The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 406: 600 carat giant rough diamond

The cooperation was happily. Without going to the bank, I called the Citibank office in Cape Town and reported the card number of one of my bank cards. The other party will immediately send someone to deal with the issue of fund transactions.

At this time, I went to contact the employees of the friendly business company and came back and told them that the bosses of two companies would send diamonds over within an hour, and the fastest one would arrive in about 15 minutes.

Almost all are in the same building, but the bosses are not necessarily in the company.

Even if it is, it is necessary to discuss the price of the diamond on hand: it can't be sold cheaply, and it can't make the business pornographic because of the high price.

Several people were drinking coffee in the reception room, and Zhang Nan asked if he could get a cushion or emerald diamond of about 30 carats, which stumped Basten.

"Mr. Allen, a giant diamond of this level is difficult. It can only be seen by chance."

It’s not just to buy from the auction, but here is to bypass De Beers’s Big Mac to buy “bargains”. It’s difficult to find pillow-shaped diamonds of about 30 carats in this channel, but it’s hard to find high-quality ones. , Can be met and unquestioned.

Speaking of this, Basten asked more: "Mr. Allen, do you want to inlay a men's ring?"

He noticed that Zhang Nan was wearing an extremely simple Patek Philippe without any other jewelry.

Zhang Nan shook his head slightly and said, "No, I want to make a little toy for my daughter, and I will miss three diamonds like this."

Well, some people really don't intend to pretend to be B, but what they say and do can make others go crazy!

Basten is also in his 50s. It can be seen that the East Asian American in front of him will never be 30. How old is his daughter this year?

It takes three 30-carat high-quality diamonds to make a toy for my daughter. This is not so ostentatious!

"What happened to this world?!"

How many ladies and celebrities would be ecstatic to own a "named diamond" of 10.8 carats or more, and this one...

Heaven! Basten felt that there was a serious problem with his worldview: Now the Oppenheimer family, who actually controls De Beers, would not make such a toy for his direct little girl!

At this time, De Beers headquarters can be hundreds of yards away.

The world is so strange that Basten felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Loebs-Brown would also be dumbfounded: If this old South African friend knew that the three diamonds were just three matching diamonds under the main diamond, I wonder if he would be so depressed and hit the wall!

After watching "Aurora" in Brown, Zhang Nan also consulted his opinion: If you design a scepter based on it, what should be done.

Take the British King’s scepter as a sample, the head of the rod has seven layers, and everything else is easy to handle: the second layer from the top also needs a huge, nearly round gemstone, at least 200 carats in size-a diamond of this shape is not It's easy to find, you can't buy it with money!

Then you can only use rubies or sapphires to make up the number. If it doesn't work, top emeralds or red spinels will do.

But even so, this is a super difficult project.

Especially Zhang Nan's favorite ruby, it is a question whether there is such a size!

The fourth layer will be inlaid with the cut "Aurora". At present, Brown and Xiang Zhangsheng's opinion is that it is cut into a drop shape, which can maintain the weight of the diamond to the greatest extent.

The fifth layer requires three matching diamonds of about 30 carats, which are inlaid on three sides, which is more in line with the visual aesthetics.

As for the other thousands of diamonds and gems of various colors needed for the whole scepter, they are all trivial.

Within an hour, Zhang Nan bought 7 more diamonds, 5 of which were rough diamonds. The largest one had a head of 28 carats, which could be processed into a cushion-shaped diamond between 15 and 17 carats, but it still didn’t reach it. Zhang Nan's request.

Don't worry, it's a big deal to go to Antwerp to try your luck. The price of diamonds is not particularly high. Even if the price is increased by half compared to Cape Town, Zhang Nan will have to get three diamonds of the same size this year.

When I think about my daughter, what is money or not, let's talk about the toys!

After the business talks, I am planning to leave, and it is arranged that Basten will bring a few friends to the spa hotel to visit in the evening.

I will also send some diamonds.

Buying so many diamonds, when the diamond mine opens, those rough diamonds can be regarded as coming out of their own mining area, and it is not necessary to be famous.

Besides, the price of diamonds will continue to rise in the past few years, even if you don’t use it.

At this moment, the diamond company administrator who had just contacted hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Basten's ear.

Basten frowned slightly, and sent the man to leave first. Then he said: "Mr. Allen, Mr. Brown, just received the news that a friend of mine has a very large top-quality rough diamond in hand. I don't know if you are not interested. ?"

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said: "It's huge?"

"Very big!"

"How many?"

Now Basten hesitated a bit. Zhang Nan looked at it and smiled and said: "I'm not afraid that the diamond is big, as long as the quality is good, the bigger the better."

Basten did not answer directly, instead he said: "Because I heard that it was introduced by Mr. Brown, my friend thought about selling it. This is Cape Town. Some things are very complicated."

What is complicated?

Because this is the site of De Beers!

And this is also assessing Zhang Nan's appetite, if he doesn't have a certain strength, that person would not come out.

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "My dear friend, that ‘unbeatable’ is in my hand, now it’s called ‘Xingchen’, so..."

Needless to say too much, whether it is economic strength or the relationship with De Beers, Zhang Nan did not pass the Big Mac in Cape Town. It is not a problem to buy a giant rough diamond in private~www. wuxiaspot.com~ You just buy it, and De Beers can’t say anything. You know "Stars" but De Beers made a fortune. If De Beers is going to be squeaky, it will go. A huge old customer!

And De Beers also has a reputation, and it does not want to provoke top giants in other industries.

Basten appropriately expressed the surprise of Zhang Nan's collection, and then said: "The diamonds are nearly 600 carats. My friend wants to sell them anonymously. I will trade with you. He will not come forward."

So big!

"I don't have any problems, then I'll wait for the driver at the hotel."

After speaking, shake hands and leave.

600 carats, this size is rare in the world. Even 20 years later, there will only be 20 gem-quality rough diamonds that weigh more than 500 carats.

This can happen once, as long as it can pass.

This diamond building, Brown said: "Boss, such a giant diamond can not be missed, it will be a great help to your jewelry company in the future."

"I didn't intend to miss it."

After talking with a smile, he glanced at his watch and it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Go to the Cape of Good Hope."

When you come to Cape Town, if you don't go to the Cape of Good Hope, you don't come-in another 20 years, whether you dare to come is a question.
