At night, Lao Ba Road is still crowded with people, and under the bright lights, there are lively scenes everywhere.
Xiao Qi and Qu Liang were sitting in a clean box. Looking at the vague noise coming from below, they could feel everyone's happy mood.
Slowly eating braised cherry meat, Qu Liang was very satisfied and took another sip of glutinous rice wine. He smiled and said to Xiao Qi: "Our country is better, those ghost guys only know how to fry, fry and bake, they don't understand at all.
As for the art of dining, I don’t think they have much fun in life.”
"Everything they eat is just sugar. I wonder if they were short of sugar in their previous life, so they were so sweet. It would be strange if they didn't grow fat!" Xiao Qi said in agreement.
He suffered from these problems at that time, and later he had to start his own business at home. Therefore, many professors and classmates often came to his dormitory to enjoy the autumn breeze.
Qu Liang clapped his hands and said, "Hey, the Americans are actually pretty good. You have never been to the UK, so you don't know the pain of the Chinese there! I once worked there for a year, and then I felt that compared to the UK,
The United States is already a paradise. British food basically consists of potatoes, potatoes, and potatoes. For a while, I felt that everyone on the street was a potato. And after returning to the United States from the United Kingdom, I never ate potatoes again.
So disgusting!”
"Yes, even Japanese food is better than those in these countries." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "They have just learned a little bit about Chinese catering, and they have already established a sect in the world."
"I don't really like Japanese food, it's too bland." Qu Liang shrugged, "But I like to play with Japanese women, because they are docile and obedient, and they are not as demanding and thoughtful as domestic women, haha!"
Xiao Qi nodded.
Nowadays, young girls in China have their values and life philosophy formed in the "money, money, money" of reform and opening up. There are many people who worship money. Their desire for money has completely surpassed theirs.
The mentality that girls of this age should have.
Take the girls of Sichuan Normal University, for example. Many beautiful girls appear in the lawn and garden of Fairy Company. The purpose is not to take a walk, but to catch a rich husband and find a boyfriend from Fairy Company.
Not to mention, many of those technical nerds have suffered at their hands. At least more than 70 of them have found female Sichuan Normal University students who are a few years younger than them as their girlfriends.
Those who find boyfriends in fairy companies are pretty good, but those girls who get in luxury cars parked around the school every weekend and go out to have fun and have fun are really impressive.
Since this is true for girls, it is even more true for adult women in their twenties.
Although it is not as transactional as in the future, "I should marry a 50 million rich man based on my beauty", their pursuit of life enjoyment is still beyond the normal range.
Xiao Qi always has a little bit of innocence, so he doesn't like such realistic women at all. Usually when he meets these women, Xiao Qi won't even look at them.
Thoughts passing by, Xiao Qi poured himself a glass of juice. "Brother Qu, you asked me out in such a hurry. It should be from the Maldives island. Is there any news?"
"There is some progress, but it is not ideal." Qu Liang said while still eating: "In the Maldives government, there are fierce factional conflicts, but no one dares to buy and sell islands so blatantly. The suggestions they put forward are based on the company's
Just use the name to purchase the 99-year lease right and renew it later.”
"How is this possible? Australia also has a 99-year lease period. I might as well buy one in Australia!" Xiao Qi flatly refused.
"Yes, how could the world's richest man rent an island?" Qu Liang said with a smile, "So now we are continuing to negotiate. If it doesn't work, we will increase the amount. I don't believe they can refuse that kind of temptation."
"Well, you don't have to just be busy with my family. I believe that many rich people are interested in buying one or two islands in the Maldives, right?" Xiao Qi said, "If everyone joins forces, it should be easier to exert pressure.
Right? What's more, we don't pay management fees. Electricity bills, water bills, supplies of various items, and service personnel are hired. Aren't we all letting them do it? This is also a long-term transaction! Otherwise, according to their turtle speed
, I’m afraid they won’t be able to develop the remaining 1,000 or so islands before the Maldives sinks, right?”
"Haha, Qi Shao, you are really vicious in what you say!" Qu Liang laughed, but his attitude was very serious: "But these methods and excuses you mentioned are very helpful for negotiations... If you
If you don’t mind, I think I can find some of your friends, explain to them that you want to buy an island in the Maldives, and then include them as well.”
Xiao Qi burst into laughter, "Then let me guess, does Richardson count as one? Ellison counts as one? Bezos doesn't know if he is willing to buy it. Anyway, a guy like Gang Leader Qiao who has no interest in life should be
I won’t buy it.”
"You are right about the first three people. Their love for islands is well-known in the United States." Qu Liang said with a smile, "Besides, you have also forgotten Mr. Berard of LVMH in France. His three
My daughter has recently grown up, and I think an island in the Maldives would be a good gift. In addition, Mr. Bobby, the CEO of Green Pine Capital, should also be a little interested."
After a pause, he added: "There are almost more than 20 islands in total. Six of the world's most famous super-rich people are exerting pressure together. I think the Maldives will have some scruples... In addition, the Maldives is in
There is a lot of investment in the United States. As far as I know, they bought a lot of bonds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac!"
"Hahaha……"
When talking to smart people, there is no need to speak so clearly.
As one of the largest commercial banks in the United States, Citibank certainly knew that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac misappropriated funds to settle accounts for China State Investment Corporation. It was this reason that led to the early destruction of Bear Stearns.
Since the Chinese government has done such a big thing, Qu Liang thinks Xiao Qi should know about it - but he doesn't know that Xiao Qi originally planned this matter!!
The situation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is very bad. Everyone with information knows this. Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and other investment banks, banks, and even large fund companies have been slowly selling off their stocks.
Bonds, in the end, those who were harmed by Fannie and Freddie Bonds were just cannon fodder who didn't know the inside story - for example, China, Japan and other super swindlers in the previous life, who didn't know how many bonds were smashed into their hands.
In his previous life, Xiao Qi had never cared about the Maldives Investment Bureau, but based on Qu Liang's tone, the Maldives might not be able to escape.
Any country that is based on resources will consider one thing, and that is what to do when its own resources are exhausted.
The oil tycoons in the Middle East started planning decades ago. They have bought too many companies, mining resources, land, etc., openly and covertly, in an effort to ensure that their descendants can still live without oil.
A good day without worries.
The Maldives is in a worse situation, because they only began to gradually develop tourism in the 1980s, and it was not until after 2000 that it developed significantly, and then after the financial crisis in 2008, and after the RMB became more and more valuable,
Gradually, it is praised as another Phuket Island by the Chinese people.
Therefore, they still don't have much money, otherwise it would be impossible and less than 100 islands have been developed.
In this case, the money they invested was probably picked out from between their teeth.
Once a loss occurs, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Maldives' finances.
Although the population of the Maldives is very small, almost all of them are concentrated on their capital, Male Island. Once something happens, it is very easy to do it in such a small area.
If the people find out that all their money has been wasted due to government investment, no matter how powerful their president is, they can't handle it, right?
When Xiao Qi and a group of rich people spend hundreds of millions of dollars, and coupled with the steady flow of money in the future, they have no reason to push this life-saving straw out!
"Qi Shao, just wait patiently! Citigroup will never disappoint its customers." Qu Liang concluded: "If I didn't have this interest, I would also like to buy an island to play."
"Don't worry, some of the islands I bought are just for friends. When you are free, you can go on vacation with your sister-in-law and niece. I will welcome you." Xiao Qi said with a smile, he naturally
It is impossible not to be a human being.
He wants to buy enough islands, not only for his wife and parents, but also for vacation islands for the company's employees, and one or two islands for business partners, etc.
It doesn't cost much, but it makes people feel happy.
In fact, the most important thing to buy an island is five to six million U.S. dollars. The most important thing is the development of the island.
Transportation, roads, houses, electricity, fresh water, maintenance, etc. The money is no cheaper than buying an island.
If you want to build the island better, there are more places to spend money.
But Xiao Qi has always felt that after making money, you have to spend it, otherwise it will be meaningless.
As long as it is legitimately earned money, you can spend it as you wish.
Didn’t you see that Director Huo spent 2 million on his trip to the Maldives?
This girl really knows how to enjoy life!
Unlike her eldest sister, she spends all her time with Xiao Qi, or goes back to the Northeast to take care of her parents, and her pregnant sister-in-law. She has a hard life~~
