Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 12 Diamond Trading (First update, please recommend and read)
Tian Jiahui was a little resistant at first, especially when Li Song said that he couldn't find a seller.

Because Li Song gave him a ruthless gift at the beginning, Tian Jiahui thought that Li Song was a ruthless person in the underworld.

But if you think about it carefully, if Li Song is a gangster, how come he doesn't have a way to sell this?
Could it be that Li Song is from the mainland... and wants to sell these things privately?

And they also want gold. Could it be that Li Song’s family is planning to run away?
"Why are we looking for you?" Tian Jiahui asked loudly when he saw Li Song was about to leave.

Because Li Song's next few words made Tian Jiahui excited, buying a house, a car, and a big house.

"I'll call you at two o'clock every afternoon." Li Song waved his hand and said.

Tian Jiahui looked at the diamond in his hand. Although he was 80% convinced, he was still not sure without professional appraisal.

So I found a jewelry store and asked someone to appraise it.

"Sir, your diamond has reached the highest level of flawless diamonds, and the cutting process is very exquisite. Look at its fire." The jewelry appraiser asked Tian Jiahui to look at the fire of the diamond.

Tian Jiahui was stunned by the brilliance displayed by the one-carat diamond. It was so beautiful. It turned out that diamonds were really that beautiful.

"So what's the price of the diamond?" Tian Jiahui asked, staring at the diamond.

"London International quotes a flawless one-carat diamond like yours for $60,000."

"Of course the retail price is much higher, generally four times the benchmark price, mainly because we have taxes and so on in retail." After the appraiser took the money, of course he had to make things clear.

"Thank you." Tian Jiahui was no longer calm. This meant that the retail price of his diamond was at least 200,000 US dollars, which was more than 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars. He earned 5,000 yuan a month, which was 60,000 yuan a year. Moreover, if his business was not doing well, he might even be laid off...

Even if the business is good, it is still difficult to earn more than one million, unless you are a big lawyer who has a good relationship with the judge.

Of course, the diamond in my hand has no certificate or anything, so the price is probably between 30% and 50% off.

That is 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars.

"Tsk tsk, this guy is really generous." Tian Jiahui sighed in his heart when he thought about the tens of thousands of US dollars in his hands.

"How about setting it up and giving it to my wife?" Tian Jiahui became a little uneasy after thinking about the price of the finished product.

"I just don't know how much stock Mr. Li has."

"Ask someone first. If it's gold, it should be easy to exchange." Tian Jiahui doesn't have much talent, but he is a lawyer after all. He has teachers, colleagues, and classmates.

So I am not afraid of dealing with those illegal businessmen.

Li Song was actually distressed because this carat cost 13,000 US dollars, but he couldn't catch the wolf without risking his child.

This diamond was cut and polished by hand, but because the laser cutting technology was too advanced, Li Song was afraid that there would be problems in the transaction.

So a service fee of two thousand is added to one carat. Jewelry cutting and processing has no future in 2080 because automatic equipment is fast and good.

"There is still $221.7 million left in the second-hand account."

"You can buy 170 one-carat flawless natural diamonds."

"If we sell it at a 70% discount, it's still $3.4 million. Excluding the 10% I give to Tian Jiahui, that's $306 million. Even if I buy gold in this world, I'll still have 10,000 ounces. 10,000 ounces sells for over $50 million on a second-hand platform. This is enough for this one deal, and it's enough start-up capital."

"If I can exchange it for gold of equal value..." Li Song drooled.

"No, give Tian Jiahui a week. If there is no news in a week, go back to the mainland to find someone for help." Li Song then thought of a problem and set a deadline for Tian Jiahui.

"I think we can go back to the mainland and do a few more jobs?"

"But I'm worried about shipping too much and getting caught by the dealers..." Li Song knew that if someone wanted to investigate large-scale shipments, they would definitely be able to track him down. Even if he asked mainland China to help with the shipments, the news might leak out even faster. Li Song felt a little uneasy and could only practice martial arts at home.

The original owner was from a martial arts school and was proficient in Xingyi, Bagua, Tai Chi, Sanda, grappling, and wrestling. Li Song was a Sanda professional.

Moreover, at this time, the top students who graduated from martial arts schools would directly enter the military or the army, or work in the security departments of large institutions or even as bodyguards.

Therefore, martial arts schools during this period also taught some fighting skills.

As for firearms, Li Song knew from the original owner's memory that his family had a 56-and-a-half. As for firearms, there was no need to talk about them because military training was required for a long time in the mainland.

After entering the military school, you also have to undergo military training, marches, and shooting.

Li Song held two dumbbells in his hands and punched continuously.

Martial arts require strength, and reaction is indispensable. Of course, there are some people whose strength is extremely abnormal. It doesn’t matter if their reaction is slow. You can hit someone ten times, but if they only hit you once, you’re finished.

Li Song also cares a lot about his muscular body. It is well-proportioned and not the kind of dead muscles that look bulging.

After practicing for an hour or so, Li Song felt a little tired, so he practiced a set of Tai Chi to let his body slowly calm down from the exercise state.

Then take a shower, do laundry, and go to bed.

After a good sleep until the next morning, Li Song washed up, went downstairs for a run, and had some breakfast tea.

"I also need to buy a house here and a warehouse near the sea. Maybe I will even need to buy a boat in the future so that I can bring things in." Li Song was eating rice rolls with fresh pork liver in them, thinking about future development.

After dinner, I went home and watched TV to learn Cantonese. Although I was anxious, I had no choice but to be patient.

I waited until two o'clock in the afternoon before going out to eat. It was almost three o'clock after dinner when I called Tian Jiahui.

Li Song was actually very nervous when he made the call, after all, it was related to his first pot of gold.

"Hello!" Tian Jiahui was also very nervous in the law firm. He had already found the person to ship the goods, and the other party had also offered conditions.

"It's me." Li Song's voice came from the phone.

"I've found it. The other party originally charged 30%, but if you want to exchange it for physical goods, I'll give you 50%. In other words, the money for your goods will be exchanged for physical goods according to the international physical price." Tian Jiahui didn't explain it clearly, fearing that someone would hear it. He felt a little uneasy, wondering whether Li Song would agree.

The diamond is of very good quality and the cutting craftsmanship is also good. The other party concluded that it was cut by a group of master-level diamond cutters, but there is no certificate.

Everything made at the master level has a certificate number.

"How much can you ask for?" Li Song nodded. Tian Jiahui's words were vague, but Li Song understood.

"How about we meet and talk about it?" Tian Jiahui decided to meet and talk about it.

"Yeah." Li Song hung up the phone and paid the phone bill.

Then he went home and changed into a loose sweatshirt, and then bought two Uzi submachine guns, magazines, and bullets on a second-hand platform. He loaded the bullets and put the loaded Uzi submachine guns up for sale at a high price, and also put the loaded magazines up for sale.

Because the price is significantly higher than many others, the chance of selling it is almost zero.

As long as Li Song withdraws, the gun will return to his hands. This is why Li Song wears a loose sweatshirt.

"We have to be on guard!" Li Song was also on guard against Tian Jiahui.
