A Mercenary’s War

Hearing Morgan's conversation with the appraiser, Gao Yang had some bad thoughts, because the big diamonds that he didn't take out and was lying in his pocket were the guarantee of his wealth.

The problem is that the treasures that Gaoyang uses to press the bottom of the box are all colored diamonds. If the colored diamonds are not valuable, then the problem is even greater.

With a lot of income involved, Gao Yang couldn't help but hurry and said in a low voice: "No, please wait, Mr. James, you said that diamonds are not colored before they are valuable? So, are colored diamonds worthless? Like pink or black? "

James said with a smile: "No, no, colored diamonds are more valuable. The colorless I am talking about refers to the purity. The transparent diamonds are free of impurities and the more pure the more valuable, such as low-grade diamonds will appear brown or Grey and other variegated, and colored diamonds also look at purity, colored diamonds are much more expensive than colorless diamonds of the same grade. "

Knowing that colored diamonds are more valuable than colorless diamonds, while Gao Yang was relieved, his mood became better, and he smiled at the moment: "Very good, I'm fine, please start."

James took out a small electronic magnifying glass and carefully looked at the diamond for a while, then raised his head incredulously and said: "The quality is very very good, mind between the highest level and the next level, and it is still so big Counting as the highest grade of rough diamonds, it is presumed that the purchaser will not have too much opinion. This diamond is worth 500,000 US dollars before being polished, at least this number. "

Gao Yang and Morgan glanced at each other. They both nodded softly, then smiled and said: "I like to hear the good news, please continue. Mr. James. I hope this batch of diamonds have the same level."

The remaining diamonds are not much, the largest is the size of soybeans, after cutting and grinding, it is suitable for the size of the diamond ring, James put the identified diamonds aside, from the remaining diamonds After picking out a relatively large one, I continued to identify it.

Identifying the grade of a diamond is not a glance. But James was very slow at the beginning, and sooner or later. The later, the faster.

After James looked at all the diamonds, he raised his head and pointed to Morgan: "Sir, this batch of diamonds. There are seven diamonds that can reach the fl level, that is, the highest level, and the second if they reach the if level. There are thirty-six in the first class, and the rest are all in the third class. The classification standard I just mentioned belongs to the bare diamond after polishing. It is not very suitable for the original diamond, but in order to make it easier for you to understand, It ’s okay to use the standard of loose diamonds. "

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. James. This is the case. If these diamonds are from the same mining area, can you think so? Your identification results prove that the diamonds produced in that diamond mine are all extremely high. quality."

After hesitating for a while, James said: "Sir, I am only a gemologist, not a geologist. Your question is somewhat beyond the scope of my work, but. From my personal experience, I personally think you can do this Understand. As long as the diamonds identified are not specially selected high-quality rough diamonds, I personally think that the mining area that produces these diamonds can be regarded as a super-quality mining area. "

Gao Yang was very satisfied, but Morgan frowned: "I don't quite understand. Does the origin of the diamond have a great relationship with the grade?"

James said with a smile: "Yes sir, it has a lot to do with it. The largest diamond producing areas are actually Australia and Russia, but the diamonds produced in Australia cannot be called gem grades at all. They are of very low value, and the same is true for Russian diamonds, so we When it comes to the largest diamond producing area, it is considered South Africa, because South Africa is the largest producer of gem-quality diamonds. "

Morgan nodded and said: "Very good, thank you for your professional opinion, Mr. James."

This was Morgan's eviction order. James stood up, shook hands with Morgan and Gao Yang, and left the room under the leadership of Nelson.

Gao Yang originally wanted James to help him see the diamonds, but he was a little worried, so he did not take it out directly. After James left, Gao Yang whispered: "Where did this expert come from? The most important thing is that he is reliable? "

Morgan laughed: "Of course, is it still necessary to ask, if not reliable, how could I bring him to South Sudan."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Very well, then he has to help me identify it again, because, I didn't intend to let him see real good things."

Morgan said in surprise: "Man, do you have any better?"

Gao Yang smiled, took out the largest red diamond from his pocket and pinched it in his palm, then he put his hand on the glass round table, slowly let go of the hand, and let the diamond appear in front of Morgan.

Looking at the huge diamond on the round table, Morgan held his breath, his eyes were about to stare out, and after a hard spit, he trembled: "God, this is God's masterpiece, It's so beautiful, so beautiful, can I pick it up and see? "

"Of course, please read at will."

Morgan took the diamond in his hand and glanced at the sunset in the window.

Diamonds show a gorgeous rose red color, but if it is blood red, it seems more appropriate. Under the illumination of the sunset, the sun refracts the diamond and leaves a gorgeous red light on Morgan's face.

"It's so beautiful! I can't breathe!"

After stunned, Morgan glanced at Gao Yang, and then put the diamond on his face solemnly and put his hand to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang didn't know what Morgan meant, but he still held his hand with Morgan. As he shook hands, Morgan said seriously: "Congratulations, Gao, congratulations on stepping into the ranks of billionaires. With this diamond, you can live your retirement in advance. "

Gao Yang smiled and said: "I also think this diamond is at least worth more than 100 million, I hope that as you said, this diamond can make me a billionaire."

Morgan swallowed and said, "This diamond is magical and can ingest human souls. I have no interest in gems, but looking at this diamond, my eyes can't be moved. It's amazing, so beautiful. , This is the most touching thing in this world. "

Gao Yang curled his lips and said, "It's not easy to get this diamond. I almost gave my life. It's really like what you said. I can't move my eyes when I look at this thing. When I looked at it for the first time, it was so bad. It took her strength to remove her eyes. "

Morgan hurriedly said: "Hurry and ask James to see how much the bottom value is, high, think about it, if you can find one, there will be a second, a third, if we mine diamonds, even if we find two such Diamond, no, even if there is only one, this mine is worth opening. "

Gao Yang reached out and said: "No, wait, it's not the same as you think. The origin of this diamond, um, how to say, have you heard of the Star of Hope? The most famous blue diamond."

Morgan nodded and said, "I know, the Star of Hope is too famous. Of course I have heard of it. Although it is not too clear, I remember a French explorer. In a temple in India, it is exactly The diamond was stolen from a god, and the explorer got off very badly. After his death, the star of hope was given to Louis XIV. When Louis XIV died, it was given to Louis XV, then Louis 16. In short, everyone who got the Star of Hope has a terrible end, then the banker, and then ..., I do n’t remember well. In short, everyone who gets the Star of Hope is very bad. Hope The star became the cursed star, and until its last owner, an American, donated the star of hope to the Smith Institute, the tragedy came to an end. "

Gao Yang sighed and said, "You should be able to understand why I asked you if you know the Star of Hope?"

Morgan opened his mouth wide and said: "Did you get this diamond from the god?"

Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "Yes, the eyes of a god, so I think it is better to dispose of it as soon as possible."

Morgan was taken aback, and when he looked at the red diamond, his eyes were no longer as hot as before, but a little more vigilant.

After taking a closer look at the diamond, Morgan whispered: "Don't tell anyone about the origin of the diamond, don't tell anyone, with the Star of Hope this is not a precedent of legend, people will definitely not be willing to buy it from the god. Diamonds, even if this diamond is really beautiful, hell, just now I wanted to buy it as a heirloom no matter how much money I spent. Now I change my mind. "

Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "Yes, I originally planned to treat it as a heirloom ~ www.readwn.com ~ passed down from generation to generation, but I remembered that the Star of Hope used to be the eye of a god, um, I immediately dispelled this Thought, I have to sell it as soon as possible, even if the price is lower.

Morgan nodded and said: "The right choice, well, let's figure out how much it is worth."

After he finished speaking, Morgan shouted: "Nelson, please ask Mr. James to come over again."

Gao Yang first put away the diamonds and waited for James to come in again. After Nielsen went out and closed the door, Gao Yang slowly said: "I'm sorry, Mr. James, please ensure that you will keep the information you see next strictly confidential, and don't ask anyone Speaking. "

James smiled: "Sir, this is a must."

Gao Yang nodded, put the red diamond on the round table, and said softly, "Please see it."

James was completely dumbfounded, looking at the diamonds on the table, he said stupefied: "This is, is this fake? I can't believe that there is such a perfect thing in the world, it is red, perfect red, Compared with this diamond, Museyev red diamond is a glass bead, and my reason makes me unable to believe my eyes!
