Mix the city with the system
Chapter 346 Doom Diamond
The news that the treasure contained golden rooster diamonds caused quite a stir in the world immediately after the press conference.
At this time, everyone is guessing that Honda Eiichi, the future head of the Honda Group, came to China on the surface to sign a contract, but in fact, he came to steal the golden rooster diamond for the Japanese pirate country.
Because this golden rooster diamond was wanted by the Japanese pirates during the war of aggression against China.
"Xiang Xiaoling, how much are these antiques worth?" After lying on the bed, Xiang Nanfei immediately asked the system elf this question.
"Master, since the price of the Golden Rooster Diamond cannot be calculated, so I can't do this statistics anymore." The system wizard was helpless.
"What? It's not easy to count? Then what about my experience reward?" Xiang Nanfei asked hurriedly.
"Of course there will be rewards for experience points, but they will be a little special, but before that, the value of this golden rooster diamond must be determined." After that, the system elf gave Nanfei the price of some other diamonds with hues took a look.
The first diamond was a pink diamond, named——Pink Star.
Pink Star (English name: PinkStar), a flawless pink diamond of nearly 60 carats. It was discovered in South Africa in 1999.In November 2013, the Pink Star was auctioned at a Sotheby's auction in Geneva, Switzerland, with a high price of 11 million U.S. dollars, setting a world record for gem auction prices.
The second diamond is a flawless Type IIa diamond.
On September 9, Xiangjiang exhibited a 19-carat oval D-color flawless Type IIa diamond, the largest D-color flawless diamond in the auction history, and the final transaction price was 118.28 million Hong Kong dollars.
The third diamond is a transparent diamond with vivid deep blue color, and it is also a rare treasure-Ocean Star. This diamond is also the prototype of "Heart of the Ocean" in the movie Titanic.
The Ocean Star is one of the four giant gemstones in the Mongolian imperial court. According to legend, it is used for divination and sky watching, but its origin is unknown.
However, there are sources, one of which is that it was plundered from a small Slavic country during the "Eldest Son's Western Expedition".The quality of the gemstone is blue all over, the size is "similar to that of a seal", and its origin is said to be Litan (now the Nogundi area in western Pakistan).It is said that after the Mongolian Empire was driven to the north of the Great Wall by Zhu Yuanzhang, it was lost during the migration of Mongolian nobles, and its whereabouts are unknown.
Some people also claimed to have seen the Ocean Star in the underground vault of the Soviet State Bank when the German army captured Kiev in World War II, but it has not been confirmed.
However, in 16/42 AD, the French explorer and jeweler Tavimir first obtained this huge gem diamond in southwest India, weighing 112 carats.
It has an extremely rare dark blue color.Tavimir brought the gem back to France and dedicated it to King Louis XIV of France. The king granted him an official position and rewarded him with a large sum of money as the price of the gem.
But after that, the nightmare began.
The legendary bad luck began to befall those who touched the gem.Tavimir's property was spent by his unfilial son, which made him penniless when he was 80 years old. He still had to go to India again, hoping to seek new wealth.However, he was killed by wild dogs there.
The next one will be the turn of the King of France, that is, after Tavimir, Louis XIV who got the diamond.He diamond-cut the blue gem into a diamond weighing 69.03 carats.
Louis XIV wore it only once, and soon died of smallpox.Louis XV, who succeeded King of France, became the new owner of the diamond.He swore not to wear the large dark blue diamond, but he lent it to his mistress.As a result, Louis XV's mistress was beheaded during the French Revolution.
Later, this big blue diamond was passed on to King Louis XVI of France, and his queen often wore this diamond. As a result, both Louis XVI and his wife were sent to the guillotine.
Queen Louis XVI's girlfriend, Princess Lambona, then became the owner of this blue diamond of bad luck.She was probably killed in the French Revolution because of wearing this unlucky diamond.
This large blue diamond was stolen from the treasury of France in 1792.The fate of the thief is not known, only that it was rethought once, the weight was reduced to 45.52 carats, and it appeared in the jewelry market in London in 1830, and was immediately bought by the banker Hope, worth 18000 yuan. GBP.
Since then, the blue diamond has been named "Hope" after its new owner.Since Hope in English means hope, the diamond is also called "hope".
The banker Hope was unmarried all his life, and he passed on the blue diamond to his grandson (on the condition that he change his surname to Hope).The new owner of the diamond later married Yossi, an American actress. Soon, Little Hope went bankrupt, and Yossie divorced him.Yossi died in Boston, USA in 1940. She was impoverished in her later years, and she often complained that the blue diamond "Hope" brought her bad luck.
In 1906, Little Hope was forced to sell the blue diamond "Hope" in order to pay off his debts. In the following two years, "Hope" was resold many times. In 1908, the blue diamond "Hope" was bought by Sultan Hamid II of Turkey for $40.
It is said that when the businessman who handled the sale took his wife and children out, the car overturned the cliff and the whole family died together.The blue diamond "Hope" was worn by his confidant Zuobid given by the Sultan in the Turkish court, but Zuobid was executed by the Sultan soon after.
In 1911, McClane, head of the Washington Post, bought the blue diamond "Hope" for $11.4, and he gave it to his wife as a gift.Someone told Mrs. McClane that it was a diamond that would bring bad luck, and talked about many historical legends, but Mrs. McClane laughed it off.She often wears this diamond, and often wears it together with another famous diamond she owns, the 94.8-carat "Oriental Star", to show luxury and wealth.
Maybe it's a coincidence!
In the second year after Mrs. McClane got the blue diamond "Hope", her son died in a car accident, and her husband, Mr. McClane, also died soon after, and her daughter died of an overdose of sleeping pills.Mrs McLaren died in 1947.
After that, Winston, a well-known big jeweler in the United States, bought all her jewelry in 1958 and became the new owner of the blue diamond "Hope".What's next?Winston took this ill-fated diamond and flew across the Atlantic Ocean many times in different seasons. Of course, nothing happened, but he encountered an interesting thing.
Once, Winston and his wife went to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. When returning to New York, his wife took the plane one day first, and Winston himself flew back to New York the next day.
Mrs. Winston's plane took off on time and landed at Maria Airport in the Azores to refuel as required. Due to a small engine failure, the plane was delayed for about 3 hours.While waiting for repairs, a male passenger suddenly refused to travel on this plane and insisted on changing to the next day's plane, so he got off the plane and left.
Unbeknownst to Winston, on his way to Lisbon airport the next day, he received a telegram from his wife saying she had arrived in New York safely.Winston stuffed the electricity into his pocket and boarded the plane to New York. When the plane took off, he found that the seat next to him was empty. He was very happy because he could have a good sleep.
When he woke up, the plane had arrived at the gas station at Maria Airport in the Azores. While the plane was refueling, he got off the plane and went for a walk.
When he returned to the plane, he found that there was already a guest in the next seat, and this person was telling the passengers on board about his own adventure story.
He said that he was actually on the same plane as the wife of the owner of the Misfortune Diamond yesterday, and sure enough, the plane broke down at the Marie Airport, so he quickly got off the plane and asked to take today's plane...
The passenger continued: "I'm not superstitious, but why would I take the risk of being on the same plane as the wife of the owner of the Misfortune Diamond? I insisted on another plane. You see, I'm safe and able to fly." Talk here." Winston listened, dumbfounded, thinking, what would happen to this fellow now if he knew that I was the owner of the Blue Diamond Hope?
At this moment, the passenger sitting next to him suddenly raised his voice and said: "It would be a strange thing if the plane arrived safely yesterday." Mr. Winston, who is well-mannered, probably couldn't bear it anymore, and he took out the plane from his pocket. The telegram from his wife was handed over to the excited passenger sitting next to him. Suddenly, he became quiet like a deflated ball. He never spoke again until he reached his destination in New York.
finally!After 300 years of superstition finally shattered, the bad luck is over.
This beautiful blue diamond "Hope", which has gone through ups and downs and suffered countless injustices, has obtained its proper destination.Winston donated it to the nation as a gift and it is now housed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, USA.Since then, it is no longer a show off of luxury and wealth, or to add personal and beautiful decorations, but has become a specimen of scientific research.
However, when the diamond was exhibited on the subsequent Titanic, the Titanic sank, and finally, in order to prevent the bad luck from restarting, the Smithsonian Institute sealed it again.
In fact, the story of Ocean Star is similar to that of Golden Rooster and Diamond.
After people get it, they will have bad luck again and again.
This frightened Xiang Nanfei to death.
"I'll go~, has this golden rooster diamond been cursed?" Xiang Nanfei has touched this golden rooster diamond before, if it is really cursed, Xiang Nanfei should take it easy.
"No." The System Elf inspected the Golden Rooster Diamond and replied to Xiang Nanfei.
"That's good." Xiang Nanfei wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Because, at this very moment, the golden rooster diamond is on Xiang Nanfei's body, and since Xiang Nanfei is a master of local media, the golden rooster diamond is kept by the most powerful Xiang Nanfei.
At this time, everyone is guessing that Honda Eiichi, the future head of the Honda Group, came to China on the surface to sign a contract, but in fact, he came to steal the golden rooster diamond for the Japanese pirate country.
Because this golden rooster diamond was wanted by the Japanese pirates during the war of aggression against China.
