He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

He Zhenzhen, standing next to her, was dumbfounded. Looking at so much money, she raised her hands in disbelief and rubbed her eyes.

I finally accepted it!

Then, he excitedly patted Niu Bayi on the shoulder.

"Ba Yi, you're amazing! You're a genius! You came up with this auction idea... this made a lot more money, a whole 5000 yuan!"

"Hehe, we've struck it rich! We're practically halfway to becoming a ten-thousand-yuan household!"

The onlookers were also amazed:

"This young man is so clever! He organized this auction so well that everyone wanted to buy, and it felt like they'd be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't!"

"That's amazing! No wonder he's making money. With that eloquence and brains, he'll be more than just a millionaire; I bet he'll be a millionaire too!"

"My goodness, why didn't I ever think of auctioning it off before? It could make a lot of money, and people would be happy to open their wallets and do so!"

"You? Even if you knew how the auction went, you wouldn't be as good at talking as him. Look how happy he is with all those suckers, how smoothly he spends money. Not everyone can learn that!"

……

Not far away, several pairs of sinister eyes were watching.

One of them was a small old man in his fifties, wearing a floral shirt and a gold necklace.

It's quite heavy, probably weighing about half a pound.

He was also holding two health balls in his hand, making a snapping sound as he squeezed them.

Next to him was a man in his forties, who was speaking in a low voice.

"Master Cai, where did this kid get so many high-quality pearls? And he's so good at selling them. What kind of auction is this? It's an eye-opener for me. He's made a lot of money."

"A full 5000 yuan, that would probably take you one or two months to earn."

These days, someone who can earn 5000 yuan in one or two months is quite impressive.

Caiye chuckled, staring at the large stack of banknotes on Niu Bayi's table from afar, making no attempt to hide the greed in his eyes.

"Where did he get so many high-quality pearls? From me, of course. A poor fisherman like me, how could I possibly have gotten so many pearls? I accidentally dropped them, and he picked them up!"

The people nearby were slightly stunned.

The finance minister turned his head and asked with a smile, "Hmm? Didn't you understand what I meant?"

As soon as he asked the question, his men understood immediately and nodded.

The finance minister blinked his sly eyes and said slowly, "Hurry up and get it done."

With that, he turned around, pinched the health ball, and swayed away.

That silhouette exuded a sinister aura.

Niu Bayi never expected that the pearl would be sold so quickly.

The selling price was far higher than estimated.

His brilliant auction idea, combined with his exceptional eloquence, earned him so much extra money; he was truly delighted.

He packed his things, stuffed the banknotes into his satchel, and then slung it over his shoulder.

He grabbed He Zhenzhen's wrist and said, "Come on, I'll take you to get a necklace pendant made!"

He pulled He Zhenzhen to a stall and then asked the owner.

"I have a large pearl, could you make it into a pendant for me?"

He Zhenzhen added from the side.

"If we can't drill a hole in the pearl, can we just tie it with a red thread? Is that possible?"

The stall owner had also seen Niu Bayi's auction beforehand.

So many pearls were sold.

He chuckled and said, "You're still keeping pearls for yourself? No problem. It's a real shame to drill holes in good pearls. They're purely for making pendants. There are gold and silver cages available; it's up to you to choose."

He took out two long, flat boxes from under the counter and opened them.

The flat box was lined with sponge.

On top of the sponge, there were exquisitely crafted mini cages of various sizes.

The small ones are about the size of a soybean, while the large ones are slightly larger than a peanut.

A small cage inside a box, gleaming with gold.

A small cage inside a box, gleaming silver.

The stall owner said, "The gold cage is made of pure gold, and the silver cage is made of pure silver. You can choose one according to the size of the pearls, and I'll tell you the price. I guarantee a discount."

He Zhenzhen looked down, a hint of melancholy on her face.

"But that's not right. No matter how big your golden or silver cage is, it probably won't be able to fit my pearl inside."

The boss immediately laughed, unconvinced.

"Girl, you're mistaken. How could it not fit? My largest gold and silver cages can hold pearls with a diameter of twelve millimeters, the largest kind you used to sell—"

"They can all fit perfectly, unless it's the Pearl King."

"Let me tell you, this King Pearl is extremely rare, even once in a hundred years. Do you have...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly cried out!

The sound was so loud that it made the people around it deaf.

Immediately, pairs of eyes swept over.

Someone asked, "Old Wang, what are you yelling and shouting about?"

The shopkeeper, Old Wang, exclaimed incredulously, "Pearl King! Look, it's a Pearl King! I was just saying that Pearl Kings are extremely rare, and this girl has produced one—a super Pearl King!"

At this shout, everyone came over to look.

Immediately following was a series of exclamations!

"Truly a king among pearls! A pearl with a diameter exceeding fifteen millimeters can be called a king; this one must be at least eighteen millimeters!"

"Artificially cultivated pearls can range from 20 millimeters to over 10, but this one is clearly a wild, natural deep-sea pearl, which is extremely rare!"

"My goodness, this king of pearls must be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars!"

……

Everyone stared in shock at the young couple, Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen.

The sheer number of wild pearls they sold before was already alarming enough.

Unexpectedly, they have now produced a pearl with a diameter of a full eighteen millimeters.

Indeed, this pearl king was lying in He Zhenzhen's palm, shining brightly.

Amidst the pristine white expanse, a faint golden light shimmered.

It takes a hundred years for a pearl to turn into gold.

The gold color of this pearl king, though not very obvious, is only faint.

But it must have been at least sixty or seventy years.

The crowd that came to see the sights was packed three or four deep.

They all wished they could just use their eyes to draw that rare, world-class pearl to them!

He Zhenzhen also smiled broadly and gave her husband a proud look.

"My husband found this in the sea. He didn't want to sell it, saying he wanted to make it into a pendant for me to wear around my neck. It's a gift from him!"

As she spoke, He Zhenzhen acted like a little girl who hadn't grown up, skipping and jumping around.

I was already very happy to receive such a gift.

The fact that everyone around her was so shocked made her a hundred times happier!

Niu Bayi asked, "Boss, this pearl of mine is indeed a bit too big. Is there any way to get a small cage like this to put it in?"

The boss nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, no problem. It might be a little tight, but it'll fit perfectly. I'll adjust the opening. Do you want a gold cage or a silver cage? I think the gold cage is better, like a house full of gold and jade!"

"Gold is gold, and pearls are jade!"

Niu Bayi readily agreed, "Sure, I'll take the Golden Cage. How much?"

The shop owner said, "These gold and silver cages are all handmade by me. Strictly speaking, they don't count as jewelry. If you go to a gold jewelry store, it will cost 45 yuan per gram."

"For me, just give me 30 yuan per gram, about three grams, that's 90 yuan!"
