"Oh my God, how can there be such a huge diamond in this world!" Women will always have an unparalleled pursuit and fanatical hobby for shining things.

Helen reacted quickly and lunged at the two fist-sized diamonds.

"Smack!" the box was closed, leaving Helen's hands as she walked towards the diamond to reach the box.

Li Rui said to a few people, "Several, I know you are all excited, but we haven't signed an agreement yet, and I don't want to be told that we need an appraisal fee that we can't imagine after the appraisal, otherwise we won't get the certificate...... At the same time, I hope that you will be able to test this diamond with the strictest standards......"

"We IGI will help you identify for free!" Helen said without hesitation, "As long as it is true, we will issue the most authoritative appraisal certificate for free." ”

IGI, International Gemological Institute, founded in 1975 in Ampvet, Belgium, is the world's largest independent jewelry laboratory, with 12 laboratories in major diamond trading and consumption centers around the world, such as New York, Tokyo, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Dubai, etc., known as "the authoritative laboratory around consumers". Montblanc and Cartier are all certified by them.

"We, GIA, are the most authoritative! Back then, the 4C standard was the first to be proposed by GIA!" Lawrence said proudly.

He didn't say it's free, after all, GIA's accreditation fees are the most expensive of any accreditation agency in the world, but they provide the most detailed information and data. They are not as large as IGI, but they have the largest market share.

GIA, the Gemological Institute of America, was founded in Los Angeles in 1931 and first introduced the concept of the 4Cs grading system for diamonds in 1953. Known as the oldest gemological laboratory.

They are qualified to say this.

"With our HRD appraisal certificate, European customers will not have any doubts......" After thinking for a long time, the black Solobi said very seriously.

HRD, the High Council of Diamonds, like IGI, is located in Upguard, which originally existed as an industry body to promote Upvett's diamond center, and began issuing grading reports in 1976. However, compared with the other two, HRD's appraisal certificate is not detailed enough and the workmanship is not good enough, so it has only been recognized in Europe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our client wants the three of you to do it together. After all, this is the largest diamond ever found in the world! According to previous agency evaluations, the diamond weighs 5,103 carats, has the highest grade of D, and has the highest grade of clarity, FL. Our client wants you to have the three of you appraise together, and then we will do the auction......" Robles couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw the three agencies arguing.

As soon as his words came out, the eyes of the three appraisers immediately lit up.

The reason for wanting to get an appraisal is all about the influence that this diamond has brought to their institution.

Now it's going to be auctioned, and it's not ready to be auctioned after cutting!

As a diamond grading agency, it is natural that it will also have the ability to cut and process.

As long as they can successfully cut the world's largest diamond, it will make their institution even more famous!

"We don't have a problem!" Helen agreed on behalf of IGI first, and what she cares about now is not the appraisal, but the right to cut.

Naturally, Soloby, the black man, said that there was no problem, and at the same time wondered how they should take the right to cut.

"If you give us the right to cut to GIA, we can offer a free appraisal. Lawrence said unceremoniously.

Li Rui smiled, "Sir, we didn't plan to cut it before the auction. I just plan to auction the rough stone, if you don't want to provide an appraisal, you can only express regret. ”

"Yes, Professor Lawrence, if you want to get the right to cut, you need to negotiate with the winner after the auction......," Robles also frowned, "Although the price after cutting will be higher, even several times, but our customers don't seem to be willing." ”

"Yes, we don't want to, although we also know that the price may be several times higher after cutting, but our customers are short of money now, otherwise they will not take it out for auction, and we can't afford to give such a price ourselves, so we entrust Sotheby's ......," Li Rui said with a smile.

Qian Yiduo watched quietly on the side and did not speak.

Yang Rui was even more unbearable, since he saw the huge diamond after coming in, his eyes were full of stars, and his saliva was flowing out, and there was no superfluous reaction at all.

Li Rui's words made Qian Yiduo laugh in his heart.

Lawrence's brows furrowed, under the current situation, it seemed impossible to get the right to cut directly.

But to give up like this, obviously a little unwilling.

"Robles, let's start the identification, without the GIA identification report, our IGI report will not have the slightest impact, I am sure you know this very well. "Helen wants Lawrence to quit now.

The GIA has always pressed the IGI and believes that they are the most authoritative.

"Let's do it together, but we need to ship this diamond to the United States......."

"No way! We don't want to leave our sight until the results are out, and at the same time, after the appraisal is over, we will sign a consignment agreement with Sotheby's until the auction, and they will keep it. Mr. Robles, there is no problem, right?" Lei Ming immediately denied Robles's request.

When Robles heard the other party say that he would entrust them with the auction, he immediately said happily that there was no problem.

In desperation, Lawrence could only agree.

However, he wanted to borrow IGI's laboratory, but Helen objected.

In Hong Kong, only IGI has a laboratory, and HRD is only available in the European market, and it is even less possible to have a laboratory in Asia.

Such a diamond of infinite value is not too much for the three most authoritative institutions to identify.

It was only through Robles' facilitation, and even the threat of Helen, that the woman finally agreed to let the other two institutions borrow their lab, which, of course, was not free. The cost is up to them to negotiate.

Under the protection of the number of bodyguard cars, the group went to IGI's identification laboratory in Xiangjiang, and the process of waiting for the results was a torment, which took two full days, and during this period, Qian Yiduo and others did not leave.

"Gentlemen, I cannot but marvel at it, this is a masterpiece of God. The appearance of this diamond will change the ranking of diamonds in the whole world, but we cannot judge the origin of the diamond based on our experience...... "Helen did not sleep for two days and two nights, this originally delicately dressed woman, her eyes were deeply sunken, and the black around her was comparable to that of a giant panda, and there was no luster on her face.

"Yes, this is God's handiwork!" Lawrence's face was equally tired, and even the wrinkles deepened, but he was excited, "all this is so perfect, even Cullinan can't compare it! ”

"This diamond should have the loudest name!" Soloby said only one sentence, "If it is from Africa, it will replace the original African Star......"

"No way, there's no trace of this diamond indicating that it's from Africa!" Lawrence said, shaking his head in a very affirmative tone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you unequivocally that this diamond is not from Africa, nor from Russia, but from China. Africa has the world's largest diamond reserves!" Qian Yiduo suddenly spoke. Of course, this is what I took because I am the owner of this diamond. ”

"This can't be! Huaxia diamonds don't have such high quality, and after so many years, the largest diamond is only 60 carats, and there is no such high quality!" Lawrence shook his head, not believing it at all.

Huaxia does have the world's largest diamond reserves, and everyone in this industry knows it.

However, the diamond mines in China are not of high quality, and they have not been mined on a large scale for so many years, and most of the diamonds in the market are imported from abroad.

"Sir, nothing is impossible. Of course, if you don't want to issue a certificate for such reasons, there's nothing we can do. Li Rui also spoke.

It is difficult for diamonds from China to obtain the appraisal reports of these three institutions, so they cannot enter the international market.

With the entry of international jewelry giants such as Cartier and Montblanc into China, a large number of diamonds from the international market have poured into the Chinese market, squeezing the market space for local diamonds.

Not many Chinese people know that their own country has the world's richest diamond resources.

"We are willing to issue a certificate of authentication. At the same time, this diamond, even if it has not been cut in any way, according to the current quality, after our discussion, the market value will be at least more than 100 million US dollars, and after cutting, with the perfect highest cutting process, the market value will be more than 400 million US dollars. "We can provide you with the best cutting technology......"

100 million dollars!

And that's just the lowest market price.

Qian Yiduo and Li Rui both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Especially after cutting, it will reach a minimum value of $400 million.

More than one kilogram of graphite, about 20,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity cost......

Qian Yiduo suddenly felt that he said that this was a man-made diamond, would it be too much of a loss?

With such a huge amount of money, why can't she do this? She doesn't need to worry about money at all.

Li Rui's heart was beating wildly, and he was thinking that he needed to communicate with Qian Yiduo when he came down.

Even, the diamond is processed first and then auctioned......
