Chapter 816-817 Diamond Mine

After returning to the hotel, Zhuang Rui didn't tell the crew about this. He was leaving tomorrow anyway so as not to worry them in vain.

Zhuang Rui didn't leave the hotel all afternoon. He ate at the restaurant in the hotel in the evening and went to bed early.

According to George's arrangement, he will first visit George's company's diamond mine tomorrow morning, and then after the exchange opens the bid at three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhuang Rui will rush directly from the exchange to the airport and leave Johannesburg.

"Mr. Zhuang, you can leave now..."

Early the next morning, Zhuang Rui was knocked on the door by George and shouted. After eating some breakfast, everyone gathered together, checked out the hotel room, and then got into the armored personnel carrier at the door of the hotel.

The two stewardesses were obviously a little surprised by the pomp and circumstance of Zhuang Rui's trip, but He Shuang, who had served as a soldier, was a little excited. After getting on the bus, he kept looking at the machine guns on the armored personnel carrier. Each of the yellow and orange balls was as thick as a little finger.

The bullets and the golden one-meter-long metal bullet chain are all real.

Driving an armored vehicle in Johannesburg is definitely a relatively rare thing. The waiter at the hotel door looked at Zhuang Rui at this time, which was particularly exciting. He did not expect that the person he offended the day before yesterday would have such deep hatred in South Africa.

background.

Despite the thickness of the armored body, the running speed is not slow. On an empty road with no people, it can run at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour. After more than two hours, the convoy turned from the asphalt road to a dirt road, and the speed was also

Slowed down.

"Mr. Zhuang, we've arrived..."

More than half an hour later, Zhuang Rui, who was sitting in a sealed can, felt the car stop and George's voice sounded outside.

"This...this is...a diamond mine?"

Zhuang Rui looked at the empty field in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. In his imagination, there should be many black people working here, and the sound of roaring machinery should be heard in his ears, not what he saw.

The open fields were simply fenced off with wires, and every two to three hundred meters away there was a security guard holding a submachine gun.

About ten meters away from the car, there is a simple small building with more than 30 rooms on two floors. It must be where the miners and security guards live.

But no one should come here to cause trouble. The security guard very close to Zhuang Rui was sitting on a big rock, smoking a cigarette leisurely.

It was hard for Zhuang Rui to imagine that the mine of a powerful diamond company could be so crude.

You know, according to Qin Haoran's introduction, this diamond company is ranked among the top three in South Africa. At least tens of thousands of broken diamonds flow from here to all over the world every year.

"Mr. Zhuang, welcome to my diamond mine..."

A white man in his forties, accompanied by three armed security guards, walked out of the only house in this wilderness and greeted Zhuang Rui and others.

Looking at the guy wearing jeans and a visor on his head, Zhuang Rui immediately thought of the American western movies he had watched a long time ago. If this guy had a revolver hanging on his butt, the whole thing would be a mess.

American western cowboy.

"Are you Mr. Kenneth Wayne?"

Although the visitor was dressed casually, Zhuang Rui did not dare to underestimate the Americans in front of him.

Wayne is a legend in South Africa and even around the world. When he was eleven or twelve years old, Wayne became crazy interested in the gold rush in the United States and Canada in the 18th and 19th centuries.

He talks wildly about becoming the largest gold mine owner in the world.

However, Wayne's ideals deviated slightly from reality. In the mid-1980s, Wayne came to South Africa for his dream. At that time, he was just a young man in his early twenties with only a few hundred dollars.

.

Wayne started his business as a diamond broker. He helped customers from all over the world select diamonds. In the process, Wayne not only gained a deep understanding of diamonds, but also accumulated his first pot of gold.

Later, Wayne spent more than 200,000 US dollars to circle a piece of land that experts thought was impossible to produce diamonds. However, Wayne successively found three giant diamonds weighing more than 100 carats on this land, which caused a sensation.

The whole world.

Afterwards, Wayne spent more than ten years to create assets worth more than one billion US dollars and became a world-famous diamond tycoon. He was completely a modern version of the gold rush fortune of the 18th and 19th centuries.

"Mr. Wayne, I didn't expect to see you here..."

"Haha, Zhuang, do you think this place is very crude? This is a mine that I have newly developed. I will be trading diamonds in Johannesburg recently, so I will live here temporarily..."

Wayne laughed when he heard this. He knew that Zhuang Rui would be very disappointed when he saw this, and then said: "My biggest dream is to be a western cowboy, to take risks like a cowboy, and to pan for gold. Of course, I am panning for gold now."

It’s a diamond…”

"Haha, Mr. Wayne, I think you have realized your dream. Wherever there are diamonds in the world, there is your legend..."

Zhuang Rui complimented Wayne a few words, which made the diamond tycoon extremely happy. He waved his hand and said: "Zhuang, I'm very happy to see you. I have decided to open the mine to you for an hour. If you can do it in this

If you dig out diamonds within hours, the diamonds you dig up will belong to you..."

Zhuang Rui had a good temper with this cowboy gentleman and immediately said: "Isn't it right? Mr. Wayne, it will take two hours no matter what. One hour is simply not enough..."

"No... no, Zhuang, my new mine was a volcanic river in ancient times. In other words, it is an open-pit mine, and it is also a rich ore. If you are lucky, you can dig it.

Diamond..."

Wayne corrected Zhuang Rui's statement. In fact, even in an open-pit mine, the place where the ore is produced is probably about one meter deep. Wayne is not worried about what kind of ore Zhuang Rui and the others can dig. He just uses this to communicate with Zhuang Rui.

Rui is just trying to get closer.

Nowadays, China's diamond jewelry market is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more customers from China. Wayne pays great attention to his interactions with Chinese customers. Using such small means can increase the friendship between each other. How about Wayne?

What about enjoying it but not doing it?

Of course, if Zhuang Rui is really lucky, then Wayne wouldn't mind giving them the diamonds they dug up as gifts. As long as Zhuang Rui didn't dig up a huge diamond, Wayne could still afford the loss.

In South Africa, there are many exhausted mines that have been turned into mineral parks. Tourists only need to pay a small amount of money to enter the ground to hunt for treasure. If they are lucky, they may also get a few missing diamonds.

.

Inspired by South Africa, there are similar diamond theme parks in some volcanic spots in the United States. However, the people who go there are basically just for fun, and it is rare to hear that anyone can dig diamonds.

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, the generous Mr. Wayne is going to give away diamonds. Let's all try our luck..."

Zhuang Rui turned back and said to the crew with a smile. He knew that diamonds could be formed under high temperature and pressure. If there had been a volcanic river here before, then there should have been a primary diamond mine on the place that originally belonged to the river bed.

"marvelous……"

"Wow, Diamond, here we come..."

"Can you two with thin arms and thin legs be able to dig?"

After everyone behind them heard Zhuang Rui's words, they couldn't help shouting with joy, especially the two girls. Diamonds were not particularly attractive to them. After receiving the pickaxe and sieve from the security office, they happily went to mine.

Walk to the area.

The iron pick is used to dig out the soil, while the sieve is used to screen diamonds. This is a very detailed task, because many diamonds are extremely small and will be missed if you are not careful.

"Mr. Wayne, can I do that too?"

Seeing the excitement of Liuli and others, Zhuang Rui also became interested. He just made a rough observation with the spiritual energy in his eyes. This is really a rich mine, because there are weak spiritual energy fluctuations just ten meters away from Zhuang Rui.

.

"Of course, my friend, even if you get nothing, I will give you a diamond..."

The reason why Wayne is so generous is because during his phone call with Zhuang Rui yesterday, he learned that Zhuang Rui quoted a very suitable price for his batch of loose diamonds.

"Well, Mr. Wayne, I hope you won't regret it. My luck has always been very...well, very good!"

Zhuang Rui used an extra word and emphasized his tone. He was afraid that he would find a good diamond soon and Wayne would be reluctant to give it to him.

"Oh, then I'm really losing money..."

Wayne laughed. He designated a place for Zhuang Rui and others to dig diamonds. However, after shoveling the ground several times with a shovel, almost all of it was combed. Wayne did not believe that Zhuang Rui could really dig out anything good from it.

goods?

"Peng Fei, I'll do the digging, and I'll leave the job of sifting diamonds to you..."

When Zhuang Rui saw that Liuli and the others had already started working, he quickly picked up a shovel from the ground, threw a sieve to Peng Fei, and ran to the designated place.

"Why? I still want to dig..."

Peng Fei was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui's distribution method, so he also copied a shovel and followed him.

"Wow, Sister Liuli, we dug up diamonds!"

As soon as Zhuang Rui walked to the place where the bulldozers made ravines, he heard Tianya's excited shouts. The two sisters also had a division of labor. Liuli was digging with a shovel, while Tianya was sifting.

Tianya's words attracted He Shuang and Ding Hao, who were working hard. These two brothers were not smart enough. They could only dig but not sift. It would be difficult to identify diamonds with the naked eye.

"Mr. Zhuang, look at this, is this a rough diamond?"

Tianya happily put the diamond, which was only about the size of a mung bean and looked a bit like frosted glass, into Zhuang Rui's hand. There was still some dirt on the surface of the diamond.

"Yes, this is a rough diamond. Beautiful lady, you are very lucky..."

Wayne, who was following Zhuang Rui, recognized it at a glance. Even though it was so small, it should be about one carat after processing. Even if the purity of this diamond is not good, it is worth at least more than 10,000 RMB.

.

"Yes, the purity is not bad. It is probably worth about 30,000 yuan. Our women's army is very powerful. Lao He, don't just dig the soil, but also use a sieve to sift it..." Zhuang Rui said to He Shuang and Ding Hao who looked envious.

He came up with an idea and casually returned the diamond to Tianya.

Although this place has been mined, along the way, Zhuang Rui discovered that there were still many diamonds scattered under the ground. Even without a shovel, as long as there was time, many diamonds could still be screened out.

However, these fish that have slipped through the net are basically goods of less than one carat, and are not worth much when sold.

Tianya and Liuli were very lucky. They found the first diamond, which was quite large. Zhuang Rui took a cursory glance and gave it a price of thirty thousand.
