Chapter 573: The Largest Diamond in History

After getting the "Platinum Club Member" membership card from the Lanshen Club, Qin Yafei couldn't wait to try the Lanshen Gym.

In a separate space on the ground floor of the Lanshen Club, Qin Yafei did half an hour of strength training and half an hour of running training under the guidance of the coach who was a guest guest of the Lanshen security member.

Feeling the improvement of his speed and strength, Qin Yafei was high at that time. He was in his forties, and he felt that he had never been so excited since he became an adult.

Qin Yafei asked the coach: "Can I go out and be a hero?"

At their age, who doesn't have a dream of flying over the roof and breaking the wall?

"Unfortunately not." The coach said, and then the coach pushed open the door of the next room, pointed inside and said, "But you can be a superman in this room."

When entering the door, there was a wall, Qin Yafei was stunned, and then the coach said to him: "Break it."

"Are you sure?" Qin Yafei stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt the rough and cold sand and stone. This is indeed a wall. He hit it like this, and his hand couldn't be broken.

"Trust me." The coach said, then Qin Yafei gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and punched him.

"Boom!" Almost feeling no resistance, he punched through a wall. The moment his fist passed through the wall, Qin Yafei felt his blood boil and hit his temple Almost exploded.

His nostrils fluttered, his heart was pounding, and a stream of heat rose directly from the tailbone to the top of his head. If he was excited just now, Qin Yafei is now bursting with high.

For a middle-aged man who follows the rules and lives in the world, this sudden superhuman power is so real and violent, venting all the hard work and all the troubles in life.

It seems that the brain is empty.

Qin Yafei has long been used to coming to the Lanshen Club to enjoy massage services when he has nothing to do. Lying on the massage bed of the Lanshen Club, he can experience the unspeakable comfort and tranquility.

But he never thought that it turns out that when high reaches the extreme, he can find the same goal by different routes and find peace of mind.

Like a child, Qin Yafei yelled "Ah, hit!" and rushed out, swinging his fists, the room was booming, and fragments of bricks, tiles and stones flew together.

The coach told him: "Be careful, your strength will be exhausted in about half an hour. After you feel strenuous, don't punch any more, or you will get hurt."

Half an hour later, Qin Yafei came out with two bloody fists in his hands. The coach shook his head helplessly and said, "I have already warned you."

"It's nothing, it's just scratched a little bit." Qin Yafei laughed loudly, he did a few bodybuilding poses, and said: "I think there is still a lot of strength that hasn't been vented. Is there anything else I can do?"

"If you want... go and help us dig the tunnel." The coach thought for a while.

Qin Yafei looked at the coach silently for a minute.

He knew that an underground passage was being built in the Lazy God Clubhouse, but asked his billionaire President Qin to dig the tunnel? That's the work of migrant workers, no, now it's completely mechanized, and even migrant workers don't do it...

However, Qin Yafei obediently carried the pickaxe and ran to dig a tunnel for the Lazy God Guild Hall for half an hour. He didn't come back with the pickaxe until he felt that the power had completely disappeared.

When he got home, Qin Yafei fell asleep on the bed, sleeping very sweetly, and was finally woken up by his brother-in-law Sun Shouding.

"Brother-in-law, why are you so tired? What did you do? Why did you break your hand? Did you fight with someone?" Sun Shouding asked curiously when he saw Qin Yafei's hand was tied with a bandage.

"Where is it? I went to Lazy God's Gym for some exercise, and I accidentally overplayed it." Qin Yafei laughed.

"Lazy God's Gym? It's the one mentioned in the announcement two days ago. How is it? How does the Lazy God's Gym feel?" Sun Shouding asked curiously.

Qin Yafei's brother-in-law Sun Shouding is also a member of the Lazy God Club and a platinum member, but it is still a long time before he joins the "Platinum Member Club".

"You can't imagine how great it is!" Qin Yafei actually wanted to brag, but Nan Ming said that he would keep it a secret, so he forcibly held back and said: "By the way, Shou Ding, you are an expert in the jewelry industry, help me see Look at this card."

Qin Yafei took out the card in his hand, talked about the customized options at that time, and said, "I chose the diamond material with platinum edging. At that time, it was just a random choice, but this card is a diamond?"

Qin Yafei was very puzzled. A membership card the size of a bank card is thicker than a bank card. If it is made of diamonds, then how big should the diamond be cut from? But the card doesn't look like glass either.

"Could it be special glass?" Qin Yafei asked Sun Shouding.

When Qin Yafei took out the card, Sun Shouding couldn't take his eyes off it.

The edge of this card is cut with a few strange corners, and when it flashes under the light, there is a feeling of blinding.

The refractive index of the diamond is 2.417, and the dispersion coefficient is 0.044. After scientific cutting, the light is reflected back and forth inside the diamond, making it extremely shiny. Experienced people can see it at a glance.

Sun Shouding's first feeling was that this thing was really a diamond.

"Can I have a look?" Sun Shouding asked, and Qin Yafei handed over the card directly.

Sun Shouding took the card and frowned as soon as he took it. Then he took out a magnifying glass that he carried with him from his pocket, squinted his eyes for a moment, and stared at Qin Yafei with his tongue gaping.

"It's...it's a diamond!" This card was slightly blue in color and looked extremely pure. Sun Shouding's hand holding it trembled, as if he couldn't hold it.

Sun Shouding got into Qin Yafei's kitchen, took a kitchen scale and put the card on it after a while.

The weight shown above is 22.7 grams.

Sun Shouding swallowed a mouthful of foam.

The unit of measurement for diamonds is carat, and one carat is 0.2 grams, that is to say, this is a 113.5-carat diamond.

No, maybe around 100 carats if you remove the platinum edging.

"Is it very precious?" Qin Yafei didn't know much about luxury goods.

"Mr. Nan... is really generous. Brother-in-law, you don't know. In 2013, Sotheby's auctioned a 118-carat diamond. There are only five in the world!" Sun Shouding didn't know what to say, he stared blankly at Qin Yafei, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to admit that such a card was worth several times his entire net worth!

However, where in this world is there such a big diamond?

"This guy, could it be...cut from Cullinan..."

Cullinan is the largest gem ever discovered by humans, weighing more than 3,100 carats, or more than 600 grams, and then cut into 9 large diamonds and 96 small diamonds, the largest of which is called Cullinan No. 1 , also known as the Star of Africa, weighs 530 carats, it is inlaid on the scepter of the British king, and has become a symbol of British royal power.

It is estimated that such a card can only be cut out of a huge diamond like Cullinan.

"Is this really a diamond?" Qin Yafei was also surprised. Such a card is worth more than 30 million US dollars? That's 200 million RMB!

"It's a pity, the price will shrink a lot if it is cut like this..." Sun Shouding held the card, looked at the logo of Yafei Group and Qin Yafei's name engraved on it, and sighed.

"Even if it's not cut like this, can you sell it?" Qin Yafei couldn't laugh or cry, this is the diamond and platinum card of the Platinum Member Club! This card is worth 200 million RMB, not a loss at all!

"But it's really a diamond?" Then Qin Yafei also felt distressed. It would be great if 200 million was used for investment. Why do you want to make a card...

"Look, brother-in-law, this kind of refractive index, this kind of luster, it's definitely a diamond!" Sun Shouding patted his chest and assured him that he had been playing with jewelry all his life, so it's no wonder he could see it wrong.

"Wait, come with me." Qin Yafei suddenly remembered that he still had a box with the same color and feeling.

Qin Yafei walked to his study room, picked up the box that was used as a paperweight, handed it to Sun Shouding and said, "I think the material of the card is the same as this thing..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Shouding rushed over, scared Qin Yafei loosened his hand, and the box in his hand was about to fall. Sun Shouding hugged the box with a hungry tiger, and slammed on the desk and screamed.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yafei felt that Sun Shouding must be crazy today.

"Sister...brother-in-law, where did this box come from..."

"It was also sent by Mr. Nan." Qin Yafei said.

Sun Shouding looked at the box in his hand obsessively, drooling, he had never lost his composure in such a big way, and then he suddenly wailed: "Who the hell cut this diamond into this shape, and cut it into pieces? The two halves are grooved! Fuck, Fuck!"

Sun Shouding held the box with both hands, raised it above his head, and said to Qin Yafei: "Brother-in-law, this is the biggest diamond in human history, the biggest diamond!"

2172 grams, 10860 carats! The whole box is divided into two parts, the upper part is slightly lighter, 2530 carats, and the lower part weighs 8330 carats!

The largest diamond in human history!

"Brother-in-law, this is a priceless treasure, a priceless treasure!"

Sun Shouding was going crazy.

"Oh, you said that box, man-made." When Nan Ming received Qin Yafei's call, he actually sniggered in his heart.

When it was given to Qin Yafei, he knew that such a day would come.

Qin Yafei sighed, if it is true, it is too precious, but if it is man-made...

Qin Yafei said to Sun Shouding: "Mr. Nan said this is a fake, not a diamond."

"Who said it's fake? It's a man-made diamond, no different from a natural diamond." Nan Ming said.

Qin Yafei was tongue-tied, and then passed the words to Sun Shouding, saying: "So the value should be much lower."

"Who said that? In fact, many gem-quality man-made diamonds have flowed into the diamond market, and they are all sold at the price of natural diamonds. This thing was originally hyped... But it is no longer a diamond if it is more than 100 carats. It's a work of art..." Sun Shouding swallowed and said, "Brother-in-law, ask Mr. Nan if I can cut this box into diamonds..."

"Whatever, the box is for you, you can do whatever you want with it." Nan Ming said indifferently, "But you said Brother Sun wants to cut diamonds? How troublesome, what kind of diamond does he want? I'll give it to him Well, I have the top laser diamond cutting machine here, and I can cut whatever I want."

"Do you have a lot of diamonds?" Qin Yafei asked with his hands on the microphone. This is a terrible thing, and it can make relatives turn against each other.

"I can make as many of these things as I want." Nan Ming said, "The cost is more expensive than glass."

Qin Yafei suddenly wanted to be quiet.

"Mr. Nan, have you ever thought about starting a diamond business?" Sun Shouding had already scratched his head and couldn't help asking.

"Diamond business? To be honest, I don't want to do it." Nan Ming said.

"Why? If Mr. Nan has the technology of man-made diamonds, then you can control the supply of goods, and then gradually ship them, and keep hyping them up, so that the price of diamonds will not fluctuate too much, and you can grab more benefits..." Sun Shouding I am too familiar with the market of this kind of luxury goods and collectibles, but all luxury goods are hyped. If there is no hype, even treasures can be sold at the price of scallops.

"To be honest, I have a grudge against Debitz." Nan Ming said.

Sun Shouding was speechless, Nan Zong had a grudge against Debitz, who controlled the diamond industry?

This high-end atmosphere is high-end, and even the enemy is a super predator who controls the entire industry.

"Let's put it this way, those people who troubled us before were instigated by Debitz. I don't know why Debitz troubled me, but it is the truth." Qin Yafei asked, Nan Ming said.

"I understand, that's why you made man-made diamonds." Qin Yafei said.

"Yes, I'm thinking of using diamonds in various packages and shipping them on a large scale. By then, there will be diamonds all over the mountains. I'll see how Debitz can maintain the high-end image of diamonds." Nan Ming said.

"No, Mr. Nan!" Sun Shouding said hurriedly.

"Why not?" Nan Ming wondered.

"Mr. Nan, your thinking is too simple. It is not just the credit of Debitz that diamonds have come to the present. If you lower the price of diamonds, what do you make those who buy diamonds at a high price think? And the diamond industry There are too many stakeholders in the upstream and downstream of the chain, if you do this, you will offend people in the entire luxury and jewelry industry, and even you, Mr. Nan, may not be able to afford it."

Sun Shouding said: "Besides, Mr. Nan, if you release so many diamonds at once, Debitz will definitely fight back desperately. At that time, they only need to desperately deny the value of man-made diamonds, or use some shady tricks, and you will also reply." Tired of coping."

Nan Ming frowned, he hadn't thought about it, Sun Shouding was right.

"So, Mr. Nan, I suggest that you boil the frog in warm water and release the news of man-made diamonds little by little. Not only can it paralyze Debitz, but it can also lower the psychological expectations of those whose interests have been damaged..."

Nan Ming smiled: "Mr. Sun, do you want to cooperate?" (To be continued.)
