Chapter 995: As calm as an ancient well

Ma Lan has two standards for measuring the value of items.

The first is how much money this thing can be exchanged for.

The second is how much face this thing can be exchanged for.

In her eyes, everything in the world, all-encompassing, boils down to money and face.

For example, the top-tier caviar skincare set Ye Chen gave her had a purchase price of nearly 400,000, and could sell for at least 300,000, so she could clearly feel the weight of this 300,000.

This meets her first standard: valuable!

For another example, the basic Hermes bag worth over 100,000. Not only can Ma Lan sell it for 100,000, but carrying it out every day allows her to enjoy the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of others, making her feel very face-saving while feeling the weight of over 100,000.

This meets her second standard: face.

At this time, Ma Lan looked at the Yuan blue and white porcelain and thought with disinterest, "If a thing cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be carried out to show off to others, then how much value does this thing have?"

"This Yuan blue and white elephant-ear vase seems to be very valuable, but it cannot be sold, and it cannot be taken out to show off, so in my eyes, it is a worthless piece of junk."

"Unless I steal it out and sell it another day, sell it for ten million or so..."

However, Ma Lan thought again, "No! This thing was given to Xiao Changkun by Ye Chen. If I steal it and sell it, it doesn't matter if Xiao Changkun is angry, but if Ye Chen is angry, that would be difficult..."

Thinking of this, Ma Lan could only give up the idea of the Yuan blue and white dragon-pattern elephant-ear vases.

At this time, Hong Wu continued to read the gift list.

Qin Gang sent an emerald gemstone worth 50 million, and Wang Zhenggang sent a pink diamond of similar value.

These two were quite familiar and had a good relationship. During the last auto show, they both coincidentally gave Ye Chen a sports car, so this time they simply discussed in advance to send a piece of jewelry of great value together.

Although they were both jewelry and of similar value, the varieties were different, so they were not afraid of crashing.

At this time, Qin Aoxue and Wang Yunkai each held a gift box and displayed the gemstones inside.

The two gemstones, one green and one pink, refracted colorful colors under the light, and the quality was indeed very perfect.

Ma Lan was very interested in these two gemstones, and her eyes even fell into them.

She couldn't help but think of the jade bracelet that Qin Gang gave Ye Chen before.

That bracelet was worth at least several million. Ye Chen gave it to Xiao Churan, and later Ma Lan stole it and wore it, and then took it as her own. As a result, it was broken in the accident where Qian Hongyan set her up. This has always been a pain in Ma Lan's heart that she doesn't want to recall.

Moreover, since then, Ma Lan hasn't had any decent jewelry.

Now seeing these two crystal-clear and perfect gemstones, she suddenly had ideas again, wishing she could take both gemstones to make a necklace and wear it on her neck to show off.

However, she only dared to think about such things. If Ye Chen didn't say he would give it to her, she would never dare to steal or ask for it.

After displaying the gemstones, Hong Wu continued to read, "Mr. Li Tailai, presents Master Ye with an EC145 helicopter produced by Eurocopter!"

As soon as this was said, the whole audience was deeply shocked again!

Just now Song Lao had just finished giving a yacht, and Li Tailai gave a helicopter...

Xiao Churan was also speechless with shock. Receiving gifts until now, she was already a little scared.

She was scared because these gifts were too precious!

So precious that even those people in the upper class would not give such precious gifts at all.

So far, all the gifts mentioned were worth tens of millions or even higher. Any one of them taken out was a treasure of great value, but these people all brought them to give to Ye Chen, which made Xiao Churan feel incomparably magical.

Li Tailai said at this time, "Master Ye, I heard that you don't often leave Jin Ling. Haicheng is actually not too far from Jin Ling. It might take four or five hours by car, but if you take a helicopter, you can get there in two hours, so I wanted to give you a helicopter. If you have any short or medium-distance commuting needs, you can take a helicopter directly, which is much faster than taking a car."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, "Mr. Li is very thoughtful."

In fact, for Ye Chen now, hot spring villas, private yachts, and private helicopters have no attraction to him.

When he was very young, the Ye family owned almost all types of civilian transportation.

Luxury cars worth millions or tens of millions were not worth mentioning. The Ye family alone had several private jets worth hundreds of millions or even billions.

Villas and manors worth over 100 million are countless all over the world.

Luxury yachts go without saying.

In fact, when Ye Chen's father was young, he once bought a luxury cruise ship, the kind that could carry hundreds of people and could carry a helicopter for a round-the-world trip.

When Ye Changying bought the luxury cruise ship, it was entirely to coax his wife to be happy.

Although Ye Chen's mother was also a descendant of Yan and Huang, she was a foreign Chinese, her whole family was on the other side of the ocean, and she grew up in the West, very advocating outdoor travel.

To satisfy his wife's need to visit family and travel, Ye Changying spent a huge amount of money to buy that luxury cruise ship and promised her that he would take two months every year to accompany her on the cruise ship to visit relatives on the other side of the ocean, traveling halfway across the earth along the way, and could also travel along the way.

From the age of three, Ye Chen followed his parents on a luxury cruise ship to visit his grandmother's house every year until his parents had an accident at the age of eight.

Others hope to travel around the world before they die, while Ye Chen has traveled around once a year since he was three.

In those years, Ye Chen lived a luxurious life every day that many people could not enjoy in their lifetime, so that he personally had no pursuit of material things long ago.

Seeing so many gifts sent out, Ye Chen's expression was still very indifferent, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They knew that these gifts didn't seem to have reached Ye Chen's heart.

Afterwards, Wei Liang gave Ye Chen a Guan Yunchang carved from jade. In his words, Guan Yunchang is the Martial God of Wealth, who can protect Ye Chen's peace and wealth.

Ye Chen thanked him with a smile and accepted it, his heart still as calm as an ancient well.

Finally, it was Hong Wu's turn. He took out an exquisitely packaged gift box, handed it to Ye Chen, and said earnestly, "Master Ye, this is a little token of my appreciation."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Hong Wu, you read the gift list for so many people, why don't you talk about what your own gift is?"

Hong Wu said somewhat embarrassedly, "This... Hong Wu is afraid that the gift I sent will not satisfy Master Ye and make people laugh."

Ye Chen shook his head, "No matter what you send, I am very grateful, how could I not be satisfied."

Hong Wu nodded and said earnestly, "Master Ye, what I am giving you is a villa near the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan..." ===== CHAPTER 997 =====
