Chapter 51: Ten Million Pounds

After Master Nathan left in a hurry, things were back on track, and the obese Baron Chris led everyone back towards the appraisal room, bypassing a long revolving corridor, and the surrounding landscape changed from the original British style to the modern high-tech style.

From time to time, staff members in white research uniforms shuttled through the passages, while greeting Chris who passed by.

Soon, under the leadership of Chris, Jiang Yin and others came to a huge glass workshop, in this workshop, as far as the eye can see, hundreds of workbenches are neatly placed, on those workbenches, are some professional gem identification staff, they bury their heads, or identify, or polish, or cut, and make diamonds into carefully carved works of art.

Covering an area of thousands of square meters of workshops, hundreds of workbenches, everywhere is filled with a jeweled atmosphere, this kind of scene is by no means ordinary diamond companies can have.

After seeing Jiang Yin and the others showing a surprised look, the fat uncle Chris also showed a proud look, waved his hand and said: "How about it, Mr. Jiang, you are in front of the identification headquarters of De Beers, there are three hundred and forty workbenches, more than 1,000 professional gem appraisers, this kind of large-scale identification scene can only be seen in our De Beers headquarters in the world, so, for your gem identification, I think, only here is the fastest identification, and it is the most accurate." ”

The expression on Jiang Yin's face quickly recovered from his surprise, only to see him smile and nod at Chris, and said, "In this way, I really want to see the efficiency of your company." ”

The pot-bellied Chris seemed to be deliberately showing off, only to see him clap his hands, and a Caucasian waiter in a white coat hurriedly walked up next to him.

"Baron Chris, is there anything you need to order?"

"Well, there is a distinguished guest who wants to sell a batch of rough diamonds to our company, now immediately find me a hundred appraisers, I want them to do the appraisal of this batch of rough diamonds, this is a big business, I will give you 5 minutes, and I will recruit all the people and equipment."

The waiter's face was full of smiles, and he said, "Please rest assured that Baron Chris, Working Group III is now cutting the shipment imported from Russia, and I will immediately ask them to stop what they are doing and come to you for identification." ”

"Well, that's for the best." Chris nodded, "Then let's get to work." ”

Soon, on the left side of the huge workshop, the staff on the 100 workbenches stopped their work and began to carefully clean the things on the workbench, and soon the workbench was cleaned up with a new look.

Fourteen staff members took over the two gem boxes, and then divided the hundreds of diamonds contained in the boxes into several grades on a large workbench, and transported them to the appraisers in sterile, dust-free storage containers.

Then those appraisers observe the clarity and purity of these rough diamonds under a professional gem magnifying glass, and finally, they estimate the approximate market price of each group of diamonds, and after Chris calculates it uniformly, and then makes commercial negotiations with Jiang Yin on the final transaction price.

The appraisal work was carried out in an orderly manner, but Chris found that Jiang Yin didn't seem to care at all, and he didn't even look at the appraisal of each diamond by those appraisers, which made him very curious.

"Mr. Jiang Yin, don't you go and take a look at these appraisers? Aren't you afraid that these staff members will lie about the price? ”

Chris didn't know, for Jiang Yin, he just wanted to sell these diamonds quickly, as long as the price was not too low, he didn't care, for a person with the world's mineral resources, would he still care about the price of these two diamonds? Joke!

"No, I trust your company's integrity." Jiang Yin replied lightly.

Chris was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Yin's answer, only to see him grin at Jiang Yin, "I like Mr. Jiang's boldness very much, as a reward for your trust in the company, I want to invite Mr. Jiang to have a glass of wine in my personal name, Mr. Jiang, what do you think?" ”

Seeing Chris's friendship, Jiang Yin also smiled slightly, "The baron's invitation is extremely honorable." ”

De Beers, a high-end international diamond company, has a hundred years of company heritage and culture, the natural pursuit is different from those short years of the company, the whole company has a strong pursuit and admiration of the British traditional aristocratic culture, so here, many British aristocratic habits of the way of life, have been preserved, among which the tasting room, is one of this way of life.

Wine tasting, especially of the vintage grapes, was a tasteful activity in nineteenth-century English high society, where 'a nobleman can sell his farmstead, but never his cellar.' This proverb shows the importance that the English aristocracy attached to wine.

At this moment, in a tasting room on the second floor of De Beers, Jiang Yin and Chris sat opposite each other, Chris picked up a bottle of classical red wine from the wine shelf, then opened the bottle cap, poured the red red wine into two goblets, and the air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of wine.

"'95 Lafite, Mr. Jiang, please taste it." Chris sniffed lightly on the cup with his nose, and then said to Jiang Yin with an intoxicated face.

"Hmm." Jiang Yin had seen some wine tasting processes from British classical literature a long time ago, and at this moment he drank the red wine in the glass with a set of traditional British ancient ceremonies.

Seeing Jiang Yin's drinking method, Chris on the side was stunned, this classical drinking method is generally the drinking method used by those British antique characters, and the gestures, movements, and the height of the cup are very particular, generally only old nobles will drink like this, but the young man in front of him actually knows this drinking method, which makes him more interested in Jiang Yin.

"Mr. Jiang is from China, forgive me for taking the liberty of it, what is the name of the company Mr. Jiang represents?"

"Oh, it's the 'Tianchen' company."

"With all due respect, I've never heard of a company in China about the diamond industry called 'Tianchen', has your company changed its name?"

"No, it's not." Jiang Yin smiled, "Our company has just been established this year, and it is in its infancy. ”

Hearing Jiang Yin say that their company had just been established this year, Chris was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that a newly established company would be able to make a move to sell two kilograms of diamonds, although a transaction of this scale is nothing for De Beers, but for a new company, it is definitely a heavy decision.

Just as Chris was still shocked, there was a sudden knock on the door of the tasting room, and Chris said to enter, only to see a staff member walk in with a form and whisper something in Chris's ear.

Chris nodded, then immediately stood up, nodded towards Jiang Yin, and said, "Dear Mr. Jiang, according to the appraisal and valuation of our appraisers, the price of your rough diamonds is finally priced at 13.9 million pounds, which is converted into about 134 million yuan, is Mr. Jiang still satisfied with this price?" ”

Lin Yue and Di Yan, who were standing behind Jiang Yin, both had shocked expressions on their faces, but Jiang Yin got up as if he had done a trivial matter, and smiled faintly at Chris: "I am very satisfied, happy transaction"
