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 him looked at Fernando's smile and buttered him 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 he heard so many compliments and flatter
Caden was so mad that his beard trembled, and he said, "I'm still adding one million dollars. 81 million dollars!"Fernando sneered and said, "Do you think I won't add more? I bid 85 million!""86 million!"Fernando was not backing down.The guests present were so shocked that their scalps tingled.They were two of the top four families in Midwich.The competition between the Sheldon family and the Jensen family was intense. No one was backing down!East World Hotel's price was now close to 90 million, which was something the vast majority of guests did not have. They could only watch the bidding greedily.The Yale family seemed uninterested and remained silent throughout."Mom, aren't we going to bid?" Sherman asked with a smile.Sherleen shook her head and said, "We came to the auction today for Dr. Humphrey's 30 medical books. I'm not interested in anything else. Besides, the Yale family is not short of business. We're having problems keeping all our subsidiaries in contro
It was a threat from two noble families! An outright threat!If the average person were to confront the Jensen family and the Sheldon family at the same time, they would probably have peed their pants.However, Sean was undaunted as the look on his face did not change at all."Did you hear what I said?" Fernando slammed onto the table and shouted.Caden also snapped, "Young man, you have an exaggerated opinion of your abilities..."Sean held up the auction paddle again before he could finish speaking."I've changed my mind. I'll raise my bid by 20 million to a total of 120 million for East World Hotel!"120 million!Before Caden and Fernando could increase their bid, Sean did it first!Besides that, he added 20 million right away!The guests were so shocked that their brains were buzzing as if they had a hive of bees in their brains.Sean's action could be said to leave no face for the two noble families. It was almost equivalent to humiliating them in front of everyone.Th
Sean turned to look at Fernando and asked with a smile, "It's 150 million now. Mr. Jensen, are you going to continue competing with me?"Fernando's face was so gloomy that he wanted to say yes, but he could not make up his mind at the sky-high price of 150 million.After all, the momentum Sean was building was too powerful.There was no way Fernando could guarantee that he could outbid Sean, so what if Sean kept increasing the price?Keith on stage smiled and reminded him, "Mr. Lennon bid 150 million for East World Hotel. Is there anyone offering a higher bid? 150 million going once... 150 million going twice...""Dad!"Jonathan tugged at Fernando's sleeve again.However, Fernando hesitated to continue his competition with Sean."Sold for 150 million! Sold! East World Hotel goes to Mr. Lennon!"Keith knocked the gavel with a thud.It was settled.Sean had taken over East World Hotel for 150 million Dragon dollars.Sitting next to Sean, Zander remained calm, but Gabe was swe
After all, it was a free profit out of nowhere, and it was so big.After all, East World Hotel's net revenue was about 30 million to 40 million a year. What was the bonus for 20% of the shares?Six to eight million!That was a lot of money!"Just take it when I give it to you!" Sean said earnestly.Gabe nodded excitedly at this, "Alright, I see. I'll work hard for it, Commander!"It was getting late, and Gabe quickly drove away and returned to his place.Sean entered the hotel with Zander.As soon as Sean entered the hotel lobby, he saw all the female attendants and male security guards forming two separate lines to greet him and Zander respectfully."Welcome back, Boss!"The greeting in unison was novel to Sean and Zander.Zander said to Sean with a chuckle, "Commander, you're the boss again.""What do you mean 'again'?"Sean glared at Zander, and Zander shut up.A middle-aged woman in a black suit and skirt walked over with two slightly younger women."Boss, we receive
Then Sean went upstairs with Zander.The Harris family's auction had sent over the 30 medical books Sean had won. They were now sitting in Sean and Zander's suite.After returning to his room, Sean sat on the sofa and carefully read the 30 medical books.These 30 medical books were indeed written by Dr. Humphrey as the texts were filled with bits and pieces of Dr. Humphrey's extensive medical practice.Thirty books were the true portrayal of Dr. Humphrey's medical career and the concentration of his experience and knowledge.Sean lost track of time as he read, and it was already 1 a.m. at some point."Time to rest, Commander."Zander came over and said."What time is it?" Sean asked."It's 1 a.m."Zander replied helplessly.It was only 10 p.m. when they went upstairs, and Sean had been reading for more than three hours, which left Zander speechless."What great books. Spending ten million to buy them is worth every penny!"Sean patted the book in his hand and said with som
"It's because I also study medicine, but I figured out most of my medical skills on the battlefield. Although it's effective, it's unorthodox. So I have long wanted to study professionally," Sean replied without holding back.Sherman was instantly awestruck and looked at Sean with some admiration.After a long time, the 30 medical books were finished being photocopied.Zander helped bind the books and had Sherman check them to ensure they were correct before leaving with the 30 medical books."Mr. Lennon, thank you for this anyway. You're a friend of the Yale family from now on. If you ever get into trouble in Midwich, just come to me. I won't stand idly by."Sherman said earnestly to Sean.It was the benefit Sean got from not pushing the Yale family too hard at auction and backing down.Though it was unknown whether gaining the friendship of an influential family would be useful in the future, it was better than gaining an enemy."Yeah, got it."Sean nodded with a smile.She
Sean had Dr. Humphrey's medical books, so he felt nothing, but Zander was going crazy.Now that Sean had said they were going out for a walk, Zander was thrilled, of course."Commander, you're finally moving... Okay, okay, okay, we'll go out now."Zander quickly freshened up, left the hotel with Sean, and walked down Central Street.Perhaps because it was Sunday today, there were a lot of pedestrians on the street. Most of them were a family of three leisurely walking on the streets or young couples walking hand in hand.Midwich's economy was much more prosperous than Dorodo, and it was indeed a Dragon Kingdom city as its financial power was much stronger than that of the City-State Union in the south.Sean and Zander looked at the many shops on both sides of the street while walking leisurely and occasionally buying some food to try. Before they knew it, night fell.When walking past a junction, there was suddenly the sound of braking and then a loud bang.Sean and Zander imme
