Chapter 393: Half of Cullinan
The four pilots will take the initiative to do heavy physical work, and just now they will be given a bonus of 20,000 yuan each, which is more than half a year's salary!
The boss is generous, and the guys have to work hard. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Don't think that pilots' salaries are super high, the high salaries are the captains of large airlines who fly international routes, and these guys who fly small seaplanes in the northern region of Canada actually earn half a pound a year to eight taels as the workers in the meat processing factory in Yellowknife City, and the income is at the level of supporting their families.
However, the three experts, plus Zhang Nan and Nicole, did not participate in the beneficiation and were studying the magical ore outside.
"Lao Xie, how big do you think this one is?"
It was Xiang Zhangsheng who was questioning.
"It's hard to say, but 1200 carats should be available. ”
Tang Jichao on the side felt more than that, and said: "I feel that there will be at least 1500 cards, and this section here may be deeply embedded." ”
Carat, card, one meaning.
Zhang Nan listened honestly at first, but after a few minutes, he saw that these people were still researching, and he was a little impatient.
"I said, everyone, take it out and it's over. ”
Study a hair, dig it out, and then talk about it.
When Xiang Zhangsheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Boss, don't you keep the ore as a specimen?"
Zhang Nan shook his head and said, "I like diamonds, and I also like money." However, my diamond company will not need to enter the financial market at all in the future, I don't like to go public myself, I just like to make other people's money in the financial market. ”
I like to make money in the stock market, but I don't plan to list my company as well.
Well, Zhang Nan's words can be regarded as for Niu: the three experts looked confused, and they didn't understand the boss's words at all!
Zhang Nan originally meant: Many large diamond companies will go public to raise funds, but they don't need it at all, because they have strong financial strength!
Moreover, the listing of people is actually a means to avoid risks, and the boss of the diamond company does not know whether his company's investment will make money, so that investors in the capital market can bear this risk.
As soon as a diamond company goes public, if it breaks the news that the diamond mine under its control has dug up a rare giant diamond in the world, the market value will generally rise by a cut, sometimes even twenty or thirty percent!
However, listing also means a certain degree of supervision: Zhang Nan loves money, but he doesn't like to be regulated and restricted, so he doesn't want to go public at all, and he doesn't need to stock up on giant hair diamonds as a "gimmick released at the right time" to give investors confidence and increase the stock price!
Other mine owners may do the same, and even use large "blood diamonds" bought from other countries to pass off as diamonds dug up in their own mines: if the situation comes and you need to use the newly dug giant diamonds to boost your confidence, you will do it yourself!
But I obviously forgot one thing just now: it is impossible for the three experts to understand the meaning of their words!
"What are financial markets?"
Lao Tang and Lao Xie are completely confused, Xiang Zhangsheng has heard about the financial market in the Western world, but what is this thing for?
I'm sorry, Xiang Zhangsheng doesn't know!
This will make Huaxia have no stock market at all!
This is the same situation as the indigenous people in the Amazon jungle discussing ICBMs, in vain.
Xiang Zhangsheng meant that if such a huge diamond was left on the bedrock of the ore, it would be more publicized when the diamond mine opened.
Well, this person has been staying in the domestic state-owned enterprise system before, and his head is a little stiff!
Zhang Nan had to say: "Zhang Sheng, I can't sell this diamond, it will be my collection." And in the West, a rough drill is never as attractive as a cut finished diamond.
If it is not processed, it will always be a white stone. ”
Instead of trading it out for cash, the attractiveness and fame of processing it into a finished diamond will become even higher! And De Beers and other diamond companies often do the same, and they have no intention of selling this very small number of giant diamonds when they are on display everywhere!
The "Tiffany Legendary Yellow Diamond" is actually the same thing, if it weren't for the price Zhang Nan paid was big enough, that diamond would be Tiffany's living signature.
If you don't sell it, the benefits will be greater than if you sell it!
Well, find a way to get it down.
To get such a super-rare diamond from bedrock, it stands to reason that you should first take an X-ray, a tomography scan, or something. However, Zhang Nan didn't have that patience, and with three guys with enough experience, he used the simplest manual way to do it.
But don't rush yet: the ore is gone, and this photo still needs to be taken for a few files - it's better than nothing.
With a small steel wedge, the chapter is vivid.
The weather was quite cool, but this would be an expert comrade who was obviously stressed to death, and Zhang Nan felt that his forehead was sweating.
Before he could do anything, Zhang Nan shouted to the side: "Fix the gravel!"
This will not dare to disturb Xiang Zhangsheng, these knocks are tens of millions, and even "priceless" relationships!
The large rock on the side was chiseled first, and then the ore could be corroded with chemicals that would not damage the diamond, but the connection between the giant diamond and the parent ore body was not strong, and a gap could be seen between them.
It took only a few knocks under the pressure of the sky, and it was obvious that the embedded diamond was loose!
"Boss, come on, I can't bear it!"
When I looked at Xiang Zhangsheng, my forehead was really sweaty!
In fact, he would be sweating all over his back - nervous to death!
This reminded Zhang Nan of the "poor" craftsman who smashed the "Cullinan": at the beginning of 1908, the "Cullinan" was sent to Amsterdam, the most authoritative city for diamond polishing in the Netherlands, and handed over to the Joschar company for processing, and the processing fee was 80,000 pounds!
Because the rough stone is so large, it has to be broken into several small pieces according to the plan beforehand. Obviously, however, breaking it is an extremely difficult and risky task, because if there is not enough research or technology, the huge diamond will be shattered into a pile of small pieces of little value.
The crushing work was carried out by the famous Dutch craftsman at the time, Jo Aschar - after a series of preparations and unscrupulous operations, the "Cullinan" was cracked into two pieces by the steel wedge exactly according to the predetermined plan, and Aschar, who had started the operation, passed out on the floor!
Xiang Zhangsheng will be quite pitiful, just now his brain was hot and agreed to Zhang Nan's request, this will stop, although the person did not faint, but these two arms are still shaking!
"You take a breath first. ”
After speaking, Zhang Nan stepped forward and grabbed the part exposed by the giant diamond and moved it lightly.
Loose!
Lifting it up, the whole diamond was lifted.
Long trapezoidal, with a ratio of about 1.5 to 1 between the long end and the short end, and etched patterns throughout, this is a complete diamond crystal!
"Weigh it, it's all heavy. ”
Nicole said as she placed the scales on the table and placed the diamonds on them: an astonishing number popped up on the screen - 1526.78 carats!
Almost half the size of the "Cullinan"!
