After confirming Xiao Peng's statement, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Xiao Peng. This Nima is a box, all pink diamonds, green diamonds, black diamonds, red diamonds, yellow diamonds, blue diamonds, and purple diamonds, and the size is not small.

If you take out any one here, it can attract the attention of countless people, but Xiao Peng was good and took out a box directly.

"Why do you look at me like this? You should know the value of this diamond better than I do, okay?" Xiao Peng had a speechless expression.

"Xiao, when I heard you say this, I want to beat you up more than ever. No matter how rare a diamond is, this good thing is a good thing, and such a large diamond with such good quality is a treasure wherever it is placed!" said Padgio.

Armand nodded desperately.

Xiao Peng stared at Armand viciously: "Do you still dare to nod? I'll take these stones." ”

"Don't!" Armand was anxious: "I didn't want to beat you up with my nod, I said that these diamonds are treasures!"

Xiao Peng pointed at Padgio: "He wants to beat me." ”

Armand said to Pagio, "Page, if you want to hurt my dear Xiao, step over my corpse first. ”

"Damn, what about your discipline!" said Pagio.

Armand pointed to the diamonds on the table and said, "Look at these diamonds, can you still keep the discipline?"

Pagio sighed, "Well, if it were me, I wouldn't have it either." ”

Armand picked up a red diamond the size of a quail's egg and said, "See not? Such a big red diamond! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was real!"

Red diamonds are classified according to their color into blood red and purplish red, and are the most precious and rare of the most precious and rare colored diamonds. So far, only a few have been found in the whole world. The largest of them is 13.9 carats, but there are many flaws, and in the end, it is only 5.11 carats------ which is really small compared to other colors.

But don't underestimate them because they're small, after all, scarcity is expensive, and at a jewelry fair in Paris in 1989, a 2.23-carat blood diamond named 'Raghi' sold for $42 million.

Look at Xiao Peng's rough red diamonds here, all of them look like more than ten carats, and there are as many as seven or eight grains. That alone is enough for the ladies to go crazy.

However, it is still Pagio who knows Xiao Peng better, so he patted Armand on the shoulder: "Armand, calm down, don't you know Xiao Peng yet? He can take out these gems, it only shows one problem, that is, he has better, the last black Opal, didn't he keep the best for himself?"

Rebecca looked at it for a long time: "The orange diamond he took out that day is not here." ”

Armand looked at Xiao Peng suspiciously, and Xiao Peng shrugged: "I must leave something for future generations!" He did not deny this. Hexagonal crystalline meteorite diamonds he kept as souvenirs. People always have to keep something good for themselves, don't they?

Armand shook his head: "Xiao, I won't ask you what you left, and I won't ask if you still have it, I just want to ask, what do you want to do with these diamonds?"

Xiao Peng smiled evilly: "What do you say, what is the best way to deal with these diamonds?"

Armand said with a look of abrupt realization: "No wonder you took these diamonds out. That's why. ”

Xiao Peng shrugged, who doesn't want to make more?

Pagio grinned, "Huh, does that mean I can also take advantage of the fire?"

"Otherwise, why did I call you?" Xiao Peng did not deny.

Rebecca was confused: "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Peggy, you explain it to him." I'll take a stroll first. See what you can take from Armand. ”

After hearing this, Armand said: "Just look at it, I'll give you a ninety-nine discount!"

Xiao Peng raised his middle finger: "Be careful that I empty it for you!" After speaking, he went out for a walk. The diamonds were on the table.

Rebecca watched Xiao Peng just walk out like this, and asked puzzledly, "Did he just walk out like this?"

Armand said: "Rebecca, you don't know Xiao this person, this is a very casual person, and it is a very pleasant thing to be friends with him. He attaches more importance to his mood than money, and his happiness is the most important thing for him. ”

Pagio nodded: "Of course, don't be an enemy with him, don't make him angry, that's a good friend, but if you provoke him, the result is not good." You must remember that don't speak ill of Huaxia in front of him, this is the basic premise of interacting with him.

"Yes, yes, that's a standard chauvinist. Armand nodded.

Pagio shook his head: "I can't say that. The point is that there have always been people demonizing Huaxia. Nobody knows about that country. There are too many misunderstandings about that country. I don't know what others think, like Xiao, Yang, Di and other Chinese people, they are all very good friends in my eyes. Huaxia should be much better than I imagined, I have already decided with Miao Miao, the last stop of our trip is Huaxia, to get to know that country well. ”

Rebecca coughed dryly: "Uncle Pagio, I want to know, what kind of dumb riddle did Xiao play with you just now?"

Armand laughed: "It's because of the Kimberley Process Agreement." Do you think you can sell diamonds if you have them? No, every batch of rough diamonds must be encapsulated in a loss-proof container with a Kimberley Process certificate issued by the exporting government. All rough diamond exports to non-Kimberley Process members are prohibited. ”

"Of course, there is no problem without a Kimberley Process certificate, which has only 81 member states. Large quantities of diamonds can be circulated through non-member countries. But...... Let's just say that in order to save costs, almost all jewelers have their own channels for the purchase of special diamonds, uh, like I said earlier, through non-member channels, and 。。。。。。 Armand shrugged: "It is not difficult for us to get the Kimberley Process certificate at all, and it will not cost a few dollars to reap the rewards." ”

"Besides, even if the export of diamonds from Sierra Leone and Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, Brazil and other countries is banned, there is a steady flow of diamonds from these countries. Even without the Kimberley Process certificate, there are now many diamond smugglers in Africa. ”

Armand didn't hide it from Rebecca, after all, he was Richard Branson's daughter, and Virgin Group also owned a jewelry company, so Rebecca only needed to go home and ask her father, and the door would be clear.

Rebecca was puzzled and asked, "Then since this problem can be easily solved without a Kimberley Process certificate, then why is Xiao willing to let you kill him?"

Pagio thought for a moment and gave the answer: "From what I know about him, I can think of three reasons: first, as I said earlier, it is a pleasure to be friends with him, and second, he is a person who likes to share, let's share his happiness together." The third and most important point is that he is a Chinese. ”

"What does selling diamonds have to do with Chinese people?" asked Rebecca, puzzled.

"It's very simple, now China is the chair of the Kimberley Process. Xiao is sometimes dismissive of the rules, and sometimes he takes certain rules seriously, especially when he is in a foreign country, especially to abide by their domestic laws and regulations. Pagio said.

Armand said indignantly: "He threw trouble at us, he obeyed the rules, but let us not follow the rules, this guy is very bad!"

"Well, how did Huaxia have anything to do with the Kimberley Process? I didn't hear that there were big diamond mines in Huaxia?"

"Huaxia is the world's second largest diamond jewelry consumer market and the second largest diamond processing center, and it is also an important diamond rough trading country, so it is not surprising to participate in the creation of the Kimberley process.

Rebecca thought for a moment and then asked, "No, if he sells these diamonds through you, he must be making more money than if he sells them himself, right?"

Pagio snapped his fingers: "You're right, you can indeed sell for more money, but maybe others are doing it for money, but for Xiao, this is the least likely." ”

Rebecca was stunned, looked at Pagio and said, "Uncle Pagio, don't tell me that he is richer than you!?"

Pagio shook his head: "No, no, no, he doesn't have money from us, but he doesn't care about money at all, in his words, many things in the world are more important than money." Money, just enough money. Oh, Rebecca, I don't think I told you yet. That 'Huaxia' is not my ship, but his. He lent it to us for free for travel. ”

"Can you lend out such a good boat for free?" Rebecca's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

Pagio shrugged: "I said, he has a lot of things in his eyes that are more important than money. It's a pleasure to be his friend. However, Armand, Xiao has given us a problem this time, how do you think it is better to solve the problem?"

Armand was testing the quality of the diamonds with Douglas, and when he heard Padgio's question, he sighed: "Things are indeed a bit troublesome, if there is only that yellow diamond, it will be easy to solve, but now it is more troublesome to get back such a bunch of super diamonds." What do you think about this?"

Rebecca was curious again: "Uncle Pagio, I don't understand, why the more good diamonds, the more trouble?"

Pagio said: "It's not because of the Kimberley Process agreement? The reality is not that you watch Hollywood movies, and those jewelry thieves in the movies steal bags of diamonds, but in reality, there are no jewelry thieves who steal diamonds, because they can't sell them." It's often seen in movies that someone steals a bag of diamonds and says they're worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but if you actually sell them, you have to thank God for selling them for a million dollars. ”

Armand nodded: "Why is there a ranking of all the top diamonds in the world? The reason is simple, it is to ensure that every precious diamond has a record." And almost all precious diamonds are traded through auctions, in order to highlight the value of the diamond, Tiffany's yellow diamond has been in their home for more than 100 years, no matter what difficulties Tiffany encounters, it does not say that this is the reason for selling the diamond. In the end, it is to ensure that the top diamonds can be seen by all, so as to increase the market price of diamonds, not to disrupt the market price. ”

"But didn't you just say that you can apply for a Kimberley Process certificate for diamonds of unknown origin?" Rebecca asked Armand.

Armand sighed: "Of course, ordinary diamonds are fine, but these top diamonds 。。。。。。 It's still such a lot, and no one dares to give them a fake certificate. And there is a very heavy problem before us. ”

Pagio nodded, "yes, that's the biggest trouble." ”

Rebecca asked, "What's more troublesome?"

"Of course, that's the most troublesome thing. Armand replied.

Pagio replied to Rebecca: "There is a rule for everything in the world, although the Kimberley Process Agreement has caused us great trouble in this matter, but in normal times, we are all beneficiaries of the Kimberley Process Agreement, so we still have to maintain the Kimberley Process Agreement, if we do not abide by this agreement, we will be run to death by all the capital circles and peers, because we will harm the interests of too many people." That's why I said that Xiao has a big problem for us. ”

The door was opened, and one of the bodyguards said, "Ms. Miao Miao is here." ”

"Please come in, please come in. Armand said.

I saw Miao Miao walking in with two big dogs, but his eyes ignored everyone at all, he walked to the diamond, directly reached out and picked up a pink diamond and put it in his hand to look at it, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly laughed: "What about Xiao? This pink diamond is mine! I don't care what Chanel 'forever diamond' or Hermes 'Birkin' is, even if it's 'One Thousand and One Nights' together! With this pink diamond in my hand, I can completely make them all worship us Prada!"

The three bags mentioned by Miu Miu are the world's most famous three handbags, Chanel's "forever diamonds" are only thirteen, made of crocodile leather, inlaid with 334 diamonds, and even the shoulder strap is made of 18 karat gold! And "Birkin" is a series of Hermes, including a commemorative edition of the "Birkin bag", the whole bag is made of white gold, using 2182 diamonds, a total weight of 208 carats, the largest one is eight carats, the chain is removed is a diamond necklace or bracelet; One Thousand and One Nights, handcrafted from 18-carat yellow gold, 4,517 diamonds were used, including 105 yellow, 56 pink and 4,356 white, for a total weight of 381.92 carats. However, the traditional 'bag king' Prada has never launched a similar bag.

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Armand listened to Miao's words, and suddenly clapped his hands: "I have an idea! As long as Xiao is not in a hurry to use the money, I have a way to whitewash these diamonds." ”
