A doctor who travels through two eras

Huadu Gifts and Crafts Wholesale Market.

Lin Sanqi and his cousin Lin Qiang were wandering around in the market, moving in one direction.

Lin Qiang looked at the little brother next to him, wanting to say something but stopping himself, with a constipated look on his face.

Lin Sanqi was unhappy when he saw this: "Brother Qiang, just say whatever you want to say. Don't you think I'm welcome to see you? Then I'll leave?"

Lin Qiang quickly put his arm around his little brother's shoulders and said earnestly:

"Qizi, I heard from Grandpa that you have a big business now, so I think you should not be short of money. Even if you don't have tens of millions of assets, you must have millions. Look, there is no need for you to buy fake diamonds, right?

I tell you, if your reputation for picking up girls gets ruined, no girl will want to play with you anymore. Even worse, when you are getting married, if the other party comes to you and finds out that Lin Sanqi used fake diamonds to cheat someone’s body, you won’t even have a wife.”

Lin Sanqi almost spit out a mouthful of salt soda:
"Lin Laoliu, you are such a fool. Who told you that I bought fake diamonds to pick up girls? Brother, I am so handsome, tall and strong, I have good looks and money, why would I use fake A-grade goods to deceive people?"

Lin Qiang heaved a sigh of relief:

"That's good. We in the Lin family must do things uprightly and not do things that are not worthy of being mentioned in public."

In fact, Lin Qiang was afraid that Lin Sanqi would use fake diamonds to pick up girls and ruin the family's reputation. Then he would be implicated and no girl would be willing to have sex with him.

Lin Sanqi rolled his eyes at his cousin and thought that if Lin Laoliu wasn't the local boss of this wholesale market, he wouldn't have asked him to be a guide.

The two walked around the crowd and came to the second floor of the wholesale market. After turning around a few times, they arrived at the decoration area.

As soon as he reached the second floor, Lin Sanqi was almost blinded by the light. All the counters here were shining brightly, especially under the spotlight, making it impossible to open your eyes.

"Qizi, don't make trouble. These counters are all selling fake gemstones. The Henan diamonds you want are also here. I'll take you to the counter. I have a good relationship with the boss lady. I will definitely give it to you at cost price later."

Lin Sanqi followed while looking at the shops along the way.

Wow, there are all kinds of gems here, red, green, blue, purple, and yellow, each one is as beautiful as it can be. Just the row of fake jades on the counter are more translucent, crisp and green than the real ones.

It is indeed a country of copycats, there is nothing that it cannot imitate.

If there are no counterfeit goods in the country, it only proves that the product is too bad, not attractive enough, and people are too lazy to copy you. In that case, the product itself needs to reflect on itself.

Lin Qiang had already turned into a shop at this time. Lin Sanqi looked up and saw the words "Zhecheng Qinxin Diamond Wholesale Department" written on it.

Wow, diamonds are being wholesaled directly in the small single product market. Can you imagine that?

Zhecheng, Henan, is a magical small county that has caused the De Beers Group and the Youtai Group to grit their teeth in hatred and has been strongly condemned by the six major jewelry companies in the United States.

With the power of just this small county, it has brought down the global diamond market and turned top luxury gems into handicrafts that are commonplace. I just want to ask you, is this amazing? Is this amazing enough? Is this ridiculous enough?
Lin Sanqi thought, if there were more counties like this, those foreign investors who made tens of millions would be screwed.

Wait, Lin Sanqi suddenly thought that he seemed to be a small capital that was defrauding people. Those cordyceps, tangerine peel and wild ginseng seemed to be the product of capital speculation.

It’s over, the dragon slayer turned out to be a dragon himself.

However, Lin Sanqi thought that his things were worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and he was cheating rich people. This was called robbing the rich to help the poor!
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi felt much better and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to travel through time and go back to 1960 to reap some benefits.

When Lin Sanqi walked into the store, he found Lin Qiang flirting with a beautifully dressed woman. Lin Qiang pinched the woman's face, and the woman punched Lin Qiang like a spoiled child.

"Ahem, Lao Liu, I, um, should I leave first?"

"Come here, let me introduce you to this beautiful lady, the boss lady. Xiao Xinxin, this handsome guy is my younger brother, he wants to buy some diamonds for fun. Nao, introduce him to me."

Dong Qinxin glanced at Lin Sanqi and said with a smile: "Hey~~ I came here obediently, Aqiang, your brother is really handsome."

It would have been fine if she didn't speak, because she was a fashionable urban girl. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she smelled like Henan spicy soup, and Alice immediately became Zhaodi.

All Lin Sanqi was thinking about was the train he had taken from Hong Kong back to the capital. When passing through Henan, all the curtains had to be drawn, which showed that this province was very difficult.

The Central Plains is a land of suffering. Every time there is good news, there is no share, but there are always wars. For thousands of years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued. It is too tragic. "Hello, boss lady, I want to buy some diamonds."

"You can choose what you want to buy. I'll give you the cost price."

Look, people from Henan are so generous.

Lin Sanqi looked around and found that the store was filled with sparkling diamonds, some of which were diamond jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets and pendants.

Lin Sanqi thought about it and decided to get the original diamond:
"Sister, I want the best diamonds. How much do you sell them for?"

Dong Qinxin opened a row of cabinets, took out plates one by one and placed them on the table:

"Handsome boy, how big a diamond do you want? These are the best and can be made into jewelry directly. We use the inferior diamonds in industry or as scraps for some handicrafts."

Lin Qiang also came over and joked:
"When I was a kid, I watched pirated DVDs like The Diamond Thief, Ocean's Thief, and The Thief. I knew diamonds were very expensive. A small bag of diamonds could cause a gang to fight to death. Look at these diamonds in front of me. This world is so wonderful."

The lady boss rolled her eyes at Lin Qiang and said, "Are you touching the diamond or my thigh?"

Lin Qiang's hands were still on the proprietress's snow-white thighs, and he said flatteringly:
"Diamonds are cold, what's so good about touching them? How can they be compared to your thighs, which are smooth, tender, white and straight? I can play with them for a whole year."

Lin Sanqi wanted to persuade them but didn’t dare to, thinking to himself, hey brother and sister, please stop touching me, if you continue I won’t be able to publish my novel and it will be censored.

So he had no choice but to concentrate and begin to carefully study the diamond in front of him.

Lin Sanqi didn't know how to identify this thing, he just knew that when he shone it under the light, it was so bright that it was intoxicating.

"Sister, how different are these diamonds from real diamonds? Can you tell the difference?"

The lady boss flirted with Lin Qiang while casually explaining:

“What are real diamonds and fake diamonds? Actually, these are foreign terms. According to the rules of our industry, these are real diamonds. The so-called raw diamonds and synthetic diamonds are exactly the same in terms of composition, structure, physical properties and optical properties.

Understand it this way, what do you think is the difference between naturally formed ice and ice taken out of the refrigerator? "

Lin Sanqi thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is no difference. Both are formed by water, but one is formed naturally in winter, and the other is artificially made by refrigeration."

"Right? The same arrangement of carbon atoms, how can we distinguish between natural and artificial? Or how can we distinguish between domestic diamonds and foreign diamonds? Don't worry, not only ordinary women can't tell the difference, you won't be able to tell the difference even if you take it to a jewelry store.

Just to make another joke, the only difference between our Henan diamonds and foreign diamonds is that our Henan diamonds are too perfect. Natural diamonds have flaws, but ours don't.

Look at the diamonds in my store. They have D color, VVS clarity, and 3EX cut. Natural diamonds cannot achieve this.”

Lin Sanqi didn’t know what D color, VVS clarity, and 3EX cut meant, but he understood that these Henan diamonds are difficult to distinguish from natural diamonds.

Especially these top-grade artificial diamonds in front of us.

That's good. If it's difficult to identify in 2023, it would be even more difficult to identify in 64, 1960 years ago.

Okay, okay, let’s play it like this.

"Okay, sister, how much are these diamonds for?"

"Handsome boy, you are Aqiang's younger brother, so I won't charge you too much. I will give you all the diamonds at cost price. For the 1 carat and 2 carat diamonds, you can pay 1000 yuan each. The 3 gram and 4 carat diamonds are more expensive, so you can pay 1500 yuan each. The bigger the carat, the more expensive it is."

After saying that, the proprietress took out a diamond of even larger carat, which was indeed industrially produced, and was exactly the same in size and shape.

Some of them were very large. The proprietress took out one and joked:

"No, this diamond is called the Star of Africa, and it is known as the king of diamonds. It weighs 530.02 carats and has 74 facets. It is exactly the same as the one on the scepter of the King of Eagle Country. If you can sell it, it will be worth 20 billion US dollars now."

Lin Sanqi thought that if he sold the diamond on the old woman's scepter, the Queen of England would go crazy. (End of this chapter)
