Chapter 492: The Origin of Cullinan
When the deputy director left, he told Zhang Hao that he would definitely deal with these two guys seriously.
He can't deal with it seriously, because Zhang Hao said that if he is not satisfied.
He poked this matter out and asked the Huaxia Embassy for a group.
This is not a glorious thing, this scenic spot is not easy after a few years of operation, business is better.
If Zhang Hao is allowed to poke this matter out, several years of hard work will be in vain.
After the person in charge of the scenic spot completed the diamond formalities for Zhang Hao, he did not let Zhang Hao leave.
Instead, he chose a room for Zhang Hao in a nearby hotel.
"Mr. Zhang, for what happened today, we will compensate you, please stay in the hotel for one night, and we will let you see a satisfactory result tomorrow. ”
Zhang Hao didn't refuse, and he didn't plan to leave so soon.
"No problem, I have another question for you, where can I sell these diamonds?"
"I can put you in touch with a couple of diamond dealers, and in Johannesburg at the Premir Mine, there's a diamond trading center, and there's one in a nearby city, but it's not as big as that one. If you want to sell your diamonds, I recommend you go to Johannesburg. There are a lot of Chinese people there, and you can ask your compatriots more. ”
Zhang Hao nodded and got into the car arranged by the scenic spot.
The car took him directly to the hotel.
Originally, the person in charge of the scenic spot arranged a dinner, and the local ** department also sent people to participate. It's just that Zhang Hao was not interested in the dinner party and refused directly.
He lay in the room and laid the diamonds on the table.
Such a small diamond can cost many people their lives, and it can also make people rich overnight.
It's an amazing thing.
However, these diamonds are not big, which makes Zhang Hao a little dissatisfied.
His heart moved, and he released his divine power, wrapping the two diamonds together.
Since these diamonds belong to a mineral, they may be able to be refined with divine power.
If these diamonds are refined and fused together, the price can increase several times.
Zhang Hao first experimented with two diamonds.
The result made him very dissatisfied, the diamond was sure that it would not be able to withstand the refining of his divine power.
As soon as the refining began, the diamond turned into powder.
His uncle's, a road to fortune, was broken like this.
Zhang Hao and Xie Qingya watched for a while, and then sat on the bed and practiced.
It's not that Zhang Hao wants to work hard, there is no difference between his cultivation now and his non-cultivation, anyway, the divine power will automatically operate in his body.
Progress every day.
The reason why he cultivated was to see if the diamond would help his cultivation, just like an opal, which could make his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds.
Since lighting up the stars on the fourth star map, Opal's cultivation of Zhang Hao has lost its effect.
The strange energy in the opal could no longer be absorbed by Zhang Hao.
So Zhang Hao began to play with the idea of diamonds.
At six o'clock the next morning, Zhang Hao withdrew from his cultivation.
He looked at the diamonds next to him with a look of disappointment.
The diamond was intact, and it was obvious that the diamond had no effect on his cultivation at all.
In fact, when Zhang Hao got these diamonds, he almost knew that this was the result.
Because he didn't find any energy in the diamonds.
He tried, and was completely dead.
Washing up and having breakfast, Zhang Hao was waiting for the person in charge of the scenic spot in the room.
Before he cultivated last night, this guy said that he would bring a few diamond merchants over in the morning.
At half-past eight, the men finally arrived.
Except for the two yellow diamonds and the pink diamond.
The rest of the diamonds were sold by Zhang Hao.
The price is not as high as Zhang Hao thought, and the prices he checked by himself are market prices, which are processed.
These diamonds are all raw ore, and the price is definitely different from the market price.
One hundred and four diamonds, sold for 13 million M dollars.
The price was neither high nor low, and those diamond merchants did not cheat him.
After sending these people away, the deputy chief of the police station immediately came to the door.
He told Zhang Hao that the Ralde brothers would be sent to court today, and the trial would be held in a while, and he planned to go to Zhang Hao to observe.
Observers, not as plaintiffs.
It was the police station and the scenic spot that prosecuted those two guys, as well as the local **.
It's a special thing, anyway, I can send them in as quickly as possible.
Zhang Hao refused, he was not interested in how many years those two people could be imprisoned.
He was in a hurry to go to the Premir mines.
Zhang Hao did not teleport over directly, but took a plane to the city of Johannesburg.
After flying somewhere, Zhang Hao directly found a hotel to stay, and then teleported directly to the Premir mine.
It's past seven o'clock in the evening, but the mine is still brightly lit, and the sounds of various engines are mixed together.
Zhang Hao saw a lot of busy figures.
The miners on the diamond mines work in three shifts.
This place is also known as the Cullinan.
The Cullinan is the world's largest gemstone named diamond, it weighs 621.2 grams. The volume is about 5×6.5×l0cm, which is equivalent to the fist of an adult man. It is pure and transparent, with a pale blue hue, and is the best grade of gemstone diamond.
It was discovered on January 25, 1905, by a manager named Wales at the Premere Mine.
Welsh occasionally saw a glittering object on the ground of the mine, and he dug it out with a knife to see that it was a huge gem diamond.
The Cullinan is not a complete crystal, it is just a fragment of a large crystal. Cullinan was so big that no one could afford it at the time. It was later purchased by the Transvaal local authorities in South Africa for 150,000 pounds and presented to the British royal family on December 9, 1907 to celebrate the birthday of King Edward VII.
It was later divided into 105 diamonds, 9 large diamonds and 96 small diamonds.
After polishing and cutting, the weight of these 105 diamonds is less than 32% of the original Cullinan.
It can be seen that diamond cutting and polishing have a great loss of weight on the diamond.
This is also the reason why Zhang Hao's raw ore was sold for more than 10 million.
Throwing out the consumption, the profits of those diamond merchants are really not very high.
The 9 big diamonds fell into the hands of the British royal family.
Among them, "Cullinan I" and "Cullinan IV" were set in Queen Mary's crown made in 1911 and later removed from the queen's collection, and the crown was replaced with a clone of crystal.
In 1919, another gemstone weighing 1,500 carats was found in the Premir mines. It is the third in the world by weight. It is also a fragment of a large crystal, and is similar in color to the Cullinan. Therefore, it is believed that it was made by fragmentation of the same large crystal as Cullinan, so the diamond was not given a specific name.
It is precisely because of this that the Plemir mine is customarily called Cullinan.
The reason why Zhang Hao came here was also for the name of Cullinan.
He felt that there should be dimensional stones here, and even if he didn't, he would have the opportunity to get a few big diamonds and take them back to please his wife.
