124 billionaires

Zhou Xing's first stop was Christie's. This auction house has auctioned many colored diamonds. Zhou Xing's diamond should be able to sell for the maximum price in their hands.

Of these two diamonds, Zhou Xing only intends to sell one. After the appraiser of Christie's auction house looked at the diamond in Zhou Xing's hand, it was assessed as a fancy color diamond, with a net weight of 59.6 carats, a flawless D color, and a perfect luster.

Based on the market of about 50,000 Hong Kong dollars per carat, this diamond is worth about 30 million Hong Kong dollars. In fact, the value of such a net weight diamond cannot be calculated based on the retail price.

The larger the diamond, the rarer it is, and the higher the price. The value of this diamond has not been auctioned, and the money is immeasurable.

The account manager of Christie's auction house had a modest smile on his face after hearing the appraiser's appraisal conclusions.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for choosing Christie's, we are the most professional jewelry auction house in the industry, and we believe that we can make this big diamond shine on the earth!"

"I haven't said I'm going to auction it here with you!" There is a good girl in the family who does not worry about getting married, and Zhou Xing looks like a bull and coaxing.

Uh, the account manager's smile froze, "Mr. Zhou said with a smile, our bank's service and customer base are the best in the industry, if Mr. Zhou wants to make a move, our bank is the first choice." ”

"I don't know what the appraisal price you are giving is?"

Before the account manager could answer, a middle-aged man in a suit walked into the conference room where several people were. "Hello Mr. Chow, I'm Chow Tai Sang, General Manager of Christie's Jewellery Department, and I'm here to serve you. ”

Hearing the appraiser's report, Zhou Dasheng couldn't sit still and decided to come out to receive Zhou Xing in person. It is rare to see such a large diamond in recent years. If it can be auctioned at Christie's, it will be a good advertisement.

Zhou Dasheng shook hands with Zhou Xing and began to ceramics. The diamond's appraised price is about $20 million. Based on our previous experience at Christie's, the hammer price is generally more than 30% higher than the appraised price. In other words, this diamond in your hand may be able to sell for 30 million US dollars in our bank!"

Thirty million dollars? Oh my God! Officer Amao was shocked. 30 million US dollars is more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and anyone with more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars is enough to live a comfortable life. His eyes were a little more fiery when he looked at Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing is relatively calm, he is not short of money now, and he still has a diamond. In addition, the world of "Let the Bullets Fly" is about to start cracking down on bandits, Huang Shilang will pay 1.8 million taels of silver, and if Zhou Xing robs it, it will be a lot of money.

"I don't know what your bank's commission is?" Zhou Xing asked casually.

"Our commission is in line with the industry, 15% of the hammer price. ”

Zhou Xing silently calculated, that is to say, the diamond sold for 30 million US dollars, and Christie's had to take 4.5 million US dollars. The price is a bit high.

Zhou Dasheng knew what Zhou Xing was hesitating about, so he opened his mouth to persuade, "Mr. Zhou, although the auction fee is a bit high, it is definitely worth the price compared to our channels and customers. We have a good relationship with the richest people on Hong Kong Island and even in Asia, and we can sell Mr. Chow's lot directly to them. And we prepare a diamond certificate for Mr. Zhou free of charge. ”

Zhou Xing claimed that the diamond was ancestral, so naturally there was no certificate. Chow Tai Sang is ready to use this trick to win over customers.

"You help me create two diamonds of this size, and the commission is easy to say. ”

"I don't know what Mr. Zhou is for?" Zhou Dasheng asked with a smile. Modern techniques are not very difficult to make two glass diamonds.

"Keep it at home and keep it in mind. Zhou Xing replied casually.

"No problem. Zhou Dasheng grabbed Zhou Xing's hand. The next step is to sign a contract, exhibit and auction.

After signing the consignment auction contract, Zhou Taisheng invited Zhou Xing to name the diamond. Zhou Xing pondered for a while, "Let's call it a happy comedian!"

If this diamond can be auctioned for 30 million US dollars, Zhou Xing will wake up laughing in his dreams, wouldn't he be a happy comedian?

"Well, Mr. Zhou, isn't that a bit weird? It's usually called Heart of the Ocean, Pink Heart, or something. Zhou Dasheng reminded reservedly.

"It's called Happy Comedian!" Zhou Xing settled down domineeringly. Zhou Dasheng didn't beep anymore, the customer is the biggest!

Christie's is so experienced that newspapers and television all over Hong Kong Island immediately advertised the upcoming auction of "Happy Comedians", and the richest people also received the news.

The diamond was in high quality and large enough to sparkle enough, and it immediately attracted the attention of Hong Kong Islanders who worshiped money. But what gets people most talked about is its quirky name.

Anyone who can guess the meaning of the diamond's name "Happy Comedian" will receive a prize of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars and free admission to watch the auction.

This has driven the Hong Kong people crazy. The appraised value of this diamond is worth $30 million, and the people who can participate in the auction are the top richest people in Hong Kong and even the world.

Christie's advertisement is extremely beautiful, and it receives tens of thousands of letters from citizens every day. Although the answers are varied, most of them are not in the horse's mouth.

Some people say that if you buy it, you can earn it, so it's a happy comedian. Others say that the seller has such a big diamond, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren do not have to worry about food and clothing, what is it that is not a happy comedian?

There are also some viewers who maliciously speculate that this is just a marketing gimmick by Christie's, when in fact the diamond does not exist at all, and so on.

Zhou Xing watched ATV's report on guessing diamonds at a luxury hotel, with a prank-to-guess smile on his face.

"Boss, what does the name of the diamond mean?" Ah Mao submitted his resignation letter on the day Zhou Xing signed the contract with the auction house, and walked out of the police station building in the puzzled eyes of his colleagues.

"Ah Mao, isn't it, I give you 100,000 yuan a month, and you are still worried about 10,000 Hong Kong dollars?" Ah Mao's salary is 100,000 yuan a month, which is five times that of him in the police force. His current salary is as high as that of a junior judge on Hong Kong Island, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gold collar on Hong Kong Island.

Ah Mao smiled embarrassedly, "What's the matter, I just want to see the world!"

"There's a billionaire standing in front of you, don't you see the world every day?" Zhou Xing pouted.

By the way, boss, now that I've left the police force, I've surrendered my gun. I may not be able to protect your safety in all aspects, do you want to find a few bodyguards?" Ah Mao asked with a worried face.

"Guns, huh?" Zhou Xing touched his clothes, and two box cannons appeared in his hands.

"Na, one for each person!" Zhou Xing asked Master Dai for several guns, both long and short, as well as all kinds of bullets, all stored in the comedy space. When you want to use it, you can take it out at any time.

"Hey, isn't the boss? Oriental eight-millimeter fourteen-year-old southern pistol, referred to as Wang Ba cover, this kind of gun can be regarded as an antique. ”

He fiddled around a few times and found that the gun was not only functional, but also very new. I don't know how the boss got it? He became more and more in awe of Zhou Xing's unfathomability.

"I didn't expect you to study guns so well, this gun is a bit antique, but it's okay to kill and defend yourself. ”

Zhou Xing put the gun into the comedy space in front of Ah Mao. Ah Mao only felt that the boss's gun was gone. He became more and more respectful.

Christie's advertised for a month, and hundreds of people signed up to bid for it. Not only the local rich people on Hong Kong Island poured out, but also the rich people of the Americas and Europe were famous, and even the princes of the Middle East were alarmed and sent white-robed envoys.

Zhou Xing listened to the good news of Christie's report and smiled. "Ah Mao, you said that if we kidnap all these rich people and extort hundreds of millions of ransoms each, will we make him a lot of money?"

He did think a little crookedly, but there were not enough people in front of him, so he could only YY.

Ah Mao was taken aback by Zhou Xing's boldness, and he dissuaded with a pale face, "Boss, isn't it, just the two of us, we can't get close to them at all!"

"Look at you, I'm just kidding. ”

Ah Mao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Boss, you really like to joke!"

The color diamond joy comedian sold a sky-high price, the auction house estimated that it could be auctioned for 40 million US dollars, but I did not expect that under the competition of many rich people, especially the rich in the Middle East, the final hammer price of this colored diamond was 52 million US dollars, and the buyer is said to be an Arab.

After deducting commissions and taxes to the Hong Kong Island government, the diamond was worth a full $40 million. All of a sudden, he became a billionaire.

Zhou Xing has the legal status of Hong Kong Island, and the money was deposited into his account with HSBC at once. Along with the huge amount of cash in his account, Zhou Xing also received two glass diamonds given free by Christie's.

These two diamonds are the same as the colored diamonds in Zhou Xing's hand, and they will only show their original shape under the identification of the machine. It should be enough to use these two diamonds to Meng Huang Shilang.

"Congratulations to the boss for making a fortune!" Ah Mao said auspiciously. Zhou Xing smiled slightly, took out the checkbook, and wrote a cash check for 100,000 US dollars.

"Take it, buy something for my sister-in-law and children!" Ah Mao saw the number on the check, and his bull's eyes were about to pop out, "Boss, this is too ... It's too much, it's useless!" he hesitated for a few seconds before pushing it back.

"So much nonsense, you will take it if you give it to you. Work hard for me in the future, and your benefits will be indispensable!"

This amount of money is just a drizzle for Zhou Xing, he is going to establish a trading company on Hong Kong Island, specializing in cultural relics and antiques from the Republic of China, the source is naturally the world of "Let the Bullets Fly". Ah Mao acted as his spokesperson and took care of his business.

Mao Cheng took the check with trepidation and carefully put it in his pocket. He swore to Zhou Xing very seriously that he would be loyal to his duties in the future and serve Zhou Xing as a dog and horse.

"Okay, okay, why are you so serious!" Zhou Xing smiled, it felt quite good to be able to accept a desperate undercover police officer on Hong Kong Island.
