Chapter 814 Diamond Trading (II) [5,000 Words Chapter, Asking for a Monthly Pass]

The lowest starting prices for the diamonds Zhuang Rui was referring to were more than $500,000, including the pink diamond worth $150,000 and the 48-carat diamond. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

William estimated the price in his heart, and the diamond that Zhuang Rui wanted to see was almost more than 50 million US dollars.

In fact, Zhuang Rui is not very interested in the $150,000 pink diamond, because such a diamond, the final bid will definitely be more than $30 million.

Zhuang Rui now has a total of more than 40 million euros left in his hands, which is about 50 or 60 million when converted into US dollars, and if he buys this pink diamond, he will have no funds to purchase other high-quality diamonds.

However, since he came to South Africa, Zhuang Rui naturally wanted to see the unprocessed rough diamonds.

"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, please later, I will bring these diamonds for you right away......"

William wrote down the more than 40 loose diamonds of more than five carats selected by Zhuang Rui, as well as the numbers of the six or seven finest diamonds, and then hurriedly walked out of the office to prepare diamonds for Zhuang Rui to inspect.

After more than 20 minutes, William walked into the office with an apologetic face and said, "Mr. Zhuang, I'm really sorry, because you didn't make an appointment in advance, these diamonds are now being inspected, you need to wait a little longer......"

According to the regulations of the exchange, they will arrange everyone's viewing time according to the application submitted by the licensee, and Zhuang Rui intervened, which naturally disrupted their arrangement, so it is normal for this situation to occur.

"It's okay, Mr. William, please arrange it as soon as possible......"

Zhuang Rui knew the rules, waved his hand to show that he didn't care, as the world's largest diamond trading place, and the annual diamond fair, of course, there are indispensable people to see the goods.

"Definitely, definitely......"

After William went out with a package ticket, Zhuang Rui waited for more than half an hour, except for a white girl with freckles on her face who came in and poured him a glass of water, William never showed up again.

Zhuang Rui waited a little anxiously, stood up and opened the door of the office, and when he was about to inquire, he happened to see William carrying a boxy metal box in his hand, and two black men and a yellow-skinned Arab walked out of another room side by side.

Behind them, there were two white men with submachine guns, compared to the security guards of the exchange.

At the front was an Arab, in his early thirties, with a short head, and a colorful outfit, which was in great contrast to the suits and leather shoes in the diamond exchanges.

A black man behind the Arab young man was pointing at William while walking out, looking unhappy, and William's attitude made Zhuang Rui feel very strange, he actually nodded again and again, and kept saying sorry.

You must know that in South Africa, although blacks are in power, the status of blacks is still very low, and the entire country's economy and energy arteries are in the hands of whites.

Although Mandela abolished most of the white privileges after taking power, the status of whites in South Africa is still very high, and they have always looked at blacks with their nostrils.

William was so respectful to a young black man, and this black man should just be the attendant of the young Arab man, so he couldn't help but let Zhuang Rui look at the Arab man a few more times.

After sending a few people to the door of the exchange, William wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then turned around and walked towards Zhuang Rui with the box.

However, the Arab did not walk out of the exchange, and when he saw William walking towards Zhuang Rui, he suddenly grinned at Zhuang Rui, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Although Zhuang Rui didn't know this person, he still smiled back politely, but what made him angry was that after the Arab laughed, he suddenly raised his right hand, his thumb and index finger were spread, in the shape of a pistol, and he shot at his temple.

"Paralyzed, sick?"

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he saw this person's actions, and then became angry, looking at this person's actions and the unkind look in his eyes, he was not joking with himself.

“f…… u… bsp;

Arabs are rich, but they can't make such insulting gestures to themselves, Zhuang Rui opened his mouth wide, scolded out a sentence in English with his mouth, and then crossed his palm and scratched his throat.

Although Zhuang Rui doesn't want to cause trouble, he is not afraid of things, it's a big deal that he won't participate in this fair, pat his ass and return to China, he doesn't believe that this person can do anything to himself?

After seeing Zhuang Rui's actions, the Arab was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his face showed anger, and he gave Zhuang Rui a thumbs up, then turned his head slightly and said a few words to the black man next to him.

"Zhuang ...... Oh my God, Mr. Zhuang, please come in, come in quickly......"

William walked over in the face of Zhuang Rui, and when he first saw Zhuang Rui make this move, he was still a little puzzled, but when he turned around and saw the young Arab man, his face suddenly showed a frightened look, and he grabbed Zhuang Rui and pushed him into the room.

The room was followed by two armed security guards, whose job was to ensure the safety of the goods during the inspection, and to turn a blind eye to the silent confrontation that had just begun.

"Oh my God, Mr. Zhuang, how could you offend that person?"

After entering the room, William's face was still a little ugly, and he said, "Zhuang, you have to be careful, that person is a villain, he will definitely go to you for trouble......"

"Mr. William, he provoked me first, and he just made a shooting motion at me......"

To be honest, Zhuang Rui was also depressed, who did the buddy provoke whom? That guy made a threatening move to himself for no reason, could it be that he still had to lie down on the ground and cooperate with him?

But to scare William like this, it seems that the Arab seems to be of great origin.

William sighed and said, "Alas, you shouldn't have left the room, then he wouldn't know who was going to see the goods, Zhuang, you don't know much about the diamond trade......"

The reason why the diamond exchange auctions separately and does not allow traders to meet each other is to ensure the best of the customers.

You must know that the diamond trade is often hundreds of millions, and many criminal groups are worried about it, once the news leaks out, I am afraid that it may not be safe to stay in the police station.

"William, tell me who that person is?"

William knows all these Zhuang Rui, but he is not a fairy, he knows that as soon as he goes out, he will meet William and the guests coming out of other rooms?

"He's a general of Liberia...... William said.

"General, so young?"

Zhuang Rui saw that the man was only in his early thirties, and he was actually a general, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Oh my God, he's the son of Kazafi."

William was not satisfied with Zhuang Rui's interruption, and then said: "Do you know who Ka Zafi is? Do you know what kind of power that person has in Africa and the Arab world? Young man, you shouldn't provoke him......

Hearing the name Ka Zafi, Zhuang Rui's face finally changed, although he didn't ask about politics, but he happened to read a book, which was written by the famous journalist Donald Duck, which was some of the documentaries of interviewing Ka Zafi.

Kazafi is a controversial figure, and the world's evaluation of him is mixed. In the eyes of some, he is a "great savior", "national hero", "** leader", while in the eyes of others, he is a "madman", "madman", "terrorist supporter".

But both his supporters and opponents have to admit the fact that Qaddafi led the country of about six million people out of poverty, and in 1981 Liberia became the richest country in Africa with a per capita national income of $11,000.

Even after years of Western economic sanctions, Liberia is one of the richest regions in Africa, with compulsory education and a well-established healthcare system.

Kazafi came to power through a coup d'état, and immediately after coming to power, he expelled the Western forces in the country and implemented **, so to speak, in Liberia, Kazafi is the only God, and is respected by many small African countries.

Such a person who has been hated by Britain, the United States and other Western countries for decades actually lives a good life, and people can't help but admire his strength, but Zhuang Rui provoked his son in Africa, which is not a pleasant thing.

Kazafi's seven sons and one daughter are involved in many industries such as oil, gas, hotels, media, circulation, communications, and social infrastructure.

Libya has proven oil reserves of about 4.3 billion barrels and natural gas reserves of 1.48 trillion cubic meters.

Tens of billions of dollars flow into the pockets of Kamarafi's sons and daughters every year, and it is speculated that the capital invested by Libia abroad is also owned by them, which is about $700 million, and Qaddafi's children have also purchased a large number of properties overseas.

And the person Zhuang Rui saw was Kazafi's youngest son Muta, this guy had a restless and cruel personality, relying on Kazafi's power, he did all kinds of evil in Lybia, and was accused of beating his entourage during his stay in Switzerland, and was "retained" by the Swiss police, and Saddam's son Uday had a fight.

"Zhuang, I suggest that you leave here after the bidding opens tomorrow, so that Muta can't do anything to you......"

After introducing Muta to Zhuang Rui's character, William kindly persuaded Zhuang Rui, he has been working here for five or six years, and he knows the lawless deeds of the children of these African countries, even if Muta kills people in South Africa, he also has diplomatic immunity.

"Thanks, William, I'll seriously consider your suggestion......"

Paralyzed, this Muta is a princeling of Libya? Zhuang Rui was a little depressed in his heart, if the buddy was serious, he could be regarded as the third generation of officials in the country, right? Why haven't they enjoyed such treatment?

But Zhuang Rui is not afraid of that Muta, tomorrow after opening the bid in the afternoon, he will pat his ass and leave at night, anyway, when he goes back, he doesn't go through the airspace of Libya, no matter how capable that guy is, he can't send fighter jets over other countries to knock himself down, right?

Besides, it is only a day before the bid is opened, and I am afraid that before Muta finds out his origin, Zhuang Rui is already on his way home.

"Zhuang, as a friend, I still hope you can pay attention to safety......"

William saw that Zhuang Rui was a little disapproving, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he knew that Muta was very small-minded, and he would repay him.

There was once a Western journalist who reported some negative news about Muta in the newspaper, and Muta hired a hitman to shoot the reporter in the street, which caused an uproar* in Western countries.

However, because Kazafi has always been a disobedient to Western countries, in the end the matter was not resolved, but Muta did not dare to go to Western countries again, otherwise he would be charged.

Muta, who has been nesting in Africa and Arab countries, has been bored for a few years, but he actually started a diamond business, and with the help of his strong financial resources and his father's prestige in Africa, he monopolized the rough diamonds in many countries.

Of course, South Africa's domestic forces are complex, and Muta does not have the power to monopolize the diamond business in South Africa.

"Thanks, let's look at the diamonds first......"

Zhuang Rui doesn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, even if he is afraid of him, won't he leave tomorrow?

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, William took out a magnetic key and inserted it into a hole in the metal box on the table, while a security guard behind him also took out a key and inserted it into another keyhole.

After William and the security guard twisted the key at the same time, there was a "snap" at the nose of the metal box, and the lid of the metal box moved slightly upward.

William let go of his body, put the front of the metal box at Zhuang Rui, and said, "Mr. Zhuang, these are all diamonds that you need to inspect, but you only have thirty minutes to inspect the goods, because there are still people below who make appointments, and this is already the longest time I can arrange......"

"I think thirty minutes should be enough......"

After Zhuang Rui opened the metal box, inside the metal box was a small lattice that could be folded like a drawer, and with the lifting of the lid of the box, six lattice drawers made of black metal appeared in front of Zhuang Rui.

On each level of the lattice, there is a note with Arabic numerals indicating the reserve price of the diamonds in the box.

At the top of the box, there is also a magnifying glass and a clip, which are the tools provided by the exchange to the client to check the diamond, of course, the client can also bring his own tools.

Zhuang Rui came in a hurry today, didn't bring anything, picked up the magnifying glass at the moment, and opened the top grid

"This is the rough diamond?"

In the first drawer, there are eighteen rough stones weighing more than 10 carats, which are different from the diamonds that Zhuang Rui has seen before, although these rough stones are also crystal clear, but they do not have the luster of the processed diamonds, and they are not faceted, and the shape of the diamonds is also extremely irregular.

"Mr. Zhuang, these are flawless D-grade diamonds, with a purity of VVS1 level, I believe they can satisfy you ......," William introduced to Zhuang Rui on the side.

"Well, I'll take a look at ...... first"

Zhuang Rui picked up a rough stone only the size of a soybean grain with a clamp, took it to his eyes, and carefully examined it with a magnifying glass.

After Zhuang Rui separated a stream of aura and entered this diamond, he suddenly felt a cold aura, he had used the aura to check the diamond before, and knew that this was a unique aura of diamonds.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, Zhuang Rui after looking at the first diamond, he used the aura to sweep the box he pulled out, carefully distinguished the strength of the aura contained in these diamonds, and then used the clip to pull out the twelve, these twelve rough stones are relatively strong aura.

Zhuang Rui pretended to inspect the twelve rough stones, took out the quotation, filled in his own auction bid, sealed it and handed it to William, while William took out a small black bag, put the diamonds inside, and put them back in the box.

In the lower compartments, there are not so many diamonds, there are only three diamonds on the second floor, and the reserve price is already more than half a million US dollars, while the lower layers are all placed with a diamond, and in the bottom box, the colored diamond is placed.

This diamond weighs 78.2 carats, and the whole diamond is pink in color, even if it is not opened and polished, it exudes a brilliant pink luster, as if there is a halo on the outside of the diamond, which is very beautiful.

Of course, the price of beauty is that the bottom auction price of this pink diamond is as high as 150,000 US dollars, Zhuang Rui finally shook his head and gave up after looking at it for a long time, because the diamonds in the upper drawers have made Zhuang Rui consume all the funds he brought this time.

In order for Ming'er to win the bid and leave this damn place, Zhuang Rui's offer is 30% higher than the market price, and if there are no surprises, he should be able to win the diamonds except this pink diamond.

If Zhuang Rui had the patience to wait another week or two, maybe he could have spent nearly 10 million euros less to buy the same diamond, but after yesterday's events and the arrogance of African princelings today, Zhuang Rui would rather spend more money and leave Africa as soon as possible.

"Mr. Zhuang, I hope you can win the bid smoothly tomorrow, and I still have customers to entertain, so I will send you here......"

After Zhuang Rui finished all the bids, William re-locked the box and sent Zhuang Rui to the door of the exchange.

(ps: 5,000 words, I just read it, and today I am still 1o short of a monthly pass to 1oo votes, and then 3,000 words to 1oo, everyone has a monthly pass recommendation vote to vote.) ）
