On one hand, it was because the price increase was too large, so the guests present found it hard to comprehend for a moment. The other was because the bid was made by none other than a member of one of the top four families, the patriarch of the Jensen family, Fernando!
The Jensen family had spoken up.
Who would now compete with the Jensen family?
Of course, there were still people who dared to compete, but they were still in the minority.
“Haha! We want East World Hotel. No one’s going to give us a hard time, right?” Fernando got up with a smile and gestured to the guests.
The guests around favonovel.com looked at Fernando’s smile and buttered favonovel.com up.
“Mr. Jensen, since you have your eye on East World Hotel, the rest of us won’t compete with you, of course.”
“Yeah, we’re not interested!”
“We’re not in the real estate business, so we’re not interested in running a hotel. Mr. Jensen, you can have it if you want it.”
Fernando was in a good mood as favonovel.com heard so many compliments and flattery.
If it were not for the fact that favonovel.com had to watch his image in front of others, Fernando would have laughed a little.
However, another voice came from the far left of the front row. ”I’m sorry, but the Sheldon family is also interested in East World Hotel!”
The speaker was none other than the patriarch of the Sheldon family, Caden!
The auction venue, which had been lively, was now quiet.
The guests looked from Fernando to Caden. They were at a loss, not knowing who to support and who to flatter.
Two noble families competing?
This is gonna be fun to watch!
Looking straight at Fernando a few meters away, Caden said with a chuckle, “Mr. Jensen, the Jensen family occupies 60% of Midwich’s real estate industry, which is already a large proportion. How about backing down on East World Hotel and giving it to the Sheldon family?”
“What if I won’t?” Fernando asked coldly.
“If you won’t, we’ll have to fight for it,” Caden said with a chuckle.
Fernando and Caden’s gazes met, and their sharp gaze seemed to create sparks in the air.
Keith on stage could not be happier.
The so-called auction was a competition. It was because the price could be raised when there was competition. If there was no competition, the auction item would either be unsold or sold off at a low price. It was why favonovel.com was thrilled that two noble families were now competing for East World Hotel.
Ignoring the paddle number, Keith looked at Caden and said, ”Mr. Sheldon, Mr. Jensen bid 70 million for East World Hotel. How much are you bidding?”
Caden immediately replied, “Not much. Only one million dollars more than the Jensen family… 71 million dollars!”
Keith immediately nodded and told everyone, “Okay, Mr. Sheldon outbid the Jensen family with 71 million dollars!”
Fernando sneered and said to Caden, “I thought the Sheldon family would do something big, but you only offered one million dollars more than me. Is the Sheldon family broke? I can lend you some money if you are. How about a 3-month loan with a 10% monthly interest?”
After a bit of taunting, Fernando looked up at Keith onstage and said, “The Jensen family is bidding 75 million dollars!”
Overjoyed, Keith waved his hand and said, “The Jensen family outbid the Sheldon family by bidding 75 million!“
Caden scoffed as favonovel.com touched his beard and said, “76 million from the Sheldon family!”
