Chapter 814 Diamond Trading Next

The lowest starting price of several diamonds referred to by Zhuang Rui is more than 500,000 US dollars, including the pink diamond worth 15 million US dollars and a diamond weighing 48 carats.

William estimated the price in his heart. The diamond that Zhuang Rui wanted to see was almost more than 50 million US dollars.

In fact, Zhuang Rui is not very interested in the $15 million pink diamond, because the final bottom of such a diamond will definitely be more than $30 million.

Zhuang Rui now has only more than 40 million euros left, which is about 50 to 60 million yuan in US dollars. If he buys this pink diamond, he will have no money to buy other high-quality diamonds.

However, since he has come to South Africa, Zhuang Rui naturally wants to see the best diamond raw stone that has not yet been processed.

"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, please take a moment. I'll bring these diamonds for you right away..."

William wrote down more than 40 loose diamonds of more than five carats selected by Zhuang Rui, as well as the numbers of the six or seven best diamonds, and then hurried out of the office to prepare the diamonds for Zhuang Rui to inspect the goods.

But Zhuang Rui waited for a long time." More than 20 minutes later, William walked into the office with an apologetic face and said, "Mr. Zhuang, I'm really sorry." Because you didn't make an appointment in advance." These diamonds are now being inspected, and we need to wait a little longer..."

According to the regulations of the exchange, they will arrange everyone's viewing time according to the application submitted by the licensee. Zhuang Rui intervened and naturally disrupted their arrangement, so it is normal for this to happen.

"It's okay, Mr. William, please arrange it as soon as possible..."

Zhuang Rui knew the rules and waved his hand to show that he didn't care. As the largest diamond trading place in the world and the annual diamond trade fair, of course, people who watch the goods are indispensable.

"Sttain, sure..."

After William went out with a package ticket, Zhuang Rui waited for more than half an hour, except for a white girl with freckles on her face who came in and poured him a glass of water. "William never appeared again.

Zhuang Rui and others were a little anxious. When he stood up and opened the door of the office and was ready to ask, he happened to see William coming out of the other room side by side with a square metal box in his hand, two black men and a yellow-skinned Arab.

After a few of them, there are two white men with submachine guns, compared with security guards on the exchange.

At the front is an Arab, who looks like he is in his early thirties. His hair is very short and he wears colorful clothes, which is in great contrast to the suit and leather shoes in the diamond exchange.

A black man behind the Arab youth walked out and pointed at William with an unhappy face, and William's attitude made Zhuang Rui feel very strange. Unexpectedly, he nodded repeatedly and kept saying sorry.

You know, in the country of South Africa, although black people are in power, the status of black people is still very low. The economy and energy arteries of the whole country are in the hands of white people. It can also be said that the whole of South Africa is working for Western countries.

White people have many privileges in South Africa, which are left over from the colonial era. "Although Mandela abolished most of the white privileges after taking office, the status of white people in South Africa is still very high." They always look at black people with their nostrils.

William is so respectful to a black young man." And this black man should be just a servant of the Arab young man, and he couldn't help but let Zhuang Rui look at the Arab a few more times.

After sending a few people to the door of the exchange," William wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then turned to Zhuang Rui with the box.

But the Arab did not go out of the exchange." When he saw Sheng Lian walking towards Zhuang Rui, he suddenly grinned at Zhuang Rui, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Although Zhuang Rui didn't know this person, he still smiled politely, but what made him angry was that after laughing, the Arab suddenly raised his right hand, opened his thumb and index finger "in the shape of a pistol, shooting at his temple".

"I'm paralyzed, I'm sick..."

When Zhuang Rui saw the man's movements, he was stunned for a moment, and then became angry. Looking at the man's behavior and the bad look in his eyes, he was not joking with himself.

...LLc..."

Arabs are rich, but they can't make such an insult to themselves. Zhuang Rui opened his mouth, cursed an English sentence with his mouth, then crossed his palm and scratched his throat.

Although Zhuang Rui doesn't want to cause trouble, he is not afraid of trouble. At worst, he won't participate in the trade fair. It's better to pat his buttocks and go back to China. He doesn't believe that this person can do something about himself?

After seeing Zhuang Rui's behavior, the Arab was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his face showed anger. He raised his thumb at Zhuang Rui, and then turned his head slightly and said a few words to the black people around him.

"Zhuang, oh, my God, Mr. Zhuang, please come in, come in quickly,"

William was still a little puzzled when he began to see Zhuang Rui make this move. However, as he looked back and saw the Arab young man, his face suddenly showed panic and pulled Zhuang Rui and pushed him into the room.

Two armed security guards also followed up the room. Their responsibility was to ensure the safety of the goods during the inspection of the customer and turn a blind eye to the silent conflict just now.

"Oh, my God, Mr. Zhuang, how can you offend that person? After entering the room," Sheng Lian's face was still a little ugly and said, "Zhuang, you have to be careful." That man is a villain, and he will definitely trouble you,"

"Mr. William, he provoked me first. He just fired a shot at me..."

To be honest, Zhuang Rui is also depressed. Who did the buddy provoke? That guy threatened himself for no reason. Is it possible that he has to lie on the ground to cooperate with him?

However, it can scare William like this. It seems that the Arab seems to be a lot of people.

William sighed and said, "Well, you shouldn't go out of the room, so he doesn't know who wants to see the goods. Zhuang, you don't know much about diamond trading..."

The reason why the diamond exchange auctions separately does not allow traders to meet each other is to ensure the privacy of customers to the greatest extent.

You know, diamond trading is often over hundreds of millions, and many criminal groups are thinking about it. Once the wind leaks out, I'm afraid it may not be safe to stay in the police * police station.

"William, tell me who that person is, right?" William knows what Zhuang Rui said, "But he is not a fairy. He knows that he met William and the guests and came out of another room as soon as he went out? Now what Zhuang Rui cares about is the Arab who is malicious to himself. Who is he?

"He is the general of Lebiya," William said.

"General, so young..."

Zhuang Rui saw that the man was only in his early thirties, but he was actually a general. He couldn't help but be a little curious.

"God, he is Kaddafi's son!"

William was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui's interruption, and then said, "Do you know who Gaddafi is? Do you know what kind of power that person has in Africa and the Arab world? Young man "You shouldn't provoke him..."

Hearing the name of Gaddafi, Zhuang Rui's face finally feasted. Although he didn't ask about politics, he happened to read a book written by the famous journalist Donald Duck. It was some documentary about the interview with Gaddafi.

Gaddafi is a controversial figure, and the world's evaluation of him is mixed. In the eyes of some people, he is the "great savior", "national hero..." and "revolutionary leader", while in the eyes of others, he is "madman", "madman", "terrorist support...".

But both his supporters and opponents have to admit the fact that Gaddafi, a country with a population of about six million, has been lifted out of poverty. In one year, the per capita national income of Lebiya has reached the richest country in Africa.

Even after many years of economic sanctions from the West, Libija is one of the richest regions in Africa, with its citizens enjoying compulsory education and a perfect medical system.

Kaddafi came to power through a coup. After coming to power, he immediately expelled the Western forces in the country and implemented a dictatorship. It can be said that in Lebja, "Kaddafi is the only God and is respected by many small African countries.

Such a person who has been hated by Britain, the United States and other Western countries for decades actually lives a happy life. People can't but admire his strength, but it is not a pleasant thing for Zhuang Rui to mess with his son in Africa.

Gaddafi's seven sons, women, have been involved in many industries such as domestic oil, gas, hotels, media, circulation, communications, social infrastructure, etc.

Libya's proven oil reserves are about 43 billion barrels, and the proven reserves of natural gas have reached 1.48 trillion cubic meters. Only by the export of oil and natural gas, Gaddafi's children have made a lot of money.

Every year, tens of billions of dollars flow into the pockets of Gaddafi's children. It is speculated that the capital Lia's overseas investment is also owned by them, with a scale of about 70 billion US dollars. Gaddafi's children have also purchased a large number of properties overseas.

The person Zhuang Rui saw was Muta, the youngest son of Kaddafi. This guy is restless and cruel. Relying on Kaddafi's power, he did all kinds of evil in Libija. He was once accused of beating his entourage during his time in Switzerland and was guarded by the Swiss police. "Band..."

"Zhuang, I suggest you leave here after the bid is opened tomorrow, so that Muta can't do anything to you..."

After introducing Muta's character to Zhuang Rui, William kindly persuaded Zhuang Rui that "He has worked here for five or six years, and knows the lawless deeds of the children of these African dictatorships." Even if Muta killed people in South Africa, he still has diplomatic immunity.

"Thank you, William, I will seriously consider your suggestion,"

I'm paralyzed, this Muta is the whole princely party of Libijah? Zhuang Rui is a little depressed. If you talk about it, you can also be regarded as the third generation of officials in China, right? Why haven't you enjoyed the treatment like them?

But Zhuang Rui is not afraid of Muta. After opening the bid tomorrow afternoon, he will pat his buttocks and leave in the evening. Anyway, when he goes back, he doesn't pass through Libia's airspace. No matter how capable that guy is, he can't send fighter planes over other countries to shoot himself down, can he?

Besides, it's only one day before the bid was opened. I'm afraid that Muta hasn't found out his origin, and Zhuang Rui is already on his way home.

"Zhuang, as a friend, I still hope you can pay attention to safety..."

William was a little disapproved when he saw Zhuang Rui, and sighed secretly in his heart. "He knew that Muta was very small-hearted and would repay him.

Once there was a Western journalist who reported some negative news about Muta in the newspaper, and Muta hired a killer to kill the reporter in the street, which once caused an uproar in Western countries.

However, because Gaddafi has never been a bird to Western countries, the matter was finally settled, but Muta would no longer dare to go to Western countries, otherwise he would be accused.

Muta, who has been nestled in Africa and Arab countries, has been idle or bored in recent years. He actually started a diamond business. With his strong financial resources and his father's reputation in Africa, he has monopolized diamond stones in many countries.

Of course, the domestic forces in South Africa are complex. Muta does not have the ability to monopolize the diamond business in South Africa.

"Thank you. Let's look at the diamonds first..."

Zhuang Rui doesn't want to be entangled in this matter. Even if he is afraid of him, can't he leave tomorrow?

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, William took out a magnetic key and inserted it into a hole in the metal box on the table, and a security guard behind him also took out a key and inserted it into another keyhole.

After William and the security guard twisted the key at the same time, there was a "pop" sound at the nose of the metal box, and the lid of the metal box moved up slightly.

William got out of his body and faced the metal box in front of Zhuang Rui." He said, "Mr. Zhuang, here is the diamond you need to inspect, but you only have 30 minutes to inspect the goods." Because there is still an appointment below, which is the longest time I can arrange......"

"I think 30 minutes should be enough..."

After Zhuang Rui opened the metal box, he found that the metal box was a small drawer-like lattice that could be folded. As the lid of the box was lifted, six lattice drawers made of black metal appeared in front of Zhuang Rui.

There is a note on each lattice, which marks the bottom price of the diamonds in the box in Arabic numerals.

At the top of the box, there is also a high-power magnifying glass and a clip, which is a tool provided by the exchange to customers to check diamonds. Of course, customers can also carry their own tools.

Zhuang Rui came in a hurry today and didn't bring anything." Then he picked up the magnifying glass and opened the top grid. "Is this the original diamond stone?" In the first floor of the drawer, there are eighteen raw stones weighing more than ten carats, which is different from the diamond finished products that Zhuang Rui has seen before. These Although the raw stone is also crystal clear, it does not have the luster of the processed diamond, and it has not been cut, and the shape of the diamond is also extremely irregular.

"Mr. Zhuang, these are all flawless D-level diamonds, with a purity of WSI level. I believe they can satisfy you..." William introduced to Zhuang Rui next to him.

"Well, let me take a look first..."

Zhuang Rui picked up a raw stone only the size of a soybean grain with a clip, took it in front of him, and looked it carefully with a magnifying glass. From the surface, "This raw stone does not have any flaws, and the gloss is also very good.

After Zhuang Rui separated a reiki and entered the diamond, he suddenly felt a cold breath. He had checked the diamond with reiki before and knew that it was the unique breath of the diamond.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. After reading the first diamond, Zhuang Rui swept the pulled out box with Reiki, carefully distinguished the strength of the Reiki contained in these diamonds, and then plucked out twelve with a clip. These twelve original stones are relatively stronger than Reiki.

Zhuang Rui pretended to check the twelve original stones, took out the quotation, filled in his own auction price, sealed it and gave it to William. William took out a small black bag, put the diamonds in it, and put them back in the box.

In the grids below, the number of diamonds is not so much. There are only three diamonds in the second layer. The bottom auction price is more than 500,000 US dollars. In the lower layers, there is a diamond, and in the bottom box, there is the colored diamond.

The weight of this diamond is 78.2 carats, and the whole diamond is pink. Even if it is not opened and polished, it emits a bright pink luster, as if there is a halo outside the diamond, which is very beautiful.

Of course, the price of beauty is that the bottom auction price of this pink diamond is as high as 15 million US dollars. After looking at it for a long time, Zhuang Rui finally shook his head and gave up, because the diamonds in the upper drawers had made Zhuang Rui consume all the money he brought this time.

In order to successfully win the bid tomorrow and leave this damn place, Zhuang Rui's quotation is 30% higher than the market price. If there is no accident, he should be able to take down those diamonds other than this pink diamond.

If Zhuang Rui had the patience to wait for another week or two, maybe he could spend nearly 10 million euros less to buy the same diamond. However, after yesterday's events, he saw the Arrogance of the African Crown Princes today. Zhuang Rui would rather spend more money and want to leave Africa as soon as possible.

"Mr. Zhuang" hopes that you can win the bid smoothly tomorrow. I still have customers who need to be entertained, so I will send the core here..."

After Zhuang Rui completed all the bid orders, William re-locked the box and sent Zhuang Rui to the door of the exchange. According to the regulations, customers who have bid and inspected are not allowed to stay too much in the exchange.
