166: Chapter 166 The Feng Family's Purpose

"Increase the bid!" Feng Feng said without hesitation.

"12.5 billion!"

"13 billion!" At Zhao Feiyu's signal, Yuan Lingzhi continued to raise the bid, clinging tightly to Fengs Group.

Ring!

At that moment, Zhao Feiyu's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing an unfamiliar number from Tianhai City, Zhao Feiyu hesitated for a moment before answering directly.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhao?" A familiar yet strange voice came from the phone.

"I am Liu Shaorong from the Liu Family!"

Upon hearing this name, Zhao Feiyu's expression immediately darkened.

"What do you want?"

"Sorry to bother you. I know you are currently at the investment promotion conference. Although I am the second-in-command of Tianhai City, I did not attend today's event. However, I have received some information, and I hope this information can serve as an apology and compensation to you."

"Fengs Group is interested in several of the projects at this investment promotion conference!"

"For example, they are determined to win the Nanshan Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation Project!"

"This Feng Family is not as upright as they appear on the surface. In fact, they have many shady businesses behind the scenes, and drugs are one of the businesses they operate in secret."

"We received news that the reason they want to bid for this Nanshan Cultivation Project is that they want to plant raw materials in Nanshan!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu chuckled, "Is this what you call an apology to me? You want me to win the bid so that the Feng Family doesn't succeed, right? Shouldn't this be me helping the Official Authorities?"

"No, no, no!" Liu Shaorong explained repeatedly.

"This matter is only known to the top leadership of Tianhai City. I received news that whoever can win the Nanshan Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation Project despite competition from Fengs Group will receive strong support from the Official Authorities. All taxes will be waived, and if that enterprise has other projects in Tianhai City, they will be given the green light, and taxes will be halved!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu's brow finally relaxed slightly.

This preferential policy was actually quite good.

With the support of the Official Authorities, no matter how many projects he bid on, the subsequent processing would receive unconditional support from the Official Authorities.

This could greatly save a lot of financial and human resources.

"Since that's the case, I really must win this Nanshan Cultivation Project!"

Liu Shaorong said apologetically, "Mr. Zhao, this can also be considered as support for the Official Authorities. Rest assured, in the future, the Liu Family will support your enterprise in Tianhai City one hundred percent!"

"Alright, I got it!" Zhao Feiyu hung up the phone directly, feeling annoyed.

Zhao Feiyu still had no good feelings toward the Liu Family.

At this moment, the bidding price had already reached around 15 billion.

"Increase the bid directly to 20 billion!" Zhao Feiyu said to Yuan Lingzhi, showing off his immense wealth.

"Wouldn't that be a bit of a loss?" Yuan Lingzhi asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry! It won't be a loss!" Zhao Feiyu smiled mysteriously.

...

Bang!

At this moment, Feng Feng upstairs was completely unsettled.

"What's going on? 10 billion was already the limit. Why would they bid up to 20 billion?" Feng Feng flew into a rage, questioning the secretary beside him.

At this moment, the secretary beside Feng Feng was already shivering, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Could it be that he knows our plan?" Feng Feng thought suspiciously.

"That's impossible! Only the high-level members of the Feng Family know about this plan. It's impossible for anyone else to know!"

Thinking of this, Feng Feng immediately took out his phone and called his family.

"Hello, Dad, there's been an accident. Someone wants to compete with us for the Nanshan Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation Project!"

"Who is it?" A low, dignified voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's the Yuan family from Yunduan City. I suspect they are authorized by the Tianhai City Official Authorities and supported by the Liu Family behind the scenes!"

"Continue bidding. I'll give you a price of 30 billion. I believe that at this price, even if they have the support of the Official Authorities, I don't think they will follow!"

"Okay! I understand!" After hanging up, Feng Feng revealed a confident smile.

"Fighting with me? Mere guys from Yunduan City, just frogs in a well!"

...

At this moment, the entire conference venue was in complete chaos.

"My God, it actually reached 20 billion. This is simply incredible!"

"This has completely exceeded the upper limit of this price. 20 billion—even if you invest that in, you would need at least 30 billion after starting it up!"

"30 billion! It's impossible to recoup the investment in less than five years!"

"Five years? Are you kidding? I think it will take at least eight years, eight years! With this money, it would be better to do something else!"

...

Everyone at the scene was not optimistic about Zhao Feiyu.

But regarding the surrounding discussions, Zhao Feiyu didn't care at all.

What if it's eight years? What if it's ten years? Even if it's a hundred years, so what?

Does he need to rely on this to make money?

As long as he invests in Yuan Lingzhi, 20 billion will be returned one hundred times over.

Because of this matter with Liu Kai and after the incident at the Martial Force Adjudication Office, Zhao Feiyu received a notification that evening after returning that Yuan Lingzhi's favorability had reached the maximum value.

"21 billion!" Fengs Group continued to act.

Zhao Feiyu gave Yuan Lingzhi a reassuring look.

Immediately after, Yuan Lingzhi continued to bid.

In a short while, the price reached 29 billion.

And this price was still called by Zhao Feiyu.

His limit was only 30 billion.

In other words, he only had one chance left.

Looking at Zhao Feiyu below, who was still confident of victory, Feng Feng's gaze was as gloomy as a sword, extremely sharp.

If looks could kill, the people below would have died countless times already.

"30 billion!" Feng Feng shouted, almost roaring.

But the next second, what made Feng Feng completely despair was that Zhao Feiyu actually continued to bid.

"30.1 billion!"

"What should we do, Young Master?" The butler behind him said anxiously.

"What should we do? You tell me, what should we do?" Feng Feng turned around angrily and slapped the other person in the face.

"30 billion! Even if we planted that entire mountain with marijuana, we wouldn't be able to recoup the investment in three years, let alone whether we can plant it all?"

"Even with hidden planting, it would take five years to recoup 30 billion!"

"Give up!" Feng Feng waved his hand weakly.

Then he sat down, his whole body like a deflated balloon.

"This is the first time the family has assigned me a task. I didn't expect such a thing to happen right at the beginning. How can I explain this to the family when I go back?"

Thinking of how confident he was when he left, Feng Feng closed his eyes in despair.

This project auction could directly knock him from being the family's darling to falling from grace.

It would cause him to directly lose his advantage in the future family succession.

"Damn it! These people, I will never let you go!"

"And you, Song Manli, aren't you very aloof and arrogant? I will tie you up in front of him and let you see with your own eyes how you are insulted!"
