A variety of rare diamonds, including the "Rose Star", "Simis Deep Blue Diamond Ring", "Lucky Gold Diamond", and "Tears of the Goddess (White Diamond)", have been announced.

Sotheby's valued the diamonds at $160 million, and the news immediately attracted worldwide attention.

In recent years, there has been a lot of hype about diamonds, "diamonds are eternal, and one is forever".

What is the intrinsic meaning of this advertising slogan? It is to let you keep the diamond and do not throw it away, otherwise the market price of the diamond will not be stable.

Until more than 100 years ago, diamonds were found in only a handful of Indian rivers and in the jungles of Brazil, and only a few kilograms of gem-quality diamonds were produced each year. At that time, diamonds were just a type of gemstone. However, in 1870 a huge diamond mine was discovered in the Orange-River in South Africa, and the output could be measured in tons. Overnight, the market was flooded with diamonds.

The British investors behind the South African mines are scared that diamonds have no use value, and the high price is entirely because of their rarity, and with the development of new mines in South Africa, diamonds will sooner or later fall into ordinary gemstones.

In response, the major investors in these diamond mines merged their assets to create a separate entity that controlled production and maintained the public perception of diamond scarcity. This entity is De-Beers, founded in South Africa in 1888. De-Beers monopolized the global diamond trade by setting up trading companies in various countries.

In 1939, due to the economic downturn, De-Beers had to cut its production by 90% at that time, and in order to impress the world's demand for diamonds, it played the classic slogan "A-diamond-is-forever", and successfully sold diamonds to the public, so that the price of diamonds went all the way up, and finally formed the diamond market with a high monopoly today.

There is no doubt that De-Beers' control of diamonds has been very successful.

While the prices of other commodities, whether gold, silver, copper, rubber, grains, or oil, fluctuate greatly with economic conditions, only diamonds have been able to rise steadily since the 30s. Its control over prices is so strong that during the high inflation in the United States in the 70s, some people even used diamonds to preserve their value.

In recent years, online consulting has developed, and it is not that no one has targeted diamond marketing, especially after watching the movie "Flawless", you may feel that diamonds are like.

But those that can be hyped will always be small carats of broken diamonds, because the reserves and production of broken diamonds the size of rice grains and mung beans are quite large. If the supply is completely open, the price of diamond rings will really fall into shit.

And these large, giant and even super giant diamonds like Chen Ergou's hands have been rare treasures since ancient times. Maybe in the future, someone can invent artificial diamonds, and maybe they will depreciate in value, but at least for now they are unique treasures.

As soon as the news was announced, the world was shocked, and there was no lack of envy and jealousy in addition to shock.

Later, it was also announced and displayed, as well as the stone tablet carved with Greek pirate poems that appeared as an important clue during the live broadcast. and a statue of Simis, the goddess of justice, gilded rudders, the "Book of Gold" code of pirates, and a slightly smaller "Book of Gold and Gems" chronicling the life of Captain Barbossa.

In addition, as a promotional display item, Chen Ergou also exposed some items in the treasure chest for the first time. For example, a gilded flint musket that may have been produced from the early 19th century, a gilded short musket, a sailor's scimitar with a gold handle, a gilded corona, a pirate compass from the late 18th century, and some rare gold coins were made public for the first time.

Treasure News is already a hot topic in China, and now that the detailed information is released, a large number of media will immediately follow up and report it. Take this pirate treasure incident to a new climax.

Patches of ancient gold and silver coins, diamonds, precious stones, and well-preserved high-definition photographs of the Book of Gold, gilded muskets, gilded coronas, and other items began to appear in major media newspapers, television news, and online media.

Even though most of them were no longer in the auction, it was still shocking that he had quietly hollowed out all the treasures. Those adventurers who are still trying their luck in Congo will only get an empty sarcophagus even if they hollow out the mountain.

Those in the know know that these may only be part of the whole pirate treasure, and the key to another treasure map is hidden in the young man's mind.

As the owner of this batch of treasures, Chen Ergou also became the focus of the media for the first time.

Not only domestic media, but also foreign media are vying to report. Following the last intimate contact with the dinosaur relics, the name Chen Ergou appeared in the eyes of the world media for the second time in a short period of time. Google, Baidu and other major search websites, the popularity was also at the forefront for a time. According to this intensive attention, it may be able to enter Google's top 10 global events by the end of the year.

This has also caused his video content on YouTube to skyrocket. Even the previous viral video of the dinosaur remnants "shaking hands" has more than 5 billion views, which is simply popular.

There are also countless netizens in China who flock to the live broadcast room, Weibo, and post bar to discuss.

"Thousands of gold coins, a lot of diamonds, gemstones, blind my eyes, the dog master is really sent now, and in a blink of an eye, he will be a billion local tyrants!"

"I don't need to give gifts to the dog master in the future, he is a real tyrant. ”

"Master dog, are you still missing parts on your thighs, do you recruit dog legs!"

"It doesn't look like much during the live broadcast, how can it be so valuable. Could it be that the part dug up happens to be the essence, and it is too profitable. Is there any way to get rich the fastest, the dog master will divide half of the meeting, tell us the coordinates quickly, and I will also go treasure hunting. ”

"It has always been foreign treasure hunters salvaging all kinds of Chinese shipwrecks and hidden treasures, such as the thousand-year-old mysterious shipwreck Heishi, the fourteenth-century Ming Dynasty treasure shipwreck Yingtan, and the eleventh-century Song Dynasty treasure shipwreck Majeni. Each one is a treasure several times larger than this pirate treasure, and it is worth a fortune, and the porcelain alone is a million pieces, and it contains extremely rich content. But all of them were lost overseas, and the domestic reports were also cool, which really made the Chinese people feel embarrassed. Now there are finally Chinese treasure hunters who have gone abroad to discover treasures and returned!

You must know that when the Blackstone was unearthed, the largest number of them was ceramic products, as many as more than 67,000 pieces, including Tang Dynasty blue and white flower painting plates, Xingyao plates, Tang Sancai, Yue kiln secret color porcelain and Changsha kiln. The most precious are the three pieces of blue and white porcelain, which are the earliest and most complete blue and white porcelain found in China so far.

Due to the huge artistic value and research value of the treasure of the "Blackstone" shipwreck, since the first half of 2002, some cities in China have successively expressed their intention to buy, and Singapore, Qatar and Japan have also expressed this intention.

It's a pity that the price offered by the other party is sky-high, and it is required to buy it as a whole, which makes the country stop. To date, no city or museum has acquired these treasures.

This treasure of the Barbossa pirates is indeed nothing compared to the famous "Blackstone" shipwreck. However, it is the only example in modern times of discovering treasures from abroad and bringing them back to China, which is really inspiring.

After part of the value of the treasure was announced, it caused millions of treasure hunters around the world to be restless, some treasure hunting companies wanted to try their luck, and ordinary tourists ran to Congo regardless of the risks.

What was once a beautiful riverside mountain area has now collapsed, forming a waterfall that is getting wider and wider. Legend has it that there are tourists who have picked up gold coins at the bottom of the falls. This discovery has made other adventurers even more enthusiastic. His unintentional move has even led to a wave of tourism, and perhaps the Congolese government should be grateful to him.

Many media in the outside world wanted to interview Chen Ergou, including many well-known foreign media, but they were all rejected by Chen Ergou one by one. The matter is not over yet, and it would be superfluous to report it now.

It's just that the community where he lives has been exposed, and the security problem is really worrying, and it is difficult for him to even go out for morning exercise now, so what other actions can he talk about.

This also urged him to take the villa as soon as possible.

And this report has another benefit, that is, the Tan Palace, which has been talked about, has been implemented quickly.

Cai Yinong took a few ancient gold and silver coins to visit the owner of the home, Ou Jinwang, president of McKinsey China, and the other party liked it very much, and when he heard that the buyer was Chen Ergou, a recently popular explorer, he also relaxed the price. It turned out that the president was about to be transferred, so he was in a hurry to sell the manor in China. For a man of his stature, it is much more real than the inflated price for a celebrity to take over the current estate.

The buyers and sellers on both sides had substantial contact, and the various real estate agents in the middle could no longer make the main offer, and the subsequent sale went very smoothly.

In the end, after some negotiation, Chen Ergou was willing to pay all the purchase money in one lump sum after three months. finally succeeded in winning this British manor-style luxury villa at a price of 166 million. The other party also said that all the furniture in the villa was given to the future owner as it was, including a Rolls-Royce limousine and a Maybach sports car, all of which were included in the gift and were transferred to Chen Ergou together.

The only request from the other party was that a few trees planted in the yard not be destroyed, which was planted by his daughter. This small request is naturally no problem, and Chen Ergou also invited the other party to return to the manor as a guest if he comes to China in the future.

In this way, there is no hindrance.

After a week, Chen Ergou finally took Rengar and J 20 to live in this manor-style villa.

On this day, all his friends came to help, and even Chen Shuhan, who was in school, came over to join in the fun.

"Yo, what a beautiful house. ”

From a distance, it looks like a building is located on a green plateau, with scattered haystacks nearby, the sun is just right, and the years are quiet!

The morning light passed through the branches, and a tree planting belt that was not too dense woke up, and softly accepted the morning light.

Reingar ran excitedly on the grass like a wild horse. The sprinting speed that belongs to the leopard is on full display at this moment. Unfortunately, it only lasted for five seconds before I was tired and out of breath. Not to be outdone, J-20 fluttered its immature wings, and was already able to fly short distances. fell on Rengar's forehead, showing off his martial arts appearance, and he really had the style of a golden eagle.

"Boss, Rengar they look so happy. Su Qiqi smiled and chased after him.

"Brother, can I come here to live in the future?" Chen Shuhan had a longing expression.

Chen Ergou was also in a good mood and said with a smile: "You can live as long as you want." ”

"Haha, brother, you're the best. ”

Cai Yinong shouted with a smile in front: "Come in and take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can find a decoration company to rearrange it." ”

The crowd cheered and the fish poured in.

When I actually moved in, I realized why so many wealthy people prefer to buy British manor-style villas.

Covering an area of nearly 2,500 square meters, through a garden of large green tree fountains, you will open the gate and the first thing that catches your eye is the 7.5-meter atrium. Surrounded by 10 marble columns, the fountain flows and looks up to the upper part of the atrium surrounded by antique art mirrors hand-painted by the artist, which are set against the crystal lamps to form a strong light and shadow effect.

Next to the main living room are divisible meeting rooms, family gathering rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and more, and almost every room has floor-to-ceiling windows. Unlike the historic castle villas, all units here have period-specific elevators and double staircases for the maid's branch.

Going up the master staircase, there are 3 guest rooms on the second floor, and the master room and children's room on the third floor. Each room has its own cloakroom and a bathroom with separate wet and dry rooms.

The master room is 120 square meters in size, the bathroom is equipped with a Hoesch jacuzzi imported from Germany and gold-plated faucets, the bathroom mirror is from the top American brand Labarge, the border is made of cowhide, and the top is inlaid with pieces of finely polished shells.

The entire basement area is larger than the data, more than 600 square meters, and there are also sun rooms, heated swimming pools, gyms, saunas, bars, and cinemas, which are the best places for the host to entertain guests and relax.

In addition, the maid's room, the maid's workshop, and the driver's room are all on this floor.

Chen Ergou went up and down, and his first feeling was quiet. There are already a lot of inconveniences in his current life. It's great to have such a quiet estate in the middle of the city.

Second, he can still be close to nature, and when he has no money, he may not care about many things, but now that he has money, especially after having the two little guys of J 20 and Rengar, he pays more attention to this aspect. What is there to be dissatisfied with seeing such a green space in an international big city like Modu.

Finally, such manor villas are very effective in asset preservation.

Hold the railing on the third floor with both hands and look down.

At the entrance, there is a moving company, which is moving a huge statue and a stone monument of pirate poetry into the manor.

It's already April, but the weather in the magic capital is still slightly cool. But by the heated pool in the backyard, several girls couldn't resist the temptation early, Su Qiqi and Chen Shuhan had changed into swimsuits, ready to enjoy the coolness of summer in advance.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Cai Yinong walked over and said with a smile: "How is it, how do you feel?"

Chen Ergou patted the railing and said with a smile: "It's like a dream, it couldn't be better!"

After solving his worries, it's time for him to move his muscles.
