Chapter 009: Pleasant Cooperation

"Yes, they are pure natural freshwater pearls, not those cultivated in farms," Lin Feng said

When purchasing pearls from other vendors, they are typically bought at a fixed price. Only Li Ruyun measures each pearl individually and then estimates the price. Regardless of whether Li Ruyun's pricing is inflated, her attitude at least leaves Lin Feng very satisfied

There are a total of 22 pearls here. I have estimated the price for you; I can offer 6,300 yuan to purchase them. What do you think?

Lin Feng did not have much understanding of pearls. After listening to Li Ruyun's explanation, he felt a sense of realization in his heart. No wonder those people did not bid high; it seems they mistook my pearls for cultured pearls!

Please take a seat

Li Ruyun smiled gently and said, "That is fine, no problem"

Li Ruyun smiled and said, "It is not quite like that. There is a saying that gold has a price while jade is priceless. Good jade is invaluable and cannot be priced like gold. Similarly, pearls are like jade; good pearls are also priceless. Their value depends on the buyer's level of appreciation for the pearls."

Lin Feng touched his nose and said with a face full of fear: "The bronze remaining warrior can still be dealt with, but let's avoid the golden remaining warrior."

Mr. Lin, please have some tea

Li Ruyun nodded slightly, gazing at the pearl in her hand, and softly explained: "In terms of facts and literature, the current pearl farming technology has become quite mature. The external differences between natural pearls and cultured pearls are minimal, and for ordinary consumers, there is not much distinction either, especially in our small locality. Even genuine natural pearls cannot fetch high prices here."

Is it a pleasant cooperation? Or is it a prelude to something? Isn't it just a transaction involving a few pearls? Is it really necessary to be so formal? Li Ruyun muttered to herself, yet she still stood up to shake hands with Lin Feng

Lin Feng stood up and extended his hand, saying: "I am very satisfied with this price, Miss Lin. I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance"

Li Ruyun did not think much, greeted Lin Feng, and then began to measure the pearls in the bag one by one

Lin Feng solemnly stated: "I can assure you that this is genuine wild pearl; as for whether you believe it or not, that is for you to judge."

The skin is so good; I don't know if it's naturally like this or if it's due to excellent care

Can I wait for you to calculate the price before I make a decision?" Lin Feng said, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

Oh? Does Mr. Lin mean ... ... ? A hint of mild curiosity appeared on Li Ruyun's face

Upon seeing Li Ruyun's office, Lin Feng had a favorable impression

The specific price requires detailed calculation, as each pearl varies in size. The larger the pearl, the more valuable it is. I need to measure them first to determine the exact price. If Mr. Lin agrees, I can start the calculation now

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Ruyun's face: "Is this a freshwater natural pearl?"

Li Ruyun is indeed trained in jewelry, possessing a professional level of expertise in gem identification. Upon examining the blue pearl in her hand, she immediately recognized it as a natural freshwater pearl

Lin Feng seemed to have anticipated Li Ruyun's thoughts and suddenly said with a smile, "Miss Lin probably has not yet understood my meaning"

"Hehe, coward." Xiaoli shot Lin Feng a glare, and the two of them burst into laughter

You can call me Xiaoli

Li Ruyun smiled and said nonchalantly, "Mr. Lin, your pearls should all be genuine, but I cannot confirm whether they are truly natural and wild. This requires professional appraisal to determine. Even if the pearls are natural and wild, selling them at a high price also necessitates finding the right buyer, which is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. If Mr. Lin were to seek appraisal and then sell them himself, it would certainly be a troublesome matter, and he would likely not achieve a high price."

Of course, Lin Feng also knew that there is a significant difference between the purchase price and the selling price of pearls, which is also the way these jewelers make their profits

"Not really, Mr. Lin told a joke that was quite funny. Sister Yun, if there's nothing else, I'll head out first." Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and quickly escaped

"Yes, I think so too. Therefore, I would like to make it easier and sell directly to your jewelry store. As for how you operate and how much you can sell it for, that is no longer my concern," Lin Feng nodded and said

Xiao Li's ears were quite sharp; she actually heard Lin Feng's murmurs. With a smile, she quietly said: "Indeed, she is a golden leftover warrior, and moreover, a white, rich beauty. So, what do you think? Do you have the strength to defeat her?"

Li Ruyun gently stroked the pearl in her hand and smiled as she said, "Mr. Lin understands this principle, which is excellent. We are here to discuss business; I can purchase these pearls at a price slightly higher than three times that of cultured pearls. What do you think, Mr. Lin?"

The door opened once again, and the waitress Xiaoli, who had just greeted Lin Feng, entered with a cup of tea.

What is the specific price

By the way, Xiaoli, is it just your boss's wife in your store? Where is your boss?

"This is all I should do," Xiao Li said with a modest smile, covering her mouth.

The phrase "exquisite beauty, especially in bed" suddenly popped into Lin Feng's mind

"Not married yet, another golden leftover warrior!" In this day and age, why are there so many golden leftover warriors? Lin Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart, but couldn't help but mutter softly.

The luster of your blue pearls is indeed very beautiful, but they are too round, too perfect. When pearls are too round, they do not resemble 'real pearls.' I cannot be certain whether such pearls are genuine natural pearls.

Hehe, Xiaoli, thank you just now. If it weren't for you calling the boss's wife over, I wouldn't have been able to close this deal

Lin Feng's gaze remained fixed on Li Ruyun's firm and ample backside, only withdrawing his attention once the door had closed.

Thank you, by the way, I still don't know how to address you

Li Ruyun appeared unaffected, her complexion normal as she opened the bag and took out a blue pearl

Your blue pearls are too round, and each one is like that. To speak frankly, they do not appear to be genuine wild pearls

Six thousand three hundred, which is roughly two hundred eighty dollars each. Regarding this price, Lin Feng was unsure whether it was high or low, but among numerous jewelry stores, Li Ruyun's offer was undoubtedly the most expensive, being twice that of Wang's Jewelry across the street. Moreover, Li Ruyun's attitude was the most meticulous and serious.

After a pause, Li Ruyun explained again: "Natural pearls are pearls that are produced accidentally, with their cores mostly consisting of irregular foreign objects such as small stones, which is why the resulting pearls are generally not very smooth. In contrast, the core of cultured pearls is artificially inserted, making it relatively easier to produce well-shaped round pearls"

"What are you talking about, so happy?" The door creaked open, and Li Ruyun walked in curiously, holding a small item.

From a professional perspective, pearls cannot be classified as artificial. Cultured pearls are also placed in a natural environment to grow slowly, which can be considered as natural pearls. Currently, most pearls available in the market are cultured pearls, and genuine wild natural pearls are virtually nonexistent

Li Ruyun's office is organized very neatly, with all items meticulously arranged. It is evident that Li Ruyun is a woman who values cleanliness

For the average consumer, whether a pearl is natural or farm-raised holds no practical significance; however, for certain enthusiasts of pearls, there is a world of difference between natural pearls and cultured pearls

Boss? This is our boss! Oh, I see, Mr. Lin, you wouldn't be interested in our boss, would you? Let me share some good news with you, our boss is still unmarried!

Lin Feng said with some confusion, "Does this mean that natural pearls are not valuable?"

The two sat down on the sofa. Lin Feng reached into his pocket and took out a small bag, handing it over to Li Ruyun. It was unclear whether it was intentional, but in the fleeting moment of their hands crossing, Lin Feng's hand brushed against the palm of Li Ruyun's hand, a smooth sensation spreading from the back of his hand, how soft and slippery it was

Please wait here for a moment. Li Ruyun put down the pearl and swayed her hips as she left
