La Buse Brown, a bit like a basketball player's name, is actually the same diamond and jewelry appraiser who used to do the appraisal of "Star", and he is also an acquaintance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Nan went to the living room, where La Buse Brown, who was in his forties, was sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee on the coffee table on one side.

As soon as he saw Zhang Nan coming down, La Buse Brown stood up, "Hello, Mr. Allen. ”

The two exchanged two words, and Zhang Nan went directly to the topic: "Mr. Brown, how did you think about my suggestion before?"

Brown, who had gray-brown hair, habitually put down his glasses and said, "Mr. Allen, I am very honored to have your invitation! But I have to say that in order to become a successful rough diamond supplier, you must have the support of high-yielding, stable and high-quality diamond mines under your own control.

I know that your financial resources are more than enough to support the birth and growth of a diamond trading empire, but it is very difficult to get a diamond mine!"

Before leaving for Canada, Zhang Nan left a message for Jenny to invite La Buse Brown, a well-known diamond grader in New York, to join the diamond group he was planning.

Brown is a person, but once he can join, he can bring a lot of resources to himself, and he can also pull a group of industry insiders under his command, so Jenny revealed a little bit of information to Brown.

It's just that at this point, La Buse-Brown didn't know that Zhang Nan had invested in land and developed minerals in Canada.

In fact, even if he was told, it would be fine: a well-known jewelry appraiser in New York was still a "free man", and customer confidentiality was the foundation of his survival!

You know, many wealthy New Yorkers don't want their safes and vaults to be known to the outside world, and La Buse Brown's mouth is notoriously tight in the industry.

But Zhang Nan listened to Brown's words and knew that he was politely refusing.

Without using words to do much ideological work, he said, "Mr. Brown, please wait for me for five minutes." ”

With that, he got up from the couch and left, returning to the second floor.

La Buse-Brown was a little confused, so he had to wait.

If this Mr. Allen just wants to make a jewelry brand, like Tiffany & Co., then he will gladly accept his invitation.

Mr. Allen has a lot of money, and it may take generations for a top brand to succeed, but with billions of dollars to back it up, it can become a top jewelry brand in a few years.

La Buse Brown is very aware of this, and knows even more that the conditions offered by the other party are also the top treatment in the industry.

But Mr. Allen not only wants to set up his own jewelry brand, but also enter the rough market, which in Brown's view is a bit ambitious: the existence of a diamond kingdom cannot be sustained by going to Africa to get some conflict diamonds.

But Brown still had to come and personally refuse Mr. Allen's invitation: first, polite, second, people who dared to enter the rough diamond market, how many of them were good men and women?

La Buse Brown was thinking about things in his head, and it was four or five minutes before he saw that Mr. Allen come down with his personal bodyguard who would have scared people's eyes.

Guan Xingquan held a box of no small size in his hand, or a wooden box was more suitable, while Zhang Nan also held two wooden boxes in his hand, but they were much smaller.

Guan Xingquan put the big wooden box on the coffee table, turned to the sofa on the other side and sat down, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Brown felt that the box was at least 20 kilograms, and he couldn't guess the intentions of the two at once.

Zhang Nan sat back in his old position and said, "Mr. Brown, I think the contents of this box will make you change your mind." ”

As he spoke, he motioned to the other party and asked him to open it by himself.

It's a bit of a rude move, but Brown doesn't have to be angry, these rich people have a lot of weird tempers, and Brown has seen more than this rude thing.

"Is it money?"

The thought unconsciously flashed through La Buse Brown's mind, and looking at the other party's expression, curiosity came up, and he stood up and opened the box.

"Oh my God!"

When he saw the contents of the box, La Buse Brown couldn't help but scream!

"It's impossible, it's impossible!"

The box was lined with a thick flannel, and on top of it was a piece of kimberlite with dozens of diamonds of all sizes embedded on one side.

La Buse Brown could tell at a glance that they were real diamonds without the help of tools: but this was incredible, completely counterintuitive!

There has never been such a kimberlite since ancient times, which is simply unscientific!

For professional reasons, Brown took out a small magnifying glass that he always had with him and carefully examined the surface of the ore, making sure that it was a kimberlite that had not been touched at all.

"Eighty percent of them are gem-quality, with large grains and such dense distribution, which is amazing and incredible...... It's God's handiwork......"

That's unscientific!

Watching La Buse Brown check the ore, he was still chattering, and Zhang Nan didn't interrupt him.

After the appraiser straightened up after reading it, Zhang Nan said: "This ore is a special case, the average content of gem-quality diamonds in that rock tube is about 4.5 carats, and there are 5 to 6 carats of industrial-grade diamonds. ”

La Buse-Brown looked at Zhang Nan with surprised eyes and said, "You already have a diamond primary mine?"

"Yes, there are three mines for the time being, and there are basically two rock pipes that have been proven. ”

"How many diameters?"

"One 900 meters, one 600 meters. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Nan opened one of the small boxes that he had just placed on the sofa, and inside were two small bags of diamonds, one industrial grade and one gem grade.

"This is a diamond obtained in 1.2 tons of ore, because it is a special case, so it feels very much, and the overall content is the data I just said. ”

La Buse Brown took it, and he didn't need to use a scale, and with years of experience, he knew it would be a super bonanza!

I didn't open the plastic sealed bag, so I put it in my hand and pinched it a few times, and I found that the quality of the large and small gem-quality rough diamonds inside was very good.

Returning the diamond to Zhang Nan, Brown said: "Congratulations, Mr. Allen, if you have won the mining rights of the mine, you will definitely occupy a very important position in the world diamond industry." ”

Of the three mines for the time being, only two of the pipes have been temporarily discovered--- which La Buse-Brown understands, indicating that at least the third mine also has diamonds, but it has not had time to explore it carefully.

Also, Brown already had a general idea in mind: two huge rock pipes, plus the diamond content that Mr. Allen said, once large-scale mining, at least in 10 to 15 years, this Mr. Allen will account for more than 10 percent of the world's gem-quality diamond production!

Yes at least!

It's good, this Brown is a very sophisticated man, and he didn't ask where the mine was: in the last year or two, there has been no news of any new large diamond primary mines being discovered in the world!

Don't ask, it's a trade secret unless the owner says it himself.

Seeing that this Brown was already a little tempted, Zhang Nan decided to add some weight and said something that surprised him.

"Yes, the formalities are complete. By the way, Mr. Brown, I would venture to ask, you don't have heart disease or any other cardiovascular disease, do you?"

Strange, but La Buse-Brown replied, "Yes, I'm in good health." ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he smiled and said, "That's good, I'm afraid that the next diamond taken out will surprise you too much." Belch... Those two small bags of diamonds were actually just a part of more than a ton of ore, and there were also very large rough stones. ”

"Big?"

"Very big. ”

"How big?"

"Isn't there a hole in that kimberlite, it was there. ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Nan's words, La Buse-Brown's glasses widened!

"That's at least 1,000 carats!"

"1526.78 carats. ”

As he spoke, he opened another box on the sofa and said, "This is the aurora." ”
