Chapter 808: Lucky Star

James is a little bit off, but Gao Yang understands his feelings very well. There are only two people who can remain calm in front of this red diamond, blind and fool.
James is still mumbling.
"No! I can't believe it is true. I can't accept that there are such perfect red diamonds in the world. You must be planning to tease me, right? Gentlemen, this kind of joke is not funny, please don't make such a joke with me! No, no, please tell me, you are not kidding me, nor are you planning to tease me, please tell me clearly, it is indeed a diamond and not a counterfeit in front of my eyes. "
Morgan smiled: "Mr. James, when I first saw the big thing, I was as surprised as you. Do n’t be surprised. If you ca n’t believe your eyes, take a good look."
James touched his heart and sat back in front of the round table. After taking a deep breath, he just took a look and immediately sighed, "God, it is true!"
After holding the diamond in his hand for a long time, James did not put the diamond under the electronic magnifying glass as before. When Gao Yang was impatient, James finally put the diamond under the electronic magnifying glass.
After watching it carefully for a long time, James raised his head and thought for a moment before sighing: "I am trying to describe this diamond with a more accurate word to express my respect for it. I was surprised and extremely excited. By the way, I can express my concentration. But I failed. I could n’t find a suitable word to describe it. If I had to let me say it. I can only say perfect.

Gao Yang took a deep breath and smiled: "Mr. James, how much do you think it is worth?"
After James waved his hand firmly, he said firmly: "Priceless! There is no price, there is no price that can be used as a reference. This diamond is 10 million. It is 100 million. It is also one billion. If you put it At the auction site, if the buyer happens to be fascinated by this diamond, the price of hundreds of millions of dollars is also normal, but if you want a reasonable reference value. Sorry, I can only tell you not. "
After talking, James thought for a moment, and said: "The grade of colored diamonds is different from colorless diamonds. Common colored diamonds are blue, pink, green, and black, and red, especially this pure red is extremely Uncommon. So far, the biggest red diamond ever auctioned is called Museyev Red Diamond. Have you heard of this name? "
Gao Yang shook his head and said: "No."
Morgan also laughed: "Before today. I never paid attention to diamonds."
James said in a deep voice: "The cut form of the Museyev red diamond is a bright triangle, and the color rating is red diamond. It is a pure red diamond without variegation. It was discovered in Brazil in 1960. The first auction price was Seven million dollars, although Museyev red diamonds are only 5.11 carats. But Musayev red diamonds are the largest red colored diamonds ever.
The weight of the Musaiyev red diamond rough is 13.9 carats. Do you know how heavy this one is? I estimate. At least one hundred and fifty carats! It's 150 carats! And the shape is very regular. If you want to cut and polish, the loss will be very small. I estimate that the weight of the cut bare diamond should be about 100 carats, which is twenty times that of the Musaiev red diamond! "
Gao Yang whispered: "Twenty times seven million dollars? 140 million dollars, well, a lot."
James chuckled and said, "Sir, are you kidding me? First of all, let's not say that the seven million dollars of Musayev's red diamond was the auction price of more than fifty years ago. For example, it is difficult to estimate the current value of Musayev ’s red diamonds, and the owner can freely price as much as he wants to sell, because at international auctions, almost no red diamonds have appeared in recent decades. "
James waved his hands and said helplessly: "In 2010, the auction price of the 24.78-carat Graf pink diamond was 46 million US dollars. The Stan Mets pink diamond found in South Africa weighed 59.5 carats, but it has not yet been auctioned. There is no way to estimate the value, but red diamonds are less and much less pink diamonds, and this red diamond, I think it can be graded with a specific rose red, so I really cannot give an accurate estimate, I only It can be said that the price is in the reasonable range of 200 million US dollars to 1 billion. If the transaction price is less than 500 million US dollars, I will think that its value is underestimated. "
Gao Yang had nothing to say, but Morgan was surprised and said: "Fak, can such a thing sell for 500 million? How to operate?"
James shrugged and said: "First of all, you need to polish, which is for sure. I estimate the insurance cost, plus the processing fee for cutting and polishing, will cost 50 million US dollars."
Gao Yang was almost choked by his own saliva, and then he was shocked and said: "The processing cost is 50 million US dollars? Are you sure you are not talking about lira or Japanese yen?"
James shrugged and said: "Diamond itself is valuable, but it depends more on the polishing process, otherwise, why Antwerp monopolized this industry."
Gao Yang took a breath, Morgan said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I can help you out of the polishing fee, I will lend it to you."
Gao Yang chuckled and said, "Well, thank you, I can sell more anyway, and I will pay you back after I sell it."
James smiled bitterly again, and said: "Sorry, I'm very sorry. In view of the particularity of the diamond industry, I think, maybe you may not get the price you want. This is a monopoly industry. If you just sell the original diamonds, Well, between about US $ 10 million and US $ 50 million, because there is now an Kimberley Process international certificate system for rough diamonds. If your diamonds cannot prove the origin and legality, they cannot be legally traded. "
Morgan said confidently: "I don't think this is a problem, I can find someone to help."
James shook his head and said: "Sir, you have to understand one thing, if this diamond is worth millions or even tens of millions, then you should be able to find someone to help, but if it is worth hundreds of millions, it will appear as soon as it appears It caused a global sensation, unless they can buy the diamond at a low price with a monopoly advantage. Otherwise, they must choose to refuse. One thing I have to point out is that this grade of diamond. Only large companies dare to eat it, even small companies I want to buy this diamond, but whether or not I can get at least hundreds of millions of dollars in cash is a big problem. "
Gao Yangsheng said: "If I pay myself to cut and polish and then sell it, all right?"
James shook his head: "You can polish, no one will refuse this business, but you can't auction, you can only try to trade. If you trade privately, the value will be much lower."
Gao Yang glanced at Morgan. Then he smiled bitterly: "It seems that being a billionaire is not that simple."
Morgan said in a deep voice: "Of course it's not that simple. It wouldn't be too simple to do anything in this world, but I firmly believe that if you work hard, you always have the opportunity to fulfill your wishes."
After looking down for a moment, I pondered. Morgan knocked on the table and said: "High, I have a suggestion to put this diamond for a while, don't rush to shoot, rushing to shoot is too disadvantageous, since we plan to open a regular mine, there is a way to put This diamond is washed white without asking anyone, just wait two years. This diamond can sell hundreds of millions of dollars instead of only tens of millions of dollars, we now lack experience in this industry, if you do n’t want to get stuck in your neck. Can only come slowly. "
If you can simply sell the diamonds, Gao Yang will borrow Morgan ’s money to polish it, and then return the money. However, if you need a very complicated operation and you must have Morgan to come forward, you ca n’t just borrow money. Too. Gao Yang thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, you come to operate. We sell half of the money."
Morgan thought for a while and said: "No, business is business, I am willing to invest in this diamond, but I can't be greedy, so let me come to the cost of cutting and polishing. After the cost is removed, I take the selling price. Ten percent. "
Gao Yang nodded: "Okay, that's it."
At this time James smiled and said: "I venture to interject, if you plan to cut and then sell, you can't really be anxious or anxious, because this diamond needs too many processes to be cut, just design cutting It takes a few months for the shape, plus the cutting time, at least almost a year has passed. Also, cutting diamonds is risky. You must find an insurance company willing to take risks, and negotiate the price. Time, there is a mature operating system in Antwerp, but if you want to cut a diamond with no proven source, then there are many things you need to do, so I can only advise you not to worry, everything will come slowly. "
Gao Yang's face collapsed, and Morgan was also helpless. After shrugging, he pointed to Gao Yang: "Well, it seems that you can only keep it for a while. If you still need me to help you by then, I said it, even if it was n’t needed, because we have a diamond mine, I think you will have enough money to cut it soon. "
Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "I just want to shoot as soon as possible, but now it seems, well, I still keep it."
Then James said with a deep voice: "Does it have a name? This diamond must have a loud name to match it, such as the African star, such as the bright mountain, the bright sea, such as hope ..., oh no, Ignore this name ~ EbookFREE.me ~ So does this diamond have a name? "
Morgan laughed: "As a discoverer, Gao, I think you really should give it a name."
James mentioned the Star of Hope. Although he didn't finish it, he still made Gao Yang feel guilty, but after a moment of thought, Gao Yang said without hesitation: "Lucky Star, I want to call him the Lucky Star."
Morgan nodded and said, "Very well, I think this name is great."
James also laughed: "If you are the discoverer of Lucky Star, then I have to say that you are indeed very, very lucky."
Gao Yang took the Lucky Star in his hand, and after looking at it for a long time, he finally sighed: "I may have to keep it for a long time, I hope it will bring me good luck, no, it must bring me It's far away! "(Unfinished)
ps: This diamond will not be used to sell money at all, it is very useful, otherwise it will not always be written in detail, it is very troublesome to check the information ...
Well, I did n’t want to spoil, but this pit is deeper, so it ’s better to say it, lest you forget ...
