Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Because Liang En gave a gift, Mr. Varma quickly prepared a return gift for Liang En and Joan of Arc, a tie clip inlaid with rubies and a ruby ​​brooch.

Don’t look at Mr. Varma’s current focus on diamond processing, but in fact, as an Indian, they prefer colored gemstones to transparent diamonds.

If you observe carefully in Indian museums or wealthy people's homes, you will find that diamond jewelry are basically brought by outsiders or made after the 19th century.

This is actually a microcosm of the changes in popularity around the world. At least from the time diamonds were discovered until the 19th century, this transparent gemstone was only considered one of ordinary gemstones, and did not have the momentum of today's top gemstones.

If you look for ancient cultural relics and jewelry, you will find that those ancient jewelry are basically inlaid with colored gemstones. As for diamonds, they only appear occasionally and seem to be simply used for color matching.

As for diamonds being touted so highly now, it is purely because De Beers, the diamond company, spent more than a hundred years. Through publicity and other means, the public’s views on diamonds were abruptly changed.

At least according to Liang En’s experience working in the high-end jewelry industry during this period, the fashion trends of high-end jewelry have not changed much, and the classic colored gemstones, such as emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, are still the main focus.

People are accustomed to using colored gemstones such as rubies, sapphires or emeralds as the main stones of jewelry, and then inlaid with a ring of diamonds around them as a foil.

However, doing this is often regarded as old-fashioned. After all, this inlay method is stable, but the same style is difficult to attract everyone's attention.

This is why Liang Enneng suddenly gained appreciation for jewelry design, because he inherited Mucha's approach of taking jewelry design as the core of jewelry, and everything serving this core, and not pursuing the preciousness of raw materials, is exactly in line with Current trends.

Although fashion will change, and a company cannot pin all its hopes on fashion, a master-class design like Liang En's will be widely welcomed no matter what the fashion is.

And this is an important reason why his status in the jewelry company is getting higher and higher now. After all, for such an established company, what is important is not temporary profits, but overall stability.

Because of this level of attention, he was able to come to India on behalf of the company to handle cooperation matters. The reason why he became Mr. Varma's distinguished guest also had an important relationship with his previous display of his design level.

This is especially true for the ring designed before. It perfectly meets Mr. Varma's requirements in this regard, which is why Mr. Varma is so happy now.

After giving small gifts to each other, Mr. Varma talked about the upcoming hunting event, which can be regarded as a regular event for this group of Indian tycoons when facing distinguished guests.

For example, the batch of hunting guns specifically used in India that Liang En found in Bath were for this purpose. During the colonial era, the British colonists would ride on elephants to hunt tigers or leopards.

However, Liang En and the others were not hunting such ferocious beasts this time. Although there were ferocious tigers and leopards in the area, those animals were actually active in the surrounding animal reserves, and Mr. Varma did not have them here.

"Our target is some nasty wild boars." Mr. Varma also looked helpless when talking about the target of this hunting. "You know that my territory is not all plains, there are more than a thousand square kilometers of mountains."

"There are some cash crops grown on those mountains, such as pepper, cinnamon, cloves, etc., which can bring me a lot of income every year."

"But because of these wild boars, we encounter a certain degree of death and injury every year during the harvest season. For example, last year, one person died from a wild boar attack, one person became disabled, and three people were seriously injured and lay in the hospital for several days. months. And those wild boars will also run down the mountain to attack farmers and destroy crops."

"So I organize large-scale hunting several times a year to kill these wild boars. After all, these wild boars destroy a lot of crops every year, not to mention that I am the owner of this land, and it is my obligation to protect the people on this land. ——”

Mr. Varma told the reason for hunting here, and after hearing the last sentence, Joan nodded in approval. As a person who came from that era, she quite accepted Mr. Varma's obvious backwardness today. ideas.

The means of transportation for hunting is still elephants. After all, even if the destination mountainous area is actually just some hills, cars cannot enter. Only elephants can drive straight into such places.

The option of walking into the mountains is definitely not among Mr. Varma's options. Not to mention how dangerous it is to meet a wild boar head-on on the plains, Indian tradition alone does not allow them to do this.

Because in Indian tradition, the practice of being tired and covered in smelly sweat is only done by lower castes. Even their prime minister will be criticized from this perspective when he goes to sweep the streets to promote cleanliness.

So even if they engage in activities such as hunting, the overall look is still elegant and casual, rather than hard work traveling through the jungle with firearms as many people imagine.

Because the target this time was wild boars, everyone prepared high-power rifles. For example, Liang En used a brand-new Kapu equipped with the very popular 0.375-inch H\u0026amp;H Magnum bullet. Reevy shotgun.

This is a center-folding vertical double-barreled shotgun. Although the amount of ammunition that can be loaded at one time is not much at all, it is powerful enough to knock down those large prey with one shot.

As for Joan of Arc and Fan Meng, they both chose the semi-automatic version of the M14. If their marksmanship is better, this weapon is enough to deal with wild boars.

In addition to firearms, Liang En and Joan of Arc also borrowed a set of cold weapons from the mansion. Judging from the strength of their bodies and the level of cold weapon combat, cold weapons would be more useful than firearms if they were attacked by a wild boar.

At least if Joan of Arc has a special hunting spear in hand, even a person standing on the ground can compete with several wild boars, and even kill these prey one by one.

In addition to hunting, Mr. Varma also wanted Liang En to help him see an ancient ruins in the mountains this time, which were only exposed in a landslide after a heavy rain a few weeks ago.

Varma had been reporting to the local archaeological department before, but as a result, the local archaeological department could not spare any manpower to carry out excavation work.

So he had always wanted to see if he could find someone to take a look at what this ruins was, and now Liang En's arrival could help him with this.

"I didn't dare to touch that relic before because I couldn't tell what the relic was." Varma showed a troubled expression.

"You also know that the archaeological department here is really speechless, so I think it would be better to find someone to protect this relic on my land myself. At least I won't need to damage the cultural relics. Take responsibility."
