The small town of Pissurie did not disappoint Yang Jing and Gege.
This is a small town that is almost a paradise on earth, located between two hills about 100 meters above sea level. The Saint-Pierre River passes through the valley between the two hills, and finally washes out a small alluvial plain more than 800 meters long and 500 meters wide at its outlet near the Mediterranean Sea. The town of Pissouri is located on this small alluvial plain.
The town is surrounded by mountains on the east and west sides, and connected to the outside world by a 200-meter-wide valley to the north. In this valley there is not only the Saint-Pierre River, but also a road leading to the outside world. To the south of the town is the vast and boundless Mediterranean Sea.
When Yang Jing arrived at the town, he realized that although the town was said to have about a thousand people, the actual permanent population was only about four hundred, and the rest were rich people.
The houses in the town are very unique, and the biggest feature is that almost every house has a small swimming pool. This is really hard to see in other places, and it also shows the wealth of the residents in this town.
However, walking on the quiet paths of the town, Yang Jing discovered that this town was truly extraordinary. Walking along the way, he saw no less than a hundred luxurious holiday villas. Any one of these villas would be worth millions of dollars.
However, there is also a very strange phenomenon here, that is, many luxury holiday villas have "For Sale" signs hanging on the doors.
"What's going on? Why are so many villas for sale?" Yang Jing asked Lin Dan beside him.
"Well, isn't this all caused by the Greek debt crisis? Most people in South Cyprus are Greek. Although it has nothing to do with Greece now, you must know the impact of the Greek debt crisis. Although Cyprus is a developed country, it is also a southern European country after all, so it was greatly affected by the Greek debt crisis in the past few years. Moreover, Cyprus has gradually become the first choice for many wealthy immigrants in the world. It is very simple for these billionaires to immigrate to Cyprus. They only need to spend more than 1.1 million Cypriot pounds, which is about 2.4 million US dollars, to buy a property here to obtain citizenship, and then they can get an EU passport after half a year. Just like the town of Pissouri, it is actually an immigrant town. 60% of the villas here are purchased by immigrants."
"In the past two years, the consequences of the Greek debt crisis in Cyprus have gradually become apparent, so some wealthy people are preparing to sell their properties. Moreover, those who immigrate to Cyprus by purchasing a house only need to keep one property worth more than 300,000 euros after three years, and the rest can be sold. For villas like these, it is good enough for those wealthy people to live here for half a month a year, so under the current situation, most of the wealthy people who immigrated here have started to sell their properties. This is the situation in Pissouri now."
Gege laughed and said, "Then the Cypriot authorities are shooting themselves in the foot. Are they just playing house? Buying a house with money and selling it three years later is not good for the economy of southern Cyprus. If a large number of people sell their houses at the same time, it will easily trigger a real estate crisis in southern Cyprus."
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. The current economic pillars of Nansai are financial services, banking and tourism. Real estate does not account for a large proportion of Nansai's economy. Moreover, there are many buyers for these villas, such as us..."
Gege covered her mouth and laughed.
Lin Dan looked like he was completely defeated.
Yang Jing asked: "What are the prices of these houses?"
Lin Dan said, "Brother Yang, you just said that you are the ones who take over. Cyprus is very attractive to wealthy people from abroad, especially wealthy immigrants from China and Russia, so these houses are not difficult to sell. In terms of price, it is difficult to find a bargain. These villas are worth more than 2.4 million US dollars. As long as you buy such a villa, you can immediately obtain Cypriot citizenship."
Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something when the princess next to him pointed at a three-story villa in surprise and said, "My God, this villa is so beautiful."
Yang Jing looked in the direction that Gege pointed, and sure enough, about fifty or sixty meters to his left, there was a separate villa, the area of which was several times larger than the other villas. Because the altitude of this villa was much lower than where Yang Jing and his companions were standing, they could vaguely see the general situation of the villa through the lush tree canopies.
This villa covers a really large area. Most of the other villas in the town cover an area of about 600 to 700 square meters, while this villa covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters. Its length alone is roughly estimated to be more than 60 meters.
In addition, there is a huge swimming pool in the courtyard of this villa. The swimming pools in other holiday villas are about 20 to 30 meters long, while this irregular swimming pool is more than 50 meters long and 30 meters wide at its widest point.
Because of Cyprus's terrain and the fact that the best plains in the north are controlled by the Turkish people, there are very few places suitable for building towns within the area controlled by Southern Cyprus, which also leads to very high land prices in Southern Cyprus' towns.
Just like the small town of Pissouri, it is just an alluvial plain at the mouth of a river, and its area is pitifully small. However, even such a flat small place was utilized by the people of Nansery and built into such a small town.
Similarly, in this small town, villas worth millions of dollars can be seen everywhere, but the area occupied by these villas is not very large, because it can’t be said that every inch of land here is worth a lot of money, but it’s probably not that bad.
