The situation in Italy mentioned by Brali is very bad, which can only be compared to a few years ago.??See?

If we compare Italy with Greece, it can be said that life in Italy is still pretty good.

With Xiao Qi's fueling, the European debt crisis in this life has exploded much more violently than in the previous one, and Greece, which bore the brunt of it, is even more miserable.

It is no exaggeration to say that starting from December last year, the salaries of the Greek civil service system have not been released. If the European Central Bank had not urgently borrowed an amount of hundreds of millions of euros to pay Greek salaries, I am afraid that the police would have been

I had no salary and had to find another job.

It would not be fun to have no police to guard this already chaotic country!

But even so, it is impossible to quench Greece's thirst with just a few hundred million euros.

They have incurred too much debt over the years, and their ability to create wealth is getting weaker day by day. They have basically relied on loans to survive in the past few years. Once the capital chain is broken, they will be completely in a state of collapse.

If a country cannot even repay its debts, then they are completely bankrupt in terms of credit. Those creditors can take over the finances of the country of Greece. Auctioning the national wealth to repay debts is like liquidating a company after bankruptcy. It can only be

A portion to be slaughtered by others.

That's not to say there aren't solutions.

The International Monetary Fund has actively proposed a rescue plan of more than 7 billion euros. As long as Greece agrees, the first tranche of more than 2 billion euros will be credited to Greece's national account to help Greece survive the upcoming waves.

Waves of debt default risk.

All right.

The International Monetary Fund is the tycoon who made a huge fortune during the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and even controlled half of South Korea's financial and banking industry.

And the methods they used at that time were exactly the same as those used to help Greece now.

It's just that the Koreans had no choice at that time and were stupid, so they were fooled and handed over their country's financial lifeline. It was not until the rise of consortiums such as Samsung and LG in recent years that things got better.

Now they are doing their same tricks again. Greece is not so easy to deceive.

Although the Greeks are not good at economics, when it comes to intrigues, Greece, which also has thousands of years of history, is not lacking.

They also have smart people who can see at a glance the sinister intentions contained in this rescue plan.

If Greece agrees to this plan, then from now on Greece's finance will be under the control of the International Monetary Fund. How Greeks use money, how to make money, how to invest, how to get loans, how to do business, as long as it is finance-related matters, will

It requires the approval of the International Monetary Fund, which is equivalent to the behind-the-scenes controllers of Greece.

How is this possible?

Although I am already in dire straits, it is not the turn of a mere banking organization like you to take control!

There are even more exaggerated ones.

Even before the Greek government rejected them, the people here heard the news and heard the experts on TV describing the conditions of the International Monetary Fund. They suddenly became angry and angry. They once again showed off their best tricks and took to the streets to march.

, Protests and demonstrations were very noisy.

It is impossible for them to accept such harsh conditions. When the time comes, others will have to limit how much bread they eat a day. What fun is there in life?

Greece could only make an immediate decision, cleanly rejecting the International Monetary Fund, and then immediately turned around and asked the European Union for a bailout.

The EU is rich, but the problem is that it is not just Greece and your family that have problems, but also Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy. These countries are also miserable. If I want to help them all, Germany, the United Kingdom and France

It will be dragged down directly, and then the EU will no longer exist.

Therefore, the EU has no way to take action and can only give some appropriate charity. What? For example, a salary of several hundred million euros like before, even if it is already helping.

This situation has continued, and the Greeks cannot see any hope at all in their depression, so their marches and demonstrations not only have not stopped, but have become more and more frequent.

It wasn't until March 12 that a nationwide general strike broke out across all industries in Greece. Millions of Greek people took to the streets to protest against the government's inaction and demanded that the government take measures to effectively improve their lives.

environment.

Watching the lively scenes on TV, Xiao Qi couldn't help but sigh.

If the Greeks had put the energy of the strike into their own work, I am afraid their economy would have improved a long time ago, and the people's living standards would have improved a lot!

It's a pity that so many years of affluent life in the Eurozone have made them extremely lazy. They knew they would just sit back and receive various subsidies from the state, but they never thought of creating more wealth with their own hands.

Of course, Xiao Qi is not only paying attention to them, but also paying attention to Greece's next decision.

Sure enough, on that night local time in Greece, the Greek government hastily launched a series of economic revitalization plans.

They sold all domestic airports, military bases, ports, public facilities, islands and other state-owned assets and put them on the market.

Generally speaking, it means "sell all assets that can be exchanged for money and use them for the expenses of the country and the people."

It is indeed quite emotional for a country to reach this point.

But Xiao Qi couldn't help but smile when he saw the price at which they sold these state-owned assets.

The Greeks are still not practical enough. Compared with the current market price, this price is actually the same!

Do you think these capitalists are all fools?

No matter how charitable a businessman is, it is impossible for him to be compassionate in this kind of transaction with the country!

When Greece is in such a difficult situation, of course the only way to take advantage of the situation is to take advantage of the situation, and it is absolutely impossible to offer help in times of crisis. How can it be possible to buy your assets at full price?

They are all sharpening their knives and are always ready to kill Greece. How can they buy it in a hurry now?

Unless the price drops to 40 to 50% of the original normal market price, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to be willing to sell it!

Xiao Qi has no interest in Greece's sensitive assets, such as those related to military affairs and ports.

But Xiao Qi is very interested in Greek islands.

Greece is a small country next to the Mediterranean Sea. They have a long coastline. There are more than 7,000 large and small islands in the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea. It can be said that there are many islands.

Because the coastline near Greece has plenty of sunshine, beautiful scenery, and a very poetic and picturesque scenery under the blue sky and blue waves, it has always been liked by people.

Some of the islands that have been developed now have also been doing a lot of tourism business in recent years, and the business is not bad, and they have gradually become a pillar industry in the local area.

However, in the past two years, the subprime mortgage crisis, financial crisis and debt crisis have erupted continuously. Europeans who are accustomed to swiping credit cards have already tightened their wallets and dare not spend in advance. Therefore, the Greek island tourism industry has also been greatly affected.

In Xiao Qi's impression, Greece's tourism industry had not improved much even in 2013.

A big reason is that Greece is too far away from China and too unfamiliar, so the rich and wealthy people in China are not willing to go there, and then they directly overwhelm the Maldives and let the Maldives make money.

Get a lot of money.

Xiao Qi didn't know if others were interested in buying islands in Greece, but he himself was interested in buying some small islands for investment. After all, many islands in Greece have very good conditions, definitely no worse than the Maldives.

There are still many problems now.

First, Greece has not really reached the point of exhaustion, so the price of islands is still a bit high. A small island of 100 acres is sold for 8 million euros. If it is a large island with a radius of two or three kilometers, the price is even higher.

It's as high as more than 200 million euros. This is purely treating the buyers as fat sheep.

The second point is that in addition to a series of fees for purchasing an island, you need to pay taxes to the Greek government every year when purchasing an island, and the tax rate is as high as 8% to 12%. This means that the high taxes will cost your island for ten years.

, more than ten years is equivalent to buying an island again, why should I?

As for the opening fees, maintenance fees, etc., that's a trivial matter. If you want to enjoy the beauty of these islands, you have to pay more. This is normal.

So Xiao Qi still needs to wait, at least for one or two years, until Greece can no longer hold on, and then Xiao Qi will go to negotiate with them.

I believe the Greek government will also treat the chips to purchase at least 50 medium and large islands and hundreds of small islands with caution!

It doesn’t matter if the purchase price is high, the key is that the tax rate must be lowered. The international tax rate is generally 3% to 5%, but the Greek government is so difficult, I believe it is okay to give Xiao Qi a discount of about 2%, right?

What's more, Xiao Qi also wants to open some islands as tourist resorts, hire so many people to help take care of the islands, and stimulate the local economy. This is also something that the Greek government needs to consider.

For Xiao Qi, buying islands everywhere is actually more about the Chinese people's love for land and fixed assets.

In fact, the cost of these islands is still very high, and before they are opened and before they are full of guests, no one knows whether the islands used for tourism can make money like the Maldives.

Only when the island expenses of the Xiao family can be supported by those tourist islands can this business be considered a success.

Otherwise, if you keep investing money in it just for fun, I am afraid that the descendants of the Xiao family will not be so happy with the expenses in Europe. It is much compared to the Maldives. The Maldives is cheaper and there is no tax.

What's more, it's very close to China, how great! (To be continued.)
