"Jiafeng, Jiayue, this is your brother's gift to you!" As soon as Jia Jiafeng and Jia Jiayue entered the house, they saw Boss Jia smiling and stuffing two red packets into their hands.
Jia Jiafeng and Jia Jiayue touched the red packets and found that they were empty. They felt a chill in their hearts. Did their brother lose so much that he gave them empty red packets?
However, on second thought, even if their brother lost tens of billions of dollars, he still had tens of billions of dollars left. It was unlikely that he would go crazy.
So the two sisters tore open the envelope and found that there were two simple contracts inside. This contract was written in Chinese and another foreign language that the two sisters were not familiar with.
After reading the Chinese version of the contract, the two sisters took a deep breath because it was actually two small purchase contracts.
According to the contract, Boss Jia spent 5.3 million dollars and 6.12 million dollars respectively to buy two coral islands in a country called the Maldives.
These two islands had an area of 2.1 square kilometers and 2.3 square kilometers, respectively. In terms of area, they were not very big. They were not even one-tenth the size of the Daqian Industrial Park.
However, according to the contract, after Boss Jia paid, these two islands would completely belong to Boss Jia's private islands. Boss Jia had complete sovereignty over these two islands, and no one could change it. Even if the country of the Maldives wanted to take them back in the future, it would be a breach of the contract.
"These two islands are your brother's gift to you!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "If you are interested, you can go to your own island and have a look. If you are not interested, I will send someone to take care of it for you!"
"There will soon be more than a dozen construction teams on it. I promise to build your island beautifully!"
"Brother!" Jia Jiafeng and Jia Jiayue never dreamed that Boss Jia would actually give them this gift.
However, after thinking about it, this seemed to be a very cool thing. They actually owned their own islands. This was undoubtedly a very exciting thing for the two sisters who grew up in Hua Xia.
"Thank you, brother!" The two sisters said with a smile. Boss Jia also smiled.
"By the way, brother, since you bought it for the two of us, didn't you buy it for yourself? You won't let the two of us live alone on a small island! "Jia Jiafeng said with a pout.
"Don't worry, brother naturally bought it too. In fact, I bought more. Including yours, I bought a total of 26 islands. Anyway, I bought a group of islands near that area!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"26 islands!" The two sisters were shocked. "Brother, how much did it cost?"
"It's not expensive. Your islands are the second and third largest islands among the 26 islands. Other than my main island, the rest of the islands are less than two square kilometers. All the islands added together are only about 31 square kilometers. The total price is less than 100 million USD! It's really too cheap! " Boss Jia said with a sigh. Jia Jiafeng and Jia Jiayue stuck out their tongues at the same time. Spending 100 million dollars in one go and still saying it was cheap? In the entire Hua Xia, only their brother had the right to say such a thing.
"Wait a minute, brother. I remember reading an article before. The Maldives has a total of less than 1,200 islands and a total area of 298 square kilometers. Doesn't that mean that you've bought over 110 square kilometers of their land?!" Jia Jiayue read more books after all. She actually knew the specific data of a small country like the Maldives.
"Yes, it's more than 110 square kilometers of land!" Boss Jia nodded.
"Damn, this country sold one-tenth of its land in one go. Isn't he afraid of being scolded to death by his own people?" Jia Jiafeng exclaimed.
"Hahaha, don't worry. Since the Maldives dared to sell it, why wouldn't I dare to buy it?" Boss Jia laughed and said, "This group of islands is located in the southernmost part of the Maldives. The 26 islands are the largest, but only one island is inhabited. The total population is less than 300, and they are all fishermen. The rest of the islands are uninhabited and have almost no commercial value. That's why the Maldives sold these islands to me without hesitation! "
"The Asian Financial Crisis is not over yet, and the economic crisis in the Maldives is getting worse. Their country already owes the World Bank hundreds of millions of dollars. If they don't have the money to repay the debt, their country will go bankrupt. Naturally, they were willing to sell it to me!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
The price of the islands in the Maldives was indeed very cheap. It was also the only time in history that one could buy permanent ownership of the islands.
Later, as the number of tourists in Hua Xia increased, the Maldives went all out to promote their vacation in Hua Xia. All kinds of videos of the sea that was bluer than the sky flooded Hua Xia. This made the economy of the Maldives soar instantly. At the peak of 2018, the entire country had a GDP of 4.9 billion USD. It was 20 times more than in 2000.
However, it was worth mentioning that the president of the Maldives was occupied by pro-Western politicians. They were really eating Hua Xia's food while cursing Hua Xia's mother.
However, Hua Xia was not very rich at the moment, so the Maldives was still poor. When Boss Jia said that he was willing to pay 100 million USD to buy these barren islands in the eyes of the locals, the Maldives naturally agreed without hesitation.
"When the time comes, spend some money to move those hundreds of people away. This island will be our territory. Everyone can have fun there!" Boss Jia laughed and said, "By the way, the two of you should quickly name your two islands. In the future, we can leave our mark on the world map."
"Really!" Jia Jiayue and Jia Jiafeng were excited at the same time and began to imagine every second. In the end, Jia Jiafeng named his island "Di Di" and Jia Jiayue followed suit and named her island "DingDing".
"Di Di and DingDing …" Boss Jia savored the two names. Although there was an indescribable sense of déjà vu, it was also in line with the aesthetic standards of female cuteness. Therefore, these two islands that were originally unknown in the world and history finally had their own names: DingDing and Di Di. What a joyous occasion!
"But brother, I found that 70% to 80% of these islands are not suitable for building houses, nor are they suitable for human habitation. Only a part of the seaside can be built. Isn't it a bit of a loss for us to buy so many islands?" Jia Jiafeng asked reluctantly.
"It's okay!" Boss Jia laughed and said, "It's indeed not suitable for now, but it's okay. In a few days, I'll buy a fleet of ships and then a few hundred abandoned ships. We'll directly reclaim the sea and build land. In ten years, we'll connect these islands together and become a big island!"
