Ke Ai de Xiao Yu

Chapter 167 Smiling on the Outside, but Inside...

Ye Feng nodded upon hearing this, saying, "I also think it's ambergris, but I couldn't be sure, so I brought it for Master Yu to examine!"

Master Yu heard this and replied, "Actually, I don't understand it too well myself, as I'm not an expert in this area!"

"I know, but I didn't know where to get it appraised, so I came to you!" Ye Feng explained.

In reality, he should have taken it directly to a perfume shop for a more accurate appraisal, but he didn't know if there was one nearby, nor did he know anyone. If he were to be cheated, it would be bad.

However, he was familiar with Manager Tang and Master Yu at Jin Shengyuan Jewelry Store, so he brought things to them for appraisal.

If they didn't know, it wouldn't be too late to take it elsewhere for appraisal.

"I see, that's easy! Please wait a moment!" With that, Master Yu immediately made a phone call.

About five to six minutes later, a car rushed to a stop in front of Jin Shengyuan Jewelry Store.

A bald old man, around Master Yu's age, rushed in and exclaimed, "Old Yu, Old Yu, where is this ambergris you're talking about?"

Master Yu saw him and chuckled, "Yo, Old Chen, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly!"

"Stop the nonsense, where's the item?" the old man asked impatiently.

Seeing this, Master Yu handed him the grayish-black waxy solid that Ye Feng had.

The old man took it and his eyes widened.

He weighed it lightly a few times, then smelled its aroma. Finally, he scraped it with his fingernail and immediately saw that it was all white inside.

Next, he picked up a tiny bit of the scraped substance and tasted it.

After doing all this, he exclaimed excitedly, "Haha! It's truly ambergris, and the finest, purest sperm whale ambergris! We're rich, rich!"

"Hey, hey, hey, rich from what? This isn't yours!" Master Yu said, snatching the ambergris from his hand.

The old man came to his senses and said, "It's no use keeping it, sell it to me! Just tell me how much!"

Master Yu gave him a sideways glance and said, "This item isn't mine either, it belongs to this young friend beside me!"

"What? It's his?"

Upon hearing this, the old man took a closer look at Ye Feng and said, "Young man, sell this to me!"

Ye Feng heard this and asked, "Uh, who is this?"

Master Yu quickly stepped forward and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you! This fellow is named Chen Guang. Like us, he's from a company under the Zhou family. We handle jewelry, and they handle perfumes!"

"Chen Guang, this young friend is Ye Feng! This piece of ambergris belongs to him!" Master Yu introduced them to each other.

Ye Feng quickly nodded upon hearing this, "Oh, oh, I see, hello, hello!"

"Hello, hehe! Young man, this item is useless to you, how about selling it to me?" Chen Guang said with a sly grin.

Ye Feng nodded and said, "It's possible, but the price..."

"The price is negotiable! The quality of your ambergris is good, how about I give you three thousand yuan per gram? Hehe!" Chen Guang said.

Ye Feng felt that the price was not quite what he had estimated.

As far as he knew, top-grade ambergris should cost at least eight thousand yuan per gram. This guy was only offering three thousand, clearly trying to rip him off.

*Slap!*

Just as Ye Feng was about to protest that the price was too low, Master Yu suddenly slapped Chen Guang on the shoulder.

Chen Guang, displeased, angrily exclaimed, "You, why are you hitting me?"

"Are you trying to cheat our Young Friend Ye!" Master Yu said.

Chen Guang quickly replied, "Young Friend Ye? You, are you close?"

"What do you think?" Master Yu stared at him.

Chen Guang pouted and said, "Alright! Since he's your friend, then five thousand per gram!"

*Slap!*

However, as soon as Chen Guang finished speaking, Master Yu heavily slapped his other shoulder.

"Why are you hitting me again!" Chen Guang said indignantly.

Master Yu said, "You're not stating the true price. Although I'm not an ambergris expert, I do know its price. Top-grade ambergris costs between eight thousand and twelve thousand yuan per gram!"

Chen Guang's expression turned somewhat displeased and he said, "Well, that also depends on the quality of the ambergris! Five thousand is already a very high price for this quality!"

However, Master Yu didn't believe him and raised his hand to slap him again.

Chen Guang quickly said, "Stop, eight, eight thousand! Is that acceptable now!"

From three thousand to eight thousand all at once?

Ye Feng watched from the side, silent, with a smile on his face, but inwardly he was cursing!

How greedy was this guy to try and cheat him so much!

Master Yu, however, said, "Not enough! Higher!"

Chen Guang, feigning misery, said, "Brother, this is the quality of his ambergris, this is already the highest price!"

But Master Yu chuckled, "Is that so? I just heard someone say this is the top-grade sperm whale ambergris!"

"Ah! This, this... my foul mouth!" The old man was furious and quickly slapped himself twice.

Of course, he was just putting on a show, not actually hitting himself.

Master Yu saw this and continued, "Besides, white ambergris is expensive ambergris. If you give this price, we might as well take it to an auction!"

Chen Guang was speechless and said, "Damn it, I knew I couldn't fool you, old fox, you saw through everything! Fine, eleven thousand per gram, that should be enough, right! You have to let me make some profit!"

Master Yu nodded, "That's more like it!"

After speaking, Master Yu looked at Ye Feng and said, "Young friend Ye, eleven thousand per gram, that should be a good price! What do you think?"

Ye Feng said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Master Yu!"

In fact, he had originally thought that selling it for eight or nine thousand per gram would be great, so eleven thousand was even more satisfactory.

"You're welcome! We're old friends! If you have anything good in the future, remember to bring it to me!" Master Yu said with a smile.

Ye Feng nodded repeatedly, "Definitely, definitely!"

Next, they weighed the ambergris, which was one thousand two hundred and thirteen grams.

Chen Guang directly transferred twelve million one hundred and thirty thousand yuan to Ye Feng, not a cent more or less.

When Ye Feng received the twelve million, he could hardly believe that such a small piece of material could sell for over ten million.

At this moment, Chen Guang said, "Young man, if you have any more good stuff like this in the future, remember to notify me first. Good quality, high price! I'll take as much as you have!"

"Okay!" Ye Feng smiled and nodded.

After a brief chat, Ye Feng prepared to leave.

At this time, Manager Tang spoke up, "Great Wealth God Ye, please keep an eye out for pearls when you go out to sea. As long as the quality is good, the price is not an issue!"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye out when I get back!"

The sky-high price of ambergris left Ye Feng incredulous. Upon returning, a bold idea formed in his mind...
