"Yes, these are celestial maiden level, probably worth over a thousand each, especially these three large ones."
Ye Cheng carefully picked out the three largest ones.
A typical Akoya pearl is only 8mm at most, but these three are a full 12mm, twice the size, and are even of the Tennyo grade, which means they are growing exponentially.
The ordinary ones cost a little over 100, the Celestial Maiden ones cost over 1000, and these three are probably worth over 10,000.
Upon hearing Ye Cheng mention tens of thousands, Xiao Hu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Damn! I didn't even notice when I was driving it. If you had told me it cost tens of thousands, I wouldn't have dared to buy it."
"You should be glad you didn't scratch these few, or you would have lost a lot of money."
Xiao Hu was a little scared afterward.
"Brother, you keep the pearl, I won't take it."
"Look at your lack of ambition, it's just something worth tens of thousands of yuan."
That's what they said, but Ye Cheng still carefully wrapped each of the several celestial maiden-level pearls separately.
Luckily, I prepared some soft items beforehand, otherwise, it would have been hard to say what would have happened if I had bumped into things.
Ye Cheng put all the pearls in a small box and carried it with him.
Xiao Hu put the shellfish meat in a water tank, and then the two of them started their return journey. They did nothing all day but soaked in the water, and Ye Cheng felt that his skin was loose.
"Second brother, you're back?" As soon as they docked, Boss He came over.
Of all the people at the dock, he had the most sensitive nose.
"Boss He, I'm sorry to disappoint you today, we didn't catch anything." Ye Cheng put the pearl away. On the whole boat, only Xiao Hu caught three black sea bream and one sea bass, nothing else.
"Oh, that's all? I heard you guys fished there for ages, I thought you'd caught something big," Boss He said disappointedly.
"No way, people know we go fishing?"
"Yes, several people who came back said they saw you. Alright, are you going to sell these two fish or not? If you are, I'll take them." Boss He, adhering to the principle that even a small profit is still profit, decided to buy the fish.
"I'm not selling them anymore, they're a gift for you, Mr. He." Ye Cheng generously handed several fish to Mr. He, and then said, "I hope you'll continue to take care of me in the future, Mr. He."
"Damn, second brother, what a favor you've done." Boss He looked at the fish in his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Next time you pull up the net, give me a dollar off, that's better than this."
"Do you want it or not?"
"Why not take it if it's free?"
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes at him, then went ashore carrying the box of pearls and a tank full of shellfish meat.
"Wait, second brother, do you have some good stuff you're not planning to sell to us?" Just as he walked up, Boss He followed, his eyes fixed on Ye Cheng's water tank.
"You mean this?" Ye Cheng pointed to the water tank. "If you want it, I'll give it to you for 100 yuan a pound."
Hearing Ye Cheng say this, Boss He was a little unsure. "No, second brother, open it and let me see. If it's really good stuff, I'll pay 500, let alone 100. We've been doing business together for so long, you can't just give all your good stuff to others, can you?"
Damn, this guy thinks he's actually hiding something, huh?
yes.
I hid it.
But it wasn't hidden in the water tank; it was in the box I was holding.
"Xiao Hu, show Boss He what we've hidden in the water tank and report it to him."
Xiao Hu opened the water tank, and Boss He frowned immediately upon seeing it.
"Damn, what are you doing? So much shellfish meat, are you planning to eat it yourself? Or are you drying it?"
"Do you want some? 100 yuan a pound," Ye Cheng joked.
"Give me a break, this stuff isn't even worth ten yuan. All you guys have got besides Tianhai is this?"
"I can't help it, I've just been having bad luck lately."
"Come on, it's just bad luck. You always say that, but I've never seen you lose money."
Seeing that there was nothing valuable here, Boss He didn't bother to pursue it further.
The two rode Xiao Hu's tricycle home. They took the shellfish meat to Jiang Yunxiang's place so she could sort through it. Some of the meat was dried and eaten, while the rest of the scraps were thrown into Aunt Qian's pond to feed the crayfish.
Ye Cheng didn't sleep well that night, fearing something might happen to Pearl. When dawn finally broke, he got up early, played some games, and stayed up until about 8 o'clock.
Only then did he take the bag of pearls into the city. He would not be able to eat or sleep if he did not sell the pearls.
For jewelry, look for Mr. Cai!
The last collaboration with Melaleuca was quite pleasant, so this time Ye Cheng went directly to General Manager Cai.
"Mr. Cai, how much of these Akoya pearls can you buy?" Ye Cheng first took out the more ordinary ones, a total of more than 60.
"I got this batch from the wild," Ye Cheng added, even though wild ones wouldn't add much money to the price.
"Brother, there's not much difference between wild and farmed ones. Let me take a look." Mr. Cai's tone was indifferent, and he seemed a little disappointed.
I thought Ye Cheng would bring me some kind of Melo pearls, but it turned out to be just ordinary seawater pearls.
However, in business, maintaining relationships is sometimes very important, otherwise people won't come to you when they have good products.
Mr. Cai took a magnifying glass and examined it carefully, holding it up to the light and looking left and right.
Ye Cheng guessed that he was checking for the presence of a kernel and the luster of the product.
It took Mr. Cai almost an hour to examine all 60-plus pearls before he finally put down his magnifying glass and started discussing the price with Ye Cheng.
"Brother, this batch of yours really is wild! To get so much, you're truly amazing." General Manager Cai gave a thumbs up.
"Knowing that pearl divers have it tough, Mr. Cai, please be considerate and give us a better price."
"The prices of seawater pearls are very transparent. Those over 6mm are 150 each, and those under 6mm are 100 each. These few are not round enough, so I can only charge 100 each. Since they are wild, I will add 10 yuan to each one for you." Mr. Cai skillfully sorted the pearls by size and roundness.
Ye Cheng thought the price was acceptable, mainly because there was nowhere else to compare it to.
It adds up to several thousand, which is enough.
"Okay, let's do as Mr. Cai says."
After saying that, Ye Cheng asked President Cai to calculate the total, and he wasn't in a hurry to take out his own Heavenly Maiden-level weapon.
There are 65 pieces in total, which adds up to 49,150 yuan.
Just as Mr. Cai was about to turn around to get the money, Ye Cheng suddenly said,
"Mr. Cai, wait a moment, take another look at this batch."
After saying that, he took out his 12 Celestial Maiden-level gems.
As soon as the bead appeared, Mr. Cai's eyes lit up instantly, and he pulled out a pair of white gloves from behind and put them on.
High-end jewelry must be paired with high-end white gloves, otherwise it will look cheap.
Holding white gloves, Mr. Cai examined all 12 Celestial Maiden-level beads. He had spent almost an hour examining the previous 60-plus beads.
It took almost an hour to examine these 12 stones; I looked at them very carefully.
