Beijing 4.0 - Pearl Factory-

Another "Factory" Visit... this time THE PEARL FACTORY. I actually enjoy the explanation part but not the SALES part. There are 2types of Pearl, Salt-water-pearl & fresh-water-pearl... from these two types, there are distinquish into natural pearl & cultured pearls. Natural pearls are very rare!
This factory only produced fresh-water-pearls. According to the Salesgirls, fresh-water-pearls are much harder than salt-water-pearls because salt-water-pearl is mostly cultured by inserting a hollow sphere into osyter thus SW-pearls has a hollow center. But salt-water-pearl are much more expensive because of its beauty! Not sure to trust this people or not?
Anyway... the pearls that this factory produce was of Tri-angular shape. A special kinda freshwater-oyster found by An Emperor when he notice something shinny on the lake bottom. "not sure if its true or not as it was told by Guide-Li & the Salesgirl"... better be careful especially when people try to sell you things. when they oyster was opened up, there were 28 pearls inside it, so one for 27 of us... Looks like the Spawn in Aliens Movies. I thought, only one can be found in each oyster but 27! That's define how much the value of pearl has dropped over the years due to cultured technology..
The Salesgirls are smart, they only tried convicned women because they know women rather die than be ugly. Beside necklace, bracelet & other jewelry, there were also this PEARL CREAM which is supposedly good for the skins. Mrs. Lai got angry again because I refuse to be conned by Those Pearl-Girls.
I simply do not believe SKII is not better than This PEARL-CREAM...

From Western point of View, SKII is scientifically proven...

and from Chinese point of View, There are plenty FAKE SKII in China market but no FAKE PEARL-CREAM!
