Chapter 387 Investment and Decision Making
Liang En had seen the news about the sale of state-owned land by the Greek government before. The main reason was that the overall economic situation in Greece was not good, so this was the only way to raise funds to repay the debt.
It's just that the news focused on those islands that could be sold in order to attract attention, so Liang En really didn't know the overall situation of this project.
"According to the information our people have received, excavation is allowed for the land sold by the Greek government this time, and excavation permits will be given free of charge if the land exceeds ten acres." Harry said in a low voice.
"Greek excavation permits are actually not worth much." Liang En shrugged and said, "They require that all excavated items must be handed over, and theoretically the Greek government will pay half the value of the excavated items as a reward."
"You're right, but from the perspective of archaeological excavation, this is a very good opportunity." Harry nodded first, and then said, "For example, the discoverer can be a partner of the excavation and designate 1 to 5 archaeological excavators. The team joined the excavation work."
"For another example, if the relics are really found, in addition to exchanging the rewards, the discoverer can also choose to share the rewards into shares, and share the possible income from the discovered relics in the future."
"It sounds good, but to put it bluntly, the Greek officials don't want to pay in cash." Liang En shrugged with a smile. From this policy, it can be seen that Greece's financial problems are indeed serious, so that it has to be used This method raises funds.
However, these policies can indeed attract some people. For example, Oxford University and Golden Dawn behind Harry plan to join the auction to see if they can buy the land with relics underneath.
"What do you think of us going to Greece to try our luck?" Liang En asked Joan of Arc on the way home after the party was over and he exchanged contact information with some more speculative people.
After staying in the western world for so many years, Liang En certainly understands that the means of production are the most valuable investment here, and a piece of valuable land is the best means of production.
This is why Liang En invests in ranches, real estate, plantations, or wind power plants. Although this type of investment has a lower rate of return than financial speculation, it is undeniable that this type of investment is more stable.
"A good suggestion. The olive plantations in Greece are still very valuable, and the vineyards are also good. If it is not enough, wheat farms or ordinary pastures are also acceptable." Joan of Arc said, who had checked a lot of information just now.
Joan of Arc may not be very clear about other industries, but she is a real expert in farming. Whether she helped her family manage the farmland when she was young or later fought with the noble generals, she learned a lot. Knowledge of agriculture.
Of course, the agricultural knowledge here is not how to farm the land, but how to run the farm and make profits from the farm.
In short, in the eyes of Joan of Arc, land is definitely one of the most worthwhile investment projects, so she immediately answered the question raised by Liang En in the affirmative.
And when Liang En went home the next day and asked his parents about this at the lunch table, they also gave the same advice as Joan.
For his parents, they have the special love of the Chinese people for the land in their bones, and they were even willing to leave their hometown to live in this country half a world away from their hometown for a farm, so they naturally supported their children to buy land.
After listening to everyone's suggestions, Liang En made up his mind at once. In fact, he was also inclined to invest in this area before, and the support of his family and friends made him let go of the last bit of doubt and start to do this matter.
So in the following week, Liang En spent a lot of time collecting information on this with his lawyer, and then flew to Athens, the capital of Greece, with Fan Meng and Joan of Arc.
Because they planned to buy the land with 500 million euros this time, they got official reception soon after they arrived in Athens, and then they picked out a bunch of materials.
Obviously, the price of buying land all over the world is closely related to the location of the land. For example, under the same conditions in Greece, the agricultural land near Athens is three times the agricultural land on the border between Greece and Turkey.
"Why is this land so cheap?" After searching for a map for a long time, Liang En suddenly took out a map located in Crete and said.
"Sixty hectares only cost 500 million euros. I remember that even the empty agricultural land costs 900 million euros, let alone the olive plantation marked here."
"There is a reason why this land is cheap." After seeing the picture, the staff member immediately checked it on the computer, and then explained it to him.
"On the one hand, only 40 hectares of the entire land are olive plantations, and the 20 hectares of land in the core is a hill with a steep slope and a piece of barren land, which is not very suitable for agricultural planting."
"On the other hand, these olive groves are about ten years old, but the overall harvest is very bad, and they haven't even entered the fruiting period, while normal olive trees should enter the fruiting period in 7 to 9 years."
"So people who accept plantations may need to spend a lot of time, energy and money to deal with these problems, so we put the price of this land at the same price as wasteland."
Through the staff member's explanation, Liang En finally let go of his doubts. If so, the price of an olive grove on the island of Crete, the largest olive producing area in Greece, would be understandable.
Unlike ordinary merchants who would like to blow up one yuan for ten yuan when selling goods, this time the land sale is an official act, with the country's reputation as the endorsement, so there is no possibility of serious fraud.
It's just that if you want to buy a real estate, you can't just check the information in the office. So after the Greek officials verified Liang En's capital, the two parties made an appointment to go to Crete for a field trip the next day accompanied by official personnel. one time.
"Why did you take over such a rotten land?" After returning to the hotel, Joan of Arc immediately asked Liang En about her doubts. At this time, Fan Meng consciously said hello and ran to the hotel swimming pool for a swim. up.
"This is because there is likely to be an important historical site on that barren hill in the middle of the olive plantation." After realizing that there were only himself and Joan of Arc around, Liang En was naturally able to talk about the matter. "
If the ruins really exist, even if I pay 500 million to buy this land, I will make a profit.And if the ruins don't exist, I also have a way to bring that olive plantation back to life, at least without compensation. "
"If things are as you said, then this investment is indeed worthwhile." Hearing what Liang En said, Joan of Arc was immediately convinced.
The special relationship between the two of them let Joan of Arc know that Liang En has many abilities that normal people regard as myths, so after hearing what he said, Joan of Arc immediately understood what Liang En was thinking.
So after a good night's rest, early the next morning, they took a scheduled flight departing at 10:30 noon to the capital of Crete: Heraklion.
