Chapter 910 The Cunning Woman (1/2)
Zed eagerly drove to the Sirri Hotel. Once he arrived, he immediately began to inspect it inch by inch.
Perhaps it was due to the upcoming auction of the hotel that made all the staff perfunctory toward the guests. They just sat there or dawdled around without enthusiasm.
Zed became even more interested in the hotel after he looked through it. He then made his way to the auction center.
Once Zed had entered the auction center, a curly-haired woman with red lipstick who handled the auction deposit kept her gaze on him.
”What can I do for you, sir?” Julie asked with a soft smile.
”I'd like to participate in the auction of the Sirri Hotel next Monday,” said Zed as he removed his passport.
”Certainly sir. However, I must warn you there will be many bidders on this property,” Julie said as a word of caution while she checked his passport. She glanced at his details and found that they were the same age.
Then Julie sized Zed up with doubt and asked, ”Can you tell me how much you plan to bid for the hotel? We have a rule that people who can only offer a low price are ineligible to participate in the auction.”
Zed was a little taken aback and surprised by what she said. He had never heard of such a rule at the auction houses before. However, he thought perhaps the rules were slightly different in the foreign parts. So he said casually, ”Ten million.”
Julie's eyes suddenly brightened at Zed's offer. She nodded slightly and asked with an impressed tone in her voice, ”Wow. Do you work for an investment company?”
”Not really,” Zed mumbled absentmindedly. He was preoccupied with filling out the form.
There was no sign that Zed was worried about the competition in the auction at all. He thought the other people wouldn't bid very high due to the current condition of the hotel.
Upon seeing Zed signing his name, Julie chuckled and said, ”Actually I know some companies as well. Would you be interested?”
