Chapter 438 - The Allure of Handbags
Chapter 438 The Allure of Handbags
At that moment, the director suddenly turned to Ye Lingchen and said, “God Ye, someone posted a banner in the live broadcast saying that they’d like to buy the python’s skin.”
“Oh? They want to buy the python’s skin?”
Ye Lingchen immediately guessed the other party’s intention. “At what price?”
“Five million!” the director said.
“Hiss!”
Everyone inhaled sharply again. They thought that the meat of the python was already worth a lot of money, but it came as a complete shock that some people would buy the snakeskin at a high price. It was too ruthless. Were those rich guys making light of money?
However, Ye Lingchen frowned. “Not the slightest sincerity. I’m not selling!”
“The other party said that the price can be negotiated. He asks you to name your price.” The director looked at the screen and said to Ye Lingchen.
“I won’t sell it at any price!” Ye Lingchen shook his head and answered bluntly. He had his own plans for it.
The meat of that giant python was valuable, but its skin was also equally as valuable!
Its skin could be used to make bags!
It must be borne in mind that bags were a girl’s fatal attraction. The saying that ‘handbags’ could cure all diseases clearly revealed the fairer sex’s obsession toward bags.
Expensive bags, such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton, could sell for tens of thousands! Hermès could sell upwards of 100,000 and most people were not able to buy it!
The craze was all too evident and it had already become a status symbol.
Snakeskin was a very good material for making bags. Needless to say, the reputation and quality of snakeskin bags spoke for itself, and the result of using that giant python’s skin to make a bag was truly unimaginable!
If the business was managed properly, it could definitely become a hit!
Ye Lingchen sat on the tortoise’s back and his gaze drifted away slowly. It was all up to whoever that could seize the opportunity.
Ring-ding-ding!
The next second, Ye Lingchen’s mobile phone rang and he looked at the caller ID. The corner of his mouth curled up in a smile. It was Vatti’s chief designer, Jia Di.
“Grandmaster Jia, I didn’t expect you to watch Life’s Struggles too.”
“Grandmaster Ye, the show you participated in is so popular that it’s hard not to follow it,” Jia Di’s voice came from the phone. In fact, he initially only saw the news, and as the chief designer, he was more conscious of things such as python skin, but it never crossed his mind that the protagonist would be Grandmaster Ye.
Jia Di paused and continued, “Grandmaster Ye, I have a request. Can you reserve this giant python’s skin for Vatti?”
Ye Lingchen formed a smile at the corner of his mouth. “Grandmaster Jia, are you ready to take up the advice I gave you last time?”
“Mm!”
Jia Di responded solemnly. “Since Grandmaster Ye has confidence in Vatti, we also have confidence in Grandmaster Ye!”
“In that case, the skin of this giant python will certainly be reserved for Vatti.” Ye Lingchen smiled. “Come to my place when I’m back. I have something for you. Rest assured, your choice is always correct!”
“Okay!”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lingchen saw that both Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying were looking at him. He could not resist asking, “Do any of you want a bag?”
“You want to give us a bag?” Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying’s eyes lit up. Bag or not, it was not the main point. The key was that they loved whatever Ye Lingchen gave to them.
“The skin of this python is valuable because it can be used to make bags,” Ye Lingchen continued. “The call just now was from Vatti. I’m prepared to give them the skin of this python, and when the time comes, it won’t be a problem to give you a bag.”
“Wow, really?” Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying were looking forward to it.
“Really.” Ye Lingchen nodded. In fact, his primary purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to advertise. “This python is very extraordinary. Any bag made from its skin will be water-proof. The quality is very good as well, and it’s difficult to leave scratches on it. Keeping it for a hundred years won’t even be a problem. Moreover, it wouldn’t burn too quickly in the case of a fire. It also has the function of heat insulation, which translates to being warm in winter and cool in summer.”
“Wow, wow, wow! Lingchen, you’re amazing! I love you to death!” Zhao Liangying immediately screamed excitedly.
“Vatti? Looking forward to their design.” Hu Yue’er’s face flushed with excitement and anticipation.
Girls had zero resistance to bags.
Their conversation was naturally picked up by the live broadcast and the viewers were all sent into a frenzy.
[Ah, I almost forgot. Snakeskin can be made into bags!]
[Where do they sell this kind of bag? I want to buy it! I must buy it! I really envy Baby Ying and Hu Yue’er! I want it too!]
[A bag made from this giant python’s skin would truly be unique! No one else can imitate it! You’ll make an impression if you go out with it.]
[If that’s what God Ye says, then the bag can be considered a treasure!]
[God Ye gave it to Vatti. Ah, ah, ah! I’m going to contact Vatti as soon as possible and book one!]
[Such good material! I hope Vatti will not waste it. They must design it well.]
…
He Jia, Huang Lei, and the others pursed their lips. As married men, they immediately noticed how lethal such handbags were. They wanted to speak to Ye Lingchen and ask to buy one of those bags, but at the same time, they felt a bit embarrassed too.
After a while, the Mushroom Hut appeared in their line of sight. Old Tortoise had to stay outside because it was too big, and Ye Lingchen also had to leave the giant python’s body outside.
“It’s noon. Time to prepare lunch.”
Ye Lingchen said faintly before taking out the cleaver from the kitchen. He walked to the side of the python and nonchalantly cut off a part of the meat.
“God Ye, why is this giant python’s meat so soft?” Wei Daxun could not help but wonder after seeing how relaxed Ye Lingchen was.
“Soft? Why don’t you give it a try?” Ye Lingchen smiled and passed the cleaver to him.
Wei Daxun began cutting along the place where Ye Lingchen had started, but all he felt was a taut resistance as if he was cutting the wood. It was extremely hard.
“This… What’s going on? God Ye, I think your strength is a bit too powerful is it not?” Wei Daxun was overcome with shock.
“Daxun, haven’t you heard of ‘practice makes perfect’? It’s not like you haven’t seen God Ye’s cooking skills before. What’s all the fuss about his knife skills.” Huang Lei laughed aloud, but in fact, he was deeply impressed with Ye Lingchen’s incredible knife skills.
“Lingchen, do we really have to eat this? I’ve never eaten snake meat ever since I was a child. I’m afraid to eat it.” Zhao Liangying was a little nervous.
“I don’t dare to eat it either,” Hu Yue’er said.
“If you don’t dare to eat it, then just watch us.” Ye Lingchen smiled and started prepping the snake meat.
He took out a large plate, added various seasonings to it, and filled it with white wine. Then, he put in the sliced snake meat. The first step was to marinate, not with salt, but to remove the bacteria from the snake meat itself. At the same time, it made the snake meat tender and much easier for the flavor to permeate.
After half an hour, Ye Lingchen took out the snake meat and started cooking it…
