343. Chapter 341 Fake Diamonds in Zhecheng, Henan


Huadu Gifts and Crafts Wholesale Market.

Lin Sanqi followed her cousin Lin Qiang around in the market, heading in one direction.

Lin Qiang looked at the little brother next to him, but he hesitated to speak, looking like he was constipated.

Lin Sanqi felt unhappy after seeing this: "Brother Qiang, just say what you have to say. If you see me, you won't welcome me? Then I'll leave?"

Lin Qiang quickly put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders and said sincerely:

"Qizai, I heard from grandpa that your business is very big now, so I think you are not short of money. Even if you don't have tens of millions in assets, you will always have millions. Look, You don’t need to buy fake diamonds, right?

Let me tell you, once you get a bad reputation about picking up girls, no girls will be willing to play with you in the future. To be more serious, when you get married in the future, and the other party comes to inquire and says that Lin Sanqi used fake diamonds to defraud people, then your wife will not be able to marry. ”

Lin Sanqi almost spit out a mouthful of salt soda:

"Lin Laoliu, you are such an old man. Who told you that I bought fake diamonds just to pick up girls? Brother, I am so tall and mighty. I want good looks and money, but I still use fake diamonds. To deceive people with goods?”

Lin Qiang breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good. We, the Lin family, must be upright when doing things, and we can't do things that are not worthy of publicity."

In fact, Lin Qiang was afraid that Lin Sanqi would use fake diamonds to pick up girls and ruin the family's reputation. He would also be implicated and no girl would be willing to play with him.

Lin Sanqi rolled her eyes at her cousin, wondering if Lin Laoliu was a local snake in this wholesale market, so she shouldn't ask him to be a guide.

The two bypassed the crowd and arrived at the second floor of the wholesale market. After walking around a few times, they arrived at the decoration area.

As soon as she reached the second floor, Lin Sanqi almost blinded her eyes. All the counters here were so bright, especially under the spotlight, it was hard to keep her eyes open.

"Qizai, Nao, all the counters here are selling fake gems. The Henan diamond you want is also here. I will take you to the counter. I have a good relationship with the landlady. I will definitely give it to you at the cost price in a while."


Lin Sanqi followed and looked at the shops along the road.

Good guy, there are all kinds of gems here, red, green, blue, purple, and yellow, all of them are as beautiful as you want. There are only a row of fake jadeite on the counter, which are more translucent and crisp than real jadeite. green.

As expected, it is a big country of copycats, and there is nothing that cannot be copied.

If there are no counterfeit products in China, it can only prove that the product is too poor, not attractive enough, and too lazy to copy you, then you need to reflect on this product.

Lin Qiang had already turned into a store at this time. Lin Sanqi looked up and saw that it read: "Zhecheng Qinxin Diamond Wholesale Department."

Good guy, diamonds are directly wholesaled in the small item market. Do you dare to think about it?

Zhecheng, Henan, is a magical small county that made the De Beers and Jutai conglomerates gnash their teeth with hatred, and the six major jewelry companies in the United States jointly issued strong condemnations.

With just one county's efforts, he has brought down the global diamond market and turned the top luxury gems into handicrafts on the street. I ask you whether you are great or not?

Lin Sanqi thought to himself, if there are more counties like this, they will trap the foreign capital that is worth tens of millions of dollars.

Wait, Lin Sanqi suddenly thought that he seemed to be a small capital deceiver. Those things like cordyceps, tangerine peel and wild ginseng seemed to be the product of capital speculation.

It's over, the dragon-slaying boy turned out to be an evil dragon himself.

However, Lin Sanqi thought to herself that her belongings could easily be worth hundreds of thousands or millions, and the only ones who were defrauded were rich people. This was called robbing the rich and giving to the poor!

After thinking about it this way, Lin Sanqi felt much better and decided to take advantage of the benefit of time travel and go back to 1960 to harvest leeks.

When Lin Sanqi walked into the store, she found Lin Qiang flirting with a beautifully dressed woman. Lin Qiang pinched the woman's face, and the woman punched Lin Qiang like a baby.

"Ahem, Sixth, I, what, let's go first?"

"Come here, let me introduce you. This beauty is the boss lady. Be careful, this handsome guy is my younger brother. He wants to buy some diamonds for fun. No, please introduce him to him."

Dong Qinxin glanced at Lin Sanqi and said with a smile: "Hey, come on, Aqiang, your brother is so handsome."

It's okay if she doesn't open her mouth. She is a fashionable urban girl sitting there. The moment she opens her mouth, there is a smell of Henan spicy soup, and Alice immediately becomes a recruiter.

Lin Sanqi was thinking about the train ride back to the capital from Xiangjiang. When passing through Henan, all the curtains had to be closed. She knew that this province was very difficult.

In the suffering land of the Central Plains, every good thing is not shared, but wars are fought. For thousands of years, natural and man-made disasters have continued. It is so miserable. "Hello, boss lady, I want to buy some diamonds."

"You can decide for yourself what you want to buy. I will give you the cost price."

Look, Henan people are generous.

Lin Sanqi looked around and found that the store was filled with sparkling diamonds, and some were just diamond jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, and pendants.

Lin Sanqi thought for a while and decided that she still wanted rough diamonds:

"Sister, I want the best diamond, how can you sell it here?"

Dong Qinxin opened a row of cabinets, took out plates one by one and put them on the table:

"Pretty boy, how big of a diamond do you want? These are the best and can be used directly for jewelry. Those inferior diamonds are used in industry or as scraps for some handicrafts."

Lin Qiang also came over and joked:

"When I was a kid, I watched pirated CDs, such as "Diamond Thief", "Ocean's Thirteen", and "The Thief of Thieves". I knew that diamonds are quite expensive. A small bag of diamonds can be beaten to death by gangsters. Tsk tsk, look at it. This diamond in front of me, this world is so amazing.”

The landlady rolled her eyes at Lin Qiang: "Are you touching the diamond or my thigh?"

Lin Qiang's dirty hands were still on the landlady's snow-white thighs, and he said flatteringly:

"Diamonds are cold, what's there to touch? How can you be careful? Your thighs are so smooth, tender, white and straight, you can play with them for a year."

Lin Sanqi wanted to persuade her but didn't dare. She thought to her brothers and sisters, "Hey, stop touching me. If you continue to touch me, I won't be able to publish the novel. I'm going to get a river crab."

So I had to bury my head and start to study the diamonds in front of me carefully.

Lin Sanqi didn't know how to identify this thing. He only knew that when he shined it in the light, it was so bright that it made people enchanted.

"Sister, how different are your diamonds from real diamonds? Can you detect them?"

The landlady explained casually while flirting with Lin Qiang:

"Real diamonds and fake diamonds are actually what foreigners call them. According to the rules of our industry, these are real diamonds. What you call raw diamonds and synthetic diamonds are exactly the same in terms of composition, structure, physical properties and optical properties. < br>


Let’s understand it this way. What do you think is the difference between naturally formed ice cubes and ice cubes taken out of the refrigerator? ”

Lin Sanqi thought for a while and said: "There seems to be no difference. They are both formed by water. One is formed naturally by winter, and the other is made artificially by refrigeration."

"Right, with the same arrangement of carbon atoms, how can we distinguish between natural and artificial? Or what distinguishes domestic diamonds from foreign diamonds? Don't worry, let alone ordinary women who can't tell the difference, you can't identify it even if you take it to a jewelry store. out.

As a joke, the only difference between our Henan diamonds and foreign diamonds is that our Henan diamonds are too perfect. Natural diamonds have flaws, but we really don’t have them.

Look at the diamonds in my store. The D color, VVS clarity, and 3EX cut cannot be achieved by natural diamonds. ”

Lin Sanqi didn't understand what D color, VVS clarity, and 3EX cut were, but he understood that it was difficult to distinguish these Henan diamonds from natural diamonds.

Especially these top-grade artificial diamonds in front of you.

That’s good, it’s hard to identify now in 2023, but it would be even harder to identify 64 years ago in 1960.

Okay, okay, just play like this.

"Okay, sister, how can I sell these diamonds?"

"Beautiful boy, you are Aqiang's younger brother. I won't kill you. I will give you everything at cost. For the 1-carat and 2-carat ones, you will pay 1,000 yuan each. The 3-gram and 4-carat ones are more expensive, so you will give them one. 1500, the bigger the carat, the more expensive it is.”

After saying that, the proprietress took out a larger diamond, which was indeed industrially produced and exactly the same size and shape.

Some of them were very huge. The lady boss took out one of them and joked:

"Nao, we call this diamond the Star of Africa. It is known as the King of Diamonds. It weighs 530.02 carats and has 74 facets. It is exactly the same as the one on the scepter of the King of Eagle Country. If you can sell it, it will be worth 2 billion US dollars now. Oh.”

Lin Sanqi thought to herself that if he sold the diamonds in the old woman's power, the Queen of England would go crazy. (End of chapter)
