Chapter 37: A Comparison of Happiness

When he got the diamond, Yan Yixin just passed the scale on the scale so-so, and paid the check very happily. The whole transaction process did not take more than half an hour, and there was no problem of bargaining.

These diamonds, even from a strict point of view, are really small.

Sending the dealer away, Yan Juan put the diamond in the palm of his hand. She was skeptical that as long as her eyes could not reach the polisher of more than 10 zeros, she would not be able to perform the polishing operation at all.

"Your concerns are not unreasonable, so in India, it is common for sharp-eyed children to polish these little diamonds." Yan Yixin saw her doubts, "These final finished diamonds are only half a point of diamonds, and ordinary adults don't use glasses, so it's almost impossible to process them. In any case, as long as you grind a few facets, children are fully competent enough. ”

"This bag is bigger." Yan Juan held another bag, "And the transparency and color are better." ”

"Yes, these diamonds are finished by almost a cent in weight, and they can generally be polished into fifty-eight facets."

Yan Juan glanced at it a few times, and compared with the few diamonds he had acquired before, it could be regarded as inconspicuous. So she quickly lost interest and put the diamond on the table.

"I thought that China's labor should not be expensive." Yan Juan asked suspiciously.

"It's not expensive, but diamond polishing technology, like this batch, is still the cheapest in India. And recently, India's exchange rate against the US dollar has been on a downward trend, and it is more beneficial for us to settle in US dollars. Yan Yixin patiently explained, "In India, Surat alone has more than 4,000 diamond polishing workshops, and if you add Mumbai, the polishing workers in the two cities can reach 700,000. ”

"Wow, that's so much!"

"Yes, especially the mining of diamonds, because they are mostly fine-grained brown diamonds, provides a broader development prospect for the polishing industry in India. So far, India has achieved an absolute share of these small diamonds. ”

"If you have the opportunity, go to India to see their work ......" Yan Juan was a little yearning.

"Actually, it's not necessary." Yan Yixin shook his head, "Because India rarely processes the finest diamonds, although the proportion of gem-grade and industrial-grade diamonds has changed significantly in recent years, most of the polishing workshops are still small-scale. For example, a family of four, bending over to polish day and night, the working conditions are extremely simple. Accumulate a little wealth, buy another polishing machine, and that's it. ”

"How does it sound like a smallholder economy?" Yan Qian thinks of China's thousands of years of feudal society.

"yes, that's how it was in the beginning. Of course, in recent years, India has also produced a number of large companies engaged in the polishing industry and even the trading of diamonds. In short, the allure of one of the diamond industries, almost no one can resist. ”

"Well, especially women." Yan Juan said with a smile.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you after this yellow diamond is processed." Yan Yixin turned around twice in his heart before he spoke.

"How's that going to work?" Yan Juan was taken aback and instinctively refused, "The finished product of this diamond can be sold for more than 200,000 US dollars, and I can't accept such a valuable gift." ”

"When you bought it, it only cost 50,000." Yan Yixin smiled.

"Fifty thousand is also a large amount, it is still too expensive for me, you don't want to force me to smash the pot and sell the house to pay for this diamond, right? No matter how light and graceful it is, I don't think it's worth it for a diamond. Besides, it wasn't me who bought it, it was a check you signed. ”

No matter how beautiful it is, it's just an ornament.

What's more, what kind of diamond did she not wear in her previous life? Although she gradually developed a strong interest in diamonds and even jewelry, it did not mean that she longed to have them.

Yan Yixin just smiled, but looked at her delicate collarbone. Imagining the diamond hanging on her chest, she suddenly felt the urge to do it herself.

He looked down at the yellow diamond on the table, the purchase price was undoubtedly quite cheap, and he could have paid it with a private checkbook. In this way, the cut diamond belongs to you, and if you want to give it to Yan Juan, it is not impossible.

The only obstacle is that Yan Juan will not be willing to accept his gift.

She was still studying the yellow diamond, as if trying to see a flower.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Yixin asked curiously. Although he has been familiar with diamonds since he was a child, he has not yet developed the patience to never tire of looking at them.

"I just think this yellow color is a bit peculiar."

"Peculiar?" Yan was puzzled.

"You see, this half is a little darker, and this half is a little lighter." Yan Juan held the diamond in his palm and brought it close to his eyes.

"Well, that's true. The small half is almost bright yellow. However, since the puff is on this half, the final weight may not be too large, despite the color advantage. ”

"Oh." Yan Juan sighed in disappointment.

"We can go back tomorrow, and this trip was supposed to stay for two days, but it ended up staying for six days. Homesick? Yan Yixin put down the diamond and asked.

"Well, a little." Yan Juan nodded casually, "Actually, I don't have anyone to worry about, one person is home." ”

This sentence was said very casually, but it made Yan Yixin's eyes feel a little sour. He just lost his mother, and he felt that his life was no longer complete. And her parents are dead.

"Your father...... What kind of person is he? Yan Yixin wanted to know more about her.

"I don't know, my mother never mentioned it." Yan Juan replied nonchalantly, "In my memory, there is no such thing as a father. Sometimes, I feel like I'm an illegitimate daughter. ”

"Why do you think so?"

"There was a time when my mother was very depressed, especially when she was seriously ill. I think she wanted to tell me about her father, but in the end she didn't say it, and I think their relationship, even if it was once sweet, but then it disappeared. If my father dies, I will only remember him on my mother's grave. If he is still alive and knows my existence, but still lives by me alone, such a father...... Hey, don't. ”

Yan Juan tried her best to keep her tone calm, but Yan Yixin still heard her resentment from her occasionally trembling tail note.

"Well, it does......" He thought for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

"I also lost my mother at an early age, my father was cold to me, he had another woman outside and a family, but he was never recognized by his grandfather." Yan Yixin didn't know why, and suddenly had the desire to speak.

He wanted to tell her that he wasn't much happier than her.

So eagerly, trying to close the distance with her.
