Happy Tycoon

Sure enough, the small town of Pissouri did not disappoint Yang Jing and Gege.

This is a small town that is almost like a paradise. It is located between two hills with an altitude of more than 100 meters. A small alluvial plain with a length of more than 800 meters and a width of more than 500 meters emerged from Haikou, and the small town of Pissouri is located on this small alluvial plain.

The east and west sides of the town are surrounded by mountains, and the north is a valley about 200 meters wide to connect with the outside world. In this valley, there is not only the Saint-Pierre River, but also roads leading to the outside world. And to the south of the town is the rippling blue waves and the boundless Mediterranean Sea.

It was only when Yang Jing came to the small town that he realized that the town said to have a thousand people, but in fact the resident population was only around 400, and the rest of the population were rich.

The houses in the town are very distinctive, 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 of this small town.

However, walking on the quiet road of the town, Yang Jing found that this town is really amazing. Walking along this road, there are no less than a hundred luxurious holiday villas, and one of these villas is taken out at random. Come on, it's worth millions of dollars.

However, there is also a strange phenomenon here, that is, there are for sale signs on the gates of many luxury holiday villas.

What's going on? Why are there so many villas for sale? Yang Jing asked Lin Dan beside him.

Hey, isn't this all caused by the Greek debt crisis? Most people in South Cyprus are Greeks. Although they have nothing to do with Greece now, you must be aware of the influence of the Greek debt crisis. Cyprus Although it is a developed country, it is also a southern European country after all, so it was relatively affected by the Greek debt crisis in the past few years, and now Cyprus has gradually become the first choice for many rich immigrants in the world. These billionaires want to immigrate to Cyprus It’s very simple, you only need to spend more than 1.1 million Cypriot pounds, or about 2.4 million U.S. dollars, to buy a property here to obtain citizenship, and then you can obtain an EU passport after half a year. It’s like the small town of Pissouri, in fact It is an immigrant town, and 60% of the villas here are purchased by immigrants.

The consequences of Cyprus' impact on Greece's debt crisis in the past two years have gradually emerged, so some wealthy people are preparing to sell their real estate. Moreover, people who immigrate to Cyprus by buying a house only need to keep one set of real estate after three years For properties worth more than 300,000 euros, other properties can be sold. Like these villas here, it is very good for those rich people to live here for half a month in a year, so under the current situation, those who pass Most of the wealthy immigrants have started to sell their real estate. This is the situation in the small town of Pissouri.

Gege laughed and said: Then the Cyprus authorities are shooting themselves in the foot? Are you playing house? Buy a house with money and sell it after three years. This is not good for the economy of South Cyprus. If you catch up with a large number of If people sell houses at the same time, it will easily trigger the real estate crisis in South Cyprus.”

Yang Jing shook his head and said: It shouldn't be a big problem. The current economic pillars of Nansi are financial services, banking and tourism, and real estate does not account for a large proportion of Nansi's economy. Moreover, when these villas are sold, there are many successors behind them. , such as us.

Greg covered his mouth and laughed.

Lin Dan looked completely defeated.

Yang Jing asked, What about the prices of these houses?

Lin Dan said: Brother Yang, you just said that you are the receivers. Now Cyprus is very attractive to foreign rich people, especially rich immigrants from China and Russia, so these houses are not easy to sell. In terms of price, it is difficult to think cheap The value of these villas is more than 2.4 million US dollars, as long as you buy such a villa, you can immediately have Cyprus citizenship.

Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something when Ge Ge pointed to a three-story villa in surprise and said, God, this villa is so beautiful.

Yang Jing looked in the direction Gege pointed, and sure enough, there was a separate villa about 50 or 60 meters in front of him on the left, and the area of ​​this villa alone was several times larger than other villas. Because the altitude of this villa is much lower than where Yang Jing and the others are standing, so you can vaguely see the general situation of the villa through the lush tree crowns.

The area of ​​this villa is really large. Most of the other villas in the town occupy an area of ​​about 600 to 700 square meters, but this villa covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters. More than sixty meters.

And in the courtyard of this villa, there is also a huge swimming pool. The swimming pools in other holiday villas are about 20 to 30 meters long, but this irregular swimming pool is more than 50 meters long and 30 meters wide at its widest point.

Due to the topography of Cyprus and the fact that the best plains in the north are controlled by the Tu people, there are very few places suitable for building towns within the area controlled by the South Cyprus, which also leads to very high land prices in the South Cyprus towns.

Just like the small town of Pissouri, it is just an alluvial plain at the mouth of a river, and the area is pitifully small, but such a small flat place was also used by the Nansai people to build such a small town.

Similarly, in this small town, villas worth several million dollars can be seen everywhere, but the land area of ​​these villas is not too large, because it can’t be said that every inch of land is expensive here, and it is probably not much worse.

But the villa in front of me is so extravagantly occupying such a large piece of land, which is really shocking. The area occupied by this set of villas alone is enough to build five or six sets of holiday villas.

Lin Dan dug out a stack of information from his bag, looked it up, and said: Brother Yang, sister-in-law, you two will never think about the villa in front of you. If the information is correct, this villa is the richest man in Cyprus, John Frey. A holiday villa in Derrickson. The value of this villa is about 30 million euros.

Hearing the price, Gege stuck out his tongue. This price is almost catching up with the villas in some high-end villa areas in Yanjing. But where is this place? This is just a small town, and it can't be compared with Great Yanjing anyway. But this villa is so valuable.

Yang Jing asked in surprise, John Frederickson? The world's shipping magnate who immigrated from Norway to Cyprus?

Lin Dan nodded and said, That's right, that guy. The biggest ship king in the world right now.

Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly and said, Has even this guy immigrated to Cyprus?

Lin Dan said: Immigration is not enough. Norway's taxation is terrible, ranking fourth in the world. John Fredericksen used to be a Norwegian. His net worth of 12 billion US dollars made it impossible for him to live in Norway again. Continue to stay, don't forget, he is engaged in the ancient shipping industry, and there are not many ways to avoid taxes in this industry. As far as his net worth is concerned, if he stays in Norway, nearly half of his property will have to be handed over to Norwegian government.

Yang Jing knew that Lin Dan's words were definitely not alarmist. Norway's taxes are very high. Compared with Norway, the United States, known as the land of ten thousand taxes, pales in comparison. 45% of Norway's fiscal revenue comes from taxes, and the proportion of its domestic tax collection is frighteningly high.

Ge Ge obviously knew this person, and asked Yang Jing in a low voice: Is this John Frederick the Norwegian shipping king who made a fortune and rose during the Iran-Iraq War? Unexpectedly, even he has immigrated to Cyprus now. .”

Yang Jing didn't speak, and Lin Dan explained from the side: Sister-in-law, that's the ship king. The rise of this guy is similar to that of the legendary American Mark Rich, except that John Frederick is not as good as Mark Rich. Greed, so he could eventually become the world's shipping king, and Mark Rich became a criminal wanted by the United States on 51 charges including treason. Although Mark Rich was President of the United States in 2001 when Clinton was president was pardoned on the last day of Glencore, but Mark Rich never returned to the United States since he was wanted, and finally died of illness in Lucerne, Switzerland. Oh, yes, the predecessor of Glencore was Rich created by Mark Rich. fund.

Yang Jing added: John Frederick's father was an electric welder in the Oslo shipyard. He dropped out of high school at the age of sixteen and worked as a broker in a Norwegian shipping company. This guy is very courageous. Big, when he was 27 years old, the Iran-Iraq War broke out. At that time, no one dared to go to the Persian Gulf to transport oil, but he did. In the end, he earned the first pot of gold in his life by transporting the oil in the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War , and it has been out of control ever since.”

Until now, the world's shipping magnate controls a $12 billion shipping empire of nearly 150 tankers, LNG carriers, deep-sea drilling rigs, dry bulk carriers and other ever-changing ocean-related assets Collection. Frederiksen was once dubbed 'the modern day Onassis' but is now worth eight times as much as his Greek predecessor, the Norwegian tycoon with 'Sea Wolf' and 'Pirate King' in the industry nickname!

Yang Jing shook his head and said, I really didn't expect this Norwegian shipping magnate to become a Cyprus shipping magnate now.

Gege laughed and said, Then if we buy a villa here, won't we be neighbors with the richest man and shipping tycoon in Cyprus?

Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, If you are willing to be neighbors with the richest man, we can do that!
