Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant Chapter 2

  Chapter 2 developed!

An Feng's excitement lasted for several hours, until he was so hungry that he went to make a bowl of instant noodles with boiling water, eat a makeshift meal to fill his stomach, and then turned on the computer with great interest, browsing and diamond prices , appraisal, auction and so on.

   Gained a lot of knowledge, but it also made him calm down. It is not yet possible to tell the authenticity of a diamond—of course, with current technology, it is difficult to create such a perfect and pure stone. The easiest way is to go to the jewelry store tomorrow and spend a few hundred dollars to have an appraisal for a few of the small ones. If it is true, developed! If it's an imitation...at least it's an advanced technology, right?

  An Feng stayed up all night staring at the computer. His eyes couldn't take it anymore, so he lay down on the bed to rest, but the machine brain was still working. He found that he could work while resting. After groping for a way, he turned his attention to the pile of mysterious information, looking for information related to diamonds.

   It is not easy to actually do it. Because he is guarding a pile of treasures, but he has no way to dig them out. It is like a thick encyclopedia. pages of books.

  The knowledge in his mind is more than thousands of pages? Without an index, there was no way to start. He didn't know whether he was looking for a biotechnology or a chemical theory. He didn't know where to start from the next page after reading one page. It was not coherent.

  Happiness, this time turned into trouble. It is difficult for him to sort out this mountain of information with his personal ability. The current method is: find a piece of "garbled code", and then use the machine brain to translate it until the garbled code becomes identifiable information, and then pray to God that this is the content he needs.

  It lasted until the sunrise of the next day, and what he learned was: chaos is not permanent, and the biological computer with cells as the basic unit is constantly dividing and proliferating, one becomes two, two becomes four...geometric growth. When the machine brain is powerful enough, it will translate all garbled characters and sort out the directory.

  Current progress is 1%.

   I took a shower in the morning, changed into a suit specially, and stood in front of the mirror. What I saw was a spirited young man. He has a good figure, tall and strong, probably because he usually pays attention to exercise. He is over 1.8 meters tall, and he has a little bit of temperament in terms of temperament.

  Before departure, I put a few small white diamonds that needed to be identified in my pocket, stopped a car on the side of the road, and went to a famous local commercial street. The city where Anfeng is located is a well-developed second-tier city, where there are many chain jewelry stores.

  I chose a shop with a good reputation on the Internet, went in and told the shopping guide my purpose, and was then taken to the third floor. After paying the fee, I took a number and lined up. The previous waves of people also came to appraise. There are jade and antiques. I exchanged ideas with them, and it was his turn soon.

The appraisal room is just an ordinary office. There are some special magnifying glasses, diamond lights and other professional equipment in the corner cabinet. I hand in the two white diamonds and one pink diamond that I need to appraise. The two appraisers are about forty or fifty. Around the age of 10, he doesn't like to talk.

  After a while of silent research, the door inside the office opened, and a middle-aged man came out of it to join the identification team of these two people. An Feng couldn't understand the technical terms in their mouths, but at least he hadn't heard words like "imitation" and "fake goods" that he didn't want to hear.

Feeling uneasy, he waited restlessly for five minutes, and when the result came out, one of the men said with a smile: "Sir, these diamonds of yours are of very high quality, and they belong to the rare top level. A special appraisal certificate will be issued in the I'll call you back in five minutes."

   After speaking, he handed over a piece of paper, recording the data of the three diamonds. Last night's review worked, at least he won't think that being big means being valuable. There are four aspects to measure the value of a diamond, the so-called 4Cs, including clarity, color, cut, and size.

  He browsed the data of the first diamond, clarity: LC, color: D, cut: very good, weight: 3.2 carats. An Feng was overjoyed. Except for the slightly lower weight, all other aspects had reached the top level. This is extremely rare in diamond circles and has proven its worth.

  The other two are of top quality, the other white diamond weighs 3.3 carats, and the pink diamond has no color grade, but because colored diamonds are rare, the weight of 3 carats is enough to make it stand out from the crowd. After reading the appraisal, An Feng said, "I want to sell it to you."

   "Sir, please wait a moment." Needless to say, the appraiser immediately notified the manager of the jewelry store, and specially took An Feng and his diamonds to a private room, made a cup of good tea, and chatted slowly. The manager asked politely, "Sir, are you really planning to sell these three diamonds?"

"It depends on what price you offer." An Feng said calmly. These are just the three smallest diamonds he picked out. He puts a huge amount of wealth in his pocket. He speaks more confidently, isn't it just three diamonds? The stone at the end of the list is the size of my thumb.

  The manager smiled and said, "Two white diamonds cost three million yuan, and pink diamonds cost three million yuan."

  An Feng also smiled and said: "I checked the price of diamond auctions. Even if you sell two white diamonds for 4 million, you will not lose money. As for the pink diamonds, I don't plan to sell them."

"Three and a half million." How can a businessman not bargain, the manager is an old fritter, and pointed out the shortcomings: "Sir, you know, in the sale of diamonds without invoices and identities, we need to bear the burden." It's not a small risk, so this price is the limit.”

  An Feng naturally knows this. The origin of his diamond is unknown, and there is no invoice at all. Maybe it is a blood diamond, but if there is money to be made, anyone will take the risk. Christie's auctioned the animal head with an invoice? These words also deceive the common people who watch the news. An Feng considered for more than ten seconds, and finally nodded in agreement.

  He knew that he had lost money, but he didn't want to go for the small money, and he didn't get the big money. Selling it to a jewelry company actually didn't have technical content. If he wanted to sell it at a high price, he turned to an international auction company. He thought about sending the two larger colored diamonds in the box to the auction, and exchanged them for 10 to 20 million, which would be interesting!

   After the transfer of 3.5 million was completed, the manager personally sent him to the door, shook hands and said goodbye, and said that if he wanted to dispose of the pink diamond, they could give him a high price. An Feng also pretended to be polite: "If I want to make a move, I will contact you first." In the end, the business card was thrown into the taxi.

  I was refreshed on the way back, and I had lunch at a nice restaurant. I also ordered a bottle of red wine like those rich people, took a sip, and smacked my lips...I didn't feel it. I really don't know why movies like to act like this. After a full meal, An Feng returned to the rental house he rented.

This area is the so-called bullish urban village. It is specially prepared for graduates and young people who come to work from other places. Generally, they are single rooms with kitchen and bathroom. The lighting is not good, the competition for land is serious, and the buildings are crowded. You are sleeping here. On the other side, the voices of the young couple XX could be heard clearly, and they did not distinguish between day and night. The young couple who worked the night shift finished their work during the day, followed by the young couple who couldn't sleep at night.

It's not that An Feng doesn't want to move, but a better place means that the rent needs to eat up a quarter of his salary, and he doesn't have a girlfriend, so the bachelor can just make do with it, and after a year or two, he doesn't feel any discomfort of. But now that I have money, looking at my kennel, it's really not worthy of the grade!

  He searched online for the branches of international auction companies in his country. Due to policy reasons, there are relatively few of them, and they are all concentrated in big cities. There is an American auction company in the capital with strong strength. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so he booked a flight ticket to the capital the next afternoon on the Internet.

Except for the important documents and laptops, all the other things were handed over to the old man who collects rags in this area. Many electrical appliances such as induction cooker and single-door refrigerator are in normal operation. An Feng didn't care about it and gave them away directly. , the rent will not be refunded, and I will leave on time the next day.

  Before he set off, he threw away the metal box. This thing can't pass the security check. He doesn't want to be swept out of the box and bring out this pile of diamonds. It's not worth the loss and there is no place to cry. Throw it away. Moreover, the box is not a rare thing except that the material is extraordinarily strong.

Sitting in a comfortable business class cabin, my mind is full of repeating the lyrics of "When we have money": buy two Rolls-Royces, drive one, and tow one; People live in one, pigs in one; Pierre Cardin has two sets, one set of curtains, one set of rags...

   So much so that after getting off the plane, he wished he could rush to the door of the auction house and pat his big diamond on someone's table, but unfortunately he had already left work. He stayed in a star hotel and called to make an appointment the next morning. Take a trip to the soft bed of the hotel, dreaming sweet dreams until dawn.

   Attend the meeting on time the next day.

  Due to making an appointment in advance, the data reported by An Feng was too shocking, a blue diamond the size of a thumb, and two very similar pink diamonds... The other party also showed great sincerity and waited for him in the number one box. The reception specifications are different, two beautiful and tall girls in cheongsam, and the manager is a foreigner with high nose bridge and brown hair, speaking fluent Chinese, first shook hands with An Feng, and then said: "Mr. Several GIA (Gemological Institute of America) senior appraisers have been invited to ensure that your collection can get the most authentic data."

   "I believe in your strength." An Feng said with a smile.

   "This way please." The manager invited him in.

  An Feng brought eight diamonds this time, two very similar large pink diamonds, and one blue diamond, estimated to weigh one or two. Two brilliant white diamonds, three small ones. Those few experts are also professional enough, with a lot of equipment, and they all communicate in English during the period.

  An Feng became even more disturbed. He tried hard to figure out what they were talking about.

Soon, the manager came to shake hands with him with a smile, as if meeting the God of Wealth: "Mr. An, congratulations! Your diamond quality is unprecedentedly high, and the cut is unbelievable! I have never seen it in my career! It's so exciting to meet so many top performers!”

   "Yes! I'm so excited!" An Feng shook hands with the enthusiastic manager, but he was muttering in his heart, my stuff, why are you so excited.

   "However," the manager used a twist, and An Feng was a little nervous. Could it be that there is something wrong, they don't accept diamonds from unknown sources?

   "According to my understanding of Easterners, you prefer jade, while Westerners prefer diamonds. If you want to auction it in China, I am afraid it will not achieve the desired effect."

   "What is your suggestion?" An Feng heaved a sigh of relief.

"You can entrust us to send this batch of diamonds to the United States for auction. First, we will hold an exhibition for a period of time, so that the world's rich and media will focus on them, and then we will stir them up to push the price to the peak. To achieve a win-win effect for you and me, what do you think?"

   "It couldn't be more suitable." An Feng said, "Based on your estimates, if only the two pink diamonds are auctioned, what is the expected transaction price?"

The manager thought for a while, then ran to ask the experts in a rigorous manner, and then came back and said: "If it is those two twin pink diamonds, the estimated transaction price is between 25 million and 35 million US dollars, and we will publicize them all the way." , only charge a commission of 10% of the transaction price.”
