Chapter 285: Business that Comes to You

After Li Yi and Mazaev observed a circle around the entire diamond mine, Li Yi took Mazaev back to the state-owned supermarket.

The entire diamond mine is just like what Li Yi heard. Basically, no diamonds can be dug out. They are all stones, waste soil and the like.

Moreover, at this time of year, all the soil below has frozen hard, so don’t think about being able to construct in winter.

Even when there were diamonds before, construction was usually done in the summer.

If the climate is too cold, the equipment will malfunction, and the excavation work will be extremely difficult.

In the end, no diamonds were detected here, and the senior management did not want to waste time on this again, so the diamond mine was abandoned.

"I still don't understand why you keep staring at this diamond mine! He obviously has no diamonds anymore, my friend!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "You will understand, let's go back!"

"The people who are here to discuss should be here tomorrow. The weather in this damn place is making me unbearable. Hurry and get this done so I can go back to Mosk!"

Mazaev looked at Li Yi's leaving figure, shook his head helplessly, and then lifted his heels.

…

In the small hotel opposite the state-owned supermarket, Li Yi had just taken a hot bath.

It is not easy to take a bath in this place, but the real controller of the diamond mine will send someone here tomorrow, so it should be more formal.

As soon as Li Yi got dressed, there was a knock on the door of the room. The person standing at the door of the room turned out to be Paul.

"Hello, my friend, what's the matter?"

Paul shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Li, I want to talk to you. I hope you can buy my winery!"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, he didn't go to Paul yet, but he came to him himself!

But that’s just right, we have to talk about it sooner or later anyway!

Vodka is one of the pillar industries of the entire federation. If Li Yi wants to broaden his approach here, the distillery is essential.

"No problem, let's go to your store to talk and have some breakfast by the way!"

Paul was obviously relieved, and then said with a smile: "No problem, I can treat you to a taste of my Da Lieba!"

Li Yi nodded with a smile, put on a heavy coat, and said, "Time is precious, let's go now!"

…

After a while, Li Yi was already sitting in Paul's tavern!

Different from ordinary pubs, the decoration style here is more Western European style rather than the industrial style of the Union.

Opposite Li Yi, in addition to Paul, there was also a blond and blue-eyed woman in her thirties. She was not beautiful, but her height was amazing. She was over 1.9 meters tall.

"Mr. Li, nice to meet you. My name is Eva. I am Paul's wife and the actual operator of the tavern and winery!"

Li Yi secretly thought that it was true, so he smiled and said: "Ms. Eva, you don't seem to be a Slavic nation, but you look a bit like a British noble!"

"Mr. Li really has good taste. I am indeed a native of England!" Eva said in surprise.

"Oh, I didn't expect that I guessed it right! Then I'm even more curious. As an Englishman, why did you do business in the Federation and marry a standard Slav like Paul?"

Eva smiled and said: "Mr. Li, although I am British, I am very fascinated by this land. I like white and snow the most. Snow is not common in England!"

"So I came here to study ten years ago and stayed. Later I met Paul and I completely settled here!"

Li Yi nodded. At this time, coffee was also delivered, as well as freshly baked bread. Oh, here people don’t call them bread, they call them Leba!

A touch of heat rose up the cup, giving people a very warm feeling, which made Li Yi react involuntarily.

“So, Ms. Eva, are you planning to sell the winery to me?”

Eva smiled and nodded, but her smile looked a little bitter!

"Yes, Mr. Li, I wonder if you are interested?"

Li Yi did not say whether he was interested or not, but said: "Tell me about the situation in the winery!"

"Well, my winery is on the outskirts of Domar, not too far from here! This winery was my dream before, but I have to sell it, which is really sad news!"

Li Yi nodded when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "Can't we continue to operate?"

Eva took a sip of steaming coffee and nodded, then her expression became serious: "The current situation of the alliance is not optimistic. Oh, I forgot, the alliance no longer exists. This is even more sad. News! All in all, we couldn’t buy the raw materials to make vodka and we didn’t have the money to pay the workers, so we had to sell it.”

"Then why me?"

"Because the only ones who can afford the price now are foreign businessmen like you, and those in this country can't afford the price at all!"

After Li Yi pondered for a while, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "As long as the price is reasonable, I will buy the winery!"

"Really, that's too good?"

Li Yi said again: "I am also very interested in this business. I am engaged in foreign trade, and my business is very extensive!"

Eva nodded seriously, and her tone became much more relaxed: "This is why I came to you, Mr. Li, I have asked someone to calculate the value of the winery. It is still worth some money at present, a total of 50 million rubles!"

50 million rubles?

Li Yi thought about it secretly. These 50 million rubles are real money!

It is not like the diamond mine, which is almost a price made up by the top management later!

Eva really wants to transfer the winery, which Li Yi can see.

After a brief thought, Li Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "This price is very reasonable, I have no problem, but the equipment and workers in this winery..."

Eva smiled and said: "Of course there will be no changes to the workers and equipment, but I want to take my accountant away. The accountant is my assistant. I have no right to sell him to you, Mr. Li!"

"So sorry, if you want to hire an accountant, it may take some effort!"

Li Yi smiled and nodded. Eva was obviously making a harmless joke, but if the equipment and workers are not moved, two hundred million rubles for a winery, this is simply a blood profit!

"Okay, in this case, I have no problem, but I will go to your winery to see the actual situation first. If there is no refund, we can sign the contract!"

Eva smiled and nodded, then stood up and hugged Li Yi: "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"
