Sending Wu Zhuo out of the door, Zuo Jing looked at Xu Xin next to him, and said with a smile full of wine: "Xu Xin, let's go, let's drink!" ”

The sun is shining.

Xu Xin stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and glanced at Zuo Jing's high-spirited appearance, "Zuo Dong, you are the boss, and you have leisure to drink, I am a working technician, I didn't listen to what Mayor Wu said just now, let's come up with the results as soon as possible!" ”

"You say this as if I am a person who does not do my job."

Zuo Jing's attitude towards Xu Xin has changed more and more recently, and even his attitude of wanting to confront Xu Xin has become more and more obvious, "Forget it, let's not engage in alcohol today." After the end of the project, let's say okay, when the time comes, the celebration wine, let's talk about the wine! ”

"Okay."

Xu Xin agreed.

"And Dean Yan, let's talk about it, no one can be absent at that time, and we will rest when we get drunk!"

Now that the project is guaranteed to be able to submit at least medium-sized rock and gold deposits, the pressure on Zuo Jing's shoulders is gone, and he lives happily and happily day by day.

Blue Mining is a state-owned enterprise, and he is the chairman, but he does not have the same strong ambition to pursue profits as the chairmen of other private companies.

Every year, the output value set above is completed, and the days are over in a chic way, so tiring!

While chatting, Xu Xin received a call from Bai Yifei.

After greeting a few words, knowing that Xu Xin was in the fire of Azure Mining, Bai Yifei said directly: "You come to the diamond processing factory, come over now, there is something I need to discuss with you." ”

"Senior Yan Peng is also here."

"Let's come over together, let's talk about business first, and have dinner together in the evening."

"Okay, I'll talk to the senior."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin asked Yan Peng directly: "Are you free today?" Teacher Bai said, I have to leave you to finish dinner tonight, and our three alumni have never had a chance to get together. ”

"Chairman Zuo agreed to continue the project, I have to go back to the project department to arrange the work, you know, the time is pressing." Yan Peng was a little embarrassed.

"Just call back and say it, I didn't show a position on the map before, just make a hole in the position I indicated."

Xu Xin's location marking, as long as the hole is drilled to the position, it will definitely be able to see the mine, "By the way, the hole is about 600 meters deep, and when arranging the drilling rig, it will be according to this standard." ”

Yan Peng thought about it, but he was still not very relieved, "Why don't I come to you another day?" ”

"Just today, Teacher Bai gave me an order, if I can't complete the task, I will be criticized!"

Xu Xin pulled Yan Peng and walked out, not forgetting to turn around and tell Zuo Jing: "Chairman Zuo, I hope you can implement the project funds as soon as possible." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zuo Jing felt a sense of loss that he was left out, but now he can be calm, and he won't be angry with Xu Xin, "Drink at night?" Or do I arrange? ”

Obviously, he was still refusing his proposal to invite him to drink just now, but he turned around and ran him down, and several of their alumni arranged it by themselves.

The friendship is not in place.

He summed it up in his heart.

"No, let's talk about the celebration wine at the end of the project!"

Xu Xin drove by himself, followed by a bus from the Water Conservancy Design and Research Institute.

When they arrived at the diamond processing factory in the book, they finally entered the factory after being examined layer by layer.

In a central control room inside the factory, I finally saw Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei saw Yan Peng come in, and hugged him heavily.

The two have known each other for a long time and have a deep relationship.

"Tell you that when you pass by the provincial capital, you must go to my place to sit, the organic zinc and selenium tea I kept for you is still there, just waiting for you to come!" Yan Peng laughed.

"It's too busy." Bai Yifei was a little helpless.

Yan Peng could see that the place where the two met was actually in a factory, which shows how tight Bai Yifei's time was.

"This looks like a laboratory, what's it for?" He looked curiously at the surroundings.

In addition to the various instruments in the central control room, as well as the operation buttons.

The most striking thing is the transparent glass that occupies an entire wall.

Through the transparent glass, you can see that inside is a white laboratory, as well as various experimental equipment, as well as multiple robotic arms to operate the experiment.

With the operation of the technician in the central control room, the robotic arm is carrying out various tasks accurately.

"This is the place where the diamonds are cleaned, so to speak."

Bai Yifei said very bluntly, "The diamond only comes out of the mine, and after crushing, optical separation and other processes, there will be rock impurities on the diamond."

Here, where impurities are removed in batches, chemicals dissolve the rocks, leaving behind clean diamonds. Chemicals are toxic, so it's basically automated. ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out and led Yan Peng to visit the entire factory.

They came to a neat workshop, where more than a dozen technicians dressed in uniform sat in a row, operating various precision instruments, and carefully inspecting each exquisite diamond rough.

"Microscope?" Yan Peng said curiously.

"Yes, here it is to determine the quality of each diamond, and provide it to the buyer according to different specifications corresponding to different prices."

Bai Yifei didn't introduce the situation here too much, and led Xu Xin and Yan Peng to a warehouse.

The warehouse was like a fortress, with heavy steel doors opening open and all the rough diamonds stored inside.

"Get those two big diamonds out." Bai Yifei commanded.

The warehouse director, wearing white gloves, skillfully pulled out two black boxes in the storage room, each with a diamond lying inside.

"We have recently found two more diamonds of excellent quality."

Bai Yifei said this to Xu Xin, and the serious thing he said on the phone just now was precisely because of these two diamonds.

"This diamond is twenty-nine carats, extremely pure, and there are no impurities."

He pointed to the larger diamond and explained.

The diamond shimmers in the light.

"Like a piece of rock candy." Yan Peng said.

This was the first time he saw this diamond, and it was really amazing.

"It's only after the polishing that the diamond really shines its light." The director complimented.

Xu Xin had seen Jingfeng No. 1 diamond, and when he saw the same diamond again, he had a normal mentality, "Teacher Bai, what are you going to do with this diamond?" ”

"I'm here to ask you!"

Bai Yifei called Xu Xin because he needed to determine the ownership of this diamond, "Since the laboratory was put into use, we have now provided two batches of rough diamonds to three jewelers. However, I think that such a large diamond still needs to be treated differently.

Our factory has a rule that rough diamonds over 10 carats cannot be sold at wholesale prices, but need to be sold separately.

It's up to you to decide whether you want to collect it yourself, process it and auction it at auction, or sell it directly to other jewelers. ”

According to the market situation of Jingfeng No. 1, the quality of the 30-carat diamond is so high that it must be auctioned at an auction price of tens of millions.

This is not a small amount, and Bai Yifei did not dare to settle it privately.

After all, the boss of this company is not him, but Xu Xin.

Xu Xin looked away from the diamond the size of a fingernail and pointed to another black box, on which lay a much smaller diamond, and this diamond glowed faintly yellow in the light.

The two rough diamonds are put together, and compared with each other, the small yellowed diamond is obviously much darker.

These two diamonds can be seen with the naked eye in terms of quality and price.

"This small, sixteen-carat, is not particularly pure, and the color grade is not particularly high."

Bai Yifei also came to the conclusion based on the comparison of these two diamonds, "You all know that sixteen-carat diamonds are extremely rare on the market. I showed the designer that this diamond is in a very good shape, and if it is polished according to the heart shape, the final product can reach 10 carats!

A 10-carat diamond with a slightly worse color grade is not cheap! ”

Yan Peng really doesn't know how to appreciate these gems.

I can't help but think of when I was young, I proposed to my wife and bought a ring of more than 5,000 yuan, which I could afford to buy after saving my salary for several months, and my flesh hurt for a long time.

"If it's polished, how much can it be sold for?" He is not exempt from vulgarity, and what he cares about is the price.

Bai Yifei really checked the diamonds of similar specifications, and really had a number in his heart, "Five million, ten million, twenty million are all possible, it depends on who the buyer is and what kind of price he is willing to give." ”

"So high!"

When Yan Peng heard this, he was startled, "I occasionally hear my wife talk in my ear, which celebrity proposal diamond ring is millions, but I didn't expect it to be such an inconspicuous stone, so expensive, beyond imagination!"

I've worked hard all my life, and all my salary can't buy this little stone! ”

When I say this, I can't help but be sad.

There is also a strong irony.

A high-level technical talent, who has worked hard all his life, cannot afford such a small stone.

"Everyone's definition of love is different, as long as you can live happily, whether there is such a gem as an eternal witness, it is not certain." The director also looked very open, "Of course, some people must have such an expensive gem as a bond in their love, hehe......"

This "hehe" is very spiritual.

"Teacher Bai, do you have any plans?" Xu Xin has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, and the management and operation of the two mines have always been Bai Yifei's sole responsibility.

What he needs to do every month is to look at the financial reports handed over by Jiayou Mining Holding Company and the mining company in the book.

Presumably, Bai Yifei has already made a plan.

"This big diamond, after discussion by our factory design department, plans to name it Jingfeng No. 2, process it ourselves, and put it at auction through Wu Chuchu's Xu You Eternal Jewelry."

Bai Yifei didn't stop after saying this, "There is a problem, our company is in urgent need of working capital, if we design and process it ourselves, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it will last for a long time." ”

Diamond processing has always been a delicate technical task, especially for large grains, which can last for months or even years just during the design phase.

What designers need to do every day is to stare at the rough diamond.

Once the processing error is made, the rough diamond will be irreparably damaged.

Xu Xin is very aware of this point, "According to what you mean, are there other plans?" ”

Bai Yifei nodded, "I have already released the news, and the major jewelers will rush over soon after hearing the news." Of course, according to the pre-purchase contracts we signed with the three jewelers, Jin Dabao, Jin Fu and Fu Lu, they have the right of first refusal. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Xu Xin, "If you want to collect these two diamonds, you can stay." ”

Hundreds of millions of carats of diamonds are mined abroad every year, and there are many large diamonds, and all kinds of colored diamonds are expensive.

However, there are very few national treasures or rare colored diamonds on the market.

Especially in China, it is almost extinct.

To put it bluntly, those rare diamonds, diamond miners often collect them by themselves, or are taken down by various local tyrants to collect, and they will never appear on the market again.

Xu Xin had no hobby of collecting treasures, so he shook his head, "Sell it, it's very short of money." ”

His ideas were so pure.

"Rayong came over in the afternoon to see these two diamonds with his own eyes, and he told me that they were going to buy them no matter what!"

"Really?"

"He told me that there is an invisible rich man who has recently married and urgently needs such a diamond, and has sent customized messages with several major jewelers, but he has not found a satisfactory diamond until now."

Bai Yifei said with a smile: "Jin Dabao hopes to facilitate this deal. He told me that the price is negotiable. ”

"Okay, then talk to Rayong."

Xu Xin didn't think too much about it, as long as he could make money, he could say anything.

"This large, because it is a rough stone, according to the shape, the design department's preliminary design plan is to design a square diamond setting. According to the same specification of diamonds, there was a similar one 20 years ago, and the valuation was about 20 million that year. ”

Bai Yifei clasped his hands, stared at the diamond and thought for a moment, and muttered: "This big one, the expectation in our hearts is between 30 million and 50 million. ”

"Okay." Xu Xin has no opinion, it depends on how to talk to Rayong.

"Do you give both rough diamonds to Jin Dabao?" Bai Yifei turned his head and asked Xu Xin for advice.

"No, keep this sixteen-carat one." Xu Xin said.

"Do you have a crush on someone you want to give away?" Yan Peng said with a smile on the side.

"No," Xu Xin shook his head and said seriously, "It's Teacher Bai." ”

"Me?" Bai Yifei didn't understand Xu Xin's words.

Xu Xin nodded, "I've seen my wife, and I can see that you are so loving." I remember you said that you would go back to your hometown at the end of the year and marry your wife. This sixteen-carat, if you don't dislike it, design and process it, and use it as a wedding diamond ring for your wife! ”

"No, no, no......"

Bai Yi didn't dare to take the company's things, this is a matter of principle, "If I reach out to take the company's things, you dare to use me as a person in the future?" ”

"Teacher Bai, how can you think so, I'm sad when I say it."

Xu Xin didn't care about Bai Yi's attitude, and directly instructed the supervisor beside him: "In a while, I will take this sixteen-carat diamond to the design department, the heart-shaped diamond is just in line with the loyal love of Mr. Bai and his wife!" ”

"Okay, congratulations to Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai, I wish you all a happy and happy old age!" The supervisor is very good.

Bai Yi didn't listen to Xu Xin's arrangement, and he really didn't dare to bear such a heavy reward.

"Xiaoli is a countryman, give her such a good diamond, she doesn't know how to appreciate it, and she spoils good things!"

"Whether you know how to appreciate it or not, you have to have a diamond ring, don't you?"

Xu Xin grabbed Bai Yifei's wrist and said firmly: "Teacher Bai, don't shirk it. This diamond, because of your love with your wife, followed the magma to the surface from the surrounding rock of the mantle of one or two hundred kilometers, and waited for hundreds of years before coming to you.

This is the will of God, you must cherish it! ”

There is some truth to this.

The white clothes stopped talking.

Yan Peng smiled on the side and said enviously: "What you said, I want to quit the work of the design institute and come to work in the mining industry in your book." ”

"Yes, as long as the seniors are willing, I am very welcome!" Xu Xin welcomed.

"Forget it, after working in the system for so many years, it's rare to have an establishment and feel more at ease." Yan Peng is envious, and he is still very practical in life.

Bai Yifei smiled knowingly and quipped: "Are you willing to leave the Water Conservancy Design and Research Institute?" If you really come to Shushu Mining, you will be the general manager, and I will be your deputy. ”

"I don't have as high management skills as you, if I really come, I can make the mining in the book a miasma, and you won't have to scold me to death when the time comes."

"You just can't bear it."

"I've been working in a unit for decades, and I'm used to it, just like a fish can't do without water, and I've been doing it like this for the rest of my life, which is good. It's not like you're still young, and you're still working hard. ”

They were chatting when someone shouted outside the door: "Someone outside the factory wants to see you, Mr. Bai, they are Mr. Han and Director Luo of Jin Dabao Jewelry." ”

Rayong often visited the factory, and many of the workers here knew him.

"Coming so soon, bring them here." Bai Yifei commanded.

"Okay." The people outside the door quickly left.

Bai Yifei glanced at the time, it was twelve o'clock at noon, and he originally planned to go to dinner after watching the diamond, but he didn't expect Rayong to come over at this time.

They waited in the warehouse for about ten minutes, and Han Lixing and Luo Yong hurriedly trotted in with an old man.

"Boss Xu, Mr. Bai!"

Han Lixing looked delighted, and after shaking hands briefly, he asked impatiently: "What, what about the rough diamond, can it open our eyes?" ”

"I only called Director Luo in the morning, and you guys are almost there."

Bai Yifei was very surprised, and did not talk nonsense, turned around and beckoned to the supervisor: "Show the diamond to Mr. Han and Director Luo." ”

The Director wore white gloves and dragged two black boxes containing two rough diamonds, one the size of a fingernail and the other half small.

"Huge!" Luo Yong saw Jingfeng No. 1, remembered it vividly, and exclaimed: "This one is very similar to Jingfeng No. 1!" ”

"This one is Jingfeng No. 2." Bai Yifei said with a smile.

Han Lixing has been immersed in the jewelry industry for many years, and when he saw these two diamonds, his eyes immediately lit up.

He knows best in his heart what kind of situation such two diamonds will be when they are placed on the market!

"Expert Yang, you come to palm your eyes." Han Lixing beckoned to an old man behind him.

The old man's magnifying glass said cautiously: "I'll take a closer look." ”

"Please." Bai Yifei stretched out his hand to signal the other party casually.

He is not worried that someone will steal beams and change pillars in the factory, with the security of the factory, with diamonds on his body, he will definitely not be able to get out.

The old man took a magnifying glass and took a picture of the two diamonds, and soon looked up, and Han Lixing and Rayong gave a thumbs up, "Natural diamond!" This one is superb, pale yellow at this moment, and the quality is slightly worse. ”

The diamond is under a magnifying glass, and experienced people can also initially distinguish the good, the real and the fake.

Of course, if you really want to be foolproof, you have to be professional equipment to be able to identify accurately. This step is definitely necessary, because if a diamond wants to be sold, it must be accompanied by a 4C certificate.

Syllable!

Han Lixing slapped his palms together, "Great! ”
