Chapter 1358 Third-Class Citizens
"Four million, four and a half million. Four and a half million once. Five million."
"Eight million once, eight million twice, and eight million and still raising the price is not good enough. Someone has already offered eight and a half million."
“.”
At the bidding meeting held by Motor Aviation Industry Corporation, there were only a few units participating in the bidding, giving people the feeling of a "grassroots team", but when the bidding officially started, the competition was very fierce.
Because the company where Lu Zixue worked, Koshi, had a conflict with Baixiang. Both sides were chasing each other and refusing to give in. It seemed that because Baixiang had also provided some help to Sofia in the matter of Kamaz Automobile Factory, Koshi Company also hated them.
What I hate most at auctions is this kind of competition, where there is no chance of finding a bargain.
But when he saw the auction price exceeded 10 million US dollars, Li Ye felt that things were a little magical.
The big ship that the flower growers bought from Ukraine in later generations was only 20 million US dollars. Although it was a slow-moving commodity that would be sold as scrap metal if it was not sold, the production line that the motor company is auctioning today is not a best-selling commodity that you can buy it or not!
Furthermore, White Elephant was one of the first countries to import the MiG-29, and indeed there was a demand for its imitation, but why was the Koshi Company so irrational? Aren't Jewish consortiums the best at business?
Looking at Lu Zixue, his face was flushed as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he kept turning his head to look at Li Ye. His provocative eyes made people want to jump over and slap him. Li Ye couldn't help but wonder, could this grandson be a stooge?
If he is a shill, then who is Kaizi?
Flower grower?
Come on!
Team leader Zhou, who thought of "let me try it with my own strength first", only bid twice before he completely lost interest.
This is simply not the way they trade.
Captain Zhou and others also negotiated several projects with Big Goose, which were basically "barter" or "goods + cash" transaction models.
But Ukraine only wants money.
Because no matter how short of supplies a country is, it will not lack the upper class people. What they lack is money, which is the easiest to carry.
As for whether ordinary people are short of clothes to wear, they are too lazy to consider it.
So compared with the big goose, the sellers on the Ukrainian side sell their bottom line more thoroughly and without any scruples.
"Eleven million for one time, twelve million for two times, is there any price increase? Is there any price increase? This is an entire jet engine blade production line, advanced technology, well-maintained."
Seeing the auctioneer constantly encouraging the people in the audience to raise the price, and the intervals between bids getting longer and longer, Li Ye knew that he was almost reaching the limit.
So he squeezed Wen Leyu's palm.
There are two unknown small companies that arrived at the scene to participate in the bidding today. In fact, they are Li Ye's "agents". As long as Li Ye gives a signal, they will participate in the auction and buy this production line first.
Li Ye asked Fu Guiru and Pei Wencong to make preparations two years in advance, and of course there were white gloves waiting to take action.
But Wen Leyu shook his head slightly.
Wen Leyu will definitely not take any action unless there is clear information from the capital, and will not spend a penny.
Wen Leyu is no longer a young girl in her early twenties. Now that she is nearly thirty years old, she is already the "mistress of the house" of the Li family. She must represent the Li family and negotiate an explanation with the elders.
"12 million and 500 thousand twice. 12 million and 500 thousand three times"
"Bang~"
With the auctioneer's final hammer, the final winner belongs to the white elephant.
Li Ye suddenly found it interesting.
It’s not because the wealthy Koshi Company lost to White Elephant, but because the people from White Elephant didn’t seem that happy after winning the auction. There were not even many people applauding and celebrating.
Wen Leyu whispered to Li Ye, "I don't think this scene is over yet."
Li Ye pursed his lips and smiled, "My wife has sharp eyes and can see clearly."
Wen Leyu gently hit Li Ye and said angrily, "Who has the piercing eyes? Are you calling me a monkey?"
“Ahem.”
Li Ye coughed lightly a few times to stop his "unstable" young wife, because Captain Zhou and others were turning around and walking towards him, and their faces were not very good.
In this situation, it would be strange if he looked good.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
After everyone returned to the temporary hotel, Captain Zhou called a general meeting and focused on summarizing the importance of intelligence. He hoped that everyone would show their talents and contribute to the common cause.
Li Ye lowered his head and said nothing. Now the young wife is in charge, it's useless for you to talk to me.
But only the next day, interesting news came.
The white elephant man regretted taking the photo.
"I now believe the auction deposit was negotiated by the White Elephant. It turns out they had already planned to withdraw from the auction! How clever!"
"I think Ukraine is the smart one! If they can make $200,000 by regretting a shoot once, it would be even better if they could regret it eight or ten times!"
“.”
Since the White Elephant man regretted the bid, the auction result was naturally invalid. The people from Motor Aviation Industry Company urgently notified the Flower Planting Family to hold the auction again the day after tomorrow.
So Team Leader Zhou convened another general meeting to discuss strategies for the auction the day after tomorrow.
Li Ye had no choice but to lower his head and listen to the "chanting" for several hours.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to contribute, it’s just that in matters like this, “without money you can’t move an inch.” If you don’t pay, no matter how good the countermeasures are, they will be in vain.
However, on the afternoon of the next day, Wen Leyu was called over by Captain Zhou and received a long-distance call.
When Wen Leyu came back, the flames of battle were already burning in his eyes.
"I received a call from home, and they can treat special cases as special cases."
“.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Li Ye and Sun Xianjin met with Pavlov again.
As soon as they met, the other party said coldly: "If you are here to take advantage of the opportunity to threaten us to lower the price, then don't say anything. We know the value of this production line to you."
Sun Xianjin said unhappily, "Because it's valuable to us, we're the real buyers. You can see that the White Elephant people have no sincerity in buying this production line. No one else would buy these things except us."
"Then you don't have to buy it."
"Pavlov, if you continue to have this attitude, we really won't buy it."
“If you don’t buy it, then don’t buy it”
"Don't think we don't know. You found those companies to maliciously raise prices. You are scammers."
"You bastard, you actually called me a liar"
"Why, do you still want to fight me? Look at you, you've become bald from drinking all these years. Can you still beat me?"
“.”
Pavlov and Sun Xianjin actually started arguing, chattering like two children.
Li Ye waited until the two people had almost finished arguing before he interrupted.
"Lower the price by 30 percent, guarantee we'll win the bid, and we'll honor the agreement."
“.”
Pavlov suddenly turned around and looked at Li Ye, glaring at him fiercely and sulking.
Li Ye was obviously taking advantage of the situation and cut off 30% of the goods with one knife. Do you think you are buying a cabbage at the farmer's market?
But after a long while, Pavlov gritted his teeth and said, "How can I be sure that you will fulfill your promise?"
Li Ye asked in return: "Then how can you guarantee that we will win the bid?"
Pavlov smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, if you pay, I will definitely get what you want."
“.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
On the third day, Li Ye and others arrived at the bidding site as scheduled. However, when the bidding started, the site was empty and few people participated in the bidding.
[Oh my god? Is it so dark?]
In his previous life, when housing prices were rising, Li Ye often saw some "auction notices", but by the time he saw the notices, the auction time had basically passed.
You know there's something fishy about this thing, but you can't tell it.
But now this situation has happened to me.
When the flower-growing delegation won the auction without even fighting, many people found it incredible.
Captain Zhou and others were so curious that they asked the auctioneer why Baixiang and Keshi Company did not come.
"The White Elephant was disqualified from further auctions because he regretted his bid. The Koshi Company was kidnapped, so they left Ukraine yesterday."
Li Ye: "."
[Kidnapping? Is Pavlov's style so brutal?]
Captain Zhou was also shocked, and couldn't help but ask, "So, is anyone injured in the kidnapping incident?"
"No one was injured, only a British Territory citizen was kidnapped and disappeared."
That’s it?
Why is that?
Oh, British territories citizens? Isn't that just third-class British citizenship? So no one cares?
