During the British colonization of India in the 18th century, Surat was a famous treaty port in India, and it was famous for its diamond processing industry.

The discovery of diamonds in India has been around the time of aristocrats wearing diamonds, dating back to around the 10th century, when Indians discovered and used diamonds to make valuable jewelry.

In 1304, the Indians discovered an 800-carat rough stone in the Kola Mine, which was then cut into a rose-shaped stone weighing 191 carats, which became a national treasure of India at that time. Later, in 1562, the Sultan of Babbir established the Mughal Empire, and took this diamond as a national treasure, and in the 18th century, the emperor of the Persian Empire, Nader Shah, even launched an invasion war because of this diamond.

Later, after the British colonists took control of India, through various coercion and temptation, the Indians finally gave the diamond named 'Koh-i-Noor' to the Queen of England, and later this diamond was set in the crown of the Queen of England and became a legend.

This diamond can show that the Indian people have a long history of diamond processing, and this Surat can become the diamond capital of Asia, of course, there is a reason, centuries of processing and production, so that here is the best diamond polishing, cutting, processing craftsmen in India, millions of people in the city, one-tenth are engaged in the diamond processing industry.

Every summer, nearly 30,000 buyers from all over the world gather in the city to buy diamonds, and the amount of diamonds traded here in a single summer can reach a billion dollars, of course, and this is only on the surface, and if it involves underground transactions, the transaction volume will be several times greater.

The whole of Surat is full of gray and white high-rise buildings, and even the houses in the residential areas are painted gray and white, making the whole city look clean and solemn from the outside.

When he arrived in the city, it was inevitable that Xiao Feng felt that he had returned to the familiar Indian city, the streets were full of people, except for the main roads of the city, which were relatively tidy, the other streets were potholed and disorderly, and the streets were full of people and leisurely cows, and the roads were full of cow dung.

The city once declined due to the depletion of India's diamond mines, but at that time, Argyle in Australia discovered diamond mines, so a steady stream of rough stones from Australia was shipped here, and Surat flourished again.

When Xiao Feng came, it happened to be past the peak diamond trading season, so the traffic situation in the city was much better than in previous months.

The driver of Xiao Feng's chartered car is an Indian chatter, speaking Indian English and Xiao Feng Rory all the way, perhaps because there are more and more Chinese people in Sutra in recent years, so this driver has become accustomed to Chinese people.

Sent Xiao Feng to the hotel, Xiao Feng sent the driver to eat, and he went directly to the restaurant after a simple wash in the hotel, he ordered the Sheraton Hotel, the Indian food in the past few days made him scared, and after enjoying a steak meal in the hotel's restaurant, he went downstairs satisfied.

The Calabi family recommended by Liukin lived in the northeast of Sutra City, next to the Taputi River that ran through the city, and Xiao Feng asked the driver to drive him to the gate of Calabi's house, and he had already been with this Calabi before coming. Surasivi passed the phone, and before he came, Liukin also called this Karabi.

So the other party also knew that he was coming, and as soon as his car stopped at the door, the electric gate opened, and the door was opened by two strong bodyguards with guns, and behind the report was a gray-haired Indian, because of his dark skin, he couldn't tell how old he was.

"Hello, are you Mr. Xiao?"

"That's right, it's me, you're ... ”

"Hello, I'm Calaby. Surasivi, you are very welcome. ”

This Calabi's English is much more authentic than that of ordinary Indians, with a London accent, it can be seen that he should be highly educated, and he is also very enthusiastic.

Xiao Feng got out of the car, and under the leadership of Calaby, walked into his house, which is very large, close to the gate on both sides of the two rows of workshops, and the sound of electric grinding wheels can be heard from afar, and the air is filled with an indescribable smell.

Calabi took Xiao Feng on a tour of his 'factory', where two rows of factories were filled with machines that Xiao Feng didn't recognize, and then there were a lot of teenage children crowded in front of the machines, polishing and cutting diamonds on the operating table.

Xiao Feng had heard before he came that the diamond merchants in Surat had a tradition of employing child labor, and today seeing is believing, the scene is still very shocking, these poor children don't even have masks, these Indians are really black-hearted.

Calabi took Xiao Feng all the way to visit, all the way to Xiao Feng to introduce the situation, through his words, Xiao Feng only knew that India occupies such an important position in the world diamond trade, 90% of the world's rough diamond polishing, polishing work is completed in Sutra.

No wonder the diamond industry here is so hot.

When Liukin called Calaby, he explained some of Xiao Feng's background, and Calabi of course regarded Xiao Feng as a big customer from Huaguo, and he was very enthusiastic about entertaining him.

After looking at a lot of polishing and polishing the original diamonds, Calabi finally introduced Xiao Feng into the big mansion behind his manor, and after someone brought two cups of coffee, Calabi asked Xiao Feng.

"I don't know Mr. Xiao, what kind of diamonds do you want to buy this time? I have all kinds of diamonds here, cut or rough diamonds. ”

"Well, Mr. Calaby, I think Liukin may not have made it clear to you on the phone before, that I am not here to buy diamonds, but to sell them. ”

"Oh, so did you bring your diamonds, what do they look like?"

Calabi opened the door to do business, whether he came to him to buy or sell, he could make money, plus he had been in business for so many years, and he was used to seeing wind and waves, so he was neither surprised nor angry when he heard Xiao Feng's words.

Xiao Feng also wanted to end the transaction as soon as possible, so he simply took out a rough diamond from his pocket, this rough diamond was the smallest one he pried off the gold necklace he had stirred from the other world, but it was also the size of an ordinary egg, as soon as this diamond was taken out, Calabi on the opposite side was immediately stupid!8)
