The body of the 55-year-old woman was found by police in the trunk of her car last month near her home on Suzetta Place in East Auckland.
Zhong faced legal action amid claims that he owed millions of dollars to his business partners at the time of his death.
She was murdered Nov. 27, stabbed with a sharp knife in a corner of her third-floor room, Stuff reports.
Carrick Wines Ltd had been for sale for approximately 18 months prior to Zhong’s death and was placed on hold after his death.
It was then put up for sale and put up for bid earlier this month with bids closing Tuesday, Bayleys real estate agent Gary Kirk said.
He said it had been a short bidding process, with the business open for bidding for about 15 days.
Despite that, he said there had been great interest not only locally and nationally, but also from abroad.
Recipients had received offers from 11 interested parties, he said, which are now being evaluated.
Zhong suffered serious injuries to her face and neck, in an attack so cruel that she was unrecognizable to those who knew her, reports Stuff.
They could only identify her when they saw her hands.
“They have seven days to get back to everything, they are working on it. So it will be like the previous Tuesday [a result].
“We got a lot of interest, from all over the country and abroad.
“It was quite a successful tender, really … obviously it was seen everywhere, anyway.”
Meanwhile, the police are still investigating Zhong’s death, which included looking at CCTV footage.
They had been concentrating on the night of Friday, November 27, when she was last seen alive, until 10 a.m. on November 28.
Zhong was later found in the trunk of her Land Rover covered in items from her home.
• Police have previously said that anyone with information on the case should call 105, citing file number 201128/1909.
