Hexagonal God

Chapter 487 Buying an Island

Hearing the mayor's words, Su Mo was stunned for a moment: "Can private individuals in our country purchase islands?"

The mayor smiled and said, "According to our laws, individuals cannot own land, but they can obtain the right to use the land through legal means. As long as we abide by the law, you can still own an island."

Su Mo was very tempted by the mayor's proposal.

This is Sanya. The islands under their jurisdiction can only be found to the south, and the climate is basically tropical.

It would be a very enjoyable experience to own a tropical island and take everyone there for vacation.

Stroll along the beach, light a bonfire, eat some seafood around the bonfire, go swimming in the sea, dive, catch fish and shrimps, and under the starry sky, the beach, the sea, and the coconut breeze all belong to you, and with beautiful women by your side, that's what life is all about.

Su Mo never forgot his original intention. In addition to strengthening the country and enriching the people, he also did business to better enjoy life.

He never wanted to be a slave to money, and he would never devote himself to his career.

Now that we have such a good opportunity, it would be a pity to let it go.

The mayor of Sanya said this, obviously wanting to give himself some benefits.

“What is the purchasing process?”

The mayor cleared his throat. "This involves several steps. The first is to identify the target island. This is quite simple. Currently, our city has some uninhabited islands under its jurisdiction. I'll have our staff introduce them to you later. The government can auction these islands for you, and you can even be the only client."

"Then we'll confirm the method of sale. Whether it's for tourism development or a resort, it's up to you to decide."

"Then it's easy. Sign the contract, pay the deposit, and the government will take care of the rest. To handle the certificate procedures, you just need to provide some information, and you can get the real estate certificate quickly."

"Generally speaking, there are some detailed requirements, such as medical care. A modern hospital must be accessible within 90 minutes by boat or plane. The island must be free of poisonous insects, wild animals, and plants harmful to humans. Furthermore, the island must have complete transportation facilities, such as an airport, a dock, and a ring road."

"The islands also need to have internet access, a complete water and electricity supply, and a sewage treatment system."

"That's basically it. The other requirements are that the islands can't be volcanic, can't have hurricanes or tsunamis year-round, and that their relations with neighboring countries are stable. These things are basically not involved because our target islands already meet these conditions."

After listening to the mayor, Su Mo had a general idea.

Although the mayor's words sound simple, the financial investment involved is definitely not small.

Buying the island itself doesn't cost much, but building and maintaining the arena, docks, roads, hotels, etc. will cost a lot of money.

There are also water supply, electricity supply, sewage system, etc., each of which costs a considerable amount.

Su Mo was already short of money, but that didn't stop him from taking the island first.

Now that we have the land, we can build however we want when we have money.

"Mr. Mayor, what you said is very tempting. Let's take a look at the island."

The mayor immediately asked someone to bring Su Mo the map of the islands under Sanya's jurisdiction.

SY City has a coastline of more than 260 kilometers and has a total of 66 islands under its jurisdiction.

These include the familiar Wuzhizhou Island, Xi Island, Dongmaozhou Island, etc.

Most of the remaining islands are uninhabited, some of which are bedrock islands, some are accumulation islands, and some are coral islands.

The main body of the bedrock island is the raised part of the continental plate extending into the ocean, and the main body is soil and rock. This type of island is the best and most stable.

An accumulation island is an island formed by sediment movement or erosion, usually formed at the mouth of a river.

There are also coral islands, which are mainly formed by coral reefs and have relatively soft geology. If such islands are to be inhabited for a long time, they basically require filling operations.

Since Su Mo wanted to buy something, he had to buy the best. He looked at several bedrock islands and immediately locked onto one.

This bedrock island is located southeast of Sanya, covers an area of ​​about one square kilometer, and is about 150 nautical miles away from Sanya.

Because it is relatively far away and falls within the scope of my country's territorial waters, its strategic location is not as important as Yongxing and Yongshu, so it has not been developed and has not even been named.

But fortunately, the place is big enough. As a private island, it has everything you need.

"Mr. Mayor, is this island for sale?"

"Sure. Since we've given it to Chairman Su, it's all for sale. Since you've also started a travel company, you can buy it under the name of tourism development. We'll go through the formalities and it'll be ready in a few days."

"What about the price?"

"Well, 500 million, that's a figure we can explain to the country. We're not selling off state-owned assets."

"Okay, this one then."

Su Mo is all about efficiency when doing things, so it's okay to get the 500 million first.

"Chairman Su, discussing things with you gives me the illusion that I'm not very useful. The lack of lengthy negotiations and back-and-forth makes me feel uncomfortable!"

The mayor laughed happily. It was really comfortable to interact with Su Mo.

Su Mo also smiled: "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Mayor to help me contact the engineers for the island's infrastructure. After all, I'm not very familiar with the water, electricity, network, yacht docks, and ring road construction here." "Don't worry, as long as Chairman Su has the money, I will help you contact these people. The government is only responsible for introductions and will not participate in management or charge agency fees!"

The mayor is quite humorous and is taking the initiative to distance himself from some things.

Things were handled very quickly.

Su Mo stayed in Sanya for a few more days, and during these days he took care of various related matters.

First we went to Wuzhishan City and met up with the people from Sutang Drinking Water Company.

The provincial government's document has been sent to Wuzhishan City. The municipal party committee will fully cooperate with the document on the construction of Sutang drinking water plant here.

Su Mo bought a water resource synchronization scroll, chose a location to build a factory upstream of the Wanquan River, and then used the scroll.

After that, Su Mo didn't care about the start of work, recruitment of employees, construction of production lines, water purification equipment, etc.

Now Su Tang drinking water has grown in scale and has a dedicated technical team, so it is already familiar with doing these things.

Spending three hundred million had no impact on Su Mo. He could automatically recover 120 million in three days.

After returning from Wuzhi Mountain, I went back to Sanya to handle company matters.

With the green light from the government, five days later, the travel company was established, the hotel arrangements were straightened out, and even the purchase of the island was completed.

In the name of Su Tang Tourism Development Company, it participated in the government bidding and bought this uninhabited island for 500 million yuan.

It's not just Su Mo's family that participated in the bidding, that would not be in accordance with the procedure, but the rest of the participants were just going through the motions.

Although five hundred million doesn't sound expensive for such an island, no one really wants it.

Many people can come up with 500 million yuan, but the subsequent construction and maintenance are not something that ordinary people can afford.

Only someone like Su Mo, who has too much money to spend, would be in the mood to build an island for fun.

Now that he had the island, he couldn't just let it lie there abandoned. Su Mo specially took a helicopter provided by Sanya to the island.

Lin Shiyun came here with Su Mo. When they arrived on the island, they both felt relaxed and happy.

The island has blue sea and blue sky, silvery white sand beach, dense coconut trees and even a small lake.

Lin Shiyun excitedly let go of her reserve and ran barefoot on the beach.

Su Mo put his hands in his pockets and followed slowly behind.

Under the shimmering sea surface, a group of dolphins suddenly jumped out of the water, making "chirp" sounds.

Lin Shiyun ran a lap on the beach and her face was red when she came back.

"Su Mo! I feel like I'm dreaming. Does this place really belong to you?"

Su Mo pinched her oval face and said, "It doesn't belong to me, it belongs to us."

Lin Shiyun immediately revealed a huge smile: "It doesn't belong to me, it's your asset."

Su Mo snorted: "Do you think you can get away? You owe me so much money, you will have to pay it back in this life."

Lin Shiyun looked at Su Mo with her big eyes and asked an important question.

"Su Mo, I can stay by your side for the rest of my life, but how are you going to arrange for me?"

Su Mo's expression also became serious. Lin Shiyun had been very happy in Hainan these days, but behind the happiness, there was also a lot of pressure.

Su Mo will leave a sum of money to invest in the construction of this island, and then return to the mainland. Lin Shiyun will also go back to school.

The things that need to be faced at that time will not disappear. Although Lin Daiyu is smart and wise, she has no way to deal with this matter.

Tang Mei was like a mountain, standing in her way and even in front of everyone else in the dormitory.

Why did Luo Qun participate in a music talent show? Why did she go to a stranger?
Isn't it because you feel that your feelings will not blossom and bear fruit here, and it is an escapist mentality?

However, her little tricks were ineffective in front of Su Mo, and she still couldn't escape. Now she was too weak to struggle and could only watch what Su Mo would do.

Su Mo looked at Lin Shiyun's expectant eyes, put his arms around her slender waist, and spoke softly.

"Shishi, I have a common problem with many men. I'm greedy. I want to keep everything I consider important and beautiful by my side. In my vocabulary, there's no such thing as letting go."

"If you are willing to trust me, just give me some time. I won't let you down."

Lin Shiyun suddenly glared at him resentfully: "Besides Tang Mei and me, who else?"

Su Mo, who was speaking fluently just now, suddenly got stuck.

“Not many left.”
