Chapter 1357: Chapter 1219: The Rich Old Man’s Auction!
It seemed that the second-in-command’s hesitation was seen through, and one of the subordinates suggested:
“Why not ask the all-capable Boss for advice?”
How could such a trivial matter bother the Boss?
Fred was rather reluctant.
“Let’s do an assessment first, gather all the cases, observe the scope of impact, and then consider the players’ opinions.”
“Don’t rush, we still have time.”
Even if we truly need to consult the Boss, we must be fully prepared before doing so.

Fred started working with his employees.
Meanwhile, Lincoln was unaware of this matter.
After sending Randall and Little Chun back to their hometown, it suddenly occurred to him—
The wealthy patrons who had made appearances at the World Mobile Ball Championships could perhaps finally be repaid for their kindness.

Given that the Hibernation Technology would be made public in several days, why not share the news with them now?
And give those rich old men a little technological shock while he was at it.
Right, and those overseas tycoons who bought mechs, they could be notified too, as a token of appreciation for major customers.
In the domestic market, the Hibernation Warehouse had to start as a “Medical Device,” and each step must be taken with solid certainty.
But overseas, there was no need to be so cautious.
To some extent, Lincoln could even be said to have the “exclusive overseas rights” to the Hibernation Warehouse.
Naturally, why not conduct a small sociological experiment to test what kind of impact Hibernation Technology would have on society under market rules?
After all, Hibernation Technology was in some ways meant to serve as a cover for the [Digital Life] project; it was better if the project gained as much attention as possible.
And no matter how popular it became in Daxia, it could not compare to releasing some quotas overseas and stirring them into action.
Being directly involved would certainly make them more immersed than simply watching from the sidelines.
Thus, the next experiments with [Digital Life] could be granted an extra layer of concealment.
Without hesitation, Lincoln immediately conveyed his thoughts to his personal assistant—Princess Victoria.
For the Princess, this was naturally not an issue; she quickly drafted an email.
However, after Lincoln read it, he asked her to make some changes: “It’s well written, but it lacks a key point.”
The Princess was somewhat puzzled: “What key point?”
As Lincoln’s confidante and personal secretary, she was privy to nearly everything he did—even yesterday’s communication with Henry was conducted with her listening in.
Therefore, she was quite familiar with Hibernation Technology and could not figure out what she had missed.
Lincoln smiled and said, “Your thinking has been constrained by our own proposals.”
“These tycoons are all terrified of death, and their health is exemplary.
Talking about salvaging lives from terminal diseases holds limited allure for them.”
“What they truly care about is how to stay young and how to live longer.”
“So what you should emphasize is not terminal diseases, but ‘freezing the state of the body, halting the aging process, extending physiological lifespan.’”
“Although we know that hibernation is not an absolute halt and offers minimal help to those naturally reaching life’s end, most of them are far from that point, and the life-extending effects are undeniable.”
“And extending life is what really drives them wild.”
“Are you planning to… release some quotas?” Camille immediately grasped what Lincoln intended to do.
Lincoln nodded, “With so many rich old men having more money than they can spend, I feel it’s my responsibility to help them reallocate it a bit.”
“…”
“`
Camille Victoria had no response and silently edited the email.
Less than 10 minutes later, the email editing was complete, and Lincoln nodded in approval.
Mavis grabbed it and sent it off with a toss.
With that toss, a total of 116 emails were sent out.
It wasn’t that Lincoln only had that many wealthy people’s email addresses, but only these individuals had exerted effort in the World Mobile Ball Championships or placed mech orders with Titan Manufacturing.
This didn’t actually affect anything.
Sending so many emails at the same time, some of which were to company email addresses, meant this matter couldn’t possibly be kept secret.
And indeed, that was the case—
More than half of the recipients read the email within one hour of Mavis sending it and swiftly replied.
After that, more than forty others replied within the next two hours.
Considering that these people are located around the globe, many of them being in completely opposite time zones, this level of efficiency was truly astonishing.
But what was even more amazing was that the next morning, Mavis told Lincoln, “Master, we’ve received a lot of emails.”
So Lincoln and Camille opened their mailbox to check.
Lying in the inbox were not only the remaining dozen or so replies from those 116 emails but also more than 200 emails from people who had communicated with Lincoln before, but were not notified by him, as well as over 500 emails from people Lincoln didn’t know at all and had never corresponded with.
Without exception, these people were either rich or noble—or both.
The purpose of their emails was completely unanimous: to inquire if they could learn more about Hibernation Technology, such as its specific effects, safety, risks, etc., and, more importantly—how they could qualify to use this new technology.
Lincoln didn’t rush to reply because emails were still pouring in.
He was not surprised by this.
While the proportion of wealthy individuals may be very slim within the total population, their absolute number is far greater than what many people sense.
At the very least, there are more than just a thousand such people out there.
Apparently, the topic of “extending life” is indeed a hot one among the wealthy circles, and by the afternoon, Hibernation Technology had thoroughly spread throughout the circles of the rich and noble elites and was no longer a secret among a few.
If not for the media conglomerates being in the hands of these people, Hibernation Technology would probably already have hit the headlines of Western media.
But with eligible, wel-connected big media outlets ordered not to speak out of turn and the small ones who dared to speak not having any channels to learn of the matter, this resulted in the news circulating only among the Western elites and not being exposed to the public.
However, this deliberate informational discrepancy was destined to be broken.
Because Lincoln’s style of doing things was always to go big!
Having the opportunity to gather so many wealthy individuals together, it would be such a waste not to meet and add a bit of spark to the situation.
Lincoln had it all planned out.
Step one: Have a virtual meeting first, where she would personally appear and explain the specifics of Hibernation Technology to these rich old men and women, alleviating their doubts.
Step two: In the next two days, once Daxia had confirmed the trial hospitals and more successful cases had emerged, further alleviating their concerns, they would throw in some sweeteners about “regaining youth in the virtual world” to maximally stir their desires.
After that, it would be time for the grand finale—
A global auction!
Want to live longer?
Want to relive your youth?
Then come and join the bidding!
With my name as the guarantee, I promise you a longer life and youth!
And the price, just some insignificant amount of money.
