Charlie nodded slightly.
He was also determined to buy over his parent's former residence.
After all, this old mansion carried the last memories of the tthat he had spent together with his parents, and this was of great significance to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs several foreclosed cars were gradually sold off, the auction entered the real estate section. 2 There were thirteen properties in this judicial auction, but amongst the thirteen properties, the property with the cheapest starting price was the old mansion where Charlie's parents had once lived in.
The main reason was because the old mansion had already been classified as a historical heritage site in the city. Therefore, the new owner of the mansion would be prohibited from demolishing or refurbishing the mansion.
Most importantly, anyone who bought over this old mansion would have a certain obligation to protect it.
The mansion was very old, and it could not be demolished or refurbished to obtain even greater economical value. The new owner would not even be allowed to rebuild the mansion. Therefore, there would basically be no developers who would be interested in this old mansion. 5 No matter who bought over this mansion, they would not have the chance to make a profit out of it.
However, both Charlie and Helen were waiting to bid for this old mansion.
As this old mansion had the lowest starting price, as soon as the real estate auction began, the auctioneer placed photos of the old mansion up on the big screen and said, "The first property that we are going to auction off today is a protected old mansion located at the entrance of an old street. The specific information about this old mansion can be found in the auction manual itself. So, I will not make any further introduction about this mansion, and we will start the bid directly. The starting price for the mansion is $ 880,000 you can begin bidding now!" 3 As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, Helen raised the sign in her hand immediately and said, "One million dollars." "Okay!" The auctioneer immediately said, "Bidder No. 3 4 bids one million dollars. Is there an amount higher than one million dollars?" A plain and ordinary-looking middle-aged man who was seated in the corner immediately raised the sign in his hand and said, "One and a half million dollars." This middle-aged man was none other than Isaac's driver.
"One and a half million dollars?" The auctioneer was shocked and dumbfounded. The starting price for this mansion was only $880,000, yet after only two rounds of bidding, the price of the mansion had already been increased to $1,500,000. This was almost double the price! After all, there was no room for any appreciation in the price of this property! The only thing a person could do after spending one and a half million dollars to buy over this property was to continue holding onto it.
As the auctioneer was really surprised, before he could regain his senses, Helen had already raised the sign in her hand as she said seriously, "I will pay two million dollars for it." The auctioneer was even more surprised.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe immediately looked at Helen and reminded her," Bidder No. 34,1 have to remind you that it is completely forbidden for you to demolish, develop or rebuild this mansion. It has to be kept in its original shape and condition according to the requirements of the city. At the stime, you will also have to meet certain maintenance obligations and bear the responsibility of looking after the mansion as a heritage site. Are you certain that you are aware of all these special requirements?" Helen nodded and said, "I know it for sure." Although the auctioneer was really confused, he nodded and said, "Bidder No. 34 is bidding two million dollars for the property. Is there any other offer higher than two million dollars?" The middle-aged man seated in the corner immediately said, "I will pay three million dollars!" 5 "Three million dollars..." The auctioneer wiped the sweat off his head as he continued to ask, "Bidder No. 22 is offering three million dollars now. Is there any higher bid than this?" "Four million dollars!" Helen said as she raised her hand without any hesitation at all.
As soon as the auctioneer heard this, he hurriedly said, "Bidder No. 34 is offering..." Before he could even finish his sentence, Isaac's driver said loudly, "I will pay five million dollars for it!" At this time, Helen did not even give the auctioneer any tto think as she said directly, "I will pay eight million dollars for it!" Eight million dollars?! Everyone in the auction hall could not help but exclaim in shock! This old mansion was practically worthless in the eyes of everyone else who were participating in this auction.
It was an old and dilapidated old mansion without any commercial value, and it would also be very uncomfortable for anyone to live in it. 2

If anyone were to live in a house like that, it would be better to simply rent one of the low-cost houses in the city. So, everyone had initially thought that this old mansion would basically remain unsold since it had a starting price of $880,000.
However, who would have known that an old mansion with no commercial value oxworth would eventually be pushed up to a price of eight million dollars within such a short period of time? 7 RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
