A doctor who travels through two eras

Queen's Road Central, New World Building, in front of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Store.

Five minibuses drove over in a flash, and then a group of muscular bodyguards got out of the cars. Although they were not wearing sunglasses or suits, the murderous aura they exuded could not be concealed.

An experienced person would know at a glance that these are killers who came down from the battlefield, and are definitely not gangsters from ordinary gangs.

So when the security guards of Zhou Tai Fook's main store saw this situation, they immediately and quietly raised the security level. All the security guards pretended to stand on both sides of the gate, and some of them were already preparing their weapons.

In the 1960s, not to mention robbing gold shops, there were also many robberies in Hong Kong. Some of the robberies were from local gangs, some were remnants of mainland soldiers who fled to Hong Kong, and some were South Vietnamese refugees. The public security was quite chaotic.

After receiving the news, the store manager Yu Yingzhang quickly came out of the office and pretended to greet them at the store door.

Anyway, judging from the situation, the other party is either a super wealthy customer or a super brave robber, and he can't afford to offend either of them.

Lin Sanqi wore sunglasses, had a small mustache on his lips, and was dressed in a white casual suit. He looked like a second-generation rich kid and a wealthy man.

After getting off the bus, Lin Sanqi looked up at Zhou Taifu's huge signboard and waved:
"Let's go. You have to protect me from now on. Got it?"

These 20 people claim to be bodyguards, but in fact they are our country’s special agents secretly stationed in Hong Kong. They are in their thirties and have all traveled to South Korea.

Because these people were from Dongguang Province and could speak Cantonese, they were arranged by the organization to go to Hong Kong.

So when such a group of serious people heard Lin Sanqi's indecent words, they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and could only pretend to be indifferent.

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Sanqi walked to the store door with a reckless step, and the store manager Yu Yingzhang immediately came to greet him:
"Hello, sir. I am the store manager. You can call me Yu Zai. How can I help you?"

Manager Yu understands the principle of not hitting someone who smiles at him, so he is very humble. A man in his 40s calls himself Yu Zai.

Lin Sanqi shook his legs, held a cigar in his mouth, and said arrogantly:
"Manager Yu, right? Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you any trouble. Tell all the security guards in your store to withdraw. I'm here to discuss a big deal with you. I guarantee you'll make a fortune."

Manager Yu continued to smile and asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"Ling Ling Ran."

Manager Yu rolled his eyes in his heart and thought, why don’t you call 008 and have good luck all the way.

"Mr. Ling, please come in and have a cup of tea. Your subordinates..."

Lin Sanqi waved his hand:
"The others are waiting for me outside. You, and you come in with me. If I don't come out within an hour and I don't see those two, you rush in and rescue this young master."

"Yes!"

Manager Yu once again looked down upon him in his heart, wondering where this nouveau riche came from.

After entering the store and serving coffee, Manager Yu politely asked:
"Mr. Ling, right? Are you going to buy or sell this big business?"

It's not easy to be a store manager, especially if you are the manager of the head office. Zhou Tai Fook's headquarters is on the upper floor of the New World Building. It's not easy to be a store manager under the emperor.

"Of course I sell it!"

"So what does Mr. Ling want to sell to us?"

Lin Sanqi nodded, and a bodyguard as strong as Zhang Fei opened a password box, revealing several velvet black bags inside.

Lin Sanqi picked up the bag and threw it casually on the table, making a sound of broken stones colliding.

"Manager Yu, take a look at the things inside. Can you say it's a big deal?"

Yu Xingzhang had a guess in his mind. He took the bag and took a quick look inside. His breathing stopped immediately.

Under the light, the inside of the bag was sparkling. Manager Yu was an experienced jeweller for many years and he knew immediately that there were diamonds inside.

And it’s a big diamond!

Manager Yu quickly tied the bag tightly and said seriously, "Boss Lin, do you mind if I ask someone to identify it?"

"random!"

"Boss Lin, this business is too big, and I don't have enough authority. Could you please move to the VIP room? I'll let my boss come and talk to you." Lin Sanqi stood up at once: "Let's go, hurry up, I still have to go to Haojiang to play a few games."

In the VIP room.

Zhou Taifu's general manager Zeng Yutong was chatting politely with Lin Sanqi while glancing at the diamond appraiser next to him, appearing absent-minded.

Lin Sanqi was also absent-minded. Although he acted like he didn't sit or stand properly, looking like a nouveau riche, he was actually extremely nervous inside.

After all, he knew that his diamond was fake, and he was betting that the other party would not be able to identify it.

If the other party is an experienced person and can tell at a glance that it is a fake diamond, then being sent to the police station is a small matter. But if he is poured with cement and thrown into the South China Sea to plant lotus, then he is doomed.

The gangs in Hong Kong are scary, but the local gangs in Hong Kong are just dogs raised by the rich. They will bite whoever they are told to bite, and there is no logic to it.

In fact, Lin Sanqi was worrying too much. Although there were diamonds in the world in 1960, they were all used in industry and could not be compared with gem-grade diamonds. They were obviously fake at first glance.

It will take decades for top-quality goods like Henan fake diamonds to be produced. No one in the world has ever seen them, so it would be strange if they could be identified as real or fake.

This is just like the stimulants used by American athletes. Their faces have all turned purple. Do you think it is possible that they didn't use stimulants?
It's just that the doping of the Americans is more advanced, and the Olympic Committee cannot detect it with the existing means. But as an official, if it cannot be detected, you cannot convict them even if you have suspicions.

Zhou Taifu's appraiser wore a magnifying glass on his eyes and carefully identified the diamonds on the plate one by one.

Originally thought to be only an hour or two of appraisal, it took most of the day. In the afternoon, the appraiser finally straightened up, exhausted but excited.

Don’t ask why we don’t hire more appraisers. We’re just afraid of leaks.

In 1960, 90% of the world's diamonds were controlled by De Beers. This company was very domineering. You either use my goods, or if you dare to use other people's goods, I will simply stop supplying you and ban you.

Therefore, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, unless they are close confidants.

"Manager Zeng, I have appraised these diamonds. There are no problems with their color, clarity, and cut. The color reaches the highest standard of D grade, and the clarity reaches VVVS grade. They are better than all the diamonds in our store. They are absolutely top-quality."

Zeng Yutong was also delighted, "Is it genuine?"

The appraiser said confidently: "If these diamonds are fake, then all diamonds on the market now are fake."

Lin Sanqi was secretly delighted, thinking that he would definitely give this appraiser a big red envelope later.

Zeng Yutong's eyes were shining as he looked at the diamonds on the plate in front of him.

Jewelry stores actually have the same function as Chinese medicine clinics.

For example, for a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, whoever can get top-quality medicinal materials, such as top-quality wild ginseng, top-quality cordyceps, top-quality polygonatum, etc., will become the darling of the patients.

By the same token, for jewelry stores, whoever can get the top-quality gemstones can become the darling of the wealthy circle.

Rich families are not short of money, what they want is something "special".

If you don’t believe it, go and see the gatherings of rich wives. Those women are competing to see whose clothes are designed by celebrities, whose bags are limited edition, and whose jewelry is more top-notch and luxurious.

Just like the wife of India's richest man, in any photo, the gems she wears are as big as eggs, including diamonds. This is status, this is self-confidence, it reflects a kind of privilege, and what she is fighting for is face.

As the actual helmsman of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Store, Zeng Yutong has great vision, otherwise it would not have been possible for the family to become one of the four major families in Hong Kong in the future.

Since this second-generation rich guy from the other side was the first one to come to them, Zhou Taifu, instead of other jewelry stores, they naturally had to do their best to stay, otherwise they would be aiding the enemy.

"Mr. Ling, I'm a down-to-earth person and I don't like beating around the bush. I'm very satisfied with these diamonds and I like them very much, so I bought them all. But the source of these diamonds..."

After all, Zeng Yutong at this age had not grown up yet and was afraid of offending others, so he naturally wanted to ask clearly.

Lin Sanqi casually replied in Cantonese:

"My family has a diamond mine in Africa, which was originally managed by my father. It's not that I couldn't stand the poor and remote areas of Africa, so I ran back alone. I didn't have any money for the trip, so I had to sell some diamonds."

Zeng Yutong looked at Lin Sanqi's behavior and felt that he really was an uneducated second-generation rich man. It was indeed possible that he had stolen the diamonds from his home and was selling them.

If so, he would be relieved. (End of this chapter)
