Chapter Seventy-Two: Where Wealth Rises (Ask for Collections, Recommendations, and Books)

"It's a good thing! It's a pity that it's not a set! There's also a pair of earrings missing......," said the manager of the gold store, who was specially invited by the bank to appraise Jia Lei's set of pink diamond jewelry.

The price of Jia Lei's other things has come out, and the bank has given a price of 800,000. The value of this set of pink diamond jewelry was not certain, so they found a manager of a gold shop and an expert from Hong Kong Island, and the two of them reached an agreement on the color grade of the gemstone after research. But they did disagree on the pricing -

The manager of the domestic gold store gave a high price of 2 million, while the expert from Hong Kong Island gave another price.

"Ten million. The Hong Kong Island expert slowly spit out three words, and Jia Lei suddenly felt that his heart was about to jump out!

"U.S. dollars!" The Hong Kong Island expert looked at what everyone could afford at this price, and then relieved to spit out the unit behind the number.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Goo!".

There was a flurry of sounds in the room, someone dropping a teacup, someone rolling to the floor, and someone hitting the table.

Jia Lei got up from the ground with difficulty, rubbed his eyes vigorously and slapped himself hard.

"It hurt......s! It seems that I am not dreaming!" Jia Lei touched his face and said.

"It's just a diamond necklace, it can't be so expensive! What is the reason?" asked the manager of the gold shop, and the others thought so.

"Although you are also in the business of a gold shop, after all, you are in charge of administrative sales, and you don't know much about gem identification. Gemstones, especially diamonds, have a great impact on the price in terms of color! Pink diamonds are definitely rare gemstones! Two years ago, a pink diamond ring auctioned by Sotheby's sold for a high price of $4.5 million, but its ring gem was about one carat smaller than the gem of this ring. Not to mention the three center diamonds on the necklace, each of which weighs more than ten carats. $10 million is just the price of the collateral, and if you are willing to put it up for auction, you can at least fetch more than $15 million!" said an expert on Hong Kong Island, saying that in terms of understanding of the international gem market, China is far inferior to Hong Kong Island at this time.

The director of the bank paused and pushed the full set of jewelry towards Jia Lei.

"The valuation of this thing is too high, and our bank is short of funds and can't afford to collect it! I guess other banks in China can't afford it now, so you might as well take it back." The director glanced at Jia Lei and said.

Heaven and earth! Jia Lei now wants to grab his head on the ground and cry bitterly, he wants to use his teeth to bite those big diamonds apart, so that he can take out a loan.

"If you want to auction this little boy, we will be happy to serve you! We can even hold a gemstone exhibition for this beautiful piece of jewelry to increase its price and reputation! We can also contact top auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. The Hong Kong Island expert said politely.

Jia Lei shook his head angrily and refused, where is the price of gemstones now-after 2000, the price of colored gemstones, especially diamonds, has doubled, I don't know how much, and the entertainment headlines are the most favorite jewelry of female celebrities.

"I don't want to sell this jewelry! I'm going to ...... If I give birth to a son, I will be a family heirloom. Jia Lei said, the soft and cute daughter is the cutest!

"Let's take out a loan at the price given by domestic experts!" Jia Lei said dejectedly, but this little request was also on a business trip.

"If it's a private loan of less than one million, I can make the decision myself, and if it exceeds one million, I have to apply with the bank!" said the director of the loan department, Jia Lei was completely speechless.

I think about the time when I was YY, when the loan in the book was not tens of millions or hundreds of millions, but the fact is that the bank does not have so much liquidity now.

"Do you think this application can be approved?" Jia Lei asked tentatively, and the director smiled at him.

"Is that what you mean? Looks like it's going to be out of the way. Jia Lei thought to himself.

"Don't make it so troublesome to apply, you just take me to the president and ask and give me an answer. Jia Lei said helplessly, time is money, and he can't afford to wait now.

The director happily agreed to Jia Lei's request and took him to meet the president, and after listening to them, the president asked them to go out first and say that they wanted to think about it.

After Jia Lei went out, the president made a phone call: "Hey, is it Mayor Zhao's house?......?"

Jia Lei and Little Jew walked out of the bank empty-handed, don't get me wrong, it's not that they didn't get the money. Everyone is familiar with dealing with a department like a bank in a hurry - it takes several days for the other party to go through the process at the first level, and the bank gave them a reply that they should come and withdraw money after next Tuesday.

"Bang dang! Bang dang!" Jia Lei was looking out of the car window in a daze, Ah Fei and they didn't want to wait for next week, anyway, they now have tens of thousands of yuan in their hands, so they decided to go to N County to explore the road first, and earn some travel expenses by the way.

Because Mingzhu City is too far to take a train for five or six days to N County, Ah Fei and the others didn't care about saving money this time and directly chartered a sleeper car. They had more than 100,000 cash on them, it was too unsafe outside, but the sleeper compartment was much safer.

Jia Lei can't follow me this time, it's really that place in N County is too remote! I can't find it on the national map, I can only find it on the provincial map, the key is that I can't buy a train ticket in this place in N County! I can only take a bus from other cities to transfer to it.

Jia Lei went to lead the way and introduced his relatives to Ah Fei by the way, and he also shouldered the important task of helping Sanni bring New Year's goods home.

"What's in your bag, why is it so heavy?" asked Ah Fei. He and Dasha came in with a big bag, and they could smell a fishy smell from a distance, and everyone avoided them, but then they were similar to travelers who went out to work or went home to visit relatives, and they would not easily attract the attention of thieves.

"I don't know if Sanni asked me to bring it. Jia Lei shook his head and said.

"Yuyuan Mall's shredded squid! I know it as soon as I smell it. Hua Kai didn't ask, he opened the bag directly, and took out a pack of shredded squid from it, and ate it, Dasha smelled it, and just wanted to eat shredded squid, he was snatched by Hong Chen.

"Don't touch other people's things casually, this is something that Sanni brought can't eat. After Hong Chen finished speaking, Hua Kai glanced at him, this bad habit of his is really bad.

Jia Lei looked very angry, but he couldn't quarrel with Hua Kai just because of a pack of shredded squid! Originally, he and Hua Kai were not as familiar as others, so he had to endure something. Jia Lei directly opened his bag, took out peanuts, melon seeds, tea eggs, and vacuum-packed roast chicken from it and pushed it over.

"If you want to eat it, I've got it here! Don't touch that bag, okay? It's for someone else. ”

The train waited all the way for five days before finally arriving in Harbin, and several people got off the train, they had to go to Harbin first, and then transfer trains from Harbin to get to the nearest Sui (sui) Fenhe railway station to N County.

"I want to eat pork stewed vermicelli!" said Jia Lei, who was slamming the door at the door of a small restaurant in the station hall, drooling inside.

The smell of sauerkraut in the Northeast is definitely the most attractive taste of his hometown, and Jia Lei, a northerner, has not smelled sauerkraut for several months! Now as soon as this smell comes out, he can't walk, and he smells it at the door.

"We'll have dinner later, let's buy tickets first. Ah Fei said, Jia Lei shook his head at the door and didn't let go, there was no way, they had to divide into two ways, stay here all the way to accompany Jia Lei to eat, and go all the way to buy train tickets.

"Brother Fei, when will there be a train station in this N county......? It's so offended!" Hua Kai said stumblingly when he came back from buying the ticket.

"Hua Kai, what's wrong with you?" Ah Fei asked puzzled.

"It's so cold outside!I almost didn't freeze to death!" Hua Kai said, wrapping up his clothes.

Jia Lei looked up at the ceiling, not knowing whether to tell Huakai that there was a railway station in N County during the Qing Dynasty, but until he was reborn, the railway station in N County never stopped passenger trains.

**

This is a place in N County...... Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one road to the outside world!

This is a place that is obscure and remote to the extreme, and probably at this time in 1990, no one knew that there was such a county-level city - or a provincial-level municipality at this time, except for people from the government department and Sui.

Jia Lei thought silently!

"The boss lady will bring me ten little two!" Jia Lei shouted at the chubby boss lady.
