Chapter 260: Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows

Yang Jing and Gege left Fang Ru's house at about nine o'clock in the evening, and Fang Ru and his family sent the little couple out of the villa gate, but the four foreign bodyguards and the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona made Liu Zhentao sigh helplessly.

Fang Ru looked at her husband's not very good face with the help of the light at the door, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Liu Zhentao smiled bitterly and nodded, can his sister not be stimulated? Liu Zhentao bets that he has lived until now in his life, and all the stimulated things may not add up to more than the past two hours just now.

Regarding the matter of his niece's free love, to be honest, Liu Zhentao does not object, on the contrary, he agrees with it. After all, before he married Fang Ru, his family conditions could only be said to be average, which made him naturally have a good impression of Yang Jing.

As a result, Liu Zhentao, who wanted to help his niece, found that his niece didn't seem to need the help of his uncle-in-law at all!

Two months ago, my mother-in-law celebrated her birthday, and the bracelet of Hetian Baiyu taken out by my niece almost made the family's eyeballs fall.

Liu Zhentao has been engaged in jewelry for nearly 20 years, and he has never seen a bracelet carved from 1A collectible Hetian white jade. Usually this kind of collectible-level Hetian white jade, let alone a bracelet, it is already very luxurious to see a larger jade plate, but that day my niece directly took out a bracelet!

Liu Zhentao has seen green jade bracelets on the glass of Laokeng, but he really hasn't seen this kind of collectible-level Hetian white jade bracelet with his own eyes. There are Hetian jade bracelets on the market, but what kind of material are they? The bracelet that my niece gave to my old mother-in-law, what kind of material is it?

The difference between the two is not measurable!

If it weren't for the fact that the bracelet was a birthday gift from his niece to his old mother-in-law, Liu Zhentao really wanted to buy it as a treasure in the town store.

And the set of green jade jewelry on the niece's daughter was also given by the young man named Yang Jing, which was enough to shock Liu Zhentao.

As a result, the shock had just passed, and tonight there was another silent earthquake.

Now Liu Zhentao's mind is full of the eight gems left by Yang Jing.

Compared with the Hetian jade bracelet, these eight gems directly made Liu Zhentao speechless. Especially the bearing of Yang Jing when he left those eight gems, Liu Zhentao felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it.

Ask yourself, if you were to change yourself, I am afraid that I would never leave these priceless eight gems, but on the contrary, the young man just smiled and said that he would keep them, as if those eight gems were not gems, but eight pebbles!

This kind of bearing and open-mindedness, Liu Zhentao is ashamed of himself.

"I said, what's wrong with you? Why don't you squeak when I speak?" Fang Ru poked her husband, who was a little stunned, and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Ahh......h What are you talking about?" Liu Zhentao shook his head and looked at his wife.

"I said that Yang Jing is a very good young man, what do you think?" Fang Ru was obviously dissatisfied with her husband's distracted attitude.

"Well, this young man is really good, and he deserves to be in our family. When my brother-in-law comes back tomorrow, I will talk to my brother-in-law alone. ”

"Of course you have to tell your brother-in-law, if such a good young man doesn't catch him, there won't be this shop in this village! In the past, the eldest sister couldn't look down on other young men, but at this time and then, now Yang Jing is not simple, he has broken into such a huge industry at such a young age, and the future of this young man is limitless. ”

Liu Zhentao hugged Fang Ru's waist, turned around and walked towards the house, and said as he walked: "I don't think it's a big problem on our brother-in-law's side, my brother-in-law is the most painful, and my brother-in-law doesn't like to do that kind of thing." The key point between Gege and Yang Jing lies in the eldest sister, and this requires you and our mother to work hard to persuade her. ”

Fang Ru said: "You, you still can't see what Yang Jing is here for today? Yang Jing's young man's current situation, he himself said that it is not easy to do, and Gege is even more difficult to mention, so we must tell the eldest sister to have an effect. Otherwise, why would Yang Jing tell us so much detail?"

After a pause, Fang Ru grinned and said: "In September, I bought three sketches of Picasso in London, and it was 2.7 million pounds when I changed hands, and then I bought a Patek Philippe platinum worldtime watch, and after returning to China, I found so many good things, especially those manuscript documents, which are treasures worth hundreds of millions, and money can't buy them." Now I went to the United States again, and as a result, I made another four or five billion yuan within a month, which is still US dollars, and I have become the major shareholder of Rongbao Mining, and I have five or six billion yuan in dividends a year, which is still US dollars! It's really hard to find such a good young man these days! The most important thing is that he is a self-made man! According to Yang Jing's development speed, if he is given a few more years of hard work, the eldest sister's investment in 100 innovations may not be comparable to Yang Jing's industry. ”

Li Zhentao nodded and said, "Yes, this young man Yang Jing is indeed unexpected." If Gege follows him, it will indeed be a good landing. The most important thing is that I think Yang Jing, this young man, is also dead set on Gege, that pink diamond, Gege is just to express his liking, he doesn't even blink an eye and wants to give it to Gege, this spoiling, I also take it......"

Fang Ru glanced at her husband and said, "Zhentao, if I say that I like pink diamonds, will you also find me such a big one to give me?"

Liu Zhentao said with a bitter face: "Daughter-in-law, let's not bring such a play, okay?" I want to give it to you, but where do you let me get such a big pink diamond......

Fang Ru poked her husband's head angrily and pointed at her finger, "Hmph, I knew you could just play with your mouth! If I ask you for a pink diamond, it's really a little embarrassing for you...... No, I'll tell you now, I especially like the two rubies that Yang Jing brought over, Liu Zhentao, you can look at it!"

Liu Zhentao almost cried......

The next day, when Liu Zhentao and Fang Ru came to the headquarters of the "Love for Life" jewelry company with these eight gems and handed them over to Frank Hoffmann in person, the two of them witnessed the shock brought by these eight gems again.

"Oh Maiga!" Hoffman's eyes straightened when he saw the eight gems, and the most important thing was that Mr. Hoffmann, who had always spoken German, burst out a sentence in English.

"Boss, where did you get such a superb gem?" Hoffman's eyes were about to drill into these eight gems, and he asked this question to the boss without twisting his head, and the translator next to him quickly translated Hoffman's words.

Hoffmann spoke only German, but also a little French and Dutch, which he learned while in Antwerp, Belgium — the official languages of Belgium were Dutch, French and German, but he never spoke English.

"This is a junior of mine from the United States. Frank, what the hell are these eight gems?"

"Great! Great! Although I have not yet been professionally tested, with more than 40 years of experience in the industry, I know that any one of these eight gems can cause a sensation. Oh Maiga! Especially this purple diamond! God, I've never seen such a beautiful purple color, and I've never seen a rough purple diamond so big!"

Hoffman held the 24-carat rough purple diamond in his palm and continued while looking at the light: "This is the only purple diamond I have ever seen in my life, and this is the first time I've heard of a rough purple diamond weighing more than 20 carats. Well, the clarity inside this purple diamond is quite high, and it is estimated to meet the highest grade of clarity standards. And the shape of this rough purple diamond is particularly suitable for the pear cut. Boss, give me this diamond, I'm sure I can keep more than 50% of the rough!"

Liu Zhentao said with a smile: "Frank, even if you don't make this kind of request, I will also hand over these eight gems to you to deal with." It's such a great gemstone, and only a master cutter like you can afford to pay for it. ”

After listening to the translator's words, Hoffman laughed, "Thank you very much. Boss, don't worry, I will definitely make these eight gems show their most beautiful side. How lucky I am to have seen such a wonderful gem in my lifetime, and this is the greatest compliment God has given me. ”

Fang Ru smiled on the side and said, "Frank, I hope you can cut this rough pink diamond first." ”

When Hoffman heard this, he picked up the rough pink diamond, also held it in the palm of his hand and looked at the light for a while, and said: "This is no problem! This pink diamond is also a superb, whether it is the color, the internal clarity or the head, it is the only superbness I have ever seen in my life." Well, the shape of this pink diamond is perfect for a standard round cut, and I'm sure I'll keep 60% of the rough. Don't worry, I'll give you this pink diamond, and after a while, I'll definitely give you a superb pink diamond over twenty carats, well, you know, the kind of craftsmanship that has eight hearts and eight arrows. ”

Hoffman's craftsmanship, whether it is Fang Ru or Liu Zhentao, has seen it N times, even the top "eight hearts and eight arrows" in diamond cut, both of them have seen it many times in Hoffman's works.

"Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows" can be said to be the highest level of diamond cut. Although in the division of diamond cuts, the EX grade is the top "perfect" grade, and the 3EX cut refers to the cut, polishing, and symmetry of the three grades, so the price of a diamond of the same quality with a 3EX cut is much higher than that of other cut grades. But the rarer cut of eight hearts and eight arrows is incomparable to the 3EX cut. A diamond with a heart and arrow cut will cost more than a diamond with a 3EX cut!

The so-called eight hearts and eight arrows is actually a top-level cutting method, also called "Cupid cut". To put it simply, a diamond with this cut method can form a special optical phenomenon formed by the refraction and reflection of light, which is generally invisible on the hand and needs to be seen under a special diamond cutting lens. In order to form a perfect eight hearts and eight arrows, it is extremely demanding for diamond cutting proportions and symmetry, and only a very few masters can cut eight hearts and eight arrows.

However, if you want to form eight hearts and eight arrows, it is easy to conflict with the parameter range in the international cut evaluation system, so many diamonds with eight hearts and eight arrows often do not meet the standard of 3EX perfect cut.

In this way, an inexplicable paradox emerges. About half of the 3VG cuts have eight hearts and arrows, and about 90 percent or more of the 3EX cuts have eight hearts and eight arrows.

However, even with such a paradox, many master cutters will not choose the 3EX cut when choosing, but will choose the eight hearts and eight arrows.

In the eyes of these diamond cutters, there is no way to compare to the 3EX cut. In the eyes of a true master cutter, a diamond can cut the perfect heart and arrow, and that is the best craftsmanship.

Hoffman, as a top diamond cutter, would have died of shame if he couldn't cut through such a superb rough diamond.

Only the cut of eight hearts and eight arrows can be worthy of such a superb rough diamond.
