149: Chapter 149 The Swiss Evaluation Team!

Shen Zhou couldn't help but chuckle.

"Who upset you? Tell me, and we'll find a chance to deal with her!"

Shen Zhou gently stroked Xue Shuangshuang's head.

Xue Shuangshuang was different from other women; her personality was quite gentle.

Xue Shuangshuang felt more of a sense of dependency toward Shen Zhou.

This also gave Shen Zhou a feeling as if he were raising a pet.

Furthermore, as he traveled around the world with this pet, the pet had become even more docile.

This gave him an extremely strong sense of cultivation.

"It's just a pity that Shuangshuang isn't a twin-tailed loli."

Shen Zhou felt quite sentimental, and the images of Han Bingqing and her best friend and roommate, Tang Xue, immediately flashed through his mind.

As his thoughts returned to the present, Xue Shuangshuang pressed her body tightly against Shen Zhou's side, her voice becoming even softer.

"It's not that anyone is bullying me, it's just that when I went to work recently, I brought a few different bags, and then they recognized them."

"Then some people started making snide remarks and saying all sorts of nonsense."

Xue Shuangshuang even sounded a bit angry as she spoke.

Some people said she was clinging to a wealthy benefactor, and had even found a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Regarding this, she begged to differ.

The man I found is clearly a young, handsome man!

"It's fine, don't pay them any mind. If you're unhappy at work, then we'll just change jobs."

"Whatever industry you want to go into, I'll find a way for you."

Shen Zhou said.

After all, for him, Xue Shuangshuang's role was essentially that of a pet.

Only when Xue Shuangshuang was happier could he derive more emotional value from it.

Sure enough, Xue Shuangshuang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her gaze toward Shen Zhou becoming even brighter.

Meanwhile, Juliana was completely captivated by the antiques before her, even stepping forward to examine them closely.

After a good while, Juliana couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"Shen Zhou, this castle is truly excellent. The most crucial part is that the tributary surrounding the castle actually comes from the Rhine River."

"Never mind Shuangshuang, even if I were to tell the female celebrities in the circle about the advantages of this castle, they would be incredibly envious."

What Juliana was most satisfied with was the wild and unrestrained imagination of the designer of this castle.

Xue Shuangshuang also couldn't help but nod and say: "Sister is right, the environment here is indeed very livable."

Shen Zhou, however, waved his hand without hesitation.

"Miss, I've decided to buy this place. Can we finish the transfer of ownership today?"

Since he had decided to buy it, he wanted to be direct and efficient, avoiding any unnecessary dragging out of the process.

"Ah..." The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly collected herself, saying somewhat flusteredly: "Mr. Shen, this castle is a bit special. I haven't had a chance to introduce it to you yet."

"This castle is quite valuable, and there are many prospective buyers, so our company had originally planned to put this castle up for Auction."

As she spoke, the saleswoman became hesitant and stuttered.

She really didn't have the authority to sell it directly to Shen Zhou at a fixed price.

"It's over, it's over. It seems I won't be getting my commission!"

The saleswoman roared wildly in her heart. Thinking of her bonus slowly drifting away, she wished she could turn into a dragon and destroy everything before her.

"It doesn't matter. Just contact the person who can make the decision."

"Have them come over to appraise it. I don't have time to attend any Auction. I assume that as long as the price meets their expectations, closing the deal shouldn't be a problem."

Shen Zhou said indifferently.

Wasn't the purpose of going to an Auction to maximize profits?

If he offered a price that might not even be reached at an Auction.

How could the owner of the castle possibly be unwilling?

"Very well, Mr. Shen, I will contact them immediately."

The situation took a turn for the better, and the smile on the saleswoman's face became increasingly radiant as she hurriedly began to contact her immediate superior.

After some inquiries, her superior gave a clear response.

Originally, this castle was prepared for the Auction, but it hadn't entered the final process yet.

Therefore, as long as Shen Zhou could offer the right price, they could complete the transfer of property rights on the spot.

After all, if the company sent the castle to an Auction, they would eventually have to pay a certain commission to the host of the venue.

It would be better to sell it directly to Shen Zhou; this would maximize profits and allow them to recoup funds as quickly as possible.

Not long after, the sales manager brought an entire professional appraisal team and rushed to the scene.

In less than half an hour, combining the latest bank interest rates and market price fluctuations for large-scale real estate transactions, they arrived at a final price.

"Mr. Shen, sorry to keep you waiting. For Pearl Castle, the valuation we have given is three billion Euros."

"Of course, this also includes the ownership of the antiques inside the castle."

"Naturally, this also includes the premium that would be added if it were put up for Auction and the final transaction price reached."

"How do you feel about this price?"

The sales manager said to Shen Zhou quite cautiously.

After all, this was a major deal involving three billion Euros.

If he could successfully finalize this deal.

It didn't matter how much commission he could get; what was important was that he helped the company recoup funds in a timely manner and made a significant contribution.

How could the leadership above not see that?

Shen Zhou gently rubbed his chin.

He could tell that the accompanying staff were all equipped with professional badges, and these people were all from the local Swiss Bank headquarters.

Noticing Shen Zhou's gaze, the sales manager began to explain solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Shen. The appraisal team before you is from the Swiss Bank headquarters' appraisal group."

"The items appraised by them have reached a maximum value of ten billion Euros, and their professional competence has long been recognized throughout the European industry."

Speaking of this, the sales manager took a breath, his expression becoming much more solemn, and said:

"Furthermore, even if we finalize the deal, if Mr. Shen finds a new appraisal team and they believe the castle is not worth this price, the transaction can be voided."

"This clause can even be written into the contract we are about to sign."

The sales manager was quite confident about this.

As an industry insider, he understood the value of this appraisal group very well.

"You've misunderstood. I have no objections to this appraisal group, and I have no objections to this price either."

"Prepare the contract."

There was no ripple of emotion on Shen Zhou's face.

It was as if he didn't care about the full three billion Euros at all.

Everyone around them stared blankly.

The members of the appraisal group, who had seen the world, also had their eyes widened in shock.

"My God, have we just encountered another true big shot?"

"And this handsome Asian man is still so young!"

They had appraised the property rights of many high-value items.

But the final transactions for those items were always accompanied by time and various unexpected occurrences.
