Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Even Lou Xiao'e couldn't hold on any longer at this point; she was unable to keep up.

Those who continued to follow up included a Hong Kong tycoon, a drug kingpin from Macau, the Rukawa Trading Company from Japan, and two blond-haired, blue-eyed Westerners.

Liu Aiguo lit a Daqianmen cigarette and started smoking.

He watched with a smile.

Don't rush into auctions.

Those who went in first don't offer any useful references.

Li Jun, who was standing next to him, was no longer embarrassed, because everyone's attention had shifted away from him. He chuckled and took out a cigarette to smoke.

A cigar as thick as a thumb.

After taking a sip and blowing a smoke ring in Liu Aiguo's direction, Brother Jun said casually, "Director Liu... you're not short of money, why don't you change your cigarettes? This Daqianmen is too low-class, come on, have a smoke of my cigar!"

Liu Aiguo said indifferently, "Not interested!"

Jun Ge continued sarcastically, "Don't laugh at me. We're the two older brothers. I don't have the money to bid, and you probably don't have more than me by more than a few tens of thousands. We can't even reach the starting price!"

Actually, Brother Jun's statement was purely speculative.

why?

If you had money, you would have followed suit already, okay?

Besides, the reform and opening up has only been going on for a short time. Some people have become wealthy, but not many have, and the extent of their wealth is limited.

You're just a logistics manager at a small TV factory, embezzling money by skimping on employees' meals every day. How much money could you possibly embezzle?

One million is the absolute maximum.

They're already asking for over ten million US dollars!

That's over 100 million Chinese banknotes.

You can embezzle 100 million?

Faced with Jun Ge's sarcasm, Liu Aiguo smiled coldly and ignored him.

Brother Jun continued, "No matter who wins the bid, I'll definitely be the one opening the store in Beijing. But there are still some expenses involved. If you cover those expenses for me, I'll not only stop bothering you, but I'll also take care of your family's safety from now on!"

"How about it?" Jun Ge looked at Liu Aiguo with a smug expression.

Liu Aiguo took the large bottle of liquor out of his mouth, waved his hand and gestured to Yu Li, completely ignoring Liu Aiguo.

then!

Jun Ge opened his mouth wide, unable to close it.

Because Yu Li stood up gracefully and said softly, "Sixteen million for an individual!"

Swish!

All eyes in the venue were on Yu Li.

Sixteen million!

This is Yu Li's first bid so far!

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Lou Xiao'e in the back row said in shock, "See, Liu Aiguo is indeed rich, but I'm not so sure!"

He Yuzhu was completely dumbfounded: Sixteen million?

Still a beautiful knife.

This thing would be worth over a hundred million in China.

This……

Where did this dog get the money from?

I used to argue with people, but who the hell am I?!

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly, his understanding and thoughts once again deeply shocked and shaken.

The soldier next to Liu Aiguo was completely petrified.

He let the cigar in his hand burn.

Little by little, as the pain from the sparks on his hand traveled to his brain, he nearly jumped up in shock: "Holy shit... Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit... You actually embezzled so much?"

Jun Ge believed that all this money was embezzled by Liu Aiguo.

Liu Aiguo still ignored him.

Yu Li sat down.

At this point, there weren't many people left participating in the auction.

It's mainly about Rukawa Trading Company in Japan.

After all, that's over ten million US dollars.

how to say?

The number of over ten million in this era is not the same as the number of over ten million in later generations; it is an astronomical number within an astronomical number.

It's worth noting that China has already secured the right to host the Asian Games this year, but the country can't afford the hundreds of millions needed to build the venues.

No money!

With a wave of his hand, Liu Aiguo delivered nearly two hundred million yuan of Chinese currency.

What concept?

But Rukawa Trading Company was still a little unwilling: "We'll offer 16.5 million US dollars!"

After saying that, the man even raised his eyebrow at Yu Li defiantly: "You Chinese, you poor bastards, actually dare to compete with us Japanese. I've got your business in my hands."

I'm definitely going to make money off you dragons!

As a result, Yu Li stood up again: "Twenty million!"

wow...

The entire venue erupted in chaos.

Previously, everyone was adding up to 500,000 US dollars.

Yu Li took an unconventional approach and spent 20 million yuan in one go.

Now everyone has lost the motivation to compete.

After all, judging from Yu Li's attitude, she seemed determined to win, so there was no point in continuing to follow up.

And that price of 20 million... tsk tsk tsk, when will we ever earn that back?

The people of China are very poor now; it won't be easy to recoup these costs.

There's a real possibility of losing money!

So once Yu Li made her 20 million, no one else followed suit.

Yu Li naturally acquired the operating rights of KFC in China.

"Congratulations!" William stood on the stage, smiling at Yu Li, and said, "This beautiful lady, congratulations on obtaining the agency rights for the entire Dragon Kingdom!"

The secretary is about to translate.

Yu Li stood up abruptly and spoke in fluent English: "Thank you, Mr. William. However, after we win the bid, I have another request. Please convey it to the headquarters of KFC Group!"

sizzle...

William was stunned!

Jun Ge was stunned!

Even Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu were stunned.

Damn it...

Yu Li can actually speak English, and she speaks it so fluently.

Lou Xiao'e, who has lived in Hong Kong for over a decade, still can't understand English.

This……

Lou Xiao'e is numb.

"Um..." William said from above, "What is your request?"

Yu Li said, "I demand that some of the terms in the auction announcement be amended!"

"First, the percentage of money taken by KFC headquarters has been reduced from 10% to 2%..."

"Secondly, we don't need KFC headquarters to provide the ingredients; we have them ourselves!"

"Third... please tell KFC headquarters when you report that the above two points were asked to be relayed to me by Old Liu from Hong Kong!"

Yu Li didn't waste any words and sat down immediately after speaking.

Hula...

Five or six bidders from Hong Kong and Macau stood up respectfully and bowed to Yu Li.

They didn't know who Yu Li was, nor did they recognize her.
