My Ranch

Chapter 425: Tourmaline

Jiang Hai couldn't help but be happy when he heard what the fat man said. How did he see it?

How did you know? Looking at the fat man, Jiang Hai couldn't help but turn his body and said seriously.

The two girls at the back are here with you, right? After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the fat man couldn't help but point at Darlene and Marianne who were sitting right behind Jiang Hai, and said with a mean smile. .

These two are both my daughters. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai also looked back, but did not find any expensive clothes on Darlene and Marianne. These two people were the same as Jiang Hai. Like Hai, usually they don't really recognize any brand. As long as they find clothes that look good, they will buy them and wear them.

They are not people who will change themselves because of clothes, so although their clothes are not street vendors, they are not luxuries. Basically, a piece of clothing costs about a hundred dollars, which can be converted into soft girl coins. Cheap.

But in the United States, the price is indeed not expensive. The clothes they are wearing now include a loose chiffon shirt on the upper body and a pair of tight jeans on the lower body, which bring out their long legs and feet. Wearing a pair of flat canvas sneakers, the outfit is very simple, but Jiang Hai hates wearing sneakers, but they like it very much.

Just from this outfit, it's really hard to tell that these two girls are rich.

Oh, I don't know anything about the clothes they are wearing, but I am a gem merchant, and the bracelets they are wearing are not cheap. They cost tens to two hundred thousand in China. Looking at Jiang Hai, here Fatty Wang said with excitement.

Sure enough, Jiang Hai looked back and discovered that the diamond bracelets on the wrists of the two girls were still shining.

This bracelet was given to them by Qi Li. Maybe women are naturally interested in shiny things.

So Darlene and Marianne both like this bracelet, but they are reluctant to wear it normally, so they only wore it when they went out today. But compared to the clothes they were wearing, this bracelet. It's indeed too flashy.

The main diamond of this bracelet must be rated above 70 points because of its fire color, while the other diamonds must be rated above 30 points because of its brightness. The connections should all be made of platinum and specially designed. So this bracelet The price will definitely not be cheap. Facing Jiang Hai, the fat man said with a serious face.

I have to admit that there are indeed specialties in the arts in this world. If you ask Jiang Hai to understand these, he will not be able to understand them.

But this Fatty Wang does know these things very well.

When it comes to diamonds, the main thing you look at is 4c, but when the other 3cs are almost the same, the last c is weight. This is the most important thing. For diamonds smaller than thirty cents, there is really no need to use them as ring faces.

Among the diamonds. Only when the diameter of a single diamond is more than 4.5 mm and the weight is more than 0.3 carats, can it show strong brightness, which means it can dazzle people. Only when it reaches 70 points, that is, more than 0.7 carats, can it be fiery. .

Jiang Hai didn't understand what Huocai was, he just listened to what these people said, that's all.

It seems like you know a lot about these things. You came to the United States this time... After hearing Fatty Wang Taotao finish talking, Jiang Hai also nodded. I have indeed learned something, but there is nothing to do if I stay here anyway. He asked him.

I am a jewelry dealer. I travel back and forth between Western countries and our country to earn some price difference. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Fatty Wang started talking. Westerners and Easterners have different aesthetics. Like The things are also different.

In addition to gold, which is something that everyone likes, there is also a saying in China that gold is valuable and jade is priceless.

Therefore, what is really valuable in China is jade, while what is valuable abroad is gemstones.

Fatty Wang’s job is to get some gemstones in China, sell them in the United States or Europe, and then get some jades from Europe and the United States to sell back home. Although this place is not very rich in this kind of things, such as jade, The best ones are naturally in Southeast Asia, but that doesn't mean there are no mines in Europe and the United States. It's just that this thing can't be sold at a high price locally. If he comes to collect it, it will naturally be the best result. The next time, he will start Popularized the relationship between gems and jade to Jiang Hai.

Among the five recognized precious gemstones in the world, the most expensive ones are naturally diamonds. Colored diamonds of more than five carats can no longer be seen in physical stores. They can only be seen in auction houses. I think Jiang Hai relied on Made his fortune from colored diamonds.

In addition to diamonds, the second most expensive is ruby, the third is sapphire, the fourth is beryl, and the fifth is chrysoberyl. Of course, the price gets cheaper as you go down, such as the recently famous one called Burmese. Starlight's ruby ​​ring weighs 10.19 carats and is surrounded by diamonds. The reference price is only US$45,000. If it is a 10.19-carat diamond, you can't buy it even if you add a zero at the end. The rubies are mainly divided into Burmese red, Mozambique red and starlight red. Among them, the best pigeon blood red among the Burmese reds is 6,000 U.S. dollars per carat. Mozambique red is more expensive. For more than three carats, it can even be sold for 18,000 U.S. dollars per carat. This thing is really popular in Europe. It is very famous, and Starlight Red is the cheapest.

One carat is between 700 and 1,400, and the best ones are hard to sell for 3,200 US dollars per carat.

Of course, from Jiang Hai's point of view, these things are almost the same. The sapphire, beryl, and chrysoberyl at the back are cheaper. Sapphires and the like are also produced in China, and the price is not high.

Is yours also golden and green? After listening to Fatty Wang's introduction for a long time, Jiang Hai also looked at his wrist, where he also wore a string of chains, but this string of chains was colorful and red. Some are yellow, some are blue, some are green, there are all kinds of colors.

Seeing this guy talking so lively, Jiang Hai couldn't help but ask him.

Oh, no, mine is a tourmaline. Fatty Wang heard Jiang Hai's words and smiled at him.

Tourmaline? After hearing his words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment. What the hell is Tourmaline?

Tourmaline is quite valuable in our country. Of course, it is far inferior to the five gemstones above. It was not valuable originally. In 10 years, it only sold for 400 soft sister coins per gram. One gram is not one carat, but in recent years, it is said that Lafayette during the Manchu Qing Dynasty liked this thing very much, so the price has doubled. Now the top quality ones can be sold for tens of thousands of soft sister coins per gram. I am here this time , the main thing is this. Seeing that Jiang Hai didn't understand, Fatty Wang started talking again.

Speaking of tourmaline, this kind of thing is indeed worthless. Before the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing had no value at all.

However, during the Manchu Dynasty, it was first used as a top hat for officials. We often saw in TV dramas that when the emperor got angry, he said he would take off the official's top hat. This is what the top hat was talking about.

In the later period, because Cixi liked it, it was also very popular among the nobles of the Qing Dynasty. However, this thing was produced all over the world. Except that it could be speculated in China for some historical reasons, it was not valuable abroad.

It is produced in Kenya, Taiwan, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Italy, the United States, Myanmar, Brazil and some countries in South America. Huaxia Xin Province, Nanyun, Mongolia These provinces in China also produce it, and the output is not small, so if you expect it to be sold at the same price as diamonds, it is somewhat unrealistic.

Therefore, in foreign countries, one gram of this thing is only more than ten dollars. However, in China, as long as the quality is good, the price of tens of dollars will cost at least two zeros. Hearing this, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be a little surprised. He couldn't think of these things. It's so valuable.

This is the green ghost inside the tourmaline. If I were to sell this in China, it would be worth hundreds of thousands. But if I buy it here in the United States, it only costs 1,000 U.S. dollars. It's still done. Looking at Jiang Hai's shocked face It seemed that this fat man didn't have any wealth to show off, but he showed off quite proudly. He took out a dark green zodiac sign that he had been hanging on his chest and showed it to Jiang Hai.

To put it bluntly, he is not afraid that Jiang Hai will come to this business, because not everyone can do this business.

First of all, you have to have a place to buy these things in the United States. Americans don’t like these things, so there are no stores on the streets in the United States. You need to go to some production areas and talk to their bosses. Secondly, these things have to be passed Customs also requires a lot of procedures. Entering customs, especially customs in China, not only requires procedures, but also requires someone on top.

Otherwise, the tax alone will cost you a lot. This is also very realistic, otherwise not everyone can do it!

So Fatty Wang didn't care about trying these things with Jiang Hai, and Jiang Hai naturally couldn't abandon his manor to do such a business. But when he looked at these gems, something suddenly flashed in his mind. .

He remembered that he seemed to have seen such a gem before, in the sea of ​​his manor. If it was a mineral vein, didn't he find it again? I have to admit that sometimes wealth comes, and money cannot stop it even if you want to.

If it is really a tourmaline mine, it is definitely not worth much in the United States, but if we calculate it based on the domestic price, tsk tsk.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hai couldn't help but have a bright light in his eyes. It seemed that he had opened up another branch of business.

While chatting with Fatty Wang, they kept talking while the plane flew towards the imperial capital quickly.

After a good sleep, before he knew it, the more than ten-hour journey was officially completed. As the plane landed smoothly at the Imperial Capital Airport, Jiang Hai, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help but stretch his waist. Don’t think about tourmaline or anything for now.

Now that he is here, someone must be in trouble. If that guy dares to play tricks on him, Jiang Hai will kill him! (To be continued.)

ps: Today’s second update, is this recommendation a good one? From yesterday to now, the collection has increased by 700, and Xiaofei is still a little confused. Well, he continues to be confused... The second update is here!
