Hearing Zhang Tianyuan's words, Cao Cao's face obviously showed a look of disappointment, he couldn't help it, people like Zhang Tianyuan, first, they didn't lack money, and secondly, they couldn't ask him for help, they really couldn't find the handle, I was afraid that this thing really couldn't be bought.

"That's it, Brother Cao, let's communicate again if we have the chance. ”

"Alas, that's the only way, your brother's divine eyes, I don't know how many people I want to envy, it seems that I am destined to have no chance with this bloodstone, there is no way, I will go down first, and I won't disturb you on the road." Although Cao Cao was very reluctant to leave like this, he was not the kind of person who stalked him, let alone face Zhang Tianyuan, even if he was stalking, what was the point? Zhang Tianyuan is a person who doesn't eat hard and soft.

When he got up and was about to jump out of the car, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Zhang Tianyuan and said, "By the way, Brother Zhang, I heard from Teacher Yu that you are still a jewelry company?"

"That's right, HRE Jewels, there is already some climate in the imperial capital and Shangpu at present. Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said.

"That's right, I have a friend who is in the diamond business, his company has close business contacts with Africa, and another batch of diamonds was supposed to be shipped over, but the jewelry company went bankrupt, although there is no shortage of buyers for diamonds, but my friend still hopes to find a reliable, long-term cooperation with the jewelry company, are you interesting?"

"That's a great thing. Zhang Tianyuan was a little excited. In fact, he has been worrying about how to get diamonds, after all, as a jewelry company. If you don't have diamond jewelry, you can't say anything. In his company, he has a top jewelry designer like Xu Yue, but there are no diamonds, which is simply a waste.

In fact, although Liu Mengxun is not as good as Xu Yue in this regard, she is also talented in diamond jewelry design, her design is more innovative, in line with the appetite of young people, these two designers need to have diamonds, without diamonds, it is like a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice.

Zhang Tianyuan originally planned to wait for his free time, so he simply went to Africa to have a look. After all, if the jewelry store wants to develop, in addition to having funds, you also need to have a supplier, without such an important raw material as diamonds, no matter how good the jewelry store is, it will make people feel that it is not high-grade enough.

You know, nowadays, no matter how big or small the city, when you get married, you don't buy a diamond ring. That's a bit outdated, and the woman will definitely be unhappy. Even though many rural areas still practice three pieces of gold, some girls think that gold is too old-fashioned and still like diamond rings. A cheap diamond ring is only a few thousand pieces, although the price is not high, but this amount is very large. With so many people in China, this consumer market is definitely a big market that cannot be ignored.

And because of that. China can now be said to have become a major consumer of diamonds in the world, on the one hand, we must feel how successful the people who did diamond marketing in the first place. On the other hand, as a jewelry store, diamond jewelry generally occupies half of the country, and if Shinra jewelry does not have diamond jewelry, it is not a real jewelry store.

1993 is an extraordinary year in the history of Chinese diamond development, this year DTC Tongguò Hong Kong's Ogilvy advertising company, solicited the Chinese translation of "Adiamondisforever", after half a year of evaluation, a university teacher's sentence was selected, so "diamonds are forever, a forever" this classic advertising slogan successfully entered China, and after more than ten years of Chinese consumers began to widely accept diamond culture.

Before that, China knew very little about diamonds, the development of the diamond industry was not mature, and the concept of diamond culture was impossible to talk about. The key to this historic situation was the most famous slogan of the 20th century: "A diamond lasts forever, and a diamond lasts forever." This classic advertising slogan has since changed the traditional situation of Chinese weddings to wear gold and jadeite, and then formed a new concept of "no diamond no marriage" for Chinese newlyweds.

In the 20th century, "Diamond is eternal, one is forever" became the most classic advertising slogan in Chinese mainland, like a love nuclear explosion, resounding all over the world. In ancient Oriental China, this sentence is even more meaningful, in just 19 years, it has completely changed the traditional custom of Chinese wedding to wear gold and jadeite, and a diamond ring has become the most beautiful token of love between the two.

By 2020, China will replace the United States as the world's largest consumer of diamonds. And this qiē cannot but be said to be closely related to the promotion of the advertising slogan "diamonds are eternal, one is eternal" in China.

Although there are many sources of diamonds, in the case of Zhang Tianyuan, he is more optimistic about South African diamonds.

After 1867, the discovery of alluvial placer deposits and a large number of primary kimberlite tubes in South Africa made South Africa the world's most important diamond producer, and its production has long been among the highest in the world, thus ushering in a new era of the diamond industry. In 1905, the world's largest kimberlite tube, the Premil Tube, was discovered in Azashiya, South Africa, where the largest diamond (the Cullinan Diamond) was discovered. South Africa is home to the world's largest and most modern Vinitia diamond mines.

Diamonds from South Africa are known for their large grains and high quality. 50% of the diamond rough embryos mined from the mine can be gem-quality. More than 50 years ago, South Africa was the world's largest producer of diamonds. Over time, South Africa's diamond production has been decreasing year by year. In 1987, South Africa produced 10 million carats of diamonds, about 10% of the world's total.

But even so, South Africa's diamonds are large and of high quality, 50% of the diamonds are cut, and although its output is not as good as that of Australia and other countries, its output value has always been among the top in the world.

What's more, South Africa's diamonds have always been very famous and of excellent quality, although Australia has now dominated diamond production. However, gem-quality ones account for only 5% of its production, which is not comparable to South African diamonds.

Now for Zhang Tianyuan. Gold, white jade, jadeite, bloodstone are no longer a problem, when it comes to jewelry. What he lacks is pearls and diamonds, and he has always planned to find a suitable purchase channel, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to take the initiative to bring it up today, although he was excited in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface.

He didn't know if Cao Cao's words were reliable, so he needed to inquire.

"Brother Cao, of course I'm interested in buying diamonds, and it's easy to talk about the price, when will you let your friends meet with me." "Tong Guò Cao Cao probably doesn't know much. He wants to meet the seller directly, anyway, he doesn't have to run around for a living now, and he has a lot more free time, so he is not afraid of running out of time to meet people.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, you are still cautious enough, but it doesn't matter, my friend's diamonds are all from the regular way, and there will be no trouble, you will understand when you see him, but the other person is now in South Africa." I shouldn't see you yet, but I can tell him about you first. ”

"South Africa, I heard that there have been xenophobic riots in South Africa recently, so please be careful. No one cares about us businessmen outside, and if something really happens, there is nothing we can do. Zhang Tianyuan frowned.

"Thank you brother for caring, he should be fine. Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Bon voyage. Cao Cao waved his hand and jumped out of the car. Then the door was shut.

"Let's go, Brother Wang, go to Changhua and join Zhanfei. Zhang Tianyuan leaned back, after a day of tossing today, coupled with what happened in the morning, to be honest, he was really a little tired.

"Husband, is something wrong? I see that you look unhappy?" Liu Mengxun saw that Zhang Tianyuan's face was clouded, and couldn't help asking: "If it's because of the diamond matter, why don't I go and discuss it with my grandfather, the diamond source of Liu's jewelry is still relatively stable, and it shouldn't be a problem to give some to Shenluo jewelry." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, it's not like that. Zhang Tianyuan kissed Liu Mengxun's forehead and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, the diamond matter is not so embarrassing to me, at most it is just to go to South Africa in person, anyway, the two of us have long planned to travel around the world, so it would be good to regard the various diamond producing areas as one of the goals of tourism, but I still want to thank you." ”

For Liu Mengxun's concern, Zhang Tianyuan's heart suddenly gave birth to a burst of warmth, although he was really not worried about the diamond, but his wife's care was what every man needed.

"Is it because of the Tang family?" Wang Siyuan, who was driving, suddenly asked.

"That's right, I'm afraid that the Tang family will jump off the wall in a hurry, although this time there is almost no leakage of the news of the above action, the Tang family probably doesn't know yet, but I'm not afraid of 10,000 just in case, if any link leaks the news, so that the Tang family plans to take risks, then this matter is not easy to do." "To be honest, Zhang Tianyuan should actually be happy, because he helped those jade shops in Shangpu solve the problem of bloodstone, and got two superb stones, it can be said that this time to Changhua is perfect, but the problem is that the affairs of the Tang family always make him angry, and if he doesn't pull out this poisonous fang, it is always difficult for him to be completely relieved.

I don't know how far Sister Nie's actions have got.

"I'm afraid of a bird, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to the earth, who is afraid of whom. "Wang Siyuan can be regarded as giving himself courage, although he is bold, but after all, he is just a rich second generation, he has nothing to do with politics, and he has nothing to do with the underworld.

"It's the same, what are you afraid of, if you were afraid, I wouldn't have provoked that grandson in the first place. As soon as Zhang Tianyuan was told by Wang Siyuan, he simply put his mind at ease, not to mention that nothing may happen, even if something really happens, he is not a person who is afraid of things, since he has done something, he will definitely not regret it.

Thinking about this, he began to think about what to do with the big red robe, first of all, he must have to set aside a part of it to give Nie Qinglan a gift, if it is ruined, it will be ruined, he doesn't care anymore, in addition, he can carve a seal or something for himself, he has always hoped to have a bloodstone or Shoushan stone seal, but unfortunately Shoushan stone he has, but it is a complete set of seals, he can't use it, now with the best big red robe bloodstone is different, after all, he usually likes to write a word, Drawing a picture, if there is no seal, it is a little too shabby.

In the past, I used to use the kind of wooden seals carved by myself, which naturally couldn't be compared with bloodstone seals.

As a young man, Zhang Tianyuan still has a little vanity.
