These experts are indeed very professional.

After a series of appraisals, they can basically confirm that this Butterfly Diamond Necklace is indeed crafted during Catherine's era.

Moreover, for Russia at the time, such luxurious jewelry, even if not worn by the Queen, could only be possessed by the top nobility.

However, there is indeed information passed down from the time of Catherine the Great that the Empress had such a Butterfly Diamond Necklace.

So, it can be basically confirmed that this Butterfly Diamond Necklace, just as Chen Yiyang said, once belonged to Catherine and is a national treasure-level jewel of Russia.

"Where did you find such a thing?" After communicating with the experts, Gena looked at Chen Yiyang seriously.

Last time, the Tsar Egg that Chen Yiyang brought was outrageous enough, but unexpectedly, the item found this time is even more precious.

How much stuff from their Russia ended up drifting to Huaxia over the years?

Of course, Chen Yiyang couldn't tell the plain truth, saying that the diamond necklace once worn by your Empress is in Huaxia, being played around by a bunch of actresses during filming.

Thus, Chen Yiyang started storytelling mode.

"This was left by a friend's grandmother, she supposedly was Russo-Chinese mixed ancestry, ancestors fled Russia to Huaxia.

Now her family has lost a lot of money in business, hearing that I know a lot of people in Russia, they took out this ancestral necklace for me to sell."

"Her grandmother's ancestors might have been legitimate Russian nobility, it's really a pity they couldn't return to Russia."

Hearing this story, Gena was filled with sorrow.

Nowadays, Russia no longer has nobility treating commoners as grey livestock.

Thus, Russians start missing the past nobility and even hope to become the new Russian nobility themselves.

After the civil war broke out in Russia, many Tsarist Russian nobles fled for their lives, carrying treasures all the way to Huaxia.

To this day, no one can count how many people fled here or how much royal Russian artifacts and jewelry they took.

So Chen Yiyang took out this item, paired with a story.

Enough to make this Butterfly Diamond Necklace become a treasure with a clear origin.

Enticing those wealthy people hoping to become new nobility to fork out large amounts of money to purchase this treasure.

"How much does the noble descendant intend to sell this diamond necklace for?" Gena was somewhat tempted.

He planned to buy this diamond necklace and then resell it.

He already had the story figured out.

At that time, he would say he met a kind woman during a business trip in Huaxia, who told Gena her ancestors were also Russians.

After chatting, Gena was surprised to find the woman was actually a descendant of the original Russian noble.

Hearing that Gena was also a Russian with noble blood, the woman generously took out the Butterfly Diamond Necklace and said it should return to Russia.

For treasure of this level, talking about money is really vulgar.

Gena already planned, at that time, not to sell but to give.

Whoever Gena believes is a true Russian noble, he will gift this Butterfly Diamond Necklace to.

As for how to make Gena recognize them, that's another topic.

Gena thought like this, Chen Yiyang thought even more so.

Simply selling it would be a pity and really hard to fetch a sky-high price.

So Chen Yiyang feigned difficulty and said, "I originally planned on coming to Russia to sell it. But now Russia is at war, everyone is short on money, selling it seems too hurtful to my Russian friends' feelings.

How about this, I can gift you the Butterfly Diamond Necklace, but you also have to gift me something so our friendship can grow stronger."

After Chen Yiyang finished speaking, Gena was in distress.

Damn it, just tell the price!

If you don't mention the price, how can I know what value of gift would be suitable?

The interests binding Gena and Chen Yiyang now are quite significant.

Obviously, they wouldn't let anything sordid arise over this diamond necklace.

So Gena said he still needs to think about what gift to give Chen Yiyang and temporarily let the Butterfly Diamond Necklace stay with Chen Yiyang.

Two days later.

Chen Yiyang was thoroughly exhausted.

Wang Xingxing's side had also sent over the first-generation mechanical dogs from Yushu Technology.

The bald middle-aged man who previously negotiated with Chen Yiyang tested the mechanical dogs and immediately gave a thumbs-up.

"Very good stuff."

"How many units do you plan to buy?" asked Chen Yiyang.

"This, afraid we'll need to wait a day for the results," the bald middle-aged man replied.

Why wait a day?

Chen Yiyang didn't understand.

But the next day he did understand.

Because the next day Russia hosted a small military technology exhibition. The main purpose was to showcase some of Russia's high-tech weapons, in response to Ukraine's recent video release of mechanical dogs.

During this exhibition, the Russian military displayed a secret military-developed mechanical dog in front of the president, stating this mechanical dog is no inferior to Europe's high-tech mechanical dogs.

More importantly, it's Russian-made.

Chen Yiyang was watching the live broadcast of the exhibition at Gena's house then, almost spitting out the water in his mouth seeing this scene.

At least old Europe bought Yushu Technology's mechanical dogs, applied a layer of anti-infrared paint before using them.

The Russian military directly draped a black coat over Yushu Technology's mechanical dogs and presented them!

The mechanical dog images showcased at the Russian weapon exhibition.

First-generation mechanical dog images from Yushu Technology.

"Viewed positively, aren't we Russians more logical and capable than the Europeans? At least we covered Yushu Technology's logo."

Gena on the side was indifferent.

If the mechanical dogs were meant for the battlefield, he'd definitely criticize them.

But if they're just for display, then it doesn't matter.

After the exhibition ended, the bald middle-aged man came to find Chen Yiyang again.

"We roughly need several thousand of such mechanical dogs."

"Why so many?" asked Chen Yiyang curiously.

He previously suspected that after the bald one showcased, he'd return the goods, freeloading on Chen Yiyang's stuff.

"We need to make the public believe we actually equipped such high-tech weapons," said the bald man.

"Then why not make Europe's military believe it too?"

"Europe's military just has some brain issues, they aren't blind."

Alright then.

Chen Yiyang had nothing to say.

Although the Russians here are stingier compared to Europe.

But the bald man's order successfully helped Yushu clear out first-generation mechanical dog inventory.

Originally, these mechanical dogs couldn't sell.

Now someone helped solve the issue, it's very good.

"If Yushu Technology launches a new model mechanical dog next time, contact us first," the bald middle-aged man instructed while hugging Chen Yiyang's arm.

"Understood, for our friendship."

"For our friendship."
