Luxury Goods: From Handicraft Workshops To Domination Of The World

Precipitation furnace workshop.

Hearing that the first furnace of diamonds is about to start, many workers gathered here.

"look forward to."

"I don't know how big a diamond can be produced!"

"Haha, it's best to have a few pigeon eggs!"

"With such a large precipitation furnace, the diamond must be too small.

"looking forward to..."

"The first furnace, I hope you don't blow up all of them..."

"Crow mouth!"

The workers looked excited and looked forward to it.

"I told everyone, don't get too excited, this is just the first batch of diamonds, a hundred embryos, if you can burn a few, you will be considered a success.

"Beware that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!"

Factory Manager Huang maintained order.

Say so.

But in my heart, I feel distressed. With a large furnace of one thousand cubic meters and the most advanced technology, Academician Zhong personally operated the knife. It would be a bit unreasonable not to have a few pigeon eggs!

Red pigeon eggs, just thinking about it is beautiful!

After a while.

Gu Bai took the lead, Aunt Liu and Academician Zhong followed, and a group of people killed them.

"All right."

"Open the furnace and arrange for workers to pick up the diamonds.

Gu Bai "Eight Thirty" made a start gesture.

Zizizi~

The hydraulic gate of the huge metal-style precipitation furnace opened slowly, and a thick white smoke came out.

Everyone, immediately put on a gas mask.

Two workers, in biohazard suits, went through the gate and into the furnace to manually remove the diamonds.

This is the first firing.

Only a hundred embryos were put in, and each embryo has an average growth space of 10 cubic meters, which can be said to be quite spacious.

"The first diamonds were taken out."

The first worker returned quickly and took out 10 embryo bases, each of which had a mass of black matter.

It's nothing else.

It's graphite!

The chemical composition of diamond and graphite is carbon, which is the difference in the arrangement of atoms.

"10 carbons?"

Academician Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Both diamond and graphite are carbon, but the price is very different. Diamond is a luxury product, and graphite can only be used as a pencil lead. One in the first batch equals all failure.

"Take the second batch."

Gu Bai didn't care.

Many people think that diamond production is just like in the game, dragging raw materials into the equipment and synthesizing them with one click.

But in reality, it's not that easy. Even if the first batch failed, Gu Bai would not be surprised.

soon.

The second batch of ten diamonds was taken out.

Bling Bling~

An incomparably gorgeous red light lit up, like a blood-colored setting sun, and like a blood-colored flower in the dawn, piercing into everyone's eyes instantly.

Red like blood, radiant, eye-catching, glamorous and indescribable!

"Pigeon blood!"

Gu Bai stared.

One of the rough stones was locked, without any polishing, the color is as bright red as pigeon blood, and the fire is very beautiful.

well known.

For colored diamonds, color grade is very important.

From shallow to deep.

Primary is divided into: Faint, Very-light, and Light.

The intermediate level is divided into: light color (Fancy-light), medium color (Fancy), dark color (Fancy-dark).

Advanced is divided into: Fancy-intense, Fancy-deep, Fancy-vivid.

Red as blood.

This definitely reaches the highest level, color.

The legendary pigeon blood.

It refers to the precious blood-colored ruby, but the luster of diamonds is incomparable to rubies. Red diamonds are pigeon blood, this is the top gem!

Weigh it in your hand, probably, about 8 carats.

After cutting, it can have about 5 carats.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Women naturally have no resistance to Bao Shi.

Aunt Liu stretched out her small hand, grabbed the pigeon's blood, hugged it in her arms, and couldn't put it down. She looked at Gu Bai with her eyes like silk.

It seems to be saying, give me the gem, and I will let you handle it...

"It finally succeeded. This color is really beautiful."

Academician Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. As an academician who lives in poverty, he has to admit that pigeon blood is indeed beautiful.

I also kind of understand why diamonds are so popular.

"nice!"

"Pigeon blood, first time seeing you!"

"This color is really as bright as blood, and I can't move my eyes away.

"If this is a natural diamond, I'm afraid it's worth tens of millions, right?"

"Tens of millions? Can't stop..."

The workers talked a lot.

They are one by one.

They are all man-made diamonds that have been worked for half their lives, but the pigeon blood red diamond is really the first time I have seen it, and it is also an eye-opener.

besides.

Also found a few other pigeon blood, a total of 5, the yield is quite good.

The size is between 1 and 5 carats, and this size is also invincible.

Next few batches.

Yield rate is maintained at around 50%.

Figure it out.

A total of 52 pigeon blood rough stones were harvested, with a total weight of 201 carats and an average weight of 3.86 carats.

At this time, the advantage of a thousand cubic CVD precipitation furnace is reflected, and a diamond is called a big one.

For white diamonds, 10 carats is considered a large diamond.

For colored diamonds, carat is super heavenly!

And among them.

The largest one, the original stone weighed 18 carats.

About 15 carats after cutting.

The first batch of diamonds was a great success. Gu Bai ordered people to process the diamonds in preparation for the next step of cutting.

***

Diamonds are made.

How to make a name.

is a problem.

"Mr. Gu, we can apply for a GIA certificate. With the color grade, carat, and clarity of the pigeon blood of the red diamond, we can definitely get a high score. Then we will be famous!"

Back in the meeting room, Academician Zhong said very optimistically.

"Old Zhong, I'm afraid this will be very difficult..."

Director Huang sighed, and said: "The North American Gemological Institute, to which GIA belongs, is backed by natural diamond giants such as De Beers, Rio Tinto, and Alrosa. They cannot give artificial diamonds a high score of 0."

Synthetic diamonds.

It has always been despised by the market, this is not just talk, it is not recognized by authoritative organizations at all.

"Pity."

"Pigeon's blood red diamond, 15 carats, if it is a natural diamond, I am afraid it can sell for 9 figures!"

Aunt Liu sighed slightly.

The same diamond, man-made, and natural, that's a world of difference in price.

"How about asking celebrities to advertise?"

"Mr. Gu, do you want to sell the red diamond pigeon blood embedded in nails?"

"Yes, let's bundle it!"

"I think we can invite some jewelry masters to let them publicize that our red diamonds are different from ordinary artificial diamonds!"

"Obviously having the best red diamonds, but not being famous, it's really uncomfortable!"

"The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!"

Everyone is talking about it.

It is really uncomfortable to hold the super magenta diamond pigeon's blood in your hand, but suffer from the fact that you can't make a name for it, and you can't sell it for a price.

"Natural diamonds are expensive."

"Synthetic diamonds are cheap.

"This is the result of hundreds of years of marketing by De Beers. The concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be overthrown overnight."

"Red Diamond Pigeon Blood wants to succeed."

"It must be differentiated from general man-made diamonds and differentiated competition."

Gu Bai concluded.

Jian Jia's artificial diamonds, why not artificial diamonds, can be called "space diamonds", "pigeon blood diamonds", "scientific research diamonds" and so on.

After all, there must be a gimmick to distinguish it from those cheap artificial diamonds.

As for what the gimmick is.

Gu Bai generally has an idea, but it still needs to be verified, so he has not disclosed it yet.

"There's a gimmick."

"That's the next step in marketing."

"next week."

"The Hong Kong Jewelery Fair is about to open, and Sotheby's will organize a diamond auction with the highest specifications in Asia.

"We, Jian Jia, will bring the latest red 3.9 diamond pigeon blood to participate in this jewelry exhibition."

Gu Bai said slowly.

Xiangjiang, the base camp of capitalists and the paradise of Asian rich people, in order to meet the consumption of these rich people, the jewelry industry in Xiangjiang is extremely developed, and it is a place for military strategists to contend for.

Xiangjiang Jewelery Fair is held every year, and it can be regarded as one of the highest-level exhibitions in Asia.

Red Diamond Pigeon's Blood.

If you want to make a name for yourself, this jewelry exhibition is the best stage.

"Hong Kong Jewelery Fair?"

"Gu Bai, but in the previous jewelry exhibitions, all natural diamonds participated, and you have never heard of artificial diamonds participating?"

Aunt Liu was a little timid.

Xiangjiang Jewelry Fair, De Beers, Rio Tinto Minerals, Alrosa Diamonds, these world-renowned diamond suppliers will all participate in the super big talk under Chenshi!

Jian Jia brought a batch of artificial diamonds to participate, wouldn't that be a bit too much?

"rest assured!"

Gu Bai couldn't help giving Aunt Liu a speechless look. This woman is really big in every way, but she is a little timid and timid.

He leaned on the back of the chair, spread his hands, and said confidently and calmly: "This time, I will use the red diamond pigeon blood to conquer Xiangjiang.".
