After discussing the real estate group's withdrawal from the Japanese property market, Li Guangyu discussed the planning of Bentley Island with the senior executives present.
Previously, Li Guangyu set the tone for Bentley Island as an offshore financial center to attract wealthy people who need to establish offshore funds and some group headquarters to register here and learn from Bermuda's practice. At the same time, the stock market in Hong Kong also agreed to be registered by Bentley Island.
Offshore companies are listed in Hong Kong.
At the same time, it also builds Bentley Island into a tourist attraction, attracting tourists from all over the world to Bentley Island.
However, due to the transfer of Dongxing Real Estate Group, his plan was temporarily put on hold. Now he needs to reconsider the positioning of Bentley Island with the senior management of the consortium.
Li Weiming has never wanted to expose Bentley Island to outside tourists. He originally wanted to use Bentley Island as a training base for the Security Department to strengthen the training intensity of the Security Department.
It's a pity that the arm can't hold the thigh. Yuan Tianfan of Tianyu Financial Group and Qin Jiao of the Real Estate Department, as well as Zhao Wenhua of the Air Transport Group, all hope to build it into a financial offshore base like Bermuda, and at the same time strengthen the construction of tourism.
You must know that the area there is about the same as Lamma Island, with 14 square kilometers, which is enough to build many buildings and tourist facilities on it. In addition, the island is surrounded by the sea, and you can enjoy the sea from many places. In addition, there is the Jiayi Group
The publicity machine is bound to be loved by many tourists.
And now that Li Guangyu is revisiting the positioning of Bentley Island, Li Weiming naturally does not want to give up his previous plan.
After Li Guangyu finished speaking, he immediately said: "Li Sheng, our company is getting bigger and bigger, which has higher and higher security requirements for us, and has also raised the requirements for security training. We are currently at the training base in Tianshuiwei
It is far from being able to meet our security training needs.
I hope to use Bentley Island as our training base to improve the technical and tactical level of our security personnel, especially those who graduated from Starlight School and joined the security department, but they lack a lot of training."
Zhao Wenhua did not agree with Li Weiming's intention to use Bentley Island as a training base. He said loudly: "Li Sheng, you must know that Bentley Island still belongs to Britain, and its island is not far from the NATO military base. It can be said that this kind of island itself has always been
Under NATO surveillance, this place is simply not suitable for the construction of a training base.
On the contrary, as the location of offshore funds, we can reap a lot of benefits, and at the same time, equipped with good tourist facilities, it will be a good place to attract money."
The real estate department doesn't think it matters this time. Anyway, they have no plans to enter tourism real estate for the time being. The planning of Bentley Island has little impact on them. After there are no relevant interests, Qin Jiao, Guo Qingya, Zhao Qianyin and others all chose this time.
silence.
Whether it is profitable to develop real estate on Bentley Island mainly depends on Li Guangyu's planning. Compared with investing there, they think it is more practical to invest funds in large cities.
In the past, we needed such a test field to accumulate experience for the development of tourism real estate. Now that we are no longer prepared to develop tourism real estate, Bentley Island is nothing more than a waste for the real estate industry.
The Political Research Office and the Secret Office also hope to have a base to train talents for their own departments, and Bentley Island is a good choice. As long as the island is not open to the outside world, it can fully meet the needs of their three departments to establish training bases on it.
Peng Xiaoli and Qiu Weiting, deputy director of the Political Research Office who attended the meeting, expressed their support for Bentley Island not being open to the outside world and hoped that they could put their training base on Bentley Island. Such an isolated place would be more conducive to the training and confidentiality of their departments.
You must know that it is not easy to own such a large island. If the British side did not hope to amplify Li Guangyu's inner ambition, they would not have given Zhang Ziyu such a large fiefdom.
Although Bentley Island is deserted and does not have many resources, even fresh water resources are pitiful. Once more than a thousand people live on it, drinking water will be a problem.
In order to solve this problem, Li Guangyu has arranged for Zhang Ziyu to negotiate with Kuwait to purchase seawater desalination equipment. A large seawater desalination plant will be built on Bentley Island. At the same time, Bentley Island is building a thermal power station, which also requires fresh water.
The investment of the Lee Group in this island is not small. Many things rely on external transportation. Whether it is steel bars or cement, Wheelock Shipping Company ships them to the island one by one. Moreover, the port has not been built yet.
, it is very troublesome to unload goods every time, which increases the difficulty and cost of construction.
Nowadays, water for thousands of workers on the island is delivered ship by ship. The little fresh water resources on the island are simply not enough for the workers above.
You must know that there are more than 8,000 workers there, and ports, airports, power plants, gas stations, fresh water plants, liquefied natural gas gasification stations, and government affairs centers are all under construction.
If we consider not opening it to the outside world at this time, there will be too much waste. If it is just used as a training base for several departments, they do not need to build any fresh water plants or ports at all. An airport is enough.
There is no need to build a LNG gasification station.
Cao Weiqing did not want her family's funds to be wasted like this. She said loudly: "Currently, various construction projects on Bentley Island are continuing to advance. I personally think there is no need to make major changes to the plan. The main thing now is to discuss what we want to build on the island."
Supporting facilities will help Bentley Island develop better, allowing us to make more profits."
This was also the original intention of convening this meeting, but Li Weiming and others did not quite understand what Li Guangyu meant. Maybe they knew, and they just wanted to fight for it. Even if Bentley Island was not available, they also hoped that Li Guangyu could buy an island.
It is used for training by several departments.
Guo Qingya said aloud: "Li Sheng, madam, even if Bentley Island develops, the population will not be too large, and it is not suitable for us to settle in Wheelock Plaza. I suggest that Starlight Real Estate Group go there instead of building Starlight."
Once the city is established, there is only one street, and three-story buildings are built on both sides. One hundred buildings will be built at a time, with the first floor being the facade and the housing above for purchase by outsiders.
At the same time, we will build a community hospital, a hotel, a supermarket, and a community. The community is mainly for our staff to live in. The subsequent construction will wait until Bentley Island develops."
No one knows what Bentley Island will develop into now. Building Star City, Wheelock Plaza, or even large office buildings is a waste.
Cao Weiqing has already spoken. Naturally, Peng Xiaoli, Qiu Weiting, and Li Weiming will not mention the issue of Bentley Island being closed to the public. As for how to build it, this is not their expertise.
The government affairs center currently under construction on Bentley Island is a small government. There will be the Bentley Island Affairs Administrator, the police station, the tax bureau, the commercial bureau, the finance bureau, the health bureau, the courts, etc. These departments are all recognized by the British.
The personnel can be appointed by Zhang Ziyu.
Zhao Qianyin has no objections to the construction. Such construction volume is just a piece of cake for Starlight Real Estate Group and does not require much energy from the group.
She said aloud: "Li Sheng, based on Miss Guo's suggestion, I think it is necessary to establish a communication base station to facilitate communication between the island and the outside world."
As Zhao Qianyin finished speaking, the top executives put forward their own suggestions one after another, as if they wanted to build Bentley Island as a city.
After everyone finished speaking, Li Guangyu said: "We should not take too big a step at the moment. Bentley Island will not be able to develop into a city in a short time. The main thing now is to prepare the basic equipment to meet some of the current needs and expand.
The question still depends on the future development of Bentley Island. Currently, Bentley Island is still short of a person in charge. I wonder if you have any good candidates?"
