225. It can't be true
Many people have heard what Zhang Xuemin said.
Many people don't know much about red diamonds, but as long as Zhang Xuemin didn't lie, the necklace that Zhou Rui took out couldn't be red diamonds.
100 million yuan of precious jewelry, has always only appeared in the top auctions or collectibles exhibitions, how can anyone use it in a restaurant to make women happy?
Even the few people who recognized Zhou Rui are not quite sure now.
They don't want their idol to become a person who lies to save face, but it would be too embarrassing for them to believe that it was a red diamond second only to Mousaef.
Zhou Rui raised his head, looked at Zhang Xuemin, and said lightly: "You said this is not a red diamond?"
"Of course not, if it's a red diamond, I'll eat all this table!" Zhang Xuemin sneered.
Zhou Rui nodded, glanced at the audience, and asked loudly, "Do you have any friends who know how to identify diamonds?"
Not to mention, when he shouted like this, a man in his fifties stood up and said, "I understand." ”
Many people looked at it, and after seeing the person clearly, they were surprised and said: "It's Kang Shunwei, the chief appraiser of Nanyang International!"
Nanyang International is a foreign-funded enterprise, but it has long been rooted in China, and many big cities have their branches.
The company is involved in many industries, including the jewelry trade, and often cooperates with many multinational brands to hold auctions and so on.
Kang Shunwei, as the chief appraiser of Nanyang International, is also well-known in Qingzhou.
Seeing him stand up, many people's curiosity was also completely aroused.
Zhang Xuemin glanced at Kang Shunwei, well, I don't know, another little person who is not worth mentioning.
He sneered and said, "Just find someone to do your appraisal, how do I know if he is a to?"
Originally, Kang Shunwei just recognized Zhou Rui's identity and wanted to take the opportunity to come over to say hello. After all, no matter who his personal status and Zhou Rui are higher or lower than, people will always get sick. Zhou Rui is known as the miracle doctor, and he can be said to be the most valued person in the eyes of the upper class people in Qingzhou!
But now, Zhang Xuemin's words made Kang Shunwei's face slightly gloomy.
As the chief appraiser, even in Nanyang International, he has a high status, how can a hairy boy like Zhang Xuemin look down on him.
After walking over, Kang Shunwei glanced at Zhang Xuemin and said, "Although I don't know which family you are, if you think I'm not qualified, you can call and ask the people in this circle if there are people who are more qualified than me!"
These words are neither soft nor hard, neither humble nor arrogant, and while showing his bearing, he exerts a certain amount of pressure on Zhang Xuemin.
Zhang Xuemin also felt the temperament of the upper-class character from Kang Shunwei, and naturally understood that he had said the wrong thing, but it was still the same sentence, he didn't come to Qingzhou to carry out any career, and it was nothing to offend a few unimportant people.
Pouting, Zhang Xuemin said: "I'm too lazy to call, since you want to identify, then I'll leave it to you." But in the future, if the results of the appraisal make me feel wrong, don't blame me for finding someone to re-evaluate. If I find out if you play tricks, I'm not welcome!"
Kang Shunwei said twice, ignored him, walked straight to Zhou Rui, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhou, I really didn't expect to see you here, it's really an unexpected joy." ”
"Are you ......," Zhou Rui asked curiously.
Kang Shunwei hurriedly introduced: "I am Kang Shunwei, the chief appraiser of Nanyang International Qingzhou Branch, you may not have met me." But your name is like thunder. I've seen it a few times in the report before, but I wasn't sure about it just now, so I didn't come to say hello at the first time. ”
Zhou Rui sighed, it turned out that he knew him through news reports. There are too many such people, and Zhou Rui has become accustomed to nature.
However, Fu Meiyu was a little surprised when she heard it over there, and said to Zhang Xuemin: "This person is a bit powerful, he is the chief appraiser of Nanyang International Branch!"
"What's wrong with the appraiser? Zhang Xuemin said with an indifferent face.
"What do you know!" Fu Meiyu said: "Nanyang International's auction house is directly linked to major brands, and before the top products are unveiled, they will definitely go to Nanyang International to make a sign." Lead appraisers like them are rotated, changing locations every three years. However, it is said that the evaluation standards are very strict, and if you can be the chief appraiser of Nanyang International and go to any auction house, you will be the top VIP! My father's copper mine in South Africa is still stable by Nanyang International, otherwise it would have been snatched away long ago. ”
Zhang Xuemin was stunned when he heard it, he didn't know much about various companies, and only the types of eating, drinking and playing were more familiar.
But listening to Fu Meiyu say this, this person named Kang Shunwei doesn't seem to be a simple character?
Looking at Kang Shunwei's enthusiasm for Zhou Rui, Zhang Xuemin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
If Kang Shunwei is not simple, then who is Zhou Rui who makes him treat him so warmly?
At this time, the manager of the restaurant had already arrived.
He walked quickly to Zhang Xuemin and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, is something wrong?"
Zhang Xuemin hesitated, then gestured over there and asked, "Do you know that man?"
The manager looked up and saw Kang Shunwei, he directly introduced: "That is Mr. Kang Shunweikang, the chief appraiser of Nanyang International Branch, whose prestige in the jewelry industry in Qingzhou is second to none, and he ...... Hey, that's ...... Mr. Zhou?"
The manager's face suddenly showed joy, and he said to Zhang Xuemin: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, I'll go over first." ”
Saying that, without waiting for Zhang Xuemin to reply, he walked quickly to Zhou Rui and said, "Mr. Zhou, hello, I am Rulor, the manager of Yinta Restaurant, whose Chinese name is Wu Qisheng, I am really happy to meet you here!"
Zhou Rui stretched out his hand and shook his hand, and chatted casually.
Wu Qisheng looked quite happy, the Silver Tower Restaurant is one of the more famous French restaurants, and being able to be a manager in such a place is very knowledgeable.
Zhou Rui's popularity and status in Qingzhou are almost no different from celebrities. The closer a person is to the upper class, the more he hopes to have a good relationship with him.
Especially recently, Ruicai Pharmacy wants to auction the miracle medicine that can save people, which has attracted the attention of countless people.
For such a character, Wu Qisheng naturally wants to entertain him.
In contrast, although Zhang Xuemin is the son of a friend of the restaurant owner, his status is much lower than Zhou Rui. Because even if the restaurant owner came, he would never dare to shout at Zhou Rui, but would be polite.
Because part of Zhou Rui's fame is obtained by real materials, and the other part is supported by top figures like Chu Canghai and Jin Yongming.
has connections and ability, unless his brain is broken, he will not easily offend him.
Seeing the restaurant manager who was polite to him just now, he suddenly ran to Zhou Rui's side to greet him warmly, Zhang Xuemin and Fu Meiyu were a little stunned.
That guy who doesn't look a few years older than him, is it a famous person?
Zhou Rui glanced at Zhang Xuemin, and then said to Kang Shunwei: "Let's talk about it another day, now let's ask Mr. Kang to help identify this red diamond." ”
Kang Shunwei nodded, and Ji Qingyun personally picked up the necklace and cooperated with him for identification.
For true identification, tools such as microscopes are required. But this is a restaurant, which obviously can't be provided, but fortunately, Kang Shunwei, as a professional appraiser, is always used to bringing a high-magnification magnifying glass. It is sufficient for a simple diamond identification.
looked at the red diamond on Ji Qingyun's palm, and the more he looked, the more surprised Kang Shunwei's face became.
Finally, his expression began to be excited, excited.
Red diamonds are very rare colored diamonds, and the yield is so low that it is simply sensational.
The one Zhou Rui took out was not three carats, but it was already very close. In addition to being large, the clarity is also perfect.
What shocked Kang Shunwei the most was that there were more than 200 facets on this heart-shaped red diamond. Because the magnifying glass is not enough, it is impossible to tell how many facets there are, but the eyesight of his chief appraiser is enough to be sure, at least more than two hundred.
Ordinary diamonds, the general facet is only fifty-seven, fifty-eight, can reach more than 100, at least is also a carat diamond, and the cut requirements are extremely high!
The more facets there are, the more light can be reflected and the brighter it will appear.
Kang Shunwei has handled a lot of diamond jewelry, but it is the only one in front of him that is perfect in terms of size, clarity and cut. Most importantly, it is a true top red diamond!
Kang Shunwei, who was excited, couldn't help but look at Zhou Rui and asked: "Mr. Zhou, where did you buy this red diamond? Such clarity and cut are really perfect works of art! However, I have heard of the red diamonds produced in recent years, and I have never heard of such a large one." You're the second largest in the world!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole restaurant was boiling.
Is it really a red diamond?
Oh my God, a red diamond worth 100 million?
The first thought of many people is whether Kang Shunwei is wrong?
But the next moment, they changed their minds, thinking that they were lucky to see such precious jewelry!
Zhang Xuemin and Fu Meiyu, who were no more than two meters away, were even more stunned on the spot.
Kang Shunwei was sure that it was a real top red diamond, which directly made the two of them stunned.
Especially Zhang Xuemin, who just said that it was impossible for someone to walk around the street with precious jewelry worth 100 million, is now full of buzzing in his head.
He had suspected that Kang Shunwei was in charge, but thinking about Fu Meiyu's evaluation of Nanyang International, thinking about Kang Shunwei and the restaurant manager's attitude towards Zhou Rui, he was not sure.
I began to feel a little panicked in my heart, if this was really a red diamond, then who was Zhou Rui, who could take it out casually!
"It can't be true, it's absolutely impossible!" Zhang Xuemin couldn't help but stand up and yell, this was his last struggle.
