Chapter 420: The Diamond Museum
The whole mining area is a spiral-shaped structure, which makes people feel a little weak when you look down, and it is said that the air is closed to the upper part of the mining area, and the strong convection caused by the temperature difference will suck things in the sky into the cavern, which is hundreds of meters deep.
Diamond mining is a lot of work, but the Mali chiefs are willing to spend money, and the museum is open to the public for a fee, so the mine has almost become a famous tourist attraction in the area, and many tourists come to see it every day.
An elevator into the interior of the mine, a museum carved out of the mountain, was designed by a master architect from Europe.
The diamond museum is divided into 4 floors, which are classified according to different qualities, of course, quality is not limited to the quality of the diamond, excellent cutting technology can also greatly increase the value of the diamond.
The Mali Emirates have invited a team from Belgium, the land of diamonds, to turn the diamonds into the most exquisite crafts in their hands at the first time, and they can even cut dozens of facets on a 0.001 carat diamond, which is a miracle!
The first floor is exhibited with more than 2 points and less than 5 carats, the number is relatively largest, and it is sold at a clear price, of course, after this degree of processing, even the smallest diamond is worth more than 20,000 Chinese coins.
On the second floor, there are treasures of more than 5 carats and less than 10 carats, and the diamonds here are also sold, but there is no price tag, if there is a customer who wants to buy it, they need to give their own price, and only if the price is reasonable, the museum will consider selling. Of course, diamonds here can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The third layer of diamonds is not just a treasure, each diamond over 10 carats is considered a rarity, these diamonds are not sold to the public, only the people of the Fang family will take out and use when they need it, each diamond here is worth at least millions of dollars.
As for the fourth floor, which is the most important place in this museum, it is either a masterpiece of more than 50 carats of quality, or a special diamond of exceptional purity and color!
The fourth layer is not even open to ordinary people, if you want to watch, yes, you must first prove that you have a wealth of more than 50 million US dollars or have reached a certain level of status, and the diamond used by Fang Jueyu's eagle vulture of the sun god came out of this place!
"Although our museum is not the largest diamond museum in the world, if you take out the fourth layer of diamonds, you can use them as a treasure in any diamond museum in the world!"
Listening to the introduction of Chief Monchi Mari, not only the girls, but even the boys showed an extremely expectant look, what he meant by this was that he didn't take any diamond museum in the world into account at all!
"We're here!"
Through the long corridors, they came to the entrance of the museum, which was marked by two heavy iron doors, on which was a relief of an eagle, with two red gems on its eyes and countless small diamonds on its wings.
"The eagle has a total of 1,230 diamonds on its wings, with a total value of about $18 million. ”
"This eye is also a diamond?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Yes, beautiful young lady, these two are extremely rare blood diamonds, and the rarest of them among colored diamonds!" Monchi said, "The largest blood diamond in the world is currently 5.11 carats. ”
"Musayev!"
"Yes, this young lady is very knowledgeable!" Jiang Yi was able to call out the name Meng Qi was a little surprised, "Although these two are not as big as 'Musayev', they also weigh more than 3 carats and are worth more than 20 million US dollars. ”
"I'm going, 20 million dollars of diamonds are suddenly used as a gate, aren't you afraid of being stolen?"
"Hahaha, this gentleman said with a smile, the security system of our museum is not weaker than any bank, there is a special team to guard it 24 hours a day, and our Mali chieftain family, no one in this Africa has dared to make up his mind. There was a deep confidence in Monchi's words.
"Monchi, take us inside. ”
"Okay young master, please come with me. Monchi approached the museum staff and didn't know what to say, and the men's eyes were filled with awe, and they immediately pulled out a few badges from a cabinet.
"Young master, the third and fourth floors of the museum are open, and this badge can enter any floor of the museum. ”
"Hmm. Fang Jueyu nodded and gave them the badges.
"Wow!" As soon as they entered the hall on the first floor, the girls' eyes lit up, and under the illumination of these spotlights, the entire floor was nearly 1,000 square meters, and there were sparkling diamonds everywhere.
Some of these diamonds have only been cut, while others have been made into diamond necklaces, earrings, rings and other jewelry, and as for the price on the side, it is natural for those who have just stepped into the workplace to be daunted.
There are a lot of guests on the first floor, and it is estimated that only this first floor is a place where ordinary people can afford to spend, and many tourists have chosen the diamond jewelry they want, and there is a long queue waiting to pay.
"Tut-tut, if someone had given me such a big diamond, I would have married. Jiang Yi said enviously.
"That's because you don't have vision!" Wang Chao said poorly, "If you get Fang Jueyu done in high school, let alone a few diamonds, the entire diamond mine is yours!"
"Hahaha, the words are not rough, it makes sense, and Zhang Meng, Fang Jueyu is sitting at your back table, why haven't you thought about it hahahaha!" Shao Zhou also teased.
"You owe a beating!" The two girls suddenly punched at the two boys, and laughed so hard that Zhang Shiyu trembled.
"Let's go, let's take a look at the layers below!" Fang Jueyu has even seen a lot of diamonds over thirty carats, these things are just ordinary in his eyes, and the layers below are the diamonds that are really valuable for collection.
"Damn, 8-carat diamond ring! This thing can't die on your hand...... Nima, this would cost a million dollars, and it wouldn't be enough to sell me!"
"Sir, this diamond ring is estimated to be worth about $2.1 million!"
"Uh...... Excuse me!"
"I'll go, 10-carat diamond earrings, I don't dare to wear them out of the house!"
"Miss, this pair of diamond drop earrings has been ordered by a princess from the next kingdom for $2.7 million. ”
"Hehehe, I'll take a look, I'll take a look, I don't want to buy it!"
"Oh my God, blue diamonds! What, is the Ocean Star of Titanic a diamond of this color?"
"Yes sir, although it is not as precious as the Star of the Seas, it is also the most valuable diamond necklace of this layer, this blue diamond weighing 9.98 carats, hand-carved by Mr. Bowesel of Belgium, with an estimate of £21 million. ”
"I ...... I'm so poor......"
"Sir, this is just the second floor of the exhibits, although the value is very high, but they can still be bought, from the third floor onwards, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!"
"I must be crazy to let this bastard Fang Jueyu bring us to this kind of place!"
"I think so too......"
