Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1149 Auction
Listening to the thunderous cheers and Irina's strange look as if she wanted to laugh, Jiang Yan rolled his eyes at Irina. He was just bragging in public, and Irina could expose him if she had the guts.

Irina looked at Jiang Yan teasingly with a bright smile on her lips. If nothing else, just looking at Jiang Yan's thick skin, he deserves to be the richest man in Mao Zedong.

The photographer next to him couldn't help but pull Irina. This leading actress of Moscow TV is good in every way except that she tends to go off topic. He couldn't help but cough a few times to remind him.

After hearing her partner's reminder, Irina finally understood her job, so she asked.

"Since you have admitted it yourself, then it is obviously the right choice for us to interview you first. This is an auction, and the people who participate in the auction should be the protagonists."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into amazing laughter and approval. Even Gaidar and Chubais were no exception. They now felt that interviewing Jiang Yan was the most natural thing to do.

Of course, the main reason is that they are unable to answer the sharp questions raised by the middle-aged man now, so it would be great to have Jiang Yan help them attract people's attention.

Only Jiang Yan shook his head speechlessly.

"Irina, you really are worthy of being the leading actress of Moscow TV. Yes, you can understand it this way, or you can say that those of us who come to buy are the protagonists today." Jiang Yan said half-admiringly and half-shyly.

Irina smiled slightly, "Thank you for your compliment. Then I would like to ask you, since you are here to participate in this auction, are you very optimistic about this auction and these shops?"

Jiang Yan nodded heavily. "Of course. I've read some of the promotional information about this auction. These shops are all very good, and the workers are very good and hardworking. I think if I can win the bid, I can definitely make a profit and make money, and contribute to Mao and the general public."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan pointed his finger at the hundreds of shop assistants around him.

As Jiang Yan's palm moved, the shop assistants all raised their heads and chests, with an ambitious look, just like bodybuilders showing off their towering muscles in a bodybuilding competition.

Their hearts were filled with joy at this moment. It was obvious that they were one step closer to becoming Mr. Jiang's employees.

As the saying goes, everyone wants to carry a fancy sedan, so no matter what, Jiang Yan has to play the role of Gaidar and Chubais well. Not to mention, the more he praises these shops, the more people will be willing to bid for them, and the less likely it is that he will take over and cover the losses.

To be honest, he really didn't want to take over these shops. The bakery might still be useful, but what use would he have for these barber shops, clothing stores, and furniture factories?

"Then I have one last question. Since you have such good relationships with Minister Gaidar, Director Chubais and Deputy Prime Minister Kadanev, is there some shady dealings involved? Or to put it more simply, is your friendship going to make you gain some benefits that you shouldn't have?" Irina said word by word with an inexplicable light in her eyes.

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes when he heard these words, and looked at Irina deeply. This girl, is she here to mess things up? Such a sharp question. At this time, Gaidar was a little anxious, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Kadanfu, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed. And Kadanfu also shook his head implicitly.

After hearing Irina's words, the smiles on the faces of the hundreds of onlookers disappeared, and even their eyes looking at Jiang Yan became unfriendly. After Irina's reminder, they remembered that Jiang Yan and Gaidar, Chubais and others were birds of a feather, and they didn't see that Jiang Yan came in the same car with them.

In other words, it is very likely that their shop will be swallowed up by Jiang Yan quietly using various means. Isn't this what they have been worried about and why the auction was held instead!

Jiang Yan also realized that Irina did it on purpose, and even said that it was a trick! Jiang Yan turned his head to look at Gaidar and Chubais, and saw that they were also terrified and at a loss, and his heart immediately fell into his stomach.

As for the rest, there were only those who were opposed to Boris's coming to power, that is, people from Rutskoi's faction.

"Irina, this is a very good question. I don't deny that I have a very good personal relationship with Gaidar and Chubais, but this is precisely the greatest significance of holding an auction!" Jiang Yan said in a loud and decisive voice.

Everyone's expression changed. Some of them didn't expect that Jiang Yan would admit their relationship so openly.

"If there was no auction, if I wanted shares in each of your stores, I could probably easily get them through various connections. You guys shouldn't deny this, right?" Jiang Yan looked at everyone and said loudly.

Everyone nodded in unison, with an inexplicable light flashing in their eyes. Not to mention someone as well-connected as Mr. Jiang, even ordinary factory managers and company management could obtain ownership of their shops through various means and connections.

Some time ago, there were two factories that were apparently losing money, but they were contracted out for free by the original factory managers, or sold to them. But how could they not know that the factory losses were actually caused by the factory managers and the enterprise management themselves? Otherwise, how to explain why the same people and the same equipment were losing money when they were state-owned, but now that the enterprises have become private enterprises and the profits belong to private owners, they are immediately profitable?
"However, I came here this time also at the invitation of several of them." The topic changed a bit and many people couldn't help but become nervous.

"The reason for inviting me is that this is a grand event for the Russians and the beginning of reform. Holding an auction and bidding is the fairest and most just means. No matter how good my relationship with Chubais and Gaidar is, I must pay real money to buy your store at the highest price. If I can't offer a higher price than others, then I can't get your store!"

"Although the auction is not a perfect case, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone, this is the fairest and most just case that our human wisdom can come up with. Otherwise, you will not be able to compete with me!"

"Do you think I need to covet your store? To be honest, my monthly donations are more than the value of your store. And the value of my company in one hour may be higher than the monthly business of these stores."

"Also, I can tell you that our bank offers loans. Anyone who wants to buy these shops and start a business but doesn't have the funds can apply. We will be working on site. This requires your shop as collateral. Every month, you only need to repay 30% of your net income for that month. For the rest, you can consult the relevant personnel of our bank."
