Chapter 969 20 million pink diamonds(2/2)
"20 million yuan!" Sister Lin quickly calculated the exchange rate.
Li Wenjuan exclaimed softly: "Just such a necklace, 20 million yuan? It's not as good-looking as gold!"
Wang Lin smiled and said: "Wenjuan, your aesthetics still need to be improved. Why are diamonds not as beautiful as gold?"
Li Wenjuan retorted: "Diamonds are stones, and gold is gold. Why do stones look better than gold? Westerners like to wear stones, but we Easterners still like gold. In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor and the Empress all used gold, but I have never seen anyone use it.
diamond."
Wang Lin was speechless for a moment.
He suddenly thought of some comments that later generations had seen while surfing the Internet.
Some people say that diamonds are a marketing scam.
When a small stone is sold for hundreds of millions of yuan, isn't it a scam in the field of commercial marketing? But even so, the diamond market is still active with sky-high price transactions.
To a certain extent, a diamond is just a stone, and its own value is even less than that of a piece of cabbage. However, after a series of marketing operations, coupled with the scarcity of mining, its price continues to rise.
But in fact, diamond reserves are not scarce. The amount of diamonds that have been discovered exceeds 2.5 billion carats. If all are mined, each Chinese citizen will be able to get an average of 2 carats of diamonds.
In this case, why are diamonds so expensive? This has something to do with a mining company called De Beers.
Founded in 1888, this company is the largest and oldest diamond company in the world. It has been synonymous with diamonds since its inception. During World War II, it acquired most of the world's diamond mines. It once monopolized the entire diamond industry for a hundred years.
For a long time, this also means that the price of diamonds is determined by me, the output is determined by me, and the grade of diamonds is also determined by me. This is what they do.
The price of diamonds has been unable to rise until after 1950, when diamantaires came up with a trick, which was to tie diamonds with love and spend a lot of money on publicity to make the public believe that diamonds represent faithful love.
Coupled with hunger marketing, the price of diamonds has skyrocketed.
After Sister Lin asked about the price, she was immediately shocked.
If it was only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, she might still buy it.
However, this diamond ring was sold for 20 million yuan. This sky-high price discouraged her and she did not dare to think too much about it.
Li Wenjuan said: "There's no need to buy it. This kind of thing doesn't look good. If you have money, it's better to buy gold. It can also appreciate in value! It's not a bad investment."
Sister Lin pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just taking a look. Where can I afford it? Even if I sell it, it won't be worth 20 million."
Wang Lin coughed lightly: "I'll pay 20 million! I'll buy you."
Sister Lin giggled and hit him with her hand: "You are a human trafficker! You bought me! What are you buying me for?"
Li Wenjuan said: "When a man buys a woman, of course he will use her as his wife!"
Sister Lin said: "Wang Lin has a wife! Do you still want to buy a wife?"
Li Wenjuan said: "Just be my little wife!"
Sister Lin said: "Hey, Wenjuan, you are quite open-minded! Shouldn't you scold your brother-in-law?"
Li Wenjuan curled her lips proudly: "Hee! I know he was joking! You are so good and a big star, how can you still be my brother-in-law's little boy?"
Sister Lin said: "Hey, if your brother-in-law really finds a wife outside, what would you think?"
"Really found one? Is that impossible? My sister-in-law is so good!" Li Wenjuan flashed her beautiful big eyes, but what she was thinking about was the matter between herself and Wang Lin.
Wang Lin coughed lightly: "That's enough! Stop making fun of me."
Sister Lin took Li Wenjuan's hand and walked forward.
Wang Lin waved to Clara.
Clara took two steps forward: "Mr. Wang Lin, please tell me something."
Wang Lin whispered a few words to her.
Clara smiled slightly: "I understand, I'll do it right away."
Wang Lin still accompanied Sister Lin and the others to the trade fair.
Nothing from Cartier is cheap. Cartier is a luxury brand to begin with, and the prices it sells are extremely high.
A diamond of the same weight can be bought for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan outside, but it may cost tens to hundreds of thousands more here. These premiums belong to the costs of brands and designers.
Wang Lin could afford all the things here, but he didn't buy a single item while shopping.
Li Wenjuan is not interested in diamonds because in China, people around her are proud of gold.
Sister Lin thought the pink diamond was particularly eye-catching and beautiful, so she took a few more glances.
They came out of Cartier's exhibition, and it was already a dimly lit night outside.
"I heard that there are many bars in Paris, brother-in-law, do we want to try them out?" Li Wenjuan held Wang Lin's hand and smiled.
Wang Lin said: "You can go and experience it, but only Uncle Zhong and I can go. You can go home and sleep!"
"Why?" Li Wenjuan jumped up, "I want to go too!"
Wang Lin smiled and said: "You also know that Paris is a romantic city, and women here are very open-minded. Men go to bars, of course, for the purpose of having an affair. If you women go there, you will be accosted by other men or even forcibly kissed! Do you dare to go?
?”
Li Wenjuan was frightened.
Sister Lin said: "Wenjuan, we don't want to go. The bars in Paris are really messy! We women can't go there."
Li Wenjuan pouted: "Well, I won't go, for fear of causing trouble. Brother-in-law, why don't you go too? Can you accompany us home to chat?"
Wang Lindao: "Didn't you say you asked me to go to the bar to experience it? And I'm not allowed to go? I want to go! Uncle Zhong, let's go and go to the bar to see if we can catch a beautiful French girl. I recently came to Paris
I’ve picked up a lot of models, and maybe I can even snag a famous model!”
