Super Copy of Great Power Technology

At 10:00 AM, the auction began on time. The host was Lu Wanfeng, the general manager of Ruida Pharmaceutical Company. He turned on the microphone, clapped his hands, and signaled for everyone to be quiet. The previously noisy conference room immediately fell silent, and all the foreigners in the audience returned to their seats, turning their attention to Lu Wanfeng on the stage, waiting for what was to come.

"Good morning, friends from all over Asia. Since the official languages ​​used in different countries are different, many of you may not understand Chinese. To facilitate communication, I have prepared a simultaneous interpretation headset for each of you. Our staff will distribute them now, one for each person, so please do not fight over them. This simultaneous interpretation headset is produced by our sister company, Ruida Technology. It is an intelligent AI translator. You only need to speak a few sentences into the headset, and the intelligent system can determine your commonly used language, thereby realizing real-time translation."

Lu Wanfeng waved towards the door, and a team of more than a dozen staff members, each carrying a paper bag, entered the conference room. They dispersed and, according to their seating arrangement from back to front, distributed translation headsets to the foreigners in the conference room. Those who encountered difficulties using them were given guidance. Ten minutes later, all the translation headsets were in place and successfully activated. Now, when Lu Wanfeng spoke, the teams from various countries could understand him through the translation headsets.

"As everyone knows, the reason we, Ruida Pharmaceuticals, are holding this auction is to auction off the Strong Foundation No. 4 gene enhancement drug, which includes 50 million doses of the drug's inventory and 50 million doses of pre-production. Before the auction, I must reiterate the efficacy of the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug. The Strong Foundation No. 4 drug is a gene enhancement drug developed by our company's R&D team specifically for the Chinese physique. After injection, it can comprehensively enhance physical fitness, even breaking human limits in areas such as strength and speed, enabling one to do things that were previously unimaginable. Comprehensively enhancing the body's immune system and preventing and treating zombie viruses are just some of the side effects of the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug."

"Of course, the above refers to the general effects of the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug on the Chinese people. The citizens of your respective countries are mainly of East Asian descent, and genetically similar to us Chinese. Injecting Strong Foundation No. 4 can also have some effect on them, but it will certainly not be as good as the effect on the Chinese. If the enhancement of physical fitness can reach half that of the Chinese, that would be considered very good. It is normal if the effect is only one-quarter or even one-tenth. As for other races besides East Asians, according to our clinical tests, injecting Strong Foundation No. 4 drug is completely ineffective, so don't waste your energy."

Just then, a Korean raised his hand and asked, "President Lu, we understand and accept that the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug is not as effective as it is for Chinese people. What we are worried about is whether the drug's effect on strengthening the human immune system is also different, and whether it can guarantee 100% protection against the zombie virus?"

"We can guarantee that. The zombie virus isn't as terrible as everyone thinks. Even if the Strong Foundation IV injection only works at one-tenth of its effectiveness, it's more than enough to defend against and treat the zombie virus," Lu Wanfeng answered decisively and confidently. The effectiveness of Strong Foundation IV on people of Asian descent outside of China, and whether it could treat those infected with the zombie virus, had been tested in Mexico a month ago by the medical aid team, and the answer was affirmative. With detailed clinical reports as a reference, Lu Wanfeng spoke with confidence.

"Mr. Lu, I'd like to ask how effective the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug is for us mixed-race individuals. Can it fight the zombie virus?" A foreigner with yellow skin, blond hair, and blue eyes, who had some European and American features, stood up and asked.

"Oh, that's a good question. We've conducted a series of clinical tests on the efficacy of the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug in mixed-race individuals. For those with half-Chinese ancestry, the enhancement of their physical attributes is about 50% or more that of pure-blooded Chinese individuals. For those with one-quarter-Chinese ancestry, the enhancement effect is only about one-quarter. If only one-eighth of their bloodline is Chinese, and the rest is Caucasian or Black, then there's a high probability that the Strong Foundation No. 4 injection will have no effect on them. If the mixed-race individual's Asian bloodline is not from China, the drug's efficacy will be further reduced; it can only guarantee an effect for those with half-Asian ancestry."

Lu Wanfeng answered several questions of concern, then straightened his expression and began to explain the rules of today's drug auction. "There's a Chinese saying that goes, 'All men and women are friends.' You all come from different countries, and it's quite a coincidence that you've gathered here at Ruida Pharmaceutical Company today. To avoid everyone arbitrarily raising prices, which would hurt both money and relationships, we've decided that the following auction will be conducted using a sealed bid method. Next, our staff will deliver a bid sheet, an envelope, and a pen to each national team."

The Strong Foundation No. 4 reagent comes in sets of ten, each set containing ten million vials. Five million vials are in stock and can be taken immediately upon successful bidding, while the remaining five million are pre-produced and we guarantee delivery within one week. The starting bid for each set is 40 billion RMB, with no upper limit. Please note that we only accept RMB and gold; we do not accept any other currencies, including USD.

You have half an hour to discuss and decide on your bids. Once your bids are finalized, please write your price on the bid sheet and indicate the country you represent. Then, seal the bid sheet in an envelope and drop it into the mailbox at the front of the meeting room. After half an hour, the mailbox will be opened and the bids tallied. The countries representing the ten highest bids will be the successful bidders.

If your country has a large population and the situation is urgent, and you wish to auction multiple doses of the potion, you can request more bid forms and envelopes from our staff. After writing your bid, please drop it into the mailbox. We only count bids and do not limit the quantity that a single country can purchase. Okay, the 30-minute countdown has now begun, so please hurry.”

As soon as Lu Wanfeng finished speaking, a buzz of discussion broke out in the audience.

"No way, this auction is using a sealed bid method. Does that mean our previously agreed-upon bidding method is completely invalid?"

"The sealed bid isn't the main issue; the excessively high starting price is what's truly unacceptable. Ten million vials of potion, with a starting price of 40 billion RMB, averages out to 4000 RMB per vial—that's utterly outrageous." (End of Chapter)
