Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 398: Slots Bidding War

As soon the timer hit zero, Carmen expected the bidding for the first 5 slots to be rather slow. After all, these people had barely been given any time to slowly absorb the information and ponder over their actions.

However, reality revealed a different story from her expectations.

Through the screen, Carmenʼs eyes widened in shock and surprise when she saw the bidding price had already gone to 10,000 dollars in a short 1 minute.

”Are there many rich people in the third-grade city?” Astonished, Carmen couldnʼt fathom why so many were willing to bid for the slots so readily. She had to rub her eyes a few times to see if she was imagining things.

And sure enough, when she rubbed her eyes, the bidding instantly went up by a few thousand.

Meanwhile, a similar situation was happening on Wei Xingʼs side as his mouth was left agape.

”This actually works?” Wei Xing was startled by the number of bidders who were actually fiercely bidding for the slots and not just idling around.

Despite the limited information being shown, followed by his ridiculous streaming that was cut short. He seriously doubted anyone would bother with the slots.

In fact, there were multiple occasions when he was skeptical of Carmenʼs plan.

As a reporter, Wei Xing knew that withholding any information while trying to sell a product would usually result in failure.

Not even the big companies were willing to conceal their product details, especially those from the food industry as they needed to label all nutrient facts and ingredients used. After all, not only was it required by the law, but it was also a guarantee to the consumers that their products were safe to consume or use.

Beads of sweat started dropping on Wei Xingʼs forehead when he saw the first 5 slots were still being bidded fiercely. He quickly sent a message asking Carmen if their website would overload or not.

As the orchestrator, he was shocked by the hype and the explosive reception, but the same could not be said for the others who were bidding.

Zhao Enterprise

”Quickly increase the bid by 10,000 dollars again!” Zhao Xin instructed her little brother from behind.

”Iʼve already done that,” Zhao Kai smiled bitterly, his fingers hurting from constantly clicking the bidding.

”Then increase it again. I must get at least 10 slots.” Zhao Xin snorted coldly and gave him a light smack at the back of his head.

She knew Feng Qing Rou was currently returning to her Feng Enterprise, so it was the perfect time to take advantage of her to obtain the slot in advance.

They were besties, yes, but business comes first. At the end of the day, she needed to nurture her own private guild that she had kept from the public.

If she couldnʼt obtain these slots, then her private guild would stagnate, and by then, Project Genesis would turn into a laughingstock among many.

However, that wasnʼt even the worst part, given the money loss that was dumped into the project would be severe. The shareholders currently trusted her, but they were also prone to change their attitude and stance very quickly as well once the result was not ideal.

”Sis, the bidding is about to reach 100 thousand dollars.” Zhao Kaiʼs face twitched at the astronomical value for just a measly 5 slots.

He wouldnʼt understand their predicament, considering that one of the slots was already reserved for him from Xu Fengʼs side.

”Damn it, just which bastard has that much funds in that short amount of time?” Zhao Xin clicked her tongue.

Ever since Xu Feng gave them a heads-up, she had mobilized whatever fund she could use at the moment to get the first few slots to her hands. Yet who would have thought that OneManMediaʼs stream would entice many others to bid for the external auction?

Right at this moment, the door was knocked from outside.

”Enter,” Zhao Xin quickly said, her gaze remaining at the bidding.

”Miss Xin, I managed to get a funding of 500 thousand dollars available for us to use freely.” Anna Liu, her secretary, entered the office and reported cheerfully.

”Great!” Zhao Xinʼs eyes lit up after hearing the great news.

”Immediately increase our bidding by 60 thousand dollars. I want to see who else dares to compete with me in terms of wealth.” She added, clearly confident of winning the first 5 slots.

500 thousand dollars wasnʼt much when counting the overall assets for the Zhao Enterprise, but to have it be able to be used freely was another story.

After all, 500 thousand dollars was the equivalent of half a million dollars. This kind of money wasnʼt trivial and would be hard to gather in a short amount of time.

Meanwhile, Zhao Kai had long lost his sense of rationality when seeing his eldest sister frantically bidding for the slots.

ʼThereʼs 90 slots in total… is there a need to spend so much money on it?ʼ He cried inwardly, feeling extremely worried internally. He wasnʼt worried about Zhao Xin, but rather his future and safety once she found out that he got a slot for free.

Xu Feng could easily neglect Zhao Xin, but the same could not be applied to him. He might have been afraid of his grandfather, but that was merely out of the seniority aspect, but toward Zhao Xin, he was afraid due to his guilt and gratefulness.

Without her secret support, he feared that he might have to live a terrible life. Read new chapters at empire

As his gaze locked on the bidding, Zhao Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief when they had won the first 5 slots.

”Sis, we won the bid at the price of 180 thousand dollars.” He exclaimed loudly.

”Perfect, letʼs keep up with the momentum and proceed to bid 200 thousand dollars as soon as the next slots come up.” Zhao Xin clasped her hands and commanded. From the outlook, the faster she obtained the necessary slots, the earlier she could relax and watch from the sideline.

ʼ380 thousand dollars for 10 slots is worth it.ʼ She thought to herself. What she believed in was her vision and intuition to know when something was bound to succeed.
