Sea Breeze — мыльный пузырь? Владелец квартир из Израиля отвечает | По душам

0:07Greetings to you , dear viewers . With

0:09you is Faris Ashurov and the author's

0:12program " Heart to Heart . " I apologize

0:14to all my subscribers for wearing a

0:16mask . I am currently undergoing active

0:19dental treatment and will soon be

0:21dazzling you with my smile . Today we

0:23are in Sea Breeze , visiting my good

0:27friend Rafael . He was born and raised

0:31in Azerbaijan , and in ninety-four , when

0:34he was 22 , he moved to Israel . He is a

0:38quite successful businessman who

0:41returned to Azerbaijan and bought

0:44property here — or rather , is the happy

0:47owner of an apartment in Sea Breeze at

0:50the Marina Village . Yes , the keyword

0:56here is " happy , " because having become

0:59the president of Sea Breeze and the

1:02Marina Village complex , I am , uh ,

1:05immensely happy , and I really love

1:08everything here .

1:11Tell me , you left in ninety-four , when

1:14did you start visiting Azerbaijan again

1:16? Let's start with that . I started

1:20visiting Azerbaijan , let's say , about

1:2310 years ago . And to the extent that I

1:28kept coming here , I grew more and more

1:32fond of this beauty . And besides , this

1:35is the motherland . In any case , uh ,

1:37there is a motherland and there is a

1:39second homeland . That's why I really

1:42like everything here . By the way , thank

1:46you very much for feeling that way .

1:49Actually , for many Jews who were born

1:51— and not just Jews , but those who

1:53grew up in Azerbaijan — Azerbaijan will

1:55always be their first motherland . The

1:59fact is that it so happened that my

2:02mother is Jewish and my father is

2:04Azerbaijani , so with the surname

2:06Huseynov , I feel great both in Israel

2:09and in Azerbaijan . Uh ,

2:12I have the same story and the surname

2:14Ashurov . Yes ,

2:16wonderful . Uh , first of all , thank you

2:20very much for the invitation . We are

2:23now in mid-September , which means it is

2:26the end of the season . Despite that ,

2:30everything is still quite active here .

2:33There were many cars in the evening .

2:36Some people , Israelis , even drove up to

2:38us and asked where they could take a

2:40walk . There . Yes . And it's all so

2:43interesting . Tell me , please , how did

2:46you make the decision to buy an

2:48apartment here , and was the whole

2:50procedure difficult ? Uh , there was no

2:54difficulty in the procedure . Everything

2:57was quite simple and , uh , without any

3:01problems . The decision-making . Uh ,

3:05first of all , I wanted to have property

3:08in my motherland , and , uh , it probably

3:11served as my , let's say , uh , the advice

3:19of my classmate , who said : " Rafa , get

3:24something small in Baku . It's your

3:28motherland , you were born and raised

3:30here . "

3:31Well , he is also from Baku , I

3:32understand , right ? Yes , he is in Baku .

3:35He is my classmate and I followed his

3:38advice and I don’t regret anything . I

3:42am only glad and happy .

3:44Look , actually , I want to give a little

3:48spoiler , dear subscribers , we spent

3:50quite a long time talking with Rafael

3:53yesterday evening , and I really want to

3:57recreate our conversation from

3:59yesterday . So , how do you see the

4:03future of Sea Breeze for our

4:05subscribers ? This is an important

4:09question , because some people who buy

4:11apartments , I read comments online ,

4:13think it’s a bubble . You and I talked

4:17about this topic yesterday . I want you

4:20to try to repeat yesterday’s thesis ,

4:23and I will add my opinion , so that our

4:26subscribers at least understand what we

4:29think . Well , as you’ve noticed , I am

4:34a businessman and I know how to

4:36calculate . Therefore , before I made the

4:40final decision to purchase real estate

4:44here , I studied the growth dynamics of

4:48real estate in Baku , and in Sea Breeze

4:52in particular .

4:54I will tell the subscribers , I won’t

4:55reveal the secret , but Rafael owns more

4:57than one apartment , let’s put it that

4:59way . Decide to emphasize this : I see

5:04huge potential in Sea Breeze . After

5:10checking the dynamics and familiarizing

5:14myself with the master plan for the

5:18construction of Sea Breeze , I clearly

5:22understand Emin Agalarov’s

5:25well-structured development , which is

5:30controlled and proceeds on schedule ,

5:34strictly according to plan , without any

5:39hitches .

5:41Well , look , following plans step by

5:43step doesn’t mean the project is

5:44successful , does it ? I mean , you could

5:47plan a project for a decade , like

5:49building a railway , let's say . And

5:50nothing might come of it .

5:53I will say that huge attention is being

5:56paid to infrastructure . In this case ,

6:01that is what contributes to attracting

6:05investment . I also see how the

6:09government is helping ; for example , a

6:12direct road has been built to Sea

6:15Breeze . State structures are

6:19participating and helping in every way ;

6:24when the geopolitical and economic

6:28situation is favorable to this project ,

6:33this project ... About the infrastructure

6:38, by the way , I agree with you . We were

6:40just discussing what gorgeous palm

6:42trees are on the territory of Marina

6:44Village . Just so you understand , palm

6:47trees of this size , they are clearly

6:49not two or three years old , probably

6:51twenty or thirty years old for sure .

6:54Yes . This part here , it is not — not

6:57quite the largest part of the

7:00infrastructure that , let's say , the

7:02investor , the main investor , has . And

7:07by the way , the Galar names always

7:09emphasize the theme of landscaping in

7:11all their interviews , right ? I

7:13understand it is a priority in this

7:15project .

7:15Yes , I was familiar with this area just

7:192-2.5 years ago . Basically , we came

7:22here with a group of Israelis to see

7:25where the projects would be and what .

7:27And apart from sand , I didn't see

7:30anything else here . That was 2 years

7:34ago . Today , it is a luxurious complex

7:37with a marina , yachts , a yacht club ,

7:40and restaurants . I mean , by Israeli

7:45standards , let's say , by Israeli

7:48construction timelines , this is

7:51incomparable . And I see this proves

7:55once again how the master plan will

7:58also be implemented on schedule in the

8:02future and what kind of projects should

8:05be here and will be here . And I truly

8:09believe in this . If I knew and believed

8:12it back then , today I not only believe ,

8:15I also know that it will definitely be

8:18this way and no other .

8:21You know , people usually say that any

8:23investment is passive income , right ?

8:27Right now , well , no need to name

8:29figures , but first of all , as a

8:31businessman , do you regret buying it

8:33and have you moved away from passive

8:35income ? Let's just say , the complex is

8:39new , so we received the apartments in

8:42the middle of summer and while all this

8:44was being equipped . That is

8:46no , I mean , you know , I understand you

8:48bought this at the excavation stage ,

8:50right , when laying the foundation ,

8:52right ,

8:52and prices , actually , have gone up ,

8:54right ? So , in terms of margin ,

8:56naturally , naturally , prices have risen

8:59by about 60-65 % from that initial price

9:03at the excavation stage . Which was

9:07fixed at the very beginning .

9:10Even for our followers , I will say , we

9:12were just discussing the Caspian

9:13Dreamliner recently . There . Yes , and

9:17Rafael says that when he planned to buy

9:20an apartment here , the Caspian

9:21Dreamliner was still just a project ,

9:23the price started from 4,000-4,500 , yes

9:28. At that time , it seemed very

9:30expensive to me . Then it rose

9:33exponentially until it reached today's

9:3612.2 . Right ? And this is not a huge

9:40secret . We are not revealing any cards

9:42here . It is the truth , right ? So , a

9:43person who bought at that time

9:46for that price , you understand , it is

9:47much more profitable than buying

9:49Bitcoin was , right ? That is , there , 3

9:51years ago . Therefore , in principle , the

9:56capitalization of the real estate I

9:59acquired is growing . And I very

10:05Now I will tell you my position , why I

10:07like Sea Breeze and , actually , why our

10:09viewers like it . Yes , I left Azerbaijan

10:12in 1998 , and you understand , I was 18

10:15years old , I didn’t understand all of

10:19this back then . And I even , yes ,

10:22unfortunately for me , forgot the

10:25Azerbaijani mentality . For many years ,

10:28if I came here for weddings for 2-3

10:29days , I didn’t really see any of this

10:31. And when I came here for this longer

10:35stay , I realized that the people here

10:38are special . The land here is special

10:41in general . Everything here , from the

10:44food to the respect on the street , the

10:47safety — all of this , as they say , is

10:50my own .

10:52Absolutely correct . I just want to add ,

10:56we humans have both an external and an

11:00internal perception . What we see , what

11:05we hear , and what we feel . I want to

11:09say that the territory of Sea Breeze ,

11:12personally for me , provides such peace

11:17of mind . The energy here is wonderful .

11:21I feel very good here . These are , in a

11:25way , internal sensations . I’m sharing

11:28them because it’s very pleasant and

11:30good for me here , on the inside . Not so

11:34much from the luxury and beauty , but

11:36from the internal feeling that I

11:39experience here .

11:41I’ll tell you even more . Yes .

11:43Actually , when I arrived in Sea Breeze ,

11:45I had exactly the same feeling . I will

11:47explain why for several reasons . Before

11:49I started exploring Sea Breeze , the

11:53first time I came here , the first

11:55thought I had was that Emin broke the

11:58stereotypes ,

11:59and I wanted to be the biographer of

12:01all this . You know that 2.5 years ago I

12:04was actively coming here , filming , then

12:06I stopped . I’ll tell you about that

12:08now , too . We were just discussing this

12:10yesterday . What kind of stereotype do I

12:13mean ? For any Azerbaijani — by the way ,

12:16more than 80 % of apartment owners in Sea

12:19Breeze are not foreigners yet , it’s

12:22the local Azerbaijani market . What is

12:26the material dream of every Azerbaijani

12:29? An apartment , a car . And a dacha .

12:34What is a dacha ? Well , you and I — you

12:36are a little older than me , right ? Well

12:37, plus or minus , we all grew up in the

12:39Soviet Union . A dacha is a high , square

12:43fence , so the neighbors don't see you .

12:48It's a few fruit trees , so the child

12:50can eat an apple , a pear , see how a

12:52pomegranate grows . Two chickens to lay

12:56eggs , a grill , a house . At the same

13:00time , in my youth , all our neighbors

13:02and all our relatives would come over .

13:04We had three rooms . In one room , men

13:07would be stacked like cordwood .

13:09That’s how it was . In the second room

13:10, there's a woman with stacks of things

13:12. In the third room , there are children

13:13. Everyone had it like that . I mean ,

13:16the dacha was a kind of , yeah , it was a

13:18real party place in the summer . But now

13:23it’s a little different , I mean , yeah

13:25, people still have that dream . Well ,

13:27you see , let’s say , I have a wife and

13:30a child now , okay , I bought a dacha ,

13:33put in a pool , did a trendy renovation .

13:36So what ? I came for the weekend , well ,

13:39I’ll read a book , my child will be

13:41there alone without any interaction ,

13:43because people don't come over like

13:45they used to , with families and so on ,

13:47yeah , everyone’s different now .

13:49People's mentality has changed . Even in

13:52Azerbaijan , I’ll tell you , people

13:53have stopped visiting each other .

13:55Prices at restaurants are so low , well ,

13:58and it's easier to go to a restaurant

14:00and be served than for a woman to have

14:02that extra stress , so to speak .

14:04Absolutely right , Faris , I agree with

14:07you . The thing is , I , as a

14:09representative , and everyone else who

14:12buys property here , they aren't just

14:15buying the square footage they are sold

14:18. Exactly . Like , I ...

14:20They are buying large-scale

14:22infrastructure along with those meters .

14:26That’s restaurants , it’s

14:27entertainment for the kids . It’s the

14:31sea two meters from your home , it’s

14:35an amusement park , a water park , and

14:38all the amenities .

14:40Exactly . First of all , you realize that

14:42in Sea Breeze , people who have managed

14:44to earn money in our time can buy an

14:46apartment .

14:47Yes .

14:48Good for them . I mean , yeah . I don’t

14:50want to offend anyone . These aren't

14:52just budget workers , or someone , you

14:54know , like that , right ? I mean , these

14:57are people who are already established

14:59in the modern world . You’re buying

15:02living space , you’re buying your

15:04neighbors , you’re buying security .

15:07Right . Yes . There are cameras

15:08everywhere , right ? Just like this . I

15:11think they are ...

15:12Like a Christmas tree . Every pole is

15:14covered in these cameras . Yes . You’re

15:18buying entertainment , a sea view , pools

15:20, and security . You know your child

15:23will go downstairs , no one will bother

15:26them , they’ll find friends and , in

15:28principle , develop socially . You want

15:31some privacy , you go up to your room ,

15:33that’s it , I don’t see anyone , I

15:35don’t hear anyone , I just wanted to

15:36rest . Here you have a pub , a steakhouse

15:40, Russian baths , an amusement park , a

15:43water park , a circus , and everything

15:46else , all within walking distance .

15:48I want to give an example , uh ... this

15:53summer , my eldest son and two daughters

15:56. My two daughters spent two months

15:59vacationing here . I provided one of the

16:02apartments for their stay . They still

16:05don't ...

16:05May I add something ? Your girls were

16:07born and raised in Israel . They are

16:09Israeli .

16:09Israel . They are Israeli .

16:11Meaning they don't know the Azerbaijani

16:13language , nor our mentality . In these

16:15two months , they learned the

16:17Azerbaijani language . They made a bunch

16:20of friends here in Sea Breeze and drove

16:23golf carts around . The oldest is 18 ,

16:26the youngest is 16 . So , for teenagers

16:29and young people , life here was just

16:32bustling from start to finish . And they

16:36still reminisce , saying , " We want to go

16:38to Sea Breeze . " These two months left

16:41such an impression on their memory that

16:43they ask every time , " Dad , when are we

16:46going to Sea Breeze next ? "

16:48I'll add , for those planning to come in

16:51the summer , this is very important .

16:54Just recently , at the end of August ,

16:56around the 27th , my friends from Israel

16:59arrived and said , " Listen , we want to

17:01go out . " There were people who were

17:04born and raised in Azerbaijan , and

17:06Israelis who were in Azerbaijan for the

17:08first time , and they said , " We want to

17:10go to a nightclub . " They don't really

17:12understand Azerbaijani music . They

17:14specifically wanted that European house

17:16, deep house , and so on . That exact

17:19kind of club . They called me , asking

17:23where to go . I started calling my

17:25acquaintances . They said , " Listen , you

17:28know , everything is closed , everything

17:30in the city . " Foma , all those trendy

17:34clubs .

17:36But when the guys drove up , we directed

17:39them here , of course ; in the summer ,

17:43all that entertainment and such simply

17:46migrates to Sea Breeze . Yes . Well ,

17:50I think with the opening of the casino

17:54here , there will be plenty of action in

17:57the other months as well . As soon as

17:59the casino opens , we're coming here .

18:01Let's do it , Dimcheka .

18:02All right .

18:04Tell me , look , honestly , Rafal and I

18:08met — I’ll repeat — when I was

18:11filming my last story about Sea Breeze ,

18:15and it was about Yakub . Shall I tell

18:19you how it all started ? I mean , I told

18:22you that I wanted to see how those

18:24mentalities — you know , apartment , car ,

18:27summer house — Emin Agalarov is

18:29changing , how all of this would develop

18:31, and how people would accept it . I

18:35started filming all of this . I came

18:38here actively . At the time , I was just

18:40beginning my blogging career . Back then

18:43, this part was just like when you

18:45bought at the foundation stage , and I

18:46would come here to film at the

18:48construction site . Exactly . I mean , I

18:52liked the project itself , but I wanted

18:54to be noticed . That was my mistake .

18:57I’m telling the truth , you know ? I

18:58mean , I approached Emin Agalarov

19:01several times , asking for permission to

19:04film here . I was walking around here ,

19:05you know . I mean , I needed to , although

19:07I wasn't making any money from it . I

19:09never had any desire to earn money here

19:12. Well , it just so happened that ,

19:15I’ll tell you honestly , today I can

19:17say there are about 30 people whom I

19:19personally convinced to buy an

19:21apartment here . And I never asked for a

19:23percentage , I didn't ask for this , I

19:25didn't ask for that . And I had already

19:27found some contacts there . I won't name

19:29names , but it’s naturally not Emin

19:31Agalarov or his inner circle , it’s

19:34people who work for him , and they

19:36already know that , yes , I am who I am .

19:38We exchanged phone numbers , and then

19:41there was an event , the unveiling of

19:43Anar Mammadkhanov’s star — I wasn't

19:45invited . May God rest his soul , he was

19:47very worthy , I knew him personally . The

19:50unveiling of Anar Mammadkhanov’s star

19:51. I wasn't invited , I found out at the

19:54last moment , they sent me info , and I

19:56thought , look , I’m not asking you for

19:58money , for bread , for water , I come

20:00here on my own dime , I film it myself ,

20:02and I post it . At the same time , I

20:04truly admire it . I’m not saying

20:05anything bad about it . The opening of

20:08Jumeirah . They even let the press into

20:10certain places , but they didn't let me

20:12in . Even though , you know . And I asked

20:17Emin Agalarov for an interview . He told

20:21me that , yes , he would give one . He

20:23gave me his assistant's contact . I

20:24contacted him . They didn't even answer

20:26me . Although , I’ll tell you honestly ,

20:29I still dream of interviewing Emin

20:31Agalarov , not as a business owner , not

20:34as a fairly successful and wealthy

20:36person , but as someone roughly my age

20:38who was born and raised in Azerbaijan .

20:41And what was it like , what was his

20:43childhood like here ? You know , we would

20:45... I recently mentioned in my own

20:47interview how we used to make these

20:49skateboards out of wooden planks and

20:50bearings and ride them .

20:52We all did that and we all rode them .

20:54Yes .

20:55You on Polukhina , and me on Vidadi .

20:57Or how we played jump rope with the

20:58girls , you know ? I’m interested in

21:01his memories of that . And he , you know ,

21:04knew Muslim Magomayev personally ? He

21:06was little , and Muslim Magomayev held

21:08him on his lap . Those are the memories

21:10I want to get from him . No one else

21:12gives him interviews like this . I

21:14really want to here .

21:16I think there is a time and place for

21:19everything , Farit , and a season for

21:22every activity .

21:23So back then , let me finish , one second

21:25, sorry . I got offended by Sea Breeze

21:27back then , and I stopped . Rafael said

21:29to me a few months ago : " Listen , you

21:31shouldn't stop doing this . Do it for

21:34yourself . " You come here , and I come to

21:36visit Rafael , and I enjoy Sea Breeze .

21:39Now I realize that this is my hobby . I

21:42will continue to do it . And for all

21:44that , don't invite me , I don't care . I

21:47remain independent this way . I can talk

21:51about the pros and the cons , not to

21:54trash Sea Breeze , but so that people

21:57see them , and they can fix it all . That

22:01is the most important thing .

22:03Wonderful . Let's agree on this . Let's

22:05love Sea Breeze for no reason at all .

22:11When you love something without a

22:13reason , it's called unconditional love .

22:17It is the best kind .

22:19When you expect something in return ,

22:21sooner or later , disappointment comes .

22:24So , in order not to be disappointed ,

22:27love should be without reasons .

22:30Honestly , you know , when I realized

22:32this , I understood that it frees my

22:34hands . I can count , like with the golf

22:36cart back then , here ...

22:38Yes ,

22:39did I deceive you ? What did I deceive

22:41you about here ? Let's not , let's talk

22:44only about the good things . Only about

22:48the good things .

22:49No , let's talk about the shortcomings .

22:50What shortcomings do you see ? I will

22:52tell you too , so the viewers can really

22:54see that we are being sincere . I am a

22:58person who believes that when someone

23:02likes something or loves something , we

23:06humans are made in such a way that we

23:10practically don't notice the flaws . And

23:15conversely , we see flaws in people , and

23:18in shortcomings , in construction , only

23:21when we don't like something . That's

23:25why I initially proposed to you , let's

23:28love Sea Breeze . Let's ,

23:30I love it , but I won't talk about the

23:31flaws right now . Okay .

23:33Look , the first shortcoming and one of

23:35the most important ones . People come

23:38here as tourists . Not everyone stays at

23:40Sea Breeze right from the start . They

23:41stay in Baku . They don't have their own

23:45car . They order a taxi through the

23:48Yango or Bolt app . They don't enter the

23:51specific location , right , the exact one

23:53. They type " Sea Breeze . " They are

23:55brought to the central gate . They

23:58arrive there , the taxi drops them off .

24:01And that's it , they go to the central

24:04entrance and pay 50 manats . And 100 % of

24:06the visitors do exactly that .

24:09Accordingly , in the summer , especially

24:12on weekends , you get out of a taxi ,

24:15enter through the main entrance , and

24:18until you walk 4-5 km , you won't find a

24:21single sunbed . Golf carts , yes . I

24:23realize that after a while , there will

24:25be traffic problems with these golf

24:27carts . They are already , you know , in

24:29the summer , and they keep buying more

24:31and more of them . Why don't they just

24:33do it ? I know there's a children's

24:35train , but okay , just take some small

24:38minibus , paint it like a safari vehicle

24:40, or I don't know , make it an open

24:43convertible . Let it run every 15

24:46minutes around Sea Breeze and take

24:47people around for free . Uh , you're

24:52giving good ideas , in my opinion , for

24:55the management of Sea Breeze and for

24:58Agalarov's team , who will surely take

25:01this into account .

25:03Well , I really hope so , and it's

25:05strange they haven't done it yet ,

25:06because this is a real problem . Many

25:07people write to me saying , " We arrived

25:09and couldn't find a single sunbed . "

25:12Uh , it happens , it happens . But there

25:14are just some people who are always

25:16looking for flaws . They arrive and

25:18start looking for faults . That's

25:21that's not what I came to find , you

25:22understand , arriving for the first time

25:24, complaining about you . No , I'm not

25:26talking about you . I'm saying , in

25:28principle , uh , it's human nature to

25:30look for flaws . I believe that in the

25:35time allotted up to today , they have

25:40achieved huge results here . The results

25:46are huge . Uh , and you can be proud of

25:50that . The fact that , uh , in such

25:53established timeframes , uh , our Sea

25:59Breeze management ... and there are

26:01shortcomings , well , they exist , they

26:03can happen . The main thing is that they

26:06handle them . And surely , with every

26:10time , with every visit I make , I see

26:12that something more has been done ,

26:14something more has been done , something

26:16more has been done . Well , surely all

26:20these interviews and reports of ours

26:22will serve as a tool to make things

26:24even better , even more beautiful , even

26:27more convenient , and more comfortable .

26:30A question for you . Yes , Sea Breeze , a

26:32direct association with Emin Agalarov .

26:37As a businessman , how would you

26:39characterize him ?

26:43A man who has built a fantastic team ;

26:47behind him stands a team that acts , uh ,

26:51not always , well , it doesn't happen

26:55that it's 100 % , but the efficiency rate

26:59here is high . The guys are trying ; I

27:06see how , uh , what is associated with

27:09Emin Agalarov is , let's say , a figure

27:13who , uh , uh , uh stands at the front ,

27:22but behind him is a huge team that

27:24carries out , uh , construction functions

27:31of all these palms , everything , sewage

27:35issues , electrical power supply . There

27:40is a huge infrastructure here that is

27:43necessary . Well , somewhere , something ,

27:46sometime , something might glitch ,

27:48because an entire city is being built .

27:51This is not some separate little

27:54district or some separate complex . Uh ,

27:58this is , this is a huge , magnificent

28:01city awaiting us ahead . And a city , to

28:05which there will be no better city on

28:10the Caspian coast , in the entire

28:12Caspian , in all countries . I don’t

28:16think such an idea could ever really be

28:19realized at all . But here , it is

28:22happening .

28:23Now I will share my opinion too . Maybe

28:25you'll just agree with me or not . We

28:27discussed this yesterday . I’ll just

28:29repeat myself . People sometimes , when I

28:33had videos , I really admire Sea Breeze

28:35and consider Emin a titan . There . Yes ,

28:39in the good sense of the word . And

28:41people wrote in the comments , like , you

28:43know what , sucking up . There . Yes , like

28:46, I'm trying somewhere , I think , in

28:47Azerbaijan . I'm in Azerbaijan , like ,

28:49maybe he'll notice me . Of course , if he

28:51notices , I will be very glad , yes . I

28:52mean , from a purely professional point

28:55of view , as a specialist , but that's

28:57not the point , why I consider him a

29:00titan . Let’s look at a few points .

29:03Imagine , I was given an unlimited

29:06budget . Build whatever you want ,

29:08wherever you want . In any case , most

29:10likely , as a not-stupid person , I could

29:13build a team . By trial and error , I

29:16would build something . But the first

29:20floors , commercial real estate , I'd end

29:21up with junk , cheap markets ,

29:23incomprehensible stalls . I don’t have

29:26the contacts or authority for brands to

29:29come work with me . He managed , even at

29:32Sea Breeze , when the first building

29:34stood there , he managed to get

29:36McDonald's to work at a negative

29:38balance . Now Pizza Hut , Subway , I

29:41don’t know , all the brands . In his

29:44interview with Ksenia Sobchak , he said

29:46that for 10 years they persuaded Ralph

29:48Lauren , before the sanctions , to sell

29:50in their shopping center , to which they

29:52specially extended the metro in Russia .

29:56Yes , of course , the story ended sadly

29:58there , that 2 years after the start of

30:00sanctions they left , but he has direct

30:02contact . Meaning he can persuade them ,

30:05so the first floors aren't some

30:07непонятные no-name brands ,

30:09just taking , you know , as if ,

30:12uh , lighthouses , as he calls them ,

30:14anchors , I apologize , anchors .

30:16I’ll tell you one thing , Faris . The

30:20thing is , there are criteria for when a

30:24brand can enter a territory . For this ,

30:29again , I emphasize , a certain level of

30:32infrastructure is needed that meets the

30:34criteria of a given brand . Right now we

30:39are sitting across from a project that

30:42will be called Brabus . Brabus is a

30:46global brand . And today ,

30:48yes , we discussed how much they spent

30:51on the entrance group , you say ,

30:53on the lobby , on the lobby , the

30:55entrance lobby . I have information , I

30:59was told that about 3 million dollars

31:01will go just into the entrance lobby .

31:05For Israelis , I’ll say that in

31:06Azerbaijan , 3 million dollars is like

31:0810 or 15 million dollars spent in

31:10Israel ,

31:11let's say , considering building

31:13materials , labor , and so on , right ? So ,

31:16this is a branded project , but it needs

31:21certain surrounding criteria , meaning

31:26certain infrastructure criteria so that

31:30, well , McDonald's , Subway , everyone

31:34has their own criteria . And Sea Breeze

31:39is systematically moving to meet the

31:41criteria of global brands . both in the

31:46hotel business , and also in retail , and

31:50so on .

31:52And do you understand , even with all

31:54due respect , may I , please . Even with

32:01all that , you understand , yes , even

32:03with all due respect to Rafael , yes , he

32:05is a successful businessman , if this

32:07weren't an idea , not just our thought ,

32:10like , " let's open a business . " In

32:12Brabus , there are analysts , strategists

32:15, a whole staff of people who evaluate

32:17the potential , risks , all of these

32:19things , in order for them to invest

32:22such a sum . Naturally , they are doing

32:24it for the payback of all this . So , can

32:26you imagine the prospects of all this ?

32:29The prospects are huge .

32:30the passage .

32:32I want to emphasize a very important

32:34point here . Literally in the last few

32:39days , the Israeli construction company

32:42Hadjaj is making very good progress in

32:46negotiations . And I understand this

32:50isn't being publicized much yet , but as

32:52far as I understand , the contracts are

32:54in place . This is a firm that is one of

32:59the largest in Israel , if not the

33:02largest , building the most comfortable

33:05housing in Israel . Besides this , in the

33:09last few days I heard an interview with

33:12Agalarov , a contract was signed with

33:15the largest construction company in the

33:18world , a Chinese one , which is also

33:21entering Sea Breeze . This indicates , uh

33:25, that the analysts of these large

33:28firms have already

33:31received the information , calculated ,

33:34analyzed , and made the decision to

33:36enter Sea Breeze . This speaks to the

33:39future of Sea Breeze . This speaks to

33:42the fact that everything here is still ,

33:44one could say , in diapers . Therefore ,

33:48in diapers , it's a baby , it might even

33:51wet itself . uh , as they say , and so on .

33:56and throw a tantrum . But ahead of us is

33:59a beautiful , chic , comfortable city on

34:04the Caspian , which will have no one ,

34:08which will have no one

34:11to compete with as a world-class resort

34:13.

34:13Yes . Besides that , uh , based on the

34:16situation I see now , with the golf cart

34:19transport and the greenery , I think

34:22that by the time the city of Sebris is

34:25ready , it will be the most eco-friendly

34:28city in the world . And these aren't

34:32just words ; everything is heading that

34:34way . As far as I know , a commission has

34:39been set up here to monitor things , as

34:42there are specific criteria required to

34:46be recognized as the world's most

34:49eco-friendly city , and that is a whole

34:52other level — the future belongs to

34:56Sebris .

34:57My friends , we are ending the interview

35:00here . Actually , depending on the number

35:02of likes and comments you leave , we

35:04will make a second part of the

35:06interview . The second part of the

35:08interview will be the first of its kind

35:09. It will be a separate tour in Hebrew

35:13from Rafael . The second part will cover

35:16how to buy an apartment , what

35:17difficulties arise with documents , how

35:19to process them correctly , and he will

35:21show his own apartment and give a tour .

35:23Yes ,

35:24definitely . Uh , we have , in principle ,

35:27a complete database here . From how to

35:31meet up to doing a report . I really

35:34love Sebris . I want you , the listeners

35:38and Fariz's audience , to love it too .

35:42Yes , he brought friends here , he

35:43gathered friends again .

35:45I bring people this time ; I come here

35:47at least once a month because I enjoy

35:49this atmosphere . You are all invited to

35:54Sebris ; please come , we will meet you ,

35:56accommodate you , and show you around .

36:00Everything is at your service .

36:02Contacts for how to reach Rafael for

36:03all your questions — he will be happy

36:05to answer , and that’s a spoiler . Yes .

36:09And , my friends , I repeat that I have

36:11started working on the Clife project

36:12again . This is no longer the beginner

36:16blogger from two years ago . This will

36:19be professional content . It is a

36:21website . I won't just make a website ; I

36:23will make it the best one . There . Yes ,

36:26this is the project .

36:27And does Fariz know how to do that ? Yes

36:28, I've already shown the sketches , so

36:30go check them out . Silv . Raffa and I ,

36:34the Jews of Baku . Be sure to watch ,

36:36subscribe to the channel , and leave a

36:40Thank you for your attention .
