Chapter 141 Perfect Teamwork in Purchasing Rough Colored Diamonds (3)
An auction?
If Gu Jinxing goes, can he not take a picture of his female companion?
Shen Wancheng looked at Gu Jinxing with a pleading expression.
Gu Jin glanced at her, then looked at Kelin and said.
"I must thank Mr. Klin again."
Klin said with a smile.
"No trouble at all. I hope Mr. Gu can find the auction item he likes at the auction."
Klin turned around and instructed the butler, who had been standing guard in the corner, to bring him his invitation.
The man checking the money finished his work at that moment.
“Mr. Collin, $170 million, no problem.”
"I'm satisfied," Kelin said to Gu Jinxing.
"Mr. Gu, you can put your rough diamond away now."
Shen Yao and Ke La, who were standing behind Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng, stepped forward, closed the two leather suitcases containing the raw stones, picked them up, and then returned to their original positions.
"Thank you, Mr. Colin, for helping me purchase a satisfactory rough diamond."
"Mr. Gu, you're too kind. I look forward to our next collaboration."
"I'm also very much looking forward to it."
Klin added.
"Mr. Gu, do you have any plans for the future? The beef I ordered from the eastern province of Zulu-Nator arrived today. Would you like to stay and try it?"
Gu Jinxing pretended to look at his watch and said.
"To attend the auction the day after tomorrow, I have to move my schedule forward, so... I'm sorry. I hope to have the opportunity to enjoy your food next time."
"Well then," Klin said regretfully. "I wish Mr. Gu all the best in South Africa."
"Thank you."
After exchanging pleasantries with Ke Lin, Gu Jinxing took Shen Wancheng and the bodyguards back to the hotel by car.
While still in the car, Shen Yao couldn't help but say it.
"I always knew that women would lower prices, but I never expected that men would be just as ruthless when it comes to bargaining."
Upon hearing Shen Yao's words, Shen Wancheng couldn't help but chuckle softly a few times before giving Shen Yao a slightly warning look.
Shen Yao's words were far too sarcastic to Gu Jinxing, who was always cold and serious.
Shen Yao chuckled awkwardly and then said...
"Sis, your teamwork and acting skills are top-notch. At first, I didn't even realize that what you said was a reminder that the first batch of rough diamonds wasn't very good."
Shen Yao was referring to two sentences that Shen Wancheng said after seeing the first batch of raw stones.
"There are too many, and I don't know how to choose. Who knows if there are any bad ones among them?"
"If the ones I pick happen to be of average quality, I'll lose a fortune."
Shen Wancheng's two sentences were a reminder to Gu Jinxing, who could only roughly assess the quality of diamonds, that this batch of rough diamonds was a mixture of good and bad.
Gu Jinxing immediately understood the meaning behind Shen Wancheng's words, which is why he asked Kelin to bring out a better rough diamond.
Shen Yao only realized Shen Wancheng's meaning after Gu Jinxing made the request.
Shen Yao was fortunate that she had studied English diligently some time ago, otherwise she wouldn't understand anything.
However, Shen Yao also had some doubts.
She wasn't surprised at all that her older sister, Shen Wancheng, knew about rough diamonds; Shen Yao now felt that Shen Wancheng was omnipotent.
But she didn't expect that Gu Jinxing seemed to know a lot about raw stones. Judging from how he could pick out the problematic stones with just a glance, he seemed to know even more about them than Shen Wancheng.
This made Shen Yao dissatisfied, so she asked.
"Gu...brother-in-law...no, brother, are you also very knowledgeable about rough diamonds? How come you were able to pick out two problematic rough diamonds after just a few glances and successfully drive down the transaction price to the lowest possible level?"
Shen Yao originally wanted to call Gu Jinxing by his name, but when she thought that Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng were about to get engaged, calling him by his name would be too unfamiliar, so she blurted out "brother-in-law".
But when Shen Wancheng suddenly looked at her, she changed to "brother".
Shen Yao's address of "brother-in-law" pleased Gu Jinxing greatly.
Gu Jinxing explained.
"Just like with the first batch of diamonds, I can't examine them too closely, but your sister can. The diamonds she showed me were mostly red, but she had told me before that she came to South Africa mainly to buy yellow, blue and black colored diamonds. At that point, I had some suspicions about the red rough diamonds she showed me."
"When I examined the diamonds, I discovered that she had deliberately categorized some red diamonds in a less obvious way. When I examined these rough stones, I immediately found cracks."
Shen Yao didn't expect that the problem with the second batch of raw stones was also discovered by Shen Wancheng, who still calmly told Gu Jinxing about the problem.
But Gu Jinxing understood immediately.
Shen Yao gave Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao a thumbs up.
"Perfect understanding, truly perfect understanding!"
Shen Wancheng's lips had just involuntarily turned up in a smile when she heard Shen Yao's next words and froze.
"No wonder they're about to become husband and wife."
Shen Wancheng coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed.
The main reason is that she and Gu Jinxing were acting very intimately today because of their acting.
This was the first time Shen Wancheng had been so intimate with a man, apart from that night.
Shen Wancheng had never been in a relationship in her previous life.
So, although Shen Wancheng appeared calm on the surface, she was actually a little awkward inside.
Shen Wancheng threatened Shen Yao.
"Are you getting addicted to teasing me now? I won't take you out next time."
Shen Yao immediately surrendered and covered her mouth.
"I'm not saying anything more, I'm shutting up."
Shen Wancheng looked at Shen Yao, her eyes filled with helplessness and doting affection.
*
After Shen Wancheng and the others returned to the hotel.
Shen Wancheng wasn't in a hurry to check the diamonds, but Shen Yao was eager to open the box and examine them.
Because Shen Yao had seen all kinds of gemstones in ancient times, but diamonds were something that did not exist in ancient China.
The diamonds Shen Yao bought in Hong Kong before were only white diamonds. The colored diamonds in ordinary luxury stores in Hong Kong were very small, and Shen Wancheng didn't like them at the time.
Shen Yao's first glance was naturally at the small leather suitcase containing high-quality diamonds.
Shen Wancheng didn't try to take it from her; instead, she opened the large leather suitcase.
Gu Jinxing took out a magnifying glass and spotlight that he had prepared beforehand from somewhere and handed them to Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng took them and began to examine them one by one.
While examining the rough diamonds, they were also categorized by color and quality.
Actually, although the first suitcase contained some inferior diamonds, there were quite a few high-quality ones, and the overall quality was not bad. Most importantly, the quantity was considerable.
Shen Wancheng estimated that if she were the only one coming to South Africa to purchase diamonds, she might only be able to buy rough diamonds of this quality.
And it would cost at least a million US dollars.
This box of rough diamonds can only be considered "leftovers" from this batch.
How could this not make Shen Wancheng happy?
So when examining the first box of rough diamonds, Shen Wancheng couldn't help but praise Gu Jinxing several times.
Another idea began to sprout in my mind.
Perhaps the first diamond watch launched by her watch factory not only borrowed the design from Rolex's most classic "Rainbow Daytona" but could also be her planned couple's watch.
She and Gu Jinxing each had one.
