"Mr. Zhuang, this... I'll give it to you..."

Tianya felt a little embarrassed. They didn't do much work when they were paid, but they came here to dig diamonds for the boss's sake. Tianya said and pushed the diamond into Zhuang Rui's hand again.

"No, this is the fruit of your labor. Mr. Wayne said that everything you dig up belongs to you. If you can dig up an African Star, you will really make a profit..."

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand. The Star of Africa he was talking about was a giant diamond that appeared in Africa at the end of the last century. It weighed 212 carats. It was finally sold to an unknown person at auction for 3,600 carats.

Million dollars were taken away.

Of course, Zhuang Rui was joking. If such a giant diamond really appeared, I am afraid Wayne would immediately take what he just said as a fart.

"Come on, Peng Fei, let's start working..."

After Zhuang Rui walked seven or eight meters, he suddenly felt that Peng Fei hadn't followed him. When he looked back, he saw that this guy was already busy with his butt stuck out with a shovel. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. If you want diamonds, it's not easy to follow him.

?

To be honest, Zhuang Rui doesn't like these leftover broken diamonds. According to his idea, he must find a three- to five-carat diamond no matter what, so that Wayne can feel sorry for him.

However, Zhuang Rui didn't feel the diamonds that were particularly full of spiritual energy when he was thirty or forty meters away, so he walked a little further away and looked up to see several machines running not far away.

"Mr. Wayne, your equipment is too bad, isn't it?"

The two bulldozers and excavators parked nearby were stained with rust and were only 30 to 50% new at most. As for the ore washing machine, it was even more shabby and made a "rattling" sound when it was rotating.

Four or five black men were operating the machinery. They put all the cleaned ore into a large iron plate for screening. However, these black men were only responsible for operating the machinery. They had nothing to do with screening diamonds.

Yes, there is a dedicated person in charge.

This method of digging diamonds is much more advanced than Zhuang Rui and others digging in the soil with a shovel and then sifting through it themselves.

"Zhuang, there is nothing we can do about this. There is no place to produce or assemble heavy machinery in South Africa. These machines are all bought from Japan and South Korea at high prices. Those damn guys, the things they sell are expensive and always broken...

Oh, by the way, in my other two mines, there are several "Dongfanghong" bulldozers produced in China, which were produced 20 years ago and are of excellent quality..."

As he spoke, Wayne raised his thumbs at Zhuang Rui. He has 12 diamond mines in South Africa. If they were all excavated by machinery, it would be a huge expense. Therefore, for an open-pit mine like this, Wayne

It is mostly done manually.

Zhuang Rui looked at Wayne with disdain. Nowadays, the Dongfanghong bulldozer produced 20 years ago can no longer be found in China. It is estimated that this guy got the machinery from the South African government that China used to aid Africa.

When Wayne saw Zhuang Rui holding a shovel but not digging, he touched Zhuang Rui with his hand and said mysteriously: "Zhuang, don't dig for ore. I'll take you to choose diamonds?"

The mining of diamonds is divided into several steps. The first is to select a mining area, then use machinery to dig out the ore and put it into a washing machine for cleaning. The last step is to screen the diamonds, which is also the most important step.

In South Africa, the step of selecting diamonds is usually carried out personally by the mine owners or their close associates. Moreover, mine owners in South Africa will never let black people do this work, and there are only a handful of them in South Africa.

The same goes for black mine owners in South Africa.

Many black workers in South Africa often have never seen large-carat rough stones after working for a lifetime, because they have no access to what comes out of the washing machine.

"Okay, I also want to see the output of Mr. Wayne's diamond mine..."

Zhuang Rui smiled and nodded. It was a rare thing to be invited by a diamond mine owner to visit the mineral processing.

Zhuang Rui followed Wayne back to the house. Two white drivers brought the crushed ore that had just been washed in the fine ore washing machine to the room. There were two security guards guarding the door with guns.

"Zhuang, there are now a total of twelve plates of diamonds that have not been screened. You can choose one, and I will give you the largest diamond you selected..."

Zhuang Rui bought Wayne's diamond worth 70 to 80 million U.S. dollars this time. Wayne sincerely wanted to give Zhuang Rui some gifts. Of course, if Zhuang Rui was too unlucky, there was nothing he could do.

Zhuang Rui glanced at the iron plates containing the ore, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then I... will choose the second plate..."

"Wish you good luck..."

Wayne said as he placed the first plate of ore on the stone selection table in the room. In fact, the so-called stone selection table is a table covered with animal skins, with a strong light on top, facing

desktop.

Wayne held a special wooden clamp in his hand and stared at the small black stones on the table. From time to time, he picked up a stone with the clamp and inspected it.

However, Wayne's luck didn't seem to be very good. From the first plate of ore, he only picked out two broken diamonds of less than one carat.

"Man, it's up to you..."

Wayne shrugged his shoulders, gave up his seat to Zhuang Rui, picked up the second plate, and tipped it upside down on the table.

"Haha, Wayne, I seem to have better luck than you..."

After Zhuang Rui pretended to fiddle with the ores for a few times, he accurately picked up a diamond and laughed loudly.

When Zhuang Rui entered the room just now, he noticed this diamond. It was of good purity and not small in size. When Zhuang Rui was secretly cursing Wayne for his bad luck, he didn't expect that Wayne would let him pick a plate.

Zhuang Rui will naturally not be polite when it comes to choosing.

"Shit, this...how is this possible?"

Having played with diamonds for half his life, Wayne could tell at a glance that the diamond on Zhuang Rui's clip must be at least six carats. After processing and sectioning, it was estimated to be about five carats, which was already considered a large diamond.

Even if it is a rough diamond, such a diamond is still expensive, estimated to be around 30,000 to 80,000 US dollars. Because he gave it away with just one word, Wayne was inevitably a little hurt.

"Don't worry, Wayne, there's still a lot on this plate..."

Zhuang Rui saw Wayne's ugly face and couldn't help but feel happy. There were indeed a lot of diamonds in the second plate. Zhuang Rui quickly picked them out with his right hand. There were nine diamonds in total, plus the first one.

pieces, the total weight should exceed 15 carats.

Seeing that in addition to the big diamond, Zhuang Rui actually picked out so many diamonds, Wayne's expression softened. He was afraid that Zhuang Rui was not careful in picking, so he went forward to sift through it again, and unexpectedly again

Not even one more was found.

"Zhuang, you should come and work for me, and I will pay you the highest salary in South Africa..."

Wayne smiled and joked to Zhuang Rui, picked up the large carat diamond and walked towards the analyzer.

He didn't doubt anything. You should know that mastering the method of selecting diamonds is the most basic quality that a diamond merchant must possess.

"Oh, man, you are really lucky. The luster is f-color and the purity can reach vvs2 level. You can give this diamond to your wife. It represents good luck...

But... Zhuang, you should work for me for an hour and help me pick out all the remaining diamonds..."

After testing it, Wayne threw the diamond to Zhuang Rui. Although the diamond was expensive, it was not enough to make Wayne regret it.

"Okay, as you wish..."

This job does not pose any challenge to Zhuang Rui. He only needs to use his spiritual energy to tell whether there are diamonds in the ore and where the diamonds are located.

In just over half an hour, Zhuang Rui picked out all the remaining diamonds. There were actually quite a few, sixty or seventy in total.

"Man, you're not a diamond player, are you? Stay and work for me..."

After weighing himself on the scale, Wayne shouted loudly. It was only a morning's work, but he had harvested more than a hundred carats of diamonds, which was the result of several days of work.

Wayne really had some thoughts of keeping Zhuang Rui.

People who have been in contact with diamond mine owners in South Africa may know that although these guys don't understand what feudalism is, they are extremely superstitious. They believe that those who screen diamonds must be lucky.

Therefore, in the South African diamond mines, the highest-paid people are not the miners, but the staff responsible for diamond screening.
