Chapter 642: Auction

Verkhovna Rada building.

Li Yadong can come here now with his eyes closed, and the guards on the outer wall saw that it was his car, and even the steps of checking the documents were saved, and he was directly released, knowing that this foreigner was not simple, and he was the guest of some parliamentarians, including the speaker.

After entering the building, Li Yadong and his entourage went directly to the second floor without being guided.

There is a large conference room that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, and what was once the chamber of the Ukrainian parliament is today used as a venue for auctions.

Walking into the conference room, there are no fewer people sitting inside, because there are many seats, one here and one there, which is clearly distinguished.

Most of them are familiar faces, but there are also some new faces, and Li Yadong easily noticed a group of people with yellow-skinned faces in a group of Western faces.

Just as the economic gap between several important countries in Asia has become smaller and smaller in the future, so that people from Japan, South Korea, and China, when they stand together, they cannot distinguish the differences at first glance. In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish between the Chinese in this era and the other two countries.

For example, the group of people in front of them, all of them are oily and powdery, white and clean, wearing straight suits, and there is a kind of arrogance on their bodies.

In addition, the average stature is relatively short.

Little day benzene undoubtedly.

It should be that the representatives of the Seibu Group are good, Li Yadong met them for the first time, and they did not stay at the Royal Hotel in Paris.

When Li Yadong was looking at them, they were also looking at Li Yadong.

The leader is a capable middle-aged man with combed hair and split hair, but the skin on his face and neck is relatively loose, and he usually lacks exercise.

There is a secretary-type woman with short hair, whispering in his ear. And his gaze also subconsciously wandered on Li Yadong, but it didn't take too long, and after three or five seconds, he retracted his gaze and didn't pay attention to it anymore.

is a bit like Benita, and she doesn't mean to treat Li Yadong as a green onion.

"Boss, the one who combs the middle is the representative of the Seibu Group, Watanabe Kukura. Victor reminded.

He was ordered by his boss to investigate these people, so he was most familiar with the crowd at the scene.

"Oh. Li Yadong glanced at Watanabe Kukura and smiled contemptuously.

Don't use him as a green onion?

As everyone knows, even your boss Tsui Yiming is here, and he is not worthy of being on an equal footing with Lao Tzu.

And Lao Tzu's next target is your Seibu Group.

You'd better expect Yoshiaki Tsutsumi to cooperate, or ......

All of you, you will soon be unemployed.

Li Yadong pointed in one direction, led a group of subordinates, and found a corner where no one cared about and sat down.

It's not that I deliberately pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, Watanabe and Benita's gang did the same, and the main good positions in the front were occupied by the huge delegations of the six governments.

It's just that they're in a further backyard and more remote.

That's how the show is often staged, the more self-conscious you are, the less anyone takes you seriously.

At 7:50, government officials from the Ukrainian side walked into the venue together.

A group of more than 20 people, their eyes took the lead in wandering the camp of the three private delegations for a while, and then fell on the delegations of several national governments.

Some staff began to shuttle around the venue, giving an introduction to the bidding rules and bidding boards.

At eight o'clock, the auction officially began.

The meeting was presided over by the first deputy speaker of the Ukrainian side, Yuri, who is responsible for leading the matter.

Like other Ukrainian officials, he sat on the high platform in the center of the venue, turned the seated microphone to his mouth, and said with a calm expression, "Hello everyone, I am Yuri Kosenna, entrusted by the Ukrainian parliament and parliament to preside over the tender for the "Valyan" aircraft carrier. Gathering you here today is for the first process – price bidding. I believe that all delegations have now obtained a copy of the auction rules, so I sincerely hope that you can strictly follow the rules to ensure that the meeting is held normally. Before the official bidding, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Navy, Admiral Negtolav, will give you a detailed introduction to the "Varyag" aircraft carrier, so that you can better grasp its actual value. ”

He deliberately slowed down the speed of his speech, one sentence at a time, and at the same time, the staff came fluent English translation from the sound of the venue.

After finishing speaking, in the adjacent seat not far away, a burly old man with a shoulder against Venus began to speak.

"Hello everyone, I'm Negtorav, and now I'll tell you about the Varyag.

"The construction of this aircraft carrier began in December 1985 at the Nikolav Black Sea Shipyard, and the current completion rate is close to 68%, with a length of 304.5 meters and a width of 75 meters. Under normal conditions, it has a displacement of 54,500 tons, 3,857 cabins, and a power system with four 149 MW steam turbines with a horsepower of 200,000 hp......"

Admiral Negtorav opened a lengthy presentation, apparently doing his homework, and he had a lot of information about the technical parameters of the "Varyag".

There is no other reason for this: to show its great value.

However, it is worth mentioning that as a large aircraft carrier, the "Varyag" is responsible not only for sea-based platforms, but also for powerful attack capabilities, equipped with many armed facilities such as 12 P-700 "Granite" long-range anti-ship missiles.

But Admiral Negtolav said nothing about this.

This also made many people in the delegation of the six governments in the audience couldn't help frowning and discussing a lot.

Because those armed facilities are very important to them, it can be said that the "Varyag" is a big selling point, and it is impossible to see the reason for it simply by looking at it with the eyes.

They actually want to hear it, but the other party just doesn't talk about it, do you say it's angry?

"Alright. After Admiral Negtorav spoke for half an hour, Yuri took over and said with a calm expression, "I believe that after Admiral Negtorav's introduction, the delegations should have a deeper understanding of the 'Varyag' aircraft carrier, so our bidding session will start now." The starting price is 5 million US dollars, and each price increase shall not be less than 100,000 yuan. ”

"Five and a half million!"

As soon as Yuri's words fell, a delegation from the six governments raised their bidding cards.

A one-time increase of $500,000 can also be seen in the urgent need of these developing countries for the Varyag.

Li Yadong glanced at the first delegation holding the sign, although the person holding the sign spoke English, but in view of the face between black and white, there was no doubt that it was Ah San.

What do you say about this country...... That's a bent desire to become stronger, but the ambition is there, but the strength doesn't allow it.

Their yearning for aircraft carriers, that is something that everyone knows.

But what if you don't have the strength to build it?

Then you can only buy and buy.

Oh no, in fact, Ah San also built an aircraft carrier, which was approved in 1999, but it was not completed until 2018, and became the laughing stock of the international community.

A few years later, a Russian aircraft carrier that had been decommissioned, had an aging boiler that caught fire due to poor management, and exploded.

In view of this urgency, the brand-new "Varyag", which was only barely outfitted, was naturally not easily missed.

Therefore, it is reasonable to be the first to raise a card.
