Paraíba, Brazil, 1989.

An unusually bright tourmaline that has been dug out of the ground.

Its color is like rain breaking through the sky, and it is like a flood of autumn water.

After cutting, people were shocked to find that this gemstone can also scatter neon-like colors.

After racking their brains, those who hold it can't give it a proper name.

It can only be named "Paraiba tourmaline" according to its origin. ”

In the early 90s, it sold for $2,000 per carat.

But the high price has not stopped people's desire to buy.

As soon as Paraiba tourmaline appears on the market, it will be immediately bought.

With such a strange commodity, it is only natural that jewelers should make a big difference.

But at this time, there was bad news.

The rough of Paraiba tourmaline is discontinued!

The jewelers almost went crazy and went to the mines one after another.

It was only to be found that the ore resources had been depleted.

In order to meet the needs of the market, they have searched everywhere.

Eventually, some deposits were found, but only a few millimeters of rough were produced.

Resources are scarce, and prices naturally skyrocket.

It even reached a asking price of $60,000 per carat.

“……。”

Lassol was dumbfounded.

The crystal structure of Paraiba tourmaline is fragile, and rough stones of tens of carats rarely appear.

Most of the ones in circulation are between 3 and 10 carats.

The largest piece in the collector's hand is only 100 carats.

But this Paraiba tourmaline in front of me seems to be more than that.

"De ......, I ......."

Rasol's heart was about to pop out.

There is even an urge to kneel and worship.

"It's ......."

Polati, who was on the side, couldn't help himself.

Shaking his hands violently, he grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly.

If it's not fiber weaving, it's already a fragment.

Seeing their excited looks, Lin Chao introduced softly:

"It weighs 126 carats and has no blemishes all over,......。"

When it comes to tourmaline, you can't talk about one person without mentioning.

The most important figure of the late Qing Dynasty was the Empress Dowager Cixi. ”

In addition to jadeite, her favorite thing is tourmaline.

Especially the kind of "peach tourmaline" with a hint of pink in the bright red. ”

According to "Aiyuexuan Notes" written by Li Lianying's nephew Li Chengwu.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi was buried, she stepped on a tourmaline lotus, weighing about 36 taels and 88 yuan, with a valuation of 750,000 taels of silver.

When the Beiyang Naval Division was being built, the price of the two ironclad ships Zhenyuan and Dingyuan was only 1.7 million taels of silver.

Fortunately, Paraiba tourmaline was 81 years late, otherwise it would not have been possible to buy even the two warships of Zhen and Ding.

It's all made into jewelry by this ruined girl.

"That's right, you're right!"

Lasor was somewhat incoherent.

Based on his experience, this stone is definitely genuine.

Put it on the market, it can be worth at least $10 million.

Who would have thought that such a rare treasure would be placed in front of him.

After biting his lip, he asked:

"Mr. Defa, are you going to sell this gem?"

Lin Chao smiled.

"Selling the rough is the stupidest thing to do, how do you think it should be designed to reflect the value of this gem?"

Lasol took out a piece of paper, and after a few strokes, a pencil pendant was presented in front of everyone.

"Mr. Defa, this gemstone is in the shape of a pear, and with a little polishing, it is the best material for pendants. Leftovers can be set around the subject to bring out its beauty. ”

It was only at this point that his face turned pale again.

"However, such jewelers are hard to find, and if one is not careful, the gemstone can shatter."

Lin Chao asked:

"Mr. Lasol, this rough stone can only be cut by you. If you can't do it, I'm afraid everyone else can't. ”

Rasol shook his head a few times and said in a dejected tone:

"If you hadn't paid for it half a year ago, I would have cut this gem perfectly. But now I don't dare to do it. ”

"The slightest negligence, Mr. Defa, will greatly diminish its value, and I will become a sinner."

Lin Chao said with a smile:

"Mr. Lasol, I'll pay $2 million for the production."

“……。”

Lasol hesitated, as if there was something unspeakable.

Borati, who was on the side, hurriedly said:

"Mr. Defa, can you add a little more money? The teacher's son is now dying, and he can only survive if he is sent to Citigroup. We asked the doctors that the cost of treatment could be $8 million, and ....... ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Rasol.

I heard him roar angrily:

"Enough!"

Although this Defa? Zhang has always claimed that he is not a person who takes advantage of the fire to rob.

But there are a few in this circle who can do it.

If you investigate it carefully, I'm afraid that even yourself is not so clean.

Polati is so stupid that he actually penetrated the bottom line at this time.

Once the other party knows that he is in a hurry to use money, it is strange not to lower the price!

It would have been just a matter of selling one or two more pieces of jewelry.

Now, it seems, there is only a lot more to be invested.

"Mr. Defa, I'm sorry for today's incident. I shouldn't have let Polati come in and stir things up, it's embarrassing for everyone right now. ”

The transaction could no longer proceed.

And he must give an account to Polati, and he must not tell the other party about the possession of Paraiba tourmaline.

The people in the town aren't that clean.

Once the gang knows about such a treasure, they will definitely start robbing it.

Lin Chao closed the lid of the box containing Paraiba tourmaline.

"One of my men has a very good doctor, and I hope he can help Mr. Lasol."

"Really?"

Rasol jumped to his feet.

During this time, he led his son around to seek medical advice.

I don't know how much money was spent, but the effect was not at all.

Now, his son is lying in bed, surviving only on needles and water.

However, looking at his appearance, it should be more than auspicious.

"Please ......."

The words did not come out, for Rasol was hesitant.

The son's injury was entirely due to that trade a few months ago.

If he knew that the competitor was a gangster, he would never dare to bid.

In the end, the gems were not bought, not to mention, and his son was shot.

"Could it be a trap?"

A hint of alarm rose in Lasol's heart.

After the accident, he spent a lot of money to hire a security guard.

10 days ago, he also exchanged fire with gangsters and killed two of them.

If the people who came here today were also in their group, things would have gone bad.

Rasol glanced at Lin Chao secretly.

Although the other party's face is fierce, he doesn't feel anything strange.

What they do is not like the means of gangsters.

He hesitated again.

Lin Chao smiled.

"Mr. Lasol, let's keep trading! If you scrape together enough money a minute earlier, you can rush to Citi earlier, and the chances of survival are greater. ”

Hearing this, Lasol was shocked.

He quickly took out another jewelry box, only to see that inside was a piece of Burmese pigeon blood red.

But at this time, the phone rang.

Glancing at the phone number, Rasol's expression became nervous.

"What's going on?"

On the other end of the phone, an anxious voice immediately came.

"He's dying!"

Rasol's body shook.

He only felt a wave of dizziness in his brain, and the person fell down heavily.

In my ears, there was only the exclamation of Polati.

"Teacher......."
