Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 437 - 330: Walking Treasury, Outfit Worth 200 Million US Dollars
Chapter 437: Chapter 330: Walking Treasury, Outfit Worth 200 Million US Dollars
Weier Mina, with one-quarter of Britain’s royal blood, is known as the Jewel Queen, and many also like to call her Her Royal Highness.
At the age of thirty-four, Mina, controlling a quarter of the world’s jewelry trade, is a true powerhouse. She constantly exudes the etiquette of nobility and a formidable aura that commands respect.
Compared to Dong Xuner, the manager of Jinmao Mansion, the woman before him was older, but her features were more refined, and Dong Xuner’s mature charm was not worth mentioning in front of this princess’s noble and elegant bearing!
Weier Mina, elegantly lifting her teacup, wore a black V-neck gown, showcasing her alluring neck, her golden hair falling naturally in curls on her shoulders. Her eyes were as clear and bright as gemstones, her eyebrows, arched like willows, and her thin lips, delicate as rose petals.
Setting down her teacup, the blond woman, with a hint of a smile on her face, raised her eyebrow and said:
“This must be your Hua Country’s unique Spirit Rhyme Tea. I had the privilege of tasting it a few years ago when I visited Hua Country, and I have not forgotten its flavor. Unfortunately, this tea is so precious; even when I offered a high price to purchase it, I was not successful. I never thought that after several years, I would have the chance to taste this delicious tea again!”
...
Chu Mo also set down his teacup and glanced at the woman whose worth was no less than that of the leaders of the eight major families. He then nodded discretely to Danny, the butler standing beside him.
The middle-aged butler immediately understood and turned to leave. After a moment, Danny returned, carefully holding an antique porcelain bottle. At Chu Mo’s slight indication, when Danny placed the well-sealed porcelain bottle on the coffee table in front of them, Chu Mo smiled and said:
“Since Your Royal Highness has taken a liking to our Hua Country’s tea culture, I naturally cannot let you leave empty-handed. Here is one hundred grams of Spirit Rhyme Tea, please, Your Royal Highness, take it and enjoy!”
Chu Mo, seeing the bright excitement flash in the eyes of the blond woman opposite him, knew she truly enjoyed the tea and was not just being polite.
Weier Mina was well-versed in Hua Country culture. In some areas, her understanding of Hua Country even surpassed that of many locals.
She had a special affection for Hua Country’s tea culture and had collected many fine teas. However, Spirit Rhyme Tea, a top-tier rarity, was only distributed in hundreds of grams among the country’s most elite families, and these top families were not short on money. Naturally, they wouldn’t consider selling these tea leaves.
Therefore, even if Princess Mina offered a high price, she could still not buy the genuine Spirit Rhyme Tea.
Princess Mina did not stand on ceremony. After a light thank you, she ordered someone to collect the antique porcelain pot in front of her.
Seeing her pleasure, Chu Mo likewise slightly curved the corner of his mouth.
Hua Country has a tradition of reciprocal gift-giving. Since the other party had taken the initiative to give him a precious pen, and the pen in his pocket, which was encrusted with nearly two thousand diamonds, was valued at more than fourteen million RMB, Chu Mo felt it was only proper to give a gift of equal value.

The Spirit Rhyme Tea itself was worth a fortune, priced at over one hundred million RMB per kilogram. The one hundred grams of Spirit Rhyme Tea Chu Mo offered was worth over ten million RMB.
The antique small bottle used to hold the Spirit Rhyme Tea was also a rare Song dynasty antique, valued at many millions on its own.
The value of the antique porcelain bottle together with the tea inside exceeded twenty million, which was quite fitting as a reciprocal gift for the other party’s pen!
As for gifting only one hundred grams of tea leaves, it wasn’t that Chu Mo was stingy. He had only a little over two hundred grams of tea leaves, and each cup of tea required five to ten grams. Considering the tea they already drank, he had less than ninety grams of tea leaves left. Even if he wanted to be more generous, it was not possible.
Chu Mo himself was the one seeking a favor from the other party. By inviting this Jewel Queen to his Emperor’s Pavilion, he intended to bypass the control of the eight major Hua Country families and directly purchase from this world-famous jewel merchant!
The eight major families of Hua Country, though powerful, were confined to the borders of Hua Country. On a global scale, they did not have the means to make Weier Mina, with her British royal lineage and background, submit to them!
Chu Mo wanted to collaborate with her, and naturally, he had to act according to her preferences. Seeing the blond woman before him maintain a light smile, his eyes glanced over her diamond-studded, heart-shaped handbag, and with a smile, he said:
“Princess Mina truly lives up to the title of Jewel Queen. That handbag you carry must be the one certified by the Guinness World Records as the most expensive in the world!”
Weier Mina, with her flowing golden locks, showed no signs of modesty. Her Western character allowed her to naturally express her pride. She nodded slightly and candidly said:
“This heart-shaped bag is completely handcrafted, set with 4517 diamonds, including 4356 white diamonds, 105 yellow diamonds, and 56 pink diamonds, with a total weight of 381.92 carats. It was created by ten renowned craftsmen over 8800 hours, priced at 3.8 million US dollars.
Mr. Chu, if you happen to meet a lady to your liking one day, feel free to have a bespoke handbag crafted by me. I guarantee I will craft a handbag for Mr. Chu’s girlfriend that won’t pale in comparison to this one.”
A handbag worth 3.8 million US dollars!
Converted to more than 20 million RMB, just this handbag alone is enough to drive countless women crazy.
Of course, for the jewelry queen standing before him, with a net worth in the trillions, this was merely one of her most ordinary personal belongings. Not to mention the peacock brooch on her chest worth over a hundred million US dollars, even the shoes on her feet were a unique luxury pair.
The uppers of this princess’s shoes were studded with rubies to enhance their rich luster, along with 50-carat diamonds. The price of these shoes was 3 million US dollars.
As for the rings and earrings she wore on her hands and ears, their value was immeasurable!
A simple estimation suggested the jewelry queen’s attire might well be worth no less than two hundred million dollars.
US dollars!
This was a veritable walking treasury.
Compared to her, even Chu Mo’s luxurious brands paled significantly in grandeur.
Of course, only a jewelry queen like her could exhibit such formidable power.
After the pleasantries, Chu Mo planned to get down to business. He casually started:
“Princess Mina, some time ago at a jewelry exhibition in Capital City, I purchased a necklace known as ‘A Bloom’. This piece contained a total of 383.4 carats of gems, including transparent diamonds worth 35 million US dollars. Additionally, the necklace included 72 white nephrite jade pieces and 114 ice-green jades, valuing it at 200 million US dollars.
I feel that in this world, only Princess Mina is worthy of this necklace. Thus, if I could reach a comprehensive cooperation with Miss Mina, I would gift this world’s most expensive necklace to Princess Mina!”
Upon hearing this, the woman with gem-like blue eyes nodded slightly. Her voice was crisp and alluring as she said:
“To have Mr. Chu personally put this necklace on me, our cooperation must be reached. Mr. Chu, using a Hua Country old saying, ‘Let’s substitute tea for wine, and toast in advance to our pleasant cooperation!’ Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The two clinked cups. After a moment, the golden-haired lady with a look of anticipation spoke up:
“Chu! I’ve always had a small wish. If I could reach cooperation with Mr. Chu, I’d like him to give me a proper appreciation of the real local colors of Hua Country.
You know, during my previous visits, I was always led by the nose to see some splendid places, how should I say, I’ve always felt that it wasn’t the real Hua Country. I want… I want to experience something different, the true culture of Hua Country!
You know what I’m talking about!”
Chu Mo nodded with a smile, his voice hearty as he said:
“Miss Mina, rest assured, even if we can’t reach a cooperation, I will still fulfill this wish of yours.”
The golden-haired princess smiled seductively, suddenly turning her head to say:
“Chu, has anyone ever told you that you are a man of great masculine allure?”
As her words fell, she suddenly covered her mouth and giggled lightly, filling the entire hall with bell-like laughter!
