Update time:2014-02-2814:52:06465.Chapter 465 Cursed Diamond
Niu Zhu's explanation Xu Yang finally understood, not to mention yesterday, this uneducated person has his own mind, we are uneducated, we don't understand what art is. But there is a way for this bull pillar. You said that if you have a lot of books in your room, you can draw them! First, he can't read them, and second, one or two of those landscapes and rivers are enough.
It's troublesome to look at it, so he fell in love with these bare-ass girls at a glance, you can't say it's not art, these are the art of masters, you can't say that people are not normal in their hearts, there are many types of art that they like, and people like this. So the cattle are big and start to linger in auctions all over the world. If all the products in your home are fakes, others must say something to you, but what you hang in your house is genuine, as little as hundreds of thousands, and millions of them as moving, and others dare to say that about you.
After listening to this, Xu Yang could only give a thumbs up and say, "Brother, you are so good!"
Niu Zhu laughed, and the two continued to watch the auction, but Chu Qiu didn't have such a good mind, he completely locked on the person around him, if the person around him moved a little. Chu Qiu immediately let these go to God, and from this person, Chu Qiu felt the smell of those mercenaries.
"The next auction treasure will definitely make the women present scream. This is a diamond, a diamond called Koh-I-Noor, which is the world's oldest and most preserved diamond! 6 carats (21. 6 grams), colorless, oval carved shape, native to Golconda, India, and later set in the crown of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. β
After introducing this diamond, it immediately entered the auction, and I have to say that sometimes men are reluctant to spend a dime to buy themselves a cigarette, but they are willing to spend a dollar to buy something for a woman. Look at these gay men with female companions around him, don't look at others, just look at this childish ** little beauty beside Niu Zhu, alas, looking at the beautiful diamond eyes are about to fly out, on Niu Zhu's coquettish body, Xu Yang twitched.
"10 million!" I rely on it! It's more than 10 million! Xu Yang believes that it's not a problem for this thing to be too stubborn! And it's over a few hundred million! I remember that there was a similar ancient diamond at the Hong Kong auction the year before last, and it was directly auctioned for a price of 650 million. So this diamond is not much less, and this one is still the largest.
Xu Yang has a certain understanding of this diamond, the reason is very simple, this is not to get engaged, women will always believe in the sentence, "Love is eternal, one will last forever!" and this diamond is so famous, of course Xu Yang has seen it. At this time, after seeing this diamond, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and an introduction to this diamond involuntarily flashed in his brain.
The Koh-i-Noor, also known as Koinoor, is known as the Koinoor, and it has been cursed by many kings who possessed it. It is ranked 33rd among the world's most famous diamonds. Legend has it been 3,000 years old, but this is not credible, and it is said that the earliest record of it was in 1304. It is now generally believed that it was discovered in 1655 in the Koral Mine in the Golconda region of India. The famous diamond Shah is also found in Golconda, but Koinor is much larger than Shah, and its rough stone weighs 800 carats. At the earliest, Koinor fell into the hands of the Mughal emperors of India. It was preserved in the royal palace of the Mughals for almost a hundred years. In 1739, when Nadir Shah of Persia captured Delhi, he brought this "Koinoor" to the city of Isfahan in Persia with Shah, and its weight was reduced to the current 105. 6 carats.
There is a passage in the Hindu scriptures: "Whoever has it has the whole world, and whoever has it has to suffer the calamities it brings." Only God or a woman who has it will not suffer any punishment. β
The diamond has long been a symbol of wealth and power, as well as a source of bloodshed and death. According to documentary sources, the diamond has sparked numerous bloody massacres and fights over the past 700 years. Many monarchs who once owned it ended up with bad luck.
Suddenly, Xu Yang thought of the past story of this diamond, and had to say, is this a bright diamond like its name, or is it a real cursed diamond? This diamond has turned red in Xu Yang's eyes, as red as blood!
"Brother Niu, brother has a sentence that I don't know when to say it or not!" Xu Yang likes Niu Zhu very much, and it can be regarded as a familiar thing at first sight, he doesn't want this big man to be infected with blood because of a diamond, this diamond has a place where it should go.
"Brother, what you said, my old cow sees that your little brother is right, if you have something to say, just say it!" Niu Zhu glanced at Xu Yang first, and then said arrogantly.
"That's okay! I'll just say it, Brother Niu, I think my sister-in-law likes this diamond very much, but whether you believe it or not, I don't care what you think after hearing me, I hope you persuade your sister-in-law not to buy it, in fact, there are too many good gems now, if Brother Niu likes to go to my stone shop to see, although there are no diamonds, but there are still jadeite!
This diamond has a story behind his beauty, but it has a different story from his surface. Xu Yang won't go on here. Niu Zhu was also stunned! Looking at Xu Yang, he was still bidding over there. Xu Yang didn't have time to say more to Niu Zhu, and continued: "That's it, I'll auction this diamond, and if Brother Niu wants it after the auction, I'll transfer it to you at the auction price, if you don't want it, then I'll send this diamond to where he should go?"
Although it was the first time for the two to meet, Niu Zhu still believed in his vision for many years. Xu Yang also began to call the price, and at this time the price had already reached 120 million! Xu Yang picked up his brand and shouted directly: "200 million!"
This kind of bargaining Xu Yang has done it once, and it is very shocking. The direct span is 80 million, that's not 8 million or 80,000! Eighty million, even these rich people have to think about it more! Everyone looked at Xu Yang, and some people saw a young man holding up a sign. Suddenly, the bidding stopped. The auctioneers below are also a little anxious, this is not the price in their hearts, where did this come from.
"This No. 30 gentleman asked for 200 million, this is the world's largest and most beautiful diamond, this gentleman is very discerning! There is no bidding!" Xu Yang knew his intention when he heard the auctioneer's gushing words, and he said in a tone that was not very big, but many people could hear: "Beauty is really beautiful, but it may be a cursed gem!"
Many people don't know the history of this gem, and they only know that this gem is the largest and oldest diamond in the world! Hearing Xu Yang's words, these big men want to know if it makes sense to ask for this diamond, if it is really as the young man said that it is a cursed gem, then spending money to buy it back will outweigh the losses, in saying that, these men really fancy this diamond is only a few, and the rest of the bidding is not because of the women around them.
One sentence cooled the scene. Lei Laohu has been paying attention to this auction, because this auction has attracted too many rich people, so the things in his auction this time can really be said to be the best and most in recent years, and there is no room for the slightest mistake! Now Xu Yang's words make him feel like a troublemaker. With a frown, he walked up to the front desk and said, "It seems that this young man is not only rich, but also a person with profound knowledge!
That's too obvious, if you don't say one, two, three, then I'm sorry for this matter today. Xu Yang smiled and nodded, didn't care, got up and walked directly to the front desk.
"Little brother, your surname?" Lei Laohu smiled, and his body exuded a breathtaking momentum towards Xu Yang.
Xu Yang's body did not change in any way, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who I am, if Boss Lei checks me, I also have relevant information, and as for other people, I don't want to know that I am a nameless little foot, I came up to explain the meaning of the sentence just now." Please forgive me for any offense. β
A cold light flashed in Lei Laohu's eyes, and Xu Yang gave him a feeling that was too different. But he still said with a smile on his face: "Then please tell this little brother about it! β
"It's better to be respectful than to obey. This diamond is called the Mountain of Light and Koinoor! I won't say anything else, but I'll just tell you what I know. In the 16th century, Babel, the founder of the Mughal dynasty in India, became the first monarch to have a "mountain of light". When he obtained the "Mountain of Light", he hid it in the peacock throne, a symbol of power, and announced to the world that he had received a priceless treasure that was "equivalent to a day's ration for all the people of the world."
However, shortly after receiving the "Mountain of Light", Babel's own son staged a coup d'Γ©tat, threw Babel into a cage, and ascended the Peacock Throne himself, becoming the first king to suffer bad luck after receiving the "Mountain of Light".
As time passed, Shah Jahan, the 5th Mughal emperor famous for his Taj Mahal, became the new owner of the Koh-i-Noor. From then on, the palace became a battleground for power, with more than a dozen of Shah Jahan's sons fighting each other for the throne and the priceless diamond. One of the sons used a sharp blade stained with his brother's blood to force his father to step down from the peacock throne. Shah Jahan was then placed under house arrest in the "Red Fort" in Agra, the old capital of the Mughal dynasty, where he did not see the light of day.
The "Koh-i-Noor" was hidden in the royal palace of the Mughals for nearly a hundred years. In 1738, the Mughal capital of Delhi fell to the Persian Nadir Shah, but Nadir Shah searched Delhi and could not find the diamond he had coveted for a long time......"
