The cooperation was pleasant, and I didn't have to go to the bank, so I called the Citibank office in Cape Town, reported the card number of one of my bank cards, and the other party immediately sent someone to deal with the fund transaction. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, the employee who went to contact the friendly business company came back and informed that the owners of two companies would send diamonds within an hour, and the fastest one would arrive in about 15 minutes.

Almost all of them are in the same building, but the bosses are not necessarily in the company.

Even if you are, you have to negotiate what price you want to sell for the diamonds at hand: you can't sell them cheaply, and you can't make your business yellow because the price is too high.

A few people were drinking coffee in the reception room, and Zhang Nan asked by the way if he could get a cushion-shaped or emerald-shaped diamond of about 30 carats, which stumped Basten.

"Mr. Allen, it's hard to have a giant diamond at this level, you can only look at the opportunity. ”

It's not to go up for auction to buy, it's to bypass De Beers' Big Mac to buy a "bargain", this kind of channel is to find a cushion diamond of about 30 carats, and it is difficult to find a high-quality one.

Speaking of which, Bastendo asked, "Mr. Allen, are you going to set a men's ring?"

He noticed that Zhang Nan was wearing an extremely simple Patek Philippe, and there was no other jewelry on his hand.

Zhang Nan shook his head slightly and said, "No, I want to get a small toy for my daughter, and three less diamonds like this." ”

Well, some people really don't want to pretend to be B on purpose, but what they say and do can make others crazy!

Basten is also in his 50s, and it can be seen that the East Asian-American in front of him will definitely not be 30 years old, so how old is his daughter this year?

To get a toy for my daughter, I need 3 30-carat high-quality diamonds, which is not like this!

"What's wrong with this world?!"

How many ladies and ladies will be ecstatic to have a "named diamond" of more than 10.8 carats, and the one in front of them...

Basten felt that there was something very serious wrong with his worldview: now that the Oppenheimer family, who actually controlled De Beers, he probably wouldn't get such a toy for his direct little girl!

De Beers' headquarters would be a few hundred yards away.

The world was so amazing that Basten felt like he couldn't keep up.

La Buse Brown couldn't laugh or cry either: if the old South African friend knew that those three diamonds were just three side diamonds under the main diamond, I wonder if he would be so depressed that he hit the wall!

After Brown saw the "Aurora", Zhang Nan also consulted him: if you design a scepter based on it, how to get it.

Take the King's Scepter as a sample, the head of the scepter has seven layers, and the rest is easy to do: counting from the top down to the second layer, you also need a huge gem that is nearly round in size, at least 200 carats in size - diamonds of this shape are hard to find, and money can't buy them!

Then you can only make up the number with rubies or sapphires, and if you can't do it, you can also use top-quality emeralds or red spinels.

But even then, it's a super difficult project.

Especially the ruby that Zhang Nan likes, whether there is such a size or not is a problem!

The fourth layer will be set with the cut "Aurora", which is currently cut into a teardrop shape to maximize the weight of the diamond.

The fifth layer requires three matching diamonds of about 30 carats, which are divided into three sides, which will be more in line with the visual aesthetics.

As for the thousands of other diamonds and gemstones of various colors needed for the entire scepter, they are all trivial, no matter how much they want, as long as they have money, they will have them.

Within an hour, Zhang Nan bought 7 more diamonds, 5 of which were rough rough diamonds, and the largest one was 28 carats and could be processed into a cushion diamond between 15 and 17 carats, but it still did not meet Zhang Nan's requirements.

Don't worry, it's a big deal to try your luck in Antwerp, the price of diamonds is not particularly high, even if it is half higher than the price here in Cape Town, Zhang Nan will have to get three similar diamonds this year.

When I think about my daughter, what money is not money, let's talk about toys when they come out!

After the business was discussed, he was about to leave, and made an appointment to bring a few more friends to visit the spa hotel in the evening.

I'll send some diamonds.

Buy so many diamonds, when the diamond mine opens, those rough diamonds can be regarded as coming from their own mining area, and it is not impossible to make a name for themselves.

Besides, the price of diamonds has been rising in the past few years, even if you don't use it, you can make money.

At this moment, the administrator of the diamond company who had just contacted him hurriedly walked in and whispered two words in Basten's ear.

Basten frowned slightly, sent the man to leave first, and then said: "Mr. Allen, Mr. Brown, I just received the news that a friend of mine has a very large and superb hair diamond on hand, I don't know if you are interested?"

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said, "It's big?"

"Very big!"

"How much?"

At this time, Basten was a little hesitant, Zhang Nan looked at it and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of big diamonds, as long as the quality is good, the bigger the better." ”

Basten did not answer directly, but said: "Because I heard that Mr. Brown introduced me, my friend thought about selling, this is Cape Town, some things are very complicated." ”

What's complicated?

Because this is De Beers' territory!

And this is also to assess Zhang Nan's appetite, if he doesn't have a certain strength, that person won't take it out.

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "My dear friend, that 'incomparable' is in my hand, and now it is called 'Xingchen', so..."

Needless to say, whether it is economic strength or the relationship with De Beers, Zhang Nan does not pass the giant in Cape Town, and it is not a problem to buy a giant rough diamond in private.

Buy it, buy it, De Beers can't say anything, you must know that "Xingchen" has made De Beers make a lot of money, if De Beers wants to be crooked, it will go to a huge old customer!

And De Beers also wants to be famous, and the top giants in other industries are also what it doesn't want to provoke.

Basten appropriately expressed the surprise of Zhang Nan's collection, and then said: "The diamond has nearly 600 carats, and my friend wants to sell it anonymously, and I will trade it with you, and he will not come forward." ”

What a big size!

"I don't have any problems with that, I'll be waiting for you at the hotel. ”

After saying that, he shook hands and left.

600 carats, such a block is rare in the world, even 20 years later, the world has been mined more than 500 carats of gem-quality rough diamonds will look like more than 20.

This can happen once, as long as you can get by, you can't let it go.

As soon as he came out of the diamond building, Brown said: "Boss, such a huge diamond cannot be missed, it will be of great help to your jewelry company in the future." ”

"I didn't plan to miss it. ”

After smiling, I looked at my watch, and it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Go to the Cape of Good Hope. ”

If you don't come to Cape Town, you don't come to the Cape of Good Hope – and in another 20 years, it's a question of whether you'll dare to come or not.
