Chapter 45: Heinous Baller 3

“What is the requirement?” Yang Yuxi asked. “This rare longjing tea requires that the people who plucked the tea leaves must be female,” Zhang Xiaoyu said. Yang Yuxi rolled her eyes. What kind of requirement is that? They were many females in the world and most of the personnel who plucked tea leaves were women. She was about to refute when Zhang Xiaoyu continued. “The female personnel must be young ladies in love and they have to pluck the tea leaves using their lips.”

“This requirement seems perverted,” Yang Yuxi muttered to herself. “I suppose given your influence, it should be easy to find young ladies in love to pluck the tea leaves.”

“It’s not difficult. But this is merely the basic requirement. The young ladies in love have to be refreshing and beautiful, gentle and kind. They have to be virgins and this must be their first time falling in love. Before they pluck the tea leaves, they have to stay in the mountains for three months and to bathe with clear water and to fast everyday…” Zhang Xiaoyu listed more then ten requirements of the ladies, leaving Yang Yuxi dumbstruck.

“They are merely plucking tea leaves. What has it to do with being refreshing, beautiful, gentle and kind?” Yang Yuxi felt perplexed. “Simply put, beautiful ladies exude pure auras. The tea leaves they plucked are of better quality. Also, one has to be gentle and kind. If one has a nasty temper, it might have a bad impact on the tea…”

“This is such a perverted requirement! How many tea leaves can you produce in a year?” Yang Yuxi asked. “If the harvest is good, we have less than two kilograms, if not we will have about one kilogram of tea leaves,” Zhang Xiaoyu replied.

“If the harvest is good, you will have less than two kilograms, when the harvest is not good, you will only have one kilogram. You invest 200 million yuan every year, but you only get this small amount of tea leaves?” Yang Yuxi widened her eyes in shock. She did not expect that they could only produce such a small amount of tea leaves. “We invested more than 300 million yuan.” Zhang Xiaoyu smiled. “Why is it 300 million?” Yang Yuxi was dazed. “Every year we have to hire 1000 young ladies for training and less than 10 people make the mark. The expenses and salary of the staff amount to a significant sum.” Zhang Xiaoyu paused before continuing, “Miss Yang, it is very reasonable for 25 grams of the tea to cost 4,500,000 yuan. Besides, we had a good harvest last year. If it is according to the year before last year, the price would be much higher. Besides, young master has been very nice to you. He only required that you pay the production price, instead of the market price.”

“What is the market price?” Yang Yuxi asked. After listening to Zhang Xiaoyu’s explanation, Yang Yuxi could not help but feel dizzy. He was indeed a baller to invest a few hundred million yuan per year, only to harvest a few kilograms of tea. Gold could not be compared to such an astonishing price. “This tea is for young master’s personal use. He gives a small amount to others and he never sells on the market. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate the market price. But someone once quoted 80 million yuan to buy 50 grams of this tea, but young master refused.” Yang Yuxi felt like spitting blood. 50 grams of the tea cost 80 million yuan! She had to admit that she could not understand the baller world. It was beyond understanding.

“Hey, I didn’t do anything to your tea.” Initially, Yang Yuxi was confused by the different prices on the quotation and hence she did not think about it seriously. Now that she thought about it, she suddenly realized that she did not throw his tea or do anything to it.

“In the living room, you hit the paper container that contained the tea leaves onto the floor,” Ye Ming said. “But the tea leaves did not spill out from the box.” Yang Yuxi tried to recall her memories, she seemed to have some recollections of it. “Indeed, but you broke two bottles of red wine and the aroma of red wine affected the quality of the tea.”
