The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The two Indians were fiddling with the 8.93-carat rough diamond, and seemed to be trying to figure out whether it could reach the gem level, which made Xiang Zhangsheng also a little interested.

If the gray is only the surface, the inside is colorless or the color changes, then it is a treasure; if the inside and the outside are gray, then it is depressing!

The two Indians are just screeners, and Xiang Zhangsheng is a genuine technical engineer of the mine: There are also classes in the company, and Comrade Zhang Sheng's identity can be equivalent to the rank of vice president of the company.

Even if Zhang Nan is not there, as long as Xiang Zhangsheng is interested, the two Indians will respectfully send the diamonds, let alone the biggest boss.

Sitting on the inspection platform, Xiang Zhangsheng looked at it with a magnifying glass under the light for a while, then raised his head and said with regret: "The clarity can reach VVS2 or VS1. Although the color is blue, it is still gray diamond. It is a pity. NS!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan asked: "If it is cut and polished, will it shine?"

"That's a certain degree, and the clarity is enough, even if it is black, it will be bright, but this gray has not been marketed for a long time."

It is a pity that Xiang Zhangsheng is also there: 8.93 carats, such a good clarity, how can it be gray!

No way, this gray diamond has not been the choice of jewelry industry for a long time in history, and for such an excellent original shape rough diamond, the weight of the finished diamond that can be retained after cutting is generally close to 4 carats. Good luck 5 Carats are not necessarily.

If it's a colorless diamond, it's valuable, the dove egg, but it is a **** gray diamond!

The most unwelcome thing in diamond mines is the kind of "dirty diamonds". The color is not good and the clarity is rotten. The life of industrial diamonds, if you encounter the big particles, you can't wait to smash the bones with a hammer!

The pure natural gray diamonds are the most pity, especially the large particles.

Just a breath away!

The diamond mines of South Africa, the Soviet Union, Brazil and Australia all have gray diamonds. The color grade of gray diamonds is generally between light silver gray to dark gray graphite.

However, light gray diamonds are generally not pure gray. For example, many gray diamonds produced in the Argyll mine in Australia often present the second color of green and blue.

This situation is not uncommon. In fact, the official color rating of some famous blue diamonds in the world is "light gray blue"-including the famous "Hope Diamond", "Moroccan Sultan" and "Blue Waiters Bus".

It is a pity that the second color of the rough diamond at hand has not reached the level of "light gray blue". It is really tasteless and a pity to discard it.

Zhang Nan also took the rough diamond and looked at it, and said, "Do we have this kind of rough gray diamond that can't fit in?"

Davis on the side said immediately: "Yes, many, as long as they are high-clarity diamonds, they are usually sold. It is a pity to sell industrial diamonds. Mr. Jain also has some."

"Then find a designer to specifically design jewelry styles with matching gray diamonds. You need an alternative design. This diamond has high clarity and always has a gloss. The price is 30 to 40% lower than that of ordinary diamonds.

There are many different characters in this world, and maybe a new series may be released.

It doesn't matter if it is unsuccessful, just as an attempt to use waste. "

In the company, Zhang Nan said that he would follow the law, and the people below would do it. Anyway, the manpower and material resources needed to be paid are not large.

As for the Indian partners here, they can’t even intervene. Whoever makes the other party just a small shareholder has the right to speak in his own hands.

After finishing talking, Zhang Nan said to the two Indians: "You also say hello to Mr. Manu Jain. The diamond design in India is very distinctive, and maybe it has good inspiration."

There are more people. Zhang Nan knew that around 2010, Australia's Rio Tinto launched a series of silver-gray diamond products. The price was 20-40% lower than that of colorless diamonds of the same clarity and size. Quite popular with the market.

The output of gray diamonds is not large, but if they can be used, it is not a small wealth, and it is more profitable than using them as industrial diamonds.

And now that the technology of man-made diamonds is becoming more and more mature, the demand and price of industrial diamonds are gradually going downhill. If the high-clarity gray diamonds are sold out to explore the market, it is not necessarily a small piece of sky.

The original diamond was thrown back to the plate, and Zhang Nan smoothly grabbed a few rough stones of about 2 carats. These were still not carefully graded-the mining area will only do the most preliminary grading, and the careful classification will only be carried out after sending it to the Yellowknife City.

There are colorless, yellowish, and some brown diamonds with obvious inclusions. The last one is cheap industrial diamonds.

There are a few octahedron and 12-hedron rough diamonds like small rock candy, which look very cute.

After cutting, the charming luster of the diamond will be revealed, and it will not be cute, but green-in Zhang Nan's eyes, it is the cute Franklin.

......

This is considered to be the end of the inspection, Zhang Nan will not leave the mining area tonight, and will fly to Yellowknife City tomorrow on the 23rd, and then return to New York the day after tomorrow.

Dinner with a bunch of old friends from Huaxia, standard Huaxia dishes, there are chefs from Huaxia, but the ingredients are all western characteristics.

For example, meat and fish, meat is beef, and fish is cold-water fish. This thing is not found in other places in China except in the northern and northeastern parts of Western Xinjiang.

The beef is frozen, and that's the case at minus 30 or 40 degrees. There are not many vegetables, so it is transported in a special container heated, and it is the batch that came from the truck of Company Commander Sun Hongming.

As for the abundance of fish, it didn’t cost money, because there was no need to purchase by the logistics department. Some time ago, the ice expressway could not be opened, but the ice layer of 20-30 cm thick has been formed in Lake Gera, plus the mines. Because of the shortage of supplies and restricting production, the gang of vacated guys were so idle that they started a mass production movement and ran to the lake to fish.

We don’t know how to fish with big nets under the ice of Chagan Lake, but fishing with gillnets in two ice holes and ice-cutting will still drop.

The growth of fish in Lengshui Lake is slow, but it can’t stop anyone from catching it. Needless to say, the harvest is: Excluding the connected chaotic waters, the length of the main lake of Lake Gera is more than 60 kilometers, and the width is more than ten kilometers to four. It ranges from more than ten kilometers, and the area feels larger than that of Zhang Nan's hometown!

As far as dozens of people have engaged in such a "mass production movement", for the fish in the entire Great Lakes, it is really not a drop in the bucket!

Grab, grab whatever you want!

When it’s not frozen, because of the busy work, at most a few people will go fishing in a hurry. When the time comes down, the workers are full of energy. In just a few days, they have collected dozens of tons of trout, pike, bass, Canadian whitefish... …

No fishing license or fishing license is required. This is a wasteland. You can catch whatever you want.

But I was too busy for a week and stopped-no matter how many catches it is, it will be enough for everyone to eat for a winter. Do you still want to develop fisheries and let those trucks that transport materials go to Yellowknife for sale?

Don't be funny, Yellowknife City is right next to the Great Slave Lake. That big lake covers an area of ​​28,600 kilometers, which is as large as 10 of Lake Gera here, and there is no shortage of fish if there is nothing.

The environmental conditions are tough, so we must do a good job in eating. The method of fish alone is grilling, braising, steaming, frying...

It has everything, a mix of Chinese and Western styles.

What about from India?

Do you like it or not!

Fortunately, the Jain family who sent them know that people who are vegetarians in the northern wilderness of Canada cannot survive, and they are also carnivores.

The restaurant was open, and Zhang Nan saw that several Indians were eating fish steaks very fast, but they kept their way from the braised beef and were still eating chicken legs over there.

Last night, Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong had a drink with Lao Zhang and Lao Lou who had come out of a motorcade with Lao Xing and his son. They found that Lao Xing and his son had walked into the restaurant with the coldness on their bodies.

Old Zhang stretched out his hand here: "Here!"

Waiting for someone to sit down, then I figured out: Xing family father and son departed on time at 5:30 in the morning, this will arrive before 19:00, and they have driven nearly 400 kilometers in 13 hours.

At this speed, Canadian and American drivers would not dare to drive because they were in the parking lot. They would not be able to unload their fuel until 21 o'clock in the evening, so they would eat first.

Near noon the next day, Zhang Nan boarded the "Double Otter" and returned to Yellowknife. All the people who ate and drank together last night, except for Lao Xing and his son, who left the car early this morning.

Speed ​​on the ice is so hard.

...

On December 24th, Zhang Nan caught up with the dinner at Long Island Manor, and then there was a big gift delivery between each other.

Not only Zhang Nan gave others gifts, he received a lot of gifts, for example, Charlize Theron gave him a shirt.

It was another two days of trouble, and then I didn't know what to do.

During the New Year holidays in the United States, Zhang Nan really didn't know what to do.

To the Philippines?

No, I'm too lazy to move.

To the Caribbean?

Without that time, I will go to Washington DC in a few days.

Just calm down and revise the script of "Titanic". If you don't understand the professional script, the story will still be written: I am actually a little dissatisfied with the original movie because it is too noble!

The tender for ship design has almost entered the final stage. The shipyard in Saint-Nazaire in France and the shipyard in Italy both have this strength. As for the United Kingdom...

Forget it, the strength of building luxury cruise ships has long been smashed by France and Italy. Even the Finns are capable of throwing the original empire of the sun never set a few blocks away!

But the current bidding is a whim to the outside world. Thinking about copying a Titanic, he didn't expect this guy to use it as a movie prop.

This is not bad. If the real purpose of this meeting is revealed, Zhang Nan suspects that a group of people will come to protest!

The Titanic, a pain in the hearts of Europeans and Americans, especially for the arrogant British, Zhang Nan wanted to take this scar apart and add a blockage to the British who feel good about themselves.

Harm others and disadvantage yourself?

No, Zhang Nan doesn't do business at a loss if it hurts others and benefits himself.

Calm down to revise the story, and family members also come to advise, such as Ajani.

As a senior filmmaker, Ajani admired the courage of her own man after watching the story that Zhang Nan spent a lot of time revising.

"Ellen, some guys will get mad when the British see it. You don't want the British box office?"

There was a bit of playfulness in Rose de France's eyes.

"Movies are just a little toy of mine. Besides, the UK only gets more box office. I don't care if it has it or not.

If you want to play, you have to have a taste, just be happy.

By the way, it will take at least six years to shoot. Are you interested in giving Charlie a green leaf by then? "

Zhang Nan's eyes are also a bit playful.

Adjani smiled and said, "I have no problem, acting as a French lady?

Dead or alive? "

"Live, I can't bear to shoot you to death."

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan suddenly thought of Jenny and her British relatives. It would be bad if she made her home uneasy because of a movie, so she hurriedly called people to let her read the story.

Jenny didn't have time to watch, just listen to Ajani's words.

After listening, the opinion was clear: "My mother's family is a commoner, and her ancestors have been there for many generations. The stuff of those high-class people has nothing to do with our family!"

Busy, let’s go now.

Recently, Jenny has been busy at home alone, because the stock market disaster in Japan has gradually developed into an economic crisis, and she has many things.

And it's not just Japan, there are actually some businesses in Wanwan: a lot of money went to Wanwan on Wall Street six months ago, all of which are hot money.

Jenny also participated in the peace. There will be a US$700 or 800 million withdrawal, which is a small profit of 40%.

Wanwan is also about to suffer a stock market disaster. This is the expectation of Jenny and the next group of experts, but unlike Japan, where the market is mature, Wanwan’s situation is complicated, and hot money is collected as soon as possible.

Thinking of doing it like in Tokyo?

Be careful, let alone whether the money will come back, whether people will get back is a problem!

Regarding the problem of the Wanwan stock market, Zhang Nan didn't intervene, and he would make money if he could. Anyway, if he didn't make money, others would also make money.

Now Jenny has nothing to say, and the script can be completely according to her own preferences.

The main line remains unchanged, which is to make some modifications to the characters and character descriptions other than the heroes and heroines, so as to be as close to the real history as possible.

For Zhang Nan’s story and the big ship, the history experts hired by Star Columbia found a huge amount of historical data, especially according to the boss’s request, to find out how the European and American media hacked the Chinese at the time. By the way, they also found out what seemed to be at the beginning. The Minister of Railways of the little devil has been hacked!

On January 3, 1990, James Cameron was summoned by Zhang Nan to Long Island. This buddy is doing the preparatory work for "Terminator 2" and is very busy.

But the boss called for someone, and even if Cameron had a big arrogance, he would have to rush over immediately.

Who makes this boss different and can't be offended: Titanic has started bidding. Who else has this courage and financial resources?

For three days, plus three historians hired and signed with confidentiality agreements, a senior screenwriter, and a group of people gathered to discuss the plot.

With the deepening of the data analysis ~www.readwn.com~, what happened on the Titanic was dug up layer by layer.

"The truth only appears when it is needed." Scenes of noble and ugly things that happened when the giant ship sank have been dug up!

"Boss, I will reasonably join the scene of the 8 Chinese crew members when the final draft is finalized. Also, those villains can't escape!

As for the Japanese official, which version do you think is better? "

"At that time, the most powerful version for us, this pre-shooting change is too late.

The internal restoration design is too time-consuming. This 50,000-ton cruise ship is generally designed for half a year, but we can’t get it for a year and a half.

Shipbuilding is another two or three years, and it would be good if it could be completed in 1995.

If you add a trial flight or something, you are ready to start filming in 1996. We are not in a hurry, and it will be released in the summer of 1997. "

Are there Chinese on the Titanic?

Yes, eight Chinese workers have been hacked by Western media for decades!

Why?

Because 6 survived.

Zhang Nan decided to turn over that period of history.

Of course, this is a Western romance movie. Chinese actors and actresses will not take up too much proportion, just to let modern people know why there are 8 Chinese laborers who hold one-fifth of the white wages of the same kind of work. Survived that shipwreck.

Also, let the world see what happened on the ship!

There are rich western gentlemen who dare to face death and are determined not to get on a lifeboat, but there are more rich villains!

A movie can affect history, this is not empty talk, this is also the terrible part of American film culture, using movies to influence the world.

Zhang Nan intends to play with this very useful tool, telling the real history in a fake story.

"Gentleman? Damn! Shameless!"
