Chapter 6763: No Tax
Buy it!
As long as the Falkland Islands are bought, and Lin Feng's title of Prince of Falkland is added, then Lin Feng can have the final say on everything on this island. Then no matter what Lin Feng does, the British will not say anything.
As for how much money it costs to buy the Falkland Islands?
The Falkland Islands, also known as the Malvinas Islands, are an archipelago located on the Patagonian continental shelf in the South Atlantic. The main island is located about 500 kilometers east of the southern coast of Patagonia in South America, at about 52° south latitude. The entire archipelago includes Soledad Island, Greater Malvina Island and 776 small islands, with a total area of 12,200 square kilometers. The Falkland Islands are a British overseas territory with internal autonomy, and the United Kingdom is responsible for its defense and foreign affairs. The capital of the archipelago is Stanley, located on Soledad Island. The island is very large, but there are only 2,932 people on the island in total! The most important source of income is the 700,000 sheep grazing on the island's pastures. This is the most important source of income on the island, with an annual GDP of 165 million US dollars. Apart from that, there is nothing else. The only thing that is a little famous is the stamps issued on the island. Because of its novel and unique design, it is quite popular in the stamp circle.
How much does it cost to buy such an island of 12,200 square kilometers? If it is placed in a city like the imperial capital, Shanghai, with an average land price of 20,000 yuan per square meter in Shanghai, then an island of 12,200 square kilometers will cost about 2440 billion yuan.
(Shanghai has 6,340 square kilometers. Calculated by land price, Shanghai is worth about 126.8 billion yuan. Of course, this is just the land price. If you add the properties on the ground, it is estimated that two zeros will be added to the back. Of course, the number in front will be turned up!)
But this is the Falkland Islands, which is remote and uninhabited. Moreover, the Falkland Islands are composed of more than 200 islands of various sizes. In addition, Argentina has blocked its shipping routes, so it can only be transported by plane. All materials come from aircraft transportation.
In this case, the value of this island is extremely limited.
At most, Lin Feng’s expenditure for buying the entire Falkland Island will not exceed 6 billion US dollars! This doesn't sound like a big number. After all, it costs tens of billions of dollars to acquire a company casually. This is an island of 12,200 square kilometers.
This sounds like a good deal. But in reality, no one is willing to buy it. Because, why do you buy it back? What's the use of buying these islands? Many islands are not habitable and do not produce any resources. They can only be used as part of the island scenery.
Why buy it!
Of course, Lin Feng is rich! Gordon Brown has been instigating Lin Feng to buy the Falkland Islands to make his prince title more worthy of the name.
After all, most of the prince titles in the UK are now just for show. Those so-called fiefdoms are just symbolic. In fact, they have nothing to do with you at all. There is no way, you can't let all the people in a country pay taxes to you alone. This was possible in the past, but not now.
If you still want to do this now, you have to rebel.
But Lin Feng can do it. As long as Lin Feng is willing to buy the Falkland Islands, Gordon Brown can pat his chest and guarantee that there will be absolutely no problems in the middle. As long as Lin Feng wants to buy, he will definitely buy it. Including Stanley, the only town on the Falkland Islands, it can be sold to Lin Feng in its entirety.
This is not a problem at all.
For those British residents living in the Falkland Islands, they live here because their elders colonized here. They are not willing to live here subjectively. After all, nothing is convenient here. But you say, let them go back to their country to live.
May I ask, how do they make a living? This does not mean that you can go back to your country. If you go back, you can't go on relief. Even if you go on relief, where will you live? As for selling the property here and living in the UK.
That is even more impossible. The house prices in the UK are too expensive, and here, they are too cheap. It is just like the gap between the house prices in China's third-tier cities and first-tier cities.
You say, how can the people here go back to their country.
But if Lin Feng is willing to buy it and pay a high price, I believe everyone is willing to sell it to Lin Feng. At that time, whether they return to their country or not, the lives of these residents will be improved. At that time, no one will oppose Lin Feng, the Prince of Falkland.
"I can consider this!" Lin Feng said thoughtfully.
"Prince of Falkland, since you are a prince, this territory is your fiefdom, so once you buy it, you will automatically obtain permanent ownership, and unlike ordinary land, you don't need to pay land income tax every year!" In order to completely solve the problem of the Falkland Islands, Gordon Brown spared no effort to incite Lin Feng to buy the Falkland Islands, "In other words, you only need to pay the land purchase tax once, and then it will belong to your private territory. Of course, once commercial activities are carried out on the territory, they should be paid according to the law."
Prime Minister Brown was interrupted by Lin Feng before he spoke.
"I can accept the one-time payment of taxes. I won't accept the subsequent ones. No, I will never buy such a broken place!" Lin Feng said coldly, "The annual GDP output value is only 165 million US dollars! Such a small amount of money is really not enough to fill the gaps in my teeth!"
Gordon Brown looked embarrassed.
"Although you are a prince and you bought your fiefdom, it is inappropriate not to pay taxes! It is not allowed by national law!" Gordon Brown had to explain.
"You can pay taxes, but according to last year's taxes. In the future, I will only pay this much every year. I won't buy it if it's one cent more!" Lin Feng said forcefully.
Regarding the Falkland Islands, Lin Feng has a plan in mind, and he can still develop it. But if you want Lin Feng to pay taxes, I won't agree. At most, I will pay according to last year's taxes. Otherwise, Lin Feng is not a sucker. Buying such a broken piece of land, I have worked hard to develop it, and ended up making wedding clothes for others. Lin Feng doesn't want to do this.
Especially, Lin Feng now has Somalia. In Somalia, Lin Feng can do whatever he wants. For example, a zero-tax country, Lin Feng is going to build Somalia into a zero-tariff country, so that countries all over the world can come to set up companies to attract companies from all over the world to come to legally avoid taxes!
So, if the Falkland Islands want to do this, Lin Feng doesn't need it. Lin Feng has other plans. But there can be no taxes!
"That's fine! As long as you are willing to buy, we don't care about the rest. Of course, the Falkland Islands must belong to the United Kingdom!" Gordon Brown said.
Lin Feng nodded. This was no problem for Lin Feng. After all, it was his own fiefdom, and he had the final say in everything, so it didn't matter.
As for why Lin Feng was suddenly so interested in the Falkland Islands? It was simple, this was South America! A country that Lin Feng had never touched!
