The Charming Life of Rebirth

Because of physical discomfort, Xiao Lin could only spend the whole afternoon in bed.

Facing the cheerful He Xu, Xiao Lin took a lot of effort to restrain the urge to bite him hard.

He Xu looked at Xiao Lin's unkind eyes, and knew that there was some kind of resentment in his narrow eyes.

It's just that although He Xu felt sorry for Xiao Lin's discomfort, he didn't regret the impulse just now.

Helping Xiao Lin apply the ointment, He Xu was about to lie down and talk to Lin Lin, but the phone rang suddenly.

"Hey?"

He Xu was originally smiling when he answered the phone, but following the other party's words, He Xu's expression gradually became serious. After hanging up the phone, He Xu's face was already ugly.

"Brother, what happened?" Xiao Lin asked softly.

He Xu took a deep breath and said, "Linlin, it's nothing serious. There are some things to deal with at work, and I have to go back to Shanxi Province early."

Xiao Lin understood that something must have happened to Shan Province, but He Xu didn't say anything, and he didn't ask anymore. Anyway, he should know, and he could naturally get the news through his own channels.

"Brother, you have to be careful."

He Xu stroked Xiao Lin's hair, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, big brother is doing business."

Not long after He Xu left Beijing, Xiao Lin received a call from He Xingjun before he had time to inquire about the news.

"Linlin, come to Shanghai as soon as possible, there is something you need to do."

Xiao Lin was taken aback, "Third Uncle, why are you in such a hurry?"

He Xingjun also felt that what he said just now was a bit out of date, so he laughed dryly and said, "Linlin, it's like this, diamond sales are booming recently, and the company's diamond storage is insufficient, so we need to send high-level executives to South Africa to purchase goods.

Now our company is too big, and you, Uncle Li Yan, and I have no skills, so you, the big shareholder who doesn't care about anything, can only go there in person. "

Today's diamonds are extremely popular, especially when young people get married, they will exchange diamond rings at the wedding scene.

Although He Xingjun has stored a large amount of diamonds, he still underestimated the popularity of the domestic diamond market. Before the end of the year, the diamonds in storage were already running out.

This time, I want to buy about [-] million US dollars of loose diamonds. If such a large amount of money is not handed over to a reliable person, it will definitely not work.

After thinking about it, He Xingjun thought of Xiao Lin who had been at home all the time.

Xiao Lin is not only a shareholder in the company, but also has rich experience in treasure appraisal. It is definitely the best choice for him to go to South Africa to purchase diamonds.

Xiao Lin thinks about how he has never really contributed to the company in these years, and he feels ashamed to receive dividends every year.

After hearing the mission ordered by He Xingjun, Xiao Lin happily agreed: "Okay, third uncle. When are you leaving?"

He Xingjun said: "Tomorrow the company will send a special plane to take you there. But... Linlin, South Africa is not peaceful. I remember that you have several bodyguards under your command. Take them with you this time."

Xiao Lin's knowledge of South Africa is only in books. He knows that it is one of the top five mineral producing countries in the world, especially rich in diamond reserves.As for the humanistic environment there, Xiao Lin really didn't know much about it.

For his own safety, Xiao Lin took Nie Cheng and Song Niansheng to Shanghai.

Marlowe and Li Jiang stayed in the capital and continued to improve the security measures of the Huangwei Courtyard.

Nowadays, all the priceless treasures are stored in the courtyard, and it will make people feel distressed to lose one.So before leaving, Xiao Lin once again told Marlowe and the others to transform the courtyard into an iron barrel.

Time was short, Xiao Lin had a rest in Shanghai for one night, and then boarded a special plane to South Africa.

When they arrived in Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa, it was already late, and under the escort of Nie Cheng and the others, Xiao Lin arrived at the hotel he had reserved.

Xiao Lin didn't pay much attention to what Uncle He said about the poor public security in South Africa.

It's just that along the way, it won't be long before someone's screaming can be heard.In front of the hotel, he even witnessed a thrilling robbery, and Xiao Lin's precautions were greatly increased.

This is a foreign country, they must be vigilant and pay attention to their own safety.

Seeing Xiao Lin's face change, Nie Cheng said softly: "Xiao Lin, although Johannesburg is a capital of wealth, it is also the city with the highest crime rate in the world. It's lucky that we only saw one robbery case along the way. .”

Xiao Lin frowned, "Brother Nie, we plan to stay here for five days. I think we should stay in the hotel during the rest of the time except for buying diamonds. This will ensure our personal safety to the greatest extent."

Nie Cheng nodded in agreement.

He and Song Niansheng were Xiao Lin's bodyguards.If Xiao Lin wanted to go out for a stroll, their task would be even heavier.

Although the two of them had good skills, if they encountered too many enemies, it would be difficult to completely guarantee Xiao Lin's safety.

Now that Xiao Lin proposed to stay in the hotel more, Nie Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, if he hadn't witnessed the chaos in South Africa, Xiao Lin might have thought about going shopping.

Now, he would rather stay honestly than become another victimized foreigner in the news.

Originally, the hotel arranged single rooms for several people, but considering the security here, Xiao Lin changed it to a suite.

The first night was relatively quiet, but the next morning, Nie Cheng walked into Xiao Lin's room, "Xiao Lin, call."

Xiao Lin took the satellite phone, "Third Uncle?"

He Xingjun smiled and said, "Linlin, I have already contacted the local office for you. At about ten o'clock, security personnel will pick you up and take you to the diamond trading center. They are all foreign ex-soldiers with rich experience."

"Well, I see."

At ten o'clock, the office sent someone to pick up Xiao Lin.

Judging by the figure and dress, the people who came here should be well-trained professional bodyguards.

This time the office sent a total of two cars, Xiao Lin and the others sat in the back car, and the front car was responsible for opening the way.

There were very few cars on the road, so the speed was very fast. After about half an hour, the car stopped in a yard.

Xiao Lin didn't know if he was too sensitive, but when he got out of the car, he felt very uncomfortable.

Nie Cheng walked to Xiao Lin's side and said softly, "There are people nearby who are watching us, and they should be trying to trick us."

Xiao Lin frowned slightly, "Is there any danger?"

"Under the protection of these people, it should be fine."

The bodyguards at the office saw Xiao Lin and the others stop, and one of them stepped forward and explained: "Sir, as long as you enter the trading hall, you will be fine. This is just a parking lot and is not protected by the Diamond Exchange."

Xiao Lin nodded when he saw the heavily guarded house ahead.Walked over quickly.

When they came to the gate, the group was stopped by several security guards with live ammunition in front of the gate.

Only Xiao Lin who has a trading license can go in, and everyone else, including Nie Cheng and Song Niansheng, must stay outside.

"Xiao Lin, we are waiting for you here." Nie Cheng said.

Seeing Xiao Lin feeling a little apprehensive, Nie Cheng said again: "The exchange will guarantee the safety of customers, so don't worry too much..."

Xiao Lin could be considered to have grown up in a peaceful age, and it was the first time he came to such a dangerous place. Although he wanted to appear calm, overall it was not satisfactory.

After calming down, Xiao Lin walked into the trading hall.

"Hello, sir, what service do you need?" A white man in his 20s stepped forward and asked.

As soon as he entered the door, someone greeted him, and Xiao Lin heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hello, I need to see the diamond auction list. Also, arrange a room for me to see the goods."

"Okay, sir, please come with me..."

After proving the funds he brought, Xiao Lin saw a quotation.

The diamonds here are not bought with a bid, but are bid by different merchants, and the one with the highest price finally gets it.

Xiao Lin saw that all the diamonds listed on the top were large carats. Thinking about the basic situation of domestic diamond sales, Xiao Lin decided to buy some ordinary ones.

Two hundred million dollars sounds like a lot, but the diamonds here cost several million dollars. If you buy those tens of carats of diamonds, you will definitely not be able to buy a few.

Xiao Lin thought about the domestic purchasing power, and decided to choose more loose diamonds of one to three carats, and buy some diamonds of higher purity and quality with the remaining funds.

As for the best diamonds, just buy one or two. After all, there are not too many big customers.

After deciding on the type of diamonds to buy, Xiao Lin filled out the auction form and inspected several high-quality diamonds before leaving the trading center.

After returning to the hotel safely, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Every minute that passes in South Africa feels tense.

Before Xiao Lin could order food, the doorbell rang.

Nie Cheng and Song Niansheng looked at each other, and touched the guns on their waists in unison.

Xiao Lin's phone rang at this moment, "Hello?"

"Xiao, I'm right outside your door, let someone open the door for me." The familiar French tone came, and Xiao Lin was taken aback.

"Viscount Brissac?"

"It's me, open the door."

After the Viscount Brissack was invited in, Xiao Lin asked, "Master Viscount, why did you come to South Africa?"

Viscount Brissac smiled, "Finance is risky. After I made a fortune last time, I invested in a mine here. Xiao, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to help the company purchase a batch of diamonds."

"Oh, then you have to be careful. There are people here who attack merchants who buy diamonds."

Xiao Lin nodded. Although he had only been here for two days, he could already feel the tense atmosphere around him.

Not wanting to talk about this unpleasant matter, Xiao Lin asked, "Master Viscount, didn't you bring your lover with you this time?"

Who is Xiao Lin's lover, Brisac naturally knows.Youyou sighed, and said, "Oh! Jack has returned home."

"What?" Xiao Lin was startled.

Liu Jie actually returned to China?Wasn't he reluctant to part with the Viscount Brissac?Why did you return home suddenly?

Viscount Brissac was in a bad mood, "Jack said that his relatives in China had ordered him to stop his living expenses if he didn't return to China. I said I could give him the living expenses, but Jack didn't want to, so he went back."

Xiao Lin felt that the matter would not be so simple, so he frowned and asked, "Then has he contacted you since he returned to China?"

The Viscount Brissac was full of disappointment, "I contacted him, and he said that his family wanted him to marry a woman from an aristocratic family."

marry?Liu Jie?

Xiao Lin looked at the Viscount Brissac suspiciously. Could it be that this person failed to train Liu Jie successfully? Otherwise, how could Liu Jie marry a woman?
