Regardless of the fact that the fees for a profession like a lawyer are very high, we have to admit that the work efficiency is also very high.
After discussing the need to invest in a private island project and auction it, in less than two hours, as a lawyer, Anne not only got the latest information on the island that was on the market for sale, but also the auction.
All business matters have been taken care of.
Anne, who projected the obtained island information directly onto the projection screen, pointed to the island in the ultra-clear picture and said:
“Boss, this island is located in the Bay of São Miguel in Spain, close to the north coast of Ibiza. The entire island covers an area of fourteen acres and has been developed into a fully functional and well-equipped resort. There are luxury estates on the island.
Kitchen, sink, wine and wine cellar. With 300 days of sunshine per year and excellent views of the azure Mediterranean scenery, it has become a first-class luxury resort.”
"Fourteen acres? It's not as big as my winery, and construction has already been done on it. If I buy it, I have to tear it down and rebuild it. It's bad." Since he has found a source of sufficient funds, Li Anran naturally disdains this.
An island with a very small area.
"Okay, the next island is located in the inner bay of North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. It has freehold property and covers an area of 35 acres. There is currently only a road built on the island, so whatever you want to build on the island
What. It guarantees your easy access in the future.”
"In addition to beaches, dense vegetation, and anchorage protection areas, there are a large number of exotic wildlife on this island. There are many turtles, fish and birds around. By the way, if the boss is very interested in sailing,
There will definitely be unexpected surprises if you buy this place." Annie, who passed directly and landed on an island, opened the next information and introduced.
"Thirty-five acres? No, no, this area is still small. However, it is quite suitable in other aspects. In this way, this island is reserved as an alternative project." Although I am quite satisfied that the island has not been further developed.
Li Anran is still not very satisfied with the area.
"Understood, boss." Annie marked this island and then called up the next island.
"This island is completely undeveloped, with an area of about sixty square miles. Converted to acres, it's nearly forty thousand acres. And because this island used to be a volcano, there will be a lot of mountains on it."
"This island is located in the Cerralbo Strait on the Sea of Cortez off the coast of Mexico. The water here is most suitable for large game fish to survive. If the boss is willing, he can build a large number of high-rise buildings on this huge private island."
"The only disadvantage is that this island is relatively remote. Basically, there will be no neighbors for you to visit. However, the island has a typical warm Mexican climate, plenty of sunshine and perfect beaches.
And the remoteness also means that it provides complete security, because it is at least thirty miles away from the nearest land."
After listening to this introduction, Li Anran immediately became interested. Just kidding, what does 40,000 acres mean? It is almost the size of more than a thousand wineries. When converted into domestic acres, it is more than 200,000 acres.
Moreover, there are many mountains above and the location is remote. Even if the development cost is much higher, it can definitely meet your needs in terms of quality.
"This island is good, it's large enough, and it's not developed. It meets my requirements. Annie, what's the price of this island?" Li Anran, who was leaning on the boss's chair, played with a piece of money that was as moist as suet.
Jade Pendant nodded and asked.
"The listing price is US$35 million. If the boss likes it, the price still needs to be negotiated." Annie glanced at the quotation column and replied.
"The price is really not cheap." Li Anran whistled and shrugged.
"Boss, what do you mean?" Anne, who secretly slandered "You Chinese are all very rich," asked with a very professional expression on the surface.
"This island is my first choice, but I still want to check out the others and compare them." Li Anran picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and said with a smile.
"Okay, boss, let's continue."
After Annie finished speaking, she continued to project the following information. However, considering that her boss had relatively high requirements, some islands that were too small, poorly located, and had unsatisfactory topography were directly passed.
After finding five islands that met the requirements and marking them as candidates, I opened the last document.
"Tetiaroa Island is a small island group consisting of twelve small islands located forty miles north of Tahiti. The original owner was the famous movie star Marlon Brando. After his death, there is currently only his son on the island.
teihotu long term stay.”
"The environment of this island is very peaceful and beautiful. There is a tropical bird sanctuary on it, which is in a semi-developed state. There is currently a new hotel named "Brando" on the island. For some reason, it has just been listed.
sell."
"The specific price is not mentioned and needs to be discussed in person. However, the island is very large. The land area alone is indeed 1,647 square kilometers, about 400,000 acres. Therefore, the price is not expected to be low. It needs to be
Consider it carefully.”
"Four Hundred Thousand Acres?!"
Originally, Li Anran thought that the previous islands with tens of thousands of acres were pretty good, but after hearing this number, he realized that he was really looking at the sky from a well.
"Yes, four hundred thousand acres." Anne nodded and said.
After Li Anran lamented that foreign tycoons were indeed not comparable to a country man like himself, he finally decided on three candidate islands.
One is a sixty-square-mile island located on the Ceralvo Strait on the Sea of Cortez off the coast of Mexico, and the other is an island located northeast of the British Virgin Islands. And the last one is Marlon Brando
The very large tetiaroa island group that my son now owns.
As for which one to choose, Li Anran is not in a hurry to make a decision. After all, it would be child's play for such a large-scale investment not to go to the site to see it. Moreover, it has not yet been determined whether the funds raised this time can meet the requirements.
You know, so we have to wait until the money matter is settled before we say anything else.
Seeing that after finishing all these things, I even missed my lunch time. Although it is an employment relationship, as a man, if you drive away a beautiful woman like this, it is not "treacherous" enough.
Just before, I went to the supermarket for a big purchase, and there was no shortage of everything at home. So, Li Anran started cooking by himself and made a sumptuous lunch to compensate.
Unlike those who like to let foreigners eat Chinese food as soon as they arrive abroad, Li Anran did not cook Chinese dishes this time. In fact, given the eating habits of foreigners, not everyone will like Chinese food. Otherwise, those Chinese restaurants opened abroad
Restaurants will not change Chinese food beyond recognition based on local people’s dietary preferences.
Medium-rare black pepper grilled lamb chops, caviar salad, cream of mushroom soup, garlic toast, and tiramisu for dessert, no matter the type or taste, are no less than here in California.
A high-end western restaurant.
Although this lunch came a little late, the atmosphere was very good. Although Li Anran is an Oriental, his appearance is not bad, plus his figure is enough to make most men feel inferior.
He is welcomed by most girls, and Annie is no exception.
Although she always likes to have a cold face and treats her handsome male colleagues in the law firm without any pretense, as a woman, she naturally has normal psychological and physical needs. The reason why she was willing in the first place
In addition to accepting this job because of someone's extremely high remuneration, part of the reason is because someone is very pleasing to the eye.
As for Li Anran's choice of Anne as his lawyer, it was also because the other party was very pleasing to the eye. Under such circumstances, coupled with the red wine produced by the winery, the atmosphere in the dining room gradually became a bit ambiguous.
Chapter completed!
