    The financial crisis in the United States will not stop just because of the protests and demonstrations by the three major car companies. It will not stop because of the quarrel between the two parties. It is still developing according to the established track. Even because of these turmoils, the financial crisis  Market turmoil also intensified.

    As the protests in the Maldives become more and more bad news, everyone is becoming more and more desperate and out of control.

    Of course, in a country like the Maldives, protests and demonstrations don¡¯t happen several times a year?

    However, they are protesting, but they will never harass tourists who come here because they know that these people are their food and clothing parents. If they are involved and the news spreads in the future, then who will come to the Maldives to travel?  Who gives them food?

    But it is an indisputable fact that the entire Male Island and several other large islands are paralyzed.

    Their hard-earned money is just about to collapse with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and there is no way to get back a penny. This kind of thing is definitely not acceptable to them. It would be for any normal person.  , can¡¯t even accept it.

    Therefore, no matter what rhetoric the Maldives government uses, the people have only one request, and that is to get our money back. Then anything can be said, otherwise nothing will work!

    When negative emotions accumulate to a certain level, they will explode.

    Seeing the people becoming more and more agitated, the Maldives government finally ran out of options and chose to compromise, finally agreeing to Citibank¡¯s purchase request.

    Since the crisis of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae broke out, Citibank has long known that they have to sell islands to make up for their losses. They are greedy for money and want to earn more commissions.

    So they spread the news some time ago, especially when Citibank also mentioned that Xiao Qi, Richardson, Ellison and other super rich people were also interested. In just a few days, there were twenty or thirty big people.  Regal responded.

    Now Citibank has purchase requests for almost 88 islands.  Among them, Xiao Qi's 36 islands ranked first, and second was Paul Allen, Microsoft's second largest shareholder who has always been good at enjoying. He ordered 5 islands in one go.

    The Maldives is overwhelmed by the large number of purchase requests.

    Although there are about 1,000 undeveloped islands in the Maldives, you can¡¯t help but buy them here and there!

    But Citibank is also smart, they chose the island.  They are the most remote and difficult to develop. It will probably be fifty or sixty years before the Maldives has the strength to develop them.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out???????????????????????????????? ??

    And the subsequent transportation, roads, houses, electricity, fresh water, maintenance, etc. are all left to the Maldives. These subsequent maintenance costs alone are a huge financial supplement every year.

    You can exchange useless money for so many benefits, even if you have to sell 88 islands.  It also moved the hearts of Maldivian officials.

    But these people are not fools. They quickly spread the news through various channels, just to see the people's reaction.

    What makes Citibank a little surprised is that these people firmly disagree with the sale of the island, and there are no less than this amount of construction costs for transportation, roads, houses, and supporting facilities.  But they still stubbornly refused to allow the government to sell their islands.

    You know, the current annual income of the Maldives is only 30 million US dollars.  It is far from reaching the US$50 million when the number of tourists from China was overwhelming!

    The purchase and subsequent expenses of more than 700 million US dollars have basically been their income for 26 years!

    Not only that, they also asked the government to quickly resolve the issue of U.S. bonds, otherwise they would be rude.

    ? Okay.

    ??It¡¯s really unreasonable to force a woman to have a baby just because you don¡¯t agree with her when you come up with a solution!

    Just when things reached a deadlock.  Xiao Qi taught Qu Liang the second move he prepared.

    Citibank understood this and immediately threw out another bait.

    As we all know, 70% of the population of the Maldives is concentrated on Male Island, causing very serious congestion.

    So the Maldives government built an artificial island near Male Island.  It's called Hulhumale Island, and there's nothing else on it, only residences and supporting facilities.

    The construction of Hulhumale Island began in 1997 and was still under construction until 2013. After the construction of the residences here, many Male people worked on Male Island during the day and took a boat to Hulhumale Island at night.  sleeping at home.

    Xiao Qi has heard that in the previous life, the Chinese government carried out attacks on the Maldives.The content of the construction is to build a Chinese city on Hulhumale Island, which will build about 4,000 houses for free.

    ¡°But this only started in 2010, and it¡¯s only 2008, and China has not yet started to help the Maldives.

    However, it can also be seen that the housing problem in the Maldives is very prominent.

    ¡°It is also because of the help from the Chinese government and the fact that the Maldives used its tourism profits to build houses everywhere, the population of Male Island has dropped to 40% of the total population, and the housing problem has finally been alleviated to some extent.

    If you could buy the island with money before, Xiao Qi would not have any more tricks, but now it is obvious that it is not enough, so he can only increase the amount.

    Xiao Qi¡¯s big deal is to build free houses for Maldivians on Hulhumale Island.

    Each building has six floors, four houses on each floor, and each house is 80 square meters with three bedrooms and one living room. If we build 300 houses and 7,200 houses, many Maldivians will be tempted, right?

    Do you want to agree?

    ¡°Then let¡¯s increase the amount and build another two to three thousand units on other islands where houses can be built, totaling about 10,000 units, okay?

    The population of the Maldives is less than 400,000!

    For any family in any country, this house is a big killer, especially in the Maldives, which has many children and generally narrow living areas. The obsession with houses is basically the same as that of the Chinese.

    Not only Xiao Qi had this confidence, Citibank was also impressed when they heard the idea and immediately formulated a series of plans.

    Regarding building a house, the Maldives has almost no resources, so building a house is also troublesome. All materials have to be purchased from neighboring India and Sri Lanka or further away, and the cost will increase at least two or three times.  .

    Therefore, it was very difficult to build a house in the Maldives in the past. Even if the children got married, many families lived together because they had no house to live in, which was overcrowded.

    Now that someone is repairing their house for free, why aren¡¯t they happy?

    Of course, Xiao Qi did not pay for this alone. Citibank made the budget. When the negotiation is successful, whoever wants to buy the island will pay according to the proportion, because this is also part of the cost of purchasing the island.

    As expected, after Citibank threw out this bait, the people demonstrating in the Maldives became excited.

    With 7,200 houses, basically one in five young people can own their own house, which can also greatly relieve family pressure.

    So their protest suddenly weakened.

    However, people¡¯s hearts are always insufficient. 7,200 units is certainly a lot, but why can¡¯t there be more?

    It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that every family should have one set, but every young family of young people of the right age should have one set, right?

    With such thoughts, they started protesting and wrangling again.

    "These guys don't even think about it. There are more than 130,000 young people of the right age in the Maldives. If converted into a family, it should be at least 60,000 to 70,000. How much does this cost?

    ¡°But Citibank is not afraid of them wrangling at all. It is afraid that the Maldivians won¡¯t even talk about it. Now that they are willing to talk about it, it has just entered their rhythm.

    How can these honest and unscrupulous guys be the opponents of elites like Citibank in negotiations?

    Negotiations take time, but when things get to this point, Xiao Qi and other wealthy people finally feel at ease.

    It¡¯s just a matter of spending more money. Compared with money, those beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean that are developed and beautiful are the things that best reflect a person¡¯s wealth and taste!

    The 36 islands that Xiao Qi wants to buy seem to be a lot now, but as long as Xiao Qi's children are born, these islands cannot be said to be very abundant.

    Regarding the fate of the property rights of the islands, Xiao Qi has already thought about it. The method of allocating the islands should be based on his own Xiao family property distribution method.

    The children of the wife in each house will own one set, and the remaining islands belong to all the descendants of the Xiao family, and no one can monopolize them at any time.

    And the property rights of these islands will be distributed in this way, and they will be divided from the beginning to avoid any disputes in the future.

    It is good for Xiao Qi to distribute property to his children, but if this causes any soap opera, it will be the last thing Xiao Qi can accept.

    Fortunately, there are examples of the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, and the European royal families. Xiao Qi was able to learn from their experiences and lessons and sum up such a relatively practical method.

    Well, if you want to worry about this matter, you have to wait at least twenty years later, my childLet¡¯s talk about it when we are all grown up.

    For now, let¡¯s think about enjoying it first!

    Xiao Qi began to look forward to the happy scene of taking his wife here for a vacation after the island was repaired.

    Our things cannot be seen by others, but on this own island, there is nothing to worry about, right?

    Life is like this. Only when you have time and place to relax unscrupulously can you work better!

    With private islands having such good uses, it¡¯s not worth Xiao Qi¡¯s troubles for them!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
