Chapter 416: Plan to Purchase an Island
After coming to Los Angeles, Lin Siqiao has been thinking about one thing, which is how to make the most of the funds in his hands.
The initial idea must have been to purchase shops and land, but when Lin Siqiao learned about California's existing property tax policy, he gave up this idea.
It’s not that you can’t make money after buying it, it’s just that the profit won’t be that much.
After hearing what Dilar said, Lin Siqiao suddenly had another idea.
Coming from the future, she naturally knew that since the early 1990s, island vacations have become the most popular form of travel in the world.
Especially Hawaii, a place with a suitable climate and spring-like weather all year round, is the first choice for many wealthy and middle-class families.
Since you have to invest anyway, you might as well buy a few more now.
If you can't be a landlady, being an island lady is also good.
With a plan in mind, Lin Siqiao suddenly felt that her waist and legs were no longer sore. In short, she was full of anticipation for the upcoming trip.
A few hours later, Dilar's private plane arrived at Honolulu International Airport on Oahu Island.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Considering the strong winds and waves on the sea at night, they would rest here for one night and then take a regional plane to Dilar's private island early tomorrow morning.
The hotel was booked in advance by housekeeper Amanda long before we set off.
The three-story super-large villa faces the sea, and in front of it is a silver-white beach that looks like a jade belt.
Lin Siqiao's suite is on the second floor. As soon as the door opens, there is an extra-large round bathtub facing you.
Looking at the seasonal fruits and red wine on the table and the big heart made of various flowers on the bed, Lin Siqiao suddenly felt like she was on a honeymoon.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was the voice of housekeeper Amanda.
She came here to give Lin Siqiao some things she would need for her trip to the island tomorrow.
The island had just been purchased, so there was no problem going on vacation there, but the supplies on the island were not very abundant and the conditions were rather simple, so they had to prepare some things in advance and bring them with them.
"Miss Siqiao, please check if there is anything missing. If there is anything else you need, I will arrange it right away."
Lin Siqiao took a look and saw bikinis, swimming goggles, sunscreen, an oversized sun hat and some mosquito repellent ointment. Basically, everything one should have was there.
"No need, Housekeeper Amanda, you have prepared all these very well. Thank you for your hard work."
"Ms. Siqiao, you are so polite. These are what I should do."
Amanda smiled and said, "Then Miss Siqiao, you should go to bed early. We'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Lin Siqiao sent the person to the door, but when she turned around, she saw Lu Jianchuan looking at her with a frown.
And in his hand, he was holding the bikini that housekeeper Amanda had prepared for her.
"Qiao Qiao, this...is this a swimsuit?"
Lu Jianchuan looked at the two pieces of clothing in front of him with very little fabric and questioned his soul.
Lin Siqiao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
At this time, bikinis in foreign countries are basically two-piece styles. The puff sleeve and wood ear lace skirt that housekeeper Amanda prepared for her is already considered a relatively conservative style among bikinis.
If she wore this to go on vacation to the beach abroad, no one would even look at her.
But if this kind of outfit were worn in China, Lin Siqiao couldn't imagine how badly she would be criticized.
But since she was already here and everyone was dressed like this, she couldn't just go to the beach wearing long sleeves and long pants.
Besides, they went to a private resort island and there were not many people on the island. Even if she wore it, no one would be able to see it.
Having said that, Lin Siqiao still dug out a silk scarf from her luggage.
The bohemian pattern has a unique style when paired with a bikini.
Lin Siqiao's problem was temporarily solved, but a new problem arose the next day. In fact, it was not a big problem, but there were too many people wearing bikinis on the island.
Dean Zhang is better off. After all, he has been in the country for many years and he once took his family to an island for vacation.
But Lu Jianchuan and Qiu Mingze had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, they didn't know where to look.
Fortunately, the driver who came to pick them up arrived quickly, as the flights of regional aircraft are generally very short.
Half an hour later, they arrived at another island, and then took a boat ride for nearly an hour to reach Dilar's private resort island.
The person in charge of the island, Mr. Bill, and a group of staff were waiting at the dock early.
Since this was Dilar's first time on the island, the person in charge gave a very detailed introduction along the way.
When Lin Siqiao heard that in addition to seven 360-degree panoramic island resort villas, there were also supporting tennis courts and golf courses on the island, she whispered to Dilar, how much did she spend to buy the island?
Lin Siqiao had a rough reference for the houses and shops in the city, but she really had no data reference at all for the island.
Lin Siqiao estimated that for a piece of this size, it would cost at least 3 million US dollars.
Unexpectedly, after Dilar quoted the price, Lin Siqiao was stunned, "800,000 US dollars?"
"Yeah, it seems so."
Dilar remembered that her father mentioned that it didn't cost much to buy the island, but more money was spent on the supporting facilities on the island.
As she spoke, she called Bill over. Bill was actually the butler of the previous island owner.
Because of his outstanding work ability, King Di re-hired him to be responsible for taking care of all matters on the island.
Bill's words also confirmed Dilar's statement that the transfer price of the island was indeed 800,000 US dollars.
Compared to a few years ago, this price is a bargain.
But ordinary people can’t afford islands. Rich people’s funds are tied up now, so how can they be in the mood to buy these?
Besides, there are more than a hundred islands of all sizes in Hawaii, so there are too many choices. Only the royal family, who are not short of money, can buy an island as if it were a game.
So, Bill didn't think too much about it and just thought that Lin Siqiao was curious.
But Dilar didn't think so. Others could not afford it, that was their own fault. But she had heard that her master had made several million pounds in the stock market in just a few months.
These hundreds of thousands of US dollars are nothing to the master.
And privately, Dilar still hopes that she can buy an island here, so that they can make an appointment to come here for vacation together in the future.
Thinking of this, Dilar asked directly.
"Master, there are several islands for sale nearby. If you are interested, I will ask Bill to inquire about them first."
Lin Siqiao already had this idea, and now that Dilar asked, she had nothing to hide.
"Well, I am indeed interested."
But not just one, if the price is right, she wants to buy several.
