Chapter 1066
At the scene of the bidding for the construction project of the sea bridge across the southeast, the
major constructionpanies from both inside and outside the country were gathered. The value of
the project was going to be up to 100 billion dors, which was the ultimate goal of thepetition
among the fewrge consortia.
Wayne Family was the leader of the bidders, and also the one with the most hopes of seizing this
project.
Edwards valued this auction very highly, so he brought his team over here today. Because there
had been a lot of people targeting the Wayne Family recently, this time''s auction might have had an
unexpected result, Edwards sat solemnly in the front row, beside him sat a few foreign power
enterprises, although once he entered the stage, everyone had sufficient etiquette, but the
sharpness in his eyes was like des and swords, neither could match the others.
This was a national level tender project. The atmosphere was very tense, and the guests had all sat
down in silence. Edwards and the person in charge beside him discussed in a low voice, only then
did he realize that within the bidding this time around, there were a few sworn enemies, and the
viciousness in their eyes made Edwards slightly frown.
On the surface, the bidding was a businesspetition, but it was secretly rted to the
presidential election half a yearter. Everyone had their own reasons, Edwards had long snares
laid down two years ago, so his strength was closely tied to his position in the. Whether he could
take the next step forward would depend on who he was betting on in the next round.
At 10 am, the bidding finally began!
Other than the South-Eastern Ocean Bridge Project, a few other major projects were bidding as
well. A piece ofnd close to the sea was also being sold, and was one of the projects that Edwards
had set his eyes on.
When the vice president of thepany next to him raised his sign, there was always someone
following him. The price was always higher than Wayne Group''s. Just as he was about to reach
Edwards''s budget, the Vice Chairman looked over at him, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
Edwards looked his phone, and very quickly, all the information regarding thepany was
transferred to his phone. His gaze quickly swept past them, and his lips formed a cold smile.
It looked like John was undoubtedly manipting him from the back.
To be able to set up apany in such a short period of time, to be able to buy thend for ten
billion, his background must not be simple.
"Follow!" Edwards''s thin lips slightly parted.
The Vice President was confused, and he couldn''t help but remind Boss: "Boss, if this bidding
exceeds our expectations, then the value of thend we marked will be lost!"
"Don''t worry about it. Thatnd is connected to the southeast sea bridge. We have to get it!"
Edwards ordered coldly.
The vice president could only continue to raise the price. The executives of thepanies looked at
the twopetitors with fear in their eyes. Each bid was around 100 million. It was not something
an ordinary person could afford.
Everyone''s heart rate sped up, except for Edwards!
Sure enough, the other party''s expression turned red and puffed up into a purplish green color. The
nervous hands that held up the sign were shaking. If they added another 200 million, they would no
longer have the confidence to follow anymore.
"Add it in!" Edwards coldlymanded the Vice President beside him.
The Vice President raised his hand twice in a row. This time, he didn''t hear the other side raise the
price again.
Edwards clenched his teeth tightly, and decided to let him pay more than three billion. Very good,
John had sessfully infuriated him this time. When everyone walked out of the room, everyone''s
legs were soft and their hands were trembling. Just a moment ago, it seemed like the amount of
money had really changed into numbers, but behind the numbers, was actually a sky-high price.
The Vice President wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, and looked at
Edwards''s ugly and gloomy expression, his voice trembling: "Boss, were we yed around by
someone?"
Edwards snorted, "Someone is deliberately raising the price to y tricks with us, I will find them."
"Boss, if someone really dares to y tricks with us, why don''t we just give up thend? They might
not be able to afford it." The Vice President still remembered the thrilling scene from a moment ago.
He felt that every increase in the price was akin to slicing open a vein for blood, and his entire body
was filled with a chill.
"No, we have to get thatnd. It can only mean that the opponent knows me very well!" Edwards
clenched his fists tightly. Other than John, the only person who knew him would be his grandfather.
All those years ago, he had fought with John many times, and fought in secret in front of his
grandfather, which was extremely dangerous. John must have thoroughly understood his
personality, which was why he made such a move this time around.
"Boss, can''t we use the same method to counterattack him? As long as they are unable to take over
thisnd, there will be another auction sooner orter. At that time, they will be the ones to make
tricks with themselves. " The Vice President still felt that this bid was too big. Three billion dors
had been added in for free. This was no longer a pain to him anymore.
"No, I never have the attitude to gamble when I do things. You''ve followed me for so many years,
but there''s still no opponent who understands me better!" Edwardsughed coldly, opened up the
buttons on his suit, bent his waist, and got into the car.
Right, no matter what Edwards did, he would only do it for real. Not taking risks, not gambling, was
his motto in life, and it was also the people with power that were able to bring Ji Group today''s
brilliant achievements.
The Vice President quickly bent down and closed the car door for Edwards. Then, they drove away.

When they left, on top of the parked vehicles not far away, John had a pleased smile on his face,
and sitting beside him were the two sworn enemies of the Wayne Family. The incident this time was
caused by them joining forces, so John persuaded his three enemies from before into a team to
deal with the Wayne Family.
"Three billion, wow, so much money, how many people can I buy for the rest of their lives?
Edwards, you must be feeling sorry for me. " John proudly spread his hands, he was extremely
happy, as if he had won a battle.
"Mr. John, that''s not right. This is not the result that we wanted. You clearly said that we could take
down thisnd." However, the two middle — aged men beside him had extremely dissatisfied
expressions.
" you guys have all seen the entire auction, it''s not that we don''t work hard, or that we don''t have too
much money, it''s just that Edwards is too conceited, too over —confident." John immediately
revealed an innocent expression.
