Chapter 1683: Lost in the Exchange
"So, Rachel, you escort Ruohan and them back first, and then come and pick me up. Zhang Tianyuan thought for a while.
"I'm sorry Boss Zhang, we only took money to protect you, and we didn't care about anything else. ”
"Then I'll give you money, right?"
"No, we won't accept another mission until it's completed, because even we don't know if we're going to die in it. Rachel shook her head.
"What a stubborn guy. Zhang Tianyuan stood there and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the people from the peacekeeping force, so he hurriedly called over there and asked them to send someone over.
Because Old Man Nie had explained in advance, he immediately sent someone over after receiving the call, but it took half an hour to get here, Zhang Tianyuan was still not very relieved, so he simply waited at the gate of the exchange for half an hour, until the people from the peacekeeping force came, and then he was relieved.
"Boss Zhang, although you are really a waste of time and stupid to do this, I envy your subordinates, they are lucky to have a boss like you. Rachel's gaze at Zhang Tianyuan at this time was obviously much softer, not like a robot before, although there were also questions and answers, but it was not very friendly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Ruohan, why don't you go over there and join Zhang Qin and Ren Tian first. ”
"I'm not going, I'm going to wait for you to come out. "Liu Ruohan is not as righteous as Liu Mengxun, and he is very stubborn.
Zhang Tianyuan was helpless, and said to Monza and Yunmo: "I'll come out after a while, you protect Ruohan, don't have an accident." And also. You two also need to be safe, no matter who has an accident. I'm not going to feel good. ”
Because there are peacekeepers here, Zhang Tianyuan is also a lot more relieved. Liu Ruohan refuses to leave, he refuses to go, maybe it's safe to stay here, he doesn't believe that those people dare to fight with the peacekeepers, besides, there are Rachel and them.
"Boss Zhang, I'll wait here for you to come out, of course, if you need to, you can send a distress signal. We'll find a way to get in and save you. But under normal circumstances, it should be fine, and the people here are relatively friendly......" Rachel reminded.
"Zhang Tianyuan, listen up, if you don't come out, I won't go back. Liu Ruohan also said.
"I'll go, aren't you cursing me? Don't worry, it's not hell here, it's not that exaggerated. "Zhang Tianyuan is really speechless, if you care, you can care. Don't say such things to scare people, buddy, my little heart is pounding.
"Boss! Call if you have something...... be careful" Monza and Yunmo were obviously not very worried about Zhang Tianyuan, although they both knew how powerful Zhang Tianyuan was, but what was the situation inside. It's hard to say.
"That's an exaggeration, I'm going to the Diamond Summit, not to some devil's party. Rest assured......"
It is said that fear is contagious, and this is not wrong at all. Liu Ruohan's worries were really transmitted to Monza and Yunmo, and they were quite relieved. But now it's getting more and more uneasy.
In fact, maybe they really think too much, the diamond summit has been held for several years, and the worst accident was an accident that happened outside, but there was no accident inside the exchange. So Zhang Tianyuan feels that sometimes he really scares himself.
It's like those who walk at night, it's nothing, but the more they think about it, the more scared they become, and many people are simply scared to death by their footsteps.
What's more, Rachel said that because the diamond summit is special, the diamond exchange has strengthened its security, and it is definitely more secure than before. Even if the South African government is incompetent, it will not be able to protect even a diamond summit.
After entering from the gate, Zhang Tianyuan found that there were really a lot of people inside, and it was not as strict as he imagined, and there were more than a dozen people who walked in with him, and everyone took the elevator to the diamond center on the fourth floor.
As we all know, South African diamonds are very famous, of good quality, and not cheap. But most of them are to see them, and they are interested in learning about diamonds, not really to buy them. Entering the exhibition room, there is a glass cabinet with a variety of diamonds. The walls are covered with historical pictures of the development of diamonds.
At this time, an elderly Asian came, who claimed to be from Treasure Island, his hometown was on the mainland, and he followed his father to Treasure Island. Later, I went to South Africa, and it has been more than 20 years. He introduced the various types of South African diamonds, champagne colored diamonds, Tanzanian stones, special color diamonds, how to distinguish the color and saturation of diamonds, how to interpret the diamond's face-bottom crown pavilion, luminescence and polishing, and so on.
After the explanation, everyone watched for a while and went to the lounge one after another. There are only a handful of tourists picking up diamonds.
In the Diamond Centre Lounge, there is a bar serving delicate snacks and tea, and a wall of African artefacts is a lovely place. A few fellow ladies took pictures of the black woman's waitress and admired the photos together, and their intimate demeanor was as if they were best friends.
At this time, the treasure island compatriot also came to the lounge and talked with Zhang Tianyuan. He is seventy years old, but he looks like his face is full of wrinkles, and his life must have been full of vicissitudes. He said that his father was the earliest pilot in China, and he was the oldest pilot of his generation with Liu Shanben, a pilot who defected to Baota City in 1946. Later, I went to Treasure Island. Although they became major generals, they had many children in their families and lived in great hardship, and the Kuomintang did not even give them houses.
He said: "What's so good about the Kuomintang? It's better for the Communist Party, and the Communist Party has given you housing." The Kuomintang didn't even give us a house!" Therefore, he came to South Africa very early, and it has been more than 20 years, and he has gone through hardships.
Well, Zhang Tianyuan doesn't know what happened in the past, this person may be telling the truth, but maybe not, he can't distinguish the truth from the false.
Originally, he partnered with his boss, but now his two children have grown up, graduated from college, one has become a doctor, the other has become a university teacher, and he has established a career and achieved success. He's got older, he's retired, and he's still helping out.
At the same time, he also thought of returning to his roots and bought a house in China last year. He also asked us about the situation in the country and asked about domestic investment. Judging from his conversation, he is obviously full of nostalgia for his homeland, which is probably the knot in the heart of every overseas Chinese!
"Mr. Zhang, why are you here, just say, I just heard that you have come in, but I can't wait!"
was chatting with the old man on the treasure island, and suddenly a Chinese ran over, about forty years old, covered with sweat, looking nervous, he said something to Zhang Tianyuan, which made Zhang Tianyuan a little inexplicable.
"What do you mean? Isn't this the venue?" asked Zhang Tianyuan suspiciously.
"This is a place to buy diamonds for ordinary people, and the diamond summit site is behind this building. The Chinese explained.
"I just said, why do you always feel wrong, and I wonder if I'm in the wrong place, and it really is. ”
"Let's go, Mr. Zhang, including the diamond auction list and the private room for you to see the goods, this is a privilege that only customers with more than 100 million euros can enjoy. The Chinese continued.
"Oh, I see, but don't drag me, it's not started now, why are you in a hurry. Zhang Tianyuan was really a little speechless, this person was a little too frizzy.
He also learned some information about the Diamond Summit, mainly auctions, but hundreds of millions of euros users will each have a separate room to rest and watch, which means that even if they take the diamonds away, no one else will know, of course, for safety reasons, after all, the place is too chaotic.
Every merchant in the hundreds of millions of euros is considered a VIP customer, and not only has the right to see the list of auction items in advance, but also has some information about the diamond summit in advance.
Of course, the information between VIPs is confidential, which is good. Zhang Tianyuan doesn't want to be known like everyone on the Myanmar Jade Market, so it is estimated that he will not be able to leave Johannesburg safely.
All transactions for VIP users can be done confidentially, which is very advantageous for those who do not want to expose their money.
However, there is one thing that Zhang Tianyuan doesn't like very much, because this auction is not announced on the spot, as a customer, after you see the goods, you have to give your offer, and then you are left to wait for the results, so the matter of pinching time to raise the price basically does not exist.
Of course, he didn't like it because of this, but because he couldn't complete the transaction immediately, and he had to go back and wait for news.
What he hates the most is waiting for people and waiting for news, because in this process, the spirit can never be concentrated.
However, this is the rule of others, Zhang Tianyuan has nothing to say, bidding and bid opening have a fixed time, generally bidding can be carried out every day during the diamond summit, from the opening of the exchange in the morning to the closing, and the opening of the bid is once every three days during the summit, that is, if you do not bid within three days, it is likely that the diamond you fancy will be robbed by others.
Zhang Tianyuan only plans to stay in Johannesburg for a week, so the time for the three-day bid opening is okay, not too late, but not too early, if he is allowed to choose, he would rather bid today, open the bid on the spot, or open the bid tomorrow.
As we all know, diamonds are produced after diamond cutting and polishing, so it is the product of processing, so it is auctioned after the jadeite is dismantled from the jadeite transaction, which involves great benefits.
Some diamonds, one is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan, so it is absolutely impossible for you to leave with the goods first, you must pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand, the money is paid, after the goods are taken, the exchange will issue a certificate, with the certificate, you can take the diamond out of the customs, these are very important, although it is only a detail, but Zhang Tianyuan does not dare to be sloppy at all, after all, the interests involved in this thing are too big, and the jade rough is not the same.
