Bei Jianzhong asked in detail. This was the second time he and Xia Yu had worked together. What started as a simple renovation and upgrade of two old houses had become an entire island. The speed at which this young man accumulated wealth was astonishing.
“500 million US dollars!”
Since the project went abroad, it was natural to use foreign currency for settlement. Xia Yu directly gave a budget, which exceeded the price of buying the island that year.
The construction cost of the Shanghai International Circuit was more than 2 billion yuan more than ten years ago, and the land acquisition cost more than 1 billion yuan. He saved the money on the land acquisition and did not need buildings such as the stands. He only needed a racetrack.
The same goes for airports. There is no need for terminals or anything like that. The airport runway can be built according to the 4C standard, which is enough for the entire Airbus A320 series of aircraft to take off and land.
If you put these two together, you can get it for less than 300 million US dollars. In addition, since there is no land acquisition cost for the buildings on the island, the cost will not be that high. It’s just that the price of material transportation and labor will be a little more expensive, because Kana Island is too remote!
Bei Jianzhong estimated in his mind that if he was more careful with his spending, 500 million US dollars could indeed achieve good results, but the subsequent investment would be expensive.
Airports and racetracks cannot be left alone after they are built. Even if they are rarely used, they still require regular maintenance. Coupled with the buildings and ports on the island, an annual maintenance investment of tens of millions of dollars is absolutely necessary.
Xia Yu doesn't care about this. He is just worried about having no place to spend the money. So he might as well consider it as a contribution to the world's GDP!
"Mr. Bei, is 500 million not enough? If not, I can always add more later!"
Seeing Bei Jianzhong looking thoughtful, Xia Yu asked.
"It's enough, but if the budget is increased, we can build something better."
"Okay, if it can be better, of course it can be better. I'll add more later."
Xia Yu originally planned to add more money, but he had to wait until the 500 million was spent. Entering a new field is still very expensive. He was planning to get a dividend from Xia’s Catering next year.
It’s not clear at Xia’s Film Studio yet, but the TV series has officially wrapped up, and I heard the production is almost finished. They’re preparing to submit the film for review, and it should be able to be released during the Spring Festival.
Also released during the Spring Festival is the first movie he invested in. Xia Yu thinks the production is very good, but no one knows how much the box office will be during this Spring Festival.
Xia Capital's profits are decent, and it holds funds of around 500 million US dollars, of which 300 million is his and 200 million is external funds.
It seems a bit small. Xia Yu has this much budget for decorating a small island. But this is just the beginning. With the expansion of other companies of Xia Group, the scale of Xia Group’s capital can be further expanded.
Apart from anything else, he throws all his leftover pocket money into it. This investment company is his piggy bank that makes money. It doesn't matter if he loses money, it's just pocket money anyway.
After confirming the intention of cooperation, Xia Yu and Bei Jianzhong chatted in the hotel conference room for a whole morning. Because of the design style of the main building on the island, the architects had to clearly understand the client's wishes and realize their ideas.
Apart from family and friends, Bei Jianzhong is probably the person who knows Xia Yu's preferences best, and he must be honest in this regard.
"When I get back, I'll have my assistant draft a contract and head to Kana Island for a field survey as soon as possible. We'll stay in close contact over the next few months."
Bei Jianzhong stood up and said.
He is full of energy now. To be honest, he has designed too many things such as headquarters buildings, art galleries, and museums. This time, trying something different may trigger more inspiration.
"How can this be? If you want to leave, you have to have lunch before going back!"
Xia Yu also stood up and said.
At his request, Bei Jianzhong finally had lunch before going back, while Ji Yang slept until the afternoon.
This guy can really sleep. He has never slept like this in his life. During the college entrance examination, he said he would sleep for three days and three nights after the exam, but he still woke up very early the next day.
"Come on, come to the gym with me!"
"No, let me sleep a little longer."
When he heard that they were going to the gym, Ji Yang, who had wanted to get up, decisively lay back down in bed.
"You are really hopeless. Are you going back to your country in two days?"
Xia Yu talked about the itinerary issue.
"Why don't you go back home? Why do you want to stay here?"
Ji Yang sat up again and looked at Xia Yu in confusion.
"Well, I'm going to Maple Leaf Country."
"Damn, you're going to meet your lover, right? That pink Yaoying is for her!"
After hearing what Xia Yu said, Ji Yang instantly connected the previous events. It seemed that around Christmas last year, this guy went to the Maple Leaf Country. They had just met at that time.
"You're not good at anything, but you're the best at gossip. And don't say such harsh words. I'm going to meet a friend."
Xia Yu’s Qi-cultivation skills are pretty good now, so he didn’t get angry because of Ji Yang’s nonsense.
"Male friends, or female friends?"
"Okay, female friends, I'll introduce you to them later."
Ji Yang only knew He Jiawen as his senior. Xiao Jiang also knew that He Jiawen was his senior. It would not be too late to introduce her to Ji Yang later.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy my own ticket back home. I won't disturb you and your female friend. Calculating the time, you two are going to celebrate your birthday together, right?"
Ji Yang knew Xia Yu’s birthday, it was Double 12. They were not very familiar with each other last year, so a gift was a must this year.
"Don't mention any gifts. That game console was already a gift."
Normally, Xia Yu wouldn't fleece a sheep and then fleece it. It wouldn't be nice to ask for a birthday gift after blackmailing the game console, so he took the initiative to ask for it.
