Chapter 710: Fierce Bidding

No matter from which angle you look at it, the value of this villa is not low. At least in Li Yi's opinion, a villa with five floors should cost around 200,000 US dollars, right?

However, the result shocked Li Yi even more. At 600,000 US dollars, the bidding still showed no sign of stopping!

Seeing Li Yi's expression, Sergei patiently explained: "This villa is not as simple as it seems. It has a history of many years. It is said to be a country villa of a high-ranking official. This honor is placed here. Although it is in the wilderness, it is face-saving to say it out!"

"In my opinion, it will take at least one million before the bidding ends!"

One million?

Li Yi smacked his lips. Fortunately, the steel smelting plant did not have so many gimmicks, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, it was almost the same as Sergei expected. The transaction price was 1.06 million. This is not some ruble, but US dollars!

Then there were some other properties. Li Yi offered a symbolic price, but as long as someone raised the price again, Li Yi would not argue. This made Sergei more and more curious. What was Li Yi's purpose in coming to this auction?

Soon, it was time for the auction of factories and some mines. It was at this time that Li Yi really got serious!

Seeing the change in Li Yi's eyes, Sergei immediately understood that it was like this!

He came for the mine or factory!

The entire auction has now reached a white-hot stage, and most people are coming for Kakin's mine.

There are two gold mines, one silver mine, and coal and diamond mines in the territory. The rest are factories, three wineries, one steel smelting plant, and one sawmill.

To be honest, most people's eyes are on the minerals. After Kakin left, there was certainly no way to take away the industries on the Moscow side. This was also why Kakin instructed his people to auction these minerals, because there was no use keeping them, so it would be more practical to sell them and get some money back.

The first one to be auctioned was naturally the sawmill. The starting price of the sawmill was 20 million. The area was very large, basically equivalent to the size of three Jiangnan canneries. The price of 20 million was reasonable, after all, the operating rights were also transferred together.

Soon, the bidding price reached the 30 million mark, and many people gave up. The transaction price was 36 million, and a British businessman took away the operating rights of the sawmill.

The second one was the winery. The price of the winery was not very high, but the income they could bring was not ordinary high!

Li Yi had a winery himself, so he naturally knew how lucrative it was. The three wineries were auctioned separately. After the winery, it was the steel smelting factory!

Although he was already in his 40s and 50s, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw that the auction was about to start.

Sergei saw that Li Yi's goal was... that steel smelting factory?

But that factory had been abandoned for a long time!

After thinking about it, Sergei couldn't figure out why Li Yi made such a choice!

"I say, Boss Li, you are not interested in that steel smelting plant, are you?"

After confirming that Sergei had no hostility, Li Yi did not hide it and directly admitted it.

"Yes, my target is this factory!"

Sergei was even more confused, and he subconsciously asked: "Why?

This doesn't make sense! I said, this factory is abandoned! Abandoned, you know!"

Li Yi nodded and said: "Of course I know it is abandoned. If it is not abandoned, I can't afford it. You don't have to worry about this problem. Mr. Sergei, what is your goal in coming to the auction this time?"

"

Sergei smacked his lips and said: "The purpose of my coming this time is to watch the excitement. My family gave me a task to take a picture of a painting, but it is said that there are many people staring at this painting, so it is not easy to start..."

Sure enough!

Li Yi sighed in his heart, how many of these people came for the painting?

"I say, what is hidden in this painting?

Why are so many people coming for the painting?"

This sentence is Li Yi testing Sergei, wanting to know whether Sergei understands the mystery in this painting.

According to common sense, Sergei should know, but Sergei shrugged his shoulders and said:

"If I knew, it would be great. My father told me to try my best to get this painting, and forget it if I can't get it!"

In fact, Sergei's father also said something at that time, that is, if you can get in touch with Li Yi, it would be better to get a share of the diamond mine from him.

But after meeting Li Yi, Sergei was very interested in Li Yi, so he simply gave up this idea. After a short contact, he found that he could talk to Li Yi.

Li Yi also had some doubts about this issue at first, but now it seems that Sergei should not have the intention to target his diamond mine, so his mind became active.

This person is reliable, or we can get in touch with him more and take a share. After all, Sergei is backed by the Gutseriev family. With this guarantee, it will be much more convenient in the future.

At least in Moscow, the position of Beihua Foreign Trade Company is stable.

At this time, the voices of the auctioneers on the stage rang out!

"The next step is the auction of the Kiel Town Steel Smelting Factory! This factory has a history of nearly fifty years, and it has created a lot of wealth for the Federation! The starting price is 300 million..."

After some introductions, the bidding finally officially started!

Li Yi slowly raised the sign in his hand. According to regulations, the minimum price increase is 10 million, so the price of the steel smelting plant directly reached 310 million!

Although the response was not very intense, some people still raised prices.

"No. 77! Three hundred and ten million times!"

"No. 67! Three hundred and twenty million!"

"No. 63! Three hundred and thirty million!"

"No. 77! Okay, it's No. 77 again, the bid is 340 million!"

"It seems that this factory is still very popular. No. 67 bid again, 350 million!"

Li Yi observed No. 67 sitting in front. He was a bald boss. Sergey recognized this person and whispered to Li Yi: "This person owns a steel smelting plant and is worth at least 5 billion." Dollars up and down, are you sure you want to compete with him?”

Li Yi nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he raised the sign again.

Soon, only Li Yi and the bald boss were competing, and the price reached around 430 million!
