Chapter 713: Crazy Bidding
A man who owns a mine with almost the largest diamond reserves in the world actually participated in an auction for a steel smelting plant. No one would believe it, right?
Although it seems to outsiders that there are no diamonds left in this diamond mine, after all, there has been no news about the launch of jewelry made of Solav diamonds for a long time. Many people are speculating that after Li Yi took over this diamond mine, Maybe there are only so many diamond reserves left, and nothing good can be mined at all.
But this is just from the perspective of ordinary people. If you have an identity like Sergey, of course you know the real situation.
Li Yi just sold all the diamonds to a businessman from England, Charles!
The reason why Charles King Gust, a businessman of this level, appeared in Mosk is probably just a coincidence. To put it bluntly, this person is one of the top figures in Europe.
As for why this person didn't show up at the auction, Sergey guessed that he didn't like the auction at all.
When Sergey found out what Li Yi mentioned about the sharing, he also sighed very much. Although his father also wanted to get the sharing from Li Yi, now that competitors have come to Charles's point of view, Level, forget it.
Charles' status is not comparable to that of his father. He has a title, but his father is just a businessman.
Since Charles can negotiate with Li Yi about the share of the money, is there any need to talk about the reserves of the diamond mine?
This is why Sergey was so surprised by Li Yi's purchase of the steel smelting plant. You said that as a diamond mine holder, what can't you do? You insist on buying an abandoned factory. It’s more than enough to build one yourself, right?
Li Yi didn't say much on this topic. After all, Sergey's background lies here. In his subconscious, there is no such thing as a free hand. After all, if he wants to do business, he will always Dad is probably very happy about this. There is a huge amount of money right there. You can spend it however you want. There is no problem in losing money. After all, he has such a big family to take care of it!
But Li Yi's situation is completely different. He must be very careful every step of the way and obtain the highest return at the lowest cost, which has become one of his creeds.
The auction is still going on, but these items are just a warm-up. They are usually some jewelry. Although they are also very valuable, after all, everyone's focus is on that painting, so no matter how the auctioneer arouses everyone's emotions, None of them had any obvious effect.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
Just when Sergey was already drowsy, the auctioneer's voice rang again!
"Everyone, welcome to today's auction. We have finally come to the final stage. The last auction item is a painting. This painting is authentic and the real heritage left over from the Romanov era! That's right! One of the testaments to their family’s glory!”
"The name of this painting is White Roses in Bloom. It is one of the works of the famous nineteenth-century painter Russeldorf! Our estimate of the value of this painting is 530 million! So this is what we Starting price!”
Five hundred and thirty million?
Li Yi clicked his tongue, good guy, he immediately announced that it had nothing to do with him as soon as he came up, and the starting price was 500 million! The total remaining funds of his are about 500 million!
Moreover, most of these loans were obtained by mortgaging the Gorga Automobile Manufacturing Plant to Berekov.
But just like this, Li Yi became more and more relaxed. You rob yours, and I see my excitement. After all, this painting has nothing to do with him, right?
Sergey had just woken up at this moment. After seeing the situation on the field, he immediately asked subconsciously:
"here we go?"
Li Yi nodded and said:
"The starting price is more than 500 million, it's your turn!"
The starting price is more than 500 million?
Sergey raised his eyebrows fiercely and said:
"My God, what kind of painting is so expensive? Even if it's painted with gold, it's not so exaggerated, right?"
Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and said:
"This should be considered normal, right? Which painting by a famous painter is not worth more than gold? Aren't you going to sell it? The auction will start soon!"
At this time, the auctioneer on the stage just finished his brief introduction and said in a deep voice:
"Now the bidding officially begins! The starting price is 530 million!"
In an instant, Li Yi saw nearly a hundred people in the entire auction seat, and they raised the signs in their hands at the same time!
And the same goes for Sergey next to him!
Li Yi smacked his tongue. It seems that this thing is really more attractive than imagined!
The auctioneer seemed to have expected such a scene, waved his hand and said:
"Everyone, please calm down. Every price increase must not be less than 50 million! It's better to think carefully before raising the sign!"
A price increase of 50 million? Li Yi clicked his tongue again. Sure enough, this thing is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Okay, No. 1 bids 580 million!"
"No. 4, 630 million!"
"On the 18th, 680 million! Does anyone else want to bid?"
"Number 19! Seven hundred and thirty million!"
…
The current scene can be described as crazy.
Li Yi's eyelids jumped when he heard this. It seemed that all the people participating in the auction this time were worth much more than him. At least he only had 600 to 700 million yuan left, and part of it was borrowed money.
Sergey was not willing to admit defeat and threw out 830 million yuan, but it was quickly beaten by others. The price was about to reach the 10 billion mark.
Of course, Belekov also made a move. After mortgaging a property just now, he was confident. However, after 1.2 billion yuan, it was embarrassing. He had no money!
So he could only watch these people in front of him continue to compete.
Li Yi was very surprised, probably because he didn't know if the secret in the painting was really worth 1.2 billion. Anyway, he was very confused now, so he asked Sergei beside him, "Can the things hidden behind this painting really exceed 1.2 billion?"
Sergei sighed and said:
"You may not understand, because the Romanov dynasty was very powerful in history, so anything related to them can be described as priceless! This matter cannot be calculated with money!"
Li Yi immediately understood that in fact, if it is wealth, it is more like a symbol, a symbol of power.
The rich people present value this symbol very much.
