The Love Heart Island sea area was not the sea area Ye Feng wanted. He was just following along and shouting a few times. When the auction price reached over twenty million, Ye Feng stopped bidding.
Finally, the Love Heart Island sea area was auctioned off for thirty-two million, which was close to the estimated price.
"Now we will auction the second largest sea area, Crescent Island, with a starting bid of twenty million! The bidding increment cannot be less than five hundred thousand! The auction begins!" the auctioneer on stage shouted loudly at everyone.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was an immediate and fierce bidding war below, even more intense than for the Love Heart Island sea area.
"My target is the Crescent Island sea area. I bid twenty-one million!"
"I must obtain the Crescent Island sea area. I bid twenty-two million!"
"It seems everyone's target is the Crescent Island sea area! Let's see who has the strength to take it! I bid twenty-three million!"
"Twenty-four million!"
"Twenty-five million..."
Bidding voices rose and fell, ceaseless.
Ye Feng observed carefully. More than half of the people were participating in the bidding. It was clear that these people were all aiming for the Crescent Island sea area.
Although the Crescent Island sea area was not outstanding in any particular aspect, it was not lacking in any either, and it was close to the mainland. This was completely sufficient for those who wanted to engage in marine aquaculture.
In fact, Ye Feng was quite tempted by the Crescent Island sea area, even more so than the Rocky Island sea area.
However, the price of the Crescent Island sea area was incomparable to the Rocky Island sea area in terms of temptation.
After all, one had a starting bid of twenty million and an estimated transaction price of forty to fifty million, while the other had a starting bid of eight million and a transaction price of only ten to twenty million. With a price difference of nearly threefold, the choice was obvious.
Furthermore, the Rocky Island sea area was the largest, which was more beneficial for long-term development.
Most importantly, Ye Feng possessed underwater detection abilities. Problems like submerged rocks and reefs were equivalent to nothing for him.
This was why Ye Feng chose the Rocky Island sea area.
However, even so, he was still very tempted by the Crescent Island sea area, so he joined the bidding. What if he could get it at a low price?
"I bid twenty-five million five hundred thousand!" Ye Feng raised his paddle and said calmly.
He only increased the bid by five hundred thousand, wanting to see if Tang Zhiyang would follow.
As he expected, Tang Zhiyang immediately raised his paddle and said, "Twenty-six million!"
As he bid, he did not forget to look at Ye Feng and raise an eyebrow, his provocative intent very clear.
"Twenty-seven million!"
"Twenty-seven million five hundred thousand!"
"..."
Others continued to bid, surpassing their prices. Only when it reached thirty million did the bidding start to decrease.
"Thirty-one million!" Ye Feng continued to bid.
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Tang Zhiyang immediately raised his paddle, "Thirty-two million!"
After bidding, he even spoke to Ye Feng, "Kid, your purpose for coming here this time should be to bid for the Crescent Island sea area, right!"
Ye Feng heard this and smiled, "That's right, so what?"
"Heh heh, so what? I won't let you get it easily!" Tang Zhiyang smiled.
Ye Feng frowned upon hearing this and muttered to himself, "This guy didn't bid for the Love Heart Island sea area before, and now he doesn't intend to bid for the Crescent Island sea area either. Could it be that this guy's target is the Rocky Island sea area?"
Ye Feng was very puzzled. Wasn't it said that the Rocky Island sea area was often passed over due to too many submerged rocks and reefs, making it undesirable?
How could this guy's target be the Rocky Island sea area?
Ye Feng couldn't figure it out and finally gave up!
But then he suddenly thought of something and secretly said, "Since his target is also the Rocky Island sea area, I must find a way. Otherwise, I might not be able to compete with him! Hmm, that's right, I have a way!"
At this time, the bidding for Crescent Island had already reached thirty-five million.
Ye Feng chuckled in his heart, then immediately shouted loudly, "I bid forty million!"
When everyone heard Ye Feng's price, they all exclaimed in surprise.
"Who is this guy! He directly increased the bid by five million!"
"It seems he is determined to get the Crescent Island sea area!"
"The value of the Crescent Island sea area is about this price! If it goes higher, it will be a loss!"
Hearing Ye Feng's bid, many people were scared off and stopped bidding.
Tang Zhiyang saw Ye Feng directly increase the bid by five million and looked completely certain, saying, "This guy is starting to exert himself. It seems his target is indeed the Crescent Island sea area!"
After all, besides the Crescent Island sea area, there was only the Rocky Island sea area left.
However, everyone knew the situation of the Rocky Island sea area, and basically no one would participate in the bidding.
So Tang Zhiyang naturally assumed that Ye Feng's target was the Crescent Island sea area. He immediately raised his paddle and bid, "I bid forty-one million!"
At this time, two or three other people still wanted to compete and gritted their teeth, shouting, "I bid forty-one million five hundred thousand!"
"I bid forty-two million!"
"Damn it, forty-three million. If you exceed this price, I won't bid anymore!"
Someone below said loudly.
At this moment, Tang Zhiyang spoke. He glanced at Ye Feng and said calmly, "I bid forty-five million!"
"Alas! Forget it! If I bid any higher, it will be a loss! I give up!"
"I give up too. Forty-five million is already the limit price for this sea area!"
"That's right, it seems we can only miss out! What a pity!"
Seeing everyone giving up one after another, Ye Feng continued to bid, "Fifty million!"
When everyone heard Ye Feng bid fifty million, they were all stunned.
Some people couldn't help but gasp, as this was completely a losing deal.
However, Ye Feng didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at Tang Zhiyang and said, "Young Master Tang, are you not bidding anymore? Then I will take the Crescent Island sea area!"
"Stop, who said I'm not bidding anymore! I said I wouldn't let you get it easily!" Tang Zhiyang looked at Ye Feng and sneered.
Then, he really raised his paddle and shouted, "I bid fifty-five million!"
Seeing his action, Ye Feng immediately smiled and thought to himself, "Heh heh, the plan is successful!"
Then Ye Feng even stood up and applauded, "Impressive, impressive, Young Master Tang is indeed wealthy and powerful! I am no match for you, I give up!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Tang Zhiyang was dumbfounded and hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, wait a minute, why aren't you bidding anymore?"
Ye Feng heard this and smiled, "I'm not as wealthy and powerful as Young Master Tang. Also, let me tell you some news. Actually, my target is not the Crescent Island sea area, but the Rocky Island sea area!"
"What? Your target is not the Crescent Island sea area? But the Rocky Island sea area?" Tang Zhiyang could hardly believe what he heard.
Ye Feng nodded seriously and said, "That's right. The reason I bid was just to dig a pit to weaken your financial strength, because we will be competing for the Rocky Island sea area later!"
"You... you... Pfft!"
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang knew he had been tricked by Ye Feng and was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood...
