Chapter Thirty-Six: God Opened a Window

Both of them woke up late, and when they met, they weren't a little embarrassed about each other.

However, Yan Yixin's gentle smile resolved Yan Xuan's embarrassment, and she became generous.

It's not an untrained little girl, she's already a human being, those things ...... Ahem, it's nothing. Yan Juan once again started to mentally build on herself, and then raised her head and showed an almost perfect smile.

"Manager Yan, are we going to wait for that batch of small diamonds today?"

"Yes."

"How small?" Yan Juan asked curiously, "Ninety pieces in one carat?" ”

"No, it's smaller."

"Smaller?" Yan Juan asked unexpectedly, "I thought that one carat and ninety pieces were the smallest of the diamonds." No matter how small...... What else can you do when you cut it? ”

"It's just the ornamental diamonds next to the center diamond, which are not valuable, but they are an essential part of the diamond jewelry." Yan Yixin explained, "And it can be used on other jewelry, such as corundum, jadeite, etc., around the ring face, there will be a circle of small diamonds, that is." ”

"Oh."

"In fact, the profit from reselling cheap diamonds is much higher than the profit from dealing in high-end diamonds. Because these small diamonds themselves are very cheap, and the origin of a large part of them is not clear, so the price is especially low. The technical requirements for polishing are also very low, generally only a few sides can be polished, and only a little light needs to be reflected to complete the task. ”

Yan Juan was amused by his statement: "These diamonds are what we usually call broken diamonds, right?" Even the watch will be inlaid with a lot of pieces, and it seems that it is indeed not very valuable. ”

"Yes, our broken diamonds are generally imported from the Rhombic Mine in Australia."

"Linghua Mine?" Yan Juan thought about the origin of the finished diamonds on the diamond counter, and there didn't seem to be such a place name.

"Yes, although the production is huge, most of them are small brown diamonds, except for the signature pink diamonds. The average value of diamonds from South Africa's diamonds is US$150 per carat, while the average value of diamonds from diamonds is only US$16 per carat. ”

"It's so far off!" Yan Wan was stunned.

"yes, so that's really bad news for the Rhombus mine. In addition to the pink diamonds, which can enter the fine jewelry market, the remaining small brown diamonds, some of which are industrial diamonds, and the other part can only serve as a supporting role in the jewelry. ”

"Then this little diamond ......"

"It's from the Brazilian veins, and about half to one point each one looks like it."

One carat is equivalent to 100 cents, and half a cent...... That's 200 diamonds in one carat!

"So small!"

"yes, so when we receive the diamonds, we send them to India for processing."

"Why send it to India?" Yan Juan was puzzled, "Is the polishing process in India very good?" In the international market, I have not heard how prominent the craftsmanship of the Indians is. ”

"They are paid cheaply. Of course, good diamonds are reluctant to give away, but for a small diamond like these, workers only get a few cents for processing one in India. ”

That's too bullying, isn't it? No matter how small, it's still a diamond! The hardest substance in the world, no matter how simple it is, is not an easy task.

Before the transaction, Yan Juan visited Ann's studio again and liked each of his instruments as if she were fascinated.

"Follow Yan and work hard, there will be a success." An looked at her and Yan Yixin with a smile, and between her eyes drifting, Yan Juan felt a little ambiguous.

"I ...... Of course, I will follow Manager Yan to do a good job, he is my Bole. Yan Juan tried to say seriously, but An didn't know what Bole meant.

So, Yan Yixin couldn't help but smile and explained to him that there was a thousand-mile horse in ancient China, and then he met a Bole story.

Yan Juan felt the difference between Chinese and foreign cultures, and smiled and responded to it on the side.

"It's a pity that you're a girl, otherwise I'd pass on the chiseling technique to you." An watched with regret as Yan Juan nimbly fiddled with his chisel tools.

Could it be that in Brazil, there is also a tradition of passing on men over women?

Yan Xuan's doubts, An couldn't understand it, but Yan Yixin understood: "An means, the chisel is not only for vision, but also for explosiveness, girls are not suitable for this industry." ”

I see. Yan Juan regretted his congenital "insufficiency" a little, and still watched Ann and his assistant's work curiously.

"However, you can do polishing, which is also a technical job. When you play with these machines, your hands are very steady, and your fingers are slender and flexible, which should be very suitable. ”

"Really?" Yan Juan asked happily, "Then I will go back and find a teacher to learn hard, this is also a skill, and I don't have to worry about starving to death on the streets in the future." ”

"How could it be possible for you to starve to death...... Yan Yixin smiled bitterly, "Even if you get the relief money, you can still live." ”

"I just want to live a little bit better and create life with my own hands and nothing else." Yan Juan said seriously.

If you are a young grandmother like before, your daily work is to cope with this, to deal with that, to play mahjong all over, and to talk about the shortcomings of the parents. Then dress up, go to one dinner party after another, and stand beside Lu Wenjun as a vase.

This kind of life in order to be a foil, although it looks glamorous, but the heart is empty. She wants to cherish this opportunity to be reborn, no longer at the mercy of others, and control her life with both hands.

"Okay, ambitious!" Ann gave a thumbs up.

Yan Juan smiled and did not answer.

When it was time to leave in the evening, Yan Juan still felt a little reluctant.

"After returning to China, I will take you to Yan's to visit. If you really want to learn polishing, it's not impossible, but I think girls can learn design. ”

Yan Juan's heart was pounding, this was exactly her purpose!

"But I don't know where to learn. We don't seem to have a similar curriculum in our school! ”

"Yan has a training class, I can recommend you to study. Originally, it was to find some good seedlings to form Yan's own design team, so the teacher invited was not bad. ”

"Really?" Yan Juan felt good luck one after another, "Can I really go to that class?" ”

"Of course, it's just that you're working too hard like this. The class time is from 7 to 11 o'clock, four hours a day, which is equivalent to intensive training. ”

"I'm not afraid of hard work, besides, it's over at eleven o'clock, it's not too late. I used to work at a convenience store, so I had to do it at 12 o'clock! ”

"That's good."

"But I didn't get off work until eight o'clock......"

"You can leave work before 6:50 in the future, and leave a little early, it's okay." Yan Yixin is very considerate.

More than an hour, is it also a while? She only works eight hours a day!

However, Yan Juan is still very happy, living in front of her, opening an extra window, and taking a big step closer to the goal!
