Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

"Listen to me, you might as well buy a better one, even as an investment, you can only make a profit. ￥℉,"

Just as he was hesitating, Cai Yinong directly took out a document and put it in front of his eyes.

"Tan Palace?"

This place is not familiar to him at all, and he went to learn about it recently.

Known as the "No. 1 luxury house in Shanghai", it has already ranked first in China's top ten super luxury houses since 2000, with a limited number of 18 seats worldwide.

Each villa covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters and covers an area of ​​6 mu. It is a luxurious villa located on the west side of Hongqiao Road Xijiao Hotel. The architectural style is modeled on the classic buildings of western countries such as Britain, France, Italy, and Spain. The price is hundreds of millions.

"I've seen this luxury villa, and I heard it's sold out long ago, so why wait until I come to buy it."

"It was impossible before. Recently, there was a public sale of a house, and the owner of the house was the president of McKinsey China."

"How much is the asking price now?"

"I don't know. The opening price in the past few years was 96 million, and now it will at least double. If you are interested, I will go and ask for you."

double?

If the parallel world in the dream is connected to this world, it will at least quadruple in two years.

He is about to sell the diamonds, and he will have a lot of cash in his hands. If he can't spend the money in his hands, it will depreciate. Why not invest it. At that time, I made up my mind, "Please ask Sister Cai for help."

Cai Yinong nodded, started calling, and sent back a message after a while.

The other party listed 186 million yuan. The architectural style is an English manor house type, with a construction area of ​​1,160 square meters, a floor area of ​​2,437 square meters, a garden area of ​​1,500 square meters, and a basement of 450 square meters.

There are extensive private gardens and sunken courtyards outside the building, indoors with constant temperature swimming pools or indoor and outdoor double swimming pools, home theater, gym, spa, auzzi, living room, formal dining room, family room, library, western or Chinese style kitchen, at least 5+ bedroom suites and more.

Judging from the current and future housing prices, it is not too outrageous. If you bargain, it may be even less.

If he wants to find a suitable home for Rengar and J-20,

It would be ideal here. And he has many secrets, and urgently needs a place that can perfectly protect his body. Do you want to buy this place? Hundreds of millions of dollars is almost the biggest expense in his life, but it's quite rich.

Doubts only remained in his mind for a while, and then he dispelled them.

Life is already different, and we can no longer look at problems with the eyes of the past, just once and for all. He clenched his fist fiercely and said, "I want it! Sister Cai, if you can lower the price, I will give you 10 points if you lower the price."

"Do you look like a boss?"

Cai Yinong smiled, "Then for my income, I will help you get whatever you say." She started calling.

...

The next day, he, Cai Yinong and Xia Meng set off for Hong Kong to meet people from Sotheby's auction house.

In the room of the Four Seasons Hotel adjacent to Victoria Bay, two foreigners with white beards were fiddling with professional equipment, magnifying glass, diamond lamp, etc., and were appraising several huge diamonds on the table.

Fabike chatted with them with a courteous face.

The results came out soon, and one of the species experts said in surprise: "The results came out. The quality of these diamonds is very high, which belongs to the rare top level. The special identification certificate will be printed out immediately."

There are four aspects to measure the value of a diamond, the so-called 4, including clarity, color, cut, and size.

After a while, Chen Ergou took the certificate of appraisal, took a look at it, and felt confident. Passing it to Cai Yinong, Xia Meng leaned over to watch it.

Seeing the series of data, the two women couldn't help opening their mouths.

The largest blue diamond is a ypeb diamond with a clarity level of 1 with very few flaws. It is a rare fancy vivid blue diamond and weighs 88.36t.

The symbol of eternity, diamonds have long been a favorite of lovers and jewelry collectors.

There was once the largest fancy vivid blue diamond "Oppenheimer's Blue", weighing 14.62 carats. It was cut into a rectangular shape and matched with a ring, with two smaller diamonds on the side as embellishments.

Auctioned in Geneva, Switzerland, it was finally won by an anonymous collector with 50.6 million Swiss francs and approximately 335 million yuan, breaking the record for the highest single diamond transaction price in history.

Regardless of size or shape, this one is much more precious than that Oppenheimer's blue.

The quality of the remaining six blue diamonds is not much different. They are pan-fancy blue, with a purity level of 1 or 2. The weight is slightly lower, and the smallest is 26.32t. Even rough diamonds, fools know they're worth a fortune.

The nine white diamonds are of different sizes and shapes. The largest white diamond is in the shape of a water drop, 85 carats, with extremely high purity, which can reach the flawless level. At present, the highest auction record in the field of white diamonds in the world is held by a 101-carat pear-shaped diamond, which was sold for US$26.7 million in Geneva the previous spring.

The five yellow diamonds are not inferior. The yellow diamond is also known as the golden diamond. The largest 58.68t square diamond has been identified as a golden yellow color grade, a rare pear shape, and a clarity of 1.

The remaining gold diamonds come in thumb shapes, oval shapes, irregular shapes, and pebble shapes, which are less colorful and equally beautiful and dazzling.

There are also 38 gemstones of various colors, including white agate, Suji red stone, pink chalcedony, tourmaline quartz, law hair crystal, sunstone, smoky quartz, turquoise, etc., which were also identified one by one.

These are not the most precious one in his hand, the most precious one naturally belongs to the deep red and blue star pattern diamond. Chen Ergou named it "Rose Star". The results of the identification were very comprehensive. His original hand measurement was quite accurate. It weighed 252.13 carats, was oval in shape, had a groove on it, shaped like a heart, and was identified as rose crimson in color.

There is a bit of charming blue starlight on the top of the oval side... This is definitely a sign of impurity in the diamond purity appraisal, but sometimes the diamond purity standard is destined to be broken.

Especially when the light-stealing diamond light shines on a point of charming blue starlight, six gradient rays of starlight will spread out from this point of charming blue, making the whole stone look like a little bit of blue in deep red. color stars.

There is a bit of charm blue in the blood red, the red in the red, and the precious in the red... It is so beautiful that everyone can't take their eyes off it. This is extremely rare in diamond circles, or rather... unique in the world.

"Priceless treasure!"

The appraiser left with deep reluctance, but Fabique flushed with excitement, "Mr. Chen, congratulations. I have never seen such a high-quality diamond before. I have met so many top-quality diamonds in my career." Diamonds, what a thrill!"

"I hope you can entrust us to Sotheby's to handle these jewelry auctions. Although the spring auction has passed, our auction house is about to create a special auction of jewelry and diamonds. Your lot will be displayed and promoted as the finale item. "

"We at Sotheby's can hire the top jewelry design masters, make finished products with minimal loss, and then promote them all over the world. With that rose star, I think this auction will definitely attract the attention of the richest people in the world."

Chen Ergou looked at Cai Yinong, and she forced herself to wake up from the excitement of diamonds, coughed dryly and took over the topic: "If Sotheby's is going to hold an auction, where will you put the auction house?"

Fabike rolled his eyes quickly, "With all due respect, according to what I know about Easterners, you prefer jade more. The main market for high-end diamonds is still in the Western world. If the main customers are defined as China and Asia, I'm afraid The desired effect cannot be achieved. My suggestion is to send it to the United States for auction, and after it has been cut and processed by a master, we will conduct a series of exhibitions and publicity for it, so that the world’s rich and media can focus on it.”

"And the origin of these diamonds is also very interesting, a pirate treasure. If they can be exhibited together with other treasure items, maybe it will add a layer of mystery to their value. Then we will cooperate with the hype, and after the final auction At the same time, the price of diamonds will be pushed to the peak in one fell swoop!"

"what do you think?"

Cai Yinong looked at Chen Ergou, such conditions were impeccable.

Chen Ergou squeezed his chin, thought for a while and said, "I don't need to trouble Sotheby's with the design and processing. I have a more suitable choice, which is guaranteed to be world-class cutting and processing."

"I can entrust Sotheby's, you first roughly predict a price, and make a detailed promotion plan."

"If it is auctioned in the United States, I also have to consider issues. American taxes are famous all over the world, so I have to pay a considerable amount of taxes. Is this tax and the price of diamonds the right choice? I have to think carefully about this issue. Yes, except for the diamonds, I want to auction this batch of gems as a whole."

"Your bank's specific auction commission is not ideal. I want to see your sincerity, and you are not the only one who contacted me."

Fabike felt a pang in his heart, and instinctively thought of his company's deadly rival, Christie's.

Such a huge amount of diamond resources is much more valuable than expected. They originally estimated that it would be around 100 million U.S. dollars at most, but now it seems that it is far more than that. The bargaining chip has been out of balance, and the cooperation between the two parties naturally needs to be reconsidered.

Cai Yinong and Xia Meng were responsible for the rest of the negotiation, which was always a bargaining process.

That night, Chen Ergou sank into the system and opened Shenjiangfang for the first time.

He also has a free item design qualification, but this qualification is very rare, and he can design items according to his wishes. But it would not be wise to use this precious prop design qualification to cut diamonds. Should be used in a design from scratch.

Cutting diamonds is just processing, and it is naturally inappropriate to use this qualification.

In addition, popularity points will be consumed. His current popularity value is 780,000, and he is still in a process of accumulation, increasing every day. But the consumption is also quite large, the pet food of Rengar and J-20 alone is not a small number.

He had tested it earlier, and the processing cost of the largest "Rose Star" only needed 50,000 popularity points.

The cost of diamond processing is not expensive, and it is enough to save a little money.

Immediately after returning home, I started to work, clicked on the system panel, clicked into Shenjiangfang, and saw that the operation interface looked like a synthetic interface of a third-rate online game, but it was really bad enough: "Start processing."

There was a sudden buzzing sound in the Divine Craftsman's Workshop, and the light flashed in bursts, more and more like the creation screen of a third-rate online game.

Fortunately, the products produced by the system have never been cheated. It didn't take long for a chain of diamonds to fall out.

Each one is beautiful and perfectly cut.

"Hey, there are still diamond scraps, may I ask if you want to continue forging?"

"Are there still a lot of scraps left? Of course, I will continue. I want to create a string of diamond necklaces."

"Please ask the host to invest in platinum and gold."

This is easy to handle. This is the most indispensable thing in Hong Kong. After he goes out for a trip, he brings back enough dosage.

In the next few days, he pretended to go abroad once, and when he came back, he brought back huge stone statues, gilded ship rudders, and walls of Greek island poems and other large objects and landed them. This was to prepare for bringing these things back to China legally.

At the same time, a batch of processed diamonds was once again presented to Sotheby's diamond experts.

Fabike's eyes lit up, and with a big wave of his hand, several professionals stepped forward to appraise it.

The result of the appraisal was far beyond expectations, "nbelievable!" They were quite critical of Chen Ergou's request to find someone else to process it, and they obviously didn't trust Chen Ergou to find a master diamond cutter. But the business has not been negotiated yet, and he didn't dare to offend Chen Ergou, so he didn't raise any more opinions.

Unexpectedly, in just three days, a complete processed product has been produced. However, the result of this cutting is also the best in the world.

"Perfect cutting, extraordinary skills, and genius creativity. These diamond processing almost preserve the most perfect diamonds and magnify its characteristics infinitely. Whether it is made into necklaces, diamond rings or pure jewelry, all of them are preserved. Infinite imagination. This cutting can at least increase the value of the diamond by 10%. "

Both Cai Yinong and Xia Meng heaved a sigh of relief.

There is no doubt about the next negotiation, Sotheby's gave the green light, the commission rate was reduced to 1.30%, and the initial valuation of this batch of diamonds was around 160 million US dollars.

After signing a series of guarantee contracts, both parties are happy.
