A doctor who travels through two eras

As long as it wasn't a robbery of De Beers' diamond warehouse or the secret fund of some foreign politician, Zeng Yutong was confident that he could handle other matters. After all, he still had the power in Hong Kong.

Even if his father is unhappy, who cares about Zeng Yutong? He bought it with real money, so he can only blame this second-generation rich kid.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yutong completely relaxed and asked with a smile:
"So, Mr. Ling, what is your price for this batch of diamonds? Let's see if our Zhou Taifu can afford it?"

Lin Sanqi did not take out all the fake diamonds, but only some of them, which added up to 200 pieces, ranging from one carat to 10 carats, but mainly large carats, and one or two carats were just to make up the number.

There are 200 top-quality large diamonds. Just imagine with your toes that the price will be sky-high.

How could Lin Sanqi know how much diamonds were worth in 1960?

Let alone 1960, he didn't even know how much diamonds were worth in 2013. After all, he was just a poor man from an urban village and had never bought a diamond ring before.

"Boss Zeng, you're making trouble. You just said you were a straightforward person, but now you're not. So, name a price. How much are you willing to pay for it? If the price is right, I'll sell it to you. If not, I'll look for another one.

If I can’t afford the food in Hong Kong, I’ll go to Taiwan or the US. If that doesn’t work, I’ll mortgage it to the casinos in Macau.”

Zeng Yutong thought to himself, after all, he came from a wealthy family, even if he was a second-generation rich man, he would still have his own ideas.

Zeng Yutong was a little confused when he was asked to bid. All businessmen want to make money. If he bid too low, the other party would not agree. If he bid too high, he would not make any money.

However, those who can become one of the four major families in the future still have some vision. They want to get something cheaper, but they have never thought of bullying other people's children.

"Well, Mr. Ling, since this is a business, you want to make money, and I certainly want to make money too, so let's compromise and give it a 7% discount on the current market price. What do you think?"

Even though 7% off seems very low, you should know that if something of unknown origin can be given a 5% discount it is considered quite good.

Lin Sanqi pretended to think about it for a while, then nodded:

"7% off? Boss Zeng knows how to do business. I can get the same price if I go to a mortgage company. Okay, I'm too lazy to go there. You can calculate how much it will cost in total?"

Zeng Yuyi was overjoyed when he saw that the other party agreed.

This 3% saving is equivalent to several million dollars in profit.

The key point is that when this kind of top-grade diamond is retailed in the future, the price will naturally be much higher than the market price, which is equivalent to making extra profit.

Because the diamonds were of different sizes, the appraiser began to classify them, and then began to calculate the prices under the supervision of one of Lin Sanqi's bodyguards.

After a while, the price came out, and the appraiser listed the price details one by one. Zeng Yutong took it and handed it to Lin Sanqi personally:
"Mr. Ling, please take a look."

Lin Sanqi took it and took a look. It said 800 million US dollars.

He sighed inwardly: during this period, the mainland's foreign exchange reserves were only 4000 million US dollars, and these fake diamonds directly accounted for one-fifth of the national treasury.

As expected, as long as you are brave enough, Sadako can take maternity leave.

Lin Sanqi touched the 40-carat fake diamond in his pocket and thought, since he wants to rip people off, he might as well rip them off all at once.

"Boss Zeng, 800 million US dollars, ahem, is not enough to fill my hole. So, I still have a big diamond. How much can you give me?"

After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out a big diamond from his pocket and placed it on the tray.

Zeng Yutong and the appraiser narrowed their eyes immediately, and then they both took a breath of cold air: "This big?"

Lin Sanqi thought, what's so big about it? I just took out 40 carats. If you want bigger ones, Dong Qinxin's store even has 500 carats of diamonds. It won't scare you to death.

Zeng Yutong immediately signaled the appraiser with his eyes, and the appraiser did not hesitate to pick up the diamond and study it carefully.

After a long while, the appraiser closed his mouth and exclaimed:
"I have never seen such a perfect pigeon egg in my life. Oh no, it should be called goose egg. Perfect clarity, perfect color, perfect cut. It seems that it is not something of this world, but a gift from God. Boss..."

Zeng Yutong understood immediately that this was the appraiser's advice that he must not miss.

40-carat diamonds do exist, but such a perfect 40-carat diamond is unique in the world and its value is inestimable.

Zeng Yutong was also excited. This diamond could be regarded as the treasure of his store. When it was exhibited, it would shock not only Hong Kong, but also the whole Southeast Asia. The advertising effect alone would be worth a thousand bucks.

"Mr. Ling, are you really willing to sell this goose egg? What if your father..."

Lin Sanqi said casually:

"My family has more than one diamond like this. It won't kill my old man. Don't worry. At most, if it's discovered, I'll be hung up and beaten. I'm used to it. Anyway, I'm the only son of my father. He won't dare to beat me to death!"

Zeng Yutong thought to himself, I wonder which unlucky family gave birth to such a prodigal son. If it was his own son, he would beat him to death.

(Unfortunately, he only had four daughters and no sons in his life, so in the end, all the family property went to his four sons-in-law.)
"How about this, Mr. Ling, let's round it up. I'll give you 1000 million US dollars for all your diamonds. How about that?"

Lin Sanqi thought, a fake diamond alone is worth 200 million US dollars. It is indeed a gold belt for murder and arson. One cannot become rich without unexpected wealth.

(Refer to Jacqueline, wife of US President Kennedy, who had a 40.42 carat marquise-cut diamond worth $60 million in the 260s)
"Okay, I agree to $1000 million, but Boss Zeng, let me make this clear first. I want the money today, otherwise I won't sell it."

Zeng Yutong frowned and immediately calculated the company's and family's savings. Even if he urgently borrowed money from other wealthy people, it seemed that he would not be able to raise 1000 million US dollars in one night.

"Mr. Ling, 1000 million US dollars is not a small amount. I can't collect it all in one night. Can you give me a few days?"

Lin Sanqi thought that this was a one-time deal and I even put on makeup for it. If I waited a few more days, there would be too many variables.

1000 million US dollars is enough for the entire Hong Kong underworld, and even officials to issue a hunting order to seize the treasure.

In this regard, Lin Sanqi has also thought of other ways:

"Boss Zeng, if you don't have cash, you can use gold as collateral. You are such a big jewelry store, don't say you don't have gold."

Zeng Yutong did have some small thoughts, but when he thought about the 20 armed bodyguards outside and the power behind this young man, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a warlord who dared to open a mine in Africa and snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

If they really had to confront this kind of family and kill their only son, I'm afraid the Zeng family would also be hunted down endlessly.

Since you have already earned what you deserve, then don't think about some other money. The long-term solution is for everyone to make money.

The Cantonese style is not to make the last penny.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yutong also nodded and said:

"That's fine. One ounce of gold is $41.5 on the market right now, and one ton of gold is $146 million. So, I'll give you 5 tons of gold, and the remaining $270 million in cash. What do you think, Mr. Ling?"

Lin Sanqi's heartbeat was already over 200 times, and his mouth was dry from nervousness, but on the surface he remained calm.

"Okay, let's do as you say. I hope Mr. Zeng can get it done within 2 hours."

Zeng Yutong was also decisive. In order to express his sincerity, he made a phone call in front of Lin Sanqi:

"Immediately take 5 tons of gold from the vault. Also, transfer 270 million US dollars in cash from the bank. Yes, deliver it to the New World Building within 2 hours."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Sanqi winked at a bodyguard, who went out and told all the bodyguards outside to be prepared for a possible battle. The atmosphere at the scene began to become a little subtle.

Compared to Lin Sanqi's nervousness, Zeng Yutong was not planning to cheat, and he felt at ease, and he relaxed completely:

"Mr. Ling, we haven't eaten anything all day. How about I order some seafood porridge?"

Lin Sanqi thought, how dare I eat your food? What if I get poisoned to death? Although he has the aura of a protagonist, he should not take unnecessary risks.

"Boss Zeng, you're too polite. I'm not hungry, so I won't eat. Take the money. I have to go out to the sea to Haojiang in a while."

Zeng Yutong looked at the second-generation rich man in front of him and shook his head slightly. How could he get back so much money by just going to the Haojiang Casino? He was really a top spendthrift.

2 hours later, all the gold and cash arrived... (End of this chapter)
