Yang Xu’s casual remark.
Left the viewers in the livestream dumbfounded.
【One cent can buy three mu of land? Is it still possible to buy it now? Waiting online, very urgent.】
【Bro in front, this transaction took place in 1867, more than a hundred years ago. It’s even called the ‘most absurd’ purchase in history.】
【Our house price is an average of 18,000 yuan per square meter here, and school district housing is even more expensive! Alaska is abundant in resources, how could it be sold so cheaply?】
Actually.
Yang Xu’s so-called one cent for three mu of land was calculated.
If you use the ratio of US cents to acres.
It should be two US cents per acre.
And one acre equals 6.07 mu of land.
Even if it’s one square kilometer, it only costs 5 US dollars…
It’s ridiculously cheap!
After confirming the route, Yi Ying set the Yunfan to cruise at a constant speed.
Then she YYGQed to the viewers in the livestream:
“No way, no way, there’s no way someone really doesn’t know that Alaska was sold by the Bear Country to the Eagle Sauce Country, right?”
Anyway, these silly netizens often make fun of her.
Yi Ying is also considered to be ‘returning the favor’.
After passing through the barren Aleutian Islands.
Alaska was just around the corner.
Yang Xu said, “Back then, the Eagle Sauce Country spent 7.2 million US dollars to buy this piece of land from the Bear Country. At that time, the attitude of both sides was very intriguing.”
“On one hand, the House of Representatives of the Eagle Sauce Country believed that Alaska was an extremely cold wasteland. The 7.2 million was considered a waste of money, a huge loss!”
“On the other hand, the Bear Country sold the uninhabited wasteland for millions of dollars. They were still very happy to think they had gotten a good deal.”
【7.2 million US dollars in 1867 should be worth a lot, right?】
【That’s based on the fact that Alaska hasn’t been developed. Such a treasure land, it’s a pity~】
【I guess even today, the Bear Country’s guts are turning green with regret.】
【That’s for sure. Deep-sea king crabs, gold mines and oil, Alaska is rich in everything! Plus vast swathes of primitive ecological circles! They are making a killing, okay!】
Yang Xu couldn’t help but shake his head and think.
If he had traveled back to more than a hundred years ago.
He would have sold everything he had to buy such cheap land!
He then said to the viewers in the livestream:
“The Eagle Sauce Country has 10 national forest parks, and Alaska accounts for 70%.”
“It has three thousand rivers, three million lakes, and a coastline that stretches for 57,718 kilometers.”
“Perhaps a hundred years ago, humans wouldn’t value these resources, but now, they are all treasures.”
【My goodness! Over 50,000 kilometers of coastline. Those inland countries without any ports are going to be envious.】
【This is probably the most cost-effective business in the world!】
Yi Ying picked up the conversation and said:
“Of course, what made the Bear Country heartbroken was that, 20 years later, the Eagle Sauce Country gradually discovered large amounts of gold mines in Alaska! They also extracted a huge amount of oil! Alaska king crabs, these seafood comparable to gold, don’t even need to be mentioned.”
Ahem~
Yang Xu coughed gently.
Then he leaned in and said to Yi Ying’s ear:
“We’re already attracting a little bit of international attention now. Don’t say anything extra.”
Yi Ying smiled sweetly and said:
“I understand what you mean. If there are any viewers from the Bear Country in the livestream, they are going to be heartbroken.”
Although most of the viewers in the livestream are currently from Xia Country.
After hearing about these little tidbits of knowledge about Alaska.
They all feel sorry for the Bear Country.
To this day.
Alaska has also become a strategic weapon deployment location for the Eagle Sauce Country.
And what those weapons are aimed at and defending against.
Is the former owner of this land, the Bear Country…
Ah~
Over a hundred years ago, those 7.2 million US dollars.
Brought about joy for one party and sorrow for another.
Yi Ying changed the topic and said:
“Let’s not talk about the Bear Country’s heartache and tears. Brother Xu, can we pan for gold in Alaska on this ship? Maybe we’ll get rich!”
Yang Xu smiled and replied: “You’re dreaming.”
Yi Ying hummed and hawed for a long time, but couldn’t organize a good rebuttal.
This man doesn’t talk sweetly at all~
Humph!
At this moment, Yang Xu was only concerned about reaching Alaska.
The second check-in location of 【Global Check-in】will be completed.
I wonder what kind of rich rewards there will be then!
At the same time.
When Yi Ying was confirming local sea conditions and other news information.
She suddenly discovered something interesting!
“Brother Xu, there’s a big discovery!”
This sentence of hers.
Made the viewers in the livestream very curious!
