Li Yi knew before that all customers who entered the auction must pay a certain amount of deposit, and if they finally won the lot, the deposit would be confiscated if they did not pay. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that the amount of this deposit is generally not too large, and if it is confiscated, it will be confiscated, and he is not short of that money. However, now Liu Xibo actually wants to set a threshold for this work alone, isn't this to let him lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot?

How much security deposit is required to prove that you have the strength to participate in the auction of a lot that is likely to be worth 1 billion? 100 million or 200 million?

NND, he is willing to give 100 million to JETCO, but this does not mean that he is also willing to throw 100 million at Sotheby's!

Alas, why is it so difficult to pit someone?

"Mr. Li, in fact, it is not a very good way to set the margin threshold alone, because setting it low has no effect. If the setting is high, the customer will have a rebellious mentality, which will affect the auction later, so I think it is better to provide proof of funds. ”

"Huh? Can you still play like this? ”

If Liu Xibo was in front of him, Li Yi would definitely not mind kicking him twice, what he hated most was this kind of half-talker.

"Yes, provide proof of funds, for example, we set a starting price of 100 million Hong Kong dollars for a certain lot, then, we will make an explanation in advance, ask customers who are interested in auctioning this item to provide proof of funds of at least 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and then add some other measures, basically to be able to guarantee ......"

In Liu Xibo's view, customers who can have more than 100 million cash assets, these people, love their reputation even more than everything else, so their discipline is absolutely guaranteed.

But when Li Yi heard this, not only did he not feel at ease, but secretly wiped a cold sweat, this should be the opposite, right? Anyway, he didn't know about others, just the two who had recently come into contact, whether it was Song Jiaming or Brother Hong, these two guys used any tricks in order to change the mine!

Coupled with him, a guy who had the idea of repaying his debts from the beginning, these so-called billionaires should be more undisciplined than the other!

But no matter what, since this condition has no effect on his plan, he can take things to the auction, so the two of them negotiated other conditions after dividing five by two, and the rest is to wait for Liu Xibo to come to pick up things.

Hanging up the phone, Li Yi sorted out the recent events, there are Zheng Shusen and Guangming Supervisor on the side of the diamond mine, and they are just doing their work step by step, there is nothing to worry about. On the museum's side, everything that can be done is almost done, and it's just waiting for it to open. As for the jewelry company, it has contacted 7 auction houses and sent out 7 pieces of top-quality jewelry, and it seems that all that is left is waiting to get the money.

Then, now there is only Brother Hong's Hetian jade mine.

Although Brother Hong said that it is okay to find an investor to cooperate, Li Yi believes that if he can find a successor to take over, he will definitely be more willing to transfer the whole thing, and the only obstacle now is that the price is not negotiable.

However, there may still be problems with others, with him, are you talking? No matter how expensive it is, he has to buy it!

"I'm still short of money, why don't you take this opportunity to go outside again?"

Although it is true that he can take out a loan, and Li Yi believes that through the relationship between Wang Haoqing or Zhou Hang, he should be able to lend out all the funds he needs according to his ideas. However, in his opinion, the interest on the 2 billion loan is at least more than 100 million, and the most important thing is not a one-time expenditure, but every year.

However, even if he went to Europe or the United States again, he was reluctant to sell the really good things, knowing that those are the real things that can be found but not sought after compared to money.

So what's the solution?

Frowning and thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered the note that allowed him to harvest 32 oil paintings before, and there were still a few accounts on it, so they hadn't moved because they were worried about being unsafe, so could they consider it now?

At that time, the note he got recorded a total of 11 account information, three of which were in banks that had failed, and he was not the owner, and he was not in the mood to track down where the money in the account went.

Of the remaining eight accounts, five were safes, and it was in a bank, and he just opened one of them to get 32 paintings, and the rest didn't have time to move.

The other three accounts, one of which has more than $17 million in funds, and the remaining two are not very clear.

4 safes and 3 accounts, although Li Yi felt that there could be no such good thing as 32 oil paintings in the remaining 4 safes, but the sum of these 7 accounts was definitely a pretty amazing fortune!

To take or not to take? How do you get it?

The things in the safe are easy to handle, as long as the things can be taken out, with the skills of Gu Feng and the others, they will definitely be able to get out smoothly, but what should I do with the money in the account? You can't take cash too, can you?

But what he desperately needs now is money instead of things!

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yi simply didn't want to think about it, and called Shanggu Feng to go directly to Wang Haoqing. He is still ready to share 10% of Lao Wang's shares like a diamond mine, but he doesn't know if this guy still invests.

"You kid, if you don't do it, you won't do it, and if you do it, you will play with your life! Let's say, what's so funny about this Hetian jade mine this time, is it worth letting you take the risk of offending the Hong family? ”

is worthy of knowing Li Yi well, Wang Haoqing knew at once that there must be something greasy here.

"Hehe, it's not that I offended him, strictly speaking, if I really bought it, it would be me who was cheated by him!"

"Pit you? What's going on? ”

Li Yi talked about what happened last time and what Brother Hong said now, and then spread his hands, "Look at Brother Wang, is there something greasy here?" ”

"That's true! However, since you kid know, why don't you just buy it? ”

"But the point is that I want to buy it!" Seeing Wang Haoqing, who came from the other side, grinning at him, Li Yi couldn't help laughing: "Brother Wang, I went to see it last time, although I didn't look very carefully, but I think that there should be a vein in that place, but they didn't find it, how about it, are you interested in playing together?" ”

"Play? Now if you want news, there is no news, if you want the price, you know that you kid wants to pull me into the water to help you block the Hong family, but no matter what, you have to wait until you figure out everything before you come, right? ”

"OK, no problem! I'll call Brother Hong now and ask him not to come, I'll go directly, and I can go to the mine by the way." ”

The next day, Li Yi took Gu Feng and Tan Moxuan to fly directly to Xining, and after seeing Brother Hong, he didn't say much, and directly said that he needed to go to the mine to have a look.

The person who bought the goods wanted to see the goods, and the seller naturally had nothing to say, so Brother Hong arranged a car at the moment, and several people rushed to the mine again.

When Li Yi came over last time, he directly followed Academician Zhu and them to the ravine, and then found the ore vein, so the two pits and caves in the mining area did not pay attention. Come over this time, even if it is to make a good appearance, otherwise, he is not afraid that Brother Hong will treat him as a fool, he is afraid that Brother Hong will be suspicious.

At present, the mining of the two pits has been stopped, and Brother Hong's statement is that since he wants to sell, of course, he wants to show his sincerity, and he is not guilty of making buyers unhappy for the output of these days. However, in Li Yi's opinion, the reason why he ordered to stop mining should be that he was afraid that he would finish digging up this little thing on the surface and affect the final price.

However, Brother Hong's people are indeed not wrong about this, if mining is released, these two pits will be exhausted in less than 10 days, and they will never be able to dig out a single piece of jade. But after taking protective measures, the current pit is at least a little confusing, and if you meet someone who is not of high level and is more greedy, it is estimated that you can really be fooled by him.

Although he could see the truth and truth, Li Yi didn't plan to say it directly, because if everything was put on the table, what reason would he use to buy it in the end?

After reading the mine, Brother Hong took Li Yi and them to the mine again.

"At this location, if you dig down about ten meters, there should be a new vein, this is the information left by the previous exploration team, my brother can take a look at it first."

This mine cave is excavated along the horizontal line to the depths of the mountain, although the ore vein that Li Yi saw before is above it, but because of the slope and distance of the mountain slope, even if he can see through more than 60 meters, he can't see the new ore vein, as for Brother Hong said to dig another 10 meters, it is simply a lie, not to mention the wrong distance, even the direction is wrong!

Li Yi casually flipped through the information, walked into the mine and carefully investigated, turned his head and asked, "At what price is Brother Hong going to sell?" ”

"Don't hide it from my brother, I paid a total of 3.2 billion yuan for this mine, including the mining rights and the prospecting rights in the surrounding area, plus the investment in equipment, roads, factory areas, etc., a total of almost 3.5 billion yuan was thrown in. The jade mined in the past few years is worth about 1 billion, and I don't ask for it, just keep it, brother, what do you think about 30 billion? ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that his 30 billion should have included the loan interest, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, this Brother Hong is too petty, this price seems to be very sincere, but in fact, it is better not to say anything and directly ask for 30 billion!

"Brother Hong, I can't see too much just like that, so let's go back and find someone to come over and help me take a look, and we'll talk about it then?"

"Okay, although my brother is looking for someone to come over, how do you need to cooperate and speak directly!"

Brother Hong also knew that such a large deal could not be negotiated at one time, so he simply agreed. A group of people came out of the mine and were about to go back, when he suddenly stared at the two people not far away and frowned, why did they come again?

Seeing Li Yi's doubts, Brother Hong smiled bitterly and explained: "Don't hide it from my brother, what about this mine, I was ready to sell it as early as a year ago, and a few of them took a fancy to it and came to talk about it, but the price has not been negotiated." This is one of the customers at that time, the famous gambling mining master, Chu Honglei Chu Master, I don't know if you have heard of it? ”

Li Yi shook his head, he hadn't even been in contact with gambling stones for a long time, and because of the spirit cards, most of the time he was still playing stand-alone, let alone knowing a famous gambling mine.

According to historical records, the Tatleksu jade mine began to be mined as early as five or six thousand years ago, but in modern times, it gradually faded out of people's sight, everyone thought that the mine had already been dug up, but they didn't expect that after Master Chu's golden hand, over the years, nearly 5,000 tons of high-grade jade material have been mined one after another!"

"Oh, that's pretty impressive......"

Li Yi knew about the Tatleksu Jade Mine, but he didn't know that the resurrection of the Tatleksu Jade Mine was because of this person, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous at the moment, they wouldn't find that big vein, right?

As he was talking, the two people over there also saw them, and they greeted this side from a distance, and soon, the two groups of people converged in one place.

"Master Chu, how did you look this time? If you hesitate any longer, my little brother will have to strike first, right? ”

Chu Honglei glanced at Li Yi and a few people, and found that there was no familiar face, and it could be seen from the temperament of several people, all of them were pampered, and they were not people running around to see the mine at all, so he waved his hand casually and said: "It's okay, everyone looks at each other, fair competition, so that Boss Hong can sell a few more money, right?" ”

Dare to be affectionate, he directly regarded Li Yi and them as the trust found by Brother Hong!

"Hehe, Master Chu is bold, so what's the matter? Are you going back with us? Or do you want to look here a little longer? ”

When Brother Hong saw him like this, he didn't introduce Li Yi, and asked them if they would go around the mountain for a while, so he took Li Yi and them directly down the mountain.

"Mr. Chu is the one who insists that there are mineral veins here, but everyone can basically guess that there are mineral veins, but whether they can find it is another matter, billions of investments are thrown away, and it is nothing if you can't find it in a year, and it's nothing if you can't find it in two years, but what if it takes longer? Interest alone can crush people to death! ”

Brother Hong seemed to be a little emotional, and there was a hint of sincerity in what he said, Li Yi was noncommittal, he was still pondering, is it really okay to just let that Master Chu wander around here?

"Hehe, Mr. Li, you're just afraid that you've been fooled, in my opinion, that so-called Master Chu is most likely a trust found by Boss Hong!" Or the guest room where he rested last time, Tan Moxuan laughed when he heard Li Yi's doubts, how could there be so many coincidences in this world?

"Oh? How so? ”

"First, this is a mining area, although the guards are not very tight, but it is not possible to enter if you want to, even if they are arranged by the people below, how can those people not report to the boss? Second, such a big business, if it is an ordinary kind of trust, it is too easy to be seen through, and now they deliberately do the opposite, so that the other side treats us as a trust, but it reflects that they really want to buy, you see, their purpose has not been achieved? ”

Seeing that Li Yi was still a little unable to let go, Tan Moxuan said bitterly: "Li Yi, this is not an ordinary thing of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, if you are fooled, you will be fooled, and it will have no effect on you at all." But this is 30 billion, is he stupid with the surname Hong? But if there is any possibility, he will give up such a huge benefit? So I don't think it's a question of how much money is going to be or if anyone is robbing it at all, but we shouldn't be involved in it at all! ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly, this is where he is embarrassed, because he is different from others, he knows very clearly that there is really a mine here! Moreover, it is also a big mine worth more than 300000000000000000000000000000000

It is said that the offer of 3 billion is really nothing for the value of this vein, and the difficulty of mining this vein is not very great, but he can't just agree so happily, otherwise when the vein comes out, it will be the time when he and the Hong family become mortal enemies!

If the Hong family is really determined to oppose him, let alone Wang Haoqing and Zhou Hang, I'm afraid that the protection of the church is useless, after all, it is in the realm of other people, and the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake after all!

Now, there is no good way at all, so I can only drag it first, drag it until Brother Hong can't hold it anymore, take the initiative to reduce the price, and then show the psychology of a cheap gambler, and it seems reasonable to buy this mine, and the price paid for this is to bear the risk of others discovering the ore vein!

"Let's keep in touch first, go back and ask the one who helped us find the diamond mine, if they have the ability to take this kind of work, and let them come and have a look." Lao Tan, don't worry, even if I want to buy it, I won't be really stupid enough to say as much as he says, I'll tell you the truth, this mine, I will give up to 1.5 billion, and I won't give out any more! ”

Tan Moxuan shook his head with a bitter face, okay, 30 billion is money, 15 billion is not money? The world of local tyrants really can't be understood!

I have already seen everything that should be seen, and the state of the table has also been expressed, and the next step is to rely on data to speak, so Li Yi didn't stay here for long, and returned to Yanjing the next day.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and seeing that the time for Sotheby's spring auction was about to come, Li Yi asked Gu Feng to find two trusted comrades-in-arms as agents of the mysterious person and signed up for this spring auction.

Regarding the lots of this spring auction, Li Yi also paid attention to it before, and there are a lot of good things, especially a suspected Ming Dynasty painter Song Xu's "Spring Mountain Grass and Trees", which is not favored by people because of the lack of payment. So he was going to go there early and attend the last preview, and if the painting was genuine, he couldn't say if he could pick up a small leak.

Unexpectedly, before he left here, the company he had hired to help with prospecting called first, and the prospecting work had made significant progress and a new vein had been discovered!

After receiving the call, Li Yi almost spurted out without a mouthful of old blood, your sister, looking for them in the past is just to let them make a show, so as to prepare for future bargaining, I didn't expect that these guys' luck was so good, they actually found out the ore vein at once, should it be said that he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot?

"Where was the vein found? How much is the reserve? ”

"About 5 kilometers to the east of Pit 1, the exact reserves are not clear, but they should not be large, just a small spur." On the phone, the person in charge looked guilty, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, there happened to be someone in the mine when the sample was taken, so I didn't hide it......"

Hearing that what he found was not the big vein before, Li Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. But then he sighed again and discovered this vein, and the reason is there, but this price, not to mention cheap, maybe it will rise a little more!

But this is also no way, if he doesn't find someone to go over and make a show, he can't do it, but he can't talk too thoroughly to those people, saying that looking for them is to do it, then it is better not to let them go, but who would have thought that they really found a vein!

NND, could it be that these guys have also tainted a little bit of his luck because of the diamond mines?

Seeing Brother Hong again this time is completely different from the previous times, it's called a spring breeze pride!

"Brother Li, how is it? I said it must be in stock here, right? But you Brother Hong and I don't take advantage of you, the mine was discovered by your people, you have the right of first choice, how about it, do you want this mine? ”

Li Yi had already been to the place to see it before, it was indeed a branch vein, and the reserves were not large, but there were still more than 200 million, so he had to shake his head with a wry smile, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" Brother Hong, make an offer! ”

"5 billion!"

"50 billion is impossible, I will give you a maximum of 25 billion. Brother Hong, you should know that your original ones are of no value at all, and these 2.5 billion are mainly gambling that you can find the main vein from this branch vein, but no matter how you look at it, the hope is not very big, otherwise you won't change hands, right? ”

"Haha, it's not right for you to say that, brother......"

Because the gambling nature here is bigger than the diamond mine, it is not easy to determine the value, and Li Yi can't explain the real situation, so Tan Moxuan's role can't be reflected, so he has to go into battle in person and talk to Brother Hong with real knives and guns.

After two days of entanglement, seeing that the auction in Hong Kong was about to start, and there was still a distance of several hundred million yuan to talk about here, Li Yi was ready to leave. As long as Brother Hong really wants to sell, then hang him for a few more days, and when the time comes, he will directly close the deal according to his current price, which will only make a few hundred million less!

However, seeing that Li Yi was leaving, Brother Hong was bottomless first, except for this newly discovered branch, how could he not know what the situation was on the side of the old mine? It is estimated that tens of millions of things should still be dug up here and there, plus those equipment and real estate, and no more than 150 million will be killed. If you're unlucky, you may not even be able to dig up 10 million things, it's a pit at all!

"One price, 3.45 billion! If you agree, you will make a deal, if you don't agree, brother, I can only talk to someone else! ”

“33！”

"Forget it, take a median value, 33.8, I really can't let it anymore!"

"Deal!" (To be continued.) )
