For those who enjoy life, breakfast, lunch or dinner are all worth spending more time to enjoy.
It not only fills the stomach, but also a kind of enjoyment for the taste buds, and it is also a kind of spiritual rest.
All right.
Such thoughts are of course only held by those petty bourgeoisie women.
And Huo Zhuzhu, who is called "the model of petty bourgeoisie beauty" by Xiao Qi, naturally practices this.
Xiao Qi has heard that in Fairy Real Estate Rongcheng Branch, the rest area of the office on the floor dedicated to Huo Zhuzhu has always been the most elegant and relaxing place. Huo Zhuzhu made it look like a paradise.
, eating and drinking afternoon tea there is definitely the most enjoyable experience.
Maybe Xiao Qi himself has no sense of aesthetics. Anyway, the last time he went to Huo Zhuzhu's place, he didn't see any difference.
It just so happened that Xiao Qi brought a set meal himself and sat in a corner on the third floor to eat. Not long after, he heard a few girls sitting in a partitioned compartment behind him.
The reason why I said it was a girl was because Xiao Qi smelled several completely different perfumes, all of which were high-end ones and smelled quite good.
"Sister Zhuzhu, I heard that you went to the Maldives some time ago and booked an island for yourself, which shocked the foreigners. Is it true?" A girl asked after a while.
Xiao Qicai was thinking that this "Sister Zhuzhu" could not be Huo Zhuzhu. Sure enough, Huo Zhuzhu's voice rang out: "Giggle~~ It's nothing! In fact, it's mainly because this time is in the Maldives.
During the peak season, there were too many people. Our family didn’t go out to watch people, so we simply booked a small island and had a great time.”
"You must have spent enough money, right?" another girl asked cautiously.
"Well, we were there for almost two weeks and spent a total of 2 million yuan, completely spending the performance bonus that my eldest sister gave me some time ago." Huo Zhuzhu said in a sweet voice, but there was something wrong no matter how you heard it.
The butt smells of arrogance and show off.
"Wow~~Sister Zhuzhu, you are so willing~~"
"Yes, our company knows how to enjoy. Sister Zhuzhu is the first."
“My family rented an island and asked everyone on the island to serve me. I have never dreamed of living like this~~”
Several little girls were chattering, and Huo Zhuzhu chuckled softly, fully enjoying their admiration.
Xiao Qi secretly smiled and shook his head. This girl is really willing to spend money on pleasure. She spent 2 million in 2 weeks. Even in 2008, when the Maldives was not occupied by Chinese tourists, even
It’s a small island, but it’s also very amazing!
"You don't understand, what am I? Many rich people have bought their own private islands in the Maldives. That's awesome!" Huo Zhuzhu said, "The island I went to this time is
It belongs to a Frenchman. I heard that he only spent 200,000 US dollars when he bought it 20 years ago. Now you can't buy it for 5 million US dollars!"
"Wow, I'm so envious of foreigners who can buy their own islands." A girl said, "Sister Zhuzhu, when you get rich, you can just buy an island and let us take advantage of it to travel.
That’s great~~”
"You shouldn't come to me about this matter. You have to go to the eldest sister so that she can have the money to buy it." Huo Zhuzhu said: "But this is not easy. Now the Maldives no longer sells islands. Only dozens of islands were sold before.
Only those who bought the island in 2018 have the right to sell their island. But now the tourism industry in the Maldives is getting more and more popular. Many of them just rent it out and have already made a lot of money. No one is ready to sell it.
.”
Several girls discussed the beauty of the Maldives there again, and it took a full hour before the conversation ended with unfulfilled interest.
Xiao Qi had already quietly left the restaurant and returned to the office.
What Huo Zhuzhu said just now reminded Xiao Qi of something. That is, he can buy a few small islands and give them to his parents and wives. The meaning of this is more important than giving away some houses, jewelry and antiques.
Much better.
Foreign islands are fully owned. If you buy them, they will be your property for generations to come. Unless an undersea volcano erupts and destroys the island, or sea levels rise and the island is submerged, you can keep it forever.
Among the islands for sale, there are a few that are the most famous.
The first one is the British Virgin Islands. Xiao Qi’s friend Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin, bought an island here, renovated it and rented it out to others.
Then there are the Bahamas, where the magic king David Copperfield bought 4 islands in one go.
The third is an artificial island near Dubai. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt bought one here, but this is not the "heart-shaped island" that Angelina gave to Pitt as a birthday gift.
Small island near New York.
In the above three areas, the development of private islands is very mature. Basically, there are templates for construction after purchase, and water, electricity, transportation, etc. are very convenient.
The rest are the coastal areas of some countries, such as the United States, Brazil, Thailand and other places, which usually exist alone and have no climate, and require great efforts to repair, build and coordinate infrastructure.
What Xiao Qi was interested in was not the above-mentioned areas, but the private island in the Maldives that Huo Zhuzhu mentioned.
Because the Maldives is indeed very beautiful, a very good place for relaxing and exclusive travel, and the scenery here cannot be overstated as paradise on earth.
If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world, then coming to the Maldives is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
As for the rumors that the Maldives are likely to be submerged due to climate warming, Xiao Qi doesn't believe it.
Because twenty years ago, when the Maldives was attracting tourists from all over the world, it had already used the gimmick of "a string of pearls that will disappear from the earth in twenty years."
Then twenty years later, the Maldives' propaganda turned into "a string of pearls that will disappear from the earth in twenty years."
Global warming is a fact, but the speed is not as exaggerated as advertised. These crisis legends are just spread by the Maldives to stimulate your desire to travel.
From the young man's point of view, it was impossible for such a thing to happen within at least 100 years.
It would be enough to buy a few small islands for your wife and parents and enjoy them for a few decades for your whole family.
As for what islands future generations want to buy, that is their business, and Xiao Qi does not need to think too carefully about it for them.
However, the trouble is that the Maldives has stopped selling islands since a few years ago. So far, there are only more than 60 private islands, most of which have been used as holiday islands.
The Maldives is an archipelago country with approximately more than 1,200 islands, of which only more than 100 are developed and utilized. By 2013, there will be more than 200 islands, and most of the islands are still undeveloped.
As for whether to purchase islands that have been purchased by private individuals or to focus on undeveloped islands, Xiao Qi has not made up his mind.
But he was the subject of consultation.
I made a call to the headquarters of Citibank in Chengdu. Vice President Qu Liang quickly answered the phone: "Hey, Mr. Qi, it's rare for you to call me!"
"What does it mean to be rare? Have I not given you enough business?" Xiao Qi laughed, "Here comes the good news, Mr. Qu, I have a big deal for you!"
Qu Liang perked up and said, "Young Master Qi, that's all you command!"
Even Xiao Qi said it was a big deal, so how can it be paid off?
"I want to buy 10-20 islands in the Maldives. How can I get it done?" Xiao Qi was unambiguous and stated his request directly.
Citibank is not so much a bank as it is a broker. In addition to the bank's own business, they also provide many customized services to meet all the requirements of customers. This is their belief as an American bank and investment bank - to satisfy customers.
, only then can you make money!
Qu Liang's knowledge is still very broad. He was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't the Maldives no longer selling islands?"
"If it's so easy, why should I ask you?" Xiao Qi asked, "Try hard to help me realize this wish. The islands in the Maldives are not cheap! A business of two to three billion US dollars should be quite big for the Chengdu branch.
Alright?"
"That's true." Qudian nodded. At the same time, he also realized that this was Xiao Qi's business. Just the improvement of this relationship was a good thing.
"You have to do a better job, lest Tony say, why didn't I let him do it?" Xiao Qi warned with a smile.
"Haha, if you want to find Tony, there is nothing you can do." Qu Liang suddenly smiled and said: "Sorry, Qi Shao, let me introduce myself again. I, Qu Liang, will soon take up the post of president of Citibank Chengdu Branch.
, please give me your advice in the future!”
"Oh?" Xiao Qi was surprised, "Tony...has been promoted?"
"Haha, yes." Qu Liang replied: "He went to New York for a meeting a few days ago and called back to say that he was about to be transferred to the position of president of the Hong Kong branch. The former president of the Hong Kong branch, Mochiyev, would be the president of the Asia region.
For the position of general manager, Mr. Jabil, the former general manager of Asia, will serve as executive vice president of Citibank."
Qu Liang talked about such a long list of job changes, but Xiao Qi understood immediately upon hearing this that this was purely a sign of the victory of Jabil's Asian department.
"Where's Wade?" Xiao Qi asked smoothly.
"Mr. Wade also joined the head office and took up his old job as head of the asset management department." Qu Liang smiled and said, "I really can't hide it from you, Mr. Qi!"
When Xiao Qi asked Wade, it meant that he knew the reason.
It's so easy to talk to smart people.
Speaking of which, the high-level promotions of the Asian department are partly due to the shock after the subprime mortgage crisis, and partly due to their good performance due to their friendship with Xiao Qi.
