Reborn with wealth that rivals the country

While reporters and photographers were filming, Chen Mo had already asked Ma Teng and Cai Nong's branches to contact major TV stations on Moxun.com for live broadcast.

Moxun has a lot of traffic now, with more than 500 million users. Forcing users to pop up a window to let them watch this kind of live broadcast can still attract a lot of people to watch.

Not to mention the audience of TV stations. In 2004, the mainstream media was still TV stations, and online live broadcasts were still a new thing.

At this time, netizens were constantly scrolling to comment on the message board on the live broadcast page of Moxun.com.

"A woman who could spend three to four thousand to buy a diamond ring more than ten years ago would be a very rich woman!"

"RMB 15,000 ten years ago was quite valuable. I remember I bought my house in 1994. At that time, it was only over RMB 20,000."

"Price has risen so much that a house here now costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan."

"In the future, a house might cost more than a million dollars!"

"Upstairs, you are overthinking. Experts have said that houses will definitely fall in the future. Now in most cities, the price of one square meter can even account for one-third of the monthly salary. It is simply outrageous!"

"Hey, hey, we're off topic. What we're discussing now is how much a diamond ring can be sold for!"

"I think it can be sold for at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, right? After all, this is a diamond. Although the price has been reduced recently, it is still very expensive."

"Twenty or thirty thousand is impossible, but if the price remains the same, it shouldn't be a problem."

"I think you are overthinking it. It would be great to sell it for more than 10,000 yuan."

"How can it be only more than 10,000? I ask you to think about it carefully. How can the prices of more than ten years ago be compared with the prices of today? That is a diamond ring bought with the money of two houses! I think it is worth at least 5 Ten thousand!"

"..."

At this time, the store manager of DOI, a diamond chain brand belonging to the Okumoto family, saw a photographer following him and quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Welcome, I am the manager of this store, what would you like to order?"

"The store manager is like this, I want to sell these two diamond rings to get some money..."

The woman recounted how precious her diamond ring was and how much she had spent on it, and then asked expectantly:

"Do you think our store can recycle it? If so, how much will it cost?"

The store manager had a strange expression.

Nowadays, there are so many DOI brand diamonds that cannot be sold, so how can there be any reason to recycle them?

But since there were reporters around, the store manager still gave him some face.

Store manager: "It can be recycled, but the price may not be very high."

Woman: "It's okay. Since it's my loss, it's right. The two diamond rings I bought cost nearly 20,000 yuan in total, and they were 20,000 years ago. Now you can give me more than 10,000 yuan, and we don't care." greedy."

The store manager said awkwardly: "This price...can't be given."

The woman asked confusedly: "How much can you give me? You can definitely give me 10,000, right?"

Store manager: "Two diamond rings, I can give you a total of 180 yuan."

As soon as this statement came out.

The whole place was silent! ! !

The woman, reporters, and even the photographer all had dull expressions on their faces!

The reporter almost dropped his microphone for a moment!

Chen Mo asked her to report on the news that diamonds do not retain their value, and the reporter even wrote a script herself!

But the script she wrote was not as outrageous as the reality! ! !

I bought two diamond rings for 18,000 yuan and kept them for more than ten years. The recycling price is only 180 yuan...

This fucking depreciation is 99%! ! !

The message board also exploded!

"I go!!"

"180 yuan? Did my ears hear it correctly?"

"Your sister is so outrageous that her own mother opened the door - so outrageous that she opened the door to grandma's house!"

“It’s a knife in the ass—it opens my eyes!”

"How do I record the screen? I want to send this to my girlfriend. She is clamoring for diamonds every day, and she also says that diamonds are a symbol of love. It turns out that the symbol of love does not retain its value!"

"..."

Before the woman could ask further questions, the reporter couldn't help but speak: "Store manager, are you right? 180 yuan? Did you miss two digits? Can you tell me how this number came from?"

The store manager shook his head: "That's right, I can offer you 100 yuan for the diamond ring I bought for 3,000 to 4,000 yuan 16 years ago. I'll give you 80 yuan for this diamond ring I bought for 40,000 yuan ten years ago, for a total of 180 yuan ."

Reporter: “But don’t you think the price is outrageous?”

Store manager: “This is already the highest price in the industry.”

The woman was furious.

She thinks that ten thousand yuan is already a very, very low psychological expectation!

Who knew that the store manager's words directly gave her a critical hit of 10,000 points!

Woman: "It's 180 yuan. Even if I throw it away, I won't sell it!"

The store manager said disdainfully: "If it weren't for the fact that the settings of your two diamond rings are made of gold, I might not be able to give you 180 yuan."

In one sentence, the woman was so angry that she turned livid, took the ring and left!

This time there was no need for Chen Mo to ask. The reporter had already thought of the breaking point of this news.

Then, the reporter took the woman to several jewelry stores. Sure enough, the situation was the same as what the doi store manager said. Not to mention 180, there was no store that even offered the price!

The valuation of diamonds in jewelry stores is basically close to zero, because expensive diamond ring stores have low valuations, and this 180 yuan is basically the price of the ring setting, and it is also based on the fact that the ring setting is not made of gold!

"Viewers, we have all been brainwashed to say that diamonds are a symbol of love, that diamonds last forever, and that a diamond will last forever. But what we saw and heard today is simply ruining our outlook!"

"Don't let it be passed down forever. A diamond ring worth nearly 20,000 yuan, only 16 years later, is only worth 180 yuan. It has depreciated by 99%!"

"I can't help but ask, is the symbol of love so unable to withstand the test of time?"

As soon as this statement came out, netizens complained one after another:

"If the ring hadn't been gold-plated, it would have been worth 8 yuan."

"I checked the price of gold more than ten years ago. If all the 20,000 yuan were bought in gold, it would have increased five times by now.

But buying a diamond is worth 180 yuan now.

The price difference between the two parties is probably more than 300 times. "

“‘A diamond is forever, a diamond will last forever’ was passed down by you. Who asked you to sell it? (The dog’s head saves his life)”

"In an instant, I felt that the 8,000 yuan diamond ring on my hand no longer smelled good. I always felt that I had been cheated."

"Upstairs, remove the word "feeling".

"You can obviously steal it, but the merchant just gave you two diamond rings."

In less than two hours, "The value of a diamond ring devalued by 99% after more than ten years of hoarding" immediately became a hot topic in the news!

Naturally, Chen Mo was behind this, but the bigger reason was that it ruined everyone's understanding of diamonds!
