Chapter 33 Endangered Crafts

"I can drop another five thousand dollars." Ruby raised a hand.

Yan Yixin didn't express his position immediately, but turned his face to Yan Xuan: "What do you see? ”

Yan Juan opened his mouth in shock and pointed to his nose with a finger: "You ask me?" ”

"Well, do you think the price can be considered?" Yan Yixin was still smiling.

Yan Juan quickly calculated in his heart that a blank of 55,000 US dollars, if the technology can, can still get about 20 carats of finished products, and if it is processed properly, it can be sold for at least 200,000 US dollars.

She hesitantly turned her gaze to the rough in her hand, and a strange feeling floated in her heart, always feeling that the finished diamond was not as bad as it appeared on the outside.

"I think ......," she gritted her teeth, "if it drops another five thousand dollars, it will be a deal." ”

Ruby made a bitter face: "This price has been reduced to the bottom, and I am afraid that I can't accept Miss's price." ”

Yan Yixin stood up: "Then, I can only ask Mr. Ruby to bring the diamond back." ”

Ruby reached out and took the diamond, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, $50,000, deal!" ”

Looking at the pain on his face, Yan Juan also felt that his price was a little low.

Yan Yixin smiled indifferently: "This price is the highest price I am willing to pay." ”

Ruby sighed helplessly: "This time, it was planted on this diamond." ”

Yan Yixin patted him on the shoulder: "In this business, when you come in, you should know that since you have the ability to make money, you have to have the ability to lose money, it's the same for everyone, isn't it?" ”

Ruby nodded a little bitterly, and Yan Juan couldn't help but secretly guess how much he had lost.

Yan Yixin sent the guest out of the room before turning back: "Do you sympathize with him?" This rupee has been immersed in the diamond agency industry for so long, and he has already made a lot of money, not to mention that this person is extremely accurate, this diamond is probably picked by him, I don't know how many faults he has picked out, and the price collected will not be much higher than 50,000 US dollars! ”

The businessman was really slippery, so much so that Yan Juan thought that he didn't think he was going home!

"Why do you think there is still a lot of profit margin for buying it for $50,000?" Yan Yixin held the diamond in the palm of his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at it again.

"I just think it's a bargain for such a big diamond. And, while it looked like the slag of a diamond crusher coming down from a giant diamond, I had a gut feeling that it was actually quite clear. ”

"Intuition?" Yan Yixin seems to think that these two words are worth playing.

"Uh...... I'm sorry, I said it casually......" Yan Juan regretted his impulsiveness a little. If she really lost money on this diamond, even if Yan Yixin didn't say it, she wouldn't be happy in her heart!

Fifty thousand dollars! If it's a one-to-six ratio...... No, at this time, it should be one to eight, that is 400,000 yuan, and it may not be worth so much to sell her......

Yan Yixin smiled and comforted: "In the diamond rough industry, intuition is originally the most important feeling. This price certainly shows that the diamond does have a lot of flaws, and if we can cut it into a decent shape, we can sell it for at least 150,000 dollars. The size of the blank is large enough, and it will not be small after grinding, and you can get about 20 grams of finished products. ”

Yan Juan smiled embarrassedly: "I shouldn't have interjected...... "If he didn't show that, she wouldn't have made up her own mind!" At that time, I just thought that I could get more finished products, so I couldn't help but make my own decisions.

"No, the price itself appeals to me." Yan Yixin stood up, paced two steps in the room, and suddenly looked back and smiled, "Yan Xuan, are you interested in seeing the diamond industry's chiseling skills?" ”

"Chisel?" Yan Juan didn't have any impression of this word.

"Yes, people in the industry agree that the chiseling method is very neat and is the best way to extract the first process of the finished product from the rough diamond."

"Then ......," Yan Wan asked hesitantly, "I don't seem to have heard of ......."

"Because of the popularity of high-speed chainsaws and laser technology, the skills of chisels are on the verge of being lost. I know that there happens to be a chisel here, I don't know if he is the best in the world, but at least he recognizes the second, and there will never be more than two who dare to admit that he is the first. ”

Yan Juan was interested: "Okay, then let's ...... Check it out now? ”

"Of course, I just want to show you." Yan Yixin still wrapped the diamond back in the paper bag and put it in the briefcase.

"Splitting and chiseling...... Sounds a bit ...... Is it an axe or something like that, and you cut it at a diamond? But ......" Yan Juan made no secret of his loneliness.

In front of Shaodong, who was born in a diamond family, it is understandable that he doesn't understand.

Yan Yixin didn't laugh at her, and patiently explained to her: "You know, diamond crystals are accumulated layer by layer, and these layers are distributed horizontally, which is called the texture of diamonds. Splitting and chiseling is to go down a certain level with a knife. ”

"That'...... Diamond was ......" Yan Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.

"As you might expect, in general, this diamond ends up with only two results. One is to split into two diamonds as planned, and the other is to break bones. ”

"The danger is too great...... isn't it?" said Yan Xuan.

"Not bad. So in recent years, few people have done this kind of work. ”

"Then you still ......" Yan Juan pointed to his briefcase, "If you are broken bones, isn't it worthless?" ”

Yan Yixin didn't care: "Anyway, it's only 50,000 US dollars." What's more, Ann is an excellent chisel master, and he is not more than 80% sure that he will not be able to do it. ”

In the end, it is the child of a rich family, and 50,000 dollars is a common thing!

Yan Yixin is very familiar with Brazil, and took Yan Wan around and turned into a small alley.

"Is the chisel now unemployed? How to live in such a slum? Yan Wan asked curiously.

"It's not." Yan Yixin couldn't help but smile, "An is not only a chisel, but also a philanthropist. Besides, his living room ...... Not shabby, he likes to hide in the city. ”

Yan Juan followed Yan Yixin through the streets of Brazil, and when he arrived at his destination, he understood what Yan Yixin meant by "hidden in the city".

It looks like an ordinary house, but when you open the door and enter, it is a modern decoration. The old safe and the dynamic monitor show that the owner here does not wash his hands in a golden basin.

Ann looked up from the workbench, the folds on his face were clear, it turned out to be an old man, and he should be over sixty years old. Yan Juan doubted whether such an old man could still engage in this kind of work.
