Chapter 232: More gems are like glass beads
In order to surprise Lena, William specially found a gift box to put the gems up, and had dinner with his mother at dinner in the evening, and after the meal, William took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it to his mother and said, "Mom, I have a gift for you."
Looking at the gift handed over by her son, Lena was very happy, happily took the gift box, and said happily: "Your vision of picking gifts is really bad, the Patek Philippe watch I bought last time was too formal, and it is not suitable for wearing in daily life at all, this time such a small box, it will not be jewelry, don't buy things indiscriminately next time, if I don't like it and can't return it, it will be too wasteful."
"Haha, Mom, I promise you will like this gift," William, who is a two-life person, knows very well how lethal the sparkling gem is to a lady, so he is full of confidence when he speaks, "If you don't like the watch I gave you last time, you can leave it away, and tomorrow I will call the manager of Patek Philippe to bring the illustrated book to the castle and let you pick out a few watches, or ask their designer to come to your door and design seven different watches for you, so that you can wear them every day for a week."
"Talking nonsense, you can't waste money like this, that watch was bought for 3 million US dollars," Lena stared at William angrily, then covered her forehead and said: "God, I'm really crazy, if I would never have said this before, what kind of occasion would 3 million things have, I wore it a few times at home a few days ago and was reluctant to wear it, I'm afraid it will spoil the surface,
In the past, if I had a $3,000 watch, I would have been happy for a year, William, blame you and your mother for saying that you can make more than 2.2 million in 15 minutes, and you can make hundreds of millions in a day, I am so crazy that I want to buy Chelsea with the card you gave me."
"Well, buy Chelsea?" William looked at his mother in surprise, "That's a good idea, but Mom, you better look at the gift in your hand, since I said this, I won't hide it from you, Chelsea will be yours soon."
"What?" Lena exclaimed, stood up, stared at William and said excitedly, "Baby, say it again, repeat what you just said."
"Okay, Mom, don't get excited, I wanted to give Chelsea to you as your birthday present, in June I had some business dealings with the Grand Duke Devon, and I exchanged 11% of Chelsea's shares from him, and last month when I was in the Americas, I asked a friend to help buy all the shares of Chelsea, or it won't be long before Chelsea is our family."
William didn't dare to tell his mother how Chelsea came to be, for fear that she would have to say in general terms that he had been exchanged with the Archduke Devon and Old Smith.
However, William's worries are really unnecessary, Lena doesn't care how William got Chelsea at all, thinking about William's net worth, buying the debt-ridden Chelsea is not easy to catch, she only cares about when she can take over Chelsea,
Lena walked around excitedly, "God, this is such a surprise, I didn't expect that I, Lena Devonhill, will also be in Chelsea one day, William, tell my mother, when will we be in Chelsea".
"Soon, Mom, the overall acquisition can't be rushed, I promise that we will be able to take over Chelsea sooner or later, it will definitely belong to you, too anxious at this time will only make the old man lion open his mouth and slaughter us fiercely."
Lena listened to William's words and nodded, "That's right, that's right, God, I can't be in a hurry", but Lena only showed a smile that was more ugly than crying after a moment of happiness, "What about the child, my mother is so excited, I can't calm down at all."
Looking at his mother's tangled expression, William laughed, this is not simple, just divert his mother's attention, pick up the gift box on the dining table, hand it to his mother, "Open it and see, believe me, Mom, as long as you see the gifts in the box, you will soon forget about Chelsea."
"Really?" Lena looked at her son suspiciously, seeing William's affirmative nod, Lena took a few deep breaths and gently opened the gift box, and saw the ruby in the box, the gift Lina's attention was immediately attracted by the red color of the ruby, and she covered her mouth with her left hand, otherwise she would scream.
Look at William and look at the gem, Lena beckoned to William, let William bow his head, and saw his mother's action The corners of William's mouth twitched, he knew that his mother's attention would definitely be attracted by rubies, and women didn't have the gems that could resist the sparkling, not to mention that this gem was still a flawless pigeon's blood ruby of more than 30 carats.
But William was very helpless about his mother's gesture, he lowered his head pitifully, and his cheek was twisted by his mother, and William rolled his eyes and exclaimed in surprise with the appearance of pretending to be in pain.
"It hurts, does that mean it's true?" Seeing her son's exclamation in pain, Lena laughed happily, pinched the ruby with her fingers and looked at it carefully, "God, where did such a big ruby come from, and how much did you spend to buy it."
"Mom, you just have to say whether you like it or not, as for how you got it, you still don't care, anyway, it wasn't bought with money, you just need to know that you will have endless jewelry in the future."
Seeing that her son didn't want to say it, Lena didn't ask, happily looked at the ruby in her finger and observed the light for a while, and after seeing the purity of the gem, she compared her nails, and Lena said excitedly:
"It is estimated that this gem is about 6 grams, converted to cara, isn't it more than 30 carats, William, although my mother knows that you don't want to say, but I still can't help but wonder where you found such a big, pure pigeon blood gem, if it is auctioned, this gem should be able to fetch tens of millions of dollars. ”
"Tens of millions?" William asked unexpectedly, "Mom, you are not wrong, such a small gem can be worth tens of millions?"
It seems that in the future, I have to learn some jewelry identification knowledge, otherwise there will be today's situation in the future, I originally wanted to send a medium jewelry so as not to scare my mother, but I didn't expect to pick out a superb one.
"Haha, child, mom will definitely not be wrong in this regard, although our family didn't have money before, but don't forget where we live, there is a jewelry store near Oxford Street, even if mom has no money, won't she go and see it?
For decades, not to mention chatting with employees in the jewelry industry I knew, my mother could know the approximate price by looking at the advertisements in those jewelry stores, but my mother couldn't tell if your gemstone was real or fake, after all, my mother had never bought any jewelry except for the jewelry that your grandmother secretly left me."
As she spoke, Lena's expression slowly darkened, "Hey, your grandmother only left your mother a set of jewelry that your grandfather used when he married her, if only your grandmother was still there, she would definitely like this ruby very much if it was made into a necklace, but unfortunately all this is impossible."
Isn't it just a ruby, for William, who has 14 boxes of gems, the gem is really no different from glass marbles, thinking of his grandmother's love for him before, William smiled and said: "Mom, why don't we make this ruby into a necklace and bury it in my grandmother's grave."
