What is it that is not worth much in the Qing Dynasty? And Gao Lin still treats it as a treasure?

Seeing that Li Mingfang said strangely, Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lao Li, what the hell is it? Gao Lin still treats it as a treasure? ”

Li Mingfang said a little casually: "It is a small pebble, according to Gao Lin, this small pebble is called a diamond." ”

"Diamonds?"

"And diamonds!"

"And it's a big box full of diamonds!"

Li Mingfang's words surprised Qin Chuan.

Li Mingfang didn't notice anything unusual about Qin Chuan, and still said nonchalantly.

"Gao Lin said it was a gem, but in fact, I have seen the rings on the hands of foreigners in the concession, and the necklaces worn by women around their necks with diamonds, which are so shiny and beautiful. It's just that the stones that Gao Lin brought back are not as bright as those diamonds. Gao Lin explained that for a diamond to shine, it has to be cut and polished, and this is the case with uncut diamonds. ”

"Gao Lin also said, this kind of stone called diamond, don't look at it as worthless in our Qing Dynasty, but it is extremely precious in the West, and this stone is more valuable than our pigeon's blood red in them."

In Li Mingfang's babbling words, Qin Chuan was already leaning on the sofa with a crimson face in a violent heartbeat. Qin Chuan is now very worried about whether his young heart can withstand the impact of happiness that Li Mingfang brought him stronger than once.

At this time, the diamond, which was extremely precious in later generations, now represents great wealth and value only in Europe, and no one knows it in China, and in their opinion, the diamond is at most just a small shiny pebble that cannot be eaten. Even at this time, it was in the United States, which was very popular in later generations, and diamonds could not reflect the precious value of later generations.

If you can collect a large number of diamonds at a time when the true value of diamonds has not yet been recognized by the world, and make small diamonds into diamond rings and necklaces to sell in Europe, it should be very popular. The big ones should be left first, and in ten or twenty years, diamonds will surely increase in value as quickly as a rocket, even if it is a good investment.

And now there are steps that can be taken to speed up the process of realizing the true value of a diamond。。。。。。

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel excited.

"Lao Li, Lao Jin, as far as I know, this diamond is indeed extremely precious, although no one knows the goods in our Daqing, but in Europe, it is the most precious gem. For the royal families and aristocrats of Europe, diamonds are a symbol of wealth and power, and the crowns of kings are set with many precious diamonds, and the larger the diamond, the more valuable it is. ”

"In addition to representing wealth, because diamonds are the hardest gemstones in the world, they will not be worn away, they will remain forever, and they are also regarded by Europeans as a sign of loyal love, and Europeans now have the custom of giving each other diamond rings when they get married, as a sign of love loyalty."

When it comes to diamond rings, Qin Chuan can't help but think of the famous advertising slogan about diamonds.

"A diamond lasts forever."

Qin Chuan said in his heart: "Grandma, regardless of whether this diamond will last forever, let Lao Tzu create a famous jewelry company for you that will be passed down to the world." ”

In addition, there are many things to pay attention to the quality of this diamond, such as the less impurities in it, the purer the higher the value, and the more precious the diamond with color, especially the red diamond. You should choose according to what I said, in addition to the good color and purity, and then pick out the diamonds over two carats, and put them in the vault of Aurora Bank for separate storage. ”

"By the way, you probably don't know how much it is. I tell you, the carat is a unit of measurement, and one carat is two-tenths of a gram. ”

"If we only sell this kind of diamond, although we will make a lot of money, but it is too cheap for those foreigners, and this diamond has to be processed into a finished product before it is valuable. In this way, Lao Li, you find Xiao William, ask him for help, let him go to Antwerp, Belgium to find a few craftsmen who can cut diamonds for us with a high salary, and then hire a few more Western jewelry craftsmen, and find a few more master craftsmen who make jewelry in China, and we will also set up a jewelry company to carve all kinds of jewelry and gold and silver jewelry utensils. ”

"The next time our fleet goes to Persia, in addition to gold, we will also buy a large number of diamonds and fine pearls, jadeite agate, spices, all the smaller diamonds and other precious stones, all of which will be handed over to our jewelry company to be processed into finished rings and necklaces, and they will be sold in Europe, and they can make a lot of money by keeping them. As for other jewelry, it can be sold in China and can be sold at a good price. ”

Seeing that Qin Chuan had used his brains on diamonds and jewelry again, not to mention Li Mingfang, even Jin Lisan was also very excited, and a few people discussed the matter of starting a jewelry company with a word.

"Lao Li."

Qin Chuan lit another cigarette for himself and jokingly asked Li Mingfang: "What other good things are there?" It's not going to end there, is it? ”

Li Mingfang came back to his senses, and said with a smile on his face: "There is one last thing, that is, the Arabian horses you want Ning Xingpu and Gao Lin to look for, they brought back thirty-six stallions this time, each of which is half a head taller than our Daqing horses." ”

Jin Lisan interjected: "Not only is it stronger than our horse, but it is also much stronger than the German mount of the adult." My lord, why don't you change it, I fancy a white horse, there is no miscellaneous hair, it is like a white cloud. ”

"Nope."

Qin Chuan shook his hand and was about to speak, but Li Mingfang had already glanced at Jin Lisan with disgust.

"Lao Jin, I said why are you so ignorant, you still don't know what our host is? He is the most nostalgic person, don't look at the German dark horse who has only been with the owner for a few months, and he is reluctant to change it easily. ”

Qin Chuan misses the old, this is what Jin Lisan deeply felt, Li Mingfang blamed, and Jin Lisan couldn't help but blush.

Seeing that Jin Li was embarrassed, Qin Chuan hurriedly changed his words: "Lao Li, Lao Jin, this time Ning Xingpu and they returned from a long voyage, and they have gained a lot, but you have to remember one thing, we and a few of them are partners in business, although we are the main ones, the shares are also the big head, but the brothers are clear about the accounts, since they have their shares, this account must be calculated clearly." ”

Qin Chuan's words, Li Mingfang and Jin Lisan nodded again and again when they heard this.

Jin Lisan also took advantage of Qin Chuan's words, hurriedly opened his handbag, took out a few thick account books and handed them to Qin Chuan.

"My lord, this is the account details of the bank since its opening, the number of coins minted by the mint, the deposit and loan situation, the bank accounts opened with Sir Aldington of North Korea, and the accounts of our loans with foreign banks, as well as the accounts of Citibank's exchange of gold for us, and the relevant settlements this year have also been completed, please take a look."

Jin Lisan did not show the bank's account receipts and expenditures, as well as the year-end profits, including the amount of gold, silver, and property in stock, as extremely confidential and sensitive things as Li Mingfang did, which shows that Jin Lisan is meticulous and cautious, and Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

Jin Lisan's actions also made Li Mingfang vigilant, Li Mingfang saw Qin Chuan take the accounts handed over by Jin Lisan, his face couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly handed the list in his hand to Qin Chuan, and hurriedly took out a dozen account books from his bulging leather bag, and put them on the coffee table in front of Qin Chuan with both hands.

"Owner, this is the fixed assets of our factories and schools, material procurement, sales, and the income and expenditure accounts of infrastructure, recruitment, purchase of weapons, machinery and other expenses for more than half a year, and they have also been put together."

Qin Chuan nodded and began to look through the accounts of Aurora Bank.

Although Qin Chuan knew that these factories and banks under his command were very profitable, he really didn't know how much money he had now?

That's what he was most anxious to know today.

But looking at it, Qin Chuan's originally smiling face slowly lost his smile, and after reading all the accounts of the factories brought by Aurora Bank and Li Mingfang, Qin Chuan's face had become very solemn, and his brows were tightly twisted together, and the corners of his mouth were pursed in contemplation。。。。。。
