James was a little out of control, but Gao Yang understood his feelings very much. There were only two types of people who could still remain calm in front of this red diamond, the blind man and the fool.

James was still muttering to himself.

"No! I can't believe it is true. I can't accept that there are such perfect red diamonds in the world. You must be planning to tease me, right? Gentlemen, such jokes are not funny. Please don't joke like this with me! No, no, please tell me, you are not joking with me, nor are you going to tease me. Please tell me clearly that what is placed in front of me is indeed a diamond, not a counterfeit product."

Morgan smiled and said, "Mr. James, when I first saw that big thing, I was as surprised as you. Don't be surprised anymore. If you can't believe your eyes, then take a look."

After touching his heart, James sat back in front of the round table, took a deep breath, just picked it up and took a look, and immediately sighed: "God, it's true!"

After holding the diamond in his hand for a long time, James did not put the diamond under the electronic magnifying glass like before. When Gao Yang was a little impatient, James finally placed the diamond under the electronic magnifying glass.

After looking carefully for a long time, James raised his head and thought for a while before sighing: "I am trying to use a more accurate word to describe this diamond to express my surprise and excitement at it, and by the way, I can express my concentration. But I failed and I can't find a suitable word to describe it. If I have to say something, I can only say it is flawless."

Gao Yang took a deep breath and smiled, "Mr. James, how much do you think it is worth?"

After James waved his hand firmly, he said firmly: "Priceless! There is no price, no price that can be used as a reference. This diamond is ten million. One million is it, and one billion is also it. If it is placed in an auction store, if the buyer happens to be obsessed with this diamond, it is normal to sell it for hundreds of millions of dollars, but if you want a reasonable reference value, I can only tell you that it is not."

After saying that, James thought for a moment and said, "The grade of colored diamonds is different from colorless diamonds. Common colored diamonds include blue, pink, green, and black, and red, especially this pure red, is extremely rare. So far, the largest red diamond has been auctioned, called Musayev Red Diamond. Have you heard of this name?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No."

Morgan also smiled and said, "Before today, I have never paid attention to diamonds."

James said in a deep voice: "The cutting form of the Musayev red diamond is a bright triangle. The color rating given by Gia is red diamond, which is a pure red diamond without any variegated colors. It was discovered in Brazil in 1960 that the first auction price was seven million US dollars. But Musayev red diamond is the largest red diamond ever seen by Gia.

, Do you know how heavy this one is? I estimate it. At least one hundred and fifty carats! It is one hundred and fifty carats! And the shape is very regular. If you want to cut and polish, the loss will be very small. I estimate that the weight of the cut naked diamond should be about one hundred carats, which is twenty times that of Musayev's red diamond!"

Gao Yang whispered: "Twenty times the seven million dollars? One hundred and forty million dollars, well, a lot."

James chuckled and said, "Sir, are you kidding? First of all, let's not say that the $7 million USD of Musayev's red diamond was the auction price more than fifty years ago. Well, I'd better use Musayev's red diamond as an example. It's hard to estimate how much the Musayev's red diamond is worth at present. The owner can offer a price at will, because at international auctions, almost no red diamonds have appeared in recent decades."

James waved his hand and said helplessly: "In 2010,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Gao Yang had nothing to say, but Morgan said in surprise: "Farke, can such a thing be sold for 500 million? How to operate it?"

James shrugged and said, "First of all, it's certain. I expect the insurance cost, plus the processing cost of cutting and grinding, will cost $50 million."

Gao Yang almost choked by his saliva, and then he said in surprise: "The processing fee is 50 million US dollars? Are you sure you are not talking about lira or yen or something?"

James shrugged and said, "Diamonds themselves are valuable, but they have to depend on the polishing process. Otherwise, why did Antwerp monopolize the industry?"

Gao Yang took a breath of air conditioning, and Morgan said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I can help you with the polishing fee, I'll lend it to you."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. I can sell more anyway, I will pay you back after I sell it."

James smiled bitterly again and said, "Sorry, very sorry, given the particularity of the diamond industry, I think you may not be able to get the desired selling price. This is a monopoly industry. If you just sell raw diamonds, well, it's between about 10 million and 50 million US dollars, because there is now a Kimberley Process rough diamond international certificate system. If your diamond cannot prove the origin and legality, it cannot be traded legally."

Morgan said confidently: "I think this is not a problem, I can find someone to help."

James shook his head and said, "Sir, you have to understand one thing. If this diamond is worth millions or even tens of millions, then you should be able to find someone to help, but if it is worth hundreds of millions, it will cause a global sensation as soon as it appears. Unless they can buy this diamond at a low price with a monopoly advantage. Otherwise, they will definitely choose to refuse. One thing I have to point out is that only large companies dare to eat it. Even if a small company wants to buy this diamond, whether it can take out at least hundreds of millions of dollars in cash is a big problem."

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "If I pay for the money to cut and polish and sell it myself, will it be OK?"

James shook his head and said, "You can polish it, no one will refuse this business, but you can't auction it, you can only try the transaction. If you trade privately, the value will be much lower."

Gao Yang glanced at Morgan and then smiled bitterly, "It seems that becoming a billionaire is not that simple."

Morgan said in a deep voice: "Of course it's not that simple. It's not that easy to do anything in this world, but I firmly believe that as long as you work hard, you will always have the opportunity to fulfill your wish."

After lowering his head and pondering for a while, Morgan knocked on the table and said, "Gao, I have a suggestion to keep this diamond for a while, don't rush to take action. It's too much of a loss in rush to take action. Since we are planning to open a regular mine, we have a way to clean the diamond without asking anyone for it. Just wait for two years. This diamond can be sold for hundreds of millions instead of only tens of millions of dollars. We now lack experience in this industry. If we don't want to be stucked by others, we can only take it slowly."

If you can simply sell the diamond, Gao Yang will borrow Morgan's money to polish it and then pay it back. But if it requires a very complicated operation and Morgan has to come forward to get it done, it cannot be as simple as borrowing money. Gao Yang thought for a moment and nodded and said, "Okay, you can operate it. We will sell half of the money."

Morgan thought for a while and said, "No, business is business. I am happy to invest in this diamond, but I cannot be greedy. This way, I will pay for cutting and polishing. After excluding the cost of selling, I will take 10% of the selling price."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."

At this time, James laughed and said, "I took the liberty to put it in. If you plan to cut it and sell it, you can't be anxious, because there are too many processes to cut this diamond. It takes several months to design the cutting shape alone. In addition, it takes at least nearly a year to pass. Cutting diamonds is risky, and you must find an insurance company that is willing to take risks. Negotiating prices and other things is time. There is a mature operating system in Antwerp, but if you want to cut a diamond that cannot prove its origin, there are many things to do. So, I can only advise you not to worry and take everything slowly."

Gao Yang's face collapsed, and Morgan also looked helpless. After shrugging, he said to Gao Yang: "Okay, it seems you can only keep it for a while. If you still need me to help you, it's fine if you don't, because we have a diamond mine, and I think you will have enough money to cut it soon."

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to take action as soon as possible, but now it seems, okay, I'll keep it."

At this time, James said in a deep voice: "Does it have a name? This diamond must have a loud name to match it, such as the African Star, such as the Mountain of Light, the Sea of ​​Light, such as Hope... Oh no, I'd better ignore this name, so does this diamond have a name?"

Morgan smiled and said, "As the discoverer, Gao, I think you should really give it a name."

James mentioned the Star of Hope. Although he didn't finish it, Gao Yang felt very unlucky. After thinking for a while, Gao Yang said without hesitation: "Lucky Star, I want to call him the Star of Lucky."

Morgan nodded and said, "Very good, I think this name is great."

James also smiled and said, "If you are the discoverer of Lucky Star, then I have to say that you are really very, very lucky."

Gao Yang held the lucky star in his hand, looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed: "I may have to keep it for a long time, I hope it will bring me good luck, no, it must bring me a lot of distance!" (To be continued)

ps: This diamond will not be sold for money at all. It is of great use, otherwise I would not have been writing in detail all the time. It would be very troublesome to check the information...

Well, I didn't want to spoil it, but the pit was dug deeper, so it would be better to say it, so you won't forget...
