Chapter Forty-Six: Mr. Li

Jianfeng Teahouse, an old-fashioned teahouse that is quite famous in the local area.

found a box, didn't stay idle for even a month, took out his mobile phone, and began to brush a certain sound.

didn't let Lian Yue wait long, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a silver-gray suit knocked on the door of the box with a briefcase.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries a little and began to get to the point.

Lian Yue reached out and took out a small satchel, first taking out a sapphire about the same size as the one she sold yesterday, which she specially picked up from under the stone mountain last night.

Seeing Lian Yue's movements, the man's eyes began to shine, staring at Lian Yue's hands with a good eye, for fear of missing a moment.

With a "bang", the stone was placed on the table, and his face was stunned, looking very distressed. Hurriedly reached out and grabbed the stone, looked up and down, and then took out the prepared tools and began to examine the rough stone.

Seeing that he didn't care about the stones as soon as he saw them, Lian Yue naturally didn't continue to be busy digging out the stones.

......

"Miss Lian, your stone weighs a total of 35 grams, and it is estimated that you can get nearly 20 grams of sapphire after removing impurities and associated ores, the color is pure, indigo blue, which is also a very rare color on the market, and the interior is also very transparent, there are no impurities inside, although you can't see the origin, but it is rare to find a good quality sapphire."

After this Mr. Li finished the inspection, he restrained the slight gaffe just now, and said to Lian Yue.

"Uh-huh..." Lian Yue only nodded in agreement, motioning for Mr. Li to continue.

"After an on-site test I just had, the maximum price I can offer is 1.2 million, what do you think?" He looked at Lian Yue, pursed his lips slightly, and said in Mandarin with a southern accent.

Lian Yue didn't speak, only nodded, swept his eyelids down, rolled his eyes slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then raised his head and said, "Okay, I have no opinion, how to trade, do you need to sign a contract or something?" ”

This price is both expected and unexpected in Lianyue, and the stone sold yesterday was only 1 million after half a day.

In the past two days, through online channels, several buyers have found Lianyue one after another, and the quotation is almost around 1.1 million.

What Lian Yue didn't expect was that today's Mr. Li's first offer was so high.

Lian Yue is not in this industry, and naturally he does not know how to meet high-quality and large gemstones, and once he meets it, he must do everything he can to get his hands on the mentality, and he only feels that this gentleman is quite upright.

With this professional Mr. Li, the transaction is naturally very smooth, from the signing of the contract to the receipt of the payment for the gemstone transaction, the whole process does not exceed 20 minutes, and he has become a freshly baked "real" millionaire in a month.

Seeing the prompt of the bank text message, Lian Yue's eyebrows couldn't help but raise and unconsciously showed a smile.

It is good to have no middlemen to make the difference, although the tax still has to be paid, but the feeling of money coming into the account all of a sudden, is like having gold coins rattling in your head, which is really cool.

"Miss Lian, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Mr. Li stood up, ready to end this conversation in a very business form, after all, he has a million gems, but he needs to communicate with the above in time to communicate the progress.

"Mr. Li, are you leaving? Do I have any rocks here? Lian Yue came back to his senses in the confusion of money, looked at Mr. Li, who was already about to turn around and walk out, and asked.

"Miss Lian, do you still have gems of this quality here?"

Lian Yue could feel the surprise on the face of Mr. Li on the other side, and the right hand carrying the handbag unconsciously clenched, and the Mandarin became more and more non-standard.

Hey, before he came, Manager Lou explained to him well, but Mr. Li was a person who couldn't walk when he saw a good stone.

"Of course."

Lian Yue took out three gems from his backpack, one was the size of a palm, with a slight purple in the brilliant blue, which was more dazzling than the one he had just sold, a fist-sized piece, the color was lighter than it, it was a particularly positive azure blue, and the last one was smaller, the size of a walnut, which looked like a very ordinary blue-purple, with a slight red glow at some angles.

Mr. Li's handbag couldn't be grasped, his feet were slightly soft, he walked back with the tea table, picked up the small piece and looked at it, and repeatedly checked the daylight, but he still felt that it was not enjoyable for a long time, threw down the things, closed the doors and windows in the private room, closed the curtains, turned on the lights, and looked at the light again.

As he moved, Lian Yue also noticed that this gem was more colorful, neutralizing the blue and black thickness, and faintly glowing with a purple-red halo, as if it would change color.

However, the operation of professionals does not understand for months, as long as it can be exchanged for money, it is easy to say anything.

So he no longer paid attention to the increasingly excited appearance of this Mr. Li, took out his mobile phone, turned on a certain sound and swiped it again.

Half an hour passed, and Mr. Li finally remembered that there was another person in this room, and coughed embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, Miss Lian's stones are the best, I have never seen so many high-quality sapphires at once, let alone try it." ”

Lian Yue didn't bother with him, after all, he just learned that the ones at the foot of the mountain were full of gems, wasn't that even better than this?

"Dare to ask Miss Lian, are these stones for sale?" Mr. Li looked at Lian Yue and asked tentatively, for fear that she would give a negative answer.

Isn't this nonsense? If I didn't buy it myself, I would show it to you?

His face did not show it, and he only nodded at him in affirmation.

"Even Miss's stone quality is very good, take this small point as an example, but it is a very rare color-changing sapphire, generally speaking, the combination of iron and titanium will make the gemstone appear blue, but if it contains vanadium, the sapphire may have a discoloration effect." As soon as Mr. Li talked about his professional place, he began to talk endlessly, and he was happy to see him popularize science for a month.

"Your piece of color-changing sapphire shows a rare three-color change, which is also rare in the market, with a total weight of 28.25 grams, and the current market valuation is also about 800,000."

"Look at your piece again, the color is very positive, it is pure blue, the interior is flawless, and the total weight is as high as 61.35 grams, which can be regarded as the top gem in the collection."

"Of course, the most amazing thing is this one, the dazzling cornflower blue, as pure as the highland sky, rich and slightly purple, this blue is quite similar to the German national flower, the cornflower, known as the cornflower sapphire."

"Since the wars in Kashmir, where this gemstone is found, I have rarely seen such a beautiful cornflower blue in the market."

Mr. Li's expression was a little intoxicated, and his eyes seemed to be deeply attracted by the light of the gem, as if he was about to fall into it.

"And how much is it worth?" Lian Yue saw that he was silent for a long time, and asked directly with some impatience.

Mr. Li, who was addicted to gemstones, seemed to be disturbed by Lian Yue's copper-smelling questioning, and was very displeased, but fortunately, he still had the cultivation and only began to continue to tell his opinions on his own.

"The value of Kashmir cornflowers cannot be measured in monetary terms, due to the harsh mining environment, Kashmir cornflower sapphires are very small in existence, from the last 50 years, the number of auctions in the world has only appeared more than 100 times, known as the miracle of the 1% of auctions."

Lian Yue was a little curious now, after all, the less there is in the world, the higher the value of his own stone of the same quality as the Kashmir cornflower sapphire.

"Kashmiri cornflowers are not only expensive, but they are also hard to come by. I remember the most recent occasion, a 18.25-carat cornflower sapphire ring by Kriffin Kina and Elspring, which was sold at Christie's in Harbor City in the fall of 2021, setting a world auction record for the price per carat of Kashmir sapphires at $5.84 million, or $320,000 per carat. ”

"Wow, wouldn't my piece be so big for tens of millions?" Lian Yue couldn't help but be a little excited, and stood up on the ground.

Mr. Li glanced at Lian Yue without a trace, and seemed to be a little disdainful of her for valuing money so much.

After thinking about it, he was the owner of the gemstone, and he had to treat him with kind words if he wanted to buy it, so he said: "Theoretically, yes, but the fact that the sapphire ring can set such a high auction price has nothing to do with the quality, design, and cut of its gemstone." ”

"Does that mean that as long as I find someone to help me design and process it and put it up for auction, then this ring can be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars?" Lian Yue's brain made money quickly, and immediately thought of a way to maximize benefits.

Mr. Li seemed to be shocked by Lian Yue's operation again, and his eyes were round and a little speechless.
