Chapter 866 865. Contrast (45)

Seeing Li Du, Steve waved enthusiastically, as if seeing a comrade in arms.

Li Du hugged him and said with a smile: "You look good and are in good condition, shall we continue mining in the future?"

Steve laughed loudly: "Of course, I'd be happy to form a team with you. Come on, I found some information for you to look at, and I also contacted two real estate experts for you."

With a wide network of contacts and great energy, it is convenient to do things.

Steve is warm, which may be the reason why Li Du saved him twice. In addition, the two of them were more tempered, so he didn't say anything to Li Du.

Knowing that Ivana came to Sydney this time to prepare for reconstructive skin grafting and plastic surgery, he immediately called Elson over and asked him to help contact top experts for her consultation.

Li Du said that they had already found experts, and Steve said: "Then find a few more experts and listen to their opinions."

The two real estate experts he sought were named Bull Stewart and Theodore Tony. Among them, Bull was a senior real estate agent of Red Oak, the largest real estate transaction company in Australia, and Tony was a member of the Australian National Land Assets Strategy Center. supervisor.

Li Du communicated with them and learned more about the details of buying and selling Shaou Island.

In Australia, the process of buying and selling islands is very long, sometimes as long as a year, because as Li Du learned before, it involves the country's land, environmental protection, national defense and other policies.

Australia has many restrictions on the use of islands. For example, some islands can only have the right to use for 50 years, and some islands are bounded by the highest point of high tide. The large beaches below the water level can only belong to the government.

Tony told Li Du at the beginning that if he wanted to buy an island just because of the scenery and vacation, he suggested that he go to Canada.

Canada currently has the largest private island supply market in the world. It has more than 100 inland lakes and stretching coastlines, and a large number of small islands are placed on the shelves.

It is impossible for Li Du to go to Canada to buy islands, but he did not say so, but he said that he was interested in the black gold abalone resources around Shaou Island and wanted to buy and slowly collect black gold abalone.

Seeing this, Tony and the two stopped talking and concentrated on helping him research Shagull Island.

They studied the island on a satellite map and believed that the government would be willing to sell the island if it did not involve the protection of precious wildlife and national defense.

But because of the large area of ​​the island, the price will not be low. The two estimated that the value of the island should go above 50 million Australian dollars.

After hearing the quotation, Li Du heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Fifty million is not too high, I think I can accept it. To buy an island in Australia, can I get a loan from the bank?"

Bull and Tony looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.

"Mr. Li, this is different from buying a land building. It is very difficult to get a bank loan because most of them do not have ownership and the bank is unwilling to approve the loan. We recommend that you prepare a large amount of cash."

If he could not get a loan, Li Du would be in a difficult situation. He had to transfer another 30 to 40 million Australian dollars in a short period of time. After all, buying a small island required paying taxes to the state capital and the National Taxation Bureau, which was very heavy.

The problem is not only this, Bull told him that buying an island is expensive, and raising an island is even more expensive!

Buying an island is only the beginning of the cost budget, and the construction of facilities such as catering supply and tourist accommodation on the private island is the bigger expenditure.

For small islands like Shagull Island, because the island has not yet been developed, it will cost millions of Australian dollars to build waste disposal systems, water supply systems and power generation systems.

Australia attaches great importance to environmental protection and must not pollute the environment during the development and construction process, which requires a budget of several million Australian dollars.

Also, the island is far away from the land, so he has to build a deep-water pier, he has a helicopter, and he has to build a private airport. These are not small expenses.

In the end, Tony concluded: "It's not difficult to buy an island, but how to develop an island is the key point. Mr. Li, to make the island liveable, there must be enough living facilities. You have to solve the traffic problem, solve the power and communication equipment, and solve the problem. There are problems with drinking water and medical treatment.”

Bull added: "In addition, Mr. Li, it is not easy to start construction on the island. Take the construction of a house as an example, its cost will be 1.5 times higher than the equivalent construction on land, because everything from materials to workers must be transported by boat. to the island..."

Li Du has thought about these problems, and it is indeed a headache, but he is confident to solve them.

"At the end of the day, these problems can be boiled down to one word, money," he asked. "Is it? As long as you have money, these are not problems."

Bull nodded and said, "Yes, that's why the area of ​​Turtle Island is less than 10 hectares but more than 5 million. Many living facilities on the island are complete."

Hans reminded Li Du: "Man, if you don't forget it, you have to know that there is another biggest problem on Shaou Island, and that is the countless snakes!"

Yes, if you live on the island, you have to find a way to drive away the snakes, otherwise there may be a poisonous snake at any time, and no one can live there.

Li Du nodded to express his understanding. He thought about it all night, and told Bull and Tony the next day that he was willing to hire them as the think tank for his purchase of Seagull Island.

The island didn't even have a name yet, and buying it would be a protracted battle, and he'd need someone in the know to help.

The two readily agreed that there were many problems in purchasing the island, but they hoped that Li Du would solve these problems, because the commission for helping to buy the island was considerable, with 2% commission for each person.

That is to say, if the island is worth 50 million yuan, each person will have 1 million yuan just by extracting it!

Li Du was not needed for the initial work, and the two had to find a way to obtain permission from the state government and various departments to put Shagull Island on the shelves.

Li Du participated in the preparations for Ivana's surgery, and Elson was very agile. He made an appointment for consultation with experts that night, all of whom were top skin experts in Australia.

It may be that the ultraviolet rays in Australia are strong, and the incidence of skin diseases here is among the highest in the world, so it has the world's top skin disease treatment experts.

The experts Elson contacted came from Greenslopes Hospital and St. George's Hospital, the two largest public hospitals in Australia with the strongest medical strength.

For the first time, Li Du saw Ivana's appearance.

No wonder the little girl had been wearing a veil all the time. Her appearance was terribly destroyed. Her entire face was almost melted. There were only two large and one small slits left for the eyes, half of the nose remained, a large piece of hair fell off, and the ears melted. Turned into a meat ball, the skin on his body is even more unbearable to see...

What Li Du was looking at was a photo, and next to it was a blond-haired blue-eyed little girl with pure eyes and a naive look. This is what the little girl used to look like.

Seeing the photo, he looked at Brother Wolf, who was expressionless, but said repeatedly: "I will definitely cure Ivana, I will definitely be able to!"
