Two staff members walked down and announced loudly, "Sir, congratulations on acquiring the Crescent Island sea area. Please make your payment and sign!"
"Ah? I, I..." Tang Zhiyang was dumbfounded, unsure how to explain.
He hadn't intended to buy Crescent Island; he only wanted to drive up the price so that Ye Feng wouldn't easily acquire it.
Who knew Ye Feng had no intention of buying Crescent Island at all, and was merely setting a trap for him.
This was truly a case of digging one's own grave! In the end, he could only grit his teeth and pay, then sign.
After all, if he refused to pay and sign, he would be violating the auction rules, leading to even more severe consequences.
"Damn Ye Feng, don't let me catch you, or I'll definitely kill you!" Tang Zhiyang was furious at this moment, hating Ye Feng to the bone!
After Tang Zhiyang paid and signed, the auctioneer spoke, "Alright, we will now auction the largest sea area, the Rocky Island sea area!"
"I believe everyone is already very familiar with the situation of the Rocky Island sea area, as it has been passed over several times! I won't say much more. If it's passed over again this time, it will never be put up for auction again!"
"We will now officially bid for the Rocky Island sea area. The starting price is eight million. The bid increment cannot be less than five hundred thousand! Bidding begins!"
After the auctioneer's impassioned words, there were no enthusiastic bidding sounds as before.
Instead, it was eerily quiet. Everyone thought this might be passed over again, and some were even preparing to leave.
However, at this moment, a voice rang out.
"I bid ten million!"
The bidder was Tang Zhiyang, his target being this Rocky Island sea area.
"What? Someone actually bid?"
"Holy cow, no way! Even if someone bids, they directly increase it by two million?"
"It's this guy! Didn't he just acquire the Crescent Island sea area? Why is he bidding again?"
The auctioneer was overjoyed and quickly announced, "This gentleman bids ten million. Are there any other bids?"
"Ten million once, ten million twice! Ten million th..." As if afraid he would go back on his word, the auctioneer quickly said.
Just as the auctioneer was about to announce that Rocky Island had been sold, Ye Feng spoke, "I bid, fifteen million!"
Whoosh!
This statement caused gasps of astonishment from below.
"Holy cow, what's going on? Someone is actually competing for this Rocky Island?"
"Damn, are their brains broken? Someone is competing for a place like the Rocky Island sea area?"
"It was passed over at eight million before, and now someone is bidding fifteen million?"
The people present were very confused by this, even thinking the bidders had gone mad.
But this was not what shocked them the most, because the bidding was still ongoing.
"I bid sixteen million!" Tang Zhiyang stared at Ye Feng and shouted grimly.
Ye Feng smiled faintly, raising an eyebrow, "Tang Zhiyang, did you not eat breakfast? Why are you only increasing by a million at a time? This doesn't fit your style as Young Master Tang! I bid twenty million!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, completely unable to understand what Ye Feng and Tang Zhiyang were doing.
"Damn it, twenty-one million!" Tang Zhiyang gritted his teeth and shouted.
Tang Zhiyang didn't have much money left, as Crescent Island had cost him more than half of his funds. He dared not act recklessly now.
"Looking at your timid appearance, where is your previous swagger? Slow bidding wastes time. Let me help you! Thirty million!" Ye Feng directly bid.
Hearing Ye Feng's bid increase by nearly ten million, Tang Zhiyang was completely dumbfounded.
Not only him, but all the bosses present, and even the auctioneer were stunned.
"Ye Feng, you're going too far!" Tang Zhiyang roared.
Ye Feng laughed, "How am I going too far! Am I not just bidding normally? Hey, are you bidding or not! If you don't bid, this Rocky Island will be mine!"
"Damn it, you win this round, I bid thirty-one million!" Tang Zhiyang gritted his teeth.
Seeing this, Ye Feng continued to bid calmly, "Forty million!"
Finally, Tang Zhiyang took a deep breath and mustered all his strength to say, "Forty-five million!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but be surprised by this guy's financial strength.
Because Tang Zhiyang had just spent fifty-five million to acquire the Crescent Island sea area, and now he could bid forty-five million, totaling one hundred million. This financial strength...
"Fi..."
Just as Ye Feng was about to bid fifty million, Tang Zhiyang suddenly interrupted him, "Ye Feng, wait a moment!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Ye Feng asked in confusion.
Tang Zhiyang then said, "Ye Feng, I apologize for my previous actions. Will you let me have this Rocky Island sea area?"
Ye Feng was greatly surprised to hear this. This guy was actually apologizing to him?
What was inside this Rocky Island that was worth this guy making such a move? This made Ye Feng very curious.
In fact, Ye Feng didn't know that the Tang family had made a major discovery in the Rocky Island sea area. To acquire the Rocky Island sea area, they had directly given Tang Zhiyang one hundred million to bid for it.
The Tang family's order to Tang Zhiyang was to acquire Rocky Island at all costs. If Ye Feng hadn't been there, Rocky Island would have been acquired for twenty to thirty million.
However, to be safe, the Tang family had directly given Tang Zhiyang one hundred million.
Yet, even so, an accident still occurred. This idiot had spent fifty-five million to annoy Ye Feng.
He now only had over forty-five million left, which was why he was showing weakness to Ye Feng.
"If that's still not enough, I'll give you Crescent Island for free, how about that?" Tang Zhiyang said loudly.
However, the more Ye Feng heard this, the more he felt that Rocky Island was not simple.
The fact that the Tang family was willing to spend one hundred million to purchase the Rocky Island sea area meant that its value far exceeded one hundred million.
In such a situation, how could Ye Feng give up?
Therefore, he directly said, "Oh, I'm really sorry! I am determined to get the Rocky Island sea area! Fifty million!"
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang truly panicked.
If he failed to acquire Rocky Island, he would face severe punishment from his family upon his return.
"Ye Feng, are you sure you won't reconsider?"
Tang Zhiyang had no possibility of continuing to bid and could only hope that Ye Feng would let him have Rocky Island.
But Ye Feng sneered, "I have nothing to reconsider. Since you're not bidding anymore, this Rocky Island sea area is mine!"
After speaking, Ye Feng noticed that the auctioneer and everyone else were frozen in place, looking incredulous and speechless, "Auctioneer, what are you waiting for?"
"Oh, oh, good, good! This gentleman bids fifty million. Are there any higher bids?" the auctioneer asked, looking around.
However, Tang Zhiyang, who wanted to bid, was completely out of funds. As for the others, they all thought the bidders were fools and wouldn't bid.
Seeing this situation, the auctioneer quickly announced, "Good! Fifty million once, fifty million twice, fifty million th..."
At this moment, Tang Zhiyang suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait! Auctioneer, I suspect he doesn't have the ability to bid and is deliberately inflating the price..."
