Chapter 918, Sit firmly on Diaoyutai(3/4)
"you are wrong……"
She shook her head. Then she chuckled again.
Zhang Yong looked calm. He was neither happy nor sad. He didn't think there was anything funny about himself.
He was originally a rookie. He didn't understand anything. He didn't even know how to operate duty-free goods. But it didn't matter. Others told him and he gradually understood.
"Our homeland is too far away from you. Duty-free products are not cost-effective."
"Then what should I want?"
"A piece of land."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was slightly surprised.
A piece of land? Land?
He actually heard it clearly, but he just didn’t quite understand the operation inside.
Catherine wants a piece of land for herself?
Land sale?
"You can buy a piece of land in India."
"India?"
"Yes. India. We can give you a very favorable price."
“How deep is the discount?”
"Only ten pounds per acre. Ten thousand acres, only one hundred thousand pounds."
"real or fake?"
Zhang Yong's heart was pounding.
This price is cheaper than in the beautiful country.
According to the newspaper that Tang Shengming brought back earlier, the land for sale advertisements on it cost five hundred dollars per acre.
At the current exchange rate, one pound is equivalent to about five U.S. dollars. Pound 10 is about 50 U.S. dollars.
Compared with beautiful countries, land in India is indeed very cheap.
Of course, India cannot be compared with the beautiful country. However, it is indeed attractive.
Mainly, you can build plantations and build castles.
What man doesn’t want to build a castle? As long as he has money, it can be a small independent kingdom!
It's a pity that Catherine's proposal is very tempting. But it has a fatal flaw, which is that in more than ten years, India will be independent. By then, the situation will be chaotic. No matter how beautiful the manor is, it will be useless. It will all be used to make wedding clothes for others.
"of course it's true."
"Can I change it to another place?"
"Where do you want it?"
"New Zealand. Or Australia."
"Can."
"real?"
"Of course. As long as it's under the Queen's rule, it's okay."
Catherine replied with a smile.
Zhang Yong's heart is moved. That's good. As long as his heart is moved, she wins.
Catherine really hopes to have a special talent like Zhang Yong in her hands, because he is really very useful, especially in dealing with Japanese spies.
This alone is worth MI7 or MI5's efforts to win over the other party.
The British's only rival in the Far East was the Japanese.
And Zhang Yong is the nemesis of Japanese spies.
As long as Zhang Yong is willing to take action, he can defeat the Japanese invaders.
"Can any land be used?"
"As long as it is ownerless or the owner is willing to sell it."
"How long is the property rights?"
"Freehold."
"real?"
"Of course. According to the laws of our British Empire, land property rights are permanent. The wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot. You should know this sentence."
"ah……"
Zhang Yong's thoughts immediately flew away.
He ignored the plantations. He ignored the castles. He thought of the mines.
That's right. It's a mine.
iron ore.
Australia is very rich in mineral deposits.
So far, many mines have not been discovered.
That land may be ownerless.
Once purchased...
“How do you count in the middle of nowhere?”
"That's cheaper. You can buy several acres for a pound."
"After I buy it, everything underground belongs to me, right?"
"Of course. If oil can be found on your land, it will be very profitable."
"That's right. Oil..."
Zhang Yong followed what the other party said to avoid suspicion.
Australia doesn't seem to have much oil, but it is very rich in iron ore. What it needs is to build a few iron ores.
Of course, don’t show up yourself. Use local white gloves to show up.
By the way, what does New Zealand have?
"Then it's settled." Catherine was very happy.
Zhang Yong is indeed jealous of money.
When I heard about the benefits, I was immediately moved.
Those Japanese are stupid too. They can’t let go of their children to trap the wolf.
Why didn't I think of giving Zhang Yong a piece of land in the three northeastern provinces? Maybe he will really be tempted when...
Fortunately, he took action decisively and used land to retain Zhang Yong first.
"Okay." Zhang Yong nodded.
I secretly regret that I did not study world geography well in my previous life.
Where are Australia's iron ores mainly distributed? I'm so confused that I can't even remember...
in a hurry……
That is the real golden mountain!
"correct……"
"you say."
"After you get the drawings, take a photo for us."
"You want it too?"
Zhang Yong was suspicious, but then he reacted.
Yes, this is the point of Catherine.
They need drawings.
"For reference!" Catherine said lightly.
"Okay." Zhang Yong nodded cheerfully. Then he took out a drawing from his arms and presented it in front of her.
Catherine's eyes suddenly brightened.
drawing!
