Happy Tycoon

Chapter 246: 1. 7.5 billion U.S. dollars

The fat man who was talking nonsense was naturally slapped by Yang Jing and Lin Dan, and several bodyguards clung to the side to watch the excitement.

After making a fuss, the fat man said, "Lao Yang, how much are these eight gems worth?"

Yang Jing looked at Lin Dan. Just now when Lin Dan talked about purple diamonds and pink diamonds, he once showed his understanding of jewelry. It seems that this kid is not only familiar with mining, but also with luxury goods.

Feeling Yang Jing’s gaze, Lin Dan cleared his throat and said, “Let’s not talk about this purple diamond. The guarantee is 50 million US dollars. Well, look at this pink diamond. Envy you, how can you shop for some superb things."

Lin Dan said, holding up a rough colorless diamond and said: "Look at this colorless diamond. This color has definitely reached the top D grade! As for the clarity, I guess even if it is not the top FL grade, At least it has to be IF level!"

Diamonds have a variety of natural glory, ranging from precious colorless (white after cutting), rare light blue, pink to yellowish. The more clear and colorless, the more white light can penetrate, and the more colorful it is after refraction and dispersion. Diamond glory grading is determined by the technicians repeatedly comparing the diamond to be graded with the standard glory colorimetric stone in the grading status of the professional executive room. The whitest diamond is graded D, that is, starting from the first letter of Diamond, it is divided into 11 grades, in order: D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N .

As for clarity, it is another important criterion for judging the preciousness of a diamond. The FL level mentioned by Lin Dan just now, which is also the flawless level, refers to the professional observation under the condition of 10x magnification, without any flaws inside and outside, this is the rarest and most precious of all clarity levels.

Of course, Lin Dan only relied on visual inspection to judge the grade of this rough diamond, and what grade it actually is. It also requires professional and technical personnel to pass a very complicated appraisal to be able to give the most accurate answer.

However, Yang Jing knows the color grades of these two colorless diamonds. The Holy Ring has already given a "colorless" identification answer, that is to say, these two rough diamonds are the best grade D colorless diamonds.

Lin Dan picked up another colorless rough diamond and looked at it and said, "This rough diamond is no different from that one. Except for its size, this rough diamond is also the best colorless diamond. Well, these two The rough stone is almost more than fifty carats. If you find a master cut, this small one can cut a 20-carat diamond, and this large one can cut a 24-carat to 25 carat diamond. We all know that, let alone 20 carats, even diamonds of more than 10 carats are relatively rare. These two diamonds are so big, plus their purity and clarity are so good, so just these two diamonds, I guess At least forty million dollars!"

Lin Dan put down these two colorless diamonds, picked up the pink diamond again, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "This pink diamond is amazing. Whether it is color or clarity, it is the best! If this pink diamond is After cutting, it is estimated that at least a 15-carat pink diamond can be produced. The Graff pink diamond that I just mentioned was sold at the Sotheby’s auction. Although it weighs an astonishing 25 carats, that one The clarity of the diamond is only VVS2 grade, which is a very slightly flawed diamond. Although our pink diamond is not as big as the Graff pink diamond, I think our pink diamond has better clarity and a brighter color. Therefore, I estimate that if this pink diamond is sold, it should be no worse than the Graf pink diamond! In other words, the conservative estimate of this pink diamond should be 45 million US dollars!"

The fat man listened and calculated silently in his heart. When Lin Dan finished speaking, the fat man clutched his forehead and said, "Xiao Linzi, according to your estimate, these four diamonds alone are about 125 million? I mean. Dollar!"

Lin Dan nodded and said: "This is my estimate! The main reason why the price is so high is that these four little guys are too big, and the color and clarity are too good! Such rough diamonds, just casual It’s no surprise that the value of these four diamonds is so high. Of course, the true value of these four diamonds depends on the professionals. But I think these four diamonds are worth it. The real value should be higher than what I said!"

After a pause, Lin Dan said very positively: "Let's not talk about anything else, just the purple diamond. If Brother Yang is willing to get it at auction, he will definitely get a sky-high price! A 10-carat purple diamond. This is something that has never appeared before, and it will definitely drive the vast majority of rich people in this world crazy!"

Yang Jing said with a smile, "I can't bear to put such precious purple diamonds for auction! Anyway, I am not short of money, and I plan to keep these two colored diamonds for my daughter-in-law to make jewelry!"

The fat man had seen Grid, and he immediately pointed up a big thumb at Yang Jing.

Of course, the fat man also knew Yang Jing's current wealth. Although these diamonds were precious, Yang Jing would not sell them for auction. This guy has good things that he keeps for his family and his wife. He is not short of money, and does not need to auction these things to get money.

Lin Dan picked up a rough sapphire and said, "Tsk, this sapphire is very hanging! It is definitely the best Sri Lanka star sapphire! Well, there are two rubies, they are definitely the best pigeon blood rubies, but I don’t know if they are. It’s made in Myanmar or Sri Lanka. Look at this color, look at this clarity, it’s definitely top-notch! Especially when it’s still this big, it’s amazing!"

The fat man asked, "Then you give these four red sapphires an estimate."

Lin Dan shook his head and said, "I don't want to evaluate red sapphires. My understanding of red sapphires is not as thorough as diamonds."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Xiao Linzi, look at these two sapphires."

"Huh? Isn't this the top Sri Lanka star sapphire?"

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these two sapphires are better than Sri Lanka's star sapphires!"

Lin Dan was taken aback when he heard it, and then as if thinking of something, he asked excitedly: "Brother Yang, is it possible that these two sapphires are the legendary Kashmir sapphires?"

Yang Jing nodded and said, "Yes, these two rough sapphires are the legendary Kashmir sapphires. Look at the colors of these two sapphires, the rich bright blue with purple, and they are as pure as the sky on the plateau. Such a pure color is unmatched by sapphires produced in other places. Only the legendary Kashmir sapphire can have such a pure blue!"

Although the fat man is not very proficient in gems, he has heard of the name of Kashmir Sapphire. "Lao Yang, if these two pieces are really Kashmir sapphires, wouldn't we send them out?"

Yang Jing smiled and said: "The hair is not very good, but it is also very good. From 1979 to 2008, a total of 150 high-quality sapphires appeared in the world. Among the major auction venues, one hundred and twenty-one sapphires were identified as Kashmiri sapphires. The auction price of Kashmiri sapphires per carat is between 39,000 and 135,000 US dollars, which is higher than most colorless diamonds. Yes, but it’s still not as good as the best colorless diamonds and fancy colored diamonds."

After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "However, given that the number of Kashmir sapphires is too scarce, especially the two pieces like ours, which are so large, if they are auctioned, the price may not be much lower."

Lin Dan also said: "Yes, red sapphires are not the same as diamonds. In addition to color and clarity of diamonds, cut is also a very important measure, but the cut of red sapphires is not that important. For red sapphires, In other words, color is the first, and clarity is the second. As for the cut, hehe..."

In order to make it easier for Chris to understand, Yang Jing said these words in English, so when Chris heard these words, he asked: "BOSS, I just knew that Sri Lankan sapphire is the best. Yes, I heard you say that, isn’t it that Kashmir sapphires are much stronger than Sri Lankan sapphires?"

"From the current situation, this is indeed the case." Yang Jing nodded, "Sri Lanka sapphires also have the best quality, but even the best Sri Lankan sapphires are far behind Kashmir sapphires in value. I will give you an example. For example, at the 2014 Christie’s Geneva auction, a superb Sri Lankan sapphire weighing 27.54 carats was sold for 600,000 US dollars~www.readwn.com~ But at the Christie’s Hong Kong auction a year later, A Kashmir sapphire of almost the same weight was sold for 6.7 million US dollars."

When Chris heard this, he shook his head in surprise, "So much difference?"

"Well, the gap is that big. Sapphires are also produced in Myanmar. At Sotheby's Geneva auction in November 2013, an unmounted Burmese sapphire weighing 114.74 carats was sold for 7.2 million US dollars, and in May 2015 At Christie’s Geneva auction in June, a bare Kashmir sapphire weighing only 35 carats was sold for 7.35 million U.S. dollars. One was a Burmese sapphire that was a circle larger than an egg, and the other was about the size of a quail egg. Kashmir sapphire, but the price is similar, you know the difference between the two."

The fat man asked, "Lao Yang, you didn't tell the price of these four red sapphires."

Yang Jing shook his head and said: "These four red sapphires are the best among the best, and they are so big. Even with the simplest bread mountain cut, the finished product can be almost forty carats. The larger ones can even exceed fifty carats! Such a large premium red sapphire, especially such a large Kashmir sapphire, is too rare. Even if it is auctioned, I don’t know how much money can be sold. There is no reference. But I can be sure that the price of these four red sapphires is definitely not lower than that of the purple diamond!"

The fat man murmured to himself: "With these four red sapphires, the eight gems alone are worth almost US$175 million?"
