Chapter 527: How much money, we don’tck money


    Christy Xenos picked up the cup, blew a few breaths, and carefully sipped a little bit along the edge of the cup.


    Then, she continued, “If she advances, it’s no problem. If she doesn’t have a chance this time, we’ll continue to look for her in the nextpetition. But if she’s eliminated and we miss this opportunity, it’ll be harder for us to find her again.”


    Zoe Silverstone knew the moment she heard that these words were taught to Christy Xenos by Wendy rke.


    Otherwise, Christy Xenos wouldn’t be able to say something so organized.


    “Wendy rke has already told me,” Zoe Silverstone said. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll take you.”


    “The nextpetition is on Saturday, and now the tickets are getting hard to buy,” Zoe Silverstone said.”]We can only find scalpers.”


    “Wow, howe a cookingpetition is so hard to get tickets for?” Joshua rke was surprised.


    Zoe Silverstone directly opened the Pin App on her mobile phone.


    “Because the majorpetition is hosted by the Pin Group, and Pin’s App is the exclusive official purchase channel forpetition tickets,” Zoe Silverstone exined.


    After opening the ticket purchase page, she showed it to Christy Xenos and Joshua rke.<div>


    “As you can see, there are no more tickets avable,” Zoe Silverstone said. “Even the seats in the inner circle are gone.”


    “Is it really that popr?” Joshua rke felt his understanding had been refreshed. “ording to reason, the cookingpetition should not have a wide audience. It should only be a small range of people who are interested in cooking and professional chefs who would pay attention to it.”


    “That’s true in previous years,” Zoe Silverstone exined, “but this year is different.”


    “So far, only two matches have been livestreamed, and both have been lively to watch,” Zoe Silverstone said, candidly mentioning herself. “In the first match, there was a dispute between me and Cindy rke. In the second match, there was a dispute between Iris Doone and Cindy rke.”


    “With only two matches, CEO Adrian Zhekova had to personally resolve the disputes. Adrian Zhekova, you guys should know about, right?”, Zoe Silverstone looked at them.


    Seeing Christy Xenos and Joshua rke nod their heads.


    Adrian Zhekova, who didn’t know about it?


    Even though they seldom had contact with these things, they still knew Adrian Zhekova.


    “Like the heirs of the other Big Eight families, Adrian Zhekova is rarely seen in public. But because of their appearances and status, they attract numerous fans, mostly female ones,” Zoe Silverstone said.


    “The fewer times they appear in public, the more eager fans are to follow them,” Zoe Silverstone said. “In the past, fans struggled to see them online or on TV. However, they have appeared in two consecutivepetitions. Consequently, fans have gone crazy, wondering if he will attend the nextpetition.”


    “Even if they don’t get to see him on stage, it’s good to see him from a distance at the venue or on-screen,” Zoe Silverstone said. “Besides, with the twopetitions having such exciting arguments – almost like a reality show, many fans are buying tickets to join the fun. Furthermore, many fans want to get as close to Adrian Zhekova as possible, even if they can only take a closer look, so they’ve bought up all the front-row seats.”


    Christy Xenos snorted, “I really don’t understand. He’s just a man; what’s the big deal? Even if they see him, so what? It’s not like he’ll marry them.”


    “You may not understand fans’ mentality,” Zoe Silverstone said.


    She had to admit that seeing Adrian Zhekova up close could make one lose focus involuntarily.


    “By the way, when I was watching the livestream at home that day, I saw that there were seats closest to the stage where Adrian Zhekova and his group sat,” Christy Xenos said. “How much does it cost to secure a seat there? There must be a price! How much is it, we can afford it!”


    Zoe Silverstone rolled her eyes and said, “That area is the VIP Section, which is not for sale to the public. It’s where thepetition organizers invite some guests to sit, separated from the regr audience area. Even the aisles are exclusive for VIPs.”


    “With enough money, they still won’t sell? Can’t the organizers make money even if they want to?” Christy Xenos, who had been a local tyrant in Nork City for several years, now spoke with an extravagant tone.


    Zoe Silverstone smiled and said, “Thepetition organizers don’t need the money. Does Pin Group need the money? Thispetition is directly organized by Pin Group without outsourcing to any other organization.”


    “When Pin Group first held thispetition, they didn’t make any profit, and even lost a lot of money. But they still held thepetition every year. It wasn’t untilst year that they started to turn a profit, although not much. Pin didn’t even care about the profit they made,”<div>


    To be honest, Pin was really doing this to promote the culinary world out of love for it.


    “They really don’t care about making this money.” Could Christy Xenos’ extra spending on tickets be something Pin cared about?


    A few tens of thousands?


    A hundred thousand or so?<div>


    Could this amount be something that Pin would consider?


    Moreover, Zoe Silverstone doubted that Christy Xenos would be willing to spend tens of thousands of dors on tickets.


    Don’t use Christy Xenos’ big talk as evidence.


    “What should we do then?” Christy Xenos frowned. “Can’t we buy tickets?”


    “It’s not that we can’t, but I just said, we need to find scalpers. Now that these tickets are sold out, not all of the buyers are real audience members. Because the tickets are in high demand, scalpers saw an opportunity to make a profit and got involved. Now there are quite a few tickets in the hands of scalpers.”


    “Oh, where are we supposed to find scalpers?” Joshua rke spread his hands, feeling somewhat helpless.


    They had never dealt with this kind of thing before.


    Now that they had encountered it, they were at a loss for direction, like headless flies.


    “Leave it to me. I know a few scalpers. I’ll contact them,pare prices, and see which one is cheaper,” Zoe Silverstone said. “However, since they are scalpers, the prices will definitely be higher than the official prices.”


    “We know that,” Joshua rke said.


    But it was useless for Joshua rke to know that, as it was not up to him.


    Zoe Silverstone looked at Christy Xenos again.


    Christy Xenos nodded, “Right, if it’s expensive, then it’s expensive. No problem, the important thing is to get the tickets.”<div>


    “Alright, I’ll contact you when I get the tickets.” Zoe Silverstone suppressed the joy in her heart.


    She had been struggling financiallytely.


    She has already reached the point where she doesn’t mind earning less, as long as she can make some money, even a little bit.


    This time, by helping Christy Xenos and Joshua rke buy tickets, she could make some difference in price.


    After all, these two people were unfamiliar with the market and didn’t know anything about Belfard.


    In the short term, they could only rely on her.
