Chapter 707: The auction begins
Bear Russia. Moscow!
As the largest auction in recent years, the top management has put in a lot of effort and arranged many exhibits and auction items. This is based on the foundation left by Kakin in Moscow, so many people took advantage of this opportunity to auction the treasures they didn't want to leave.
Of course, they took out the property rights of some factories, or real estate, etc. All the proceeds from this auction will be used to fill the national treasury, which can be regarded as easing the current situation.
In Li Yi's view, this auction is a very novel experience. After all, he had never had such an experience before he was reborn. In fact, he only participated in a few charity auctions in his previous life.
No matter from what angle, charity auctions are very meaningful.
Although this auction is obviously aimed at filling the national treasury, the funds here are estimated to be used for medical construction and disaster relief.
The most humane thing about Maozi now is that you don't have to spend money to go to the hospital for treatment. Because many people can't afford the medical expenses, the top leaders decided that patients in the hospital don't have to spend any money, even if they use medicines, and they can also guarantee three meals a day, and this is the case across the country. You can imagine how much money this is.
At least in Li Yi's eyes, the daily consumption is an astronomical figure.
After the dissolution of Big Brother, the situation of several other countries is not very good. From this point of view, Longguo is more peaceful, and the overall economy is in a state of accumulation and development.
Until now, the situation on the Maozi side is still not good, but the current auction may be an opportunity.
...
On the day of the auction, the scene was not luxurious, but it was also very solemn and serious. In the eyes of the top leaders, these rich people are all gods of wealth. They are all here to give money, so they must be treated well.
This is a place like an auditorium. Every chair is very comfortable. At least they are made of expensive wood, which makes it look like a movie theater, but it is obviously more serious. On the high platform in the front, there is a small table with an auction hammer on it. The auctioneer has not arrived yet.
Li Yi came alone. It is not impossible for him to bring people with him, but there is no need. Moreover, Wang Xia and Liu Yu both said that they could not stand this place, so Li Yi had to come alone.
After sitting on the chair, Li Yi began to observe the people who were present to participate in the auction. Each of them had status and position. The reason why he could sit in the middle position now was mostly because of Soraf's diamond mine! This is actually opportunistic.
And these people, they really relied on their own strength to get the invitation letter.
If it comes to inferiority, Li Yi has no such feeling at all. He believes that as long as he is given some time, he may not be able to reach the same level as these people, or even surpass them!
Many people were talking in whispers. It was obvious that they all knew each other. Li Yi also knew someone, Belekov, but now the two had to keep a safe distance, preferably a relatively unfamiliar state, so that Ivanzovsky and Vigelov would not be on guard.
On Li Yi's right hand side, there was a number plate. After it was raised, the number on it was Li Yi's name. The seats in the auction hall could be chosen at will, but the number plate fixed to each seat could not be moved. You had to use the same number plate as the seat you sat in.
And the security was also in place to ensure that there would be no accidents, so the police were called in to maintain order.
Li Yi rubbed the number plate in his hand and looked at the number on it. It was number 77. The total funds he could use were 500 million US dollars, but with the loan from Belekov, the total was 1 billion US dollars, that is, 1.5 billion. Just from the perspective of taking the steel smelting plant, it was completely enough, and Li Yi said that if he took the photo, he would fill the loan gap as soon as possible.
If it were someone else, Belekov would never agree, but who is Li Yi?
He has an entire diamond mine in his hands! And it's the Solav Diamond Mine!
Naturally, Belekov chose to believe it, because Li Yi was indeed able to repay it. Let alone 1 billion, even if it was 10 billion, he could repay it all in three to five years at most with the diamonds produced by this diamond mine.
The auction will start in 20 minutes, and Li Yi realized that he had arrived too early. However, because the location he chose was very remote, at the back and the edge, there was a passage on the right, and a thick wall to the right, so he was very inconspicuous in the entire auction hall.
Just as Li Yi picked up the list of goods to be auctioned at the auction and was about to see where the steel smelting factory was ranked, he suddenly felt that the light was blocked. Then a young man in a neat striped suit sat next to Li Yi. Subconsciously, Li Yi looked at him and was a little unsure of the man's age.
He looked like a Russian, but he also had some British gentleman flavor. The smile on his face gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. His every move was the style of a big family, which was completely different from Li Yi.
The man smiled and looked at Li Yi, stretched out his hand, and said in fluent English:
"Hello, my name is Sergei."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't know the man's origin, he still stretched out his hand and shook hands with him. He also said in very authentic English, but with a British accent:
"Hello, my name is Li Yi!"
Why Li Yi always uses a British accent is because Li Yi has only been to England before.
When Sergei heard this British accent that was more standard than his own, he was surprised and said:
"Are you Li Yi?
Chairman of Beihua Foreign Trade Company?
But aren't you from Longguo?
Why..."
Li Yi felt that this person was a bit talkative, which was a bit inconsistent with the temperament he showed before!
"Mr. Sergey, I am a Dragon, but I came across an opportunity by chance, so I learned English for a while..."
Sergey suddenly realized, and then he said in very standard Chinese:
"Mr. Li, why are you sitting here?"
