Chapter 251: Red Eyes
At night, Sun Qian came to the backyard of the Dongying Consulate.
In the secret room, after Sun Qian saw Zhongtian Sniper, he immediately said with a mysterious face: "My lord, I heard a big news from Su Can!"
"Oh, what's the news?"
Nakata had an interested look in his eyes.
"Empress Dowager Cixi, dead! It seems that she committed suicide by taking poison last night! Su Can got the news this afternoon, and immediately summoned his cronies for a meeting and secret talks!"
Sun Gan's face turned red slightly, and he said quickly.
“......”
Nakata Sniper and Yamamoto Ronin on the side glanced at each other, both speechless for a while.
After a slight pause, Nakata Sniper turned around and picked up a small ingot of gold from the table again, threw it to Sun Gan and said with a smile: "Yes! If there is such news in the future, you must come and notify you as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Lord for the reward!"
Sun Qianxi was overjoyed, took the gold ingot and looked left and right, and finally carefully stuffed it into his arms and hid it.
Ronin Yamamoto frowned, as if he wanted to speak.
Nakata sniped and waved his hand first, stopping it.
"Sun Qian, apart from this, did you get any news? What did Su Can and them talk about in the meeting?"
Nakata Sniped asked Sun Qian again.
"Yes, but compared to the Empress Dowager Cixi's affairs, the others are much smaller. ”
Sun Qian bowed to Nakata.
"Well, big or small, tell me everything you know. ”
Nakata nodded.
"I heard from the three bags of disciples who led our team...... By the way, Su Can is currently temporarily dividing his subordinates into three levels, namely ordinary disciples, core disciples, and team leaders. It is also called one, two, and three bags of disciples...... Our team leader is three bags, and I am now a core disciple, hanging two bags. ”
Sun Qian pointed to the two patches on his shoulders and then explained, "This one patch represents 'one bag', and two are two bags." ”
Nakata frowned slightly, and then asked again, "Well, that's good." What did your team leader say?"
He said that Su Can planned to sell Qingyangshan...... Since this afternoon, the speed of diamond mining has indeed accelerated a lot, and explosives have begun to be used frequently!"
Sun Qian said quickly.
“...... Su Can actually wants to sell Qingyang Mountain?"
Nakata sniped with a look of surprise.
"Well, this must be true! Our team leader has already ordered us to take turns to enter the core mine tonight to transport the slag, and when we come back, we must prepare our bags in advance, and be ready to leave at any time...... This is really not necessary, although Su Can has paid us some 'wages' now, but compared to the diamonds he harvested, it is really pitiful! Most of the disciples of the Beggar Gang now have nothing to pack, so they just leave. ”
In the end, Sun Qian's eyes showed a hint of resentment.
After listening to this, Nakata's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
After a long while, he spoke again: "Sun Qian, are there any others? You are transporting slag in the core mining area, have you seen the diamonds they mined with your own eyes?"
"Yes! Even though they were very strict, I had seen it secretly! That time I saw them pick out a diamond the size of a little finger and five or six tiny diamonds from a basket of slag!"
Sun Qian said quickly with a greedy look on his face again.
“......”
Nakata was silent again.
After a long time, he continued: "Sun Qian, when is your task of transporting slag? If you are not in a hurry, you can rest in the consulate for a while and taste our Dongying cuisine." ”
"No hurry! I'm scheduled for tomorrow night. Thank you for your hospitality!"
Sun Qian hurriedly said.
"That's good. Yamamoto, you send Sun Qian down to rest first. ”
Nakata Sniper smiled slightly, then turned to Yamamoto Ronin and commanded.
Yamamoto Ronin nodded in agreement and left with Sun Qian.
After the two left, Nakata sat down in a chair, frowning and thinking.
Soon, Yamamoto Ronin had already arranged for Sun Qian to return to the living room.
"Your Excellency Nakata, why did this Su Can suddenly remember to sell the mine? Do you think Sun Gan's words are credible?"
Yamamoto came to stand next to Nakata Sniper and asked in a low voice.
"Maybe it's related to the fact that the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty took poison...... Maybe he has been under pressure from the Demon Capital Yamen again in the past few days. This matter is still credible. Su Can is a hillbilly, a turtle, and an upstart, and he is fine when things are going well, but once he encounters a real big event, he will immediately panic. ”
Nakata said lightly.
"Well, what Your Excellency Nakata said has a point. However, Su Can has already instructed his subordinates to prepare to evacuate Qingyang Mountain, does this situation mean that he has found a buyer?"
Yamamoto nodded, then continued.
"It should be ......," Nakata sighed, then continued, "Diamonds, we don't know enough about them. But unlike Westerners, diamonds have long been circulating in Western courts, and they are a symbol of power, status, and wealth...... This kind of stone is said to be the hardest thing in the world, and after polishing and carving, it is dazzling, far better than the vast majority of gemstones known at present! If Su Can wants to sell Qingyangshan, he will not worry about the buyer!"
“...... Your Excellency Nakata, how did the diamonds come to be? How did Qingyangshan find so many diamonds?"
Yamamoto was silent for a while, then spoke again.
"I don't know...... In short, for thousands of years, the production of this kind of thing is extremely low, only a very small amount has been found in South Asia, the Americas and other places, and the total production of ten or twenty kilograms in the world every year is considered good...... Twenty years ago, a large diamond mine was discovered in Africa, but the expected reserves of that mine are probably ten times, a hundred times, or even more worse than what Sun Qian just said!"
Nakata's eyes flashed.
“...... Such a rare thing, Su Can, a fool, is like selling Chinese cabbage like crazy dumping, just suppressing the price lower and lower?"
Yamamoto Ronin glared.
"That's why I say he's a hillbilly, a turtle, an upstart!
Nakata's emotions were also a little excited.
It's like, they saw with their own eyes that some people sell gold as silver, but they have a lot of it, and they can sell it as much as they want, and they can sell as much as they want. They have no way but to be jealous and jealous, except to dance with others!
Nakata and Yamamoto are both smart people, and in their eyes, if this thing uses a little business and marketing means, the value will definitely burst out, thus bringing a steady stream of huge benefits.
After all, its own hardness, its own brilliance is there, and the world's production at that time is also there, as long as you control the hype casually, the price will definitely explode again!
