Ultimately, he didn't trust Zuo Ling.

Things happened too suddenly. The temptation Zuo Ling offered was strong enough, but also deadly enough.

He was just a high-level employee and couldn't afford the consequences of an accident.

But unable to resist the temptation, he came up with a compromise.

"No problem, all the stones will be in place by 6 pm."

Thus, the cooperation was achieved.

After Zuo Ling left, the general manager thought it over and over again, fearing that he could not bear the responsibility, so he reported to the major shareholder.

After listening, the major shareholder remained silent for a long time.

The general manager was extremely nervous; he really hoped to close this deal.

"Notify the peripheral buyers first, and then notify the super buyers after the stones arrive. Two hours is enough time for them to get there."

There is an insurmountable gap between the rich.

"Outer buyers" refers to those who are wealthy but not quite at the level of super-rich.

The general manager breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his brow.

The major shareholder's statement implies that he is covering for him.

With the economy in a slump, hotels are having a tough time.

The successful bid for the rough stone also brought considerable benefits to the hotel.

Zuo Ling used the same method as when he bought the Tank 300, spending 200,000 yuan to buy a second-hand van.

She also bought twenty large metal boxes and had them delivered to her cargo truck.

The stones were placed into the box one by one, except for a few larger stones that couldn't fit, which were placed in a separate pile.

More than 800 stones weighed down the truck's wheels, causing them to sink an inch.

Fearing the cargo box wouldn't be able to withstand the weight, half of the metal crate was removed and placed inside the storage compartment, to be taken out again when delivering the stones.

After finishing my work, I bought two oyster omelets and a fried rice cake from a street food stall to fill my stomach.

With several hours to go before the appointed time, Zuo Ling really wanted to explore the once world-famous Licheng, but she had important business to attend to that evening, her mind was a bit chaotic, and she wasn't in the mood.

After finishing my meal, I set my alarm and went back to my room to catch up on some sleep.

The cargo area is not as comfortable as an off-road vehicle, and the waterfall kept humming.

Zuo Ling didn't have the patience to soothe it, so she patted it twice, and it calmed down.

From Lingzhou to Licheng, I didn't rest much on the way, and I fell asleep in a daze, half-awake.

I slept until the alarm rang before waking up.

Rub your face vigorously to clear your head.

After being completely wrapped up from head to toe, I drove the van to the hotel.

When Zuo Ling arrived, it was already 5:30 p.m.

The general manager paced back and forth in front of the revolving door, stamping his feet in frustration.

Upon seeing Zuo Ling, who was wrapped up tightly, his eyes lit up with an alarming gleam.

"Quickly, quickly, quickly, someone come here, someone come here, unload the truck, unload the truck."

A group of well-trained waiters suddenly appeared, all tall and fit, making Zuo Ling's mouth water.

As expected of a near five-star hotel, just looking at it makes me feel happy.

The general manager was all smiles, a stark contrast to his earlier anxious demeanor.

"Everything is arranged, and we're just waiting for you to arrive."

He was genuinely afraid that Zuo Ling would stand him up, even with a 1 million yuan guarantee, he was still afraid!

"I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll rely entirely on your support tonight."

Zuo Ling would still say polite things.

"Of course, of course, it's mutually beneficial, mutually beneficial."

The general manager spoke modestly, but his eyes kept glancing at the large metal box.

Upon arriving at the showroom, the general manager asked Zuo Ling, "How do you think we should arrange the displays?"

Zuo Ling had a plan in mind:

"The stones in the metal boxes with the same number are piled up, making a total of 8 piles. A sealed bid, starting at 100 million. Whoever bids the highest gets it."

She didn't have time to auction them off one by one; she bundled them together for quick and easy sales.

Looking at the 20 large metal boxes, the general manager swallowed hard. "Eight piles, starting price 100 million?"

Are you out of your mind?! Daring to set such a high starting price, aren't you afraid the auction will fail?

He certainly hoped for the highest possible price, but the hotel could only get a share if the property was sold.

If you can't sell them, it's all for nothing.

Zuo Ling has her own pricing standards.

In New South Wales, 40 pieces of jade sold for as much as 40 million.

There are more than 800 stones in total, with more than 100 stones in each pile. Is it not just right to price it at 100 million? Where is it too expensive?

Based on my experience selling stones in New South Wales, it's unlikely that a large quantity of stones will remain unsold.

At least two or three piles can be sold.

The general manager twitched his lips. "Fine, the stone is yours. You decide."
