Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 544 Departure
Because of Liang En's gift, Mr. Varma quickly prepared a return gift and gave Liang En and Joan a tie clip inlaid with rubies and a ruby ​​brooch.

Although Mr. Varma is now focusing on diamond processing, but in fact, as an Indian, they prefer colored gemstones rather than transparent diamonds.

If you pay attention to the Indian museums or rich people's homes, you will find that those diamond jewelry are basically brought by outsiders or made after the 19th century.

This is actually a microcosm of the world's popular changes. At least from the time when diamonds were discovered until the 19th century, this transparent gemstone was only considered as one of the ordinary gemstones, and it did not have the momentum of today's top gemstones.

If you look for those ancient cultural relic jewelry, you will find that those ancient jewelry are basically inlaid with colored gemstones. As for diamonds, they only appear occasionally, and they seem to be simply used for color matching.

As for diamonds being touted so high now, it is purely because De Beers, a diamond company, has spent more than 100 years.Through publicity and other means, it has abruptly reversed the public's view of diamonds.

At least according to Liang En's experience working in the high-end jewelry industry during this period, the fashion trend of high-end jewelry has not changed much, and the classic colored gemstones, such as emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, are still the main ones.

People are used to using colored gemstones such as ruby, sapphire or emerald as the main stone of jewelry, and then set a circle of diamonds around it as a foil.

However, doing so is now often regarded as old-fashioned. After all, this inlay method is stable and stable, but the same style is difficult to attract everyone's attention.

This is why Liang Enneng was appreciated in jewelry design all of a sudden, because he inherited Mucha's approach of taking jewelry design as the core of jewelry, serving this core, and not pursuing the preciousness of raw materials. current fashion trends.

Although it is said that fashion will change, it is impossible for a company to pin all its hopes on fashion, but Liang En's master design will be widely welcomed no matter what the fashion is.

And this is the important reason why his position in the jewelry company is getting higher and higher now. After all, for this kind of established company, the important thing is not the temporary profit, but the overall stability.

Also because of this attention, he was able to come to India on behalf of the company to deal with matters related to cooperation this time, and the reason why he became Mr. Varma's distinguished guest also had an important relationship with him showing his design level before.

This is especially true for the ring designed before, which perfectly fits Mr. Varma's requirements in this regard, so Mr. Varma is so happy now.

After giving each other small gifts, Mr. Varma talked about the upcoming event hunting, which can be regarded as a regular project for this group of local tyrants in India when they face VIPs.

For example, the batch of special hunting guns found in India that Liang En found in Bath before was for this purpose. In the colonial era, those colonists from Britain would ride elephants to hunt tigers or leopards.

However, the target of Liang En's hunting this time is not this kind of beast. Although there are indeed ferocious tigers and leopards in this area, those animals are actually active in the surrounding animal protection areas, and Mr. Varma does not have them here.

"Our targets are some nasty wild boars." Mr. Varma also looked helpless when talking about the target of this hunting. "You know that my territory is not all plains, and there are more than 1000 square kilometers of mountains."

"There are some cash crops planted on those mountains, such as pepper, cinnamon, cloves, etc., which can bring me a lot of income every year."

"But because of these wild boars, every year we discuss the harvesting season, we will encounter a certain degree of casualties. For example, last year, one person died from the attack of wild boars, one person was disabled, and three people were seriously injured and lay in the hospital for several days. months. And those wild boars would go downhill to attack farmers and destroy crops.”

"So I organize several large-scale huntings a year to kill these wild boars. After all, these wild boars destroy a lot of crops every year, not to mention that I am the owner of this land, and it is my duty to protect the people on this land -"

Mr. Varma explained the reason for hunting here, and Joan nodded in approval after hearing the last sentence. As a person who came from that era, she quite accepts Mr. Varma, who is obviously backward today. ideas.

Elephants are still the means of transportation for hunting. After all, even if the destination mountain is actually just some hills, cars can't get in. Only elephants can drive straight into that kind of place.

The option of walking into the mountains is definitely not among Mr. Varma's options. Not to mention how dangerous it is to meet wild boars head-on on flat ground, Indian tradition alone does not allow them to do so.

Because in Indian tradition, the practice of being tired and sweaty is only done by low castes, and even their prime ministers will be criticized from this perspective when they sweep the streets to promote cleanliness.

So even if they do hunting activities, the whole is still elegant and casual, instead of walking through the jungle with guns as many people imagine.

Because the target is a wild boar this time, everyone prepared a powerful rifle. For example, Liang En used a brand new Caprivi equipped with the very popular 0.375-inch H&H Magnum bullet. shotgun.

This is a middle-fold vertical double-barrel shotgun. Although the amount of ammunition that can be loaded at one time is not much, it is powerful enough to bring down those large prey with one shot.

As for Joan of Arc and Fan Meng, they both chose the semi-automatic version of the m14. If the marksmanship is better, this weapon is enough to deal with wild boars.

In addition to firearms, Liang En and Joan of Arc also borrowed a set of cold weapons from the mansion. Considering their physical strengthening and cold weapon combat skills, cold weapons are more useful than guns if they are attacked by wild boars.

At least if Joan had a special hunting spear in hand, even standing on the ground alone would be enough to contend with several wild boars, and even be able to kill these prey one by one.

In addition to hunting, Mr. Varma also wanted Liang En to help him look at an ancient ruin in the mountains this time, which was only exposed in a landslide after a heavy rain a few weeks ago.

Varma had been reporting to the local archaeological department before, but as a result, the local archaeological department simply couldn't spare manpower to carry out the excavation work.

So he had been wanting to see if he could find someone to see what this ruin was, and now Liang En's arrival could help him with that.

"I didn't dare to touch that ruin before, because I couldn't see what that ruin was at all." Varma showed a distressed expression.

"You also know that the archaeological department on our side is really speechless, so if I want to protect this relic on my land, it is better to find someone to do it myself, at least if there is no damage to the cultural relics, I need to protect it." Take responsibility."
