Chapter 600: The Best Ruby

The temporary warehouse in the mining area is in the camp they have just visited, and it is a simple house on the surface, but it is only an entrance, and the real warehouse is underground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Under normal circumstances, the gems here will be escorted out once a week, so there are not many goods here, and I don't know if they can get into Mr. Li's eyes."

Li Yi smiled slightly and didn't speak, if the mining area really can only leave a week's worth of goods, that so-called general should not be so enthusiastic, otherwise according to their current mining volume, even if he buys them all, it won't cost much money, what can they earn?

So there should still be some private goods hidden here, but whether the quality is good or not, and how much there is, should depend on the general's trust in these two guys.

The underground warehouse is only about 20 square meters, there is a circle of shelves around the room, the top layer of the shelves is full of trays filled with rough gemstones of various colors, and the lights are dozen, and those gems emit faint or brilliant treasure light, which is very dazzling.

"Here's a moonstone, here's a colored spinel, here's a ruby sapphire......"

Minden pointed to the gems on the shelves and introduced them to Li Yi one by one, and Li Yi silently followed behind him, only occasionally grabbing a handful of gems of interest and looking at them twice, but he never meant to ask about the price.

After the introduction of more than a dozen kinds of gemstone associated mines was completed, Minden saw that Li Yi still didn't speak, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and touched the wall casually a few times, and then there was a soft click, and a square secret grid was revealed on the wall, where a small safe was placed.

Opening the safe, Minden took a cloth bag out of it, and then he poured all the rough rubies into an empty tray.

"Mr. Li, the quality of this batch of rubies should be good......

Li Yi nodded, first picked up a few of the larger grains and looked at them carefully, and then grabbed a handful of relatively fine particles and put them in his hand to carefully examine them one by one.

The quality of the rough rubies was rough overall, but it was not attractive to him, because even the largest and best rough stones could not be cut more than 5 carats.

Seeing that Li Yi didn't seem to be satisfied, Minden and Dan Rui exchanged a look, quietly took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, and put it on the tray without opening it.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, pulled out a clearing on the tray with his hand, and then dumped the bag over.

With a few clinking sounds, 3 blood-red rubies of different sizes and colors rolled out, Li Yi frowned and picked up the largest of them, just glanced at it, and couldn't help but gasp in the bottom of his heart.

This is a rough pigeon's blood ruby, weighing at least 30 carats. Logically speaking, there is nothing too surprising about a rough stone of this size, but this one is different.

Because although this ruby is a rough stone, the quality is surprisingly good, not only does it not have a single stone skin, but if you only look at it with the naked eye, you can't even see a little impurities and cracks!

Li Yi frowned slightly, although he had not learned ruby cutting, but after all, he had a carving foundation, plus he could see through, so he quickly estimated the approximate weight of this rough after cutting.

At 20 carats, this rough is definitely capable of cutting a superb pigeon's blood ruby weighing close to or even more than 20 carats! In other words, the value of this rough stone alone will exceed 250 million soft girl coins!

After opening the perspective and taking a closer look at the inside of the ruby, Li Yi quietly put down the gem and picked up another slightly smaller one to look at.

This is also a pigeon's blood ruby, with the naked eye, there is also no stone skin and impurities, but the color is not as strong as there just now, but the shape is more convenient to cut, so it is also a small superlative.

Li Yi estimates that if cut correctly, at least a pigeon's blood ruby of more than 10 carats can be cut.

As for the other smallest one, the weight should also exceed 15 carats, although it is just an ordinary ruby, but no matter the color, clarity or transparency, it is almost close to the best of rubies, and it is also a rare treasure!

It's just that although these 3 rough stones are precious, they are too clean, and there is no gambling at all.

Although there is not much profit, this kind of superb product should not be encountered at any time, so Li Yi hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask the price first.

"Mr. Minden, how do you sell these 3 pills?"

"The largest one weighs 33 carats, this one weighs 22 carats, and the smallest one weighs 17 carats. Mr. Li, you should be able to see that although these three are still rough stones, they are basically no different from the best rubies that have been cut, except that they are not cut, so ......"

Minden hesitated for a moment, and finally he glanced at Dan Rui, as if he had made some decision, and whispered:

"$32 million, 3 pills for a total of $32 million!"

Li Yi was taken aback, he was almost a little suspicious of his ears, 3 pills are only 32 million in total?

A top-quality pigeon's blood ruby that is close to 20 carats after cutting, a pigeon's blood ruby that is more than 10 carats, plus a high-quality ruby that is likely to be more than 10 carats, these add up to sell for at least 350 million soft girl coins, and now, his opening price is only 32 million?

Li Yi frowned in confusion, the situation of these three rough stones, even if a jewelry appraiser who is not very good, can almost estimate their value, and Minden, as a mine owner, is also responsible for trading, if he does not understand the current ruby market, it should be impossible......

Not to mention, there are generals above them......

Thinking of this, Li Yi was suddenly taken aback, he thought of one of the biggest points, that is, how could the general put such a precious ruby in their hands with confidence? Moreover, since the so-called general was able to completely control this ruby mine, how could he not have other trustworthy shipping channels, why did he have to deal with someone who had never dealt with him before and was introduced by the Independence Army?

There must be a problem here!

Li Yi took the three rubies in his hand, opened the perspective boy and looked at them carefully, there is indeed no problem with the rubies, so the problem must be with these two people!

He reluctantly put the gem back in its place, revealing a look of embarrassment,

"It stands to reason that the price is not excessive, but unfortunately I don't have that much money right now. Otherwise, the two of you will contact the general, and I will pay part of it first, and I will pay the rest within a month......"

"Mr. Li, how much money do you have now?"

"It's less than 30 million, Dan Rui should know, I spent 30 million on wool, although I haven't paid yet, but this money must be set aside...... Otherwise, the wool should not have been transported away, so I will call immediately and ask them to unload 3 tons first......"

Li Yi took out his mobile phone as he spoke, and was about to dial, but Minden's eyes flashed, and he suddenly reached out to stop him.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, can you tell me how much money you have left?"

"More than 29 million, it should be about 29.2 million."

"Okay, then 29.2 million, 29.2 million to buy these two pigeon blood rubies, it should be a very good deal."

Min Deng was about to put away the smallest ruby as he spoke, but he didn't expect Li Yi to smile slightly, this time it was his turn to stop him.

"Mr. Minden, compared to those wool materials that don't know the color, I prefer this kind of transaction without risk, so don't be busy cleaning up first, let's return 3 tons of wool, I think, this transaction volume is so large, the general should not bother me."

Li Yi said as he looked up the number by himself, but Yu Guang paid attention to the expressions of Minden and Dan Rui from time to time, if these two people really had a problem, they would never let him make this call.

Sure enough, seeing that Li Yi was about to dial, Dan Rui spoke,

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment, that's the case, that batch of wool is not controlled by the general alone, and these three rubies are the general's private property, so if you return some of the wool to buy rubies, it should bring some trouble to the general...... You wait a minute, I'll give the general a call and see what he will do. ”

"Well, then please Mr. Dan Rui must make it clear on the phone, I will definitely ask for these three rubies, as for those wool, anyway, there is such a large amount, it really doesn't matter if there is more or less."

Hearing this, Dan Rui, who had already turned around and was about to go to the ground to make a call, froze slightly, then turned his head and grinned at him, and walked out from the entrance of the basement.

Within two minutes, Than Shwe was back in the basement with a smile on his face and a very relaxed look.

"The problem is solved, Mr. Li, congratulations, the general agreed to sell you these 3 rubies at a price of 29 million, and he also said that if Mr. Li still needs to buy wool and rubies next time, he can contact me or Wang Gang directly, and he will definitely prepare the best materials for you......"

Li Yi smiled and nodded, but he understood in his heart that the general should not know about this transaction at all, or that the so-called general may have been made up by them, and these three rubies should be the private goods of these two guys......

However, no matter whose private goods it is, it is for him to take advantage of it anyway, although it is not completely risk-free here, but as long as he quickly leaves Myanmar or hides in Myitkyina as soon as he gets the gem, then it should not matter if these two guys are exposed......

After thinking about everything before and after, Li Yi pinched his brows and made up his mind, this risk is worth taking!

Seeing Li Yi nodding, Minden and Dan Rui's faces showed a look of relief. Only then, the two sides disagreed on the location of the transaction.

What Minden meant was that it was best to trade directly in the mining area, and if it really didn't work, it would be okay to trade in Mogok, but since Li Yi knew that there was a problem with the three rubies, how could he be willing to take the risk of going from Mogok to Mandalay? Therefore, he directly bitten it to death, either he didn't buy it, otherwise, the trading place must only be Mandalay!

Seeing that Li Yi was so resolute, Minden and Than Shwe discussed for a while, and finally had to make concessions and make a deal in Mandalay!

Since I had to go to Mandalay to trade, I had to walk back at night, and the safety was a bit unguaranteed, and I couldn't make a large transfer at night, so Than Shwe decided to stay in Mogok City for one night and then rush back to Mandalay early tomorrow morning.

After everything was discussed, the atmosphere between several people relaxed, and after a few casual chats, Li Yi suddenly asked:

"Mr. Minden, I heard that there is a special gem trading market in Mogok, but it seems that only locals are allowed to buy and sell, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Minden was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant by asking, but he replied honestly:

"It is true that there is a trading market, although it is stipulated that only locals can trade, but if Mr. Li wants to buy, there are still many ways."

Then he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out, with a regretful expression on his face,

"It's just that the trading market is only open for 3 hours at noon every day, and even if we set off now and rush back to Mogok, it's dinner time, so Mr. Li, I only have the opportunity to visit again next time."

"Next time? I don't know how long it will be before I come over next time...... Well, I won't be able to go back to Mandalay until tomorrow anyway, so I'll leave later and visit the gem ......market in the morning."

Hearing that Li Yi was actually going to visit the gem trading market, Minden couldn't wait to give himself a big mouth, and directly told him that non-locals couldn't trade it, and it would be over, but he would have to make extraneous branches...... No, this kid is still thinking about going to the trading market, does he still have money?

Minden gritted his back molars hatefully, feeling that he was probably deceived by Li Yi just now, but their last excuse was that the general also agreed, and now even if they knew that Li Yi still had money, it was impossible to add more, but ......

"Mr. Li Yi, the amount of this transaction is too large, and there is a risk of delaying it for a moment more, and there are no good goods in that trading market, if you really want to buy more rubies, it is better to return to Mandalay and let Dan Shwe take you to find it, the price is not much different from here......"

Seeing that Minden was a little unhappy, Li Yi shook his head helplessly, he also knew the risk of delaying for an extra moment, but the reason why he did this also had his own considerations.

Because he had already checked that there were only two flights from Mandalay to Myitkyin, the one in the morning they could not catch up in any case, and the remaining one took off in the evening. If they had set out from Mogok early in the morning and rushed back to Mandalay to complete the deal, he would have to wait more than half a day before leaving, and at this time the ruby was in his hands, and the risk was entirely up to him.

However, if he can delay until the afternoon to get back to Mandalay, then as soon as the deal is completed, he can fly away directly, and the possibility of an accident in such a short period of time is much smaller.

Although he knew that Minden and the others were more worried than him, and it was impossible to take the initiative to leak it, there were no absolutes in the world, and it was better to be careful.

In a word, try to delay the transaction as much as possible, because, whose hand is the ruby, the risk is on whose side! (To be continued.) )
