"My dear friend, it doesn't count any further along, there are diamond mines going on over there, so there will be big diamonds. John saw that Monza and Yunmo were so lucky, thinking of what Zhang Tianyuan said before, he was really afraid that this kid would find any big diamonds, or even giant diamonds, and he would be embarrassed at that time.

Don't give it, I can't say it, I promised others, but if I give it, I will definitely be unwilling.

"That's the machinery you use to mine diamonds?" Tsk, I heard that South Africa is a developed country, why is the mining machinery used so backward, it's not normal?" Zhang Tianyuan looked at the machinery, many of which were old equipment left over from the British colonial period, some were second-hand machinery shipped from the United States, and some were actually Chinese, but they were all made in the 80s when China had been eliminated.

Because the equipment is old, the efficiency of mining is relatively low, and the noise is very loud, and the noise is not caused by the machinery itself, but because of the abnormal friction caused by the obsolescence.

It sounds really harsh.

Most of the people who operate the equipment there are yellow-skinned Chinese and white, and there are very few blacks, which makes Zhang Tianyuan a little surprised. But if you think about it, it is estimated that because black people are in power now, they are not as easy to exploit as before, so there are relatively few black workers.

Of course, no matter how old the equipment is, after all, people mine diamonds mechanically, and the efficiency is not the same as that of Zhang Tianyuan and others who use hands and shovels.

"Alas, even if there is sophisticated equipment, these people will not use it. You know, since apartheid was abolished, many whites have started to emigrate in large numbers for fear of reprisals. After they left, the long-term enslavement of the blacks also made the blacks almost zero technicians, and these people could barely manipulate those old equipment, and they still wanted to buy high-end equipment...... However, recently a lot of Chinese people have come over, and the situation has improved a little, and these people will use Chinese-made equipment. These devices are not only of good quality, but also much more efficient than those of the old ones......"

Regarding the quality of China's equipment, Zhang Tianyuan admitted, especially in the eighties, although China's manufacturing industry is relatively backward, not as developed as it is now, but the things made are all top-notch, at that time, a TV set will not be a problem to watch for more than ten or twenty years, where is it like the current TV. After two or three years, it will go wrong.

Some people say that this is a commercial society, how can things be sold if they are too good, it seems to make some sense, but this is an irresponsible approach for consumers.

You must know that in the past, no one would have said anything bad about Made in China.

Of course, that's also because China's manufacturing is too backward, except for good quality, there seems to be no other advantage. So those old brands have basically been eliminated now.

Until now, Zhang Tianyuan still remembers the previous Yellow River TV, Panda TV, Haiyan TV, etc., as well as various walk-behind tractors produced at that time. The quality is really just.

"It looks like every line of work has its own troubles, okay, I'm not going to go, just dig here, okay?" Zhang Tianyuan looked over there and said with a smile.

John's face was a little embarrassed, and he thought about it for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "That's it, friend." Anyway, this mine may be yours in the future, in order to give you enough confidence to take over, today I will make an exception for you to choose diamonds. ”

"How to choose a diamond?But what about the previous bet?" Zhang Tianyuan asked suspiciously.

"I'll renegotiate that deal with you later. As for this diamond selection, it's actually very simple. You know, there are many steps in the excavation of diamonds, the first of which is to select the diamond mine first, and after choosing the right one, it is the same as gold panning, or cleaning by manpower, or by mechanical cleaning, and the things that come out are screened to find the real diamond, and I asked you to do it, which is the thing. ”

In the past, the screening process required a relatively high level of skill and experience, so there was no black person at all, basically white people did it, and even if it was a white person, it had to be carried out under supervision, after all, the diamond was too precious, and a very small one was very valuable.

People are greedy, and if you don't supervise, something will definitely happen.

Now there are also black technicians on some mines to screen, and they tend to use magnifying glasses to work, but the same is still supervised.

In the past, black people, although many famous diamonds were dug up by them, in fact they may not have touched them at all, only from the pictures. Now at least they have the same rights as white people.

From this point of view, Zhang Tianyuan feels that Mandela is still doing a very good job.

Many people say that Mandela's policies have brought down the South African economy, and this sounds like some people say that only Japan can revitalize China's economy, and I believe that the indigenous people of South Africa will never be comfortable.

And the culprit of this phenomenon is also white, the original white regime suppressed blacks and did not let them study, how could they have technology and knowledge, now they are slowly catching up, I don't know what will happen in the future, Zhang Tianyuan does not dare to assert.

But one thing is certain, no matter how economically developed South Africa is, if black people can't read, or even live like pigs and dogs, then there is little point at all.

"I see, I'd love to try it, maybe it's going to be fun...... But what did the previous bet say?"

Zhang Tianyuan still wants John to discount for himself, after all, he has already decided to take down this mine, and the next thing to consider is the discount.

"You can change it, well, this way, if you can choose a diamond over 10 carats, you can get 9% off, 20 carats 8% off, and so on, okay?"

"No, no, no, this is too unfair, in case there are no diamonds in the screening plate at all, then I won't lose to death?

John looked down and thought for a moment and said, "Okay, just as you said, but let's talk about it, it's not the total weight of the diamond, but the weight of a piece, okay?"

"Yes. Zhang Tianyuan nodded.

Hearing this exact answer, John was relieved, generally speaking, it is still more likely that there will be five carats of diamonds in the screening plate, but the possibility of more than ten carats is very small, and it is really rare to find more than twenty carats of diamonds.

Many screens don't even have diamonds at all, or are medium and small diamonds under one carat, which is the most common.

Because of this, he agreed to Zhang Tianyuan's change in the gambling contract, even if Zhang Tianyuan really found a ten-carat diamond in the end, it would be just a 20% discount, and he would accept his fate, make less money, make a friend, regret will definitely regret it, but it is not too exaggerated.

"Mr. John is really a cheerful person, so let's go over. Zhang Tianyuan was about to try it, because he couldn't find more than five carats of diamonds in the mine, which made him a little frustrated, but he didn't expect someone to send a pillow when he fell asleep, John This guy is really cute.

"Boss Zhang, please come with me. John smiled, and then took Zhang Tianyuan to the large workshop where the screening tray was placed.

The crushed ore here, which has been washed by machine or artificially, is relatively important, so outside this workshop, not only are soldiers guarded, but even an armored car is parked.

This is a real armored car. And it looks quite advanced, at least much more advanced than the machinery and equipment used by the miners.

"Please, Boss Zhang, there are a total of 100 plates of crushed ore here, and it has not yet been cleaned, you only have one chance to pick out a diamond from this 100 trays of crushed ore, which will be the reference for our bet, of course, this diamond will naturally be given to you for free to Boss Zhang as a commemorative ......"

You know, Zhang Tianyuan wants to buy John's mine this time, which is more face-saving than buying a few diamonds, for John, who plans to completely break away from South Africa, this mine is now a hot potato, and he has been planning to throw it away quickly.

So he is grateful to Zhang Tianyuan, and he is also willing to give profits to Zhang Tianyuan, it is still very possible to pick out a few five-carat or even ten-carat diamonds from a hundred plates of broken ore, he is simply deliberately giving profits to Zhang Tianyuan.

But then again, if Zhang Tianyuan can't find the diamond in this way, it can only be in response to Rachel's words, Zhang Tianyuan has bad luck, not luck, then he can't do anything.

John was a religious man, so he also believed in God's decisions, so he would not disobey them.

Zhang Tianyuan casually glanced at those screening plates, and a flash of joy flashed in the corner of his eyes, but it was just an instant, and no one could find out at all.

"I hope Mr. John will give him a demonstration, I haven't done this either. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile, all of this is just a cover-up, you can't go up all at once and quickly find the big diamond you want, that's too unusual, others will treat you as a monster.

"Okay, there's no problem with this, Boss Zhang is optimistic, I won't choose it, so I'll show you from this screening disc closest to us......"

The number of this screening disc should be twenty-three, and Zhang Tianyuan didn't stop it, because there was no diamond he wanted here, so he nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

If that disc had the diamond he wanted, he would have used some reason to get John to go to another screen. (To be continued.) )
