After Li Yi carefully observed the rough diamonds in the tray, he quickly noticed a problem, that is, the proportion of gem-quality diamonds in the rough produced in the past few days seems to have suddenly increased by a notch!

Moreover, this increase is not an ordinary increase, if the ratio of industrial diamonds to gem diamonds was about 50% to 50%, now the ratio has become 20% to 80%!

"It seems that the proportion of high-quality products has changed a lot, is it an accident?"

He picked up a diamond and looked at it carefully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Probably not. Mr. Li, three days ago, the diamond mine dug a new rock formation, and then the ratio suddenly increased from the original half to half to almost 2 to 8. And, if you haven't noticed, the overall quality of a gem-quality diamond after the change in proportions is also two steps higher than that of the previous diamond! ”

"Oh? The quality has also improved? ”

Li Yi only noticed the change in the ratio of the two before, and also noticed that the number of diamonds with relatively good quality seemed to be a little more, but he just classified this change into the change in proportion, but he didn't expect that the overall quality had all improved, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but pick up the magnifying glass on the table and look at it carefully one by one again.

He carefully observed the rough stones left on the original mine, and found that most of the colors of the gem-quality diamonds were H and I, that is, white and yellowish white, and only a few could reach the G grade. In the past three days, the number of diamonds mined in the past three days is very small, most of them are white, and even about 10% of the color has reached the F grade of excellent white!

Moreover, the color change is only one aspect, the most important thing is that the clarity of the diamond has also changed a lot, the original clarity grade is concentrated in the SI grade of small flaws, about 30% of which can reach a very small VS grade, but most of them stay in VS2 grade, but now, not only 80% of the grades have reached the VS grade, of which 20% have also reached the VVS slightly imperfection grade!

In addition, the number of large diamonds weighing more than one carat seems to be quite high......

It turned out to be an all-round improvement in quantity, color, clarity, and weight, and it did increase by more than one grade!

"What's going on?"

He tossed his magnifying glass aside and played with a newly mined rough stone weighing more than 5 carats, his heart full of amazement.

"It's probably because of the new rock formations. Mr. Li, after I found out about this change, I started to look up the information, and finally, I saw a similar case in a magazine more than ten years ago, which was a pit in the Argyle mining area of Australia, at that time, they also dug a new rock formation, and then found that the proportion of pink diamonds has increased greatly. It's just that, like ours this time, there is no precedent for all-round improvement, including quantity. ”

Han Fu's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Li Yi, he felt that Li Yi should have foreseen this change a long time ago, otherwise, how could he explain that he just went around the mine and decided to spend a lot of money to buy this diamond mine in the sunset?

But that's amazing, isn't it? Even this can be foreseen?

He suddenly remembered what Li Yi had said that day when he accompanied Li Yi to sweep the target, he could smell the smell of diamonds! I couldn't help but feel a great hope in my heart, perhaps, in those targets, a new diamond mine could really be discovered!

Han Fu was a little frightened by Li Yi, and as for Guangming and Zheng Shusen, they had already listened stupidly. Although Han Fu told them that there had been a gratifying change in the quality of the newly mined diamonds, he didn't say it in such detail, so at this moment, they were grabbing a handful of diamonds by themselves, desperately verifying the changes that Li Yi had just said.

"Is there a precedent because new rock formations have been discovered? This explanation is reluctant to say in the past, but this is really amazing, this can't be a flash in the pan, right? ”

"I'm not sure yet, but I don't think so. Because if that happens, the changes that have taken place in the past few days are even more inexplicable. ”

"So, I bought a gold ingot by accident? Hahahaha, this luck is simply invincible! ”

Li Yi thinks that this is indeed the truth, because the mineral thing, if there is no change in quality, once there is a change, it is definitely not measured in a few days of mining cycle. Because the movement of the earth's crust is not so boring, just to carry such a small amount to amuse everyone.

That is to say, once there is a situation like the one they encountered, it will often be maintained for a long time, and this long period of time will definitely be counted over the years, and most of the time it will be maintained!

"Mr. Li, this is more than a gold ingot! If there is only a change in the proportion, it can only be said that your acquisition can pay for itself. But like now, the overall quality has risen by two levels, and the value of this mine, I am afraid that doubling is underestimated! ”

Li Yi smiled and nodded, doubled? Hehe, when you see the big yellow diamond dug up, tell me the specific value of this mine!

"Mr. Han, today's diamond selection has been selected, will I send it to you now?"

Several people were enjoying the joy of the change in the quality of the mineral deposit in their own way, and suddenly there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and today's diamond was selected.

"Quick, get it right away!"

Han Fu rushed to the door in a few steps, opened the door, and said to his assistant impatiently.

"Okay, please wait."

Five minutes later, the diamonds selected today were escorted to the conference room by several security guards, Han Fu snatched the small cotton bag from the assistant's hand, found an empty tray, and made a crisp sound, and then several heads in the office came over.

"It should be right, the quality has changed fundamentally!"

Han Fu took a magnifying glass, and after hurriedly looking at more than a dozen rough stones, he straightened up and announced the discovery, while Zheng Shusen held a yellow diamond weighing at least 8 carats, with an obsessive look on his face.

"The best yellow diamond with flawless brilliant yellow color, this shape, if the knife work is good, maybe you can cut out a 200 hedron, which is worth a lot of money......"

"Oh? And 200 hedral cuts? Let me see. ”

Li Yi reached out and took the diamond and looked at it carefully.

One of the 4Cs of a diamond is cut, which is for brilliant-cut diamonds. All else being equal, brilliant-cut diamonds are considered to be the most valuable.

As a round diamond, the standard brilliant cut (57-58 faces), also a classical lathe, is a very classic and perfect cut, as for the difference between these 1 faces, it is in the sharpest part of the diamond - the culet.

In general, diamonds smaller than 5 carats do not have a culet, which is 57 facets. In order to protect the diamond from damage, the culet of large particles will generally be smoothed, so there is one more face, that is, 58 faces.

However, with the development of cutting technology, there are more and more surfaces that can be cut, and people usually think that the more cutting surfaces, the more shining, so there are 74 masks, 88 faces, 112 faces and other cutting technologies, the most of which is 200 surface cutting.

For a round diamond of the same size and quality, the price of a 200-sided cut is much more expensive than that of a 57-hedron, but this situation is not absolute, and it depends on the situation of the diamond.

The diamond in Li Yi's hand is indeed likely to be cut into a 200-hedron, if this kind of cutting can finally reach a perfect cut, then the value of this diamond alone may exceed 15 million!

"It seems that the proportion of yellow diamonds has also increased."

"Well, many of them were yellowing white diamonds before, but now, they have become real yellow diamonds, Mr. Li. I really admire your vision! ”

Han Fu endured it for a long time, and finally said this sentence, and after saying it, the whole person was relieved, as if even his body was a lot lighter.

"Hehe, I said it a long time ago, my luck is basically invincible in terms of finding jewelry and jade! By the way, how is the exploration progressing these days? ”

"Well, that's right, one of their most important pieces of equipment just arrived the afternoon before yesterday, and they also looked at a few targets before, but they were not very optimistic."

"Not too optimistic? It doesn't matter, the rest is simply over, the targets in the No. 2 valley, not only to carefully explore and understand, but also to increase the scope and depth of exploration, I always feel that there should be goods there. ”

After Li Yi had gone to the target in the depths of Valley 2 with him before, he had said similar things, but Han Fu didn't pay attention to it at all. But now it's different, without Li Yi's orders, he will focus on those targets in the No. 2 valley, especially the target that Li Yi walked around for more than an hour at the end!

"In principle, the sales situation is still shipped according to the original channel, but Mr. Zheng, you have to grasp it, the diamonds that may be used by the jewelry company must be intercepted first, and the settlement price is 9% off according to the market price, and your own company always has to take advantage of it, right? Does Mr. Han have any comments on this? ”

"No, no!"

"Well, then let's go here today, and then observe for another week, and then you will improve the quality of mineral deposits, as well as the purchase price of jewelry companies, form two reports, and send one to me, Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Wang. Oh, by the way, and the minority shareholder with 0.5% of the shares, what's her name? ”

"Ning Ji, I've met a few times before, a lady with a very temperament."

"Oh, this person is quite strange, the company has changed so much, it's okay for her to come here, she doesn't even have a phone, what is she doing?" (To be continued.) )
