Chapter 668: Preparations Before the Auction
[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]
Mosk!
In the summer in Mosk, the temperature is basically around 20 to 15 degrees. From this point of view, it is similar to the winter in Jiangnan City. Moreover, the summer in Mosk is very short, which also leads to the mining of diamond mines. You must hurry up. Once winter enters, the mining speed will slow down.
Li Yi made a phone call to Saurav. The general idea was to recruit more people. The current miners are not enough. Although from the current perspective, two shifts a day can increase the mining volume a lot, but Workers will be exhausted.
Li Yi sat in the office, briefly thought about the detailed process, and then checked the existing diamonds on hand. With these rough diamonds, he could at least exchange them for nearly 200 million U.S. dollars. This is already the limit. .
Twelve million U.S. dollars is just a starting price. If people who go to the auction intend to buy this steel smelting plant, after several rounds of bidding, they will get at least two to three billion U.S. dollars. This is still optimistic. The estimate, if not optimistic, is at least US$500 million.
Now the two hundred million is still a bit stretched, but Li Yi has tried his best to raise more money.
Wang Xia watched Li Yi make several calls in a row and allocate nearly tens of millions of funds. He was suddenly confused and puzzled.
It's just an abandoned steel smelting factory. What's all the fuss about?
Besides, what’s the use of buying it back?
Judging from the current situation, where do they have the time and manpower to run such a large steel smelting plant?
At least the investment alone would cost more than a billion dollars! This thing costs more money than mining diamond mines!
The most important point is that if you mine diamond mines, you will see immediate returns, but if you build this steel smelting factory, the probability of being a failure is about 70%! This is still a conservative estimate!
Nowadays, the most indispensable thing for people is steel. Where can hard currency like diamonds be obtained in real terms?
So Wang Xia really couldn't understand it.
"I said, Brother Yi, is this steel smelting plant we bought really useful?
You see, our current capital flow has already caused problems after you have diverted it. You spent several hundred million to buy this factory. This is just the beginning. If you want to run it in the future, it will not start with more than one billion. Smash it inside? "
"This factory is a money-eating monster! You must think twice..."
Li Yi smiled and said:
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, hero. I'm not a fool. Of course I have my purpose in buying this factory!"
Wang Xia shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I knew you would say that, you say it every time! Well, just know it in your mind!"
At this time, Liu Yu pushed open the office door and walked in, saying in a deep voice:
"Yizi, I heard that you contacted the diamond buyer?
Someone comes to you and wants to talk to you about the diamond in your hand! "
Li Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Yes, that's the person I made an appointment with. I'll go check it out first!"
After saying this, Li Yi stood up and walked out of the office.
Looking at Li Yi's leaving figure, Liu Yu slowly frowned.
Wang Xia sighed and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Yu, why don't you persuade him?
I don’t understand why Brother Yi insists on buying that steel smelting plant. Really, you also know our current situation. Where can we have so many people to run a factory?
Even if we have the manpower, what about the funds? "
Liu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice:
"Do you think Yizi can't see things that we can all see?
Do you still remember when he insisted on buying the abandoned diamond mine in Solav? "
Wang Xia nodded subconsciously and said:
"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"
Liu Yu continued:
"Isn't it the same then?
Everyone thinks that what is the use of buying an abandoned diamond mine?
Isn't that a joke?
But what happened next?
Have a lot of diamonds been dug out of this diamond mine? "
Wang Xia nodded subconsciously again, as if he understood what Liu Yu meant.
Liu Yu said in a deep voice:
"Here's the problem. Every time Yizi behaves in a seemingly nonsensical and mindless manner, he has his own reasons. Just wait and see!"
After saying this, Liu Yu sat on his desk and started working.
Wang Xia looked thoughtful.
…
On the other side, Li Yi had already met this person who was interested in diamonds. To Li Yi's expectation, this person turned out to be a man from England. He was holding a civilized stick in his hand and wearing a well-tailored suit. Look. At the age of forty-five, the car he drove made Li Yi speechless.
Bentley Continental! It is a typical British old gentleman's car, and it is also the pinnacle of commercial vehicles!
This can no longer be described as rich.
The old gentleman, after looking around Li Yi's villa, smiled and said to Li Yi:
"Is this boss Li Yi?
Oh, my God, I have to say your age is really surprising! "
Li Yi replied in a very standard British accent:
"Mr. Charles, you are indeed a very standard businessman. You came 20 minutes earlier than the time we agreed! However, my diamonds will not be much cheaper because of these 20 minutes!"
Charles immediately smiled and said:
"Mr. Li, you are really interesting! And your English is so standard, you must have been to England?"
Li Yi smiled and nodded, saying:
"I have been there for a while, so please come, let me show you my inventory! "
Charles nodded with a smile, signaled his driver to park the car, and then followed Li Yi into the villa.
Charles, whose full name is Charles King Gust, is a diamond buyer that Joseph had contacted. In fact, he came to Moscow this time to trade with Kakin, but he found out that Kakin had run away just after the plane landed. Charles was a little disappointed. He thought he had come in vain, but Joseph had many friends. After learning that Charles was here to buy diamonds, he immediately told Joseph.
Joseph immediately called Li Yi, and the two sides agreed on a time to meet, and they met immediately.
Charles was immediately attracted when he learned that Li Yi had a diamond mine, and it was the Soraf diamond mine.
The quality of the diamonds in the Soraf diamond mine is naturally needless to say. Although it is not famous all over the world, it is well-known throughout Europe.
