Chapter 1038: The First Diamond in the World [Part II]
Oval meeting room in the Arce mining area.
may be because Liu Yuhao can have a "seemingly demonic" thing every once in a while, so Teng Yi has long been accustomed to it, but he can maintain a little calmness, pour water for everyone after being busy, and deal with logistics support work.
But Tengtie can't do it.
Although he often hears his brother on the phone say something about how powerful Brother Liu is, how invincible he is, and so on, it is not his own personal experience after all.
Although Teng Tie is not still scolding his brother for talking nonsense, he is still a little dismissive.
But now, he's completely convinced!
Of course, it was not only Tengtie himself who was stunned, but Uncle Deng and those foreign executives also showed incredible shock on their faces.
Everyone knows that the pothole was a bonanza more than a decade ago.
And more than half of the people present had been to the pothole, and some had more than once or twice.
But many people didn't find out, or they didn't expect at all, that someone could dig out a huge diamond rough in a hole that had been abandoned for more than ten years!
The word "oversized" is used because there is no way to prove how many carats this rough diamond is.
In fact, everyone has almost counted in their hearts, but no one dares to admit it first.
Presumably, but it won't be long before the word "oversized" will have to be changed to a few other words to match the identity of the diamond.
"Tengtie, how big do you visually see this blank?"
Uncle Deng tried his best to keep his eyes open a little wider, after all, the old man was a person who had passed through the strong wind, and after being deeply shocked, he could finally be the first to react, but his voice was a little trembling.
Teng Tie mechanically twisted his neck and transferred it to Uncle Deng's face for a while, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know." ”
"Vine, it's bigger than Cullinan, I'm sure of that."
A big nose standing behind Teng Tie shrugged his shoulders, his surprised eyes matched with a sour tone, and the expression on the face of the foreign executive was not unexciting.
Cullinan, the name of one of the world's largest rough diamonds, was discovered in 1905 at the Premir Mine in South Africa, and it is pure and transparent, with a pale blue hue and a weight of 3,106 carats.
Later, the world's largest rough diamond was processed into 9 large diamonds and 96 smaller diamonds.
One of the largest grains is well-known to the world, which later became the "Star of Africa".
The Star of Africa was in the shape of a droplet, and because of its colorless and transparent, blemish-free and excellent texture, it was agreed that it should be shipped to London and presented to King Edward VII.
This unique piece was eventually placed on the scepter of the King of England as a gift to King Edward VII on his 66th birthday. The next largest one is square, and it is set in the crown of the British Empire.
Teng Tie pursed his lips and ignored the foreign executive.
But he knew that what the foreign executive said was indeed true, Cullinan was only the size of a fist, but the diamond blank in front of him was the size of two fists, almost twice the size of Cullinan.
Now Teng Tie can finally understand why his younger brother worships Brother Liu to the point of fanaticism, if it were him, he would have seen the appearance of peerless treasures every once in a while, he might be even crazier than Teng Yi.
Of course, there are also a very few foreign executives who secretly beat their chests with regret after reminiscing, crying why they are not the ones who missed them.
It's not that those people are because of the eyes of power.
It's one thing to get a huge fortune out of thin air, but it's another thing to become famous because of this giant diamond.
The people who can enter this conference room today are all the elites of the gem world, and they only need to take a look at the flawless rock sugar coat that is perfect to the diamond rough, and they can imagine how beautiful and moving the "peerless beauty" hidden inside is, and they can also estimate what kind of crazy emotions human beings will show once such a huge hair diamond is born.
You know, it's not everywhere you find diamonds that are as crystal clear as a dust-free virgin.
If the diamond is positioned as D and the clarity can reach IF, the name of the person who discovered the rough diamond will forever be recorded in the history of diamonds in the world, and will be admired and admired by mankind for generations.
There may be people in this world who can not be moved by money, but there are very few people who are not moved by "fame".
Who doesn't want to leave something behind?
In the crowd present, in addition to the obvious shock engraved on their faces, there seemed to be some longing and envy, and even more directly revealed the jealousy in their hearts.
But Liu Yuhao didn't have the slightest consciousness of "about to become famous", but looked at Xiao Nizi with a wicked smile.
"It's silly to laugh like that."
Xiao Nizi puffed out her small mouth and glared at Liu Yuhao, with a slight look of coy in her expression. I'm afraid that this will only have a few words in Xiao Nizi's heart, "Liu Yuhao, this guy is hateful".
Speaking of the reason, I'm afraid to talk about a conversation between the two a few minutes ago.
"I'd like to check it out, too."
"Look at that thing, is there anything in this world that is not as beautiful as my wife?"
Everyone else looked around the diamond blank with great interest, and some even danced excitedly, but Liu Yuhao was good, and he stopped Xiao Nizi several times to prevent him from passing.
"Poor, you poor!"
If you don't go over, you can't go over, Xiao Nizi thinks that she is not the kind of person who is shocked.
The key thing that makes people angry is that Liu Yuhao is still stupidly saying witty things that make people blush, the corners of his eyebrows are raised, and he smiled: "That thing is our own, we can watch it whenever we want." ”
This sentence didn't sound like much, Xiao Nizi just nodded her little head very obediently, which was tacit.
But then, Liu Yuhao immediately revealed his true form, smashed his mouth, and said with a smile: "Forget it, you better go over and take a look now, I'm afraid we won't have much time at night." ”
"Why?"
Xiao Nizi's beautiful big eyes blinked, and she looked at Liu Yuhao with a puzzled expression.
Liu Yuhao laughed heartily, "As soon as I saw such a beautiful wife, I only remembered OX, where can I think of any diamonds"
"Boom!" Boom!
Xiao Nizi's face turned red, and she knocked Liu Yuhao on the head fiercely.
Liu Yuhao was caught off guard by the knock, and was just about to cover his head and gasp, when the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a person hurriedly broke in outside, shouting: "Here, bring something!" ”
Uncle Deng immediately took the delicate leather suitcase, took out a special measuring scale from it, and put it in the center of the table with a reverent face.
In an instant, the chatter in the room stopped, and everyone held their breath, all eyes focused on the small scale.
"Woo Ho"
Uncle Deng glanced back at Liu Yuhao, which meant to tell Liu Yuhao that he was going to weigh the diamond rough.
Liu Yuhao waved his hand vigorously, and said: "Uncle Deng, you are always an expert, you can make your own ideas on what to do, I'm just a fungivers, and I don't know diamonds, but I stumbled upon it when I was sampling, you really don't have to worry about me!" ”
What a trick for the golden cicada to get out of the shell!
Liu Yuhao cleaned himself first, and did not mention that he had discovered this diamond rough from beginning to end, and attracted everyone's attention to the diamond.
It's a good strategy!
It's lightweight, which one of the others doesn't want to "accidentally"? But you have to have a chance!
Hearing Liu Yuhao's statement, a few people quietly lowered their heads, their eyes were red, and the regret in their hearts was even stronger, why did they stay in this place for many years, and they never went around, so it was an "accident"!
Ay! The feeling of blood dripping from the tip of my heart!
At this time, Uncle Deng was like a Venerable who was about to hold a holy ceremony, and carefully wiped the soil outside the diamond blank with a flannel cloth several times, before taking a deep breath, holding the hair diamond with both hands and gently placing it on the measuring instrument.
The special electronic balance itself has the function of unit conversion carat, and the accuracy is generally one in 10,000, when the sound of "tick" sounds, everyone's heart is suddenly mentioned in the throat, and the mood that has just calmed down is tense again.
Teng Tie felt that his heart was almost unbearable, his eardrum was swollen, and the vibration frequency of his temples and the tip of his heart was almost equal, thumping.
Several engineers waiting beside Uncle Deng also acted quickly, some holding ultraviolet fluorescent lamps, some turning on their own special polarizers, and some holding density meters and specific gravity
As long as Uncle Deng finished weighing, these people would methodically calculate the rough diamond according to Uncle Deng's previous arrangement, and use it to record its first information.
In fact, this information will surely go down in history along with this rough diamond!
As a result, the engineers assigned to the job all had uncontrollable excitement on their faces, and some even sneaked a touch of the ballpoint pen on their chest that was used as a record.
The room was surprisingly quiet!
Apart from the uneven sound of heavy breathing, people did not dare to notice a single sound.
Originally, it was for everyone to share the joy of discovering the oversized diamond rough, but now it seems that the so-called joy has become the biggest burden on everyone's heart at the moment.
Liu Yuhao smiled helplessly.
He just saw that one of the engineers actually wanted to cough a little, but the engineer pinched his throat with his hand and endured it, and said in his heart: "If I knew this, I might as well accept Uncle Deng's suggestion and weigh it in a closed and dust-free professional measurement room." ”
Uncle Deng suddenly turned his head and glanced at Liu Yuhao.
Everyone's eyes also followed Uncle Deng and looked towards Liu Yuhao.
Liu Yuhao smiled and said, "Let's talk about the result directly." ”
Uncle Deng nodded and said word by word: "12,080 carats, the real first diamond in the world!" ”
