The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Are two tourmaline watermelons really priceless?

There is a price.

According to the current high price of silver, it is about 145 million U.S. dollars, but the purchasing power of silver in the late Qing Dynasty should exceed the present. This is a barbaric algorithm that only considers weight and does not consider any other factors.

But they are priceless!

Because it is priceless to put it in the Palace Museum!

Just like the jade cabbage in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which is also most likely from the Tanglin Underground Palace, was blown by some people to a value of 100 billion US dollars!

Which idiot, 250 would spend this price to buy a stone cabbage?

You have to have the money first!

Besides, the texture of that cabbage is actually not good, it is touted by the desperately, at most it can be regarded as mid-to-high-end jade.

A gemstone is a treasure when it is useful, and a useless stone when it is useless.

Especially emerald!

There is also a criterion for diamonds. There are relatively professional and formal recycling channels. However, although the jadeite thing is considered to have a year-end accumulation in China for more than two hundred years, even before Zhang Nan's rebirth, it is Zhang Nan who knows it, but it is The most reluctant thing to touch!

There is only one reason: new products are difficult to realize!

A new glass imperial green jade bracelet can be sold for tens of millions, or even tens of millions of RMB, in the hands of Zhang Tiejun in Shanghai, whom Zhang Nan knows, for Zhang Nan’s hands...

This city sells 500,000 yuan per day. Initiate all relationships except Zhang Tiejun. If you can sell it for 2 million yuan, let’s have fun!

Zhang Nan can be regarded as a person in the jewellery circle. He knows a lot of rich people, all of whom are like this, let alone outsiders.

If a layman on the street picks up such a bracelet, even if you know that it is a good thing, you can sell it for 30,000 to 50,000 yuan!

Really, the realization of jadeite is too difficult for the layman. One million purchases, twenty thousand can't sell it, not one or two!

Tourmaline is also the same virtue. It was blown in the late Qing Dynasty, and the tourmaline market around the world became tepid after it was blown.

In the 21st century, the whole world continued to blow, anyway, tourmaline looks beautiful, and blows healthier.

Blowing and blowing tourmalines have become valuable again, and all mines that have been shut down for almost a century are blown alive!

"Huh? The mine is alive!"

Turning to this in my mind, it seemed that I could continue to add something to my money empire.

U.S.-made tourmalines have a high rating. The rough stones of the "watermelon tourmaline" category have a high proportion. After 20 years, based on the common bead diameter of 10 mm or more, the overall relatively bright color of a bracelet will cost tens of thousands of yuan.

The wholesale price is divided by 10, which is also more than 100 US dollars, and the proportion of such rough in the United States is not small, and more rough than this standard.

Mosquito legs are also meat, and that piece of land has been bought!

I don’t know where the old California mine is. The United States has relatively complete records of underground mineral mining. It can be found out by sending someone from a jewelry company to the relevant California department for a little thought.

Then it is to buy land, and then wait for the gem speculators in the world to start to fry tourmaline, and then let their own jewelry company also push it in time. When the market rises, it can be mined. Anyway, the U.S. tourmaline mine is the least difficult to mine in the world. Not much cost.

Then……

Zhang Nan also thought of the king of tourmalines-Paraiba tourmaline, which is a fantastic gem that even professionals engaged in jewelry appraisal rarely have the opportunity to see with their own eyes!

It's really beautiful!

The most high-end tourmaline seems to be only produced in Brazil, and Paraiba is its place of origin. High-end 20,000 US dollars per carat, a bit bigger, a 30-40 carat Paraiba tourmaline can be worth tens of millions of US dollars!

The thinking of Westerners is different from that of Easterners. They seem to be particularly obsessed with the gorgeousness of the blue tourmaline. The price is damned-it can be compared with top sapphires and not much worse than diamonds.

But there is a problem: Zhang Nan feels that he has never seen such a tourmaline on the purchase account book of the Star Jewellery Group.

Call in the car.

"Brown, I, Allen...well, just came back today, everything went well. By the way, do we import tourmalines from Brazil now... Uh, I'm talking about blue tourmalines...

no? Are you saying that Brazil has no blue tourmalines? ...

Do you know that there is a region called Paraíba in Brazil that produces tourmalines? ...

You said that someone you know is prospecting in Brazil, what is it called?

Haight Barbossa, oh, okay, got it. Can you get in touch? ...

No, no, you don’t need to contact me now. If I come to the manor for dinner tonight, I will be home in about half an hour... Well, it’s okay, I’ll be at home tomorrow, and see you tomorrow morning. "

Zhang Nan seemed to remember that Paraiba tourmaline was discovered at the end of this year in Paraiba, Brazil, by the gem exploration team led by Haite Barbosa. After years of exploration and excavation, , And named Paraiba tourmaline on the spot.

Not a certain memory, maybe, maybe not, but it's very likely.

I am not a god, nor a computer hard drive. I can never remember the articles and introductions I have read at random in my previous life. Most of them will only have a vague impression when they are mentioned by others accidentally.

Gems exploration is either self-funded or someone else invests. Brown said that his friend was originally quite rich, and he liked to invest in the exploration of gemstones.

But no matter what, gem prospecting is a matter of burning money!

Just like now in the Northwestern Province of Canada, many European and American investors are looking for diamonds in large enclosures. The Northwestern Government is almost laughing out of its teeth. They all follow the trend after watching the success of the "Star Diamond Group".

Of course, De Beers, a giant in the diamond industry, is indispensable here, but judging from the current situation, De Beers's money is drifting, and other investors are waiting to cry!

As a result of 30 years of exploration in history, all the diamond mines that can be mined in Canada have been rounded up by Zhang Nan!

The time that Haite Barbossa has spent in Brazil is not short. The investment in the past few years is estimated to be a painful one: unless a consortium or the country is backed up, otherwise the work of gem prospecting is not generally rich. People can play.

Brown said that Haite’s situation is estimated to be not very optimistic, because he heard the news some time ago and seems to have the idea of ​​looking for financing.

However, exploration is a bottomless pit. "Star International" is busy with its diamond mine reserves for almost half a century, so I did not pay attention to it.

This time Zhang Nan intends to intervene. Investment funding means sharing the risk, but also means sharing the results!

After Zhang Nan finished the phone call, Nicole on the opposite side looked at his expression that seemed to understand after thinking, and smiled and said, "Why, want to build a tourmaline mine?

That won't make a lot of money. "

"Mosquito legs are also meat, so you have to save more for the children."

Zhang Nan smiled like a miser.

Jenny took the passenger seat, Qiu Bo was driving. Sitting opposite was Nicole and Alice, the sister was at home, and Little Lily was sitting on her mother's lap.

Because Ajani is a pregnant woman, she sits right next to Zhang Nan. Now she hears this, except for Qiu Bo who is deaf~www.readwn.com~ and women of all sizes are laughing.

Especially Nicole, smiled and said: "Are you still short of money?"

Zhang Nan curled his lips and said: "People are never satisfied." At this point, Zhang Nan said to Ajani and Alice in the car: "I discussed with Nicole and Jenny before coming. It's all a family, so you should let you know what's going on at home so that you don't have problems in the future."

Upon hearing this, Alice's expression seemed relieved, but she was a little worried: there should be a big problem here!

As for Ajani... there is no change on this heartless face, 100% queen-level!

...

After dinner, let Alyosha take Lily to go fishing. The little man seems to be hooked on this activity.

And Zhang Nan took the four women in the family to the underground warehouse of the second main building on the other side of the manor to show Ajani and Alice part of the family's wealth.

As for those on the private islands, Zhang Nan, Jenny, and Nicole still don’t want to say, knowing too many secrets would be a burden.
