Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 39 - 36 How to Identify_1

Lu Yue glanced at the others, and then said to Feng Yi, “Just point them out with your finger.”

Feng Yi pointed out the real snake leather parts on these three items and then said, “There are two spring designs that are a bit more complex. Although the ones hanging here all use Medusa Generation 7 leather, the rest of the stock might not. If all the items are of this complex style, I’ll have to charge more.”

The few others in the office were checking a booklet in their hands, which recorded the locations of genuine snake leather parts found during the company’s inspections.

Indeed, not a single one was wrong!

But before they could express their amazement, they heard Feng Yi mention “raising the price,” a sensitive term.

The others looked toward Lu Yue. They had come this time just to see if Feng Yi was reliable and could truly identify genuine leather. Discussing the price was Lu Yue’s remit. However, the precondition was that the price had to fall within their acceptable range.

Feng Yi said, “You give me an offer, and if I can accept it, we’ll discuss the rest.”

Lu Yue was about to speak when Feng Yi added, “Brother Lu, you know that even catching a mouse costs me over ten thousand.”

The others in the room twitched at these words; Lu Yue had indeed mentioned this to them, which was the source of their current dilemma. Feng Yi seemed to truly have the skills, and if the price offered was too low, he could simply walk away—he’d earn more catching mice than identifying leather.

After thinking it over, Lu Yue said, “The first batch of fifty thousand pieces, ten million—that’s what we decided on after discussion, and I think it’s quite reasonable.”

Feng Yi blinked, “Twenty-five million, that averages out to 500 per piece…”

Before Feng Yi could finish, Lu Yue interrupted, “Hey, that’s a bit unfair, huh? You can’t calculate it like that, we agreed on a per-batch charge. Let me break it down for you…”

The others, hearing the price, also became restless, trying to persuade him. They went from debating large and small pieces, long and short styles, to the benefits of successful cooperation—why not a win-win situation for everyone, done in harmony and joy? How could the price suddenly spike so high?

While the group was buzzing with discussion, Feng Yi suddenly said, “Twenty million, and I’ll have the fifty thousand pieces authenticated for you within three days!”

The room fell silent.

Everyone, including Lu Yue, regardless of what they had been thinking or saying moments before, turned their gaze to Feng Yi.

Authenticated within three days?

That was no small temptation!

After all, this batch of goods had already been delayed for a while because of an incident. How much longer could they hold off selling them, continue delaying?

Even the best designs lose their value once they’re out of season!

Luckily, this year’s temperatures are slightly lower than the same period last year, giving them some extra time with this cool breeze. But at times like these, time is money, and one day earlier means profit!

If they could settle the first batch of goods within three days, twenty million, they could accept that.

“With this speed, can you finish the appraisal within three days? You’re not just bluffing us, are you?” Lu Yue found it hard to believe.

“Once I’m familiar with the materials, I’ll recognize them quickly. The speed of appraisal will definitely get faster later on. If not, I’ll work overtime. I’m sure to appraise all fifty thousand items within three days! Wrong one, compensate ten! Late one, compensate ten! Of course, that’s if you haven’t tampered with anything,” Feng Yi said.

“Hey! Who do you think you’re looking down on? With the big name of Qianli Group, who would stoop to such low tactics? It’s our own reputation at stake!” Lu Yue was almost amused by anger, but Feng Yi’s words did stir his interest, his mind quickly weighing the pros and cons.

For a moment, the room fell silent again.

Feng Yi casually picked up his teacup to drink; he wasn’t in a hurry, the other party was.

Lu Yue was about to have a small meeting with the others when his phone rang.

After answering the call, Lu Yue said with a somewhat grim expression, “Wait a moment, someone is coming.”

Within two minutes, two people came in from outside.

One of them bore a resemblance to Lu Yue, lacking the intense sharpness that characterized Lu Yue. Probably because he had rushed over, his breathing was slightly unstable.

The visitor was Lu Yue’s father, Lu Qi, the vice president of Qianli Group. With his arrival, Lu Yue became “junior President Lu.”

Upon entering, Lu Qi glanced around, his gaze pausing briefly on Feng Yi before calling Lu Yue out to talk.

Lu Yue’s face was unpleasant to look at. He was in charge of this project and had said he would handle the new brand himself, but now the group was sending someone to intervene? Even if it was his own father, it wasn’t acceptable!

But Lu Yue quickly calmed down.

There had to be a reason for his father’s visit at this time.

As they stepped outside, before Lu Yue could ask, Lu Qi explained, “I don’t trust you, so I came to have a look.”

Lu Yue, feeling slighted, retorted, “This matter is almost resolved, trust me to handle things!”

Lu Qi responded, “I can’t trust you. Have you forgotten how recently you were deceived in a partnership?”

“… Alright, one thing at a time. That was because I misjudged someone and let my guard down, but this time it’s absolutely reliable! The one who recognized the wallet leather is that Feng Yi sitting in there. He’s a real talent. Getting him is definitely more cost-effective than others. We were just negotiating the price.”

Lu Yue briefly recounted the recent events, emphasizing that Feng Yi proved his ability to identify genuine and imitation snake leather in front of them and guaranteed to appraise everything within three days.

“Twenty million?” Lu Qi was surprised.

This price was indeed beyond his expectations, but the time advantage was too significant, crucial for breaking into the market.

However, twenty million…

“You didn’t try to bargain further?” Lu Qi inquired.

Lu Yue continued, “I couldn’t. He really has the skills. You know Gu Jun, yesterday he had him catch mice, thirty thousand for two, in less than a minute with his eyes closed! His judgment on snake leather is accurate, so the price couldn’t be lowered!”

Lu Qi’s face blanked for a moment, thinking to himself that perhaps he was truly getting old—it took him a good ten seconds to process Lu Yue’s words.

“From what you’re saying, his efficiency is indeed high. But to appraise fifty thousand items in three days, do you think it’s possible? That’s an average of sixteen to seventeen thousand a day. Even if he worked nonstop for a whole day without eating or drinking or resting, he’d have to appraise nearly 700 items per hour, about twelve items per minute, passing an item every five seconds. How can he appraise them?”
