"Reclamation!! How much money is that going to cost? " The sisters were shocked. When they were doing activities in Hong Kong, they knew that Hong Kong had always been reclaiming land from the sea. However, there were a lot of objections in Hong Kong, and it was controversial.
Most importantly, they heard that the cost of reclamation was very high. Did the Daqian have so much money to reclaim all these islands?
"Not much!" Boss Jia laughed, "These islands are actually very close to each other, and they themselves are the protruding parts of an entire reef. It's like a large mountain. Most of the mountain is submerged by the sea, and only a small part of the mountain is above the water surface, and it becomes these 26 islands. "
"Therefore, the seawater under the 26 islands is not deep. It's relatively easy to fill them up. What's more, there are various kinds of soil at the bottom of the sea nearby. We only need to construct an outline with reinforced concrete and use a huge sunken ship as the skeleton. After that, we'll fill it up with sand from the bottom of the sea nearby. I estimate that it will only take 10 years at a cost of more than 10 billion US dollars to complete the entire project and turn these islands into a large medium-sized island with an area of more than 200 square kilometers!" Boss Jia said lightly.
"Ten billion USD!" When the sisters heard their brother's words, their scalps went numb. How much money did their brother have to spend ten billion USD to reclaim land from the sea?
"Brother, did you lose your mind? You spent ten billion USD just to reclaim an island. You can't waste money like that!" Jia Jiayue complained.
"Lose money? How did I lose money? " Hearing that, Boss Jia was stunned for a moment. Then, he burst into laughter and said, "Did you read the reports of those stupid media outside? It's okay if others believe it, but they actually deceived you two!"
"To tell you the truth, not only did I not lose money, but I also earned ten billion USD. I just used it all to reclaim land. This big island is like a free gift!"
"Free gift?" The two sisters were stunned. Then, Boss Jia began to explain to his two sisters. It turned out that Boss Jia had indeed received tens of billions of USD in just a week. And all of this money was given to Boss Jia by the franchisees of the steam gaming store!
After all, if the Daqian wanted to legally break out of the steam game store contract, they had no other choice but to pay. Otherwise, if the Daqian took the contract to court, they would definitely lose everything. There was no chance of winning!
In addition, the Crate Game offered to lend them money to get out of the steam system. In order to cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible, the franchisees all rushed to pay up.
Moreover, there were indeed more than 8,000 franchisees that had already entered the exit process.
In other words, within the next week, Boss Jia would be able to earn more than 10 billion USD. That was simply too good to be true.
After all, Boss Jia only earned about 10 billion USD a year by running the steam game store diligently. Now, he had earned two years' worth of income in two weeks. It would be strange if Boss Jia was not happy!
"But Brother, although you have made a lot of money, the steam game store is a profitable business. If you really give it to Microsoft, we will suffer huge losses." Jia Jiafeng asked worriedly.
"Where do you think your brother's income of more than 20 billion USD came from?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"Didn't you say it was from the franchisees?" Jia Jiafeng asked.
"Bullshit! Those franchisees will not be willing to spend so much money. Microsoft is the one who paid for them!" Boss Jia licked his lips. "If Microsoft wants to earn my money, it will depend on how much money they have …"
"I don't know what you are talking about. All of you are scheming against each other. It's not as simple as me making movies!" Jia Jiafeng said with disdain. At this time, Jia Jiayue, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly spoke. "Brother, have you thought of a problem with your island?"
"What problem?"
"Once we reclaim the land, our island will be the biggest island in the Maldives. It might even be bigger than the entire Maldives. What if the Maldivians go back on their words and chase us out?" Jia Jiayue asked worriedly.
"Oh, don't worry. You don't have to worry about this problem!" Boss Jia patted his sister's head and said with a smile, "They won't do such a thing. I promise!"
"What promise?"
"Your brother had spent money recently to acquire the entire Blackwater company!" Boss Jia narrowed his eyes and said.

As more and more franchisees abandoned Steam and switched to the arcade game, Microsoft's share prices kept rising. On the fourth day, Microsoft's market value returned to 200 billion USD.
On the fifth day, a shocking news broke out on Nasdaq. America First Foundation is acquiring Microsoft shares.
Microsoft's share prices had plummeted because America First Foundation dumped their shares. Microsoft's market value fell from 200 billion USD to its current level. But America First Foundation had made more than 5 billion USD in profits. This is one of the America First Foundation's achievements, and many America First Foundation admirers are chasing after them.
Many people felt that Microsoft will not recover from this setback and will become a junk stock.
But no one expected America First Foundation to turn back and start to acquire Microsoft shares secretly.
It could be seen that the America First Foundation also felt that this kind of behavior was very embarrassing, so they used some very secret accounts to carry out the acquisition.
But unexpectedly, these accounts were exposed and published on the media. Instantly, everyone in the United States knew about the America First Foundation.
"United States First Foundation Also Turning Back! Microsoft's Value Must Be Reevaluated!" News headlines like this are circulating crazily on the media.
Many United States people mocked America First Foundation's invincible reputation and felt America First Foundation is nothing more than this. They started to go crazy over Microsoft shares.
Although America First Foundation had turned back and lost their invincible reputation, America First Foundation did not suffer any losses. They had only re-entered Microsoft's market.
Even the US First Foundation does not care about its reputation and wants to go back to Microsoft. That means Microsoft's growth will be even more terrifying this time.
The entire market is in an uproar.
