"Oh?"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, glanced at Li Yang, and said curiously: "Then wait and see the result!"
After the previous bidding, Ying Zheng didn't dare to make judgments on Li Yang easily.The ghost knows if what he said will be right again, after all, the things this guy does are always so unexpected.
Among the civil and military ministers, none of them denied Li Yang again. If the bidding result this time is low again, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
So, everyone waited with curiosity.
Soon, a chief officer came in from outside.
Li Si was in charge of the bidding meeting, because this was the biggest project in this project bidding: Lishan Qinling Mausoleum.
Like the Efang and Great Wall projects, the entire project was split into several small projects.
For example, the Great Wall was dismantled into several sections.
As for the project of Efang Palace, it was also dismantled into many small projects, including contracting projects for various materials and construction projects.
The Lishan Qinling Mausoleum is different, because the Qinling Mausoleum involves the emperor's vital interests, in order to clarify the responsibility system, the entire Qinling Mausoleum project was not split up, but a complete project was called for bidding.
It is precisely because of this that, to be honest, there are not many businessmen in Daqin who want to be able to afford this big project. This is why there are only a dozen or so people in this bidding conference.
As soon as Li Si stood on the stage, he saw Ying Zheng standing behind the meeting room, and a group of ministers.
He couldn't help being startled, and wanted to come down to greet him, but Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to suppress him, signaling him to keep quiet.
Li Si understood, and naturally understood in his heart that the emperor was going to witness this bidding meeting with his own eyes.
When the emperor came to the scene in person, Li Si couldn't help being excited. This shows that this project bidding is extremely important in the emperor's heart. As long as this matter is done well, the Development and Reform Department will definitely be relied on by the emperor, and it will truly become the core institution of the government.
Knowing that this bidding conference has a lot to do with it, Li Si didn't dare to neglect it.
Looking around at the more than ten businessmen under the stage, he said: "Everyone, this bidding conference is for the Lishan Qinling Mausoleum project. The detailed engineering requirements and acceptance conditions have been distributed to you. Now, The truth will not be repeated.”
"The Lishan Qinling Mausoleum project is expected to be completed within two years. The total price of the bidding is 200 million gold. Bidding starts now!"
Chapter 1 The Twisted Mind
"........."
silence!
The entire chamber was eerily quiet, and no one bid.
what's going on?
Is it possible that no one is interested in a project with a profit of 100 million gold?
Ying Zheng and the others were a little confused!
The atmosphere here is completely different from the one next door just now.This difference is simply a sky and an underground.
Just now, the Guxian Great Wall project next door had a total profit of 60 gold. More than 200 businessmen competed for it, and in the end the total price of the project was lowered to the normal cost price. But here...
The total price of the Qinling Mausoleum project was 200 million gold, of which the profit was 100 million gold. None of the dozen or so businessmen bid. This... is really a hell!
Li Si on the stage was also very confused. The situation in front of him was different from what he had imagined.
There have been six bidding sessions in the morning, each of which was extremely intense, and everyone tried their best to participate in the bidding, and this bidding is the largest project among all the projects, and it is also the project with the highest profit. I originally thought that everyone would Bidding with each other as in previous games.
however……
This bidding started in such a horrible way.
Li Si broke out in a cold sweat. You must know that the emperor came to this bidding, so he just stood in the hall and watched.
What scares him even more is that in such a cold situation, if one person bids next and the others don't bid, then the high bidding price will be tantamount to shortfalling the treasury, and he will really be doomed!
"Hey, everyone, please bid!"
Li Si glanced at the emperor in embarrassment, and then hurriedly urged the dozen or so businessmen in the audience.
however……
Of the dozen or so merchants, still no one bid.
I saw that although all of these dozen or so businessmen were eager to try, they seemed hesitant to speak.
There were more than a dozen of them, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally all looked at a wealthy businessman sitting in the front row.
Obviously, the reason why everyone didn't open their mouths to bid was all because of the person sitting in the front row.
Not only Li Si, but now even Ying Zheng and all the civil and military ministers can see that the bidding for the Qinling project is someone violating the principle of fair bidding, trying to keep other competitors from talking, so as to The Qin Ling project that won 200 million gold directly.
This is a very simple truth. As long as no one bids with him, he can finally bid 200 million gold to win the project.
Ying Zheng's face was gloomy at that time, his brows were slightly raised, and he looked at the businessman sitting in the front row.
However, Feng Quji and the others' eyes were shining at this time, because they recognized the businessman sitting in the front row at a glance. This person was Ba Shi, the richest man in the state of Qin and a wealthy businessman who had a great relationship with Li Yang!
Yes, when Li Yang was the prime minister, all the civil and military ministers went to Tianxiaju to congratulate Li Yang, so everyone has seen this person.
Collusion between officials and businessmen!
This is really a proper collusion between government and businessmen, there can be no mistake!
Even if a businessman is the richest man in Qin, it is impossible for other wealthy businessmen not to dare to bid?
At this time, even a fool would know that Li Yang must be colluding with Ba Shi's officials and businessmen.
And only he, Li Yang, has the power to deter other merchants from bidding.Otherwise, for a project with such a huge profit, how could other businessmen be eager to try it, but no one dared to bid for it.
This time, not only did Feng Quji join the party, but he also looked at Li Yang.Even the other ministers who were originally neutral looked at Li Yang in astonishment.
Everyone was extremely surprised, how could Li Yang dare to do such a thing?
Naturally, Ying Zheng noticed the strangeness of the crowd, frowned, and asked, "Do you know that person?"
Feng Quji quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, that person is the richest man in the Qin Dynasty, the head of the Ba family, Ba Shi, whom the censors participated in colluding with the Prime Minister."
Ying Zheng was startled, turned his head to look at Li Yang with disbelief, took a deep look at him, and then moved his gaze to the businessman Ba Shi.
Although Ying Zheng didn't say a word, everyone knew that this time the emperor believed the words of the censors, because the facts before him had proved everything.
But now, the emperor is just waiting, waiting for the businessman named Ba Shi to report his bidding price...
Then, it will all be over!
