Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1373 The madness in Angola begins

"Mr. Ji, there are many gold mines in this mountain like Li Guirong. Many of them came from China to prospect for gold, and they do the same thing. I bought land with some local chiefs, and then alluvial gold, the upper leadership is right This kind of thing will be dealt with severely."

"It is destined that alluvial gold here is just a temporary measure, and will basically be banned in three to five years. In the meantime, this place has turned a blind eye, and some black-hearted bosses will work hard to squeeze the workers, regardless of life or death. If they die, the workers will be relieved... …”

It's time to leave today, Ran Bo whispered to Ji Donglai seemingly unintentionally, Ji Donglai just looked at each other and didn't care.

After all, in this primitive environment, as long as nothing happens to your own people, that's fine.

Moreover, there are ebony and sandalwood in this mountain, so many people take risks. It didn't have much to do with him, so he didn't continue. Ran Bo nodded at the few colleagues he left behind, and what happened next was not under Ji Donglai's management.

Following the river into the predetermined port, the group drove south. Ji Donglai, Ran Bo and the others were all wrapped in headscarves, and the curtains were drawn in the car.

The bad road conditions were not bad at all. Although Ji Donglai had made sufficient preparations, he was still shaken up.

Dai Fengxian didn't get the exact date of Ji Dong's arrival, and he didn't wait at the office. Instead, he went with the local guide to receive the goods. When Ji Donglai entered the office, the local people regarded Ji Donglai as a local clerk and immediately surrounded him.

"They said they have diamonds and hope to negotiate the price with us. They also have rough stones. We have to go to their place to see them."

Ran Bo was accompanied by Yang Xue's assistant. Yang Xue originally wanted him to choose something to go back to in Dubai, but this time Ji Donglai specially brought Angola.

“Look at the price!”

Yang Xue's assistant motioned to the other party to take out the diamonds. They were all about the size of corn kernels, with average color and a handful as big as a child's hand.

"Three hundred and fifty dollars a pop!"

After looking at the diamonds, the assistant asked about the translation price. The translator opened his mouth and the assistant put the diamonds back directly.

"Tell them to get lost. This is five times the price. Who the hell is crazy enough to travel so far to buy goods at five times the price? Get out!"

Although the quality of the diamonds here is good, the price of this thing is not high. Especially in the country of origin of diamonds, they are not very valuable at all. Basically, twenty dollars a piece is enough.

It can be valuable when trafficked to places like Dubai, and it can also be valuable after being trafficked to China. Half a goat in the local area is worth more than this. When the other party saw that the price in China was five times higher, the translator immediately turned his back.

"He said we can still talk..."

Seeing that the assistant was angry, the seller asked the translator to speak again.

"It's fifteen dollars a piece. If it sells, we'll buy it. If it doesn't sell, we'll throw it away!"

The assistant showed no signs of weakness. After all, this item is not the main sales force in the store. At present, the main force of domestic consumption is awakening, especially the wealthy people are looking more for jade.

Diamonds are very expensive when bought, and cannot be circulated in the luxury goods circle when they change hands. Especially in the West, diamonds are not valuable, and people care more about gold.

This can be seen from people's choices when buying for zero yuan. Diamonds are more inlaid on drill bits. Only women who have never seen the world in China can afford to say what follows. To put it bluntly, their knowledge is still shallow. It's just that there is an element of gambling in this thing. The market determines the price. If you really can't sell it back in August last year, there is room for processing fees and free stores. There is room for exhibitions.

Hearing the price given by the assistant, the diamond seller crackled again. The assistant ignored him and turned around to discuss the next itinerary with Ji Donglai and his gang.

"He asked if he could add a little more?"

The local’s bravado didn’t get the response it deserved, and the sales pitch continued.

"No more than fifteen yuan, don't sell it if you like it! We want to buy a goat. If he has a goat, we will buy one. Diamonds are optional!"

Facing the diamond dealer, the assistant was not polite at all.

There were various translations over there, and I finally bought them for fifteen dollars each. Ji Donglai and several people were so excited to see it, but when the translator poured the diamonds on the table, they shouted that he was an expert.

There are some diamonds inside that are only the size of rice grains, and there are also some crooked melons and cracked dates, but the ones we just saw are clearly the size of corn grains.

"Don't be fooled by their so-called simplicity. The poorer the people in this world, the more they will lie. Sometimes they even say that their family members died in the mines for these diamonds. Some people say that these are the so-called pillar industries of their families. , are actually all fake.”

"The places where diamonds are produced are rich mines, otherwise they would not produce diamonds. What is the concept of rich mines? Take a basket and dig out a basket in someone else's mine, then sift through the river and you can find several diamonds."

"In all the documentaries you watch, the things like digging hundreds of meters underground are fake. Only gold miners would go to such great lengths. What if diamond miners go to such great lengths and get nothing? This thing is being acquired now The prices are very low and there are a lot of artificial diamonds.”

"Investment and return must be directly proportional to be valuable. Only fools believe that this thing is rare. When we sell things in the store, sometimes we give diamonds as gifts, especially small ones, and let customers choose and pay the processing fee. You can give it to them. In fact, it is a disguised form of betrayal."

"Otherwise, you would think that rich people nowadays are stupid. Mr. Yang has high-end customers. The more such customers are, the more clearly they know what diamonds are, so we don't have a good look when dealing with these diamond dealers."

I took a magnifying glass and carefully looked at the quality of each diamond to prevent glass particles from getting mixed in. The assistant inspected each diamond one by one. The diamond dealer over there kept urging, but the assistant still took his time and the other person reached out and thought. To take the things away, the assistant took off his glasses and yelled at the other person.

"You are paralyzed. If you want to sell it, sell it. If you don't sell it, get out! There is one-third of the glass particles here in Cao Nima. Do you want to get involved?"

Pointing to a pile of selected glass fragments, the assistant pointed at the dealer who came to sell diamonds and cursed him. The dealer immediately put away all the diamonds and went out, looking at the assistant fiercely.

According to the number just selected, only seventy-five of the diamonds in the pack are diamonds, and the rest are fake.

Ji Donglai and everyone pointed their thumbs at the assistant, secretly thinking that he was definitely an expert. Several people were talking, and the diamond dealer just now was back again.

"He said just pay the amount he just paid. His wife has given birth to a baby and needs money urgently, otherwise he would never sell it. He also bought this from others, it is not his own thing, and he has mixed things in it. have no idea."
