Chapter Ninety-Eight: Busy and Busy
Yan Yixin was busy sorting out the information of the jewelers who had come to India first, and Yan Juan knew that he couldn't help much, so he could only take out the treasures he bought in Brazil to enjoy.
Since I bought these gems, I have been racing all the way from Gem City to Brasilia, and I rushed to São Paulo before I could catch my breath. It was too late for dinner to meet her.
When Yan Yixin received the fax, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he saw her happy side face. She is really a 'girl' child who is easy to satisfy, just some low-end gems, and she is already satisfied.
Maybe it was because he had a heart, Yan Juan raised his eyes, received his gaze, and couldn't help asking:
"Do you want me to do something?" "I'm waiting for a fax, I'm idle." Yan Yixin shook his head.
"By the way, the Indian 'girl' who accompanied me today is very beautiful, just like those stars in Indian films. But she didn't speak English, and we gestured for a long time, but we didn't understand what the other person was trying to say. ”
"The literacy rate in India is only 54, and the status of 'women' and 'women' is not as big as we imagined." Yan Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Have you heard of the caste system in India?" ”
"Caste? In the history books? It seems that the Indians divide people into four ......" Yan Qian replied hesitantly, "the first three can only be Aryans, and the four castes are called Shudras. But no, that 'female' child could not be a Shudra, her skin is very white, and the Shudras should be a dark-skinned 'colored' indigenous people. ”
"As a result of the war, the Aryans and the indigenous populations were merged, and although the boundaries of race were blurred, the caste system remained for a long time, and they were called untouchables, and it is said that they also made up ten percent of the population of India. They could only engage in commerce and fishermen, Qinghao workers, etc., and did not have the right to vote. ”
Yan Juan shocked: "I always thought that the caste system was from the era of the Mauryan Dynasty and the Mughal Dynasty, how could there be such a ...... in such a civilized society today?"
She gestured, as if she didn't know what to say.
"There are a lot of displaced people in India, and the difference between them and the untouchables doesn't seem to be very big." Yan Yixin sighed, "Today, what you see is New Delhi, and the next time I take you to Old Delhi, you will find a lot of poor people in tattered clothes." But. Like the 'girl' child, one of the fathers and 'daughters' was a pariah, and she had the characteristics of Aryan white skin. Of course, it may also be a fusion with the 'Mongolian' ancients. ”
"But she's so beautiful...... Yan Juan still thinks it's incredible.
"Indians have a deep silhouette and look more dimensional." Yan Yixin said as he 'pulled out' the paper in the fax machine, "It seems that there are really a lot of jewelers from all over the world who come from all over the world for this gem. ”
"As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Lu family, then the Yan family is not a failure, right?" Yan Juan first thought of his vital interests. Yan Yixin's is hers.
Yan Yixin sighed: "Theoretically, this is the case, but I think the Lu clan is very determined. If in the end who can get it. As expected, no one will compete with the Lu family and the Yan family. ”
Yan Wan was discouraged: "That means that in the end, it will be up to the two of you to fight?" ”
"In theory, that's how it should be." Yan Yi's heart was solemn, "However, the president of the Lu family can grant them a larger amount of funds. ”
All in all, the situation is a little more serious for them.
"You explain the situation to Old Man Yan. Can't we give you a little more money? ”
"That amount is the bottom line.
Yan Yixin shook his head, "So, as long as we do our best, even if we can't achieve our goal, there is no way to do it." But before, we couldn't give up. ”
"Hmm." Yan Juan nodded vigorously, as if to give him and give himself confidence. But after being silent for a while, he finally sighed: "If only there was more than that sapphire." If the 'deposit' that has not been produced for 20 years has been able to revival, why has only one been produced? ”
"It's already a miracle to be able to produce one." Yan Yixin smiled.
"Two are just miracles." Yan Juan deliberately messed around and opened the paper bag of spinel.
Suddenly, her eyes straightened, and she pointed at the spinel and her face was reddish.
Yan Yixin asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Crushed? ”
"No, I bought amorphic spinel! Oh my God, I actually bought a metamorphosis spinel! ”
Yan Yixin stood up, and sure enough, he saw that the spinel in the white 'colored' paper bag was no longer the gray-blue 'color' that he had seen during the day, but a purple 'color'!
"It seems that you have picked up a big bargain, metamorphic spinel, but it is a very rare spinel variety."
Yan Juan nodded excitedly, and put it in the palm of his hand and couldn't put it down: "I grabbed a piece when I left, who would have thought that it would be a treasure?" ”
The true alexandrite is a type of chrysoberyl, also known as alexandrite. However, unlike this spinel, it appears green in sunlight and red in incandescent light and candlelight, making it one of the world's five most famous stones.
"It's a good thing you pressed a phone, otherwise, I'd have picked red 'colored' spinel if I picked and chose again. At the time, I just thought that this gray-blue 'color' was a bit special, and although the blue was opaque, I still liked it at a glance. ”
"So, how 'fine' the intuition for gemstones is!" Yan Yixin nodded.
Yan Juan couldn't put it down, because of her proposal, they only booked a presidential suite, so now they are all outside the one.
"It's not early, it's been such a long flight, you should go to bed early." Yan Yixin reminded loudly, "If you sleep inside, I'll sleep outside." But you're going to have to bolt the door at night, I can't guarantee ......."
"I know you're a humble gentleman." Yan Juan packed up the gems, put them in his backpack, and flashed into the room with a puff of smoke. As soon as the door closed, another head poked out, "You should go to bed early. We'll talk about big things tomorrow, and you don't need to think about things that you can't do. ”
Her smile was bright and bright, and she lit a bright light in his 'gloomy' heart. He immediately smiled back: "Yes, there are some powerless things that don't need to be considered at all!" Raise the 'spirit' first, and prepare to follow the move. You have taken a big advantage today, and you will have a dinner tomorrow. ”
"Okay, no problem." Yan Juan saw that his expression was relaxed, and he agreed.
So, on the eve of the tense public auction, Yan Yixin took Yan Juan to Old Delhi.
There is no clear boundary between the two places, but it may have been a convention for many years, and the poor rarely crossed the square into New Delhi. No wonder Yan Yixin said that it is the old and the new, and after seeing the wide streets of New Delhi, and then looking at the low buildings and alleys similar to 'lanes' in Old Delhi, it is indeed difficult for people to accept for a while.
"Let's take you to see the Red Fort, which is equivalent to our Forbidden City in Beijing and the imperial palace of the Mughal Dynasty." Yan Yixin pulled her into a car and the Indian costumes around the street were very mixed. Half shabby.
"Doesn't that seem like a big gap?" Yan Juan couldn't believe it, "We're over there." Everything is neat and open, and running here is like going back at least fifty years at once! ”
"In India, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor." Yan Yixin pulled her into the car, "There are beggars, no matter how rich a country is, it can't eliminate their existence." ”
The Red Fort is located in the middle of Old Delhi and is named after the red sandstone that is built with red sandstone and is red all over. The Forbidden City in Beijing is also red, but it is mainly made of gray bricks, but the first layer of the wall is red. Like the Forbidden City, the Red Fort has a moat, but compared to Beijing, it is not even half of it, it is like a drainage ditch.
"This Red Fort was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, when he decided to move the capital to build the Red Fort, the Taj Mahal, known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was being built, which shows how rich India was at that time. Unfortunately, as we often say, 'rich for no more than three generations', it is also applicable in the royal family. Jahan's father was the most prominent emperor of the Mughal dynasty, and he only knew how to profligate. If it weren't for ***, there might have been another mausoleum built opposite the Taj Mahal. ”
"Although he is not a Ming Jun, at least he can be regarded as an infatuated lover. After the death of the favored concubine, it is rare to be able to build such a mausoleum for her, among the emperors. ”
Yan Yixin couldn't help laughing: "You 'women' look at problems from a different angle than men!" ”
Yan Wanyan smiled: "Of course, we 'women' are 'sexual', and men are more rational 'sex'." I think that Taj felt fortunate until she died, because she was blessed to be favored by the man she loved, and until after her death, it took 22 years to build the unique Taj Mahal. ”
"Even if you become the king of the dead country?"
"It is the country that dies, not love." Yan Wan glanced at him, "You men don't understand, you can't have both the country and the beauty, but it's rare that there are so many people who can give up the country and get a good face." ”
"You said you were going to invite me to dinner, wouldn't you just be going to eat in Old Delhi?" Yan Yixin reminded a certain 'woman' who was swimming happily.
"What's so bad about Old Delhi? Well, then go to New Delhi, I think the same thing, there is definitely more than twice as much as here! ”
Yan Yixin smiled: "Don't worry, what I said is please eat, you have already invited it just now." ”
"Is it the bowl of rice in it that I don't know what kind of rice it is?" Yan Juan was a little embarrassed, their lunch was not as good as yesterday's fast food.
"Of course, I just want you to have a meal, so now it's my turn to treat you to a great Indian meal." Yan Yixin's favorite restaurant is definitely the premier hotel in New Delhi. Yan Juan stuck out his tongue: "Fortunately, you invited, otherwise you would have directly prepared to press me here!" ”
"I'm reluctant." Yan Yixin shook her head with a smile and pulled out the dining chair for her.
"Yan Xuan!" A voice of disbelief, especially in a foreign land.
