took the cloth bag handed by Chu Tianjiang and opened it, and Stewart was immediately dumbfounded.

"This ...... It's ......" Stewart carefully took out a diamond as red as blood, his hand still trembling slightly. "It's a blood diamond!?"

"What, you think it's red glass?"

"No, of course not, it's just that I've never seen a blood diamond this big."

"Really?" Chu Tianjiang was also a little surprised. In order to find out the value of colored diamonds, Chu Tianjiang deliberately mixed red, blue, green and yellow diamonds into the bag of diamonds for Stewart, and one each, the smallest one selected, weighing about five carats.

"I've only seen a blood diamond about a carat before."

"Blood diamonds are valuable?"

Stewart nodded quickly and said, "This blood diamond is worth more than a whole bag of diamonds, and its value is about five hundred times that of a colorless diamond of the same weight." I don't know the color of this blood diamond, if it is the finest, it is even 2,000 times that of a colorless diamond. ”

"What about the blue diamond?"

"And blue diamonds?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded, and Stewart hurriedly opened his pocket, rummaged through it, and found the other three colored diamonds buried underneath.

"Lao Chu, you really impress me."

"Really? It's just a few diamonds. ”

"Just a few diamonds!?" Stewart glanced out of the car, then put the four colored diamonds in another pocket. "Do you know the truth? Not to mention this bag of diamonds, even one of these four diamonds may cause us to die. ”

"Don't worry, no one in this world can kill me."

"I'm not you, not as good as you."

"With me, no one can kill you." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "How about it, the other three colored diamonds are also very valuable, right?" ”

"The blue diamond was worth about the same as a blood diamond, the green diamond was a little bit worse than the yellow diamond, and it was much more valuable than a colorless diamond." Stewart smiled and said, "The most valuable is the blood diamond, that is, the red diamond, the blue diamond is about the same value as the red diamond, and the green diamond is worse than the yellow diamond." ”

"Are these diamonds enough?"

"That's enough, not to mention according to your request, even if we get to Salt Lake City, it's enough for us to buy thousands of slaves."

"The matter of Salt Lake City, let's talk about it when we get to Salt Lake City, and take care of the things in front of us first. Remember, don't skimp on money, it's still there. When you go to Houston, I'll give you a few more fancy colored diamonds for you to keep. Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Money comes from things outside the body, and it is not brought in life or death." Whether there is money or not is not the main question at all, the key is how to spend it when you have it. ”

"I'm afraid, in this world, you are the only one who thinks so."

"Not necessarily, at least that's what Andre and Nichol think."

Stewart smiled and said, "To be honest, I didn't understand until now that a powerful character like Andre would follow you to the bottom of his mind. In this world, the vast majority of people are not thinking about how to spend money, but about how to make more money. ”

"You too?"

"I'm a layman, so of course I'm not exempt from it."

"Then try to change. Of course, if you can't change it, it's nothing, after all, we are all laypeople, it's just that our values are different. ”

Stewart smiled and didn't say anything more.

Because Clara and Nichol were going to come along, and spent a lot of time washing and grooming, Clara also pestered Nichole to use a giant blood diamond and some blue diamonds made last night to create a diamond necklace for her, and it took a lot of time, so it was too late for everyone to come to the slave trading market in the suburbs, the first batch of slaves had already been sent to the trading table, and several slave traders were competing to bid.

Interestingly, the diamond necklace that Clara wore around her neck didn't attract much attention.

Obviously, no one has ever seen a blood diamond that big, no one has ever seen so many blue diamonds, and no one has ever seen a necklace set entirely with colored diamonds. Not to mention the others, even Stewart thought that Clara's connection was set with rubies and sapphires, and others would probably think it was stained glass. Although the value of rubies and sapphires is not low, they are far less than diamonds, let alone colored diamonds.

Chu Tianjiang said very clearly, after buying all the women and children, Stewart did not delay, and hurriedly went to the transaction management office to pay the deposit and receive the bidding card to participate in the bidding transaction. The quality of the first ten slave girls was good, and when Stewart rushed back, the bidding was not over.

There is money in the bag, so I naturally don't panic.

When Stewart doubled the bid, the other merchants lowered their bids.

Next, three batches of thirty slave girls who were driven to the trading table were bought by Stewart at a price that was unattainable by other merchants.

Stewart let it go, and there was no need for Chu Tianjiang to intervene.

Chu Tianjiang's attention was not on the trading desk in the center, but on the opposite side of the trading floor, sitting with the young deacon and three bodyguards, and with more than a dozen guards, Perez. The trading hall is more like a circular arena, with a central trading table rising two meters above the ground and slowly rotating in a counterclockwise direction. Slaves for sale were plucked naked and rinsed with water before being driven to the trading desk. The personnel standing on the trading table to maintain order used the whips in their hands to force the slaves to bring their legs together and their arms at their sides. As the trading table rotates slowly, the merchants sitting in the surrounding stands can see the whole body of the slaves, so as to evaluate the quality of the slaves, and then decide on the bidding based on the results of the evaluation, and finally trade through auction.

Perez also stared at Chu Tianjiang, to be precise, at Clara and Nicol beside Chu Tianjiang and behind him.

Presumably, the quality of the first four batches of female slaves did not meet the minimum requirements of Perez, and he never made a bid. It wasn't until the fifth batch of female slaves came to power that the second small climax of the day's auction arrived.

According to Stewart, the auction of entertainment slaves is very different from that of labor slaves, that is, the seller will divide the slaves into several batches according to their characteristics, and the number of each batch is between ten and twenty, and each batch has a certain characteristic. In order to sell the best price, the market and the seller will carefully arrange the order of the auction of slaves, the best quality will be arranged at the end, and the better quality or characteristics will be arranged at the beginning, and a batch will be arranged every few rounds, so that the whole auction process is attractive enough.

There were also ten slave girls, five twins to be exact.

Obviously, the "twins" are the characteristics of this group of female slaves. It's just that among the five pairs of twins, only one pair is eye-catching, and the other four pairs are all indiscriminate, two of which are under the age of sixteen and have not yet matured, one pair is already over thirty years old, and the other pair is mediocre and even a little ugly. It's just that the ten female slaves are sold uniformly and will not be dismantled and sold.

It is also a means of raising the selling price.

The selling price starts with 1,000 ounces of gold, which is five times higher than the first four batches of female slaves!

Stewart was very positive, looking determined to win, but Chu Tianjiang gave him a look, and then looked at Perez on the opposite side. Stewart immediately understood what Chu Tianjiang meant, and did not rush to make a bid, but waited for Perez to bid first.

In less than two minutes, the price of the slave girls was fired to five thousand ounces of gold.

"How much are they worth?"

"Ten thousand at most, maybe someone will give up to twenty thousand." Stewart is an expert at this. "The only ones who are really valuable are the sisters, and nothing else is valuable."

"Every single one of them has value." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Wait a minute, no matter how much Perez bids, it will be directly increased by ten times." ”

"Ten times!?" Stewart was a little dumbfounded.

"As I said, money is not an issue, understand?"

Stewart was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The bag of diamonds that Chu Tianjiang gave him, to say the least, was five hundred, and those four colored diamonds were at least equivalent to one thousand twenty-carat colorless diamonds, with a total value of more than 10 million ounces of gold, which was more than enough to buy all the slaves in Las Vegas.

"Ten thousand!" Opposite, Perez made a bid.

"Someone pays 10,000, is there a higher price?"

Chu Tianjiang glared at Stewart and told him not to hesitate.

"One hundred thousand!" How dare Stewart hesitate, it wasn't him who paid anyway, and the more money he spent, the more he would get in return in the future.

At this moment, the entire trading hall was boiling, and even the trader who presided over the auction looked at Stewart in disbelief.

"One hundred thousand!" Stewart repeated.

"Someone pays 100,000, someone pays 100,000, and there is a higher price?"

Perez's face was distorted, and the price he simply couldn't surpass. You must know that even if the pair of sisters are very good, they are definitely not worth more than 100,000 ounces of gold. Even in a metropolis like Denver or Houston, the sisters could sell for 50,000 ounces of gold.

The trader shouted three times in a row, and when no one continued to increase the price, the deal was made.

Of course, the formal transaction also needs to complete the follow-up procedures, which are mainly to settle the payment, go through the transfer procedures of the slave, and obtain the identity certificate issued by the trading house. According to the regulations, after completing these formalities, the buyer can take the slave and hand it over to the trading house. After buying the first batch of female slaves, Chu Tianjiang asked Stewart to send one of his men back and let the three Andre brothers drive over.

Seeing Perez staring at him, Chu Tianjiang raised two middle fingers at him.

Perez's mouth was crooked, but he was helpless against Chu Tianjiang. As long as he still wants to do business in Las Vegas, he can't deal with Chu Tianjiang in the trading floor.

In the trading field, it is not whose fist is harder, but whose wallet is thicker.
