After settling in Nate, he went back to the resort town, where an old-fashioned Land Rover parked in front of the restaurant, and when he saw him enter, Maison waved to him warmly: "Hey, Yang, you came early enough." ”

Standing beside him was a tall, thin middle-aged white man, who was Mason's eldest brother.

The white man politely stretched out his hand to him and said, "Hello Mr. Yang, I'm Walker, Walker-Hall, a salesman in the bulk land trading division of the independent group, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Seeing the two shaking hands, Maison said happily: "You talk first, I'll make coffee for you." ”

In fact, there was nothing to talk about, Hall said that the price of the 1,000 acres of land was two million rand, and because it was a business with the government, there was no room for bargaining.

Yang Shubao can accept this price, but he has no cash, and the rand in the safe is only about 100,000 yuan in total.

But he has diamonds.

The diamonds he got from the safe were no more than twenty, the two largest were bigger than broad beans, and the smallest were bigger than soybeans, all of which were cut finished diamonds.

Suspicious, Yang Shubao showed a diamond and said: "I don't have that much cash, I have to sell the diamond in exchange for cash before I can buy land." ”

Hall cautiously asked, "Does the diamond have a certificate?"

Yang Shubao shook his head and said, "No, you can treat them as blood diamonds, is there a way to deal with them?"

Blood diamonds do not mean blood diamonds, but diamonds that have been dug up from mines in war zones, and this kind of diamond is often accompanied by a lot of bloodshed from birth to trade, hence the name.

Hall frowned and thought for a while and said, "It can be handled, and our group can collect it, but the price is probably not as high as you imagined, and you can get up to sixty percent of the market price." ”

Yang Shubao breathed a sigh of relief, the price was not low, he used to work in the Cape Botanical Reserve to hear local colleagues talk about the black market diamond trade, which is usually half the market price.

In addition, this market price is not the price of diamonds in the mall, but the price of loose diamonds, which is very different.

When the two sides were almost talking, Hall decided to go straight away, and Mason asked, "Don't you have another cup of coffee?"

Hall said while putting on his suit: "No, Richard, we have to hurry to Pietermaritzburg, I want to finish the transaction today." ”

They now belong to KwaZulu-Natal, the northeasternmost province of South Africa, and Pietermaritzburg is one of the capitals of this province, and the reason why they want to add one is because there are two strange capital cities in this province, which are rotated by the cities of Pietermaritzburg and Ulundi.

However, it is not difficult to understand that South Africa has three capitals, and that one province has two capitals.

The resort town is well trafficked, it is very close to the small town of Hluchluwe, and there is a national road from Hluchluwe to the capital Pietermaritzburg, but you have to drive south to the famous port city of Durban in South Africa, and then drive northwest from Durban to Pietermaritz, a total distance of 350 kilometers.

Yang Shubao also felt too anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Hall, I'm afraid we won't be able to do business today, because my information, including visas, identity documents, etc., is not here." ”

"Where?"

"In the Western Cape. ”

Hall thought for a moment and asked, "Is your information okay? It's not a black account, no political problems, no bank reputation problems?"

Yang Shubao said with certainty: "This is absolutely no problem. ”

Hall continued to put on his clothes: "That's okay, these materials can be retrieved on the Internet, I asked my colleagues in Peter City to contact the police station to get you a temporary ID." ”

The salesman understands the truth that late will change, and he wants to win this business in one go.

Hall's car was the dilapidated Land Rover in front of the door, and I don't know how many hands it was.

This is the current situation of the South African automobile industry, mainly based on second-hand cars eliminated by Asian and European countries, Wanguo brand.

Don't look at this Land Rover's dilapidation, but the speed of driving is not to say, swishing forward, even if there are two strong men sitting in the car, it is still floating.

Yang Shubao glanced at the dashboard and showed a suspicious look: "It's only sixty miles per hour, and it feels quite fast." ”

Hall, who was driving, smiled: "The dashboard is broken, and now it's going to be a hundred miles per hour." ”

A speed of 100 miles per hour translates to 160 kilometers per hour.

Yang Shubao was stunned, a classic car would dare to drive at this speed? He estimated that if there was a car accident, he would not be much better than Mayek, at most he could piece together a whole piece.

He underestimated Hall's driving skills, and they entered Pietermaritzburg without any danger along the way, and the whole journey was 350 kilometers and two and a half hours!

Pietermaritzburg is a metropolis and an old city in South Africa, it was founded in 1838 because of the long period of British rule, and the buildings here are mostly Victorian and Edwardian style, just like a small European country town.

But for Yang Shubao, who went to college in the magic capital, this is just a big village, and when he looks out, there are few high-rise buildings above ten floors, and the buildings in the city are old and scattered, almost all of which are left over from the white regime of the last century, and they are not as good as his hometown county.

As the car began to slow down as it entered the city, Hall took out his phone and called his colleagues in the city to make an appointment with the land management department, which would save time on formalities.

After he finished calling......, Yang Shubao asked, "Can I use your mobile phone?"

Hall was very bold and handed over the phone without waiting for him to finish.

His mobile phone is a Chinese famous brand Transsion mobile phone, with a large ringtone, four cards and four standbys, and is the king of African telecommunications.

After getting the mobile phone, Yang Shubao was stunned, he wanted to call the reserve, but he didn't remember the phone numbers of his colleagues and leaders in the reserve, he wanted to call the school, he didn't remember the phone numbers of his classmates and tutors, he remembered his father's phone, but Hall didn't open a cross-border business, and the phone couldn't go out!

This can only be done temporarily, and they are busy later.

Hall had to take him to the independent group's branch in Pietermaritzburg to process the diamonds, which was a complicated process, and the quality appraisal of the diamonds was based on the purity grade, carat grade, color grade, and diamond cut grade before he could make a quotation.

Yang Shubao left the two largest diamonds, and the other eighteen were all handed over.

This thing is not so valuable in South Africa, especially loose diamonds are traded at a lower price, and a one-carat diamond on the exchange may only cost one or two thousand rand, but once you enter the mall, it is different, and their value immediately soars to the level of 108,000 rand.

So, a diamond is just something that has been fried, and it has very little value in itself.

Fortunately, the diamonds in Yang Shubao's hands are quite large, and the smallest one is more than two carats, so it can be worth a little more, if the diamonds in his hand are all one or two carats, then these eighteen diamonds are not enough for him to buy the land in the reserve.
