The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 355: Eye of Golconda

After noon the next day, Zhang Nan and his gang arrived at Manu Jain's diamond processing factory-eat first before doing business, otherwise everyone would feel that they would starve to death in India!

Zhang Nan even has the heart to transport food directly from Europe: at least tens of billions of wealth, the part that can see people is billions of dollars, and he still lives on rice and salted radishes every morning, which is not allowed. Have you been happily hunting for treasures?

The family diamond group that Jia Yin belongs to has a nice name: Red Rose Group, with a big sign on the door of the factory, which is very eye-catching. Eight? One? Chinese W ㈠ W? W?. ㈧8?1㈧Z㈧W?. COM

Mumbai is very close to the suburbs, and it is unavoidable that it is surrounded by the humble residences of low-income Mumbai citizens: unlike Zhang Nan's factory in Tonghang City, Yan County, it is best not to approach people with intensive phobias.

The tall fence separates the factory building from the surrounding dwellings. As soon as the convoy entered, the rows of factory buildings inside were high and low. The old two-row single-storey factory buildings may have been built in the 1960s and 70s, with mottled walls; the new 4-storey factory building is quite new, and it seems that it should have been built in the past two years.

"This is a big factory, a very powerful processing factory!"

When I got out of the car, Zhang Nan heard the brother-in-law in front talking to Brother Guan: It's a big factory, and there are more than 35oo cutting workers in a diamond processing factory. What is it if it is not a big factory? !

However, if you change to Hangzhou, the 35oo-person large factory covers an area of ​​at least several times that of here: Although this factory area occupies a large area, it is too crowded inside, and the visual sense is similar to the crowded houses outside.

Manu Jain had already taken a few people to wait for him in front of the four-story factory building. Zhang Nan guessed that the diamond company's office should be in this building.

After some greetings and introduction, it turned out that among the people who were like the guests, in addition to the three senior executives of the Red Rose Group, there was also a tall man in his 30s who was the cousin of Manu Jain, named Dilip. -Mehta, also came from Gujarat, and his hometown is near the village of Babarumpur where the Jain family is located.

The Jain family established a huge diamond kingdom by marriage. This young Dilip Mehta is regarded as an outstanding figure among the younger generation in one of the "groups" in this huge diamond kingdom.

However, unlike Manu Jain's hard work in Mumbai, the main base of the Dilip Mehta family is in Surat, 25o kilometers north of Mumbai, where there are more than four times as many diamond industry employees as Mumbai!

The jewelry group controlled by the Mehta family is called the "Blue Rose Group": two jewelry groups, two roses, in India, blue and rose red symbolize the clear sky, and the rose also represents joy-these two married families are in It's a bit of a pursuit to name the company, and it's quite a tacit understanding.

"Dilip just arrived this morning and brought the top polished diamonds of our two families in Sutra..."

The Jain family also has many properties in Sutra, which is also the result of Manu's call yesterday.

Everyone entered the factory building, Manu walked and introduced.

There is an elevator, so there is no need to climb stairs.

Generally, Indian factories don't have this equipment, but when you enter the elevator, this is a huge freight elevator with elevators inside. It is probably more convenient for the diamond processing equipment to go up and down by elevator.

As for elevator operators...who makes labor in India so cheap? Huaxia may need three people to work in India alone. The boss doesn't care at all, and there are probably reasons why ordinary employees are forbidden to use elevators without problems.

It is estimated that the saved electricity bill is enough to feed a few elevator workers-electricity bills in India are not cheap!

Following the chat, according to Manu's introduction, Zhang Nan learned that the first, second and third floors here are all diamond cutting and polishing workshops, and the fourth floor is the sorting workshop and administrative staff's office.

Fortunately, as soon as I walked into the huge office of Manu Jain, it was a chill — there was air conditioning.

Not to mention the 1980s, even after 20 years, the offices of Indian government departments are often not equipped with air conditioners, and they rely on electric fans to blow.

This Manu Jain is one to enjoy.

Don't rush to visit the factory. There is no air conditioner. Even if the temperature is high, those workers with meager salaries can only work under the fans.

If I go to the factory, I may be sweating this time, and the business will not be good.

There were 6 people on Zhang Nan's side in the office. As a personal bodyguard, Alyosha stood in the corner like an iron tower, and the other bodyguards stayed in the outside lounge.

Don't worry about safety, 6 people are enough to come in.

"Everyone, the diamonds Dilip brought from Surat this time, as well as my best diamonds, are here. The price is definitely more than 20% cheaper than the New York market.

A company executive wearing white gloves took out several trays from the safe, and hundreds of diamonds, large and small, were displayed in front of everyone.

"Round diamonds are unnecessary. Nicole and Jenny and I don't like them."

I simply ignore all 57-faceted round diamonds-personal preference, small round diamonds are very beautiful, but once they are more than 5 carats, Zhang Nan feels a little weird and can only be used as the life of a giant diamond necklace.

Colorless diamonds and colored diamonds are available.

Zhang Nan picked up a pear-shaped colorless diamond, and Dilip Mehta said on one side: "This is the'Eye of Golconda', weighing 4o.o5 carats, completely flawless, e colorless. "

It is very rare for a giant diamond of this size to reach the colorless level. The most advanced d (completely colorless level) is often blown up, not to mention that it is completely flawless.

Zhang Nan does not have to worry that the other party will pit himself: if there is a problem with the diamond, the names of the two Indian diamond families will be stinky, not to mention the Indian government will be furious.

However, Zhang Nan has a question, "Mr. Mehta~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As far as I know, after the Golconda diamond mine was buried by a mudslide in 187o, wasn't it completely scrapped?"

This is a diamond originally produced in India, with a quality appraisal certificate issued by the "Blue Rose Group"-it is not a certificate issued by the mine, Antwerp or the Gemological Institute of America, but the Indians themselves.

Dilip Mehta smiled and said: "This was purchased by our group from a Queen of the Fallen Earth in the central region in January this year. The mining time may be about 400 years, and it originally weighed 65 carats.

The original cut was terrible, and it contained a tiny crack nearly 5 mm in length. We re-optimized the cutting and polishing in more than 3 months, and got a total of three diamonds, one large, two small. "

After listening to this, I understand.

Dilip Mehta also took out a small folder from his bag, which contained the original photo of the "Eye of Golconda", and two other small diamonds were also in it: the large one, 7.86 carats, the small one. That one is only 1.2 carats.

After the 65 carat diamond is re-cut, there are less than 50 carats left, which is not bad-weight is important, but in many cases quality is more important!
