When he returned home, Xiao Feng pondered what to do with the diamonds, gold and other gems in his hand, he planned to keep them first, but he really didn't like diamonds, especially after learning about the development of the diamond industry, he felt that this was a marketing scam.

About 100 years ago, the diamond was first discovered by humans on the riverside of the jungles of India and Brazil, and then traveled to Europe, where it was only worn by the princes and nobles of England and France because of its scarcity.

At that time, this thing was definitely a luxury among luxury goods, and many upper-class celebrities were proud to own a piece of diamond jewelry.

But who would have thought that later the British colonists discovered a huge diamond vein by the Orange River in South Africa in 1870, and the output was actually measured in tons.

At first, everyone was ecstatic, but after a few months, the market was filled with all kinds of diamonds, which led to a sharp drop in the price of diamonds, which scared the investors in the diamond mines.

Then a Jew named Rhodes organized all the mine owners to form a diamond company called De Beers, which controlled and monopolized the global diamond trade by setting up trading companies in various countries.

Behind this company, in addition to the mine owners, there are also British nobles, even the royal family, and many other European princes and nobles, everyone worked together to control the diamond trade was quite successful, and during that time, no matter how the prices of gold, silver, copper, and oil changed, the price of diamonds remained high.

But in the thirties, when the European economy was in turmoil, and even wars began to break out, the market shrank rapidly, and De Beers focused on market development on the United States, the world's largest power at that time.

At that time, Americans did not have the habit of buying diamond rings when they got married, but these monopolists were very shrewd, taking advantage of the American nouveau riche to worship the European royal family, arranging for Britain and other European royal families to wear a large number of diamond jewelry when attending public occasions to guide people's consumption habits, and then also made up a lot of enduring advertising copy, such as what, diamonds are eternal, a forever and other advertisements, so that diamonds quickly opened the market in the United States and were accepted by the majority of American consumers.

Later, in the sixties and seventies, they used the same means to open up the Japanese market, and recently, they began to use the same methods to enter China, not to mention, the effect is really good, some stupid women, when they get married, are really crying and clamoring for diamond rings.

As everyone knows, these diamond rings are the size of a grain of rice, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars to buy, but when you really need to use the money to cash, they become worthless, and no one wants to buy back thousands of dollars, which is the most hateful thing about diamond scams.

The reason for this is that there is now a huge supply of diamonds to the entire international market every year, and this stuff has become almost proliferated.

At first, De Beers was able to control and monopolize the entire diamond industry, but later, with the discovery of diamond mines by Argyle in Australia, and the discovery of a large diamond mine in Siberia by the former Soviet Union, and then Rio Tinto and Arosa Group joined the game, De Beers's method of controlling prices really couldn't be played, and the repurchase price could not be guaranteed.

So in Xiao Feng's opinion, this diamond is really a broken thing that charges IQ tax, and the diamond necklace in his hand happens to be the first otherworldly treasure he wants to dispose of, after all, the space for this thing to maintain and appreciate in the future is limited, so it is better to dispose of it quickly and exchange money.

When he returned home and studied several major diamond processing centers, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a headache, there are four major diamond processing and sales centers in the world.

One is Antwerp, Belgium, where diamonds have been polished for hundreds of years, then Tel Aviv, Israel, and New York, USA, and the closest to him is Sutra, India.

After judging these markets comprehensively, Xiao Feng felt that this Sutra was the most suitable place for him to sell diamonds.

Needless to say, Antwerp, where the diamond processing is very formal, if you want to sell a diamond, you must first have a certificate from De Beers and several other companies to prove that you are not a blood diamond, otherwise people will not give you processing, nor will they sell you, and may even call the police.

It's the same with New York in the United States, and it's estimated that Tel Aviv in Israel is about the same, although it may be a little looser, but considering the political instability of that place, Xiao Feng really doesn't dare to go.

On the contrary, it seems that the chaotic Sutra in India is the most suitable place to sell diamonds, the local legal system is relatively backward, all kinds of underground transactions are rampant, known as the world's largest underground black diamond trading center, if you go there, the diamonds in your hands are easy to sell.

But you have to find a reliable channel, otherwise you will rush over, not to mention being deceived, and it is possible to be knocked on a sandcan.

Thinking of this Xiao Feng is even more of a headache, although he often goes in and out of the other world, and he does not kill many people, but in this world, he has always been a good law-abiding citizen, and he really hasn't had much contact with some underworld transactions.

If you go to Sutra alone and ask questions, you will have to be killed and thrown into the Taputi River on the same day, so you really have to be extra careful on this trip to India.

But how on earth can we get to know the person who is engaged in the diamond business in India? He still has to be a reliable and trustworthy person? Xiao Feng's head is as big as a fight, and he hasn't figured it out after thinking about it at home for a day.

Originally, he wanted to go to India to buy diamonds first and then go to Russia to purchase arms, so he simply advanced the schedule for purchasing arms and went to Russia first.

Or went to Vladivostok first, Peter was waiting for him at the station early, since he saved this guy's life last time, this guy's attitude towards Xiao Feng has also become very close.

beckoned Xiao Feng to have a big meal first, then went to take a Turkish bath, and finally arranged for Xiao Feng two girls to rest beautifully for a night.

When Xiao Feng woke up the next morning, Peter was already waiting for him at his hotel, had breakfast with him, and then drove off to meet that Liukin. Deliuka up.

"I really don't understand, why are you making so many arms?"

"Hehe, don't ask about this, I'm useful. By the way, who is this Liukin?

"Haha, he's a distant uncle of me and Katya, if he can't believe it, that's the end of it. Don't worry, that guy has a very wild path, he used to be an arms dealer, but he doesn't seem to have done it for a while. ”8)
