Chapter 1688 Inspection
"That's it, you're done?"
"Yes, isn't Boss Zhang scared at all, this guy Alan even dares to shoot British political bigwigs, but his influence can't extend abroad, so as long as you leave South Africa, it's fine." Brother Liu said eagerly.
"Okay, needless to say, I don't care if he's Alan or a dog, I'm leaving South Africa tomorrow anyway, what's his love, what about the diamonds you just promised me to see?
Even if a hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, Zhang Tianyuan will not leave now. No matter how anxious he is, he has to wait until after the bid is opened tomorrow, it's a big deal to be careful in the past few days, let Liu Ruohan and them all live on the side of the peacekeeping forces, he doesn't believe that this Alan can be so bold that he dares to attack the peacekeeping forces.
"Alas, I've done my best, Boss Zhang, you can't help it if you don't want to listen, I've already brought the diamonds, you can watch it first, but there are cameras here, and there is security outside the door, I hope you don't have any crooked thoughts." ”
"What's the matter, I'm here to buy diamonds, not to steal diamonds, okay, you go and see your injuries, it's just a temporary bandage, I don't know if it's okay." Zhang Tianyuan waved his hand.
"That's not going to work, according to the rules, I have to stay there, you know, there was an incident where a diamond buyer swallowed a top diamond into his stomach. Brother Liu shook his head and said.
"That's okay?"
"But it's useless, it's easy to find out through X-ray detection! Don't get cranky. Brother Liu suddenly became very serious.
"Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'll start inspecting the goods?" Zhang Tianyuan looked at Brother Liu and said.
Brother Liu looked at the time and replied, "Supplement, every rough diamond here." You will have half an hour to inspect the goods, and you can hand them over to me after reading one. Or after half an hour you will have all the diamonds done, and I will take them all away, or every half hour, I will take at least one diamond from here to the other merchants. ”
"Thirty minutes? well, that's more than enough. Zhang Tianyuan smiled, he knew that he was not the only one waiting to see these rough diamonds, so he still understood this truth.
The box was opened by Brother Liu and another person at the same time, and there were two keys to this box. If there is only one, it will not be opened at all, mainly to prevent the staff from opening the box and taking the diamond in the middle of the way, or swapping it.
After the box was opened, another person also stood next to him, this was a black man, but Zhang Tianyuan didn't care much, anyway, he didn't want to rob, he just wanted to inspect the goods, it didn't matter who was next to him. One person is no different from two people.
Many people may have seen that kind of folding stool, the structure of this box is very similar to that of a folding stool, usually when the box is closed, there is only one layer. Once opened, it becomes a total of 10 layers of lattices, each with many small lattices. Inside is the rough diamond, but the reserve price and description are not indicated. However, it is also very convenient to compare the information in the computer or in hand.
After opening the box. Brother Liu also provided Zhang Tianyuan with a pair of tweezers and a high-powered magnifying glass, after all, it is impossible to inspect the goods, without these, many diamonds are so small, it is not easy to pick them up with your hands.
Of course, gloves are also a must, large diamonds, which can be picked up directly through gloves.
Customers who come here to inspect the goods are not allowed to bring their own tools, because the fear of customers carrying them may cause various hidden dangers, which have been checked before coming.
This is a good thing for Zhang Tianyuan, because he didn't prepare those tools at all.
"I've heard rough diamonds talk about a long time ago, and I didn't expect it to be like this!"
Rough diamond refers to uncut diamond, which is commonly known as "diamond". It is often referred to as diamond, which is a mineral composed of pure carbon. Diamond is the hardest substance in nature.
Although human civilization has a history of thousands of years, people have only discovered and first understood diamonds for a few hundred years, and the time to truly uncover the inner mystery of diamonds is even shorter. Until then, it has been accompanied by mythical religious cults and fearful legends, as well as symbols of bravery, power, status, and honor.
Discovered in India in 800 B.C., no one dared to manipulate rough diamonds, which are believed to have the power to control the earth, protecting the wearer and giving it a mystical allure.
Only kings, queens and their followers can afford such a rare and beautiful diamond ornament, the natural state of diamonds is so precious that we have found and used diamonds for more than 2,000 years, a Hungarian queen with uncut diamonds in her crown, this dates back to 1074 and is considered the earliest form of diamond jewelry.
In the late 1300s, thanks to mechanical intervention, diamonds received a polished brilliance, but lost their unique properties.
In 2003, the use of uncontroversial, certificated, natural rough diamonds arose abroad, and a type of jewelry for private customers was developed. These unique displays quickly gained the attention of style consumers and celebrities, including Hilary Swank, Julianne Moore and Rihanna, among others.
This is the so-called rough diamond!
Today, diamonds are no longer mysterious, nor are they just for royalty. It has become a popular gem that people can own and wear. Diamonds have a long history of culture, and today they are seen more as a symbol of love and loyalty.
And these diamonds in front of Zhang Tianyuan are all rough diamonds that have not been cut in any way, and the smallest diamond in this box is also more than ten carats.
The shape of a rough diamond is not the same, it is abundant, it is all naturally generated, and if you want to make it into something, you can create something according to the original shape.
"Looks like these diamonds are good. ”
Brother Liu nodded and said: "Of course, according to the 4C standard of the GIA in the United States, the diamonds in the first layer are all D-grade flawless diamonds, and the purity has reached the VVS1 level, or even above, and the weight is more than ten carats, I believe you will not be disappointed, as for the following layers, although some diamonds have a slightly lower color grade, or a little worse clarity, but they have great advantages in other aspects, and they are also a good choice in general, so take a look slowly......"
"yes, then I'll have to take a good look at it......"
Because he wants to choose diamonds between five carats and twenty carats, the diamonds in the first layer are very suitable, because the diamonds in the first layer are basically diamonds above ten carats and below twenty carats, which fully meets Mu Ying's requirements.
He had a magnifying glass in his hand, but it didn't work, but he directly turned on the word identification, using the ability to see through and check the micro to examine the diamonds, and the first thing to confirm was whether these diamonds were South African diamonds.
This can be affirmed in an instant, the feeling of South African diamonds through the induction of earth qi is different, that feeling is very special, and other diamonds cannot be impersonated at all.
After reading it, he scanned all the twenty diamonds in the first layer, and this time of course confirmed the color, clarity and weight of the diamonds, and no one else could say anything.
After confirming, he took out all the twenty diamonds, and asked Brother Liu to take the quotation and began to fill it in, in fact, there is no need to be too careful about the diamonds above ten carats and less than twenty carats, as long as they are real South African diamonds, and the color and clarity are the same as told, this is enough.
"You want all of this?"
"Yes. Zhang Tianyuan didn't want to waste time explaining, so after filling out the quotation, he asked Brother Liu to put the twenty diamonds into another box, and then locked them, and the other two people took the twenty diamonds, which was also to speed up the time so that customers in other rooms could inspect the goods.
After all, three days is a wave, that is to say, the time for inspection is only two days, and it is not possible to hurry up.
Going down the second level, the diamonds are getting bigger and bigger, and there are colored diamonds, some of which are slightly lower in color but have higher clarity, and some are slightly worse in clarity but have a higher color grade.
However, the same feature is that the diamonds are getting bigger and bigger, and there are about 20 carats of diamonds in the second layer, and down in the third layer, there are more than 50 carats of diamonds.
Zhang Tianyuan noticed that there was a diamond in the last layer, which was a white diamond weighing 332.08 grams, and the whole diamond was almost completely transparent without any variegation.
According to Brother Liu, this D-color type 2 diamond was discovered by the Petra Diamond Company of South Africa at the Cullinan mine in South Africa. Type 2 diamonds are naturally formed over a long period of time, are generally large and irregular in shape, and are considered top quality diamonds because there are no measurable nitrogen impurities. Type 2 diamonds are usually of very high quality in terms of color and transparency.
Not only that, but D color diamonds are the most transparent and colorless diamonds, making them the most expensive and fascinating to the world.
How much does it cost?
Brother Liu gave a reserve price, which has reached 15 million pounds! That is, it is equivalent to more than 100 million RMB, which is equivalent to more than 40 million US dollars!
However, at this price, Zhang Tianyuan can still accept it, if such a good diamond can't be obtained, it would be a pity, although the diamonds in the upper layers have made Zhang Tianyuan basically spend the money given by Mu Ying and Nangong Xiunan, but it doesn't matter, he has money himself, so this is not a problem, this diamond is estimated to be not far from the diamond he picked up from the bottom of the sea, and it is even bigger than that diamond.
That one was put in the museum for exhibition, and he was going to buy it back and make jewelry for his wife Liu Mengxun. (To be continued.) )
