Chapter Ninety-Nine: New Pressure

Although Yan Juan has been avoiding Lu Wenjun, but in a foreign country, when he saw his own countrymen, his reaction was still surprise: "Senior!" ”

The next two reactions were to quickly look at Yan Yixin. This is probably called a narrow road meeting, right? The two competitors don't know what kind of sparks will be created by such a sudden meeting.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yixin didn't seem to pay attention to Lu Wenjun, and his gaze fell on the other man beside Lu Wenjun.

In his forties, he wears an Armani suit and has a slight beer belly, but in general, at his age, he maintains a decent figure. Although it is not very tall, standing beside Lu Wenjun, there is another steady demeanor, which makes people dare not underestimate it.

"Mr. Chen, I'm glad to meet you." Yan Yixin took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook hands with Chen Yuan, vice chairman of Lu's family.

The two of them were smiling, you came and went, and I didn't know how many edges I fought.

Yan Juan could only smile when he received Lu Wenjun's gaze, and greeted him with courtesy, but he only sent it away with a few simple words.

"Since we met here, why don't we have a light meal together, I'll be the east." Lu Wenjun spoke, but his eyes were not looking at Yan Yixin.

Yan Juan hesitated, and Chen Yuan had already frowned inadvertently. Obviously, Lu Wenjun's invitation was not in Chen Yuan's plan.

Yan Yixin smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, we have already booked a seat, let's not meet again next time." ”

"Okay, we'll get back in touch. Anyway, everyone is in New Delhi, and there is a chance to meet. Chen Yuan said with a smile, looking like a businessman and making money, which makes it easy for people to have a good impression.

They walked to the window seats, and Yan Juan noticed that two Indians walked in, and they seemed to be very familiar with Chen Yuan. Then, the two of them walked to the box upstairs.

"Yixin, they made an appointment with the Indians!" Yan Juan reminded.

"Well, I've guessed it." Yan Yixin smiled bitterly, "The relationship between their Lu family and India has always been good, and this is normal. Just now, your senior abruptly invited us to share a table, and Chen Yuan probably complained in his heart. ”

"Is Chen Yuan's status in the Lu clan very high?" Yan Wan asked.

"Under one person, above ten thousand. This time, the Lu family attaches great importance to it, and it seems that it is determined to win. Yan Yixin sighed, "Chen Yuan has a lot of power, and he is also one of the major shareholders in the Lu family, even if it exceeds the Lu family's quota, as long as it is not too much, it is okay." ”

"What about you?" "You can't exceed a single point." Yan Yixin smiled bitterly.

Yan Juan was silent, and the 'fine' and beautiful dishes had no effect of stinging and 'stimulating' the taste buds.

After dinner, they went straight back to the coffin. When passing by the 'flower' garden building in New Delhi, Yan Juan couldn't help but think of the old and dilapidated old Delhi, the difference between the poor and the rich, and so big!

They talked and laughed and turned the local radio station in India, because it was in English, so they could understand it. The atmosphere is still quite relaxed in general. Until Yan Yixin received a phone call.

Yan Juan looked at his 'yin' face and 'color' suddenly, and his heart jumped slightly, and he didn't dare to ask again.

"That sapphire, changed the auction method." Yan Yixin 'inserted' his hand diagonally into the pocket of his 'trousers'.

"Isn't it...... Changed to a public auction? She asked suddenly.

"Yes."

"That is to say, it doesn't matter if the bottom of the bid is the highest, anyway, the one with the highest price wins?" Yan Wan was deflated.

In this way, the Lu family always has a chance to surpass Yan Yixin.

"That's right." Yan Yixin frowned, "Although I don't think it's wise to auction this gem at a price that exceeds Christie's auction, it's about the Yan family's reputation. Maybe it's worth paying a little more. ”

However, he could not afford to pay even a penny more. Yan Juan nodded with a heavy heart, and the one-ten-thousandth hope that there was originally was was completely gone.

She almost didn't dare to look at Yan Yixin's face, maybe at this time, it was despair, right? Yan Xuan's throat was a little choked, although he had been wandering around Old Delhi all day, but at the bottom of that bid, Yan Yixin had actually made up his mind, it was the new high of a single carat at Christie's auction last time, which was the highest amount he could use.

Now what he needs is his comfort...... Yan Juan thought like this, squeezing out a reluctant smile: "Didn't you say that?" As long as you do your best, you will have a clear conscience. If there were two gems, everyone would be happy. ”

Unexpectedly, Yan Yixin's face was not depressed, as if he was thinking about something, and his knuckles gently touched the desktop of Shuyutai.

"What are you thinking?" Yan Juan leaned forward slightly, and his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that his inspiration would be lost.

"I'm going to go out and find Yusha." Yan Yixin's heart jumped suddenly, "Only by doing your best can you have a clear conscience." ”

Yan Wan watched him put on his tie in a daze, blinking his eyes and showing a question.

"Yesterday's words were a bit untrue. Maybe I have more time today and I can talk to him a little longer. Juan, you go to rest early, or go shopping. India also produces a lot of gemstones, if you like it...... By the way, the rupees I redeem are here, you can buy whatever you like, and most business people speak English. If anything, dial my phone. ”

"Well, I'm going to be fine." Yan Wanne said that he really wanted to go out with him. But, it seems, he doesn't seem to have that intention. Biting his 'lip', Yan Juan still controlled his feet and did not keep up with his footsteps.

The dormant mines, with the resurgence of Kashmir sapphires, have put India in the spotlight of jewellers once again. Listening to the tone, it is only about ten carats, is it worth so many jewelers to offer new prices one after another?

No wonder people say that gold and silver have a price, but precious stones are priceless. In particular, gemstones with a history are not only due to technical 'nature' factors such as weight and clarity, but the richer the origin, the more the price of the gemstone can reach a new height.

Yan Wan was bored and walked out of the hotel alone. The place where they live, located in the southern district of New Delhi, is mostly high-end hotels, and there are very few small vendors, and the shops are very bright.

Not far away. There's a jewelry store. The main gemstone in the shop is naturally diamonds, but there are also many 'colored' gemstones.

Miss, this is iolite, which is very hard and beautiful, and it is a specialty of our India. The clerk introduced enthusiastically, holding up a iolite ring, "Miss, please see, this blue 'color' tone, compared with other 'colored' gemstones, is very special, so Europeans call this gem aquamarine." ”

Yan Juan actually just looked at one casually, not wanting to buy it. She was still thinking about Yan Yixin's pressure, and today's ease returned to the peak of pressure again because of the news of the public auction.

She absentmindedly put the ring in her palm: "This is a member of the beryl family, because of the large production, the market price is lower than morganite, your pricing is on the high side, right?" ”

"The iolite we produce in India is of better quality than other places." The clerk is fluent in English.

"The transparency is okay, the luster is good, and the multi-color and 'sex' are also very strong, but the price is still high." Yan Juan looked at it carefully, and then shook his head. Maybe a trip north of New Delhi will make you get something better?

She looked at the time and simply flagged down a taxi to Connaught Place in the north.

The two backpackers I met on the plane, they stayed here, because the price is cheaper than in the south, probably belonging to the civilian area, right?

The square is very lively, and the scale of the jewelry store is not too big, so I just picked one and walked in, and the price of the same iolite really dropped a lot.

And the color "color" is more abundant, not only the more popular blue "color" and blue purple "color", but also no "color", yellow "color", green "color", brown "color" and gray "color", of course, the price also has a range of up and down "waves".

"Miss Yan!" A surprised voice made Yan Juan feel stunned.

She looked back and saw the man walking towards her, a little familiar. Suddenly, she slapped her on the head. He pointed at him and said, "Ah...... It's a ...... of Yiwu Mr. Zhang! ”

Yan Juan was glad that at the last moment, he finally remembered his surname.

"Yes, I'm Zhang Taiwei. I didn't expect you to come to India too! ”

"I only arrived yesterday." Yan Juan said embarrassedly, "Didn't you go back to China?" How to ......"

"I heard that another sapphire has been produced in the Kashmir mining area, and there will be a public auction tomorrow, so I came to join in the fun and buy some low-to-mid-grade gems by the way."

Yan Juan was immediately impressed by him, since he also thought about this *** gem, it must not be the stall vendor in the Yiwu small commodity market she imagined. and the stall owner in her imagination, it seems to be completely two grades.

"Mr. Zhang is also interested in that gem?"

"Kashmir's sapphires, who would say they're not interested?" Zhang Taiwei smiled, "Even if you may not be able to compete with others, it's good to feast your eyes." What's more, by the way, anyway. ”

Yan Juan looked at him suspiciously, very suspicious of his "by the way". Obviously, he has already returned to China and rushed to New Delhi overnight, which must not be explained by the word "by the way". What's more, it is definitely not the ordinary jeweler who can afford the price.

However, she is also 'communicating' with others, so naturally she can't aggressively 'force' people to ask, so she can only smile politely: "I hope you can win the bid." ”

This sentence is sincere. Even if it falls into the hands of Zhang Taiwei, it is better than falling into the hands of Lu Wenjun!

Her heart moved, and she naturally smiled and asked, "Is Mr. Zhang also optimistic about that gem?" ”

"Of course, if possible, I'd like to be able to get it. However, there are a lot of people here this time, and I may not be able to get my wish. Zhang Taiwei shook his head with a smile, "Let's see when the time comes, maybe on impulse, the price will hit a new high." ”

Yan Wanwan smiled: "This kind of impulse, the track is tens of thousands of dollars!" ”
