"300 million is definitely not a problem. I'll inform the auctioneers over there." Manager Wu quickly looked at the time. There were still 20 minutes until 2 PM.
"Okay, go do your work." Ye Qing waved his hand.
Tan Jiawan International Car City covered an area of 1,000 acres. The local government had already invested in the construction of the main body of the car city. Those car companies that didn't plan to build on a large scale could choose to rent ready-made car shops.
At the same time, there were a few pieces of land for sale in the car city for companies that planned to build their own unique car 4S stores.
There were big and small pieces of land, and there weren't many of them.
The auction this afternoon would auction all the pieces of land at once.
But no matter how it was auctioned, 300 million was far more than the estimated value of that piece of land. Other than the ambitious Monster Industries, no company would be willing to spend 300 million to buy a piece of land with an estimated value of 70 million.
After all, there wasn't a residential area or a commercial area there.
Monster Industries had a 90% chance of winning it.
After returning to the factory, Ye Qing went straight to the underground base.
It wasn't complicated to build a small mechanical eagle drone production center. It required 3D printing equipment and small precision processing equipment. Most of them could be bought from the item store.

Ba Yu City was a famous historical and cultural city of Hua Xia. It was the birthplace of Ba Yu culture. At the same time, it was the strategic support for the development of the western region and the central hub of the Tianjiang economic belt.
According to the 2015 census, Ba Yu City had a total population of 30.17 million people.
Even the total population of Shanghai wasn't as large as Ba Yu City. Although this data included the population of the city, according to the car survey in March this year, the total number of registered private cars in Ba Yu City in 2017 was 2.8 million.
This didn't include freight vehicles. It was purely family cars. In the face of such a huge car consumer market and huge potential for growth, no car company would be indifferent.
It was 1: 40 PM. An exciting land auction was being held in Ba Yu City's Jiangbei District Government Service Center.
The conference room on the seventh floor where the auction was held was now full of people. More than half of them were blonde Westerners with blue eyes. The rest of the Huaxia people also respectfully surrounded these foreigners. It seemed that they were either assistants or interpreters.
Only the bidding team [No.074] was an exception. They were two young Hua Xia faces.
"Mr. Bernard, do you see No. 74 sitting in the back row?" A middle-aged foreigner with a high nose passed by his assistant and whispered to the person next to him.
"I noticed. What's wrong with Mr. Batchelder?" The latter turned his head and glanced at Number 74.
"He is the only Hua Xia company in Tan Jiawan International Auto City."
"Is it Monster Industries?" Batchelder said in surprise, "They actually want to bid for the land too. What the hell is the government doing here? Since they wanted to build an international car city that specialized in high-end cars, they should have just invited us, the internationally renowned car companies, over. Why did they have to force a Hua Xia company into it? Do you want to boost their pitiful self-esteem? "
"I think so too." The foreigner smiled disdainfully and said, "I admit that Monster Industries' Thunderbolt car is good. At least it is likely to be unrivaled in the field of new energy. But this does not mean that we will allow it to build an exclusive service center for Thunderbolt car in our territory. "
"Service center?" Batchelder slapped his forehead and recalled, "Is it Monster Industries' plan for 5,000 energy service centers? Do they want to build one of the service centers here? They are crazy. How much will it cost? "
"They are not crazy. Ba Yu City is one of the most important cities in Hua Xia. It is the economic center of the entire southwest region. Monster Industries building a service center here to accommodate the Thunderbolt 4S store is of great significance. "
"You are right." Batchelder nodded in agreement. "Then I think we should do something."
"To be honest, I can't tolerate a Hua Xia company sneaking into our territory. This will bring shame to our reputation as an international car city. Don't they want to bid for a piece of land to build a service center? "
The former smiled knowingly. "That's right. I have seen the renderings of Monster Industries' 5,000 energy service centers. They plan to build a standard service center in Hua Xia. We just need to make them fail to bid for the land, and the energy service center will not be able to appear in Tan Jiawan. "
"We have to unite. Look at the young man holding the number 74 sign. His eyes are determined to win."
"Five minutes ago, his eyes were still confused and unconfident. I saw it very clearly. After he received a phone call, his eyes changed. It seems that we have met our match. "
"But their opponent is our German car company."
"Mr. Brigenschau, the vice president of the Stuttgart Automobile Union, also means the same. As long as they can't get the land, they can't rent the buildings provided by the government. "
There were still ten minutes before the auction, but this group of foreigners were gathered together one by one, discussing something secretly in a meeting. Occasionally, some of them threw malicious glances at the behemoth staff in the back row.
This was an open conspiracy.
They couldn't change the local government's decision to bring in a Hua Xia company, but they could stop Monster Industries from entering through open channels.
This was not a grudge, nor was it some kind of malicious competition.
Several German car companies, led by the Stuttgart Automobile Union, had long planned to build a joint German car technology exhibition center in Ba Yu City.
In the plan, this was an international exhibition center second only to Shanghai. They wanted to provide customers in the entire southwest region with the most authoritative car technology from Germany and the most novel car technology concepts.
Naturally, the largest and best piece of land in Tan Jiawan International Car City became their target.
Originally, the Germans' opponent should be the car companies led by the United States. Now that the local government suddenly stuffed a Hua Xia company in, Germany and the United States naturally joined forces to drive out Hua Xia company first.
This was a trade secret. Monster Industries, who had just arrived, naturally couldn't know.
As this group of foreigners' conspiracy came to an end, the land auction held by the Jiangbei government officially began.
The venue was very simple. If it weren't for this group of foreigners who set off the atmosphere a little more international, it would be like a simple morning meeting held by a neighborhood committee or a town government.
A middle-aged man in a suit walked up to the stage and nodded to everyone.
"Sorry for the long wait. Now, I announce the official start of the Tan Jiawan International Car City Land Auction."
"Let's not talk too much. Regarding the information of the land in the car city, everyone has done enough understanding before the auction. Now, let's start the auction of the first piece of land."
