Chapter 456 Ivan’s Methods

Gao Yang and the others took a shower, changed their combat uniforms into casual clothes, and only put a pistol on their bodies. The group followed Ivan to trade their emeralds.

Bogota has the largest emerald trading market in the world, known as Emerald Street. This street is full of large and small gem shops, selling both processed jewelry and unprocessed rough stones. Of course, here Each store also purchases rough stones.

Gao Yang and Ivan got into the same car. When they were in the car, Ivan didn't know what he thought of. He took out the two largest emeralds from his bag, handed them to Gao Yang and said, "You put this on Get up, I will ask you to take it out, and you will take it out pretending to be reluctant."

Although he didn't know what Ivan had in mind, Gao Yang still put the two biggest gems in his pocket.

When they arrived at Emerald Street, Ivan took Gao Yang and the others directly to the entrance of a gem store. After getting out of the car, a dozen people crowded into the small store.

The salespersons in the store were all men. Although the store was not big, there were four of them there. After Gao Yang and the others rushed in, the store was basically full.

The language barrier is indeed very troublesome. A clerk muttered something to Gao Yang, but Gao Yang couldn't understand it at all. But after Ivan said a few words to the clerk, the clerk looked at Gao Yang suspiciously. They immediately shook their heads, not knowing what they said.

Gao Yang waved to Lucika, and then whispered: "What are they talking about?"

"Ivan said he had made an appointment with their boss and asked the clerk to take us in. But the clerk said there were too many people and we couldn't go in."

Gao Yang nodded. Just when I was really planning to tell Ivan that they wouldn't go in, I saw that after Ivan said a few words again, the clerk walked to the back door of the store, pressed the door lock and said a few words, but then faced Ivan. Fan shook his head and immediately opened the back door.

Ivan waved to Gao Yang and said with a smile: "Let's go, no problem."

Since there is no problem. Of course Gao Yang had to go and have a look.

Although the store is not big, it is very deep inside. Coming out of the store is a narrow and long passage. After walking a while, there is another closed iron door. After the clerk who led the way said a few words, The heavy iron door opened, and Gao Yang and the others were able to move forward.

After exiting the iron gate, there was a small courtyard. In the courtyard were several big men carrying automatic rifles, watching Gao Yang and the others eagerly. They then went up another set of stairs from the courtyard to the second floor. Before entering, there were several more armed guards.

After seeing Ivan, a guard with a gun reached out to stop Ivan. Instructing him to raise his hands to accept the search, Ivan shook his head and suddenly shouted: "Saro, my people are all carrying guns. If you have to search us, then I'll leave. "

After Ivan shouted, a voice soon rang out

"Ivan, my friend, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

As he spoke, a fat man with gray hair quickly walked out of the back room. After seeing Ivan, the fat man laughed first, then hugged Ivan heavily, and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome. You my friend, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

After finishing speaking, the fat man named Salo looked at Gao Yang and the others, and then said: "Why, do you need to bring so many people with you when you come to my place? Don't blame my men for being nervous. They must be careful when they see so many people." Yes."

Ivan shook his head, pointed at Gao Yang and said: "Don't get me wrong, he is my friend, not my bodyguard. Man, can't you see? Everyone here is his bodyguard, and this one is the real one." As for the big seller, I’m just a middleman, so don’t make a mistake, don’t ask or test, this friend of mine is just here to sell goods.”

Ivan didn't mean to introduce Gao Yang. Although Salo was very curious about Gao Yang, he didn't inquire too much. He just smiled and hugged Gao Yang, and then said loudly: "Welcome, friend."

Only then did Gao Yang understand what Ivan was trying to do. He kept a straight face and nodded very reservedly, but didn't say a word.

After waving Gao Yang and Ivan into a large and luxurious reception room, Gao Yang and Ivan sat on the sofa, while Grolev and the others stood behind Gao Yang with eyes. For a moment, Gao Yang looked at On the contrary, he is the most arrogant person in the room.

After Gao Yang and the others sat down, Salo couldn't wait to say: "Ivan, quickly take out your goods and show me, I can't wait."

Ivan took the backpack, looked at Gao Yang and said, "Sir, can we start trading?"

Gao Yang nodded with a straight face. After waving his hand, Ivan opened the zipper of his backpack and poured all the gems in the bag onto the big coffee table in front of Salo.

The backpack containing gems has many compartments. As Ivan took out more and more gems, the expression on Salo's face became more and more satisfied. After Ivan said that all the gems were on the coffee table, Salo clicked He nodded, then took out a magnifying glass, leaned down and began to examine the gems on the coffee table.

After a few glances, Salo said a few words to the bodyguard standing behind him, and then four more people came quickly. After the people arrived, Salo looked at Ivan and said: "Let them Can you take the gem next door and have it tested?”

Ivan did not agree directly, but looked at Gao Yang and said with a smile: "Saro is an old friend of mine. His credibility is absolutely no problem. Can you let him test it?"

After Gao Yang nodded, Ivan immediately smiled at Salo and said, "Please do so."

Salo waved his hand, and after his men took the emeralds to the next room for testing, Salo smiled and said: "This batch of gems is large in quantity, and the quality is pretty good. However, none of the gems are the best." The top ones, my friend, if there are any good ones left, let’s take them out together.”

Ivan smiled and said: "Don't worry, my friend, let's wait until you quote the prices of these goods and we can continue the discussion."

Gao Yang didn't say a word, while Ivan and Salo chatted nonchalantly. After waiting for almost an hour, one of the people testing in the next room came out and whispered a few words to Salo. He quickly went back and took out the gems that still belonged to Gao Yang and Ivan and put them on the coffee table.

After putting the gems back, Salo said in a deep voice: "I will pay a high price of nine million US dollars for this batch of goods."

Gao Yang calculated it in his mind. The expert Ivan looked for first said that the total value of the gems was between 14 million US dollars and 18 million US dollars. The prices in this range were considered reasonable. Gao Yang and the others had already sold the gems worth more than 5 million US dollars. The highest quality gems were taken out, and the two largest gems were also taken out. The price of eight million was considered reasonable.

Gao Yang thought it was reasonable, but Ivan shook his head and said: "No, no, Salo, I think ten million is a good price."

Salo immediately shook his head and smiled: "Ivan, I have always been very strict with my bidding. This batch of goods is only worth eight million. I have to leave a profit margin for myself. Eight million, this is a very reasonable price. No one you can ask for will give you a higher price than me, but I know you still have some good stuff, so take it out. Only good stuff has a good price."

Ivan shrugged, then took out a handful of top-quality emeralds from his pocket and placed them on the coffee table. Gao Yang looked at them and saw that there were ten in total. It seemed that Ivan had kept a lot for himself.

When Salo was about to lower his head to examine the top batch of emeralds, Ivan stretched out his hand and said, "These are other things. How much do you think these are worth?"

After Salo looked down at it, he muttered: "One million and three hundred thousand is a reasonable price, but I am willing to pay you one and a half million dollars."

Ivan shook his head again and said, "Is this the so-called wholesale price again?"

"Yes, wholesale price. I buy in large quantities. I have to make some money."

After Ivan pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Let's do this, you give 10 million for that batch, and the best 2 million, a total of 12 million US dollars, all belong to you."

Saro laughed and said: "Impossible, this is impossible, my friend, the price you ask is too much."

Ivan smiled and said: "Don't worry, the price I ask is still within a reasonable range, but when you see the really good goods, you won't think I am asking for a random price."

After finishing speaking, Ivan looked at Gao Yang and said, "Sir, take it out. Salo is my friend and he will give you a good price."

Gao Yang now knew why Ivan asked him to pack the two largest gems. After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yang nodded, took out the two largest gems from his jacket pocket, and gently put them down. On the coffee table.

After Gao Yang placed the two egg-sized gems on the coffee table, Ivan said with a proud look on his face: "Look, these are the real good things, and we set the price, two for 10 million, no counter-offer!" "

Salo solemnly picked up the two big gems. After looking at them for a few times, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Man, you are wrong. These two are indeed good things, but they are definitely not worth 10 million. The most I can give is One million, really. Although these two gems are large, they have too many cracks and impurities, so they are not as valuable as you think."

You have to do the whole thing when doing a show. After hearing Salo's words, Gao Yang stood up silently and pretended to leave, while Ivan hurriedly said: "Sir, don't worry, it's normal for businessmen to bargain. We have to listen." The reason given by Salo.”

Salo said helplessly: "Friend, the bigger the emerald, the more valuable it is. It depends on the quality. Of course, there will definitely be extra points if it is bigger, but the quality of your two gems is not high enough. They are really not worth ten million. .”

Gao Yang said expressionlessly: "That's not what I heard. Forget it, it seems we can't reach an agreement. I'd better go somewhere else and look."

After Salo hesitated for a moment, he could only say with a pained face: "Friend, I don't want to lose this business, but it is even more impossible for me to do a loss-making business. Let's do this. I agree to the price offered by Ivan, and then give this person The two big ones have offered a high price of US$3 million in total, and the total price is US$15 million. This is my bottom line. If you can't agree to this, then I can only give up on this transaction." ( To be continued.)
