a very large number of ships.

The cruise ship was flat and stable, while Mark introduced some Canadian customs and basic situations of Sleeping Island like Zhang Yaming.

Sleeping Island is in the southwest, with a much better temperature than the annual low temperature in the north, and is relatively close to China. This is one of the reasons why Vila Company recommends Sleeping Island to Zhang Yaming.

The island looks like about three thousand acres, and there is a dock for ships and a wooden two-story villa, about two or three hundred square meters.

Among these three thousand acres of land, there is a beach, but most of them are of various trees. The island has a rich variety of species, and there are many small animals in it. Moreover, the island has a rich fresh water, and there is a waterfall!

So although the island is not large, its price is 2.3 million euros, equivalent to about 19 million yuan. With some procedures and agency fees, it just meets his requirements for buying an island.

Zhang Yaming noticed that the location of this island is only half an hour from the small town near it, and the nearest city is also within one and a half hours.

"My dear Mr. Zhang, please believe in the strength of our company. The islands we choose for you must be the most suitable for you!"

Seeing that Zhang Yaming was quite satisfied with this Sleeping Island, Mark was very enthusiastic. He even felt that the customer in front of him had a very promising deal after seeing the Sleeping Island.

"Thank you, Mr. Mark. I still believe in the strength of your company. We'll be here soon!"

There are air conditioners in the cabin, which makes people feel very warm. Many women are wearing skirts to show off their good figures, but on the deck on the boat, the wind is biting, at least Zhang Yaming can't stay there.

So Zhang Yaming really hopes to see the sleeping island soon.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will soon see this sleeping island. This island is particularly beautiful in winter and will definitely satisfy you!"

Mark snapped his fingers and brought Zhang Yaming a glass of wine. In Canada, men like to drink wine, but Zhang Yaming couldn't get used to the spirits. The wine was okay. Mark quickly figured out his preferences, so the two got along very well.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Mark and Zhang Yaming finally arrived at Sleeping Island. The sun was very comfortable at noon, and Zhang Yaming was excited when he got off the boat.

As long as you nod, this island is yours.

Look at the blue sea, the white clouds in the sky, and the sound of seabirds coming from time to time, plus a small wooden house and a beach, all of this is as beautiful as a painting.

The island is indeed very beautiful. Zhang Yaming likes it very much. He lives here with Mark at night, and another family is taking care of the island and houses.

In the evening, when there was no one, Zhang Yaming looked at the pendant. Sure enough, there was a layer of misty water vapor on it. It seemed that he had been on the right trip to the island.

The biggest advantage of this island is that there is a waterfall on the island, with very good freshwater resources and convenient transportation, so the price is relatively high.

But this Canadian winter is too long and too cold, and Zhang Yaming compared the other two islands given to him by Mark. This sleeping island also seems to have shortcomings.

The first area is a little smaller, only about 5,000 acres of land, which is actually three or four square meters, and is very small in the island.

The only valuable thing on the island is a wooden house. It is very difficult to develop and invest in other woods. Moreover, the dock is too small, and the investment in the middle and late stages is very large, which is much greater than the amount of money to buy an island several times.

Of course, this is also a common problem in all islands. Let’s put it this way, if you cut down a piece of wood from the island and transport it out, the price is more expensive than buying two pieces of wood outside!

Everything on the island is transported by ship. Whether it is food or vegetables, it is several times or even dozens of times more expensive than on the shore. For example, vegetables may only cost three yuan per pound in China.

However, on the island, the price of imported vegetables, plus air freight and sea freight, may increase dozens of times, which is much higher than the price of vegetables itself.

Moreover, some islands also have a big safety hazard, that is, the pirates that make people feel troubled!
