With an idea emerging in his mind, Liang Shicheng felt that things might turn for the better.
There should be other ways to maximize the value of this failed diamond.
So he turned on the computer and searched for some information about artificial diamonds.
Although artificial diamonds are much cheaper than natural diamonds, the cost is not low.
The formation of natural diamonds comes from the high temperature and high pressure environment generated by magma in the earth's interior, and comes to the earth's surface with volcanic eruptions.
The production method of artificial diamond is also difficult. First, it needs to be generated in an artificial environment of high temperature and high pressure, and a small natural diamond should be placed in the center as a seed.
The production method of artificial diamond is open to the public, but the actual process is very difficult. The artificial high-temperature and high-pressure environment is not easy to realize. A huge precision instrument is needed to produce this condition only in the smallest space in the center, and the efficiency is very low.
In a word, man-made diamond is a newly rising industry in recent years, which continues to erode part of the market of natural diamonds.
But man-made diamonds still have many bottlenecks that cannot be broken through. First, man-made high-temperature and high-pressure environment can not be compared with the earth's interior.
Therefore, artificial diamond is not perfect. Its molecular structure is not the complete octahedral structure of natural diamond, and the arrangement is more irregular, resulting in phosphorescence, which can be easily distinguished by professionals.
Moreover, the technology of artificial diamonds can not synthesize larger diamonds. At present, it can only synthesize small diamonds of about 2 carats. In addition, there is always a certain gap between artificial diamonds and natural diamonds. At present, artificial diamonds can only occupy the low-end market and can not cause a fatal blow to traditional natural diamond companies for the time being.
After learning a little about the method of identifying the quality of diamonds, Liang Shicheng took out the amber diamond original stone inlaid with screws and button batteries in his hand. After comparison in some details, he found that the quality of the diamond original stone in his hand was still close to natural diamonds, so he was more confident about the bold idea in his mind.
De Beers is the world's largest natural diamond company with a market value of about $300 billion.
Thinking of this, Liang Shicheng searched an email contact information of De Beers company, and then began to write an email.
[dear De Beers
We are a technology company from China. The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you of a message.
It's about a new technological breakthrough of our company, and it may also be about your destiny.
Now our company has developed a new technology for producing artificial diamonds, which is completely different from that on the market.
This technology can produce artificial diamonds without high temperature and high pressure, and does not need to implant natural diamond seeds in the production process, and the cost is very low.
It can also produce large 250 carat artificial diamonds. Not only that, the quality is almost the same as that of natural diamonds.
This technology is still in the experimental stage. At present, it is strictly confidential. We only choose to quietly disclose it to you, and then hope to discuss the next development together.
In order to show our sincerity, we also specially prepared a sample for you, but you can rest assured that we will never pretend to be a natural diamond, so we produced a sample of an artificial diamond inlaid with screws and button batteries.
To prove that this diamond sample is indeed artificially produced in this era. The most central position is a button battery. At the same time, it also proves that we have not implanted diamond seeds like the traditional production method. In short, our technology is brand-new.
In addition, the button battery and small screws completely wrapped in the diamond sample are intact, without deformation and melting, which is enough to prove that we use a production method at normal temperature and pressure.

After writing the email, Liang Shicheng opened Google translation and used software to convert the content of the letter from Chinese to English. This is an easy way. Although he often browses foreign websites, Liang Shicheng's English level belongs to the degree that it is easy to read articles but not easy to write.
Then he took out his mobile phone and put the amber diamond in his hand on a piece of white paper. He took two photos from different angles and uploaded the photos to the email. Finally, he sent them together with the content and waited for a reply.
Liang Shicheng turned off his computer and felt nervous. The real purpose of this email was to blackmail De Beers.
There are some things that need not be stated clearly, and the other party can understand. If De Beers ignores or refuses to negotiate, he will announce this super artificial diamond to the whole society, leading to the disillusionment of the myth of rare diamonds.
Although in reality, there is no so-called technology company behind Liang Shicheng. He is just an ordinary social animal. He only has the original diamond full of impurities due to the wrong transmission failure exchanged from the system.
But those photos alone should attract the great attention of Debir company. Liang Shicheng also found a news. As the world's largest natural diamond company, debiers is currently spending a lot of money to buy companies that have outstanding performance in the field of artificial diamonds. In a sense, this is a preventive measure.
So De Beers should be quite interested in the progress of other artificial diamond companies.
After sending the email, it was already the second midnight. Liang Shicheng hurriedly ate a right Zuo PI clone. With a worried mood, he quickly fell into a dream fragrance.
The next day, I woke up early and went to work as usual. At this time, the company has returned to the lifeless state. When I saw Liang Shicheng enter the office building, everyone deliberately showed a look of serious work.
Liang Shicheng came to his office and turned on the computer. Then he saw the email reply. The content was in English. He could directly understand the general meaning.

After reading the contents of the letter, Liang Shicheng continued to discuss other matters with the staff of the other party through e-mail. De Beers seemed very anxious and hoped to meet as soon as possible to avoid any problems.
After all, Liang Shicheng's fictional company now has the power to kill De Beers. I'm afraid the whole board of directors is worried at the moment.
Liang Shicheng said that he planned to delay a little time on the ground that it would take a long time to apply for a visa locally. Finally, they decided that De Beers would be responsible for the whole process of travel and accommodation.
And send a representative to meet under a landmark building in mordu, and his company will send a representative to reach this position on time.
After discussing with De Beers in the mailbox, Liang Shicheng got up and came to his immediate superior and submitted a one week leave slip on the condition that a large amount of money would be deducted from his salary.
Then he simply arranged the next tasks for his employees, invited a good friend to be the shift leader, went home to pack up and set out.
