"Excuse-me," Meng Songhai greeted in English with a smile, "Hello gentlemen, do you like diamonds?" ”

(My English level is very poor, so I won't waste time translating and just replace it with Chinese...... Inclusive, inclusive! ）

The two Caucasian men stopped and looked at Meng Songhai with a little curiosity.

The taller man smiled slightly, opened his mouth in English, and asked, "Do you have diamonds in your hand?" ”

"Yes!" Meng Songhai had a confident expression on his face, "I have a five-six-carat yellow diamond in my hand, emerald cut, the cut is perfect, the clarity is very high, and the color is very beautiful." ”

"Colored diamonds?!" A surprised expression appeared on the face of the shorter man, "Are you sure it's a yellow diamond, weighing five .six carats?" ”

"Yes!" Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Two gentlemen, are you interested?" ”

"If it's a yellow diamond, I'm interested." The slightly shorter man spoke a word in Chinese, although he was a little embarrassed, but Meng Songhai understood.

"Sir, do you speak Chinese?" Meng Songhai asked with a little curiosity, and he also began to speak Chinese.

"Will say a little. Can you show me your diamond? The man still spoke Chinese.

"Yes." Meng Songhai said, "But it can't be in your hands. ”

"No problem!"

Meng Songhai put his hand in his pocket, took out the diamond ring from the Qiankun ring, pinched it with the thumb and fingers of his right hand, and put it out for the two foreigners to see.

After waiting for the other party to take a few looks, Meng Songhai said: "I plan to find more interested buyers, and in a few days, hold an auction, and finally, sell to the highest bidder." ”

The slightly taller Caucasian man smiled, pointed to his companion beside him, spoke a word in Chinese, and introduced: "This Mr. Schmidt is the deputy manager of Sotheby's Hong Kong, if you have a gem set in this ring, he will give you a satisfactory price, you don't need to find other buyers at all." ”

"Really?" Meng Songhai was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes." Mr. Schmidt smiled and nodded, "Sir, I'm curious, how do you know it's a diamond?" ”

"Because it's my family heirloom."

"Since it's a family heirloom, why isn't your family not with you?" Mr. Schmidt asked again.

"My parents trust me."

"The gemstone on this diamond is beautiful, it may be a yellow diamond, but I can't be sure, even if it is in my hand, without the help of tools, I can't tell for sure whether it is a yellow diamond or not." Mr. Schmidt said.

"I'm sure it's a yellow diamond. Sir, how much do you think this beautiful yellow diamond is worth for such a big one? ”

"How much do you want to sell?" Mr. Schmidt asked rhetorically.

"The more the merrier. If the price is too low, I won't sell it. Meng Songhai smiled and handed the diamond ring to the other party, "Sir, you should take it in your hand and take a look, you can help me estimate how much you are willing to pay to buy it if it is a yellow diamond." ”

"Okay." Mr. Schmidt took the diamond, took out a high-powered magnifying glass from his pocket, put the diamond under the magnifying glass, looked at it a few times, and said with a smile, "Sir, congratulations, this gemstone is very similar to a colored diamond, if it is real, then it is very valuable." ”

Meng Songhai smiled slightly, did not answer, spread his hand, and said, "Mr. Schmidt, please return the diamond ring to me." ”

"Okay." Mr. Schmidt had no idea of illegally taking possession of it for himself, and returned the diamond ring to the other party.

Meng Songhai took back the diamond ring and asked, "Mr. Schmidt, you can tell me a price, and if the price is right, I will sell it to you." ”

"Uh......" Mr. Schmidt muttered, he was almost sure that the gem was a yellow diamond, and he would love to buy it at a lower price, but he realized that the young man in front of him was not a hillbilly who didn't know anything, and the other party's fluent English just now made him look up a few times.

Mr. Schmidt thought for a moment and said: "If it is true, there are 5.6 carats, then this colored diamond, I am willing to buy it at a price of 300 to 400,000 yuan, not for RMB cash, but for foreign exchange coupons, as far as I know, in your country, the purchasing power of foreign exchange coupons is greater than the same amount of renminbi." ”

"You're really a China expert." Meng Songhai smiled, "I'm very satisfied with the price you offered. How would you like to identify this diamond? ”

"It takes time, I made a phone call to Hong Kong, invited a professional from Hong Kong to come over, asked him to bring some professional instruments to Yanjing, after testing, it is determined that it is a yellow diamond, we will give you a satisfactory price according to the performance of this diamond."

"That's for the best."

Mr. Schmidt took out a note from his handbag and said, "I am staying at the Yanjing Hotel, and it has my room number and contact number on it. Seven days later, you come to the hotel to find me, and when the time comes, you will be able to determine the authenticity of this gem. Can you give me your contact details? ”

"Absolutely!"

Meng Songhai took out a note from his pocket that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to the other party.

Mr. Schmidt took the note, looked at the words written on it, and smiled and praised: "Sir, your handwriting is beautiful. ”

"Thank you!" Meng Songhai was not modest, first thanked him, and then asked curiously: "Do you know the simplified Chinese characters I wrote?" ”

"Recognize. Hehe, didn't you say it, I'm a China expert. ”

"That'...... Seven days later, we will see you again, and seven days later in the morning, I will go to the hotel to look for you. ”

"Okay. I hope you will be able to make it to your appointment...... See you or leave, that's a word that needs to be used here, right? ”

"Yes, it's a wonderful use." Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Two gentlemen, then I won't bother you, goodbye, see you in seven days." ”

"Bye-bye!"

After Meng Songhai said goodbye, he turned around and left directly.

Looking at the back of Monzon in the sea, Mr. Schmidt's companion smiled: "Schmidt, it is not difficult for you to check the authenticity of a diamond. I think you've just confirmed that gem is a diamond, right? ”

"Yes, it was a rare yellow diamond, and as for the weight, the man said the exact number, five .six carats, and I don't think there could be a mistake."

"Then why didn't you buy it just now, aren't you afraid of long nights and dreams?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm sure no one will pay more than me. I bought the yellow diamond mainly to get a lot of money at Sotheby's, and other buyers definitely wanted to make a lot of money from it, and the bid would not be too high. ”

"May Lady Luck bless you."

At this moment, Meng Songhai, who was speeding on the road on a bicycle, also thought of Lady Luck, he felt that he was the person with the highest luck value in the world, and Lady Luck was dedicated to him alone, otherwise, even if he was reborn in the tenth life, his luck would not always be so good.

Meng Songhai went home directly, and when he got home, he saw his father at home and told what had just happened with a smile.

"That foreigner really said that he could sell it for three or four hundred thousand?" Meng Dongyao asked happily.

"Yes, that's what he said." Meng Songhai smiled, "I guess that's what he said, and said the price a little higher, so as to prevent me from going to other buyers." ”

"And what do you think?"

"On the way back, I thought about it, I won't look for other buyers for the time being, and later, I will go out and call Liu Weidong and ask him not to look for a buyer first, if the foreign devil I met just now is willing to bid...... More than 250,000 yuan, the yellow diamond was sold to him. ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, hey......" Meng Dongyao sighed with a smile, "Little Fifth Son, you say, is our family an ancestor who has accumulated virtue and the ancestral tomb is smoking?" ”

"It's possible." Meng Songhai smiled, "When the yellow diamond is sold, our family, call the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law, and everyone will go to the grave of grandparents together." ”

"Good!"

Meng Songhai's grandparents died in the early sixties, at that time, he was not born, when he was a child, he would go to the grave of his grandparents with his family every year, as for his father's grandfather, that is, his great-grandfather, where he was buried, he did not know, never heard his father mention it.
