Lin Wanqing was even more shocked than Zhao Qingya!
They've already spent 10 billion on the auction of Star Shine Cinema, and now they've transferred that much money back to themselves?
"Why did you transfer so much money to me?" Lin Wanqing asked incredulously.
Li Yi: "Doesn't Xinghui Cinema still have 2 billion yuan in debt? This money will be transferred to you to help with debt reduction."
Lin Wanqing: "Huh? That's only 2 billion, but you transferred 3 billion!"
Li Yi: "It's always good to be prepared. What if it's not enough? Keep an extra billion for emergencies."
Lin Wanqing was deeply moved.
She hadn't expected that Li Yi had even considered the debt settlement process.
If Star Shine Cinema removes its liabilities, then that's its net assets.
"Did he really only see me as someone he could keep?"
Lin Wanqing was puzzled.
Wolf is currently single. Could he be mistaking me for his girlfriend?
Lin Wanqing blushed slightly. She felt that this must be the case. Otherwise, how could Li Yi be so willing to spend money on her, especially with another beautiful woman, Zhao Qingya, by his side!
Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing's favorability towards Li Yi increased significantly once again:
[Target: Lin Wanqing: Affection +10]
[Target: Lin Wanqing: Affection +5]
Current favorability rating: 85 points
It cost 13 billion to increase favorability by another 15 points.
85 points of affection is already the affection level of a typical couple.
Li Yi smiled slightly after hearing the system notification.
For the next half hour, there was nothing that interested Li Yi.
Finally, another item brought Li Yi a surge of joy.
Host: "Friends, next we will be auctioning off Zhichun Early Childhood Education Group, a nationally renowned chain of early childhood education institutions. Zhichun Early Childhood Education Group owns thousands of kindergartens across the country, focusing on providing high-quality early childhood education services for children aged 2-6. Their advanced educational philosophy, strong teaching staff, and comprehensive facilities have earned them the trust and praise of parents. This is a rare opportunity for both investors and educators! The starting price for the Zhichun Early Childhood Education Group equity auction is 1 billion yuan, with each bid increment no less than 5 million yuan. The bidding will now begin."
As a nationally renowned chain institution, Zhichun Early Childhood Education Group boasts considerable brand influence and market share.
If we can acquire 100% of the equity, we can not only gain a foothold in the field of early childhood education, but also further enhance the overall strength of the group by integrating and optimizing resources.
However, the people present were all shrewd and wouldn't just listen to what the host said; they made their own judgments.
"Damn, is Zhichun Early Childhood Education Group looking for a sucker? I heard they've been losing a lot of money in the last few years!"
"That's for sure. People are less willing to have children these days. Many kindergartens are having trouble recruiting students. Zhichun Kindergarten is no exception; it's struggling to attract students, and many of its branches have closed down because they can't get enough kids."
"That's not the only reason. The government is now acquiring a large number of private kindergartens and converting them into affordable ones. Zhichun Kindergarten charges so much, around five thousand a month, which is not competitive at all compared to public kindergartens that charge just over a thousand a month. It's only a matter of time before it goes out of business!"
"Yeah, wouldn't buying a bid from a company like that just make things difficult for themselves? I wouldn't even take it if it were given to me for free!"
Despite the doubts and discussions of the crowd, Li Yi remained remarkably calm.
What everyone said makes sense. If Zhichun Early Childhood Education Group takes back the shares, it could be a bottomless pit, or even result in huge losses and bankruptcy.
But so what?
Losing money is terrible for others, but Li Yi wants projects that lose money so that he can keep investing money into them.
The thing he has in abundance is money.
Moreover, the most direct benefit is that after taking a picture and sending it to the designated person, you can get a 50% cashback on your personal wealth if the strategy is successful.
The host had already called for everyone to start bidding, but the atmosphere became awkward and the room went silent.
No one bid!
After a while, the host asked helplessly, "Ladies and gentlemen, are there any bidders? If not, we will have to proceed with the auction as unsuccessful."
At this moment, Li Yi calmly raised the sign.
"One billion!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw it!
"Holy crap, it's Wolf again!"
"What is Boss Wolf trying to do? It's obviously a losing proposition, why is he still going to do it?"
"Yeah, I really don't understand Boss Wolf. He just spent 10 billion to acquire Star Shine Cinema, and now he's going to acquire Zhichun Early Childhood Education Group?"
"That can't be right. Boss Wolf is so rich. Could it be that we have a problem with our judgment?!"
Li Yi's bid undoubtedly sent shockwaves through the auction hall, drawing surprised and puzzled glances from many. Some even questioned whether their own business acumen was flawed.
Host: "Ladies and gentlemen, Wolf's abilities are evident to all. He is young and promising, with keen insight and a sharp business mind. The projects Wolf chooses are bound to be excellent. Is there anyone offering a higher price?"
Despite the host's persuasive efforts, no one placed an order.
Wolf might have a way to make these projects profitable, but that doesn't mean they can.
After another awkward silence, the host had no choice but to announce: "Ten billion yuan per time!"
"Ten billion yuan twice!"
"One billion yuan three times!"
"make a deal!"
"Congratulations to Boss Wolf for winning the bid for Zhichun Early Childhood Education Group at the reserve price of one billion yuan."
As the auctioneer's gavel fell, the entire auction hall erupted in chaos. People whispered among themselves, discussing Li Yi's series of unexpected moves, while Li Yi remained smiling and unconcerned.
