Sierra Leone is a country rich in diamonds, but due to backward technology, the diamond mining level has lagged behind. Many drilling mines still retain their work. Diamonds are so valuable that diamond workers can't help but have their own mistakes, which is to try their best to take the fruits of their labor. We know that diamonds are generally very small, with rice grains and soybeans, and rarely can pigeon eggs be mined. Small diamonds bring convenience to workers' opportunistic tricks. Some stuff diamonds into their braces, hide them in their skin wounds, swallow them in their stomachs, etc. There are various methods, only unexpected things, nothing can be done. Therefore, diamonds left among the people are very considerable. Mike has gained a lot in his years in Sierra Leone.

The finale of the diamond auction tonight was a 110.08-carat yellow diamond. The jewelry company represented by Mike attaches great importance to this diamond and hopes that he can shoot the diamond within the scope of the company's willingness to invest. But now, Mike found that Li Erdan also had a diamond of about 100-carat, so he couldn't help but have a bad idea and asked Erdan to sell the diamond to his jewelry company. The result was good. Mike opened the highest price to 2 million US dollars, but Erdan didn't agree.

To be honest, the $2 million is too tempting for Erdan, it is just pocket money. He just wanted to have a long experience at the auction. No matter how much the diamond was sold, he decided to donate it to Sierra Leone.

"Then how much do you want to sell?" Mike said in a furious manner.

Erdan thought for a while and said, "It will cost at least 10 or 20 million US dollars, the more it will be better."

"I fainted. You are just a diamond two hundred and five." Mike.

"Damn your uncle! I'm so big, you want to buy this diamond for $2 million. Are you thinking I'm a fool?" Erdan.

"Your diamond is indeed very big, but it is a raw diamond, not a finished product." Mike.

"You are reluctant to pay a lot of money, so I won't sell it to you." Erdan.

"If this diamond can be sold for $10 million, oh no, I can be sold for $5 million, I will write my name backwards."

...

With Mike's guarantee, Erdan entered the auction room as a seller after a identity verification. The auction location was a basement of the Diamond Trading Center. The light was a bit dim and it looked very ordinary. After all, this was a shameful auction, and the more low-key the appointment was made. On the auction rostrum, there was an auctioneer in a tuxedo, holding a small hammer, and a glass cover was placed on the table in front of him, and a diamond was placed inside the glass cover. Although the indoor lights were

It was very dark, but there was a projection light on the diamonds to be auctioned in the glass cover, so there was no problem in observing the diamonds. At this moment, there were still twenty minutes before the auction began, and basically all the people were there, about twenty people, very few, some sat on the chairs below, and some walked to the auction table to observe the diamonds. In such unjust auctions, few rich people appeared in person. They often asked managers to come forward for them, and when the auction was yelling, they contacted by phone to determine whether to shout or not.

There were originally three diamonds auctions tonight, and the highlight was the 110.08 carat yellow diamonds placed on the rostrum, and the other three were auction foils. Foil auctions were commonly used in auctions, used to warm up and activate the scene. Now Erdan joined in and wanted to auction a diamond, which would have four diamonds to be auctioned in total.

After Li Erdan approached the venue, led by Mike to the auction table, chatted with the auctioneer for a while, and told the auctioneer that they had a diamond to be auctioned. The auctioneer didn't care at first, thinking that it was some small diamonds to be auctioned, but when Erdan took out the diamond, the auctioneer was shocked. There was an accurate electronic balance on the scene, and the diamond weighed it. The 98 carats and 98 carats diamonds were also considered giant diamonds and were sought after.

The auctioneer asked Erdan to give a base price, and the auctioneer would raise the price based on this base price during the auction. No matter how much the auction is, the auctioneer would charge a 10% commission. Of course, the exception is the failure to sell.

The auctioneer himself has many treasures and many diamonds auctioned, so he has a relatively accurate psychological expectation of the auction results. He provided Erdan with a reference base price of 800,000 US dollars. Regarding this base price, Mike thought it was OK, but Li Erdan disagreed.

"800,000 US dollars, are you kidding me? This is too low, right?" Erdan.

"What do you think?" the auctioneer.

"My diamond is so big and so good, it costs at least $10 million!" Erdan.

"Fuck(⊙o⊙)..." the auctioneer.

"I'll ask you, what's the auction base price of the 110.08 carat diamond on the auction stand?" Erdan.

"$10 million." Auction.

"Damn, they are all diamonds of about 100 carats. The auction price is 10 million US dollars, and mine is only 800,000 US dollars. Is there anyone who bullies people like you? I won't auction it anymore and I will tell you!" Erdan.

"Others are cutting finished heart-shaped diamonds, yours are raw stones; others are yellow diamonds, yours are colorless diamonds, and others have an appraisal certificate, yours are not. Is it good that there is no comparison between each other? Now the auction is about to begin. If you don't auction, keep it yourself! Of course, I can give you a suggestion that cutting diamonds into finished products can sell them at a higher price." The auctioneer.

Mike shook his head helplessly, and even felt embarrassed because Li Erdan was brought in. At this time, he was even willing to pay $2 million to buy Erdan's diamonds, but Erdan was unwilling to sell because $2 million was not at all attractive to him.

A large part of the value of diamonds will be reflected in color. The prices of diamonds of the same quality and weight can vary by ten or a hundred times. Generally speaking, the less color the more valuable the value, the cheapest color, the cheapest color, and the most expensive blue, red and pink. Of course, the color also has regional differences. For example, in our Chinese yellow is considered an imperial color, so yellow diamonds are also very popular.

In addition to color, diamond cutting is also very important, and it can even double the value of diamonds.

Although Li Erdan is a big diamond, although it is large, it does not show much value. The auctioneer will most likely choose to cut it when he gets auctioned, and cutting also has to take risks.
