Fine Then I Will bid $800,000,000

Will you perform strict background checks before sell? Otherwise this uranium could slip into the wrong hands, proving to be deadly, as I am sure you are aware.

Yes I am aware. Of course, a lot of nations do not have nukes, and want the uranium for nuclear power stations (thats why Swilatia mines uranium.)

UMCI has taken interest in your uranium mine. We wish to buy it from you at the price of $5 billion. We hope that we can be the winners in this competition.

Its not how high he placed it. It that he increased the bid by more than 4 billion.

Antonov Khruschev crooked his neck to the left and right, hearing a series of satisfying cracks. He put down the paper and looked over at the phone. Sighing, he picked up the phone, "Go."

He listened patiently. "Goddamn kids.. Bid 35 billion. Let's buy the mine for an UPSTANDING company that doesn't seem to pull assets out of its ass."

YMJOC bids 35 billion swillas.

OOC: All of you are idiots, and CR, UMCI isn't pulling assest out of it's ass, we actually have many times that money considering UMCI consist of almost all companies based in 3 nations with offices in many more.

OOC: I have my own reservations on where the money used to purchase those companies came from. Regardless, please try to keep it IC, as was my post.

35 billion and one cent.

35.5 billion.

35 billion and one cent.
I said enough of the +1 cent joke, this is not a humour thread

35.5 billion.

35.5 billion, and one DOLLAR.

35.5 billion, and one DOLLAR.

-sigh- 35.501 billion.

35.5 billion, and one DOLLAR.
all payments are to be made in SWILLAS

What's the exchange rate between Swillas and Dollars?

I will be willing to give 400 trillion dollars for the use of the Uranium Mine.

I mean 400 trillion swillas for th Uranium Mine.

What's the exchange rate between Swillas and Dollars?
One swilla is worth about 1.5 american dollars

35.501 billion swillas still stands.

I mean 400 trillion swillas for th Uranium Mine.
You can't bid more mony than you have, as you do not even have 1 trillion swillas.

First check out your nation (http://www.nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=Comstan)

Then see mine (http://www.nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=Swilatia)

Too funny.

One swilla is worth about 1.5 american dollars

Ok...I'm dropping out of the bid.

This is going so slow, this is pets market. If we had it my way we would be going in at least triple digit billion's by now. Oh well, 45 billion swillas.

1 trillion in Diamonds, and that is my last Bid!

OOC: *mutters* idiot, with that bid you're not gonna get any profit for years! we don't even know how much uranium is in the mine! You're just gonna get ripped off.

On a better note: w00t! 1,200 post!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! I'm a Cybersheep Farmer!!!

Actually I want to know how much uranium is in this mine? I don't want be forking out over $1 trillion for a uranium mine that isn't going to pay for itself.

It is a large mine, but it has really just opened, and it is unknown, but it is estimated that there is more than 30 million pounds there.

1 trillion in Diamonds, and that is my last Bid!
In diamonds??

Diamonds are worthless as far as acquiring assets go. Diamond value comes and goes according to the stockpiles.

Our bid of 35.501 billion swillas stands.

I don't see how this mine is very beneficial. We'll be paying over $40 billion at the least for this mine. Then we'll be paying another couple of 10 millions to setup the infrastructure to get the uranium out. Now at let's just say 30 million lbs of uranium and then we use the projected price of uranium which is suppose to be near $115 per pound within the next 5 years, and you see that we don't make over $4 billion in profit from the mine. That is a negative net profit of at least $36.5 billion.

I'm going to discuss with TSS about this mine before making the decision to bid or leave. We'll inform you on the decision in a few hours. Thank You.

Antonov Khruschev sat at his desk for another exciting day at work. He read his daily report, finding himself smiling as he neared the end, "Good, the kids learned something. I thought he might actually blow more than we were "going" to on a uranium mine...." He looked over at his second, the Co-Chair of YMJOC from DPUO's MOil, "Alright, let's withdraw our bid then? Let that fella pay a trillion diamonds out his nose."

No. We do the mining, we pay to get the uranium out. You do not actually use the mine, you just get all the uranium we extract from it.

OOC: Who are you calling kid? My real motives were to make you fork out cash and actually buy the thing at a loss. So much for your "kid" concept of UMCI, as it seems the "kid" was going to overtake the "adult" but felt some generosity for the "adult" and pushed this info to him.

Swilitia: That still doesn't matter. If we buy the mine, it will be at over $40 billion. I don't see any profit in that.

IC: Seeing that all competition has left, we are asking when will this bidding end?
