The British Virgin Islands itself has an island selling business, but what they sell are all insignificant small islands, the largest ones are only two or three square kilometers, and the smaller ones are not even as big as a primary school playground.
It's okay to build a vacation villa on this kind of pocket island, but if you want to build a cryonics center, which also needs an airport, a dock and a secret base, then don't even think about it.
To meet Zhang Heng's requirements, the island purchased should preferably be about ten square kilometers, and at least five or six square kilometers.
The next day, Lewis Stane made several phone calls, and he didn’t know what benefits she had promised to the Governor and Chief Minister of the Virgin Islands. Within a few hours, she put down the phone and said, “Okay, you They have accepted your request and will buy the X9 uninhabited island for one billion US dollars. A client will come to sign a contract with you soon."
"Money can make people grind, and there is indeed something worth learning about capitalism." Zhang Heng silently complained a few words. He originally thought that Stannie would have to go through a lot of trouble, but he was surprised by the smoothness of the process. .
But this is also reasonable. Although the Stanislava Consortium is not as good as the top ten consortiums in the United States, it is very popular in the UK. Although the political system of the British Virgin Islands is autonomous management on the surface, it is a multi-party governance system after all. The governor and the chief minister are the highest-power officials. The Governor is elected by the British government and appointed by the Queen. The British are also responsible for the defense and foreign affairs of the islands. To put it simply, the British Virgin Islands basically have no sovereignty anymore.
Therefore, Stannie took action personally and quickly took care of everything.
But about two hours later, a staid old man walked into the villa with three potbellied officials. When Zhang Heng arrived at the conference hall of the villa, everyone was already sitting on chairs waiting for him.
Stannie followed him in, and everyone stood up politely. One can imagine the status of the Stannie family in the UK. Although their reputation is not as good as that of the royal family, their actual power has long exceeded that of the royal family.
"Your Excellency Stannie, we have brought a contract. All we need is Stephen Zhang's signature to complete the deal." The old-fashioned old man said in a hoarse voice.
Stephen Zhang is the name on Zhang Heng's British ID card. For convenience, Zhang Heng has identity documents from 80% of the countries in the world, and there is corresponding information in the national files, all of which were obtained by Yuehua himself. Information forged by hacking into computers in various countries.
Of course, forgery to this extent can no longer be called forgery. There is no standard for defining authenticity and authenticity, and there is no evidence to prove that Zhang Heng is not British.
"It's time to start." Stannie sat in the impartial seat aside, while Zhang Heng sat opposite a few people, separated by the conference table.
"Dear Mr. Stephen Zhang, you are opposite Mr. John Severn, Ambassador of the British Virgin Islands, and his team. Before leaving, the Governor of the British Virgin Islands and the Executive Minister have fully appointed three people to serve as this mission. Negotiators, you don’t have to worry about their identities,” the old-fashioned old man said seriously.
Zhang Heng nodded, put on the white gloves and gold-rimmed glasses prepared on the table, then took the contract from the other party and flipped through the pages.
Ordinary people may not be able to understand these if they have not studied law, but with Zhang Heng's brain power, he just glanced at these documents casually, and all the contents were directly reflected in the cerebral cortex like a camera, and then transmitted at high speed. The nerve bundles are classified and stored and viewed. It is only the time between turning pages. All the information on the previous page has been quickly digested by him, and he can even recite it backwards!
However, everyone thought that Zhang Heng was just flipping through it casually, or at most he was flipping through it more carefully. However, in about two minutes, Zhang Heng had already finished flipping through it from beginning to end.
"So, are you satisfied with this contract?" John Severn, the leader, had a kind smile on his face. If you didn't look at his sinister appearance, he looked like a British gentleman, but his With his shiny face, no matter how you look at him, he looks like a cunning person.
"Mr. Seven, I think you have made a mistake." Zhang Heng crossed his hands in front of his eyes and his face darkened, "What I want is the permanent property rights, not the one-hundred-year operating rights, otherwise I will pay a sky-high price of one billion, you guys Do you think I am stupid and have too much money?”
"One billion?" Seven was stunned and subconsciously looked at Stannie aside.
"Ahem..." Stannie coughed twice in embarrassment, "I'm very sorry, I remembered it wrong. Mr. Zhang's price was one billion, not 100 million."
Zhang Heng's face twitched, this Stannie actually wanted to take 90% of the kickback? He suddenly had the urge to kill Stannie with one shot.
Everyone present looked strange, and Severn also hesitated, "Mr. Zhang, I admit that this is a price that is difficult to refuse, but if we want to sell the freehold, I still need to discuss it with the Governor."
"No problem." Zhang Heng nodded, "Please do it."
Immediately, Severn and his team left the conference room and ran outside to make calls.
But Stannie said seriously, "Zhang, do you have to have permanent property rights?"
"Yes, it must be freehold, otherwise I would rather not buy it."
"Then can you tell me the reason for buying the island?" Stannie looked at Zhang Heng solemnly, "I can help you, but I must know the reason for buying the island."
If Zhang Heng buys the island and does something that harms the interests of England, then as the guarantor, the Stannie family will also be hit by the country, and may even be completely unable to recover. There is no room for Stannie to be careless.
Zhang Heng showed a meaningful look, "Don't worry, I won't do anything detrimental to the UK. I just want to buy an island and build a cryonics center."
"I see. I originally thought it was too unfair to our European countries that you established the cryonics center in India." Stannie said simply, "That would be easy to say, but I also need 200 ml of new genes. The medicine is used as payment, not including the 100 ml originally promised. You know, my rebate is gone. "
"No problem!" Zhang Heng nodded decisively.
Stannie nodded, turned and walked out of the conference room. About ten minutes later, several people came back together, and the negotiation officially continued.
"Mr. Zhang, I have already discussed it with the Governor. If you can really donate one billion US dollars to our archipelago, we can sell you the permanent property rights of the X9 island in the northeast." Saiwen solemnly said, British Virgin The total population is only 20,000. Even if the billion is divided equally, each person can get 50,000 US dollars, which is a huge sum of money.
"Of course." Zhang Heng took the revised contract and looked through it again. The new contract has fully granted Zhang Heng the permanent property rights. In other words, after signing this contract, legally speaking, X9 has completely belonged to Although Stephen Zhang is still under the jurisdiction of the British Virgin, no one has the right to interfere with anything Zhang Heng does on the island.
Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction and shook hands politely. Then everyone had lunch at Stanley's invitation. After the other party left, Zhang Heng said to Stanley, "Stanney, thank you very much for your help." It’s a big favor for me.”
"Everyone takes what they need." Stannie smiled charmingly, "I admit that you are a very charming gentleman. If possible, can you invite a beautiful lady to dinner tonight?"
"I still have something to do, see you next time." Zhang Heng waved his hand quickly.
Stannie was about to say something else, but suddenly her vision blurred. When she saw everything in front of her clearly again, Zhang Heng's figure had completely disappeared from the room.
