Chapter 6: Turning Stones into Money

Maybe it's because of the body transformation, I got up at dawn, drank a large glass of warm water, and started morning exercises. At half past eight, I called my friend who worked at the bank and confirmed that he was in the office, and I walked to the long office with a small suitcase.

"Brother Wang, it's early." I said hello and sat down casually.

"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" Wang Xing said.

"Brother Wang, does the bank accept gold now? Which divisions of the jewelry category are being acquired? I asked.

Governor Wang: "Now that banks no longer buy hard currencies such as gold and jewelry, and are in the stage of free trade, it is best to find a large jewelry trading company or jewelry and antique auction company." ”

"I have a batch of goods in my hand that need to be sold, you can take a look and help me come up with an idea." I opened the box and presented it to him.

Governor Wang touched it with his hand, looked at me with a look of disbelief and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the way, don't steal or rob, my friend's ancestors have passed it down, and I don't know how much these are worth?"

"Huge sums of money. I'll help you contact the chairman of Zhejiang Jiamei Jewelry Co., Ltd., he is my friend, and ask him to come and have a look. Governor Wang said and picked up his mobile phone to dial the other party's phone, "Lao Zhang, have you gotten up?" There's good stuff for you to see. ”

"What's that?" Lao Zhang asked.

"Rough diamonds weighing thousands of carats."

"How much?" Lao Zhang didn't react at once, thinking that President Wang was joking.

"I didn't lie to you, there are other gems besides diamonds, there are dozens of them, bring someone to me immediately, don't miss the opportunity, as soon as possible." Governor Wang shouted at Lao Zhang in an anxious tone.

・・・・・・

Forty minutes later, Chairman Zhang arrived with two experts. As soon as he entered the office, Lao Zhang pounced on President Wang like a wolf: "Where is the thing?" ”

"Don't worry, let me introduce you, this is my little friend Dugu Wuji, and he brought the things." Governor Wang said.

"Hello." I got up and shook hands with the three of them one by one.

"My name is Zhang Wei, and these two are appraisal experts in the jewelry industry, Mr. Li and Mr. Wang." Chairman Zhang introduced himself.

After a few words, I opened the box containing the jewelry, and took out rubies, emeralds, sapphires, pearls and jadeites for them to identify first. Mr. Li and Mr. Wang immediately took out professional tools and worked carefully・・・・・・

Half an hour later, Lao Zhang and the three of them were so excited that they couldn't speak for a long time. I hurriedly handed over the tea and asked them to take a breath and speak slowly.

"Okay, I'll start with that." Li Lao spoke first, "The market price of these two blue-green gems weighing 60-70 carats is more than five million US dollars, this ruby is about more than 100 carats, relatively rare, may be worth more than 30 million US dollars, this natural pearl with a diameter of more than two centimeters is rare, it may be worth about 500,000 yuan, if there are more than 20 pieces in a string, the market value will increase dozens of times." ”

"I roughly agree with Lao Li's opinion." Wang Lao continued, looking at the gold and crystal I took out later, and said, "I won't say much about gold, just check it out, but this amethyst is relatively rare, and it may be worth about 100,000, because the crystal market has declined a lot now." ”

I listened as I pulled out a rough diamond. The three of them immediately opened their eyes wide, they must be experts, and they could see the extraordinary at a glance.

"Oh my God! At 288 carats, this is the largest diamond in China at present, so perfect! It's hard to estimate. In the midst of the exclamations of the crowd, I took out another rough diamond. The scene was immediately silent, and only the heavy breathing of a few people was heard.

"How is this possible? Am I dreaming? Zhang Dong picked up the rough diamond with trembling hands and gently placed it on the scale, "5108 carats." He said softly.

After repeated research and appraisal by two experts, he said: "If nothing else, this will be the largest diamond in the world, far more than the Cullinan diamond, and its value is immeasurable." I can see this guy today, I haven't lived in vain in this life! ”

I waited for them to calm down, then pointed to the little diamond and said, "What is the market value of this one?" ”

"Maybe more than 100 million US dollars, and now there has not been such a big diamond at home and abroad for many years, and I want to hear the owner's opinion." Zhang Dong said.

"First of all, I declare that these things are not mine, but I can handle them with full authority, the largest diamond will not be sold for the time being, and the rest will be sold, I wonder if Zhang Dong has any intentions?" I said.

"Except for the diamond, it is not a problem to eat the rest, but in order to maximize the value, I personally suggest that the domestic organization first give a legal identity, and then contact the largest jewelry house and auction company in Shanghai for a public auction, and our Camry company only needs to participate in the whole process." Zhang Dong took a sip of water and continued, "I know that since I can have such a big diamond, there must be some other treasures, I wonder if my brother can take care of my business?" "It's not a businessman, it's the core of a word.

"I don't know what Zhang Dong's company needs? Say it for me to refer to if I can help? I said.

"Now there are very few diamonds of 50 to 10 carats in China, and there are not many foreign imports, and the demand is great, in addition, there is almost no supply of natural pearls, but gold is easy to sell, platinum is also good, but the supply is insufficient, which restricts the development of the company, and our company is in a second-rate position, and there is still a great distance to compare with well-known companies at home and abroad." Zhang Dong said.

"How much does your company sell gold and other products in a year?" I asked.

"A few hundred kilograms of gold, platinum and silver are similar, diamond consumption is increasing year by year, generally to ten to thirty cents, fifty to five carat orders, some large customer orders are six to ten carats, consumption of dozens of carats of customers are also a lot, jade and gemstones can be." Zhang Dong said.

The morning passed quickly, and at the invitation of President Wang, we had lunch together, and at the dinner table, the two sides had further conversations and reached a consensus on the details of future cooperation.

"Brother, I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning at the latest." Zhang Dong said.

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

Tomorrow is another day to look forward to・・・・・・
