The bead that Yue Feng took out on his own initiative was the smallest and of the worst quality among the three Dong pearls.

But even so, the characteristics of this Dongzhu are still very different from those of saltwater pearls obtained from other channels.

Professor Wang carefully held the bead in his hand and looked at the details of the pearl carefully against the sunlight.

At first glance, look at its shape.
Second, look at it in detail.

Weigh it three times to feel its weight.

In less than ten minutes, I had a preliminary judgment in my mind.

Seeing the other party put the pearl back on the table, Jun asked with concern: “Professor Wang, is this the legendary Dongzhu?”

Wang Ruifeng nodded: “Yes!!
The river clams that produce Eastern pearls are mainly of the triangular fan clam species. This type of clam lives in freshwater rivers such as the Heijiang River and the Songjiang River. It is now extremely rare or even extinct.

Due to climatic reasons, the water temperature in these water veins is relatively low most of the time throughout the year, so when the clams breed the Eastern Pearls, their annual growth is very small. This results in an extremely long period of time for each Eastern Pearl to grow from conception to maturity!
It is precisely because this Dongzhu grows slowly that it has completely different characteristics from other sea pearls.

The texture is extremely delicate and lustrous, the color is darker, and when viewed in the sunlight, there is a special pearlescent luster, and the density is far higher than other seawater pearls of the same size! !

I have been engaged in research in this area for many years, and I have visited the collection of the Capital Museum more than once, but this newly acquired Dongzhu is the first time I have seen it! !
The only drawback is that this pearl is a little small, not as big as a marble as recorded in history, but it is still quite rare! “

“Professor Wang, since this Dongzhu pearl is real, is it valuable? Is there a market price for reference?” Yue Feng couldn’t help but ask after hearing this.

Professor Wang smiled and said, “Since it is undoubtedly Dongzhu, it must have economic value.

This bead is slightly smaller than the hand-held court beads I saw in the museum, but the difference is not too big. It is a good treasure.

As for the price, I don’t dare to make an estimate as there are no samples for reference.

I never thought that I, Wang Ruifeng, would be able to see the colorful pearls of the East China Sea in my lifetime. This trip has made me a lot of money! !
Excuse me, could you tell me where you got these pearls?
According to historical records, due to overfishing of a particular species of pearl-producing river clams, these pearls were already extremely rare in the Qing Dynasty. If they were occasionally obtained, they were often too small to be of much use.

When Yue Feng heard the professor’s question, he did not open his mouth immediately, but turned his head to look at Brother Jun.

Brother Jun smiled slightly: “Professor Wang is not an outsider, there is no need to be too taboo about this source!”

After getting Jun Ge’s affirmation, Yue Feng said slowly: “We got this Dongzhu by accident yesterday.

My brother and I were training peregrine falcons to drive away birds at the airport. As a result, the peregrine falcon in training accidentally lost control and chased migrating swans in the sky. We were lucky enough to actually shoot one down.

My brother and I had never eaten swan meat before, so we brought it back, plucked the feathers and prepared it, planning to eat it in the evening.

This pearl was found when cleaning the swan’s crop!
My family has been training eagles and hunting for generations, and my grandfather has heard that a swan’s crop contains a pearl, which is a rare treasure, so I asked Brother Jun to ask around!”

When Professor Wang heard Yue Feng say that pearls were taken from the swan’s crop, he became even more excited.

“Yes, yes, yes! This Dongzhu was obtained from the crop of a swan. There is no problem with the source! When the swans live in their breeding grounds, they will dive to eat the mullets on the bottom of the water. If there are pearls in the mullets, they will be swallowed into their stomachs.

The material of Dongzhu is dense and cannot be digested in the crop. Instead, it will increase its pearlescent quality through fine grinding in the sand stomach.

There are many records in history books about training Saker Falcons to hunt swans and obtain Eastern Pearls!
Now all the characteristics match up, and the source also matches, there is no doubt anymore!

I have a humble request. Can you let me take a few photos of this bead for my paper later?” Wang Ruifeng nodded repeatedly and said excitedly.

“Of course, just a few photos, feel free to take them!!” Yue Feng agreed without hesitation.

I’m just taking photos, I don’t want the real thing, so I’m returning the favor.

“Okay, okay, this trip was not in vain, thank you!!!”

Professor Wang thanked them very solemnly, which made Yue Feng and Xiao Tao feel a little uncomfortable.

In the following time, Professor Wang used the film camera he brought to take pictures of the oriental pearl from different angles. He stayed in the guesthouse that night. The next morning, after saying goodbye to the Yuefeng brothers, he left in Jun brother’s car.

With the approval of experts, the identity of this Dongzhu pearl has been confirmed. What needs to be considered next is what price it can be sold for.

Yue Feng wanted to talk to Jun Ge in detail, but with Professor Wang nearby, he never got the right opportunity. It was not until Jun Ge sent Professor Wang away and returned to the base that the three brothers closed the door and conspired.

Ye Jianjun sat on a chair in the room and said softly: “Xiaofeng, this pearl is definitely Dongzhu, and I want to hear your thoughts next!

If Professor Wang’s paper is successfully published in an academic journal, its value will increase dramatically.

If you can wait, we can sell this Dongzhu later. I am absolutely sure that I can sell it at a high price! If you two brothers can’t wait that long and want to sell it as soon as possible, tell me your desired price, or you can sell it to me first and buy it out in one go!”

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao had discussed this over and over before going to bed last night. If Jun wanted to buy this inferior Dongzhu, they would sell it to him without hesitation. After all, they already had two more with better quality and larger size!

As for how much money others made after buying the products and operating them through his own efforts, Yue Feng was not jealous.

Connections, resources, and credibility endorsements are all hidden costs. If Yue Feng and the others didn’t know Brother Jun, they wouldn’t even be qualified to sit at the table. They must be aware of this.

After listening to Jun’s choice, Yue Feng looked him in the eye and said, “Xiao Tao and I know our own worth. Since Professor Wang has determined the authenticity of this pearl and given his evaluation, we will not keep it!
It takes too long and we can’t wait. We have a lot of money to spend at home. Otherwise, Brother Jun, can you just give us a price?
That’s about it. You can take this bead. We bought it all at once. No matter how much it sells for later, we won’t be jealous!”

“This……”

Hearing Yue Feng’s reply, Ye Jianjun was slightly stunned.

On the way back, he was still thinking in his heart. At present, Yue Feng was not short of money. Ye Jianjun guessed that there was a high probability that Yue Feng would choose to cooperate and share dividends.

He didn’t expect Yue Feng to be so straightforward and actually choose to buy it out in one go, which surprised him a little.

“Not waiting for the dividends after selling?” Brother Jun asked again.

“No need to wait, this Dongzhu is valuable only in your hands, it can’t be sold at a high price in our hands!

This is not the first time we have worked together. We trust people and we only take the money we deserve!”

“If that’s what you mean, I’ll give you 15,000 for this pearl, all at once! If you can get it again later, I’ll make a comprehensive decision based on its appearance and size, and the price can be discussed and adjusted!”

“Don’t ask for 15,000, just take 20,000 beads and leave!! If you get more beads later, I will give them to you exclusively!!”

After listening to the other party’s offer, Yue Feng added a price.

“Twenty thousand is twenty thousand! I want this Dongzhu!” Brother Jun agreed without hesitation.

“Alright! This small bead is more than what I earned from hunting the tiger last time!

We two brothers are content! You can take this bead first, and bring it back when you have money! ! “Yue Feng took out the Dongzhu and placed it in front of Ye Jianjun.

“I’ll bring the money tomorrow!”

Ye Jianjun was also afraid of complications, so he did not ask Yue Feng for payment in exchange for goods. Seeing that Yue Feng trusted him, he simply picked up the beads and examined them for a few seconds to confirm that they were correct. Then he wrapped them in toilet paper and stuffed them into his clothes pocket.

After the deal was done, Yue Feng continued to ask, “Since this bead is so valuable, Xiao Tao and I are thinking of going back and bringing our big black eagle to see if we can catch a few more migrating swans!
Although this big Puya caught a swan, it was caught accidentally during training and lost control, so its controllability is questionable. If it really wants to catch swans, the risk of losing the eagle is too high. It is better to use the big black eagle and the little white spear at home to be safe!
At our airport, what are the plans for subsequent falconer training? Can it be arranged in time? “

Jun replied: “At the airport, the assessment report has been submitted. Once it is approved by the higher authorities, we can start promoting the training of special bird-scaring team falconers!
If you plan to go back to get the eagle in the next few days, I will arrange a car for you to go back, but you can’t leave before completing the initial training of the bird-scaring team. You have to help me keep an eye on it!
The entire time span should be about the same as the month we discussed before!”

“Okay! When the money arrives tomorrow, we two brothers will go back to deliver the money and bring our main battle falcon back with us!”

“Okay, I’ll arrange a car for you, and the money will be available tomorrow morning!”

……

It is easy to deal with partners who have a certain emotional foundation.

The next morning, Brother Jun took the money and delivered it to Yue Feng and the others on time. He also arranged a car to take them home. He drove the two brothers, who had been away from home for more than ten days, all the way back to Xing’an Village near dusk.

Around four o’clock in the afternoon, brothers Yue Feng and Xiao Tao took a car back to the village where they grew up. Under the brothers’ instructions, the car made many turns and finally stopped at the gate of Yue Feng’s home.

When the roar of the car was heard, the four dogs in the yard started to make noises before the people got out of the car.

Here, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao got out of the car, and their mother Meng Yulan, who was alone at home, ran out from the yard to greet them.

“mom!”

“Auntie!”

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao were the first to call for help.

“Didn’t we agree to stay for a month? Why did you come back halfway? Did something go wrong with the plan?” Meng Yulan was worried that her son would suffer a loss outside, so she asked with concern. (End of this chapter)
