Chapter 52 Sky-high Transactions
PS: Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
As the on-site person in charge of the heavyweight exhibitor, Li Ai knew the truth of what happened the day before yesterday very clearly, which also made him even more uneasy about the security measures of the exhibition.
He turned around and rushed towards the VIP room, while signaling the other staff to hurry up and help, but he didn't expect to hear a roar from Mr. Wang, who had not yet gotten up from the ground, as soon as he entered the VIP room:
"You all go out, no one is allowed to come in!"
Li Ai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took two steps forward to help Wang Haoqing up with Li Yi, and then nodded with a smile and retreated.
"Wait, bring the thermal conductivity meter and magnifying glass, well, and an electronic balance."
After Li Ai withdrew, Wang Haoqing smiled and explained to Li Yi,
"Brother, this diamond of yours is so precious, although I can be sure that it is real at a glance, but for the sake of prudence, I still have to use some instruments, this is not a suspicion......"
Li Yi smiled and waved his hand, it doesn't matter, just look at it, the more carefully you look at it, the better, there is no doubt before you can talk about business!
After a while, Li Ai walked in and put things on the table, and then retreated.
Wang Haoqing turned on the lamp on the table, first tested it with a thermal conductivity meter, and then brought a magnifying glass to observe carefully, the more he looked, the more frightened he became, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, he didn't expect this trip to Yangnan to bring him such a big surprise!
What Li Yi took out was one of the two ocean-blue diamonds, and it was this diamond that made Wang Haoqing, who was about to sit down, so shocked that he accidentally fell to the bottom.
"Clarity if, cut proportions, perfect, polished, perfect, finished, perfect...... Perfectly cut on 57 sides, with a special treatment much like that of Louis Boya's hand...... Brother, are you sure this is handed down by your ancestors? ”
"Well, I can go back almost 1930, I don't know before that."
"That's right, it's Louis Boya's cut."
Wang Haoqing put the diamond into the electronic balance and motioned Li Yi to watch it with him, 19:33 carats, which was 4 carats more than Li Yi's estimate!
Wang Haoqing let out a long breath, leaned back on the seat, and lowered his head to calculate. Just when Li Yi couldn't help but ask, he suddenly said:
"Brother Li, I guess you want to transfer the diamond to me?"
Li Yi shook his head,
"This one really just wants you to help me take a look, and these ones just want to see if you want to."
As he spoke, Li Yi took out four more diamonds from his pocket, one was a pink diamond, one was a white diamond of about ten carats, and the other two were six or seven carat white diamonds.
Wang Haoqing's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, did not speak, silently began to check one by one, and finally weighed, pink diamond 4.45 carats, large white diamond 9.78 carats, small white diamond 8.77 carats, one 6.52 carats, all 57 sides of the perfect cut.
Wang Haoqing pondered for a long time, and first picked out the pink diamond,
"I'll give you 2.8 million for this one."
Then pick up the 9-carat, 8-carat, and 6-carat diamonds one by one, and quote them separately,
"6.2 million, 4.5 million, 3.2 million, a total of ......"
He took out his phone and pressed it for a while,
"It's a total of 16.7 million, I'll add another 300,000 to you to make up a whole number, 17 million!"
Li Yi quickly estimated the value of the remaining diamonds in his heart, and nodded with satisfaction. It seems that even if he doesn't sell those two big diamonds, the others can be sold for about 60 million, and his valuation has not deviated much.
"Brother Li, the cost price of general diamond jewelry is mainly composed of diamonds, ring materials, processing fees, and other factors include the impact of the market and the US dollar, in addition, the price of diamond jewelry should be added to the manufacturer's brand value, labor costs, store operation costs, so that the price of diamond jewelry will probably be about twice as high as the cost price. Of course, the diamonds you offer, especially the 9 carat one, and the pink diamond don't necessarily apply this formula, but that's how they are priced overall. ”
Seeing Li Yi nodding, Wang Haoqing continued:
"The reason why I explain these is to tell you that the price of loose diamonds cannot be compared with the price of those diamond jewelry products seen on the market, although the larger the diamond jewelry, the greater the impact of loose diamonds, but this price is really the highest price I can come up with!"
Li Yi smiled and nodded,
"Mr. Wang, I didn't say that this price is not okay, so ...... Do we make deals? ”
Wang Haoqing waved his hand,
"Don't worry, have you heard of Louis Boya?"
Li Yi shook his head, even if he had heard of it, it was the one that Wang Haoqing had just said.
Louis Boya was a master diamond cutter in the Netherlands in the thirties and forties of the last century, and his works were once collected by many European royal families. Your big blue diamond is his handiwork, and the other small diamonds should have been cut by Dutch master cutters, but these people are not as famous as Louis Boya. ”
Wang Haoqing took a sip of mineral water and organized the language,
"There are very few works circulating in Louis Boya on the market now, and the reason why I tell you this, as well as the composition of the price of the diamond jewelry just now, is that I hope you can sell me that big diamond."
He picked up the big diamond, waved his hand, and stopped Li Yi from speaking,
"I don't know what you want to do with this diamond, but I want to say that this diamond is not suitable for ordinary people."
"In addition, I will not price you according to the formula just now, I will calculate it for you according to the price of the finished product, that is, according to the selling price of the final diamond jewelry. Because my company is in great need of top-of-the-line jewelry to go further, but until now I have not come across a more suitable and perfect diamond than yours. So, Brother Li, my brother is here to solemnly ask you to help me. ”
Li Yi groaned, as Wang Haoqing said, those two big diamonds had no special use in his hands, and even if he found a girlfriend in the future, he would not dare to wear them to her. The reason why he didn't want to sell it was that he wanted to ask more for a price, and second, every one of these best products was hard to find, not to mention that it was almost the same pair. If he sells it, if he needs it in the future, he can't just find it.
But Wang Haoqing said this, it would be inappropriate for him to take it to other places to inquire about the price, and no matter who he sold it to in the future, he would inevitably offend Wang Haoqing, since this is the case, then you might as well listen to his offer.
"I'll give you 47 million for this diamond!"
47 million! This price shocked Li Yi. He learned this, knowing that the queen of music, Mariah Carey, owned a giant diamond weighing 20.44 carats "Sky Star", and in 2006, the price was only 23 million. Even if we add the inflation factor of the past ten years, and this is a more precious sea blue diamond, the final price of the finished product is estimated to exceed 50 million at most.
But be warned, this is the selling price, and the purchase price of a loose diamond like this will probably not even account for half of the entire selling price! The more well-known the company's brand, the higher the added value, such as the "Sky Star" was sold by the world-renowned Cartier company, and the value of the loose diamond is likely to be less than 10 million!
Speaking of which, Li Yi can't sell this diamond unless he never sells it, and he is really satisfied with this offer, so after pondering for a while, he nodded,
"Brother Wang, what courage! These diamonds are yours! ”
Wang Haoqing slapped his face excitedly, then carefully put away the diamond and handed it to Li Yi.
"You wait here for a while, I'll prepare the contract, and raise some money, on the surface, it looks like we are very glamorous, but in fact, we are also very poor, haha!"
Wang Haoqing went out, Li Yi sat in his seat, looked at the five diamonds in front of him stupidly, and suddenly felt as if he had entered a strange and strange world! It was a world full of bizarre and gold-hungry people, and gold and banknotes were flying all over the sky......
