Chapter 2287: I Prepared a Small Gift for You

Ye Chen didn't expect that Fei Keyin would actually be willing to use these two famous watch companies, Patek Philippe and Rolex, to exchange for a Hemostatic Heart-Saving Pill with himself.

But after thinking about it carefully, for a top tycoon like her grandfather Fei Jianzhong, exchanging two hundred billion US dollars for three to five years of lifespan is still very cost-effective.

After all, the Rejuvenation Pill can be auctioned for over three hundred billion US dollars, so selling the Hemostatic Heart-Saving Pill for one-tenth of that is a piece of cake.

Actually, Ye Chen also knows very well that although Fei Keyin says it jokingly, this is actually her true inner thought.

It's just that by saying it in this joking tone, she has left herself enough room to maneuver both before and after, able to advance or retreat.

If I express unwillingness to sell the Hemostatic Heart-Saving Pill, she will definitely treat it as a joke and brush it off lightly.

But if I go along with her words and show interest in selling it, she will definitely put away her joking attitude and have a serious, in-depth talk with me.

This makes Ye Chen inevitably sigh again in his heart: "Fei Keyin is truly extremely clever; at any time and in any situation, she can make her judgments very clear and control the rhythm very precisely—she is indeed remarkable."

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but secretly think: "However, Fei Keyin definitely didn't expect that I have already planned to give her a Hemostatic Heart-Saving Pill."

Upon this thought, Ye Chen suddenly felt a mischievous urge.

He knows that Fei Keyin is now in a position where she can advance or retreat, seemingly holding the initiative, but he also knows that he still has a killer move that can move a thousand jin with four liang—that is, to deliberately act confused while understanding everything.

So, he looked at Fei Keyin and smiled, then looked at the luxurious and brand-new interior of the aircraft, and suddenly said: "Oh right, Miss Fei, your aircraft is really new—could it be that you just bought it?"

Fei Keyin was slightly startled.

She had thought that she could properly discuss the purchase of the Hemostatic Heart-Saving Pill with Ye Chen through this joking conversation, and since the topic had come this far, perhaps this matter could really be settled.

But she never expected that Ye Chen would directly change the subject.

This made her feel as if she had punched the air—let alone making any actual progress, she couldn't even get a bit of feedback.

This made Fei Keyin feel very disappointed.

She couldn't help but think of Liu Manqiong, and of the Hemostatic Heart-Saving Pill Ye Chen gave her, making her feel even more inferior.

She thought: "Mr. Ye knew Liu Manqiong for just a few days and could give her a Rejuvenation Pill, but Mr. Ye has known me for much longer than Liu Manqiong, yet he isn't even willing to sell me a single Hemostatic Heart-Saving Pill..."

"Could it be... could it be that in his heart, I am inferior to Liu Manqiong by this much?"

At this moment, besides feeling disappointed, Fei Keyin also felt a sense of grievance, which made her feel suffocated in her heart, her eye sockets even slightly red and moist.

But she didn't want Ye Chen to notice, so she quickly adjusted herself and, following his lead, smiled and said: "To be honest with you, this aircraft was actually ordered by my grandfather three years ago from Boeing; the prototype is a Boeing 747-8, and since the interior renovation also needed to be done by Boeing, the entire production cycle was extremely long, and it was only delivered last week in Chicago."

Saying this, Fei Keyin paused slightly, then continued: "Originally, I didn't even plan to use this aircraft. But when my grandfather heard I was coming to Hong Kong Island to see you, he directly had this aircraft transferred to New York."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, smiling and asked: "How is Mr. Fei lately?"

"Not bad." Fei Keyin said truthfully: "His body has no major issues in the short term, and his mood is also good, so his condition is better than before recently; he's even making arrangements to learn Tai Chi from others, saying he wants to strengthen his body and live two more years."

Ye Chen smiled: "Looks like the old gentleman is in good condition."

"Yes." Fei Keyin nodded: "Looking at his overall condition, he is much better than before, and this is all thanks to your help, Mr. Ye."

Saying this, Fei Keyin added: "Oh right, Mr. Ye, my grandfather is determined to win the Rejuvenation Pill auction next year, saying he will spare no expense to obtain the final whole Rejuvenation Pill."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and asked her: "You are now the head of the Fei family; from your current perspective, do you think it's worth it for the old gentleman to spend several hundred billion US dollars on a Rejuvenation Pill for the entire Fei family?"

Fei Keyin thought for a moment and said seriously: "If we look purely from the perspective of the Fei family head, then it's definitely not worth it."

"Even though the Fei family is wealthy, the actual cash they can come up with is no more than the value of a single Rejuvenation Pill."

"Once this money is taken out, the entire Fei family will become like a luxurious treasure aircraft with no money for fuel, and many business operations will be severely affected."

"Moreover, to free up enough cash in advance, I may have to start reducing the family's unnecessary expenditures and long-term return investments from the second half of this year, to ensure at least 350 billion to 400 billion US dollars in funds are left for the first half of next year."

Saying this, Fei Keyin let out a light sigh and added: "But my identity is not just that of the Fei family head; I am also his granddaughter. Having been by his side these years, I have deeply felt his strong desire to survive."

"I say this without exaggeration: for him personally, he would even be willing to take out 80% of the Fei family's assets to exchange for twenty years of his own life, because in his view, most of the Fei family's current industries were built by him through hard work, and even if he took 80%, the remaining 20% would be enough for all Fei family members to spend several lifetimes."

At this moment, Fei Keyin paused slightly, then sighed: "So for me now, on one hand I cannot let the Fei family suffer heavy losses, and on the other hand I cannot disappoint my grandfather's desire to survive. If I refuse him now, what difference would there be between me and my uncle? The most heartbreaking thing in the world is that the boy who slayed the dragon eventually becomes the dragon himself—and this is what I constantly remind myself of."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "So how do you plan to balance these two opposing positions?"

Fei Keyin thought for a moment and said seriously: "Taking out 80% of the assets would be irresponsible—to myself and to the entire Fei family. But if I take out 50%, I would certainly not hesitate, because for my grandfather now, the value of life surpasses everything."

Saying this, she pointed to the luxurious floor inside the aircraft and told Ye Chen: "When he is truly on his deathbed, he would use this private aircraft, which cost over five hundred million US dollars to build, to exchange for even just one day of his life—and he would certainly not hesitate to agree."

Saying this, she sighed, looked at Ye Chen, and said very sincerely: "Mr. Ye, if you are willing to sell me a Rejuvenation Pill, I am willing to offer half of the Fei family's assets, and I will never go back on my word."

Ye Chen smiled ambiguously and said seriously: "People become more afraid of death the longer they live. Even if you truly help him buy a Rejuvenation Pill next year and let him live another twenty years, twenty years will still pass eventually. By then, he will be even more afraid of death than now—what will you do then?"

Fei Keyin said very seriously: "I am not blindly filial; as long as I can do this once and have a clear conscience, that's enough."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, took out a Hemostatic Heart-Saving Pill from his hand without showing any emotion, and said to Fei Keyin: "By the way, I prepared a small gift for you—I had planned to give it to you earlier, but I just kept forgetting."
