Chapter 1605: Diamonds are forever

Jacob's eyes lit up suddenly.
He couldn't help but exclaimed softly: "It's so beautiful!"
In front of his eyes, there is an exquisite necklace. This necklace obviously comes from the handwriting of a highly skilled designer. The whole necklace is made of 18K gold. The chain is inlaid with dozens of excellent clarity and cut. The diamond, under the light of the light, reflects a colorful and charming light. Jacob bet that no woman in this world can resist the charm of this necklace.
And this is not the most attractive place.
At the bottom of this necklace, there is a pendant. This pendant also has a bracket made of 18K gold. The pattern of the bracket is extremely complicated and luxurious, but this is not the point at all. The point is that the one inlaid in the bracket A dazzling diamond!
According to Jacob’s estimation, this diamond is at least 100 carats up. What’s even more rare is that he has observed it carefully with the naked eye and has not found any flaws, that is to say, the clarity of this diamond has at least reached "Internally flawless IF level", it may even reach "flawless FL level"!
Coupled with the almost perfect cut, the value of this diamond alone needs to be at least US$40 million upwards, and with the entire necklace, the total value of this necklace will properly exceed US$50 million!
Even if Jacob was a man, he couldn't help being fascinated by this luxurious and dazzling necklace for a while.
"Eric, this necklace is so beautiful." He admired again: "If you want me to estimate, the value of this necklace is at least 50 million US dollars, but the pendant below is really rare, so I think , If it goes to auction, its value may be higher, um, but Eric, I guess, this should be a gift you plan to give to a certain lady? Then it is priceless."
"Jacob, you really can talk." Tan Zhenhua smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders: "But I have to tell you, I don't intend to give this necklace to anyone, because it is actually not as good as you think. It’s valuable. It’s a sample, or it’s a prop to show its strength, and these shiny stones are not diamonds at all. Oh, it seems that my wording is not very accurate. Well, let’s put it this way, if only Counting this necklace alone, its value is about 60 million US dollars."
Jacob's brows suddenly frowned, thought a little, or shook his head inexplicably, "Eric, I don't understand what you mean?"
"Have you heard of a company called "North Carolina C3 Company"?"
Jacob searched his memory carefully, and found that he knew nothing about the company that Eric called it, so he shook his head in confusion, and then asked, "Is there anything special about this company? ?"
"Yes, it's very special." Tan Zhenhua smiled: "Because I spent 60 million US dollars to buy this company."
"Eric, although I know that 60 million dollars is not too much money for you now, but you are willing to spend so much money to buy such a company... well, I am getting more and more confused Up."
Tan Zhenhua continued to smile and said, "This is a very wonderful story. Well, the story has to be told from a long, long time ago."
"how long?"
"About 50,000 years."
"... Eric!"
"Well, let me make a long story short. About 50,000 years ago, a meteorite came to North America. The place where it fell is now Arizona. The impact of the meteorite formed a 570-foot deep and one-mile crater on the surface. However, in the long years of 50,000 years, this crater did not attract much attention until 1893."
"This year, a Ph.D. of Gaul chemistry went to Diablo Canyon to investigate. By chance, he discovered this crater and found a substance in the crater. At that time, he thought he had found diamonds. , Because this substance has physical properties that are very close to diamonds, but out of the instinct of a chemist, he analyzed this substance, and finally he found that it is a brand-new substance, the chemical composition is silicon carbide , And we all know that diamonds are actually carbon crystals."
Jacob's face gradually became serious. From Tan Zhenhua's description, he smelled an unusual aura--as he knew, the natural conspiracy in front of him made the opening pavement for his conspiracy every time.
"Chemists carefully studied this substance and found that the Mohs hardness of this substance reached 9.25, second only to 10 of diamonds. After being cut and polished, it has a glamorous luster that is not inferior to that of diamonds. Beyond diamonds! Because this substance was discovered on a blue star for the first time, he won the Nobel Prize in 1905, and his name is Henry Mossant. And because this newly discovered substance is extremely rare in nature, It can only be found in extreme environments such as meteorites and mantle rocks. It is rarer than most gems on this blue star. Therefore, the price of this gem was once hyped up very high, and it was also found in the world. Named this new gem-Moissanite."
"Wait a minute, Eric, you just said that this kind of gem is extremely rare in nature, then this necklace in your hand..."
"That's why I bought the "North Carolina C3 Company"." Tan Zhenhua's smile on his face remained unchanged, but what he said made Jacob Russell in the ice cellar: "This company has achieved artificial synthesis. And mass production of Moissan diamonds, the necklace you see now is their product, oh, I was wrong again, that company now belongs to me, so this is an honorary product of our company."
Conspiracy, conspiracy!
At this moment, Jacob deeply realized what is called powerlessness. He knew that this time in Xiangjiang, he had to make a huge concession to Eric, and before he set off, he had discussed everything with the family. Plans, programs, and negotiation strategies are all useless!
Because Eric has a weapon of mass destruction in his hands!
Everyone knows that De Beers is the world’s largest gem-quality rough diamond miner and supplier. The company’s mining volume accounts for more than 60% of the global diamond rough supply. The supply of embryos has formed a monopoly, and this has also brought continuous profits to De Beers.
"Diamonds are forever, and one is forever."
This is the most classic planning case of De Beers. From the beginning of this century, when this ad word was launched, diamonds have captured the sensitive hearts of women yearning for loyal love and have become the most precious gems in the hearts of all women. In terms of reserve abundance, the reserves of diamonds on the Blue Star are very large, huge, and quite large...
Someone once said that diamonds are the biggest marketing scam in the world. Jacob said that this sentence is very correct, but excellent marketing coupled with a monopolistic business model is not the best way for capitalists to earn excess profits?
De Beers belongs to the Rothschild family and is the family's source of profits and cash cows!
In other words, one of the most basic foundations!
Eric Tan, you are trying to dig the roots of the Rothschild family!
