Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere - Chapter 1695

Chapter 1695: Participating in the Auction Chapter 1695: Participating in the Auction Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After putting down his phone, Connor glanced at Yama beside him.

Based on what Chelsea had just said, Connor could confirm that his father indeed had a bodyguard named Yama.

However, as Yama himself had mentioned, he had already passed away twenty years ago.

This matched the information he received from Yama.

Thus, Connor suspected that the person beside him might indeed be his father’s bodyguard.

The fact that this person had never shown hostility and had multiple opportunities to harm Connor lent some credibility to his story.

Though he was leaning towards believing Yama’s claim, he still couldn’t fully trust him.

With a gentle tone, he said, “Since you’ve found me now, you don’t need to continue scavenging for a living.

I’ll take you to a hotel and get you a room.

You can stay there.” “Sure!” Yama replied without hesitation.

After a while, Connor found a hotel with high-end decor and excellent security.

His purpose in arranging Yama in a hotel was to observe him closely.

The hotel corridors and entrances were monitored, so he would be able to know what Yama was doing at any given time.

He got Yama a suite, and he paid for six months upfront.

To him, the cost was negligible at this point.

The chosen suite directly faced a corridor camera on the eighteenth floor.

If Yama wanted to leave the suite, he would have to go through the corridor, giving Connor a clear view of his activities.

“From now on, you’ll stay here,” Connor said softly after entering the room.

“Alright!” Yama nodded in agreement.

“This hotel has its own restaurant.

If you get hungry, you can go to the lobby on the ground floor.

I’ve allocated a dining budget of one hundred thousand yuan for you.

So, after you eat, you won’t need to pay; just give them your room number,” Connor said as he placed some cash on the table.

He continued, “This money is for you.

Keep it for emergencies.” “Alright!” In response to his monotonous agreement, Connor joked, “Is ‘alright’ the only word you know?

I spent so much money on you, and you can’t even say ‘thank you’?” “I’ll repay you in the future, so I don’t need to say thank you now,” he replied.

“You don’t even know who you are right now, and you’re talking about repaying me?” Connor chuckled and continued, “Alright, I’m leaving.

Stay here and let me know if you need anything.” “Okay!” He sighed internally at Yama’s unchanging response and walked out of the room.

After leaving Yama’s room, he headed straight for the hotel manager.

“Sir, is there something you need?” The hotel manager treated Connor with exceptional politeness, knowing that he had just booked a six-month stay with a substantial meal budget.

“Starting today, I want you to monitor the guest in room 1802.

Keep track of when he leaves and if anyone visits him.

Document everything, and I’ll find you in a month,” Connor instructed the manager in a low voice.

“Sir, I’m sorry, but this involves our guests’ privacyaEUR|” the manager began to object.

Connor cut him off, saying expressionlessly, “Give me your bank account number.” “Sir, what do you mean?” The manager was bewildered.

“Stop the nonsense and give me your bank account number,” Connor repeated impatiently.

After a moment of hesitation, the manager reluctantly provided his bank account number.

Connor transferred fifty thousand yuan to the manager’s account through mobile banking and said, “Consider this a deposit.

I’ll send another fifty thousand in a month.

Is a total of one hundred thousand dollars enough?” “It’saEUR| enoughaEUR|” The manager was left dumbfounded by Connor’s offer.

He stammered his reply.

The manager definitely would accept this deal.

He didn’t have to do muchaEUR”just watch Yama for a month and get paid a hundred thousand yuan.

Such a windfall was hard to come by.

Connor smiled at the manager, then walked away.

With Yama’s situation taken care of, Connor returned home.

After a busy day, things were falling into place, especially with Yuna becoming a shareholder in Connor’s company.

The organizers of the bidding event wouldn’t dare ignore Yuna, and his company secured the qualification to participate with ease.

The other companies participating in the bidding were indifferent towards Connor’s Stormbound Real Estate.

They were unaware of the formidable background supporting the company and perceived it as just another recently established small firm.

A week passed quickly.

The bidding event was finally about to begin.

At 8 AM, Connor and Queta left Stormbound Tower and headed straight to the venue of the bidding event.

“Qiaoqiao, how much do you think the other major families will bid for this piece of land?” he asked her as he drove.

She hesitated for a moment after hearing the question, then whispered, “I think they might offer up to eight billion dollars at most…” “Eight billion?” His expression showed a touch of surprise upon hearing this number.

He hadn’t expected the land to be worth so much.

“This piece of land has the best location and is the largest in Yarlford right now.

If we secure it, we can earn a significant profit no matter what we do with it.

However, the condition is that the land acquisition cost needs to stay under eight billion dollars.

Going beyond that would leave very little profit margin for the company.

Moreover, it’s crucial to consider that a significant initial investment in land acquisition might burden these companies financially.

While your Empire World Corporation is financially strong enough to handle it, other companies in Yarlford wouldn’t have the same luxury,” she explained.

“Since they can offer a maximum of eight billion, what if I raise the bid to one hundred billion?

Do you think we can still make a profit after securing the land?” he asked solemnly.
