Han Lie looked very surprised.

To be honest, he really wasn't trying to show off, but he really didn't expect that Lu Yisi's quotation was so "reasonable".

In fact, he was already prepared to be asked for an irrational price by the other party's lion.

Top-quality loose stones are non-renewable and rare resources for any jewelry brand. If one is used up and one is missing, no one can be sure when the next one will appear.

What should I do if I can’t replenish new products?

A top customer wants to customize a piece of jewelry, but you tell them: We can't find the right gemstone now... Isn't it embarrassing?

Moreover, selling bare stones is indeed not in line with the principle of maximizing profits. Han Lie can figure this out without Lu Yisi reminding him.

Therefore, Han Lie was mentally prepared to be shouted at up to 1.8 million yuan.

22.8 carats, each carat cost 1.8 million yuan, and the total price was 41.04 million yuan. After further bargaining, the price was won at an auspicious figure of 38.88 million yuan. It was quite a gimmick.

Han Lie showed his sincerity to Pan Zianni, and Cartier could boast gloriously, and everyone was happy.

What's the result?

What price did Lu Yisi quote?

"...So, after careful consideration, our company's senior management decided to sell you this romantic star at a price of 1.4 million yuan per carat!"

What?

How cheap is it?

Han Lie was stunned and blurted out this sentence.

I took off my pants, and I was mentally prepared for the bully to hit me hard, but you just followed it?!

Not only did Lu Yisi obey, but his eyes widened, as if he was stunned and speechless.

Too fierce, too fierce!

God of Fire, please take away your magical powers. I can't bear it anymore!

As for Ralph, Li Yi, Miss Fan, Assistant Liang and others on the side, they couldn't even speak and were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

With such an outrageous price, do you want to make a deal directly?!

In fact, Han Lie did have a high opinion of the gem market.

In his previous life, he was a complete layman in this area. Not to mention seeing it with his own eyes, he rarely received push notifications in this area even when he was browsing Douyin.

So he thought the gem market was too high and out of reach.

The real situation is - it is true that top-quality gemstones are very expensive, but their value retention rate is not so outrageous.

From the first year of the 20th century until 2025, when Han Lie was reborn, the increase in top diamonds, rubies and sapphires was not even one-tenth of the increase in jade.

If priced in yuan, they don't even beat inflation.

The former richest man in the mining province once bought a top-quality emerald necklace at an auction on Hong Kong Island for more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars. That was about two thousand years ago.

By 2025, a necklace with the same main gemstone can be purchased for approximately RMB 40 million.

It has increased three times, which seems like a lot, but what is the inflation figure over the years?

This is the embarrassing thing about top-quality gemstones. Its price has an invisible upper limit, but the speed of currency depreciation does not.

As long as the United States continues to hold world hegemony, it can continue to export inflation to every territory and country on the planet.

Under such circumstances, gold cannot beat inflation, let alone gems?

Moreover, the world's top richest people basically have a consensus - with the development of technology, gems that are rare now may not remain rare in the future.

In fact, as early as the 1960s, De Beers was able to produce synthetic diamonds.

Relatively speaking, the artificial synthesis of rubies and sapphires is more difficult, but it can be overcome sooner or later - all elements can theoretically be synthesized artificially, the difference is only the cost.

When the cost of artificial products is low enough and the quality is enough to be real, the market for natural gems will not collapse immediately, but it will definitely stagnate, so their prices must have an upper limit, and there must be an upper limit.

Judging from the current situation, except for those national treasure-grade rough stones over 100 carats, the upper limit for gemstones between 20 and 30 carats is roughly around 1.2 million yuan.

And Lu Yisi bit the bullet and quoted 1.4 million yuan, which was already outrageous.

However, Han Lie's reaction was even more outrageous.

Of course, with Han Lie's current IQ, he had already reacted immediately after speaking - Oh, it seems that I have overestimated them...

If it's so cheap, why consider it?

"3192 meters, right? Round it up, I want it."

Han Lie spoke lightly, resting his elbows on the table, tapping the table with his left index finger, and nonchalantly fiddling with the ruby ​​that had set a record price with his right index finger, as carelessly as a child playing with marbles.

Lu Yisi was completely stunned.

At this moment, when he looked at Han Lie, he felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be emitting holy light.

my lord!

Have you finally heard my prayer and sent an angel to save your lost lamb?!

Lu Yisi's best plan is to sell Romantic Star for US$1.25 million.

Don't think it's cheap, it's already well beyond the highest price in history. The previous transaction price at the auction was only 1.2 million yuan.

And once the deal is completed at a record-breaking price of 1.25 million, promotion and salary increase will be out of the question!

Even colleagues from top jewelry brands sent heartfelt congratulations and regarded him as a hero.

Because this price will form a new benchmark and comprehensively enhance the premium capabilities of the entire industry, it will not only benefit Cartier itself.

Lu Yisi was already prepared for a long tug of war, but he really didn't expect that Han Lie would be so wealthy...

So, should we agree to the other party’s request to erase zeros?

Or try harder and earn a little more?

Lu Yisi didn't even think about it, and immediately reached out his hand: "30 million yuan! It's yours!"

Don't hesitate, any more hesitation would be disrespectful to the local tycoon.

With a unit price of US$1.315 million, this is such a beautiful thing that I can’t even dream of!

What kind of bike do you want?

The right way is to collect money quickly, report quickly, and celebrate achievements quickly!

Han Lie smiled softly and was about to reach out to shake hands with Lu Yisi, but his arms tightened and Miss Fan hugged her tightly.

Her voice was clearly trembling: "That's how you decided? Don't think about it anymore?!"

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so upset.

On Cartier's territory, how much hate would you get if you interfered with other people's business?

With her emotional intelligence, it's not normal.

But this was an abnormal situation. She was too shocked and didn't understand.

That’s 30 million yuan!

Even if you don’t go to war, simply negotiate the price, and the deal is 28 million yuan, does it save the more than 10 million yuan cost of opening a solo exhibition?

Where can I buy things like this?

Is your money blown by the strong wind?!

Her thoughts are truly normal thoughts.

And Han Lie is obviously not a normal person.

Speaking in a small way, the more expensive and sensational the first formal gift given to Pan Ge, the more sincerity it can show.

This gem was not only given to her, but also for Panzi and Anni to see.

To put it more broadly, Han Lie is in urgent need of experience. Even with 79 points of intelligence, it is difficult to defeat Sister Bai. He has never won against both sisters at the same time.

Fighting Landlords not only requires intelligence, but also skills and the physical fitness and strength to support the skills.

It may seem worthless to win a gemstone for 30 million yuan, but in fact, it is worth winning money inside and out. With nearly 400 million experience points, you can increase the four attributes to the full value of 89 points.

What other priorities need to be considered now?

Looks, figure, physique, and specialness all come together!

The most useful intelligence is not in a hurry. Don’t we still have 27.38 million yuan left?

Simply go through a round and replace them all with gems of the next level. Even if you can't give them away for a while and you can't get double experience points, the experience points generated by the purchase are enough.

Han Lie couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of being able to improve his body by another level soon.

So he smiled brightly and nodded to Miss Fan, who was obviously a little regretful: "Thank you for reminding me, I know there is a lot of premium, but the girl I want to give is worthy of such a price."

In an instant, Miss Fan was confused.

who I am?

Where am I?
