Bi Fang wrapped the torch around his forearm, tied a slender animal skin to his forehead, and made a second torch to find the gap between the rocks and insert it into it to provide light.

Everything was ready, and Bi Fang climbed down the rock wall next to the round platform.

Standing on the edge of the platform, Harley poked his head out and looked around, lifted his forelimbs and scratched down a few times, before finally retracting his paws and pacing on the platform.

Since entering the mine, the unique environment has no room for it, so the leopard's presence has not been high.

Looking farther and farther away, Harley called a few times, but when he saw no response, he could only lie on the ground helplessly, waiting for Bi Fang to come up by himself in the aperture.

"Whew."

The air rushes down the mouth and nose into the lungs and flows to the limbs.

There is no stable fixed point nearby, there is no way to tie a safety rope, you can only climb with your bare hands, and there is not enough light, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

The audience was all terrified and sweaty in their palms

The oppressive environment, coupled with the difficult movements, Rao is Bi Fang is also sweating profusely.

At this time, the animal skin on the forehead is reflected, which can effectively absorb sweat and prevent it from slipping into the eyes, so you don't have to bother to wipe it, and you can devote more attention to climbing.

"If you are not a professional and don't have enough safety measures, don't imitate me, otherwise..."Bi Fang lay on the rock wall, gasped, and continued, "Remember, one misstep becomes a thousand hatreds." ”。

Seeing such a scene, the sailors couldn't help but wonder if those few diamonds of bad quality were worth the old party's risk.

Bi Fang stayed on a raised rock, with his back against the rock wall, for a short rest, and smiled when he heard this: "My purpose is not for money, or money is only a small part of the reason. ”

Are diamonds worth anything?

There is no doubt that it must be worth money, and whoever wants to say that it is not worth it can send it over, and receive as much as you want.

So is the marketing scam everyone talking about fake?

There is no doubt that it is all true, common diamonds, normal people buy them and depreciate on the spot, and second-hand goods can't even be sold for half the price.

It may sound like a contradiction, but both exist and are not contradictory.

The fundamental reason is that diamonds are valuable, but they are not that valuable, or in other words, they are not worth the price of a shopping mall or a big brand jewelry store.

Just because a marketing scam exists doesn't mean that diamonds are worthless.

"Rough diamond is a kind of mineral product, according to the "Mineral Resources Exploration Theory and Method", the definition of ore deposit is a geological body with economic value, and the definition of ore is a mineral and rock with economic value."

"The definition of mineral products is 'excavated, sorted or purified from geological bodies with economic value', which is a recognized definition, not made up by me."

"Because diamonds originate from mineral deposits, need to be sorted from ores, and are mineral products, they have economic value, by definition, there is no doubt about it."

"Secondly, according to the Office of the National Mineral Reserves Commission, the Reference Manual of Requirements for the Mineral Industry and DZ/T0205-2002, the industrial grade of diamond deposits is 0.0008 grams."

"I know you don't understand what it means, so I'm here to explain, in simple terms, for every 1,250 tons of ore, you can dig out more than 1 gram of diamond, and you can recover the mining cost."

"When converted to gold ore, 1 ton of ore can be recouped by smelting 1 gram of gold, which shows that the average value of diamond per unit mass is greater than that of gold."

[Scolding does not expose shortcomings]

[To be honest, did Lao Fang ever work as a miner before? 】

【Gold Miner, right?】

[Strange knowledge has increased again]

[The main focus is a professional]

"Therefore, from the cost point of view, it is impossible for high-quality diamonds to be worthless, and the cost of mining alone is already very high."

"But there's one thing to note, and that's diamonds, it's not an investment, it's a consumer good!"

"This needs to be clearly distinguished from gold, or the vast majority of gemstones, which are consumer goods, not investments."

"This is also the key reason why the two seemingly contradictory points in front of them appear together at the same time."

Buying something that makes you look good, makes you comfortable, and makes you happy, this kind of behavior is called consumption.

On the contrary, products that want to maintain and increase their value are called investment.

For most people, whether it is buying skin care products, buying a car, buying clothes, or buying jewelry, the goal is by no means to preserve value.

Buying a few thousand or tens of thousands of diamond rings is the same as buying a dress or a car, that is, buying it to wear.

The picture is good-looking and has face.

But it is also the same as clothes and cars, it depreciates when it lands, and it cannot be realized at any time like gold.

Especially if you sell the diamond ring bought from a jewelry brand again, you will find that the diamond ring bought for 20,000 yuan may not be sold at half the original price, unlike gold, which was bought for 20,000 yuan, and if the price of gold rises, it can be sold for 20,000 yuan or more.

Unless you buy tens of millions of pink diamonds, which are rare in the world, that kind of behavior can be called investment.

In the foreseeable future, as long as there is no sudden jump out of a diamond mine that can be mined with existing technology, with huge reserves and huge quality, it will maintain its value.

And this basically has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Moreover, in addition to various conditions, now the technology of man-made diamonds is becoming more and more mature, Bi Fang heard that now diamonds can be planted, and they are exactly the same as nature, although I don't know whether they are true or false, but they must also make the depreciation of diamonds faster.

But no matter what, diamonds are "worth a lot".

After explaining to the audience, Bi Fang continued to climb down.

Everyone finally understands that the so-called "eternal circulation" and "worthlessness" are biased.

Based on the basis of the value of diamonds, it is not difficult to understand Bi Fang's behavior at this time.

Of course, he wasn't really short of money, unless he had a pink diamond the size of a pigeon's egg underneath.

Few people know that Bi Fang has some hamster fetishes, especially this kind of thing that is very rare in the wilderness.

It's like a scar on a hunter's body, a symbol of courage.

Those rare trophies are also proof that Bi Fang has been in this wilderness, and they are medals.

The process of obtaining it yourself is the act of hanging the medal on your chest.

The soles of the shoes fell to the ground, but there was not much sound, and the carpet-thick dust had a perfect effect, and some of the dust raised almost reached the calves.

Bi Fang lifted his foot, and a clear sole print appeared in the firelight.

There is almost no wind in the cave, and the falling ash has accumulated over the years, causing the dust to accumulate to a thickness of several millimeters.

Holding the torch and shining around, Bi Fang walked a few steps along the curved passage between the round platform and the rock wall, and saw an amazing scene after turning the corner.

Two skeletons in tattered denim overalls are stacked on top of each other in an eerie overlapping pattern.

The skull at the bottom shattered, only half intact, and its hollow eye sockets seemed to stare at the explorers who stepped into the place.

The live broadcast room was like a nuclear explosion, and the crowd was excited.

But the two skeletons are by no means the place to detonate everyone.

Bi Fang moved his gaze to the side not far from the skeleton, it was a palm-sized leather bag, the opening was loose and had long been broken, and the leather bag that couldn't hold the opening fell to the side, pouring out some of its contents.

In the light of the fire, everyone could see it clearly.

Sparkling diamonds.
