Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

The sun shines through the dense layers of leaves of the maple tree, shining the projection of the sun on the ground. The south wind brings the fragrance of the spike flower shirt. The freshly cut grass smell is also full of familiar cells.

The house fell on the southernmost end of the tree-lined road, and the gentle coolness tried to dispel the heat of early summer. Although it was repeatedly defeated, it was not discouraged.

The translucent sky is a rare good weather. The few clouds moved slowly, inadvertently being blown into a strip by the wind, and then kneaded a few times, and thrown it farther away. The sweet-scented tree in the garden made a rustling voice, and its symmetrical rhythm rubbed its siblings and exchanged their thoughts over the past few days.

Set foot on the intimate land, backed by the spider eggs that he planted, faced with the melancholy of history and was once again diluted by the feeling of home, Huang Xuan swept the green leaves of each tree with a happy mood, thumped the hard hard Loquat tree shouted at the small building behind the courtyard: "I'm back."

Zhou Da ’s housekeeper soon ran out, looking at Huang Xuan ’s undershirt, and he could n’t help but say, “My eldest son, how did you do this in the past two days.”

"It's hot." Huang Xuan smiled and said, "How about my father and mother?"

"All have gone to work, it seems quite busy these days."

For this time period of P112, Huang Xuan has left for nearly 4 days. Fortunately, he talks with his home every day. Zhang Xinyi only thought that he went to Shanghai to handle some port affairs, but he was also somewhat encouraged. What objection.

Huang Xuanlian took two sips of water and wiped his mouth and said, "What about Li Qing?"

"I'm still in the hotel, listening to the kid who passed in the last two days. The experts the lady found were exhausted. Li Qing also stayed up all night and all night. When others didn't sleep, he didn't dare to sleep, and he worked hard. "But Zhou Guanjia complained a lot when he said this. Huang Xuan just smiled. Was he idle in P101? The roar of the printing press could make people's heads blast, and he was anxious to spend money during the day. I have never slept. Wait until you leave. A biological bomb knocked out half of the factory, and this made a bad breath. Let it dare to disturb the dream again.

"How is Grandpa?" Huang Xuan asked with a short-sleeved shirt handed to him by the butler.

"It's still the same." Zhou Lian didn't say much.

Huang Xuan nodded. He said he knew, and he would ask Grandpa's condition by phone over the past two days, but when he was old, he recovered, but he was always unsatisfactory.

Taking a shower in the small bathroom in the yard, Huang Xuan wiped his head and walked out. This small bathroom was built together with the swimming pool, but unfortunately because of the base. The swimming pool was filled again by Huang Xuan, and now all of the underground is the earth and stone structure that was transferred into after the base was removed.

"Call Li Qing and tell him that I have finished my work, uh ..., how does the mother say thank those experts?" Huang Xuan asked with some indecision.

Zhou Lian put a bathrobe on Huang Xuan and said: "My wife should have approved the project for several professors. Sponsor the research, I don't know the specific situation."

Huang Xuan nodded and said, "I'm going to the United States tomorrow. It's too late to see them. You can see how convenient it is to thank others, don't say I'm back, just like that."

The welcoming things were naturally familiar to the housekeeper, and Zhou Lian immediately agreed, but said in his mouth: "Everyone said that Master Huang did not like to study, but I didn't expect you to have a set of business."

Huang Xuan smiled, but said: "This is my mother's genetic inheritance."

"My wife's education is good." Zhou Lian said, and the two had entered the room, he stopped walking: "You just got off the plane, get tired and sleep first, let me cook for you , Does the lady know that you are back? "

"You can help inform me. I came back to the ground by car. I was really sleepy." Huang Xuan yawned, went upstairs halfway, and stopped again, said: "Uncle Zhou, there is something else, you help Let me inform Aubrey, the manager of Citigroup. Let him come before dinner. If you do n’t know the phone number, ask Li Qing. "

"it is good."

...

There was no noise and no smell. Huang Xuan slept extremely sweetly. When he was a little conscious, it was already like five or six o'clock in the afternoon.

With a yawn, Huang Xuan rubbed a T-shirt, Zhou Lian heard the voice come in, looked at him and smiled and said: "That Mr. Aubrey has been waiting for you for almost two hours, you Do you take a shower first, or do you see him now? "

"Just now." Huang Xuan was also awake at this time, went back to the house and took a small box, put a few diamonds from P101, and then slowly walked down the stairs. Since precious metals consume too much plane energy and far exceed the value of gold and silver, apart from a few artworks such as Faberge eggs, the rest of these things have been stripped, except for Hans Some of them are mostly sent back to China.

For Aubrey, he hadn't seen Huang Xuan in 4 days, but for the latter, it was almost two weeks.

It seems that the life of Citi's professional manager is getting better and better. Not only the skin is very well-maintained, but the suit on his body has also changed to Dunhill. It looks many years younger.

Huang Xuan was slightly afraid of the light to cover his eyes, squinted at Aubrey, and said with a smile: "Mr. White is okay recently, have you gone to Beijing to see the Great Wall?"

"Where there is time." Aubrey quickly clarified that he guessed that Huang Xuan must be busy raising money in the past two days. The $ 1.2 billion financing bond is too difficult for the company to buy but personal financing. At the same time, neither the Sifang Group of Huang Xuan's mother, nor the Huang's Fund itself, can afford such a large sum of money to purchase bonds. In fact, the debt ratios of these two institutions are not low. Lord Jin is running around, but Aubrey dare to travel on his own.

Huang Xuan nodded recklessly, took out the small box he had just taken out, put it on the table, and said, "Mr. White will look at this first."

"Okay." Aubrey took the box in his hand while talking, and the translator beside him consciously sat out, actually. Now that Huang Xuan doesn't need a translator to talk to people, Aubrey takes him for the convenience of going out.

The box contains diamonds carefully selected by Huang Xuan, with an average weight between 5 and 5.99 carats, a color grade of E, and a clarity of VVS1 or higher. According to the latest international diamond report, the price should be $ 808,000. The purchase price of Huang Xuan is also around 100,000 US dollars. However, because the weight has exceeded 1 carat, the market price usually has a premium of 5 or more on the guide price.

Aubrey carefully picked one and looked at it. He is not familiar with diamonds, but every international bank manager knows it. Diamonds are different from ordinary jewelry, especially since its establishment in 1934. This legal monopoly industry maintains global prices through the supply of diamonds from the central sales organization. Whether it is in an economic depression or inflation, eBeers have successfully determined their ability to stabilize diamond prices.

In modern banks, diamonds are money. They can endorse international loans, repay debts, trade payments, and buy firearms. Faced with the fragile world economy and constantly depreciating currencies, diamonds are almost omnipotent.

The diamonds under the lights were bright and colorful, and Aubrey carefully put it back in the small box and said, "Does Mr. Huang want to use diamonds to buy bonds?"

"It's not just buying bonds. In fact, I want to use diamonds as a mortgage, I think Citi should not refuse it."

"Of course." Aubrey smiled. Compared to real estate, stocks, and bonds, the stability of diamonds is unmatched, and no bank will refuse such a risk-free loan.

Turning over on the table, Aubrey asked strangely: "These diamonds. Are there any appraisal reports? There is also a Kimberley progress certificate."

"No." Huang Xuan replied without thinking.

Aubrey and the translator change color at the same time, and there is no complete file of diamonds, it is easy to think of a very bad word: "Blood Diamond". But Aubrey certainly can't ask that. He just said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Huang, there is no appraisal report, the bank can't give mortgage as usual."

Diamond is the only gemstone among all rare gemstones that has its value clearly defined internationally. Including its color, clarity, cut, and weight. Among them, the most rigorous and well-known international certification standards include (), (EGL), (), (AGS). Therefore, when people buy diamonds, they must buy certificates attached to these appraisal companies. As a result, diamonds will be easier to sell when needed.

"Not every diamond has an appraisal report." Huang Xuan shrugged and said, "This is part of the property left to me by my family. At that time, there was no such system." The Kimberley system was from the millennium. It started, but it was signed by most countries three years later.

"Did you, or your family, apply for re-registration?"

Huang Xuan spread his hands and said, "Chinese people are very particular about money and I don't know. I think you've known it for so many days in China. Well, you don't need to think about this issue. I only want you to tell me if you are willing Diamond mortgage. "

"Mr. Huang, this question ..." Aubrey started his sticky state again.

Huang Xuanqi asked: "Can it or not?"

Aubrey's lips were dry and he didn't speak after drinking a glass of water. Of course, Huang Xuan knew his thoughts and sat next to him, whispering to him: "Although the diamonds in my hands do not have Kimberley progress certificates, these diamonds are polished diamonds. When did you hear about smuggled diamonds? Was it done by a good turner? "He used smuggled diamonds instead of **** diamonds. Of course, most **** diamonds are rough processed products, but not always.

Of course Mr. White does not know this, so he still cautiously said: "Mr. Huang, I cannot decide such a big thing."

Huang Xuan nodded helplessly, it seemed that he was anxiously, so he smiled and said: "So put the diamond aside first, I still have a batch of oil paintings on my hand, especially the belongings of the original Russian royal family, these things can be Without a certificate, the same rules apply to mortgages. "

"It's okay." Aubrey promised this time much lighter.

Huang Xuan took a breath. According to Lorraine ’s calculations, it ’s no problem to bring back more than $ 1.2 billion this time ~ www.readwn.com ~ But it ’s very troublesome to get a shot quickly, but it ’s better to direct a loan The value of the original diamond is the most certain, and the larger the diamond, the higher the value, but the loss of transportation energy will not increase much, but now it seems that it is more convenient to estimate the artwork.

He stood up and said, "I think I will go to the United States in the past two days, so please trouble Mr. Aubrey and Mr. Steele." Steele is the president of Pfizer.

Aubrey understood that Huang Xuan meant to ask him to complete the loan within two days. He nodded heavily: "We have a good relationship with Sotheby. I will negotiate with the headquarter when I go back, preferably Sousse. Bi and Citi jointly appraised. "He is responsible for most of Huang Xuan ’s asset management. He naturally understands that if Huang Xuan needs to make up 1.2 billion US dollars, he needs to borrow at least another 800 million US dollars. Of it. Fortunately, after Citigroup merged with Traveller Group, the insurance business expanded smoothly, and there was no problem in the identification of artworks.
