Every Day One Step Closer To the Manifestation
Chapter 416: rough stone
Seeing that the benefactor was not smiling, Cai Bin and Mark, who were laughing just now, stopped immediately. Cai Bin, in particular, quickly realized that the joke was inappropriate.
Feng Yi studies snakes, and probably also likes snakes. Mark's joke just now will make the other party dislike it.
But Cai Bin didn't know what to say at this time, and was a little embarrassed, so he just stood aside quietly, with his head slightly lowered, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible. Feng Yi still smiled politely. And that's all.
Mark got it. Oh, this one didn't hit the employer's joke.
Tell a joke instead.
After a little thought, Mark gave up again.
Forget it, people's jokes are not the same. And he was keenly aware that the joke just now seemed to have stepped on the employer's thunder point.
Although I don't know which word provoked the employer's nerves, but in order to avoid stepping on the thunder again, and for the tips given by the employer, it is better not to talk nonsense!
So Mark put on a sincere and apologetic expression and asked, "What do you want to hear? I can talk about anything!" As long as I can afford it!
At this time, Xiaojia had already driven the car over, and they got in the car first, and went to the mine that Feng Yi had his eyes on, which had the entertainment project of digging diamonds.
The mine is some distance from the city center, and it takes nearly an hour to drive.
After leaving the urban area and going forward, the road surface is not very smooth, there are some bumps, and the driving speed will not be fast.
Feng Yi leaned on the back of the chair, originally planning to sleep for a while, but when he closed his eyes, the stones that his ancestors used to pave the floor appeared again in his mind.
those hard shining stones.
Those stones that act as auxiliary tools.
Feng Yi opened his eyes, looked out of the car window, thoughtful.
Seeing this, Mark immediately asked intimately, "Boss, do you have any confusion? Maybe I can answer it for you."
Feng Yi said: "I always feel that I can dig out diamonds this time."
mark:"…"
If you say that, I can't solve it!
I can't throw a diamond at you to pick it up!
He complained in his heart, but still had an "I believe in you" look on his face. Mark smiled and said, "I will definitely do what you want!"
As for whether the wish will come true, he will have already taken the money and left by then, so it's up to you! Avoiding this topic, Mark told Feng Yi about the mine again. It mainly introduces the background of the mine, and the things that are unknown to outsiders about the current owner of the mine and the security of the mine.
After all, even if a large number of mines are closed now and the market is not as good as before, the person who can take over a medium-sized mine is not a small character.
Mark said this because he wanted to tell the funder not to make too many troubles after that, don't conflict with the people in the mine, and don't be too aggressive.
From Mark's point of view, even though the employer is rich, he doesn't have enough pomp and confidence. When it comes to other people's territory, even if it is a dragon, doesn't it have to be coiled?
A man wearing a big gold chain may not be able to return safely if he walks around the mine alone.
Although Feng Yi still brought two or three followers, what's the use? From the security guards to the miners in the mine, they are all from the opposite side. You can't fight with just three or two kittens like this!
Therefore, even if you are very rich, you should be more restrained when you go there.
Mark looked at the employer quickly again, feeling a little more at ease. The employer’s dress was similar to that of ordinary tourists, and he didn’t see any valuables on his body—no gold chains around his neck, no gemstones on his fingers, and no luxury watches on his wrists. His clothes, pants, and shoes should all be bought locally. A bit local, not a luxury brand. Even the rented car is not a luxury car.
Very good very good, safe!
At first glance, he is the kind of person who makes a fortune in a low-key manner!
Mark believed even more that this employer had no status, and was only limited to the kind that would be more refreshing to give tips.
Of course Mark likes it too!
This is their main source of income!
He likes this kind of employer who gives tips easily!
Therefore, Mark continued to start his dedicated work with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.
operation mode.
When the vehicle drove to the mining area, there were many billboards, all of which were publicity for the mine.
You can't see it on the road, but it's only when you get to the place that you find out that there are a lot of tourists here, and they probably came here from other routes.
Looking around, there is quite a commercial atmosphere, and some shop-like buildings have been built, which is not empty.
After driving the car to the parking lot and parking it, Mark said professionally: "There are quite a few people queuing up. I'll go and see if I can get tickets for the afternoon show. It says there are tickets online, but it's not certain."
After Mark left, Feng Yi called Xiao Jia and Xiao Ding aside to talk.
Cai Bin, on the other hand, conducted on-the-spot observations of the mining area travel guide displayed on his mobile phone. Can't let that Mark do all the work!
When Feng Yi finished chatting, Cai Bin immediately shared the information he found just now with his own analysis, and told Feng Yi all about it.
"There is also a store over there that specializes in selling diamond jewelry. It is relatively cheap, and it is certified and authentic. Many tourists will buy jewelry there as souvenirs. If you dig diamonds in the mine, you can also sell them to store, they charge."
After thinking for a while, Cai Bin glanced around vigilantly, and whispered, "Diamonds are real, but not necessarily natural diamonds."
"Go and have a look later." Feng Yi said, first walked to the snack bar opposite the diamond shop.
I'm a little hungry.
Sitting at the snack bar, waiting for Mark while eating.
Ten minutes later, Mark came back with beads of sweat still dripping from his forehead.
"It's done! Tickets are very tight these days, and the advertisement is worth it. Three tour groups chartered cars directly over this morning, so there are so many people. The mine has closed the online ticket booking channel. I found someone to buy the ticket with extra money, otherwise I would have to take tomorrow’s ticket.”
Mark handed the ticket to Feng Yi, and then took the money from Xiao Jia very silkily.
Much more than the extra money he paid for the ticket!
With a more enthusiastic smile, Mark told Feng Yi the news he had inquired about when buying the ticket.
"Tama, the owner of the mine, is here. He will come to the mine for a few days to take a look. He is also the one who asked people to temporarily close the online booking channel. He himself didn't expect the advertising effect to be so good."
The owner of the mine really didn't expect those fake advertisements to fool so many tourists!
However, the mine’s ability to receive tourists is limited, and there are too many people to manage. Once the place becomes chaotic, he will lose even more. What if someone takes advantage of the chaos to steal diamonds?
But the owner of the mine is not reconciled to seeing these small coins fly away, and is now trying to figure out a way.
Based on Mark's guess, it is estimated that starting tomorrow, there will be more security guards and temporary miners in the mine.
Also, don't wait until tomorrow, there may be more hyped news today, making this place a check-in spot for Internet celebrities.
Mark looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Feng Yi:
"The afternoon show hasn't started yet, boss, do you want to go to the store opposite first?"
What he was talking about was the shop selling diamond jewelry across the street, which also belonged to the mining area.
"There are some rough diamonds dug out of this mine in the past few decades, but the particles are relatively small, and the large ones have flowed into the market long ago, and they will not be displayed and sold in this place." Mark said .
"Go and see." Feng Yi is indeed more interested in those rough diamonds.
When a rough diamond is cut and polished into jewelry, only one-third of it may remain, and the original surface has been worn away.
What Feng Yi wanted to see was the surface layer of those rough stones!
Just like he used to play with meteorites, after a period of time, there will be a special layer of material on the surface of meteorites.
Like the caves seen in mountain caves before, there is also a layer of special substances on the stone walls of underwater caves.
The ancestors used diamonds to assist in moulting, that is to say, those diamonds were exposed to enough dissipated energy, and the surface layer was likely to undergo some special changes. The instrument may not be able to detect it, but if Feng Yi sees it, he will definitely be able to identify it.
After the meal, how many people go to
Opposite shop.
Feng Yi still only wears a pair of sunglasses, but because the clothes on his body are relatively ordinary, they are not conspicuous.
Those tourists wearing tour group hats have a much stronger sense of presence than Feng Yi, and there is a long line as soon as they leave. The languages of various countries are mixed, and the words and deeds carry the styles of various countries.
Feng Yi didn't care about that, he walked towards the opposite diamond shop with a clear goal.
There is also a particularly conspicuous sign hanging on the door of the store - No blood diamonds!
Blood diamonds are not blood-red diamonds, but those: diamonds under the background of war, countless blood and sweat and squeeze, traders who kill without batting an eye, and so on.
Cai Bin looked at the erected sign, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "So the certificate is valuable. It can be traced to the source. It proves that it is not a blood diamond. It proves that it is not a blood diamond or stolen goods. It will be easy to sell in the future. Big-name jewelry stores will not sell this kind of diamond." Illegally obtained 'war diamonds,. At least on paper."
Mark said: "Speaking of it, it's still the game of those who play diamonds. However, if you adapt to this game, you can also make money. Collection, that's all. I know a rich man who bought diamonds for 80 million , sold more than 100 million yuan in a few years!"
Earning tens of millions in one hand, Mark's eyes were red with envy.
Cai Bin is not optimistic about diamond collection: "It's all a market game, but it's uncertain in the future. Diamonds are hyped up. Isn't it just an allotrope of carbon? Moreover, the technology of cultivating diamonds is getting more and more powerful now. .”
After the climate abnormal period, the rules were reset, synthetic diamonds quickly seized the market, and the technology became higher and higher. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Cai Bin is reminding Feng Yi that it is better to be rational when buying this kind of thing.
When they said this outside the shop, they just whispered it, and when they entered the shop, they stopped talking about it.
In other people's stores, it is said that it is a beating.
Feng Yi walked into the store, glanced at the delicately carved ornaments, then didn't take another look, and went straight to the counter of rough diamonds. In addition to the commodity counter, there is a very large display cabinet next to it.
All the rough diamonds on display are found in the mine. While playing a publicity role, it also lets tourists know what the rough stone looks like, so don’t dig it up and throw it away as an ordinary stone.
Corresponding photos and screenshots of related news reports were also posted. There are several newspaper screenshots that are very dated.
Tourists have doubts about the authenticity of these things, but these doubts cannot stop tourists from digging diamonds and having some beautiful fantasies.
No matter how much of the news here is true, diamonds were indeed produced here. Even though the mine resources are exhausted now, there should be a little bit left, right?
What if the remaining bit is dug by me?
Many tourists who come here have such fantasies.
The tourists were a little fanatical, but Feng Yi was quite calm.
He looked at the rough diamonds in the display case.
The rough stones inside are big and small, some are regular in shape, and some look like they were knocked out from somewhere.
The focus of Feng Yi's attention falls on these irregularly shaped particles.
As he expected, there are indeed substances that he can sense here, but very few, only a few of them.
Feng Yi called the salesperson over.
The salesperson asked very politely, "Sir, which one do you like, and I will help you out."
Feng Yi raised his hand and pointed at them one by one: "This, this, this, and the two on this side, plus the one on the top, oh, and the one on the other side that is more broken, I will pick a few."
The salesman was stunned and asked, "...these? All of them?"
Feng Yi thought for a while, since he wanted to study how the ancestors left these things on the diamonds, he must practice by himself.
"Well, the one over there is more regular in shape, wrap it up for me." The salesman wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled politely and respectfully, "Wait a minute, my authority is limited, so I'll call our store manager immediately. come over!"
Not long after, a slightly fat middle-aged man in a short-sleeved shirt trotted over.
After the introduction, he asked Feng Yi again and confirmed the purchase, instead of just taking it out for a look, the store manager quickly took out the rough stones Feng Yi pointed out from the counter, and then invited Feng Yi to the private room behind the shop.
"Sir, the diamonds you need are here. Can you confirm whether they are the ones you want and pack them together? We have a variety of gift boxes to choose from."
Feng Yi: "Just pack them together."
The store manager has to look at the rough stones worth hundreds of yuan and put them together with the rough stones worth hundreds of thousands. Large and small particles are mixed together.
The store manager didn't understand very much, and his heart was full of doubts. He couldn't understand the customer's aesthetics and preferences.
These rough diamonds, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com grain size, shape, color, clarity, etc. can't see anything in common! There are even lab-grown diamonds in it! With all kinds of guesses in mind, the store manager still had an enthusiastic and appropriate smile on his face, and then handed out a business card: "If you have a need for bulk purchases, you can contact me, we have stable, reliable, high-quality and low-cost sales channels! "
Feng Yi took the business card, but didn't say anything about the "mass purchase demand", not to mention his own identity.
The store manager was satisfied when he saw that the other party took the business card, and didn't care whether the customer showed his identity or not.
He only cares about whether the customer pays or not.
After Feng Yi finished the payment, the store manager was more considerate, and opened a door on the other side of the store very considerately, making it less likely to attract attention when walking from this side.
But Feng Yi didn't go this way, because he didn't take the diamonds out of the store at all.
"Put it here first, I will come to your store to pick it up with the receipt and certificate later."
Feng Yi also intends to experience digging diamonds, he doesn't want to carry such a box with him all the time, it's better to put it here than to put it anywhere.
Mark, who has been by the side, disagrees very much.
Boss, are you so relieved to put the diamonds you bought here? !
When the time comes to pick it up, what if they don't recognize it?
Can you bulldoze their entire store? ?
