The excitement in the exhibition hall continued; those who arrived early were the pioneers, while those who arrived late were all big shots.
On the screen, the general manager was fawning over someone, bowing and scraping. Clearly, the hotel's major shareholder had arrived.
Those who can command a smile from major shareholders are undoubtedly super-rich.
Each circle is clearly defined; don't shamelessly cross the line. If you don't have the ability, forcing your way in will only result in serious injury.
The jade experts brought by the super-rich were all holding stone-testing tools that Zuo Ling had heard of before. They would tap and examine the jade, spending half a day touching each piece of jade. Zuo Ling almost fell asleep watching them, and they still hadn't finished examining it.
Call a waiter over:
"Tell your general manager that the bidding process has ended at 1 a.m."
The point was to create an atmosphere of urgency, to make her feel rushed and not have time to watch them dawdle.
The general manager rushed over upon hearing the news, wiping the sweat from his brow as he walked inside:
"Time is too tight, many people haven't arrived yet."
It was already foreseeable that the bidding for jade would be fierce.
This is certainly good for hotels; the fiercer the competition, the higher the hotel's profits.
He had never been so publicly exposed before, and although he politely declined, he dared not refuse too harshly.
Can an ordinary person produce more than 800 pieces of high-quality jade at once?
Stones worth hundreds of millions were stuffed into a shabby van and hauled here. They were trying to look cheap and poor, and they were putting on a show of it.
Even if the auction is held at the reserve price, the woman in front of him will immediately have 800 million yuan, which is something a small-time worker like him can't afford to offend.
The two argued for a long time before finally stopping at 1:30.
After discussing the deadline, the general manager smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Several wealthy people in the city want to see you. What do you think...?"
Zuo Ling refused:
"Seeing me is useless; I'm just a pawn. I'll come again when I have the chance."
The general manager believed that Zuo Ling was not lying. Even if you exaggerated the idea that men and women each make up half the world, the world is still dominated by men.
He wouldn't believe it even if he were a ghost, that a young woman could produce so many fine jade stones at once.
Nobody's behind me? Impossible!
However, even if Zuo Ling is not the mastermind, she is still a confidante of the person behind the scenes.
Otherwise, such an important matter would not be entrusted to a young woman.
The general manager made up his own assumptions.
"Okay, okay, I'll pass it on to them. You're busy, you're busy."
The time from 8 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. was long for Zuo Ling, but it passed in the blink of an eye for those who came to participate in the bidding.
Even the best jade appraiser could not possibly examine all 800-plus stones in 5.5 hours.
The hotel prepared a lot of drinks, pastries, fruits and other food, but everyone was too busy to take much.
Busy examining the stones, adjusting funds, finding allies...
Everyone was sweating profusely, and even drinking water felt like a waste of time.
The bidding closed at 1:30 a.m.
The general manager and three hotel finance staff members carried eight bidding boxes into the suite.
When they unpacked the box, the general manager and the finance staff were stunned.
The minimum bid amount has exceeded 200 million.
220 million, 230 million, 240 million, 250 million, 260 million, 280 million, 300 million, 310 million.
Totaling 2.09 billion.
According to the agreement, the hotel will receive a commission of 209 million yuan.
The most advanced suite was awarded to the winner of the 220 million yuan bid.
Several burly men carried 150 million yuan in cash and 70 million yuan worth of gold into the house.
A stack of 1,500 thousand-yuan bills and 300 gold bars piled together is quite an eye-catching sight.
Zuo Ling took out 3 million yuan in cash and, taking advantage of the moment when she put it in the inner room, transferred it to her spatial storage.
The remaining amount is the hotel's commission and the venue fee for hosting the bidding conference.
The general manager was overjoyed. In just 16 hours, the hotel generated over 200 million yuan in revenue. This money was too easy to make!
Zuo Ling's 30 stacks of cash were verified in just a few minutes.
Fearing counterfeit money, the hotel's finance staff checked all 1,470 stacks of cash for a long time, leaving no bill unchecked.
The profits are already in hand; the general manager is quite astute.
The subsequent successful bidders, aside from letting people into the suites, never set foot there again.
The successful bidders were surprised to see Zuo Ling.
First, Zuo Ling protected herself too well, wearing a large mask and a low-brimmed hat, making it almost impossible to see her eyebrows and eyes.
Secondly, although her eyebrows and eyes are not clearly visible, it is still possible to tell that she is a young woman.
Few of the people who came to bid today are fools.
The girl is covering herself up so well, she obviously doesn't want to show her face. Forget about trying to get close to her, at most you can just hand her your business card.
They would say things like, "If you have any more jade, please contact us. We hope you will take good care of us in the future."
