Chapter 1100: Chapter 579: Public Enemy!_3

"3.1 million dollars!"

Stella Gray gave up, and even shot Sean Knight an angry glance.

Obviously, she felt that it was Sean Knight who had provoked the Jewish man.

Sean Knight ignored her completely and raised his card:

"3.5 million dollars."

As long as the price didn’t exceed double, it was still a profit.

Moreover, the planting season was about to begin, and just one season of crops would recover a significant portion of the costs.

Here, you could plant three seasons in two years, and some lands could even support two seasons in a year.

Recovering the investment was quick.

After all, in the current situation, everyone knew the importance of food.

The Jewish man clearly didn’t intend to give up and raised his card again:

"3.6 million dollars!"

"3.8 million dollars!" Sean Knight followed closely behind.

It was as if his money was no object!

At this, the Jewish man faltered.

His money wasn’t blown in by the wind, either.

If the bidding continued this way, even if he won in the end, his boss likely wouldn’t be happy about it.

However, giving up just like that didn’t sit well with him, so he made one final bid:

"4 million dollars!"

"4.01 million." Sean Knight saw through his hesitation and only raised by ten thousand.

The Jewish man was nearly furious!

If Sean Knight had raised the bid higher, he could have trapped him.

But now, with just a ten-thousand-dollar raise, should he follow or not?

He suddenly remembered what Sean Knight had said earlier, about bidding on all the lands.

Should he lay a trap?

The Jewish man’s eyes flickered, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

The land wasn’t large enough; better to stop for now.

In the end, Sean Knight secured the land for 4.01 million.

Thus, today, Sean Knight had added 2000 hectares of land.

In the sales that followed, several smaller plots of land were generally snapped up by Sean Knight for around 20,000 dollars each.

"Next up is Land No. 32, Wumodu Le, with a total area of 1,078 hectares, located 15 kilometers to the east of the city, easily accessible... The auction starts at a reserve price of 8 million dollars, with each bid increment no less than ten thousand dollars. Let the auction begin now!"

Jew Nine had been waiting for this opportunity!

He had already tried several times to test Sean Knight’s limits.

He drove the land prices from double the reserve price to two and a half times, and then to triple!

Sean Knight never gave up and continued to follow.

After this round of maneuvering, the Jewish man’s wariness of Sean Knight, who had supposedly prepared gold in advance, gradually faded.

In his eyes, this was just a rich and foolish young man from China, who didn’t know how he had stumbled into good fortune.

As long as he acted convincingly enough later on, he was sure to fool him!

Trap him a couple of times, and he wouldn’t believe that Sean Knight actually had that much money and gold.

As usual, everyone started the bidding.

Although no one knew exactly how much money Sean Knight had, if they didn’t participate now, they probably wouldn’t have a chance later.

It was obvious that each land plot was selling for higher than the last, which made them wonder: how much could they still afford with the funds they had?

However, because this plot was relatively large, there were no more than ten parties who could participate in the auction.

The price of the plot quickly soared to a high point of 15 million dollars.

Most bidders gave up.

Those left qualified to bid on this land were still Numbers Nine, Twelve, Sixteen, Seventeen, and Eighteen.

The man with a grim face gloomily raised his card:

"1,530,000 dollars!"

Andrew Petrov had already switched wine bottles twice, and the strong scent of alcohol made his voice sound all the more boisterous:

"1.6 million dollars!"

The Jewish man raised his card:

"1.8 million dollars!"

"Are you insane?" Andrew Petrov pointed at the Jewish man and scolded, "Raising the bid by so much at once, do you think you’re very rich or what? 1,850,000 dollars!"

Although his voice was loud, the amount he raised exposed his weakness.

The gesture was grand, but his confidence was lacking.

Stella Gray raised her card to interrupt the argument:

"1,880,000 dollars!"

She raised even less, as if her bid was merely a declaration of her presence.

Sure enough, the man with a grim face soon surpassed this price:

"20 million dollars!"

Jew Number Nine just gave Andrew a cold stare and then ignored him, raising his own card:

"21 million dollars!"

Andrew did not follow.

The man with a grim face raised his card:

"22 million dollars."

The two of them kept chasing until the bid reached 26 million, at which point the man with a grim face gave up.

The Jewish man turned to Sean Knight, his gaze full of provocation.

Such a clumsy attempt to goad him.

Sean saw right through the Jewish man’s intentions.

Of course, he didn’t mind playing along with the clown.

The real high-end hunters often appear in the guise of prey.

"30 million dollars!" Sean called out for the first time, stunning everyone!

This bid was a bit aggressive!

Some of the women in the auction house were already looking at Sean with fervent eyes.

Sean had come to the auction without a female companion; could he be the golden bachelor?

So, could they perhaps have a "chance encounter" or "meet-cute" with him later?

And some men also noticed that Sean brought only three men with him.

So, could he have some special preferences?

So, could they also try to get closer to him?

Perhaps that’s what he likes?

Jew Number Nine, looking at Sean’s expressionless face, suddenly fell into hesitation.

To follow, or not to follow?

This was a critical moment.

If he followed and Sean didn’t, the land would become his anyway.

If he didn’t follow, letting Sean get the land at this price was not something the Jewish man was willing to settle for.

He had been waiting for this opportunity, and with less than three times the reserve price, he felt it wasn’t enough!

Obviously, seeing that Sean’s expression hadn’t changed, the Jewish man believed that this current price was not enough to make Sean feel the pinch!

He had to make him pay a significant amount!

After hesitating for a full half minute, just as the auctioneer was about to bang the gavel, Jew Number Nine raised his card:

"33 million dollars!" He raised the bid by three million in one go!

Next, it was Sean’s turn to see if he would follow or not!

However, to his relief, Sean lifted his card:

"35 million dollars!"

He followed!

This time, Jew Number Nine once again fell into hesitation.

Looking at Sean, it seemed he was indeed determined to acquire the land.

So, the next question was whether to let him have his way, or to drive the price up even further?
