Chapter 996
Ma Lan has two sets of 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-grade caviar skincare products Ye Chen sent her had a purchase price of nearly 400,000, and could be sold 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 backpack worth over 100,000, not only can Ma Lan sell it for 100,000, but carrying it out every day can also make her enjoy the envious, jealous, and hateful eyes of others, allowing her to feel the weight of more than 100,000 while also feeling very prestigious.
This meets her second standard, face.
At this time, Ma Lan looked at the Yuan blue and white and thought with disinterest, "If a thing cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be carried out to show off to others, then what is the value of this thing?"
"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 trash."
"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 to handle..."
Thinking of this, Ma Lan could only give up the idea of this pair of Yuan blue and white dragon-pattern elephant-ear vases.
At this time, Hong Wu continued to read the gift list.
Qin Gang sent a grandmother emerald worth 50 million, and Wang Zhenggang sent a pink diamond worth about the same.
These two were quite familiar and had a good relationship. Last time at the auto show, they both sent Ye Chen a sports car, so this time they simply discussed in advance and sent a piece of priceless jewelry together.
Although they were both jewelry and had similar values, the varieties were different, so there was no fear of collision.
At this time, Qin Aoxue and Wang Yunkai each held a gift box and displayed the gemstones inside.
One green and one pink, the two gemstones refracted colorful colors under the light, and the quality was indeed very perfect.
Ma Lan was very interested in these two gemstones, and her eyeballs even fell into them.
She couldn't help but think of the jade bracelet Qin Gang sent 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 after wearing it, she took it as her own, but it was broken in the accident where Qian Hongyan set her up. This has always been a pain deep in Ma Lan's heart that she doesn't want to recall.
Moreover, since then, Ma Lan hasn't had any jewelry that she can take out.
Now seeing these two crystal-clear and perfect gemstones, she suddenly had ideas again, wishing she could make a necklace with both gemstones 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 showing the gemstones, Hong Wu continued to read, "Mr. Li Tailai, sends Master Ye an EC145 helicopter produced by the European Helicopter Company!"
As soon as this was said, the whole audience was deeply shocked again!
Just now Old Master Song had just finished sending a yacht, and Li Tailai sent a helicopter again...
Xiao Churan was also too shocked to speak. Receiving gifts until now, she was already a bit scared.
Scared, because these gifts were too valuable!
So valuable that even those people in high society would not send such valuable 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 priceless treasure, but these people all brought them to send 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 arrive in two hours, so I thought of sending 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, you are too kind."
In fact, for Ye Chen now, whether it is a hot spring villa, a private yacht, or a private helicopter, these have no attraction to him.
When he was very young, the Ye family owned almost all kinds of civilian transportation.
Luxury cars worth millions or tens of millions were not worth mentioning at all. The Ye family alone had several private jets worth hundreds of millions or even billions.
Villas and manors worth over 100 million were countless all over the world.
Not to mention luxury yachts.
In fact, when Ye Chen's father was young, he once bought a luxury cruise ship, the kind of luxury cruise ship that could carry hundreds of people and could carry a helicopter for a world tour.
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, and her entire family was on the other side of the ocean. Moreover, she grew up in the West since she was a child and advocated outdoor travel very much.
In order to satisfy his wife's needs to visit her family and travel, Ye Changying spent a huge sum 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 her family on the other side of the ocean, traveling through half the earth along the way, and could also take a trip by 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 every year since he was three.
In those few years, Ye Chen lived a luxurious life that many people could not enjoy in their lifetime, so 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 in their hearts. 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 God of Wealth, who can bless Ye Chen's peace and wealth.
Ye Chen smiled and thanked him for accepting 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 lists 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 Master Ye will not be satisfied with what I sent, and it will be a laughing stock."
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 sent you is a villa located near the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan..."
