Chapter 3 - Buying an island is cheap, but maintaining an island is difficult!

Zhang Yaming's mood has improved a lot. He has decided to stay at Jinshatan for two more nights and lay on the hotel sofa at night. Bored, he went online and saw many people calling out to him.

Zhutouming, where have you been lately? I heard something happened at your house

The person who was chatting with Zhang Yaming was Yao Yizhou, a dormitory buddy from his university. After graduation, he also stayed in the capital and worked for a boss company, doing quite well.

The two have a good relationship, even though Zhang Yaming has left Beijing and the city, they are still in contact. He probably heard the news of his mother's death from his ex girlfriend Yao Ting.

They are all in the capital and often gather together for meals.

"Sand porridge, my mother passed away!"

Zhu Touming and Sha Pot porridge are their nicknames at school.

As soon as Zhang Yaming thought of this, his heart ached and he felt a bit down.

Yao Yizhou: "... You go see Yao Ting's space, she showed a photo of Bali, accompanied by another person. Did you split up

Zhang Yaming: "Hmm

Yao Yizhou: "Zhu Touming, do you want to go back to the capital to find a job? Will you still squeeze in with me then

Never mind, I don't have plans to go back. If I have anything to tell you

Yao Yizhou is from Guangdong. His favorite food is casserole Congee. In winter, he often cooks Congee secretly in his dormitory.

Those Congee were filled with seafood and crabs. Zhang Yaming didn't dare to eat them at the beginning because he was afraid that he would vomit because of the heavy fishy smell. But the boy's craftsmanship was really good.

The Congee made by him is so delicious that everyone in the dormitory scrapes the porridge clean.

Yao Yizhou was first called Sha Pot porridge by people in his dormitory. When he got to know his classmates, they almost called him Sha Pot porridge.

As for the nickname of Zhang Yaming's pig head meat, it is only because he particularly likes to eat pig head meat and is often ridiculed by a group of livestock in the dormitory.

After a while, he turned into a pig's head.

Zhang Yaming casually flipped through it, and Yao Ting actually posted a photo of her in Bali, along with her diamond necklace and her boyfriend.

Yao Ting posted a lot of photos, each one with a sense of showing off.

Below the photo, there are comments and likes one by one.

You finally hit the limit up stock, sister. Wishing you all the best

Envy, jealousy, hatred, Bali, the most beautiful island of my dreams

That diamond is so beautiful, I envy it

Zhang Yaming looked at the photos of Yao Ting and felt a faint pain in his heart. She would definitely regret it!

Before going to bed, Zhang Yaming still picked up the pendant to study. It had been many days, but he still hadn't figured out how the water droplets in the jade bottle appeared?

Oh, there's a change in this jade vase? There's actually a misty mist. What's going on

Zhang Yaming jumped up from the sofa all at once. There was moisture in the bottle, does that mean it could condense into a drop of water?

Zhang Yaming's heart suddenly became hot. What was the reason for the misty moisture in this jade bottle?

Zhang Yaming fell into contemplation. The jade vase had not changed much these days, and only when it reached this golden beach would it start to steam up?

Is it related to this beach?

In the following days, Zhang Yaming kept paying attention to the changes in the jade bottle and felt the presence of misty water vapor, but it did not condense into water droplets for a long time.

Zhang Yaming stayed at Jinshatan for more than ten days, but in the end, the drop of water still couldn't condense. In the end, Zhang Yaming planned to change places to see if he could find a way to condense the drop of water.

Finally, Zhang Yaming went to the bustling city and then to the border town. His footsteps traveled through the mountains and rivers of China within two to three months.

But that drop of water vapor appeared and disappeared, but Zhang Yaming also gained something from it. He finally figured out one thing.

That means in order for water droplets to condense, there must be a place with water, and the environment must be good. The effect of the seaside is better than that of the lakeside river.

Zhang Yaming finally ran to Zhou and Shan, an island surrounded by water in China. After living there for a month or two, the jade bottle finally condensed into a droplet of water.

It took him four to five months for the water droplets to condense, and by then it was almost Chinese New Year. Zhang Yaming had just returned to his hometown.

When I got home, it was already the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. At night, there were fireworks and firecrackers everywhere, and there was a smell of gunpowder everywhere.

Cough cough, it's so choking

Zhang Yaming coughed twice and felt a little uncomfortable in his nose. As he looked around, the towering chimneys of the cement factory in the small town became particularly eye-catching.

There is smog in Beijing and a cement factory in my hometown. The environment is really bad. No wonder my mother passed away from lung cancer in the end?

The environment

Zhang Yaming seems to have suddenly understood something. He has gone to so many places, isn't the seaside environment the best?

Is it only in a good environment surrounded by water on all sides that it is most suitable for pendants to condense into precious water droplets?

Zhang Yaming seemed to suddenly understand a lot. He planned to leave his hometown after the Chinese New Year and search for a place free from pollution and surrounded by seawater.

Everything in the old house is still the same. On the evening of thirty, my cousin invited Zhang Yaming to his house to eat dumplings, but he refused.

Since his mother passed away, Zhang Yaming no longer wants to eat dumplings.

Seeing things and thinking of relatives, he felt uncomfortable in his heart!

On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, listening to the crackling sound of firecrackers outside and smelling the smell of gunpowder in the air, Zhang Yaming searched online.

He plans to visit the most beautiful and unpolluted place in the world after the Chinese New Year to see if his guess is correct.

A sentence on the webpage caught Zhang Yaming's attention.

Everyone has their own dream of an island, where there is only happiness and no worries, and life is free and easy. They only want to be immersed in their beautiful dreams and do not want to wake up

This sentence describes something really beautiful. Zhang Yaming clicked on the page and saw a series of pictures about islands, which were so beautiful that they were shocking.

The island is so beautiful!

Zhang Yaming didn't sleep well all night, firstly because of the crackling sound of firecrackers outside, which made him unable to sleep. Moreover, in his hometown, there is a custom of setting off firecrackers at midnight on time.

At midnight, the sound of firecrackers shaking the earth was like an earthquake disaster, followed by choking air that made people afraid to breathe.

Also, Zhang Yaming kept thinking about the pictures of the islands he saw on the computer.

Blue sky, colorful underwater world, walking barefoot on clean beaches, quietly watching the sea, reading, daydreaming, and leisurely enjoying the lazy atmosphere of the island.

There are also houses built on cliffs, opening windows and letting the rumbling sound of the waves enter directly, then completely relaxing and falling asleep... When I open my eyes again, my skin is refreshed, the soreness on my shoulders and back disappears completely, and I feel as if I have been reborn.

Under the blue sky and sea, countless sea turtles crawl and fish swim happily in the sea, creating a harmonious scene between humans and nature. The scene is truly beautiful!

Zhang Yaming was moved, feeling that those islands were like pearls shaken off by God in the human world. They were truly beautiful, surrounded by water on all sides, and the environment was not polluted, fully meeting the requirements for forming water droplets in his pendant.

How great it would be if I could also own an island myself?

Because he couldn't sleep, Zhang Yaming decided to search for information about islands online. This search really startled him. It turned out that there are many countries in the world that sell islands of different sizes.

The cheapest and smallest island costs only a few dozen yuan, while the most expensive island costs over 50 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 300 million Chinese yuan.

There are many islands available for sale worldwide, most of which are priced between $19000 and $12 million, which makes people's hearts race. Zhang Yaming remembered that he still had over 30 million RMB in his hand, equivalent to about 5 million US dollars.

Zhang Yaming's heart became hot. With 30 million yuan within the third ring road of Beijing, he could only buy a 300 square meter house, but he could choose to buy a medium-sized island in ten regions around the world!

Island buyers can generally obtain the nationality of the country where the island is located and enjoy the legal protection and benefits of that country.

The use of islands can be for personal purposes or for commercial activities such as tourism, but must comply with the laws of the host country.

However, in some countries, personal property is considered sacred and inviolable under the law, and some people commit robbery upon entering the house You can just pick up a gun and smash him, instead of some ridiculous laws.

If someone bullies or rapes your wife, and you kill the perpetrator, you may face the death penalty!

However, buying an island is not always as beautiful as you think. It's more like buying a house, but it's easy to buy and difficult to maintain.

Buying an island is just the beginning of the cost budget, and the construction of facilities such as food supply and tourism accommodation on a private island is the bigger expense.

If an island has not been developed yet, it still costs about $100000 to build a garbage disposal system, water supply system, and power generation system, as well as to build a deep-water dock or private airport, which is also a significant expense.

It can be said that if you expected to buy the island for two million dollars, you ended up spending five million dollars to maintain basic living on the island!

Buying an island is cheap, but maintaining an island is difficult.
