My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key
One hundred and ninety nine skyrocketing prices
Sutra is a famous historical city for grinding and processing diamonds. It has been processing diamonds for nearly a thousand years. This Karabi has been in the diamond business for decades. If you count his ancestors for generations, their family runs the business The business of diamonds has a history of hundreds of years.
But he had never seen such a large rough diamond, and he had only heard of it in legends.
When the rough diamond of the "Mountain of Light" that was forced to be dedicated to the Queen of England was discovered, it weighed only 800 carats. Converting 800 carats into a common unit of measurement, it is 160 grams, which is less than 800 carats. Two taels, about the same weight as the diamond in front of you.
Although I haven't gotten started yet, Calabi has been handing over diamonds for decades. You can estimate how big a diamond is and what weight it is just by looking at it.
Looking at the diamond in front of him at this moment, he couldn't breathe anymore, panting heavily, and his eyeballs began to turn red. This diamond has obviously been polished simply. Although the shape is not regular, it is still a diamond. The oval shape of the egg.
What makes Calabi unable to help himself the most is that the light transmittance of this rough diamond is very important to know whether a diamond is good or bad. This rough diamond has not been specially polished, and even in many places, It still bears the original imprint. If it is processed and polished by his factory, it will definitely be the top one.
Such a large and complete diamond can still have such good quality. This diamond can definitely be said to be the best diamond discovered in recent years, and it can even be said to be the top diamond that Calabi has seen in his career.
“Mr. Xiao, can I have a look?”
Calabi panted heavily and asked Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng nodded with a smile, no problem, and casually pushed the Na Keyuan Diamond in front of Calabi, who almost jumped up and hit someone out of anger seeing his action.
This is a rare top product, are you just so casual? What if it falls to the ground? Although diamonds are the hardest substance in the world, they are very brittle. Smaller ones are fine. Although such a large one will not break when dropped on the ground, if there is a crack, it will be a big loss.
But looking at the diamond in front of him, Calabi couldn't care less about being angry with Xiao Feng. He quickly picked up the diamond, took out the glove magnifying glass from the small box beside him, and began to observe carefully. After a long time, this guy took a long breath and put down the diamond in his hand.
"I didn't see the laser code on the diamond?"
In the modern diamond industry, in order to continue to monopolize the diamond trade and control the price, De Beers, Rio Tinto, and ALROSA have formed an alliance. They will mark each diamond with a laser code to prevent counterfeiting. , anti-theft, and lost diamond jewelry, because of laser barcodes, it is not easy to sell in the second-hand market,
The second is to control the diamond trade. As long as the diamonds on the market do not have laser codes, they will be considered as blood diamonds. Diamonds produced from black mines in Africa or other mining areas are not accepted by the mainstream diamond industry.
If such diamonds appear on the market, practitioners can choose to call the police, thereby blocking the circulation of diamonds produced in other black mines in the market, making it easier for those giants to manipulate the market.
But in the black market, this kind of rough diamond without a barcode is a sought-after object. Because there is no barcode, this kind of diamond is equivalent to having no ID card, and it is not easy to be traced, so it is even more popular with many money laundering organizations. Or drug lords, or the favor of corrupt politicians.
Because such diamonds do not have to worry about being tracked, they have relatively strong liquidity and are very popular on the black market.
The Calabi family has been in the diamond business for hundreds of years. It must not only be legitimate diamond transactions, but also black market transactions. Even the diamonds that are circulated in the black market through his hands are worth tens of millions of dollars every year, but he has never I have seen a rough diamond of such a good condition and such a large size.
Thinking of the possible profits this rough diamond could bring, Calabi couldn't help taking a deep breath, and then looked up at Xiao Feng who was sitting across from him, smiling, and suddenly he felt an urge to eat black.
There is only one Chinese boy, if he is killed, can he swallow this rough diamond?
But when I turned around and thought about it, was it an ordinary person who dared to come to Malat alone to find himself, and take out such a large piece of rough diamond without a laser mark?
Thinking about it again, this person is Liu Jin. Deliuka introduced it, and the little devil that had just emerged in Calabi's heart quickly died down.
Then who is Liu Jin? A once-famous arms dealer who was wanted by the CIA and is still alive and kicking, can he be an ordinary person?
Such a person might be standing behind the Russian mafia. Who is the Russian mafia? Is that a stubble that even the Italian Mafia fears? Now the most ruthless underground force in the United States!
And is this Chinese man really that simple? A rough diamond of such a large size was probably obtained from that mining area in Siberia. Thinking about Liujin and the Russian mafia, there may be some relationship between them.
So Calabi's crooked thoughts that just arose did not last for more than 30 seconds, and immediately died down. Anyway, you can make money by hand, so why bother to poke that hornet's nest.
"Uh, Mr. Xiao, as a reputable businessman, I, Calabi, can say responsibly that your diamond is indeed of top quality. If you want to sell it, at what price do you want to sell it?"
Such a big diamond, as long as it is polished and cut into small pieces, then you can make millions by changing hands. Why bother with those lunatics for a little money? Calabi figured it out soon, so he started to inquire directly.
"My diamond was measured before I came here. It weighs 880 carats and is of top quality. Such a large diamond has not been found in recent years. The most recent one should be in 2015. Lucara Diamond Company The 'Our Light' found in the Karowe Mine in Botswana weighed 1,109 carats and was successfully auctioned in London in 2017 with a transaction price of US$53 million. Mine is not as big as that one, but I This one is a rough diamond, and there is no laser marking, so it should be more popular on the black market, so I think this one should also be worth 53 million U.S. dollars."
Since he was here to buy diamonds, Xiao Feng had of course made preparations early on. During this period of time, he had studied the diamond market thoroughly, so he gave such a price. Of course, the price was obviously on the high side. Just to wait for Calabi to come and bargain.
