"Alright, let's get down to business"

Seeing Ye Lingtian accept the bank card, Liang Feiyang picked up the Chinese on the coffee table and handed one to Ye Lingtian and Qi Junpeng, obviously, he was also full of interest in the cooperation that Ye Lingtian just mentioned.

"Uncle Liang, Aunt Mei, you take a look at this first. ”

Ye Lingtian motioned for Qi Junpeng to open the lockbox, took out two pearls the size of a ping-pong ball from it and handed them to Liang Feiyang and Mei Yarong.

Liang Feiyang and Mei Yarong carefully looked at the pearl in their hands, their faces became more and more shocked, and they glared at each other in the middle of the ring, and exclaimed in disbelief: "This is ...... Natural pearls?"

They have been making jewelry all their lives, and naturally have a unique way of distinguishing natural and cultured pearls, as well as man-made pearls, with the naked eye alone.

Pearl is an ancient organic gemstone produced in pearl oysters and mother-of-pearl molluscs, due to endocrine production of calcium carbonate-containing mineral (aragonite) beads, which are a large collection of tiny aragonite crystals. Pearls with magnificent colors and elegance symbolize health, purity, wealth and happiness, and have been loved since ancient times.

There are natural pearls and cultured pearls, and cultured pearls are divided into seawater pearls and freshwater pearls.

Natural pearls are produced in small quantities and are expensive, while cultured pearls are much cheaper because they can be produced in large quantities. The main difference between the two is that the core of natural pearls is often just some sand grains or parasites, or even no core, while the core of cultured pearls is artificially made of larger beads, so the outer wrapping layer is thinner.

On the body surface, natural pearls have poor roundness due to their random growth environment and few foreign bodies in the nucleus, while cultured pearls have rounded cores, so they have better roundness after pearl formation.

Natural pearls have a delicate texture after pearl formation, thick bead layer, smooth epidermis, few "convex bubbles", and are more transparent, while cultured pearls have a thin pearl layer, rough texture, luster with "waxy" shape, and there are often some concave and convex "vesicles" on the surface, and the transparency is also poor.

If the pearl has been perforated, look closely inside the hole with a magnifying glass, and if you are cultured pearls, you can usually see a brown boundary inside the pearl, which is the dividing line between the inner core that was put in and the nacre that grew later.

In addition, imitation pearls often appear on the market, which is commonly known as artificial pearls, which are generally made of glass beads coated with pearl powder, fish scale powder or silver powder, and their luster is obviously different from that of real pearls, and the weight is not the same, which can be identified by those with a little experience.

Liang Feiyang and Mei Yarong were so shocked, not because they saw natural pearls, after all, although natural pearls are rare, they can still be seen often on the market, especially in their jewelry industry.

What really struck them was the size, luster and roundness of the natural pearl.

You know, the diameter of natural pearls in the Chinese market is generally less than 10 mm, more than 10 mm is already very rare, even the Australian South Sea pearl, the diameter is generally not more than 15 mm, the largest Australian South Sea pearl in history, the diameter is only 21 mm.

And now the two natural pearls in their hands are probably not less than 40 mm in diameter, not only that, such a large natural pearl actually has a perfect round shape, and the surface is crystal moist, iridescent and clear, can illuminate the object, it is clear that it is a first-class pearl to show the strong luster.

What's even more commendable is that these two natural pearls can be said to be flawless

On a macro level, pearls can be flawless, while on a micro level, pearls are flawless. The jewelry industry usually calls the natural pearls flawless when the surface is smooth and delicate and difficult to see the flaws when observed by the naked eye, and now these two natural pearls are not only crystal moist and bright, but also can not see the flaws with the naked eye, which is enough to be called flawless...,

Their hands seemed to tremble a little at this moment, the King of Pearls, this is definitely the largest diameter perfect round first-class pearl in the world so far, it is not an exaggeration to call it the King of Pearls

For the two pearl kings in their hands, Liang Feiyang and Mei Yarong can't estimate the price, if they really want to estimate the price, I'm afraid they can only say that they are priceless treasures and are worth a lot of money.

Ye Lingtian didn't expect the reaction of the two to be so strong, and he spit out a mouthful of smoke before he smiled faintly: "Yes, this is a deep-sea natural pearl, not only those two are, but they are all in this box."

"What?" Seeing the lockbox full of natural pearls like ping-pong balls, Liang Feiyang and Mei Yarong were shocked again, only to feel their hearts beat faster and their blood pressure rise, and it took a while before they beat their chests, and after taking a few deep breaths, they asked, "Xiao Ye, just say it directly, how do you need us to cooperate?"

For so many superb natural pearls, Liang Feiyang and Mei Yarong were certainly not stupid enough to ask about their origins, what they wanted to know most now was what Ye Lingtian wanted them to do when he took out so many natural pearls.

Ye Lingtian extinguished the cigarette butt and pondered for a moment before he considered: "Uncle Liang, Aunt Mei, that's the case, Pengzi wants to enter the jewelry industry in Xi'an, but he doesn't have enough funds, and second, he doesn't have a familiar and stable purchase channel, so he thinks if he can cooperate with your Liang's jewelry, you are responsible for providing him with the source of goods, and the payment will be deducted with this batch of pearls, what do you think?"

"It's that simple?" Liang Feiyang looked at Ye Lingtian in disbelief, shook the natural pearl in his hand, and said excitedly: "Xiao Ye, although there have been larger natural pearls in the world, the shape of those pearls is irregular, and the luster is not as good as yours. It can be said that even if these pearls are not processed, they will be auctioned at international auctions, and they can definitely easily fetch millions of dollars, if it is only some necessary distribution in the initial stage, at most 10 pearls are enough to deduct the payment, as for those top high-end jadeite, as long as it ensures the normal sales of Liang's, we can supply. ”

"So expensive?"

This time it was Ye Lingtian's turn to be surprised, although he knew that natural pearls were precious, but he would never have thought that one would be able to fetch millions of dollars, if it was calculated in this way, he had collected a total of more than 2,000 pieces, wouldn't it be worth more than two billion dollars, converted into Huaxia coins, it would be more than 10 billion, and this is not counting the more than 100 fist-sized

More than 10 billion, how can you be ranked in the top ten of the Chinese rich list, I didn't expect to become a rich man worth more than 10 billion in a daze, I knew this, I should have collected all those smaller ones

But then Ye Lingtian secretly despised himself, why did he suddenly become so vulgar? No matter how much money there was in this mortal world, as soon as he left the earth in the future, it would be a pile of waste paper, and it would be useless.

Seeing that Ye Lingtian was silent, Mei Yarong thought for a while and said: "As a pearl used as a gemstone, its value can generally be evaluated from four aspects, the first is luster, accounting for 40% of the price, the second is the shape, accounting for 30% of the price, the third is the size, accounting for 20% of the price, and the fourth is the color, accounting for 10% of the price. Generally speaking, the brighter, rounder and larger, the smoother the surface of the pearl and the more precious the price, and these points, your pearls are all the best, and the millions of dollars that Feiyang just said is still a conservative estimate. It's just that scarcity is expensive, and if there are too many in a short period of time, it will inevitably lead to market saturation, thereby reducing the price of the pearl itself. ”

Ye Lingtian nodded with understanding and asked, "Then how many do you think is good?"

Liang Feiyang and Mei Yarong exchanged a look, and muttered: "At most, 50 pieces, and you can't take them all for auction at once." ”

Ye Lingtian nodded and said: "Okay, then take out 50 first, 10 will be auctioned to deduct the payment, as for the remaining 40 will be processed into jewelry or just sold directly, you will discuss with Pengzi at that time." ”

"Xiao Ye, I really don't know how to thank you, so many superb natural pearls, let us have another high-end brand" Mei Yarong looked happy, but seemed to think of something, and said with some concern: "It's just that the inventory of this superb jadeite is getting smaller and smaller, although we have been trying to control the amount of the market, but the demand is too great, and I am afraid that it will be out of stock in a few months." ”

Ye Lingtian naturally understood what Mei Yarong meant, and said disapprerovingly: "Uncle Liang, Aunt Mei, you can rest assured, which gambling stone market has a public market recently, and we will go together when the time comes."

Mei Yarong was secretly happy when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "A month later, it will be the Grand Duke of Xinzhou in Eastern Guangdong." ”

She and Liang Feiyang had long been guessing that Ye Lingtian was definitely not an ordinary person, and now that Ye Lingtian was willing to go out to gamble on stones, of course she was very happy in her heart, maybe she would be able to solve a few pieces of top-grade jade this time.

Ye Lingtian nodded and said with a smile: "Then it's decided, go to Xinzhou Pengzi in a month, you have to hurry up this month, go back first and make preparations, and then go together." ”

Liang Feiyang glanced at Qi Junpeng meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, the northwest is a big market, work hard, the future is limitless."

For Ye Lingtian, a primary school classmate, Liang Feiyang was naturally very envious in his heart, Ye Lingtian helped him solve tens of millions of goods as soon as he made a move, not only that, as long as Ye Lingtian was there, the Liang family would always support him, which was equivalent to saying that as long as Qi Junpeng could open the northwest market smoothly, he could sit at home and count the money

Qi Junpeng nodded again and again, and said flatteredly: "Thank you Mr. Liang and Mr. Mei, with your support, I will definitely take down this big market in the northwest."

Coming out of Liang's jewelry, Qi Junpeng has been in a daze, although Ye Lingtian had already told him before he came, but he didn't expect it to be so big anyway, the first time he distributed the goods was 60 million Huaxia coins, this is just some necessities, when he heard Liang Feiyang's words, his brain was clouded, so that although he cooperated with Liang's, he couldn't interject at all, and he didn't dare to interject indiscriminately.

In his opinion, it may be something that is difficult to do in a lifetime, but in a daze, it was done by Ye Lingtian so lightly, and in addition to being shocked, Qi Junpeng, who came to his senses, thought of the 60 million payment that Ye Lingtian deducted for himself with pearls, and couldn't help but say: "Ye Lingtian, that ...... I don't have that much money to pay you back right now......"

"Did I say I wanted you to pay it back now?". Ye Lingtian smiled, patted Qi Junpeng's shoulder, and said lightly: "Pengzi, you also know that I am not short of money, and it is not too late to pay me back when you have earned enough." ”

Although Ye Lingtian had no idea of asking Qi Junpeng to repay the money in his heart, in order to make Qi Junpeng enterprising, Ye Lingtian did not show it, and besides, it was not the time to tell him this.

"Brother, I won't say anything about thanks, let's go, let's find a place to have a good drink"

Qi Junpeng glanced at Ye Lingtian gratefully, for this Fa Xiao, who had not seen each other for nearly 10 years, Qi Junpeng really couldn't think of how to thank him, perhaps, it was the best choice for the two of them to have a drink at this time...... ，
