Chapter 573
On the 20th, Li Shixian, the representative of the Kuwait royal family and Ji Feng, signed the "Memorandum of Understanding on the Kuwait Leasing Agreement" in Kuwait City. This time, the two sides quickly reached an agreement at a miraculous speed. Neither the Kuwait royal family nor the Kingdom of New Zealand were more serious about the details...
According to the Memorandum of Understanding, Kuwait will be affiliated with the Kingdom of New Zealand for the next 999 years from now on, and all affairs within the territory will be decided by the Government of the Kingdom of New Zealand. Even except for the Kuwait Palace, the Kingdom of New Zealand did not leave them any other place in order to punish the greed of the Kuwait royal family, and even the royal family will no longer bear the costs.
However, the Kuwait royal family does not have to worry. The Kingdom of New Zealand has made it clear in the memorandum that if they really can't live, they will take out 1% of their fiscal revenue each year as the cost of the Kuwait royal family, but the maximum limit will not exceed S$500 million. As for the dinar in Kuwait, I'm sorry that the next step will be gradually replaced by S$$, which is already being implemented in Cyprus, and the effect is still quite good at present.
After Cyprus completely drove North and South out of Cyprus from Cyprus Island after a war between the north and the south, the original Cyprus people basically did not resist the rule of the Kingdom of New Zealand, including monetary reform, and many people even welcomed it. At least the strength of the Kingdom of New Zealand has been proven in this war.
Moreover, the Kingdom of New Zealand granted the right to autonomy in Cyprus. Although it is nominally leased by the Kingdom of New Zealand, everything is not much different from the original one.
Perhaps it was because of the freedom of Cyprus that the Kuwait royal family quickly made the final decision after being threatened. Although the degree of freedom of Kuwait is not as good as Cyprus at present, it is not so absolute. Li Shixian showed unworthiness. Although it is not so obvious, it still made the representatives of the Kuwait royal family feel that Kuwait is not valued much in Ji Feng's eyes. The reason why he must get it is just that he is annoying that they are half-hearted.
After resolving the leasing of Kuwait, all the island leases and ownership agreements in Ji Feng's hands have been implemented, and the New Zealand government immediately announced the latest administrative divisions.
Only then did countries around the world realize that the United States had transferred all the islands in the Pacific to the Kingdom of New Zealand. In fact, these islands are quite useless to the current United States. After the largest Hawaiian Islands recognized the ownership agreement on their own, other islands had lost their strategic significance to the United States.
Not to mention that the United States was unable to feed these islands at this time, and many of them are now in New Zealand's sphere of influence and are unable to take care of themselves in the local area. The US government is indeed better to let these islands play a final role.
In addition to Palau's automatic surrender. After the re-planning of the New Zealand government, the Kingdom of New Zealand added a Mariana province, covering famous islands such as Guam, Palau, Saipan, and other islands. Naturally, the Mariana Islands and trenches are also within its scope. The province's main economy is rich in fishery and tourism resources. In addition, a large number of remaining Mid-army facilities, even if some of them were damaged, can be completely restored to their original appearance. I believe that it will attract many tourists from all over the world to visit.
At the same time, more than 70 million people in North America arrived at the Los Angeles security zone. And by Carl Morros' default, a temporary army of about 50,000 people was allowed to expand the security zone to 150 kilometers, so that more people could be accommodated to stay here temporarily.
At this time, the global Internet did not stop operating due to a complete power outage in North America. Apart from the two in the UK and Sweden, only the root server in the Kingdom of New Zealand played the most important use.
The icann management agency has completely lost its role in this alien invasion. Taking advantage of the United States' time to take care of itself, the Celestial Empire, Russia and the United Kingdom brought the Kingdom of New Zealand to comprehensively evaluate the performance of three root servers on the grounds of safeguarding the interests of global Internet users, especially almost all Internet domain name resolution services in the world. After verification, technical experts from many countries found that almost all of them were analyzed by the servers of the Kingdom of New Zealand. Finally, the root server of the Kingdom of New Zealand was chosen as the global main root server. The UK and Sweden will set it as auxiliary servers.
At the same time, the Celestial Empire and Russia will each strengthen one auxiliary server, and under the strong demand of the Brazilian and South American governments, they will also set up one auxiliary server in each of the two countries to share the pressure on the main root server.
The 20th has to be said to be a surprising day. In addition to the official signing of the rental agreement in Kuwait, the world-renowned wealthy people Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Larry Page, Jim Walton, Christy Walton and Alice Walton officially submitted immigration applications to the Kingdom of New Zealand Immigration Bureau.
Although three of the five world-renowned wealthy people came from the Walton family, the Immigration Bureau officials attached great importance to the naturalization applications of five people, especially the five people have a great influence around the world. Therefore, they immediately made an appointment with members of the five people or the five people's families, and the news was reported directly to Ji Feng.
When Ji Feng heard the reminder from his mobile phone to check it, he was slightly surprised. No matter how the five people considered it, I believe that all countries in the world would not mind applying for the five people to naturalization. Even if the US economy was completely over, the five people might have fallen from the top 20 world-renowned wealthy people to unknown amounts, but at least the ability of the five people is still fine.
Especially the top three, one is the president of Microsoft, one is the president of Oracle, the world's largest database company, and the other is the president of Walmart, the world's largest retailer. No matter what their purpose is, once they join the Kingdom of New Zealand, the tax they will bring to the Kingdom in the future will be difficult for anyone to refuse.
However, Ji Feng can also understand the five people's approach. The economic and military strength of the Kingdom of New Zealand has been proven through many battles and the visa-free agreement signed with 137 countries around the world. Moreover, the five people were able to choose the Kingdom of New Zealand because they had a familiar life and cultural environment in Oceania. They not only wanted to use the Kingdom of New Zealand as a safe haven, but also saw that the Kingdom of New Zealand will be the best country for world economic development in the next few years.
Having the nationality of the Kingdom of New Zealand almost means having a global market, and even a broader unknown market in the future, because the world's most mysterious access to the unknown world is located in the Palawan Special Administrative Region.
If the first two software developers might be trying to find a safe haven, then the three members of the Walton family definitely have accurate eyes.
After accompanying Deputy Prime Minister Benny Atel to meet with five people, the director of the Immigration Bureau also proved Ji Feng's speculation that the first two applicants applied for naturalization were Canberra Special District, while the last three applicants applied for naturalization were Kota Kinabalu City, Sabah, because it is the closest place to the Palawan Special District.
And Jim Walton intends to set up Walmart's global headquarters in Ranong City, Kra Province. There is no way, who makes it the fastest growing place for the world's emerging economy? With the trial navigation of the Kra Canal, the various ships coming and going here every day have allowed all eye-catching people to see the huge business opportunities hidden here, and even more so that the future of this place is vast and convenient logistics.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Immigration Bureau of the Kingdom of New Zealand successfully approved the investment immigration application for five people, and all the family members of the five people also obtained the status of the Kingdom of New Zealand. In view of the fact that the five people decided to give up their American nationality, the Immigration Bureau specially applied for a special residential land for the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the Ministry of Homeland Security for the five people, allowing the five people to obtain a residential land of no more than 10 square kilometers without affecting the planning.
Don’t think that these 10 square kilometers are not big. They are indeed incomparable to their original home in the United States, but don’t forget that this is the Kingdom of New Zealand. No one in the country can surpass them at present. Even Ji Feng’s two island masters’ mansions do not have such a large area, let alone Ji Feng’s dozens of the most veteran subordinates.
Of course, the Immigration Bureau is not only interested in their wealth and ability, but also in the influence brought by their immigration applications. Sometimes a good start always makes people feel so wonderful.
Sure enough, with the five people's investment immigration being passed on the same day, and after the big reports on Island Network, Tengxun Network and Jeju TV, many wealthy people around the world were tempted. The benefits that Bill and the others could see were not stupid. Therefore, the immigration bureau, which was originally crowded with long queues of immigration applications, instantly increased more and more applicants for investment immigration. In the meantime, Bufan gave up his original nationality and decided that his whole family would immigrate to the Kingdom of New Zealand and only retain the nationality of the Kingdom of New Zealand.
The difference between the green citizen ID card and the blue ID card in the Kingdom of New Zealand is obvious. Apart from what has been reported before, the most tangled thing among the rich is the tax preferential range.
For example, personal income tax is not less than in any country. The United States can reach up to 30%, while the Kingdom of New Zealand has a single nationality of only 20%, while the dual or multiple nationality of people must reach up to 35%, even after the discount, it cannot be less than 20%. This is one of the biggest reasons why all Bill and the other five apply for single citizenship.
As a world-renowned wealthy man, personal income tax is not a little bit paid, often hundreds of millions of dollars, even if it is a percentage point away, it is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. No one is willing to pay more if it is less. What's more, the United States has completely entered the economic abyss at this time, and there is no need to keep it. (To be continued...)
