Hearing the conversation between Morgan and the appraiser, Gao Yang had some bad ideas, because what he didn't take out and the big diamond lying in his pocket was the guarantee for him to make a fortune.
But the problem is that the treasures Gao Yang uses to press the bottom of the box are colored diamonds. If colored diamonds are not worth money, the problem will be big.
It's related to a large amount of income. Gao Yang couldn't help but be anxious. When he sank, he said, "no, please wait, Mr. James, you just said that diamonds without color are valuable? Then, are colored diamonds worthless? Such as pink or black?"
James said with a smile: "no, no, color diamonds are more valuable. By colorless diamonds, I mean purity. Transparent diamonds are more valuable if they are not variegated. For example, low-level diamonds will show variegated colors such as brown or gray, and color diamonds also look at purity. Colored diamonds are much more expensive than colorless diamonds of the same level."
Knowing that the colored diamond was more valuable than the colorless diamond, Gao Yang was relieved. At the same time, his mood became better. He smiled and said, "good, I have no problem. Please start."
James took out a small electronic magnifying glass, looked at the diamond carefully for a while, looked up strangely and said: "The quality is very, very good. I don't mind between the highest level and the next level, and it's still so large. The buyer won't have much opinion on the original diamond counted as the highest level. This diamond is worth $500000 before grinding, at least that."
Gao Yang and Morgan looked at each other and nodded gently. Then Gao Yang smiled and said, "I like to hear good news. Please continue, Mr. James. I hope this batch of diamonds have the same level."
The remaining diamonds are not too big. The largest one is the size of soybeans. After cutting and polishing, it is the volume suitable for making diamond rings. James put the identified diamonds aside, picked out the largest one from the remaining diamonds and continued to identify it.
Identifying the grade of diamonds is not just a glance, but James is very slow at the beginning. The faster he gets later, the faster he gets later.
After James looked at all the diamonds, he raised his head and said to Morgan: "Sir, there are seven diamonds that can reach the fl level, that is, the highest level, and 36 diamonds that reach the if level, which is the next level. All the rest belong to the third level. The classification standard I mentioned just now belongs to the bare diamond after grinding. It is not very suitable for the original diamond, but it is also possible to use the bare diamond standard for your understanding 。”
Gao Yang nodded and said, "thank you, Mr. James. It's like this. If these diamonds come from the same mining area, can you think so? Your appraisal results prove that all the diamonds produced in that diamond mine are of high quality."
James hesitated and said: "Sir, I'm just a gem appraiser, not a geologist. Your problems are beyond my scope of work. However, from my personal experience, I personally think you can understand that as long as the identified diamonds are not specially selected high-quality raw diamonds, I personally think the mining area producing these diamonds can be regarded as a super high-quality mining area."
Gao Yang was very satisfied, but Morgan frowned and said, "I don't know much. Does the origin and grade of diamonds have a great relationship?"
James said with a smile: "yes, sir, it matters a lot. Now the largest diamond producing areas are actually Australia and Russia, but the diamonds produced in Australia can't be called gem grade at all, and the value is very low. So, when we talk about the largest diamond producing area, we all think it is South Africa, because South Africa is the largest producing area of gem grade diamonds."
Morgan nodded and said, "very good. Thank you for your professional opinion, Mr. James."
Morgan was ordered to leave. James stood up, shook hands with Morgan and Gao Yang, and left the room under the leadership of Nelson.
Gao Yang wanted James to help him see the diamond, but he was worried, so he didn't take it out directly. After James left, Gao Yang whispered, "where did you find this expert? The most important thing is whether he is reliable?"
Morgan said with a smile, "of course, it's still necessary to ask. If it's not reliable, how can I bring him to South Sudan?"
Gao Yang nodded and said, "well, he has to help me identify it again, because I didn't intend to let him see the real good things."
Morgan said in surprise, "man, do you have anything better?"
Gao Yang smiled, took out the largest red diamond from his pocket and pinched it in his palm. Then he put his hand on the glass round table, slowly released his hand and let the diamond appear in front of Morgan.
Looking at the huge diamond on the round table, Morgan held his breath. His eyes were almost staring out. After swallowing hard, he trembled and said, "God, this is God's masterpiece. It's so beautiful that people are intoxicated. Can I take it up and have a look?"
"Of course, please feel free to look."
Morgan took the diamond in his hand and looked at the sunset at the window.
The diamond presents a gorgeous rose red, but if it is blood red, it seems more appropriate. Under the setting sun, the sun left a gorgeous red light on Morgan's face after the refraction of the diamond.
"It's so beautiful! I can't breathe!"
After a stunned sentence, Morgan looked at Gao Yang. Then he solemnly put the diamond back on the round table and stretched out his hand to Gao Yang.
Gao Yang didn't know what Morgan meant, but he still held his hand with Morgan. When shaking hands, Morgan said seriously: "Congratulations, Gao, congratulations on stepping into the ranks of billionaires. With this diamond, you can retire ahead of time."
Gao Yang smiled and said, "I also think this diamond is worth at least more than 100 million. I hope this diamond can make me a billionaire as you said."
Morgan swallowed his saliva and said, "this diamond is magical and can absorb people's soul. I'm not interested in gemstones, but looking at this diamond, I can't move my eyes. It's amazing and beautiful. It's the most moving thing in the world."
Gao Yang threw his mouth and said, "it's not easy to get this diamond. I almost died. Indeed, as you said, I couldn't move my eyes when looking at this thing. When I looked at it carefully for the first time, I wasted a lot of effort to move my eyes."
Morgan said anxiously, "call James to see how much it is worth. Think about it. If we can find one, there will be a second and a third. If we mine diamonds, even if we find two such diamonds, no, even if there is only one, the mine is worth opening."
Gao Yang stretched out his hand and said, "no, wait, it's different from what you think. The origin of this diamond, um, how to say, have you heard of the star of hope? The most famous blue diamond."
Morgan nodded and said: "Yes, I've heard of the star of hope. Although I'm not very clear, I remember it was a French explorer who stole the diamond from a statue in a temple in India. The Explorer ended badly. After his death, the star of hope gave it to Louis XIV. When Louis XIV died, he gave it to Louis XV Then came Louis XVI. In short, every king of France who got the star of hope ended badly, then the banker, and then... I can't remember clearly. In short, everyone who got the star of hope ended badly. The star of hope became a curse star. The tragedy didn't come to an end until its last owner, an American, donated the star of hope to the Smith Institute 。”
Gao Yang sighed and said, "you should understand why I ask you if you know the star of hope?"
Morgan opened his mouth and said, "did you get this diamond from the statue?"
Gao Yang said with a wry smile: "yes, the eyes of a God, so I think it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible."
Morgan was surprised. When he looked at the red diamond again, his eyes were no longer as hot as before, but more vigilant.
After looking at the diamond carefully, Morgan whispered: "Don't tell anyone about the source of the diamond. Don't tell anyone. With the star of hope, it's not a legendary precedent. People will no longer be willing to buy the diamond from the statue. Even if the diamond is really beautiful, hell, just now I thought I would buy it as a family heirloom no matter how much money I spent. Now I've changed my mind."
Gao Yang said with a wry smile: "yes, I originally planned to pass it on as an heirloom from generation to generation, but after I remembered that the star of hope was once the eye of a God, well, I immediately gave up the idea. I had to sell it as soon as possible, even if the price was lower."
Morgan nodded and said, "the right choice. Well, let's find out how much it's worth first."
After that, Morgan said loudly, "Nelson, please ask Mr. James to come again."
Gao Yang put the diamond away first. When James came in again and Nelson went out and closed the door, Gao Yang slowly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. James, please ensure that you will keep the things you see strictly confidential and don't talk to anyone."
James smiled and said, "Sir, this is necessary."
Gao Yang nodded, put the red diamond on the round table and whispered, "please see."
James was completely stunned and looked at the diamond on the table. He said in a daze: "this is, is this false? I can't believe there is such a perfect thing in the world. It's red, perfect red. Compared with this diamond, museyev's red diamond is a glass bead. My reason makes me unable to believe my eyes!"
