As long as he didn't rob the diamond warehouse of De Beers or the small treasury of a foreign political figure, Zeng Yutong was confident that other matters could be settled. After all, he still had energy in this three-thirds of an acre of Xiangjiang.
Even if his father is unhappy by then, what does Zeng Yutong have to do with him? He bought it with real money, so the only one to blame is this second generation ancestor.
Thinking of this, Zeng Yutong completely relaxed and asked with a smile:
"So Mr. Ling, how much do you quote for this batch of diamonds? Let's see if we, Zhou Taifu, can afford it?"
Lin Sanqi did not take out all the fake diamonds, but only some. There were 200 in total, ranging from one carat to 10 carats, but mainly large carats, and one or two carats were just the make-up.
There are 200 top-quality large diamonds. If you think about it with your toes, you will know that the price will definitely go up to the sky.
How does 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 a village in the city and had never bought a diamond ring before.
"Boss Zeng, make trouble, you just said that you are a straightforward person, but now you are not straightforward. Now, you set a price and how much you are prepared to spend on it. If the price is suitable, I will sell it to you. If the price is not suitable, I will find another one." Find somewhere else.
If this small place like Xiangjiang really can't afford it, then I'll go to Wanwan or the United States. If that doesn't work, I'll mortgage it to a casino in Haojiang. ”
Zeng Yutong thought to himself, after all, he came from a wealthy family, even the second generation ancestor had his own intentions.
Zeng Yutong scratched his head when he was asked to bid. Businessmen all want to make money. If the bid is too cheap, the other party won't accept it. If the bid is too high, he won't make any money.
However, there are still people who can become the four major families in the future. They want to be cheaper, but they have never thought of bullying other children.
"Well, Mr. Ling, since this is a business, if you want to make money, of course I also want to make money, so let's make a compromise and give a 30% discount on the current market price. What do you think?"
Don't look at the low 30% discount, but you should know that it would be good if you can get 50% off on items of unknown origin.
Lin Sanqi pretended to think for a moment, then nodded:
"30% off? Boss Zeng knows how to do business. If I go to the mortgage company for this price, it's just the same. Okay, then I'm too lazy to run. How much does it add up to?"
Zeng Yutong was overjoyed when he saw that the other party agreed.
The 30% discount saved is also a profit of millions of dollars.
The key is that when this kind of top-quality diamond is retailed in the future, the price will naturally rise a lot above the market price, which is equivalent to making an extra fortune.
Because the diamonds were of different sizes, the appraiser began to classify them, and then began to calculate the price under the supervision of Lin Sanqi, a bodyguard.
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 8 million US dollars on it.
I sighed secretly in my heart. During this period, the mainland's foreign exchange reserves were only 40 million US dollars, and these fake diamonds directly accounted for one-fifth of the national treasury.
Sure enough, if you are brave enough, Sadako will take maternity leave.
Lin Sanqi touched the 40-carat fake diamond in his pocket and rolled his eyes, thinking that since he wanted to kill people, he should kill them all at once.
"Boss Zeng, 8 million US dollars, ahem, is not enough to fill my hole. Now, I still have a big diamond. How much do you think you can give me?"
After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out another big diamond from his pocket and put it on the tray.
Zeng Yutong and the appraiser's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then they both took a breath: "So big?"
Lin Sanqi thought, "What's the big deal? I just took out 40 carats. You want to be bigger? Dong Qinxin even has 500 carats of diamonds in his store. I won't scare you to death."
Zeng Yutong immediately signaled the appraiser with his eyes, and the appraiser was not polite. He picked up the diamond and studied it carefully.
After a long time, the appraiser closed his open mouth and praised repeatedly:
"I have never seen such perfect pigeon eggs in my life. Oh no, they should be called goose eggs. Perfect clarity, perfect color, and perfect cut. It seems that this is not something from this world, but a gift from God. Ah. Boss..."
Zeng Yutong understood instantly that this was the appraiser’s suggestion that he should never miss it.
There are 40-carat diamonds, but such a perfect 40-carat diamond is unique in the world and its value is immeasurable.
Zeng Yutong was also excited in his heart. This diamond can be regarded as a treasure of his own store. When it is displayed, it will not only shock Hong Kong, but also the whole of Southeast Asia. The advertising effect alone is worth thousands of dollars.
"Mr. Ling, are you really willing to sell this goose egg? What if your father's side..."
Lin Sanqi said casually:
"I don't have only one diamond like this in my family. It won't kill my old man. Don't worry. At most, he will be found out. I will be hung up and beaten. I am used to it. Anyway, I am the only son of my father. , he dare not beat me to death!”
Zeng Yutong thought to himself that he didn't know which family was unlucky enough to have such a prodigal son. If it was his own son, he would have to be beaten to death.
(Unfortunately, he only gave birth to 4 daughters and no sons in his life. In the end, if his family's business was all at a disadvantage, he would have 4 sons-in-law.)
"Well, Mr. Ling, let's come up with a round number and I'll give you 10 million US dollars for all your diamonds. How about that?"
Lin Sanqi thought, just a fake diamond is worth 2 million US dollars. It is indeed a gold belt for murder and arson. No one can be rich without windfall.
(Refer to Jacqueline, the wife of US President John F. Kennedy, who had a 40.42-carat marquise-cut diamond worth US$2.6 million in the 1960s)
"Okay, I agree to the 10 million US dollars, but Boss Zeng, please agree first that I will get the money today, otherwise I will not sell."
Zeng Yutong frowned and immediately calculated the savings of the company and his family. Even if he urgently borrowed money from other wealthy people, it seemed that he would not be able to collect 10 million US dollars in one night.
"Mr. Ling, this 10 million US dollars is not a small amount. I can't get it together in one night. Can you give it a few days?"
Lin Sanqi thought that what I was doing was a one-time business, so she even put on makeup specially for this purpose. If she waited a few more days, there would be too many variables.
10 million US dollars is enough for the entire Hong Kong society, and even the official people have issued 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 to pay for it. For a jewelry store as big as yours, don't say you don't have gold."
Zeng Yutong did have some thoughts, but when he thought about the 20 armed bodyguards outside and the power behind this young man, anyone who dared to mine in Africa and steal food from the tiger's mouth would be an exaggeration to say he was a warlord.
If you really want to confront this kind of family and kill their only son, I'm afraid the Zeng family will also be hunted down endlessly.
Now that you have earned what you should earn, don't think about some money. The long-term solution is to make money by everyone.
Cantonese style, don’t make the last copper penny.
Thinking of this, Zeng Yutong also nodded and said:
"That's okay. One ounce of gold in the market is now US$41.5, and one ton of gold is worth US$1.46 million. So, I'll give you 5 tons of gold and the remaining US$2.7 million in cash. What do you think, Mr. Ling?"< br>
Lin Sanqi's heartbeat had exceeded 200 times, and her mouth was so nervous that her mouth was dry, but she still looked calm on the surface.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. I hope Mr. Zeng can finish it within 2 hours."
Zeng Yutong was also decisive. In order to express his integrity, he made a phone call in front of Lin Sanqi:
"Immediately withdraw 5 tons of gold from the vault, and transfer 2.7 million US dollars in cash from the bank. Yes, it will be delivered to the New World Tower within 2 hours."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Sanqi winked at a bodyguard. The bodyguard went out and asked all the bodyguards outside to prepare for possible battles. The atmosphere at the scene began to become a little subtle.
Compared with Lin Sanqi's nervousness, Zeng Yutong was not prepared to cheat, he felt magnanimous and relaxed:
"Mr. Ling, you see we haven't eaten anything all day. How about I order some seafood porridge?"
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, how dare I eat your food? What if you get poisoned? Although he has the aura of a protagonist, don't take unnecessary risks.
"Boss Zeng is very polite. I won't eat if I'm not hungry. After taking the money, I will go to sea to Haojiang in a while."
Zeng Yutong looked at the second generation ancestor in front of him and shook his head slightly. Can he get back so much money just by going to Haojiang Casino? What a top-notch loser.
2 hours later, all the gold and cash arrived...(End of Chapter)
