None of the people sitting here are outsiders.

As early as when Wu Jun opened a small supermarket, the relationship between the several people was very good.

After Wu Jun and Xu Fei confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, they even got closer and closer.

Xu Fei and Xu Minli ate for a while, then went out to the kitchen to make dumplings.

In Wu Jun's hometown, the most eaten thing during the first month is dumplings.

After the two left, only Wu Jun, Xu Shucai and Cui Yuan were left.

There was no need for the three grown men to avoid anything. The host, Xu Shucai, took out a cigarette from his pocket and dispersed it.

Wu Jun saw Cui Yuan smoking very skillfully and asked with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Yuan can also smoke."

Cui Yuan looked slightly embarrassed and said: "Ahem, I rarely smoke, occasionally two."

He was like a child in front of Wu Jun, and he felt embarrassed when an adult caught him smoking.

Xu Shucai, a long-time smoker, said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan is a man too, so it's okay to smoke a little, but you have to pay attention to controlling the amount."

"Well, I know uncle, I can control it." Cui Yuan nodded, showing great respect for Xu Shucai.

"I found that Xiao Yuan has a good drinking capacity." Wu Jun stared at Cui Yuan curiously for a long time, as if he had discovered a new world.

Since Cui Yuan was admitted to college, the two of them have met less often. Today is the third time?

The shyness of a high school student in Cui Yuan has completely faded away in half a year, and he is now a little man.

Cui Yuan scratched his head and explained with a smile: "I found a part-time job during college. I often had to accompany my seniors to socialize. The more I drank, the more I drank."

Wu Jun asked curiously: "Oh? What kind of part-time job are you looking for?"

Cui Yuan gave up and said: "This part-time job is quite interesting. Uncle Jun may rarely hear about it."

"Oh? Is it very niche? Let's talk about it." Wu Jun's interest became more intense.

Xu Shucai also looked at his nephew with curiosity.

Because he is usually very busy with work in the factory, his uncle rarely chats with his nephew.

I just occasionally give Cui Yuan tens of thousands of pieces of pocket money.

Before today, he didn't know that his nephew had a part-time job.

Cui Yuan saw that the curiosity of the two was aroused, so he stopped talking and said, "Have you ever heard of island sales, uncle Jun and uncle?"

Xu Shucai was very surprised when he heard this: "Island sales? Island sales? Aren't those things all national? Can they be sold?"

Cui Yuan nodded and said: "Well, the islands we sell are all contracted by companies or individuals from the state and resold, making a profit on the price difference or something."

Wu Jun was not very surprised when he heard Cui Yuan reveal the answer.

Island sales?

He had actually heard of it before today.

Lao Luo's son Luo Zhengang was involved in an island development project.

Luo Zhengang illegally gave a loan to a developer to develop an island. As a result, the development of the island was far from simple as imagined.

During the development process, we encountered various difficulties and the shackles of national policies, and the development was unfinished halfway through.

Bank loans also went down the drain.

His son Luo Zhengang was imprisoned, his daughter Luo Zhenmin broke away from the father-daughter relationship, and Luo Laoluo fell into a coma.

A series of changes in Lao Luo's family were caused by a small island.

Talking about the special industry in which he works part-time, Cui Yuan talked endlessly about some industry experiences.

Wu Jun and Xu Shucai listened with great interest, taking it as a relief from boredom and broadening their horizons.

House sellers are all over the street, and you can kill several of them with one brick. There are very few people selling islands.

Thanks to Cui Yuan's popular science, the two of them also had a general understanding of the island project.

Liao Province once issued a document on island contracting. As soon as the document was released, the topic of "wanting to be an island owner" sparked heated discussion on the Internet.

With "tourism and entertainment" as the island type, developers only need to pay a minimum of 3,700 yuan per year to have the right to use an island with an area of ​​1 hectare and realize their dream of being an island owner.

In the writings of martial arts master Jin Yong, Peach Blossom Island is the paradise of "Dong Xi" Huang Yaoshi, which has inspired many people's dream of being an island owner.

But for developers in reality, developing uninhabited islands is more like surviving on a deserted island in Robinson Crusoe.

Some coastal provinces had two uninhabited island development booms in 2003 and 2005, but the development was once halted due to disorderly development.

It is easy to buy an island but difficult to build one. There are few successes and many losers. The policy swings between protection and development. This is an embarrassing situation faced by the development of uninhabited islands in China for a long time.

Liao Province is the province with the most islands in the north, with a total of 633 islands, including 44 inhabited islands, 589 uninhabited islands, and 198 uninhabited islands have been developed and utilized.

If you want to get the right to use the island, you have to go through a relatively complicated procedure.

According to the regulations of the Liao Provincial Department of Natural Resources, before the transfer of uninhabited islands, the grade of the uninhabited islands, the type of island and the way of using the island should be determined.

On this basis, the value of rare and endangered species, fresh water, beaches and other resources on uninhabited islands is evaluated and a transfer price is formed.

Liao Province has identified six types of island use methods: original use, light use, moderate use, heavy use, extreme use, and reclamation to connect islands and cause the island to disappear.

The more severe the damage to the island, the higher the transfer fee will be.

In addition, uninhabited islands are divided into six grades, and the price difference between first grade and sixth grade is more than double.

Taking islands for tourism and entertainment as an example, they are also the original form of use with minimal ecological damage. The minimum transfer standard for uninhabited islands in the sixth class is 3,700 yuan per hectare per year, and in the first class is 9,500 yuan.

The most serious damage to the ecology is the reclamation of islands, which causes the island to disappear. A one-time payment of 9.27 million yuan per hectare is required for sixth-class islands and 24.55 million yuan for first-class islands.

Compared with the past, the adjusted price of uninhabited islands has increased significantly.

Information released by the Liao Provincial Department of Natural Resources shows that raising the standard for collecting fees for the use of uninhabited islands is to exert an economic lever control effect, thereby raising the ecological threshold for sea use.

Luo Zhengang and the "island owner" he took care of were bought at a high price, but he underestimated the difficulty of being an island owner.

Due to strict protection of marine ecology, the environmental assessment of island projects takes a long time.

According to media reports, the environmental assessment process alone of some relatively large-scale island development projects has triggered research and discussions among marine fishery departments at the national, provincial, municipal, and county levels.

Expert review meetings have gone back and forth many times, and it takes a while to collect and monitor data on the ocean, which is very time-consuming.

From the time when the right to use the island is taken to the start of construction, it takes two or three years, which is considered fast.

In addition to the time-consuming evaluation process, the cost of island construction has also overwhelmed many companies that entered the industry on a whim.

Going into details, where do the infrastructure and building materials for building houses come from? They must be transported from the mainland to the island.

With the same construction specifications, the cost of building on an uninhabited island is at least three times that of building on land.

As a result, even the most basic water and electricity supply, building a simple house, and building a cement road will require an investment of tens of millions of yuan.

If you want to make the entire building more refined and perfect, the cost will be higher.

Take Luo Zhengang's project as an example. The local authorities wanted them to invest 500 million yuan.

The total net worth of the company's shareholders, together with the 200 million yuan in bank loans, is not enough to fill this hole.

In the end, the project failed, the project was not developed, and the company's capital chain collapsed.

The final result was that the main person responsible ran away and Luo Zhengang was imprisoned.

Many people are not familiar with islands and do not understand financing. They blindly purchase islands, which not only brings down themselves, but also drags down the local government.

A number of failed cases have led local governments to continuously raise the development threshold and impose higher and higher requirements on buyers.

In addition to high construction costs and difficulties, developing islands also requires facing sensitive ecological environments.

According to industry insiders, the initial investment in developing uninhabited islands is huge, the ecological environment is sensitive, construction is difficult, and the investment recovery cycle is long.

If there is no strong financial strength to support it, it may be a "pit" for developers.

It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out, and I'll trick you without any negotiation.

"By the way, last year, our International Village had a buyer who bought an island with over a thousand hectares in Liao Province, but the capital chain was cut off halfway through the development."

While chatting, Cui Yuan talked about things around him.

"That project is really a pity. I followed my seniors to visit that island. Both the geographical location and the environment are very good. I feel that if it can be developed, we will definitely be able to make money back in the future."

After Xu Shucai heard Cui Yuan's words, he looked at Wu Jun in a tacit understanding.

Xu Shucai also heard about what happened in Lao Luo's family.

Xu Shucai looked at Cui Yuan and said with a smile: "After listening to what you said, I feel that developing the island is like a bottomless pit of money."

Cui Yuan smiled and said: "It's almost a bottomless pit. Most people really can't afford to burn it. There may not be a few people who can afford it, but there are really not many international shops that can afford to develop it."

"What are we talking about? It's such a lively chat. The dumplings are made. Should we eat them later or now?"

Xu Minli entered the room and interrupted everyone's conversation.

Wu Jun said: "Let's get off the pot now. The three of us have almost finished drinking. We will eat the dumplings and drink some more in a while and then we will finish it."

"Okay, I'll ask Feifei to make some dumplings." Xu Minli went out with a smile again.

Less than ten minutes after leaving the house, Xu Fei and Xu Minli, aunt and nephew, came in carrying a stainless steel tray.
