Chapter 305 Am I Looking Old?
On September 1, Wang Ye had already arrived in Xiangjiang and moved into the small suite he just bought.
Of course, Ellie prepared everything in the room in advance. She originally said she would come and help cook and clean the room, but Wang Ye smiled and refused. She just came here to stay for four or five days a month, so there was no need to make a big fuss.
Of course, Zhao Jinlong and the others also came over and rented a house on the same floor to be responsible for Wang Ye's safety issues.
This time, Wang Ye went to Chow Tai Fook's headquarters casually because the crown he customized had been built, Zhou Jin called him a few days ago.
I just took this opportunity to bring the things over.
Wang Ye took Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Da and others to drive to Chow Tai Fook's headquarters. Zhou Jin and Chen Zhian had already been waiting there.
In the VIP room, Chen Zhian brought out a huge box of silk bread, and he gently placed the box on the table in front of Wang Ye.
"Mr. Wang, open it and take a look. This is the pink crown created according to your requirements!"
Chen Zhian's tone was a little quick, because he was very excited. As a jewelry master, being qualified to create a certain treasure of the past is the greatest honor.
Even decades or even hundreds of years later, when this crown appears, others will remember that it was created by Chen Zhian himself!
Chen Zhian had no doubt at all whether this crown could become a treasure of the past. This was designed and made by him in accordance with Wang Ye's requirements. Chen Zhian knew how precious this crown was.
Because Wangye requires that all this crown be made of pink diamonds and pink natural pearls as the main materials, and these materials are relatively rare, Chow Tai Fook spent a long time collecting raw materials.
For an ordinary diamond, one carat costs about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, while a carat of diamonds with good clarity and colority costs more than 100,000 yuan per carat. As for pink diamonds, one carat costs about 700,000 to 800,000 yuan per carat.
Here it refers to buying finished products in jewelry stores. Chow Tai Fook's batch purchase of diamond rough stones is of course much cheaper.
But even so, the cost per carat will reach about 600,000 RMB, which is 100,000 US dollars per carat.
On this pink crown, 999 pink diamonds were used, all of which were about one carat. The cost alone was 100 million US dollars!
Plus, 9 huge pink deep-sea pearls dotted, as well as two circles of 198 small pearls and 36 rubies on the base.
The crown is in the center, of course, the pink star worth 75 million US dollars.
On both sides of the pink star are dotted with a holly flower made of pink diamonds and a five-pointed star.
After the entire crown was built, the material cost alone was 200 million US dollars!
According to Chen Zhian, among the existing crowns, if only in terms of value, then this crown will definitely rank in the top five.
If the wheel is beautiful, Chen Zhian is not boasting, and no crown can compare to this "pink crown"!
...
Wang Ye smiled and reached out to open the box. The moment the lid opened, the dazzling light made the eyes of the people in the house blink.
Under the chandelier on the head, this crown with a total of a thousand diamonds exudes dazzling brilliance, like a dream.
"So beautiful..." Wang Ye blurted out.
Chen Zhian looked glamorous and said with a smile: "Are Mr. Wang still satisfied?"
Wang Ye took out the crown and took it in his hand to weigh it. The weight was not light, so he looked at it carefully.
He is worthy of being a master. His design and production are exquisite, and of course there will be no flaws.
"I'm very satisfied. I'm really troubled Teacher Chen this time." Wang Ye thanked.
Zhou Jin was a little itchy next to him. He wanted to know who Wang Ye would give this thing to, because when this crown was released, their Chow Tai Fook Group would also cooperate with the publicity.
We always want to let everyone know that such beautiful jewelry was designed by their company.
"I'd like to ask, Mr. Wang is going to give this crown to..." Zhou Jin asked carefully.
Actually, this is a bit rude, but Wang Ye
Ye didn't care, he just smiled and replied, "I haven't thought about it yet."
It’s not that he didn’t think about who he would give it to, but he just didn’t know when he would give it to it.
After seeing the thing, he was very satisfied, so Wang Ye took out his black card to prepare for payment. Zhou Jin said generously that as long as he waited until the crown was released and allowed to use it for publicity, he would only charge the raw materials fee.
There is nothing shameful about this, and Wang Ye didn't mind them using it for publicity, so he agreed.
The raw materials fee was paid directly by swiping the card, $12.5 billion.
After repackaging the things, Wang Ye went directly to the Xiangjiang Branch of Citibank, and he wanted to put the things into the bank safe.
Otherwise, I would have something worth 200 million US dollars with me, which would have caused trouble for myself.
...
After getting everything done, Wang Ye returned to his small suite and rested for a while.
I got used to living in Pengchengwan No. 1, and suddenly I moved into a small house of more than 60 square meters, which was indeed a little uncomfortable.
The entire suite is not as large as the bathroom in the No. 1 master bedroom of Wangye Pengcheng Bay...
But in Xiangjiang, this house is already pretty good, so let's live in it.
Wang Ye smiled mockingly. When he first arrived in Pengcheng more than two years ago, the house he lived in was far inferior to this one. He lived in different places at that time.
It is indeed easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Wang Ye was about to go downstairs to have something to eat, but there was no private butler here to cook for him.
However, there are many delicious foods in Xiangjiang, and there are many old stores that have been open for many years. The shops may be very small and the decoration is simple, but the things are indeed delicious.
Wang Ye was too lazy to find the old shops on the streets and alleys, so he went directly to the campus of Hong Kong University, which are also very famous for their restaurants.
Today is September 1st, and the school has already started, so the restaurants are also open.
After going downstairs, I walked a few minutes to the campus of Hong Kong University. School has started today, and the campus is full of energetic college students.
Looking at the young faces filled with smiles, Wang Ye felt better and felt how many years younger.
After looking at the signs on the roadside, Wang Ye followed the road to Taikoo Tower. The Taikoo canteen here is quite famous.
It's the meal time now, and there are quite a lot of people in the canteen.
Wang Ye glanced around and found that the canteen of Hong Kong University is similar to that of domestic university canteens. There are many kinds of cuisines sold in a row of windows.
Just hold the tray yourself and buy what you like.
Wang Ye lined up, took the pallet, and looked around to see if there was anything he liked to eat.
He has been running around over the years, but his appetite has become very adaptable. He can eat both Chinese and Western food, but it doesn’t matter whether it is north and south.
Xiangjiang has a southern flavor and many Cantonese cuisines. After watching it for a while, he decided to go to the most crowded family to buy things.
For unfamiliar places to eat, the one that visits the most crowded places is absolutely right.
After taking two or three shots, it was his turn. Wang Ye asked for a fresh shrimp and wonton and an oyster baked dish. The food was not expensive, and it was only a few hundred Hong Kong dollars.
Holding the tray, I found a quiet corner, sat down and started eating.
I have to say that the taste can only be considered ok, but it really can't be said to be very delicious. But this is understandable. Wang Ye has been going to eat in recent years and how much does a meal cost.
This is just a student cafeteria, a meal costs only 100 Hong Kong dollars, and it cannot be so high.
While he was burying his head in his meal, Wang Ye heard a crisp sound of a girl coming from behind.
"Thunder Monkey, can I sit on the throne?"
Wang Ye turned his head in surprise and saw a petite girl looking at him with a dinner plate and smiling.
"Sorry, I can't speak Cantonese." Wang Ye smiled apologetically. He really didn't know what the other party was saying.
Although he has been in Pengcheng for more than two years, Wang Ye has never learned Cantonese. There are not many people speaking Cantonese in Pengcheng.
Everyone comes from all over the world, and basically they hand in Mandarin
flow.
"Ah? Sorry, I asked if there is anyone here, can I do this?" the girl quickly apologized.
"Of course, please sit down." Wang Ye said with a smile.
The girl sat down carefully after thanking her.
Wang Ye continued to bury his head and eat his own food. The girl secretly glanced at him and couldn't help but speak, "Uncle, you rarely eat oyster baked goods. This one would be more delicious if you drizzle a little light soy."
Wang Ye looked at her in surprise again, not because he wanted to release the salt soy sauce because he ate oyster baking, but because the girl actually called him "Uncle"!
What a joke? He is only over 25 years old this year, and he is less than 26 years old, but he is called an uncle?!
Is it because I have worked too hard in the past two years and I seem too old? Wang Ye unconsciously reached out and touched his face. His skin was well maintained...
"Do I look old?" Wang Ye asked calmly.
The short-haired girl stared at her big eyes and replied blankly: "It's okay."
"Then why are you calling me uncle?" Wang Ye asked again.
"Ye...? You look in your thirties, I am only seventeen years old. If you don't call you uncle, would you call you uncle?" the short-haired girl said in surprise.
Wang Ye was speechless. Although he was not in his thirties, in the eyes of such a little girl, is there a difference between 25 and 30 years old?
He simply didn't bother to explain.
He just asked with a smile, "You are only seventeen years old and you are in college. You are quite amazing."
The short-haired girl said proudly: "Of course, if you don't have good grades, you won't be able to get into the Hong Kong University. By the way, uncle, are you a teacher? But depending on your age, you won't be a professor."
Wang Ye said helplessly: "You call me... Ye Wang, this is my name. Don't call me uncle, it sounds weird."
He almost blurted out that he was called "Wang Ye". Fortunately, he remembered that he read emba, but he used the pseudonym "Ye Wang".
