In the morning, when he went to the company to get his belongings, including later relaxing in the "Way of the Earth", Li Shi was thinking about a question: what materials to exchange for the newly obtained wealth attribute points.

He searched a lot of information on the Internet and had two options in mind.

Diamond or jadeite, choose one of the two.

Diamonds, usually measured in carat weight, 1 carat is equal to 0.2 grams, and one kilogram is 5,000 carats.

According to the information found on the Internet, the wholesale price of a carat colorless diamond is usually 30,000 to 130,000 in the Shuibei Market, the largest wholesale center in the country, and according to the lowest 30,000, a kilogram of colorless diamond can be worth at least 150 million!

This is not taking into account rare diamonds such as collectible diamonds and high-quality colored diamonds, some time ago, a 14.83 carat pink diamond was sold for $26.6 million at a foreign auction! There is also a 15.81-carat purple pink diamond, which was auctioned at a sky-high price of 223 million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang!

The unit price of jadeite is not as high as that of diamonds.

Compared with diamonds, Li Shi knows more about jadeite, and knows that low-end jadeite is actually very cheap, and you can buy a bunch of hundreds of dollars, but the price of high-end jadeite is also ridiculously expensive, and rare diamonds have a fight.

Getting into the taxi, he continued his search for relevant information.

"Polaroid Auction Company Spring Auction ...... A natural jadeite bracelet full of green round bars was sold at a price of 30,349,000 yuan......"

A bracelet, more than 30 million yuan.

Li Shixin opened a browser window and searched for the weight of the jade round bracelet.

"It's usually 60 to 90 grams, the diameter of the ring is different, the weight is different, and the core of the bracelet accounts for 40 to 80 grams, and the corners have to be counted a little more...... Theoretically, a kilogram of jadeite rough can cut out up to five round bracelets, according to this price, the bracelet alone is 150 million, and the remaining bracelet cores and leftovers are actually very valuable......"

"The auction price can only be used as a reference, but ...... If a kilogram of green high-ice or even glass jadeite is operated properly, in exchange for tens of millions of cash, there should be no problem. ”

So, diamond and jadeite, which one do you choose to exchange?

……

Along the way, Li Shi was constantly looking for information and market trading information on these two precious gemstones, comparing their advantages and disadvantages.

In the end, it was decided to do both!

"After the completion of high school language and literature, it should be upgraded to (proficient-), followed by the courses of the second and third years of high school, as well as the major of my college year - the course of Chinese language and literature, after reviewing all these, how can I upgrade Chinese to the (proficient) level."

"That is to say, in Chinese learning, I can still get attribute points again!"

"Just prepare with both hands, and when the time comes, it's all exchanged!"

"As for which ...... to exchange first?"

In the end, the problem was more deeply thought, and Li Shi no longer considered which one was more valuable, but instead considered which one was more convenient to sell.

"The water in the diamond and jadeite markets is very deep, but relatively speaking, the jadeite market is easier for people outside the industry to access in our country."

-----------------

Wuyi business district is the most prosperous business district in Tanzhou City, including Huangxing Road Pedestrian Commercial Street, IFC, Taiping Street, Wenheyou, Tianxin Pavilion and many other cultural and tourism Internet celebrity landmarks.

Li Shi searched around the pedestrian street, asked all the gold jewelry stores he could find, but did not find the diamond he wanted, and finally came to the IFC and looked at several so-called international brand jewelry stores such as Tiffany and Van Claude Boya.

Not long after entering, he walked out again, the sales of these stores are a bit end, depending on people's faces, but it doesn't matter, if they have what Li Shi wants, he can bear it, the key is no.

"Is it so hard to find a small colored diamond that has not been irradiated?"

After he decided to choose diamonds and jadeite, he naturally came here to purchase exchange samples.

Summarizing the information collected on the Internet, Li Shi set the sample selection criteria according to his own needs——

Diamonds: fancy color diamonds (preferably pink diamonds, blue diamonds), less than 50 cents (0.5 carats), high clarity, no irradiation, etc.

Jadeite: The volume can be very small, but the closer the color is to the imperial green glass, the better.

I visited seven stores in the afternoon, but I didn't find what I wanted, so Li Shi had to go home.

On the way back to the car, he thought about it and felt that he still had to use the Internet, so he searched the Internet: where to buy colored diamonds.

searched and searched, and finally found a video blogger on Douyin on the theme of buying gold jewelry for fans in Shuibei, named "Sister Jewel".

This gem sister has made more than 100 videos of buying gold jewelry for fans, has 365,000 followers, and describes herself as a gem appraiser on her homepage.

After Li Shi watched more than 30 videos of her, he tried to send her a private message in the background.

I didn't expect to receive a reply soon, so I added her work WeChat.

Two minutes later, WeChat was successfully added.

He began to cheekily make up stories: "Sister Jewel, I followed you when you only uploaded a few videos, I like your videos very much, I watch them every time I update them, and I am a loyal fan of yours!" ”

Sister Jewel: "Thank you! Do you want me to buy diamonds for you? ”

Li Shi: "Yes, I want to ask you to help me find a small colored diamond." ”

Sister Jewel: "Colored diamonds? Yes, what's your budget, and what are the specific requirements? ”

Li Shi had already thought about it in his mind, and immediately replied: "The budget is below 20,000 yuan, preferably pink diamonds and blue diamonds, the size is less than 50 points, the color is a little better, the clarity is a little higher, if the clarity is high enough and the color is good enough, even if it is less than 20 points, it doesn't matter, the budget can be a little more, but it must be a natural colored diamond without irradiation, and it is better if there is a formal and authoritative certificate......

Sister Jewel: "Hey, your requirements are detailed enough and special enough, but the budget of 20,000 yuan is a bit small, and it is very difficult to find, is it convenient for video communication now?" ”

Li Shi found a location where he could only see the wall, and then replied: "It's convenient." ”

Soon, the other party's video was sent and connected.

The two greeted each other, chatted a few polite words, and then turned to business.

"Mr. Li, it's like this, it's no problem to help you find it, but I need to film the process of finding diamonds, cut it into a video and upload it to platforms such as Douyin and Station B, and I have to ask for your consent first."

Li Shi thought to himself, I hope you are like this, so it should be more attentive to find it, and hurriedly replied: "No problem, I agree." ”

"Well, I've been short of materials lately, so I'll help you find them tomorrow. When I find the right one, I'll send you a video. ”

"Okay, thank you very much."

After hanging up the phone, the two communicated a lot of details on WeChat, including the payment method and so on.

Sister Gem is experienced in this area, and she offers two options: after finding the right diamond, she can either transfer the money to her online, and she will buy it and mail it by the insured price; Either Li Shi hurriedly went to Pengcheng Shuibei, and she took it to the merchant and bought it directly from the merchant herself.

Li Shi checked the traffic from Tanzhou to Pengcheng, and there were many high-speed rail trains, as long as it took more than three hours, and he immediately chose the latter one.

"Just right, by the way, you can go to Pingzhou Jade Market again!"
