Chapter 110 Residential House
"Floating islands can not only be used to build residential buildings, but also to Floating Island. Perhaps our cinemas, theaters, and even shopping malls and supermarkets can also be moved to Floating Island in the future." Li Xiang's plan to develop the ocean is not only residential, "Each floating island is a piece of mobile land. There are no need to have more floating islands. If there are ten or eight in size of 100,000 square meters, it will be similar to our land area!"
"How much does this cost!" Lei Shi, who attended the meeting, sighed.
This kind of floating island plan does not need to be kept confidential. Many people have similar plans, but they are blocked by money.
Although a 100,000-square-meter civilian floating island may only cost hundreds of millions of dollars to be built, this amount is still not a small amount compared to the land transformation cost.
Those small and poor countries do not need floating islands, and those old and big countries have their own colonies and secretly supported puppet governments do not need these floating islands to implement strategic goals. Even the Chinese mainland adopts step-by-step approach, expanding outward little by little, and will not be ambitious to use floating islands to extend their hands into the ocean first.
There are Americans who dominate the sea. Who is blind and dares to put such a huge target on the sea?
If it is really purely for civil use, how can I find some land to build a house? In time, those poor and bankrupt small island countries also have a large amount of idle land, not to mention those big countries that can afford to build floating islands. Only Taiping countries can really not find idle land, and Li Xiang has a special case of a lot of money to pay.
Even if such a plan is leaked, it will at most cause others to sigh like thunderstones, lamenting the luxury and courage of Taiping Kingdom, and may even glorify the Taiping Kingdom for the business opportunities contained in it.
"But there is no problem with floating island residences or floating island casinos. But floating island airports can easily attract Americans' attention, and some of the gains are not worth the cost!" Lei Shi continued.
How could he not know his identity awkward, so he needed to make suggestions from the standpoint of Taiping Kingdom.
"Well, our floating island airport will not be put into use for the time being until diplomacy is handled well!" Li Xiang nodded.
As soon as this floating island airport appears, it is probably equivalent to a foreign aircraft carrier parked in the US defense zone, which is certain that it caused the Americans to rebound, and no one could predict the consequences.
Li Xiang didn't dare to take risks, so he got on the horse blindly. Only by doing diplomacy first and testing the Americans' tone can he be equipped.
"It's an American again!" Lin Feihu said depressedly.
Li Xiang was also a little depressed by the sorrow of the small country, but the confidence of the space and earth still made him wake up quickly and said decisively: "At this time, we will continue to strengthen our strength. As long as we have a certain ability to protect ourselves, even if Americans have any objections, our floating island runway will still be put into use, and there is no need to act according to their faces!"
...
Only a few people at the top of the high-level people know about the matter. No one in other Taiping people cares about the discussion on Fu Island and population housing issues. They are now immersed in the joy of the projects completed one after another on Taiping Island.
The residential projects in Taiping Kingdom were first completed.
The houses on Taiping Island and those in China and other countries are provided free of charge by Taiping Kingdom or Li Xiang, just like the free house distribution in China before, which is one of the national welfare benefits.
This also means that the property rights of these houses do not belong to ordinary people. But if you want to buy a house by yourself and want to own your own house, the relevant departments of Taiping Kingdom can help them purchase them around the world.
Real estate is also a way for Li Xiang to launder money. He has divided multiple shadow companies to control more than 10,000 large and small houses around the world. In addition, it can continue to increase housing according to the preferences of Taiping residents. Relevant institutions have become intermediary institutions that make Taiping citizens want to own a house entirely. Some people even need villas and farms, and these institutions can also help.
However, the free welfare housing allocation in Taiping Country has already satisfied many people and are not in a hurry to own their own house.
The houses on Taiping Island are basically similar to those of hotel-style apartments. They just lack hotel services involving private rooms such as room cleaning. However, there are laundry, catering and other services, and even food delivery services. Each set has an independent bathroom and kitchen. At most, the smallest room is similar to a single dormitory, but such dormitory is a single room and does not need to be shared with others.
Even this smallest room is 40 square meters, with a separate bathroom and kitchen, a large floor-to-ceiling window facing the sea and enjoying the sun, which has satisfied many domestic slings.
Each citizen can at least get a room like this, which is generally suitable for temporary residence for singles and couples. Generally, couples, or elderly people and children, have an increase in family population, and have larger single buildings and residential areas, but they can basically ensure that each citizen has an average living area of no less than 30 square meters.
In each room, some simple furniture is provided for free, so you can live in it by simply cleaning it up.
Moreover, people live in these rooms without paying rent. Only property management fees such as water, electricity, sanitation, etc., which are almost the same as those in China, maintaining normal operation.
Li Xiang's regulations won the support of the people of Taiping Kingdom, but gave Wang Mingyang and others a headache.
Taiping Island is not large in area, with a total area of less than one million square meters. Even if it is built, a large amount of land is needed to solve the problem of residential problems. What's more, the buildings on Taiping Island generally do not exceed 5 floors, and the first floor of those buildings is basically uninhabited, mainly used as commercial housing. Even the second floor is used as commercial housing. If most roofs were not built into roof gardens or vegetable gardens, the green area of Taiping Island would have been greatly reduced.
In this way, if there are 20,000 permanent residents on Taiping Island, it will appear crowded and needs to be revised for living conditions.
When everyone returned at the end of March, the permanent population of Taiping Island had exceeded 1,600 migrant workers.
If migrant workers and ordinary civilians did not need to follow this standard and could live in dormitories for multiple people, I am afraid that the number of houses built now may not meet the living needs. However, the gap between the honor values of civilians and citizens in Taiping Country at this time is very small. Now more than 2,000 single civilians on the island can quickly save up their honor points and become citizens.
Migrant workers will continue to build houses, and as the population continues to increase, the number of houses will probably soon spread throughout the island.
Although Taiping Island is located at about 30 degrees north latitude and is close to the sea, it is not necessary to pursue sunshine, but it is impossible to arrange the place where people live in dark caves and underground. Even if a dungeon is added, it cannot solve the problem of sparse living area on the island, so Li Xiang had to start the floating island residence first.
In a short period of time, the residences on Taiping Island are not very stressful.
The residents who can stay on the island are mainly the army and those engaged in related industries. As the number of troops gradually reaches saturation, the construction on the island has been completed one after another, reducing the number of migrant workers. The scale of 10,000 people will definitely last for a period of time. Many people may not need to have relatively fixed rooms on the island to be transferred back to China or other places to work. There are also a large number of families who still live in China and other countries and regions, which has also reduced some of the pressure.
Chapter completed!
