Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2149: Chapter:

Cooper tore off the red cloth, revealing the object underneath—a square glass box.

Inside the box was a beautifully crafted, captivatingly lustrous item—a Yixing teapot!

Around the teapot, several exquisite little Yixing tea cups were arranged.

Bai Xiaosheng took one look and immediately recognized it; it was unmistakably a masterpiece from the Li Ni Workshop!

The unique luster reflected off the teapot’s body was the effect only achieved by the clay material used exclusively by Li Ni.

The formula for that clay material has been patented by Li Ni Workshop both in Huaxia and internationally.

This quality of Yixing teapot—let alone others—their production isn’t even allowed to be sold even if they manage to make it.

Last year, several major imitation lawsuits won by Li Ni Workshop silenced the counterfeiters.

Because of their unique technology, Yixing pottery from the Li Ni Workshop is especially valuable, categorized into three levels: ’Masterpiece’, ’Ingenious Hand’, and ’Craftsmanship’.

Not every Yixing utensil from Li Ni Workshop can sell for millions of US dollars, only those at the ’Masterpiece’ level hold that price, with only about twenty sets produced annually.

’Craftsmanship’ and ’Ingenious Hand’ cater to the upper-middle market and are the most profitable products.

Interestingly, Cooper’s current set of Yixing teapot is a replica of the one that Bai Xiaosheng and Li Ni spent a long time making at the workshop, but the authentic original is now stored in Wei Xuelian’s grandfather Wei Tianhe’s study.

Even this crafted replica sold for a million dollars!

Bai Xiaosheng felt at ease after just one glance.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a surprised look.

Even they found the Yixing teapot set familiar and soon recalled it was their own product.

At the scene, as Cooper unveiled his mysterious gift, the guests buzzed with discussion, intrigued by this set being valued at a million dollars.

”What is this, an artifact from Huaxia, an antique perhaps, fetching such a high price?”

”It seems like it, maybe it’s something from many years ago!”

”Tsk tsk, artwork, relics, it looks truly beautiful!”

”Is this from Huaxia, suggesting Huaxia people might have an advantage in appreciation...”

Everyone had their own opinions.

”Ladies and gentlemen!” Cooper smiled and raised his voice when he saw the atmosphere heating up, ”I can tell everyone, this is not an antique! It is a ’Masterpiece’ level treasure from Huaxia’s Li Ni Workshop!”

One sentence, and the whole room was astonished.

”It’s not an antique, yet so expensive?”

”Modern product, at such a high cost?”

Some were puzzled.

However, many in the room were knowledgeable.

York, beside Lin Weiwei, was one of them.

At this moment, he looked incredulously at the teapot, first swallowing before exclaiming in surprise, ”Li Ni Workshop, a rising star in the luxury goods industry, has become renowned in recent years—they supply only to noble families! Their prices are exorbitant! It’s already become a luxury brand from Huaxia!”

Seeing someone knowledgeable, everyone looked to York.

Cooper also looked at him with approval, encouraging him to continue.

”Indeed, I’ve heard of them, my family even bought a batch of Li Ni Workshop’s utensils, the elders loved them!”

”My family has some too, bought at a high price!”

Several people chimed in.

Seeing himself the center of attention from Cooper and everyone, York became spirited, explaining to the crowd, ”Speaking of Li Ni Workshop’s products, they’re divided into three categories: ’Masterpiece’, ’Ingenious Hand’, ’Craftsmanship’, and even a single ’Craftsmanship’ piece is already jaw-droppingly expensive, ’Ingenious Hand’ needs a six-month pre-order, as for ’Masterpiece’...”

York teased, seeing the anticipation in everyone’s eyes, before delightfully saying, ”Only twenty sets are produced annually for the global market!”

The crowd was startled.

”Ladies and gentlemen, considering just over twenty sets are produced globally, you can imagine how rare and precious this item is. After all, even in our state, there are more than twenty wealthy families! Such hot commodities are truly priceless!” York clicked his tongue in admiration, ”Each piece is worth over a million dollars!”

As York spoke, his gaze at Cooper was filled with reverence, as if obtaining this Yixing teapot was a symbol of Cooper’s connections and strength!

The guests on site all exclaimed in surprise, looking at Cooper with the same reverence.

Basked in the limelight of all the guests, Cooper became even more smug.

”Wow, is it really that amazing...” Bai Yuefeng couldn’t help but glance at the Yixing teapot, murmuring with dissatisfaction.

But with such praise, this item must not be simple. In terms of appraisal, it must be exceedingly difficult.

Can Bai Xiaosheng handle it this time?

Bai Yuefeng became a bit uneasy.

Meanwhile, York flirted mischievously with Lin Weiwei, saying, ”Beauty, don’t forget our bet. If you lose, even if you plead with me, I wouldn’t mind helping out... within reason, of course.”

Lin Weiwei didn’t pay any attention to him.

Bai Xiaosheng walked over, standing in front of the table, examining the Yixing teapot set.

”No hurry, take your time, is five minutes enough, if not, I can...” Cooper graciously smiled at Bai Xiaosheng.

”This piece is indeed a rare treasure.” Bai Xiaosheng interrupted Cooper.

As it was a product of his own enterprise, Bai Xiaosheng once again leaned forward to look closely at the teapot, first praising it, ”The cups and saucers match, the form is full and robust, the craftsmanship superior, the detailing minute and delicate, appearing full of life...”
