After Tang Ming and Tony exchanged a few polite words, Tony's eyes turned to the rough diamond on the table, he picked up the largest rough diamond, and exclaimed with a slight exaggeration: "Oh God! I haven't seen such a big diamond in years, it's so charming." ”

Tang Ming looked at his colorful expression, how awkward he looked, and mocked in his heart: Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? Isn't it just a rough diamond of more than 300 carats, if you take out the more than 2,000 carats in my hand, aren't you scared to pee!

Tony admired it for a while, reluctantly put down the rough diamond, turned his head to Tang Ming and said, "Tang, these charming little guys should be cut into loose diamonds before being auctioned, so as to maximize their value." ”

Tang Ming said helplessly: "I want to too, but I don't have a way to do this." ”

"I can help you, I know the owner of a diamond cutting company in New York, and I thought he could help," Tony said. ”

Tang Ming's eyes lit up after hearing this, after these days of understanding, of course he knew that in a diamond, cut is one of the 4C criteria for evaluating diamonds, and the price of a well-cut diamond can increase by about 30% to 40%, so cut is very important.

Tang Ming thought for a while and asked, "What about the price?"

Tony replied, "About two or three million dollars." ”

Tang Ming was taken aback and said, "So expensive?"

Tony shook his head and said, "It's not expensive, there is a lot of difference between a top diamond cutter and an ordinary diamond cutter, and you don't want to find an ordinary diamond cutter to cut out all your rough diamonds." ”

Tang Ming hesitated, this price was a little beyond his expectations, he didn't know whether to cut it or not, Tony seemed to see something, and said: "Tang, you don't have to worry about the price, as long as these diamonds of yours can be auctioned at Sotheby's, I can ask the company to help you pay in advance, and when the diamonds are auctioned, you can deduct them directly from it." ”

"And how much can I sell these diamonds for?" was ready to accept Tony's kindness, but still asked the most important question, if these rough diamonds didn't sell for much, he wouldn't waste that extra money to cut.

Tony communicated with the jewelry appraiser and gave the answer: "Thirty-five of these rough diamonds have reached the auction standard, and our estimate of these thirty-five rough diamonds is about 50 million US dollars, of course, this is the valuation of this batch of rough diamonds, if after cutting, we will re-evaluate each diamond, the value may be higher, of course, the actual auction price will be higher, but how much it can be achieved, it depends on the enthusiasm of the bidders." ”

"$50 million, $50 million......"

Hearing this number, although he was already mentally prepared, Tang Ming still felt dizzy, he muttered a few words in his mouth, and only came back to his senses after a while, and when he saw Tony and them smiling, he felt very embarrassed, as if he had never seen money.

Instead of laughing at him, Tony gave him a warm hug and said in an envious tone: "Don, my friend, congratulations, you have reached the level of a billionaire, believe me, you only need to wait a month or two, you will be a quasi-billionaire." ”

Tang Ming said excitedly, "Thank you, Tony. ”

Then they talked about the commission, because Tang Ming's batch of rough diamonds did not have any proof of origin, and if they wanted to sell them in public, they needed to go through a series of procedures, so the commission was relatively high, reaching 12%.

Tang Ming recognized this ratio, he hired a lawyer, and signed a contract with Sotheby's auction company, and the rough diamonds were to be sent to New York for cutting, and then sent to London, England for auction on November 20.

In addition, he brought a total of 321 rough diamonds this time, only 35 of which met the auction standard, and the remaining 286 rough diamonds will be returned to him after cutting, and what to do with it is his own business.

When Tang Ming came out of Sotheby's office, it was already noon, and Tony originally invited him to have lunch together, but he refused, and he was still very excited and wanted to be quiet.

Tony didn't mind, he understood Tang Ming's feelings, and they agreed to have dinner together tomorrow and give Tang Ming a night to adjust his emotions.

Tang Ming took a taxi back to the hotel, locked the door of the room, came to Xia Hedongtian, sat on a big rock and began to be in a daze.

In a little more than a month, he will have an income of more than $50 million, and now he has to think about what he should do in the future.

He thought about it, and suddenly remembered what he had said when he was drinking with Song Zihui before, he said, 'When I have money, I must go abroad to buy a ranch, raise some cattle and sheep, and raise a few smarter sheepdogs, and lead the sheepdogs to graze every day, and live an idyllic life. ’

This dream was just a joke for him before, he didn't save enough money for a lifetime to buy a bigger house in Songjiang, let alone go abroad to buy a ranch, but, there is a good saying, dreams still have to be had, what if they are to come true, and now he suddenly found that he has the ability to realize his dreams, so he remembered his dream again.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to leave Xia Hedongtian, returned to the room, took out his notebook and checked it.

"USA, Canada, Australia. ”

He searched on the Internet for a long time, and felt that these three countries are more suitable, the land is vast and sparsely populated, agriculture and animal husbandry are very developed, and the most important thing is that the land is owned by individuals, but he has not yet decided which country to choose.

He carefully searched for some information on these three countries, and was busy for several hours, and he faintly inclined to Australia in his heart, after all, Australia is the closest to China, such as the United States and Canada, which are a little farther away, and it is too inconvenient to return to China.

As for other conditions, in fact, these three countries are similar, he just has a feeling in his heart that Australia is very suitable for him, as for other things, he doesn't have to think too much, as long as it suits his own heart, if it doesn't meet his own heart, even if the environment is good, he will not be comfortable in his heart.

"That's it, when the auction is over and the money is in, I'll go to Australia and buy a ranch. Tang Ming thought in his heart.

"Goo-Goo......

At this time, his stomach began to bark, and he remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, and now it was almost three o'clock, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, took a taxi to Quanjude, and ate a long-famous roast duck, and treated his stomach well.
