In the impression of all of us, diamonds seem to be very expensive, in fact, we are all misled by the merchants, how much is a diamond weighing one carat with a good cut and a transparent and flawless color, on the Rappaport diamond trading system?

In 2010, it was worth about 30,000 yuan, and a 2-carat loose diamond was only worth about 200,000 yuan, and in 1991 it was even cheaper......

This is the real wholesale cost of a one-carat diamond, and by the time it reaches consumers, it has become about 100,000 yuan.

The price of rough uncut diamonds is only one-tenth of that of loose diamonds, which has dropped to less than $1,000.

＊＊＊＊

"Why is the price of rough diamonds so low?" Jia Lei asked.

"Because the shape of the rough is irregular, the cutting is a big loss! If the shape is not suitable for cutting, it may cost 70%, and we have no ability to cut in China, so we can only sell the rough diamond at a low price. Uncle Imirang explained to Jia Lei.

"Then I don't want to buy a loss, I spent 500,000 US dollars to buy more than 400 rough diamonds!" Jia Lei asked angrily.

"It's a loss! They sold you at the official price, and you said why didn't you ask the price before you came? Otherwise, you can buy a one-carat diamond for half the price. Uncle Imiran said.

"If I hadn't been able to go out now, I would have definitely gone to settle accounts with them!" Jia Lei said, looking at the eight bodyguards in the living room.

Jia Lei was afraid of death, and after getting so many diamonds, he hired eight local gangster-born bodyguards in one go!

"The water in the diamond industry is too deep, you shouldn't be reckless if you don't understand! And you're a kid and you're easy to deceive!" said Uncle Imirang.

"Forget it! I can't fight others, and I'm not ashamed to buy a rough diamond of more than one carat for $1,000! It's a big deal that I cut and polish it myself and sell it as a ring, so that I can sell it for at least $20,000 in our country. Jia Lei said that Huaxia's diamond cutting ability is no worse than Ah San, and after a few years, when everyone is rich, Jia Lei's diamonds can be sold 20 times.

"You don't have much to lose! I looked at the quality and shape of these diamonds, and they all cut loose diamonds of more than one carat. Uncle Imiran said.

After all, Jia Lei looks like a stupid layman with a lot of money, Minas Dack and Shelly left room when they went under the knife and didn't want to scare Jia Lei away, after all, there are seven or eight diamond mines around here, and if Jia Lei runs away, it will be cheaper for others.

"Actually, there are too many people staring at the Peace Diamond Mine, every move will be noticed, and the price of his diamonds is more expensive than other places, I know people from several other diamond mines nearby, why don't we go there and buy them." Uncle Imirang suggested that Jia Lei also felt that he should change to a more low-key place.

A few days later, Mr. Jia received an invitation to band up for a small underground auction at several nearby diamond mines.

"Underground auctions?Isn't our current transaction already an underground transaction?Why do we need to hold a separate auction?" Jia Lei said as he shook his head and counted the diamonds he had just received today, and the four former KGB agents brought by Farr stood behind him.

Because there are more and more people around him, Jia Lei has to buy a three-story villa locally, but according to the local climate, the next floor of the house will be stuck in the mud when it thaws, and this floor cannot be lived.

"I know that, they said that this is a rough auction above the gem level, and we are not the only ones who have been invited, all the powerful rough diamond buyers in this city have been invited. Farr said that Jia Lei only called him alone this time.

"Gem grade, that is, all of them are rough diamonds above two carats?" Jia Lei asked, since he suffered a loss, he has been making up for the basic knowledge of diamonds for the past few days.

"Yes boss! I suggest you go this time, this level of diamonds is hard to find, as long as you can transfer it to dozens of times more than the price after a simple beat!" said Farr.

"How can there be so many? Doesn't it mean that rough diamonds are more than ten times more profitable?" Jia Lei asked.

"More than ten times the profits, the second-hand dealers earned, we are first-hand!" said Farr.

"You're wrong! We're buying black hand goods, and the price is cheaper than the first hand goods. Jia Lei raised his head and said with a smile.

"Oh, if I don't make tens of millions of dollars this time, I'm sorry, I came to this cold place myself, you see those big jewelers can't bear to come here and suffer, so they can only take second-hand goods. Jia Lei said with his feet crossed.

Those people were so afraid of death that they didn't dare to come to the Soviet Union, especially in Siberia. Fall said.

The murderous methods of the Russian gangsters are internationally renowned, and a businessman from country M thought that he was not in agreement with his partner, and he was shot in the street the next day.

"No, the big jewelers out there are third-hand goods, and the mine managers will secretly keep the biggest and best ore for this kind of private auction, and some rough diamonds will not appear on their buying list at all. Uncle Imiran said that people above have done this kind of thing a lot in recent years.

"It seems that I am destined to get rich!" Jia Lei said happily.

The auction was held in a three-story tavern, and Jia Lei saw a scene that was not low-key at all when he came to the tavern by car that day.

"There are a hundred bodyguards outside in total, right?" Jia Lei asked as he looked at the row of bodyguards standing outside the door of the tavern.

"123 people. Kerr said he was the head of Jia Lei's bodyguard.

"Huh, these people are too scared to death, aren't they? Just to buy something, do you need to bring so many bodyguards? Jia Lei glanced at the door with disdain, opened the door and got out of the car.

"I'm sorry, but there are rules on it. Each person can only bring two bodyguards and one companion inside. The plainclothes receptionist at the door of the tavern said that Jia Lei knew that he was from the army when he saw his straight back.

"Father Farr and Kerr, you come in with me, and ......" Jia Lei turned around and chose a bodyguard.

"I'll go!" Gu Sila squeezed up and said, he was the small leader of the gang's bodyguards hired by Jia Lei.

"You...... It's not suitable for this kind of business situation, right?" Jia Lei said euphemistically.

Gu Sila is one meter tall, nine meters tall, bearded, bald, and has a centipede scar on the right side of his face, at first glance, he is not a good person, and Jia Lei feels that he will be regarded as a terrorist.

"Boss, I found that there are a lot of idle people in this neighborhood, and there are a few people from the gang who are still not in the stream, these people are so shameless that they don't follow the rules, I'm afraid that someone wants to take the idea of you rich people and goods, and I will follow your spies to see and review it!" said Guciera, this wild dog-like gang is the most dangerous.

"Are you saying that someone wants to rob the kidnapping ticket?" asked Jia Lei in surprise.

"This happens all the time! Most of the time they get the ransom and tear up the ticket. Gusila said.

"Hey, no wonder everyone brought so many bodyguards!" Jia Lei gasped and said.

"Boss, you seem to have a lot of bodyguards, don't you worry, we have more than a dozen bodyguards!" said Farr comforting Jia Lei.

Yes, Jia Lei, a ghost who is afraid of death, dislikes the many bodyguards brought by others, and on the other hand, he must bring twelve bodyguards when he goes out.

"Isn't there too many bad guys in Siberia! Jia Lei touched his nose and said.

"The boss must not forget that Siberia is a penal colony, and a third of the people here are exiled prisoners, and many of the remaining people are descendants of prisoners. Good people are in the minority here!" said Gucila.

"No, aren't most of the people here ordinary herdsmen and miners?" Jia Lei asked in surprise.

"Ordinary people don't go to mining, and many of the workers in the diamond mines are prisoners who are serving prison sentences, and most of them have been prisoners of war captured during World War II for 30 years. Gusila said.

"Damn, really?" asked Jia Lei.

"You have to be honest, if you are caught, you will be sold into the mine as a slave. The Chechens have recently sold a lot of white slaves to come to mine...... "Gusila said to Jia Lei as he walked, and Jia Lei couldn't help but sigh after hearing the situation in Siberia.

This place is so complicated! With a total population of less than 100,000, there are so many ethnic factions!

"Welcome to the auction, which is a small auction held by several mines in our vicinity, and the people who come here are more powerful businessmen. The minimum transaction amount between each merchant and us is more than $1,000,000. That's why we're launching a special gem-quality rough diamond auction this time!" said the owner of the auction.

Recently, the situation has been tense, and several nearby diamond mines have begun to transfer personnel, and the original leaders of these mines are staging the final madness, which used to only occasionally stealthily intercept one or two pieces of gem-quality rough diamonds, and now has changed to blatantly intercept a large number of gem-quality rough diamonds.

"The situation in Moscow has been particularly tense lately, and I'm afraid I can't take care of you anymore, that's why you dare to hold an auction so blatantly, right?" asked a businessman from country M.

"Yes! Several people decided to sell their diamonds and settle abroad, and this time they all took out the best diamonds they had saved for decades. Said the owner of the auction.

"Without further ado, let's get started!" said a Jewish businessman.

Jia Lei watched this particular auction inexplicably - for a layman, he simply couldn't adapt to the auction rules of rough diamonds.

"Is it just for sale? no one shouts and no one bids?" Jia Lei asked, staring at the row of small boxes on the table in front of him.

"Yes! This is the rule of the rough diamond auction, the price is written on the front of the box, if you like it, you can take it directly, this is our rule here! First, you must not look at it, and second, you must not touch the rough diamond in the box with your hands. A waiter explained to Jia Lei.

"But if you don't let you see it, how do you know what's inside? What if there are defective products inside or the diamonds below are relatively small?

"Boss, if you still want to participate in this kind of auction, you have to buy a little bit this time. Gu Sila whispered in Jia Lei's ear, the poor man's waist has to be bent to reach Jia Lei's ears.

"Why?" asked Jia Lei puzzled.

"Anyone who comes and doesn't buy, or bargains, will be expelled from the ranks of first-class sightsees next time. Gu Sila said that once he was expelled from the team of first-class sight sellers, Jia Lei would have to buy this kind of gem-quality diamond in the future, so he could only buy it from the second-class dealers.

"Damn! This is still a forced buy and sell!" Jia Lei said angrily. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
