Chapter 155: Your Gem Shatters as soon as you bite it, isn't it fake?
"Hehe, my ruby is fake?"
Dick was quite disdainful of Qi Yu's questioning words from the Chinese hillbilly, but instead taught with confidence, "Do you know how I bought this 'Queen Victoria's tears' through what formal channels? Do you know how authoritative the experts I hired are? Don't say your subjective thoughts in front of so many people without knowing anything, which will only lose your own face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Hearing Dick's words, the upper-class guests who were watching nearby couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement, feeling that he had a point.
A ruby worth eight million dollars, Mr. Stein must have bought it through a reliable and regular channel, and when he bought it, he must have invited a jewelry appraiser to identify it on the spot, after all, it was a treasure worth eight million dollars, even if the buyer had more money, he would not even pay for it without appraisal, right?
Everyone thought that Dick was right, and felt that he had not lost his temper in educating the Chinese youth, and that his tone was quite peaceful, and that he had a typical aristocratic gentleman's demeanor.
Many of the celebrities present had a better impression of Dick, but for Qi Yu, an unknown Chinese, the sense of resistance and contempt gradually increased.
When everyone was skeptical about Qi Yu, Ciel and Natasha had completely different thoughts in their hearts, as high-level officials of S.H.I.E.L.D., they had the right to read the information about the "Terminator", and they knew very well that Qi Yu would say this, naturally there was a reason for him.
But to be honest, Rao is the two of them are on Qi Yu's side from the bottom of their hearts, but they are really curious, logically speaking, when Dick bought the gems, he must have hired a master to identify them, how did it become what he said "fake"?
There must be a reason!
"I said Mr. Stein, I was cheated when I bought gems, don't admit it!" Qi Yu shrugged his shoulders and said with a wicked smile.
Hearing this, the corners of Dick's mouth raised a trace of contempt, "Pierre Gleigh is one of the most famous jewelry appraisers in Europe, I asked him to help with the appraisal, can he still make a mistake?" ā
The people who attended the art appreciation were all high-class people, not all of whom knew about Pierre Greet, but at least half of them had heard of his name.
"Pierre? Born in Sweden, he has traveled all over the world, especially in Europe and the Americas, and is now over 60 years old, engaged in the jewelry appraisal industry for more than 40 years, and was awarded the title of the country's first master jewel appraiser by the King of Sweden, and was later rated as one of the seven European treasure experts by the European Union. In the crowd, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes spoke to the guests in high spirits, showing his profound knowledge to the fullest.
"That's right! For such a pinnacle in the field, there is absolutely no problem with the jewelry identified! Another blonde youth continued.
"In this case, how can it still be a fake ruby, that Chinese eighty percent is guessing, right?" Another aristocratic woman in a purple gauze butterfly dress questioned.
"Young man, in our Huaxia, there is an old saying called 'Girls can play around, but they can't talk nonsense', you are obviously coming against your ancestors!" A wealthy businessman who immigrated to the United States in the early years and mixed his head also said to Qi Yu earnestly.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Qi Yu still did not blush or panting, looking calm and calm, not alarmed, and his mood was as calm as water.
The reason why he was so calm was not because of anything else, but because he was sure that it was a fake gem and slapped everyone present in the face!
With a faint confident smile on his face, Qi Yu held the ruby in his thumb and forefinger and stood in place and spun around, showing it to the guests around him.
After a round turn, he explained unhurriedly: "Real gemstones, especially rubies of this 'corundum' texture, usually have a hardness between 9 and 10, and let's take the middle value, let's count it as 9.5. As we all know, the hardest substance in nature is diamond, and diamond has a hardness of 10. This means that if this ruby is real, it is definitely much harder than steel. ā
As the words fell, Qi Yu slowly moved the ruby in his hand towards his mouth.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, and many pretentious daughters couldn't help but cover their mouths and exclaim.
"Oh my God, is he ready to swallow the gem?"
"Oh God! Is he crazy? ā
"No, my guess is that he is going to bite the gemstone with his teeth and roughly estimate the hardness of the gem based on the sensation on his teeth."
"Oh, I see!"
Under the curious gaze of everyone, Qi Yu carefully placed the ruby between the upper and lower rows of teeth with his fingers.
Then, the lower jaw is merged upwards.
So, under the bite of Qi Yu's two rows of "the strongest teeth on the earth......
With a crisp sound of "cluck"!
The eight million dollar ruby, the "tears of Queen Victoria", one of the ten most famous jewels in Britain, was shattered......
Shattered......
Shattered......
Qi Yu lowered his head slightly, aimed at his outstretched palm, and spit out a bunch of glittering red fragments in his mouth.
"Your gem shatters as soon as you bite it, isn't it fake?"
Qi Yu presented everyone with the fragments piled up in his palm, and turned to Dick and asked, "This Nima is obviously a glass ball, right?" ā
At the same time, witnessing this unexpected scene, the onlookers were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were covered with all kinds of rich expressions of doubting life.
Especially those daughters and celebrities who have a good impression of Dick, they can't help but be shocked at this moment, and despise Dick as a hypocrite from the bottom of their hearts.
In their opinion, if it was a real ruby, as the Chinese said, it was definitely far harder than steel, and yet, he just bit it with his teeth?
What does this mean? This shows that it is not a gemstone at all, and the so-called "Queen Victoria's tears" worth eight million dollars is even more nonsense!
It was most likely just a high-quality red glass ball, and Dick deliberately used it as a gift for someone else's beautiful woman!
"Cut, I knew that Dick was using fake gems to deceive the young lady. I, and a few other friends, have had dinner with him a few times before, and I have never seen him pay, and every time we pay, he is so mad! ā
"Yes, in fact, I was suspicious from the beginning, how can anyone give eight million dollars of jewelry as a gift as soon as they meet, it's really fake!"
"Alas, I thought it was a generous son, but it turned out to be a scumbag who fooled people!"
"There is no good thing in the world, hum!"
When Qi Yu used his domineering front teeth to prove with ironclad facts that Dick gave Hill was actually a fake gem, Dick was instantly lost and quickly became the target of public criticism.
Many people said that they had lost their eyes, but they didn't expect Dick to be such a hypocrite.
Looking at the various negative emotions such as contempt, contempt, and disappointment on everyone's faces, the original haughty smile on Dick's face became extremely stiff for a while.
The corners of his fat mouth began to twitch uncontrollably.
"Could it be...... As this Chinese kid said, when I bought this ruby, I ...... Got cheated? ā
Dick muttered softly, the expression on his face ugly, like dead pigskin......
