"This auction attracted a lot of people." Duterte was very enthusiastic about Zhu Yu. In his office, he introduced Zhu Yu, "Some internationally renowned land businessmen have come."
"Why?" Zhu Yu was a little confused. The information Duterte gave him showed that the total amount of land sold this time was only 10,000 hectares - slightly more than previously stated.
But it’s not like making such a big fuss, right?
"Many people invested in farmland in another country, the world's breadbasket, but suffered huge losses due to some special reasons." Duterte was somewhat gloating. "They all think that the land price is low now, and they will make a profit if they buy it. They couldn't farm after they bought it, and their funds were tied up. International food prices have begun to rise, but they can't make money..."
Zhu Yu nodded slowly.
Think about it a few years ago, when the mask issue first came out, many countries in the world, such as Vietnam and Tu'ao, had already banned the sale of domestic food.
At that time, someone posted nonsense on Twitter:
"By the end of the year, a can of beef like this can be exchanged for a mainland girl..."
Of course, these idiots don't know how much China attaches importance to food.
When the four major international grain merchants entered the Chinese grain market, they wanted to manipulate grain prices. After all, they had already done this once, but the first time was edible oil, which surged.
But there is nothing new under the sun. How could the domestic big guys let something like this happen again?
Sinofco began to release grain when international grain merchants started to increase prices. The four major international grain merchants had no idea how much grain reserve COFCO had!
As a result, the four major grain dealers returned home in vain. Finally, I heard that the grain reserves of China Food Storage were at least 100 million tons!
Equivalent to half of the grain traded in the international market!
Zhu Yu clearly remembered that even though the grain bureau, which was so important to farmers back then, was gone, there still seemed to be a grain warehouse in every county!
This is the country’s confidence!
Now, those people who are talking nonsense see that a can of beef is really a can of beef, and our country has enough food. Although it has increased by a few dollars, to ordinary people, compared with the content promoted by those people, does this few dollars matter?
So, is food important? Of course it’s important!
Therefore, after Zhu Yu learned about that incident, he never bought cooking oil like Arowana again, even though it was rated as a powerful brand.
After all, it was not founded by Chinese people.
You can complain, you can complain, but at the critical moment, Zhu Yu still knows who can be relied on.
"What is the price of land now?" Zhu Yu asked.
“About ten thousand dollars per hectare,” Duterte said, “It depends on the location of the land and the surrounding conditions.
In principle, we still have many policies. For example, foreigners cannot purchase more than a quarter of the land in each city, and they cannot purchase more than 50 modulus (local land area is called, the actual area is uncertain , big or small), and there must be a development plan..."
When Duterte introduced these policies to Zhu Yu, he even blinked.
Zhu Yu understood that this showed that these policies could actually be accommodated.
Didn’t the land that I had previously obtained “violate regulations”?
It seems that Xiaozhi also knows how to operate.
He just doesn't understand people's hearts. Why do you make those people down there so miserable?
“However, before the auction, a deposit must be paid,” Duterte said. “These lands are basically acquired by the city. Some of the land was resold after the original landowners went bankrupt and were nationalized.
Some are reserved land in the city, and some are land auctioned by landowners at their own initiative.
After paying the deposit, if the auction is unsuccessful, the deposit will be returned. If the land is auctioned but no payment is made, the deposit will be confiscated.
In addition, I also have a piece of news for you. "
Duterte looked at Zhu Yu and did not continue speaking.
When Cao Dalong next to him saw this, he immediately took out a wad of money and handed it over.
"Let me just say," Duterte put away the money with a smile on his face, "It would be good to be friends with you Chinese people! By the way, the news is that you are not the only Chinese people who came to participate in the land auction.
The other party is also a Chinese company. This time two people are here and plan to auction the land. You have to pay attention. After all, everyone can guess the news about rising food prices. In this auction alone, four internationally renowned land merchants were involved! So you guys, it’s better to be prepared.
Okay, if you are sure you want to participate in the shooting, please give me the deposit now, one hundred thousand dollars. "
Zhu Yu left the office after paying the money.
Duterte had told him that the auction would be in this building and would be held early the next morning.
When they came out of Duterte's office, they found that this floor was quite lively, with people of all colors coming and going from time to time.
"It seems that the Brazilian officials are quite corrupt." Cao Dalong said.
"There are normal officials everywhere, and there are flies everywhere." Ran Jie said, "The world is like this, it is impossible to get rid of it here. Of course, this actually has its advantages. For people like us who are unfamiliar with the place, at least this way it is easier to open up. situation."
"That's true."
With the formalities completed and the invitation card received, Zhu Yu and the others planned to stay in the city for one night and prepare to attend the auction the next day.
In the parking lot, Zhu Yu saw a Chinese man and woman who had just gotten off the car.
The man is 1.8 meters tall, about thirty years old, tall and handsome. The woman is tall and has long legs, about 1.75 meters. She is wearing a cheongsam. She has a very good figure, looks very beautiful, and has quite a temperament.
He glanced at the other person and then got in the car.
"Boss, are those two people just now our competitors as Duterte said?" Cao Dalong asked curiously in the car.
"Probably so." Zhu Yu nodded, "There are not many Chinese people here, and there is a high probability that they have the same goal as us."
The two people walked out of the parking lot and as they walked toward the building, the woman said:
"Han Feng, did those people just come to participate in the land auction for the same purpose as us?"
"It may be very capable." Han Feng was obviously prepared, "According to the information I received, a large piece of land nearby that was originally the Japanese Yinju Club changed its owner recently, and it is said that the current landowner is a Chinese.
These people come with bad intentions! "
"Then we need to adjust the budget for the land auction. Let's do this. The maximum price per hectare of land will be raised to US$15,000!"
"So high?" Han Feng frowned, "In this case, our capital chain will be tight and there is a risk of breaking at any time!"
"It's okay." The woman said expressionlessly, "As long as we get the land at this price, we can get a loan from the bank. After all, with the current international market situation and the increase in food prices, this kind of cultivated land will naturally increase."
Seeing the woman make a decisive decision to kill that was completely different from her temperament, Han Feng secretly sighed and said nothing.
In the car over there, Qin Fei was also asking Zhu Yu:
"Boss, what is our budget for the land auction here?"
"There is no budget." Zhu Yu said, "As long as it is not too outrageous, we will take pictures. After all, land is really valuable now."
"Boss, our guard force needs to be strengthened," Ran Jie said. "Otherwise, there is so much empty land with no one to guard it. If there really is trouble, or there is some unrest here -"
"Yes," Zhu Yu nodded and said, "This is indeed a good suggestion. Call the country in the evening and ask them to recruit more people for training."
"By the way, we need to implement our win-win policy. As long as the local people are happy for us to farm here, then the rest of the matter will be easy to handle." Zhu Yu said:
"Of course, don't hold back what those bastards say. We are not weaklings. Many compatriots outside have created an image of being weaklings. It's time to change it."
Probably the place here is quite evil, so to speak, when Zhu Yu and the others first arrived at the door of the hotel, a few gangsters surrounded them, raised their middle fingers at Zhu Yu and the others, and then pointed at the bag Qin Fei brought.
The meaning is very clear, I want money.
This is the entrance to a star-rated hotel. Are these people so arrogant?
The security guard not far away glanced at it, and then turned his head away as if nothing happened.
"Forget it, don't stay here. Let's go." Zhu Yu said, "By the way, be tougher. These guys are too arrogant and need to be taught a lesson!"
Those few people probably realized that Zhu Yu and the others didn't care about them, so they immediately took out weapons such as daggers and planned to take action.
There are seven or eight opponents, but there are only four here. In the eyes of those gangsters, they are a sure winner.
They have probably never seen black talk shows in the United States, and they don’t know why they shouldn’t mess with Chinese people, especially some tall young Chinese men with short buzzcuts!
"I haven't done anything for a long time, my hands are a little itchy, you all watch, I will do it alone!" Cao Dalong's eyes gleamed with excitement!
Then he faced the dagger stabbed by the gangster at the head, and didn't even dodge. He directly grabbed the opponent's wrist, and with a twist, the opponent's dagger was reversed and pierced into the thick part of the gangster's thigh!
Cao Dalong let go of his hand and let the gangster whine there, planning to deal with the next one.
Then he discovered that Ran Jie and Qin Fei had already entered the crowd, and they didn't act like him at all. They were trying to attract killers, and one of them would fall with just one punch or a kick. They were just like wolves entering the flock of sheep. There is no single enemy!
"Animals, leave two for me!" Cao Dalong was anxious, "Why don't you practice martial ethics?"
"Talk about martial ethics!" Qin Fei kicked a gangster in the crotch, then grabbed another gangster who was about to escape, and easily removed his arms, "It's so loud, the police won't come until It’s weird, let’s fight quickly!”
By the time he finished saying this, no one was left standing among the gangsters present.
The two security guards over there were so frightened that their legs were shaking and they no longer knew what to say.
"Let's go, don't stay here." Zhu Yu said, "Change a place. Then complain tomorrow, the security here is too bad!"
When the police came to inquire about the situation with the gangsters and security guards, Zhu Yu and the others had already checked into another star-rated hotel.
The environment here is good, at least there are no gangsters at the door to disturb you, and the security guards are also very dedicated.
After Ran Jie gave a tip and gave a clear enough reminder, Zhu Yu and the others slept peacefully that night.
The next day, after breakfast, a group of four people drove to the building where Duterte and his colleagues work.
After parking the car, the four of them arrived at the door of the building and found that the place was much busier than usual. Many people, like them, were walking into the building with invitation cards.
The auction hall is on the fourth floor. Such auctions are often held here. The security guards at the door skillfully checked their invitation cards and then let people in.
After Zhu Yu and the others entered, they heard voices from behind:
"Why don't you let us in?"
"Because there are more of you, only two people can enter with one invitation card." The security guard answered politely.
"But it's obvious that they are them, those Chinese people, four of them entered with one invitation card!"
"That's because they use VIP-level invitation cards. Up to five people are allowed." The security guard explained politely.
Zhu Yu and the others heard it.
After finding their location, Zhu Yu found that they were in a front position with a good view, but they were not directly under the stage.
"It seems that Duterte is quite principled. At least he will get things done if he is given money."
"I think, is it because we paid more money twice, that's why we are treated like this?" Qin Fei asked such a question, "Everything is done here, it is impossible for these people to be unclear..."
Regarding their gossip-like speculation, Zhu Yu did not speak. He was observing the people around him.
Although Zhu Yu and the others were sitting in a better seat, there was obviously a better seat.
Sitting there was a Jew - a white man. The reason why he was considered a Jew was because he looked similar to David who was killed by Zhu Yu and the others.
Is it related to David, or is Zhu Yu relatively face-blind and thinks this is what this race of people looks like?
He was quite handsome, but he also noticed Zhu Yu and looked at Zhu Yu with a rather unkind look.
Zhu Yu guessed that this person must have known that Zhu Yu was also a strong competitor, so he had such eyes.
The sign next to this person is number nine. He was the only one in the spacious position, but there were two powerful bodyguards beside him.
There are two other places with good locations, and they are obviously VIPs. One of them, No. 12, seemed to be very worried and was talking on the phone. The other one was No. 17, with a smile on his face and a somewhat complacent look. Zhu Yu guessed that this person should be from Da Mao's side.
Because there was a bottle of wine next to him!
The man saw Zhu Yu and raised his cup to indicate to Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu shook his head.
Then I saw someone sitting down not far away. It was the man and woman I met in the parking lot yesterday.
After the woman sat down, she glanced at Zhu Yu, hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked over, bending slightly beside Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu? Hello, I am Qin Qinyin from Zhejiang Province. I am really happy to meet my compatriots here."
Qin Qinyin took the initiative to extend her hand, and Zhu Yu stood up, shook her hand, and said with a smile:
"I'm also very happy to meet Miss Qin."
After Qin Qinyin let go, he handed over a business card. Zhu Yu took it and said:
"Sorry, I don't have the habit of carrying business cards."
"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing that Zhu Yu did not take the initiative to give out his contact information, Qin Qinyin's eyes flashed with disappointment, then nodded and walked back.
Zhu Yu saw that Qin Qinyin was number 18.
I am number sixteen.
As soon as he sat down, he smelled the smell of alcohol.
No. 16, whom he thought was Lao Maozi, came over with a glass of wine:
"Friends from China, please introduce yourself. My name is Andrei Petrov. Nice to meet you! Cheers to the friendship between Russia and China!"
After saying that, he didn't care about Zhu Yu's reaction and drank the glass of wine directly.
To be honest, Zhu Yu never thought that he would take the initiative to talk to a stranger like him.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing.
Does he know himself, or does he think he is kind and a good person?
Seeing that Andre hadn't left, Zhu Yu wanted to hear what other ideas he had.
"In a moment, we need to fight against a few of them." Andre held an empty wine glass and seemed to be whispering, but several people around him could actually hear it. "Otherwise we won't get a piece of land! They are International land merchants have a lot of money but are ruthless, we must unite!"
After speaking, Andre patted Zhu Yu on the shoulder, turned and left.
This guy looks so naive, but to my surprise, he is also full of eyes!
Isn’t this a trap for yourself?
But Zhu Yu is not upset. Anyway, his plan is to take over all the land. It doesn't matter whether they are united or not.
So facing the hostile looks from those few people, Zhu Yu didn't care.
Just be hostile, is it useful?
More and more people came in, and soon, more than half of the entire hall was filled.
Then, the security guard closed the door.
There were sounds outside the door, but the security guard didn't seem to hear them.
Zhu Yu understood what they meant.
Latecomers are not eligible to participate in the auction.
Soon, service staff came over and handed out a copy of information to everyone who participated in the photo shoot.
The VIP seats have an advantage. Everyone else has a share, and they have a share.
Zhu Yu did not read the information immediately after receiving it, but glanced at the hall.
There are almost fifty people in the hall who plan to buy land.
There are people of all colors. Obviously, Zhu Yu is not the only one who can see that cultivated land is valuable.
Looking down at the information, Zhu Yu discovered that there were a total of 126 pieces of land, divided into 40 groups for sale.
The largest plot is No. 26, which consists of three plots of land (Module) with a total area of 2,149 hectares; the smallest plot consists of five plots of land (Module) with an area of 100 hectares. Nine hectares.
There is also a map showing the location of the land. Zhu Yu found that these lands were very scattered. The closest land to the land he owned was bordering one of the six small towns; the farthest one was already in another direction of the city.
But Zhu Yu is not picky. The smallest piece of land here is more than 100 acres, about ten hectares, which is very convenient to plant.
made a bid! I want all of these!
