Chapter 800: The Unique "Stars"
Before Xiang Weirong became a soldier, he loved fishing and catching fish, but later when he was free in the army, he would take people to blow up fish with grenades or explosives, and he would eat scaleless fish in Tibetan areas without heart or lungs.
I have always loved to eat two kinds of fish: the wild grouper in my hometown, although this fish is not big because it is a small river and a stream, but it is better than a "fresh".
There is also the Yayu, one of the three Yayus of Xichuan Ya'an's "Yayu, Yayu, and Yanu", and the taste of wild fish is still often mentioned after he has been demobilized for more than 30 years.
It's a pity that there is no chance to eat it again, and it is said that around 2003, this wild fish is so expensive that it is almost unaffordable: hundreds of yuan a catty, the enjoyment of local tyrants.
After demobilization, I didn't have time to fish, I didn't think about it for two or three years, and I gave this young hobby again in the United States.
Not obsessed, but a lot of the time, in addition to proper physical and firearms training, the free time is basically fishing in the bay.
Sometimes I have a good time catching a few small fish on the pier, and from time to time I call a few empty bodyguards and drive the fishing boat to Long Island Bay and even the Atlantic Ocean offshore fishing.
In his words: It's only $10 a year, and if you don't fish for nothing, you can't catch up with the fish in Tibet, and the fish here are as stupid as those fish in Tibet, and the taste is good, so why don't you catch them!
$10, because according to New York regulations, a fishing license is required for sea fishing, lake fishing, or river fishing.
This license is readily available at fishing tackle shops, and the license required for fishing in saltwater is only $10 a year, and the license for freshwater and saltwater is only $25.
If you stay in the United States for a long time, you won't save the money for a fishing license, but when you fish on a private beach, you never pay attention to the rules that fish less than 7 inches (17.78 cm) long must be released, and no one will check it anyway - by feeling, the too small ones are thrown back into the sea, anyway, there are many fish in the bay, and no one wants the ones that are too small.
......
Let's put aside Xiang Weirong, who is enjoying fishing, and how to choose between two different sets of jewelry is the immediate concern.
No one spoke, Zhang Nan thought about it, and it was better to let Adjani decide by herself.
I can't talk about this in front of everyone, so it's better to get up and go upstairs to ask, so as not to have no room to turn around.
My son woke up from a nap, and Adjani was breastfeeding upstairs.
Soon, the two came down.
Before anyone reached the coffee table, they heard Adjani say, "The world is unique? β
As soon as Zhang Nan said this just now, Adjani, who had just finished feeding the child, said: "I don't care, it doesn't matter which set it is." β
When she saw the jewels in the box, Adjani smiled and said, "Beautiful, I've never seen a gem of this color!"
Jenny, help me put it on. β
That's it.
Adjani loves to make literary films, not a super commercial movie star with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars, but she is still very interested in jewelry, she was originally one of Tiffany's spokespersons for many years, but now she has switched to her own industry.
Purple diamonds are beautiful and precious, but that is Nicole's favorite, and the purple diamonds that can be found in the world, the largest and highest-quality diamonds, are all in Nicole's hands before.
Rio Tinto owns the Argyle mine that can produce purple diamonds, but the largest purple diamond they own is less than 1.5 carats, which is not the same as the one owned by Nicole!
As for the red diamonds...
Hehe, in 1987, a 0.95 carat red diamond auctioned at Christie's in Hong Kong was sold for 880,000 US dollars, and the largest red diamond in the world is 5.11 carats in addition to the red diamond owned by Zhang Nan's family.
5.11 carats?
The cushion-shaped red diamond on the ring for Adjani weighs 15.6 carats, which can amaze the whole earth!
Originally, Adjani was asked to wear purple and red diamond jewelry at the Oscars, and the main idea was to show the strength of "Star International", stomp on the faces of other great diamond giants, and attract the attention of potential customers, but those diamonds are impossible to sell.
The secondary role of business is to use the French rose as his own faΓ§ade - everyone in the circle knows that the behind-the-scenes boss of "Star International" is a madman, and he can already compete with the collection of the "empire on which the sun never sets" for hundreds of years.
Ni cute purple diamond, living at home, there must be a boundary that everyone knows, several women know this, no one is not a fool.
Adjani even politely refused the 15-carat super purple diamond, but Nicole repeatedly forced it to accept.
As for Jenny's preference for pink and red, Jenny's choice of diamonds in those two colors at home must be Jenny's first choice - the 15.6-carat red diamond is Jenny's treasure.
And Alice may be because she was married, she likes pure and flawless colorless diamonds: this is best satisfied, who makes colorless diamonds have more.
Adjani actually likes blue, blue diamonds, sapphires, and aquamarines, but she didn't say it before.
She was really attracted to the breathtaking new variety of tourmaline in front of her, beautiful! indescribably beautiful! unlike any other blue gemstone!
Clear, unimaginably clear blue!
After putting on the jewelry, Adjani looked at the mirror that the maid had fetched, and then asked, "Mr. Brown, how can they be so blue and so different from all the tourmalines I have seen before?"
Oh, I should say I've never seen a gem like this, it's so unique!"
All feel like a good match!
I don't know if it's the gemstone that sets off the French rose, or the French rose that sets off the gemstone.
Hearing this, Brown said, "Lady Adjani, this is because the final color of all other varieties of tourmaline is determined by the iron, manganese, chromium and vanadium elements contained in it, which play a role in the color-causing role of tourmaline.
But this Paraiba tourmaline is different, their color is formed mainly because of the copper element, which is the first tourmaline in the world to contain the copper element, so its color is unique, a masterpiece of nature!"
It's good to say, just like the French rose, and there's nothing else to worry about.
"Alan, I'll wear them to the ceremony, and I'll wear the purple diamonds, and the colorless diamonds. β
Is it appropriate to change three things for one celebration?
Although Zhang Nan is the boss of "Star Columbia Pictures", he actually knows a little about the American film industry at most, and Henry in the living room probably guessed Adjani's thoughts.
Sure enough, Adjani wanted to euphemistically explain her thoughts to her man, an incompetent "filmmaker": "The 2nd of next month is the nominee's luncheon, and I will wear a colorless suit." I wore these cuties at the 22nd award ceremony, and then I changed to purple diamonds at the official dinner, and it was done.
By the way, what is this called tourmaline, I didn't remember it just now. β
Adjani's words solved the little entanglement in Zhang Nan's heart, but let everyone find a problem!
"What is this tourmaline called?"
Found in Paraiba in Brazil, it is tentatively called Paraiba tourmaline, but is this really a good name?
How many people will know where Paraiba is, and even if the pronunciation is suitable for Westerners, how many people will remember it?!
The name comes from...
no-level!
Zhang Nan was the first to react, looked at the blue tourmaline on Adjani's neck, and said, "For the time being, it's called Paraiba tourmaline, but this name is not good, it's not good!"
Brown, Joshua, let's give it a nice and memorable name before it gets public.
If it's called Paraiba, few people outside the jewelry circle will remember it even if it takes thirty years!"
When it comes to diamonds, the word "South Africa" immediately pops up in most people's minds, even though South Africa is no longer the world's largest diamond producer.
A good name and good publicity are important, with "Paraiba"?
Lazy way, lazy to super bad!
If the big boss is not satisfied, then change.
Zhang Nan thought about it again and said, "Just name it after my son and call it Star Tourmaline."
In the future, don't say that it is because of my son's name in public opinion, and the elements of Paraiba cannot be less, to create a concept: only the blue copper-bearing tourmaline produced in Paraiba can be called star tourmaline!"
Be unique!
