"These three boxes of clam shells contain pearls that are all top-grade, even the highest quality I've ever seen! No less than that super large clam shell from last time!" Master Yu exclaimed in shock.
Chen Guang, standing beside him, was also stunned. He said, "These three pieces of ambergris are even more incredible. Each one is flawless, with a captivating aroma! They are all top-tier among the top!"
Ye Feng, seeing their astonished expressions, was not surprised at all.
He knew this would be the reaction, as even he himself had been so shocked when he first saw these items.
"Gentlemen, how do you feel?" Ye Feng asked calmly after they had examined the items thoroughly.
Master Yu replied, "Wonderful, simply wonderful! These are truly the world's finest pearls. Three boxes like these are enough to make our jewelry famous domestically!"
"Haha! These three large pieces are enough for us to develop top-tier perfumes for two to three generations!" Chen Guang added excitedly.
Ye Feng smiled at their joy and said, "Heh, that's good then!"
At this point, Master Yu said, "Young man, or rather, my God of Wealth, just name your price!"
"Yes, yes, and these three pieces of ambergris too. I won't haggle with you this time. As long as your price isn't outrageous, I'll take it all!" Chen Guang chimed in.
Hearing this, Ye Feng chuckled and stated, "Then I'll be direct. Fifteen million per pearl! Fifteen thousand per gram for the ambergris!"
The two men were taken aback at first, and then their brows furrowed.
Master Yu said sternly, "Fifteen million per pearl? Ye Feng, aren't you asking for too much?"
Chen Guang's expression also soured slightly. He said, "Indeed! The finest ambergris is only around twelve thousand, and you're asking fifteen thousand. That's excessive!"
Ye Feng, noticing the shift in their emotions, inwardly smirked, as he had intentionally set the price high.
He let out a soft laugh and replied, "It seems, gentlemen, that you don't yet fully understand my products!"
Hearing this, both of them looked puzzled and asked in unison, "What do you mean?"
"It seems I need to explain it to you personally!" Ye Feng said with a faint smile.
Ye Feng casually picked up a clam shell, took out a pearl, and said, "Master Yu, why don't you take out your most precious pearl for comparison!"
Master Yu, unsure of Ye Feng's intentions, still produced the prized possession of the Jin Sheng Yuan Jewelry store.
This pearl was not the one Ye Feng had sold to their store previously, but the store's treasure before Ye Feng's appearance.
This pearl, with a diameter of 18mm, had a pale golden-yellow hue. It was perfectly round and full, a top-grade pearl with a market value of over eight million.
Ye Feng held up the pearl he had casually picked out for comparison. In terms of size, luster, color, and roundness, the pearl in Master Yu's hand immediately paled in comparison. They were clearly not in the same league.
Master Yu's pearl had an auction price of over eight million, yet Ye Feng's randomly selected pearl far surpassed it. Fifteen million was not an unreasonable price.
Before the comparison, Master Yu had been somewhat indignant upon hearing Ye Feng's high price.
However, after the comparison, he clearly saw the difference and could only sigh, "Indeed, our pearls cannot compare to yours!"
Ye Feng, however, smiled and said, "Appearance is not the main point I wish to convey!"
"Then what is your point?" Master Yu was even more perplexed.
Ye Feng pulled Master Yu's left hand closer and placed the pearl in his palm. "Close your eyes and feel it carefully!"
Although Master Yu was confused, he followed Ye Feng's instructions.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt a coolness emanating from his left palm, spreading throughout his body.
All his inner turmoil, melancholy, and distress vanished.
It felt as if he were lying in a cool countryside stream, being cleansed by the refreshing spring water, bringing him immense joy and comfort.
In fact, the reason Ye Feng had quoted such a high price earlier was to provoke them.
This was the only way to showcase the pearl's effects, and it was clear he had succeeded.
Master Yu had been filled with anger and impatience upon hearing Ye Feng's exorbitant demand. However, the moment the pearl touched his palm, all his negative emotions disappeared instantly.
"This, this pearl is so magical! It can instantly stabilize my emotions. It's incredible!" Master Yu exclaimed, his face filled with shock.
Ye Feng smiled at his reaction and asked, "So, with such appearance and such efficacy, is it worth fifteen million?"
"It is!" Master Yu said, feeling the pearl's effect, and finally nodded heavily.
Just then, Chen Guang, looking bewildered, said, "Old Yu, are you serious? Is one pearl really worth fifteen million?"
Ye Feng turned to Chen Guang and said, "Now it's your turn for an introduction to this ambergris!"
"Oh? I'd like to see how you'll try to fool me!" Chen Guang clearly felt that the pearl was not worth fifteen million and believed Master Yu had been deceived.
Ye Feng, however, smiled faintly and chipped off a small piece from a block of ambergris. "My ambergris is different from ordinary ambergris. Its fixative effect is more than three times that of other ambergris!"
Hearing this, Chen Guang was startled. He quickly took the piece Ye Feng had chipped off and smelled it.
As expected, after smelling it, the fragrance lingered for a long time, astonishing him.
Ye Feng continued, "So, with ambergris like this, what quality of perfume do you think can be created? I don't think I need to elaborate further!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Chen Guang immediately nodded, "You're right, it's worth the price. We were short-sighted before!"
However, at this moment, Master Yu spoke up, "Ye Feng, your products are indeed worth their value. But seeing as we are old friends, could you perhaps offer a slight discount?"
Chen Guang also quickly added, "Yes! We are friends now, can you give us a better price?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately smiled and said, "Of course, I can. In fact, these can all be given to you for free!"
The two men were stunned for a few seconds, as if they weren't sure if they had heard correctly.
The next moment, Master Yu asked uncertainly, "What did you say? For free?"
"Yes! Did we mishear, or did you misspeak?" Chen Guang inquired.
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "You heard correctly. The pearls and ambergris before you can indeed be given to you for free, but I have one condition!"
Hearing this, they eagerly asked, "What condition?"
Ye Feng stated calmly, "My condition is that I want to meet someone from the Zhou family behind you!"
Both of them were very confused by Ye Feng's request and did not immediately agree.
After all, in their opinion, to involve their backer, the Zhou family, for such a small amount of ambergris and pearls seemed like making a mountain out of a molehill.
Ye Feng, seeing the change in their expressions, understood their thoughts.
Therefore, he continued, "What if I told you that I have over thirty pieces of this ambergris, and more than thirty boxes of these pearl-bearing clam shells?"
