Pilot Old Jack said, pointing to an island on the right.
"Lana'i?"
“Yes, this is the island.”
Lanai, with an area of 364 square kilometers, is the 42nd largest island in the United States and the 6th largest island in Hawaii.
On June 22, 2012, Murdoch sold 98% of the island to Larry Ellison for $500 million to $600 million, with the remaining 2% still owned by the state.
Xia Yu had done his homework. This was also the most expensive private island in the world. His Kanai Island was only half the price of others, less than half the area, and much more remote. The only advantage was that all the property rights belonged to him!
Property rights do not mean sovereignty. Although Xia Yu cannot build a country on this island, he can do whatever he wants on the island and no one can control him.
After the plane had been flying for seven or eight hours, it was completely dark. They landed on the sea and camped, waiting to continue their voyage the next day.
When a seaplane lands on the sea, it becomes a boat. There are camp beds, water, electricity, and food on the plane. There is definitely no internet. Lao Xu only brought a satellite phone.
This made Xia Yu think about the issue of future Internet access: should he use an undersea optical cable or directly use satellite?
I fell asleep while thinking, and when I opened my eyes again it was already dawn the next day.
Old Jack was already up at this time. As people get older, they sleep less. Now that both of them were up, Old Xu also woke up after hearing the noise. Since no one was asleep, they decided to set off and talk about it when they reached their destination.
The propeller roared and began to turn. The old albatross didn't glide far on the sea before it rushed into the sky and continued to fly southwest. When it was dawn, the charming Kana Island appeared in sight.
Old Jack first flew around the island and saw that the vegetation on the island was very lush and the terrain was undulating. There was a beach on one side and a cliff on the other. The sea water was deeper on the side close to the cliff, and there was an "concave"-shaped gap.
This is a good point. With a little design, not to mention super yachts, even warships can be parked inside.
"Jack, we're parked over there on the beach."
Xia Yu spoke to Old Jack on the radio.
"no problem!"
The old albatross landed on the sea again, and then everyone came to the island.
There are not many traces of human remains on Kana Island because it is off the main shipping route and planes do not fly here. Apart from explorers who know about this island, few people visit it.
There is a house at the end of the beach, but no one has lived there for eight or nine years. When construction starts, just tear it down and rebuild it!
To transform this island into what Xia Yu imagined, a conservative estimate would be no cheaper than buying the island, so let's start with a budget of 500 million US dollars.
Spending such a large sum of money is just enough for him to reach Level 18, and his mother no longer has to worry about him not being able to find a place to spend the money.
"Old Xu, unload the things!"
"Yes, boss."
Lao Xu returned to the plane and unloaded a Kawasaki KX450F from the rear cargo hold.
The roads on the less developed islands are quite bad. Taking this into consideration, Xia Yu brought an off-road motorcycle.
"Ah~~"
Starting the engine, Xia Yu rode his scooter around the island, and the agent glasses uploaded the detected data to his mobile phone for summary. He had only had a rough idea of it on the plane just now, but he could see it clearly once he got to the bottom.
The terrain in the southeast is flat, suitable for building an airport runway, the northwest corner is suitable for building a port, and the central area can be used to build his manor. The forest in the northeast is so lush, what can be done with it?
By the way, didn’t he think about having a private zoo before? It’s not easy to find a suitable place in the country, so let’s build it on the island.
A comprehensive museum will be built near the manor, where some collections that are sensitive in China or that are not cost-effective to transport back home can be placed.
Not to mention sports cars and the like, the most important things are some tanks and armored vehicles that he has been eyeing for a long time.
Without exaggeration or understatement, I am also a half-military fan. I was also in the Iron Blood Army back then. I like some tanks from World War II to today. It's just that I am short of money and can't even afford a model.
Life is much better now, and you can get on a real car directly. But the atmosphere for this doesn’t exist in China, so if you want to have fun you have to go abroad.
Yes, with such an island, Xia Yu can spare no expense to turn it into his own secret base, a true paradise.
At that time, I will stay in China for half a year and here for half a year. I can also bring my parents, wife and children over to share the joy of family.
I have to say it’s great to be rich, but few rich people are willing to spend as much as Xia Yu, especially the wealthy people in China.
Pursuing wealth, constantly pursuing wealth, until finally crossing the line and starting to pursue power, Xia Yu felt that this was not what he wanted.
The ultimate goal of making money is to enjoy life, in order not to come to this world in vain. Money can never be earned enough, but when it comes to power, it is easy..., making money while enjoying the beauty of the world, this is the real thing.
Although Xia Yu is not very old, he thinks very clearly. Otherwise, how sad it would be if someone died without spending the money.
As for training his children to become the next generation of super-rich, this question is a bit too far-fetched. He has to have children first.
Riding a motorcycle to the highest point of the entire island, Xia Yu took in the entire island's terrain and took out his cell phone to call Feng Manxue.
The mobile phone won in the lottery uses satellite signals. A SIM card does not need to be inserted. As long as there is no magnetic field interference, it can connect to the communication satellite and call anyone.
"Hello? Mr. Xia?"
