The process of creating a diamond is tedious and the selection process is complex.

Li Du entered the workshop to take a look, and the workers all had a pair of sharp eyes, and the rough stones that were selected for cutting and polishing into jewelry must not have a single crack and not a single impurity.

These workers are the backbone of a diamond mine, and everyone is treated well, and they are respected and wooed by the mine owner.

In addition, in addition to these workers who select the perfect rough stones, there are also those who are responsible for selecting small diamonds, which can be aided by mechanical screening and are in a less position than the former.

A steady stream of rough stones is sent to the selection worker's workbench, where they are first hand-picked and those with defects are sent to another workbench for evaluation by another group of people.

Li Du and they were lucky, they happened to come across a big diamond when they arrived today.

This diamond has to be 10 carats, which is very large and has very few opportunities to produce in normal times.

"How much do you think it's worth?" asked the lion hunter, staring at the diamond delightfully.

A 10-carat diamond is a real luxury, and it will belong to a celebrity, a wealthy man, or a politician in power.

"According to the current market situation, this rough is worth millions of dollars," Li Du knew how to answer, "but if you cooperate with the Winston Group, it can be doubled." ”

The Lion Hunter is a partner of Harry Winston, but not only with the Winston Group.

Diamonds are a luxury item that inevitably requires bidding to sell at a good price.

Therefore, every time a lion hunter gets a high-quality diamond, he will contact a number of luxury companies for inquiry, and the highest price will be awarded.

Hearing his answer, the lion hunter burst out laughing, "I don't care how you pack it, I only care how much money it can make me." ”

He is a veteran of the business and very clever, and the topic thrown by Li Du was skillfully diverted by him, obviously, he will not make any promises to the Winston Group.

For Africans, in the business arena they believe that there are no permanent enemies, no permanent friends, only eternal interests.

The large diamonds are carefully packed in safes, while the smaller rough stones are separately packaged and folded on a double-layered white paper.

After weighing a bag of rough stones, she will record the rough stones through a computer, which will be the identification of the rough stones, like the abalone card of black gold abalone.

In the diamond buying and selling industry, each bag of such rough stones, after being appraised, is called a 'lot', the unit is 'hand', and two packs are two hands.

Each lot has a different weight and is common from twenty carats to one hundred carats.

Every week, the lion hunter can ship about 10 lots of diamonds around the world.

After each "hand" rough is bought, the jeweler sends it to Antwerp, Tel Aviv, or India, where it is cut and polished into a finished diamond for further processing.

The latter process is a business process, and Li Du does not need to understand this, it is Cole's job.

The lion hunter took Li Du to come to the mine today because it was a Friday, and every Friday, his mine would ship out.

In the afternoon, a cash truck protected by an armoured vehicle arrived at the mine, which was used to transport the diamonds.

The lion hunter opened the wide cash cart and showed Li Du that the sturdy body was filled with iron cages, the cages were tightly welded, and each one contained packed diamonds.

Of course, there are industrial synthetic diamonds and crystal imitation diamonds, and real diamonds are mixed in, and only the lion hunter and the pick-up party know which cage is the real thing.

The lion hunter got into the car and put the diamonds away, he waved his hand, and the convoy left.

When Li Du saw the machine gun mounted on the armored car, he asked: "Is the transportation process dangerous? Why do you even need the army to escort it?"

The lion hunter laughed, "Every year, in order to protect these diamonds, I will have at least a hundred lives on my hands, do you know how crazy some idiots are for diamonds?"

Li Du was secretly frightened: "God, so crazy?"

The lion hunter nodded: "All gangs in South Africa will organize armed robbery of diamonds, there is no difference. There are also desperate madmen, gamblers, poisoners, children who don't know the height of the sky, too many people are staring at these things. ”

"So, why do you think I said it would cost so much to mine diamonds and get them to you? I'm not making excuses for raising prices, man, that's the truth. ”

The diamond convoy went away, and Li Du's visit was over.

During this visit, he learned about the process of collecting diamonds in diamond mines, saw the people of South Africa, and better understood the difficulties of finding diamond mines.

It was getting late, they couldn't leave, they had to stay here.

The lion hunters took them to work for a meal, the working environment on the mine was very difficult, but the eating environment was good, there were several large and small restaurants, and everyone lined up at the window to eat.

There are a total of five dishes for dinner, almost all of which are solid hard dishes, fried meat, grilled meat, roast chicken, fried fish, broth, and the main dishes are brioche bread, cakes, etc.

The workers looked exhausted after a long day's work, and each person was given two cans of cold beer, and when they got it, they didn't say a word, they pulled it open and poured it into their mouths.

Li Du and the others also stood in the queue, and when they saw the lion hunters, the waiter who served the meal changed a beer for them, which was Budweiser Black Classic, and the others were Budweiser Black Craft Beer, the latter being more expensive than the former.

Seeing this, Li Du asked strangely: "Why did you see that you, the boss, gave us cheaper beer, do you prefer the taste of black classics?"

The lion hunter said lightly, "Who told you that black classics are cheaper than black craft beers?"

Li Du wondered and said, "Isn't that so?"

The Lion Hunter said, "If those black craft beers are expired, and the black classics are fresh beers that have just been produced, what do you think they should be?"

Li Du stopped talking, the lion hunter was domineering enough, and he actually bought expired beer to deal with the miners.

But the miners don't care about that, most of them don't even know that beer has an expiration date, and they don't know how to read or read it.

After a day in the mines, they left by helicopter the next morning, and then turned southeast to the lion hunters' tribe, where they would continue to entertain them.

The lion hunter is a Zulu ethnic group, an important part of South African society, who is mainly found in Natal province, but also has a part of the population in eastern Lesotho and southeastern Eswatini.

This time, they were going to the Natal region, where the lion hunter grew up and had a deep affection for the tribe, and he would take important clients to South Africa.
