As soon the tir hit zero, Carn expected the bidding for the first 5 slots to be rather slow. After all, these people had barely been given any ti to slowly absorb the information and ponder over their actions.
However, reality revealed a different story from her expectations.
Through the screen, Carn’s 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, Carn couldn’t fathom why so many were willing to bid for the slots so readily. She had to rub her eyes a few tis to see if she was imagining things.
And sure enough, when she rubbed her eyes, the bidding instantly went up by a few thousand.
anwhile, a similar situation was happening on Wei Xing’s 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 Carn’s 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 consurs that their products were safe to consu or use.
Beads of sweat started dropping on Wei Xing’s forehead when he saw the first 5 slots were still being bidded fiercely. He quickly sent a ssage asking Carn if their website would overload or not.
As the orchestrator, he was shocked by the hype and the explosive reception, but the sa 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.
"I’ve 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 ti to take advantage of her to obtain the slot in advance.
They were besties, yes, but business cos first. At the end of the day, she needed to nurture her own private guild that she had kept from the public.
If she couldn’t obtain these slots, then her private guild would stagnate, and by then, Project Genesis would turn into a laughingstock among many.
However, that wasn’t 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 Kai’s face twitched at the astronomical value for just a asly 5 slots.
He wouldn’t understand their predicant, considering that one of the slots was already reserved for him from Xu Feng’s side.
"Damn it, just which bastard has that much funds in that short amount of ti?" Zhao Xin clicked her tongue.
Ever since Xu Feng gave them a heads-up, she had mobilized whatever fund she could use at the mont to get the first few slots to her hands. Yet who would have thought that OneMandia’s stream would entice many others to bid for the external auction?
Right at this mont, 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 Xin’s eyes lit up after hearing the great news.
"Imdiately increase our bidding by 60 thousand dollars. I want to see who else dares to compete with
in terms of wealth." She added, clearly confident of winning the first 5 slots.
500 thousand dollars wasn’t 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 wasn’t trivial and would be hard to gather in a short amount of ti.
anwhile, Zhao Kai had long lost his sense of rationality when seeing his eldest sister frantically bidding for the slots.
’There’s 90 slots in total… is there a need to spend so much money on it?’ He cried inwardly, feeling extrely worried internally. He wasn’t 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 sa could not be applied to him. He might have been afraid of his grandfather, but that was rely 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 exclaid loudly.
"Perfect, let’s keep up with the montum and proceed to bid 200 thousand dollars as soon as the next slots co 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.
’380 thousand dollars for 10 slots is worth it.’ She thought to herself. What she believed in was her vision and intuition to know when sothing was bound to succeed.
