Chapter 123

Four days passed quickly, and Zabel Group, due to early preparations, officially opened for business on the fourth day.

The location chosen for Fortuna Hall was right at the entrance of Cottin Community, which was surrounded by a total of four old residential areas with a large population. On the opening day, Kendrick personally attended the event, along with Thomas and several other company executives, who came to convey their congratulations and participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Prior to the grand opening of Fortuna Hall, promotional efforts had already been undertaken.

Their slogans read: [Specialist consultation model can solve any health concerns, eliminating the need to visit the hospital for registration.]

They also wrote:[With the backing from Zabel Group, you can trust in our services!]

Another slogan read:[Affordable medication, not for profit! The purchase price is posted at the entrance and the medicines are only marked up by 10 percent. At Zabel Group's

medical center, we only make a 10 percent profit!]

Various promotional activities had been rolled out before the opening of Fortuna Hall.

On the day Fortuna Hall opened, there was already a crowd gathering in front of the doors.

Kendrick and Thomas were cutting the ribbon together, beaming with smiles.

"Mr. Zabel,I heard that Robert that punk hasbeen coming around here frequently," Thomas smiled and squeezed out his voice.

Kendrick spoke with contempt, "With his flashy appearance, driving around in his nearly 1.5 million dollars Lamborghini, it's hard to miss. I know exactly what he's up to. He just wants to open a medical center right in front of mine, as if that would make any difference. I provide medical treatment s at the lowest prices, with only a minimal profit margin on medicines. Why does he think he can compete with me? We're even running a promotion with free gifts for purchasing medicine. If he opens his medical center across from mine, it's simply a humiliating move on his part!"

Kendrick was full of confidence and did not even bother to take Robert seriously.

Thomas nodded upon hearing that. Kendrick was right. Zabel Group's medical center was barely making any profits, and Robert had no chance of winning against Kendrick.

"You'll see, as time goes on, Fortuna Hall'sreputation will get better and better, and Zabel Group's brand will gradually gain recognition!"Kendrick said with a smile on his face, waving to the reporters he had invited.

Meanwhile, across from Fortuna Hall, Cheshire Hall's sign was already hung up.

A Lamborghini worth 1.35 million dollars was parked right outside the entrance of Cheshire Hall, which had already completed its interior decoration. Despite the rapid renovation, the air quality fully met the standards. Robert and Sophia sat inside Cheshire Hall, looking at the bustling scene across the street.

"Mr. Zabinski, Zabel Group seems to focussolely on reputation and not making a penny. They won't be able to recoup the costs of rent, renovation, and labor with this approach."Sophia's face was filled with worry.

"No problem," Robert said calmly, unaffectedby the fiery scene in front of him."Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

Sophia nodded. "I have specifically invited

some renowned doctors to come over. They will arrive tonight, and their accommodations have already been arranged. We will be able to start the business tomorrow."

"No need to hurry." Robert shook his head."Let's give it a few more days."

"Wait a few more days?" Sophia was takenaback, expressing her confusion."Mr. Zabinski, the news about this has spread too quickly. It's only been a little over two hours since they opened, and I've already seen three posts about it on my Instagram feed. If we wait a few more days, the word of mouth will have spread completely, and people will probably be lining up to come."

"This is what we aim for, for their reputation tospread." Robert's eyes gleamed with a sinister expression. "When they think they've won, that's when we'll strike them down!"

Under Robert's orders, the opening of Cheshire Hall was temporarily put on hold.

That day, Kendrick's smile was so wide that it almost reached his ears.

At night, in the office behind Fortuna Hall, Matthew held a coffee cup, and his face filled with arrogance as he spoke to Marilyn, "Mari, did you see that? That Robert is no match for

Kendrick!I really don't know if your mind is in the right state. Kendrick is still fond of you now. If I were you,I would clean up my act and give myself to him. Otherwise, by the time he loses interest in you, even if you offer yourself to him, he won't even bother to look at you anymore."
