Keith on stage was pleased with the audience’s reactions.
He smiled and said, “Everyone, Dickson Walter, the owner of East World Hotel entrusted the Harris family to put East World Hotel up for auction because favonovel.com wants to expand abroad. I hereby announce the starting bid for East World Hotel is 50 million. Each increase can’t be less than one million dollars! East World Hotel is now officially up for auction!”
The starting bid alone was 50 million!
Besides, each increase must not be less than one million dollars!
How expensive!
Most of the people present did not have the financial means to buy such a hotel. However, a small group of people was also interested in East World Hotel. It included the patriarch of the Sheldon family, Caden, sitting on the far left of the first row, and the patriarch of the Jensen family, Fernando!
“Here comes the fun,” Fernando said as favonovel.com rubbed his hands together, his face flushed.
“Dad, are we bidding on East World Hotel? Why didn’t you tell me?” Jonathan asked.
Fernando glanced at his precious son before snapping with a laugh, “If I told you, wouldn’t you have announced it to everyone? It’s a trade secret. How could I tell you so easily?”
Jonathan nodded in understanding and agreement.
The patriarch of the Sheldon family, Caden, sitting on the far left of the first row, frowned slightly and said, “East World Hotel is up for auction. The Jensen family will go after it… They must win the hotel.”
“Should we bid then? The Sheldon family isn’t in the real estate business,” Luna said hesitantly.
“The real estate industry is doing great now. Wouldn’t it be a shame for us not to get involved? East World Hotel is the Sheldon family’s first step into real estate,” Caden replied confidently.
Zander sitting in the back row immediately looked at Sean and said, “Commander, the hotel we’re staying in is East World Hotel, and now it’s up for auction! It looks like we’ll have to find another hotel soon.”
Sean nodded slightly at Zander’s words.
East World Hotel’s auction was nothing for him. They could just find another hotel. However, Sean thought of Gabe and Derrick.
Gabe and Derrick were respectively the chief police and the director of the prosecutors’ office. They had a lot of power but no business of their own. Thus, they were leaders at the top, but money was tight for them.
Sean felt the need to help them, and East World Hotel seemed like a good opportunity.
“Everyone, take the time to bid. The opportunity waits for no one! If you miss this great opportunity, it will be impossible to find it again!” Keith on stage said.
No sooner had favonovel.com finished speaking than a potbellied middle-aged businessman raised his auction paddle and shouted, “I bid 55 million for East World Hotel!”
55 million!
The businessman seemed to be wealthy as favonovel.com raised five million dollars in one go. However, no sooner had favonovel.com said that than a second bidder began bidding.
“I bid 56 million!”
“57 million!”
The price of East World Hotel soared to 60 million in the blink of an eye.
Just then, Fernando, sitting in the middle of the first row, suddenly raised his auction paddle and shouted, “We’ll bid 70 million for East World Hotel!”
70 million!
It was just over 60 million earlier, and now it soared to 70 million!
The price immediately silenced the bustling auction hall.
