"So, the price I'll give you is 10,000 yuan per gram, not 10,000 yuan per carat. This is a price difference of five times. In total, one carat is only 2,000 yuan."
"Don't get excited, I'm just asking. Let's calculate it based on the price of 10,000 grams!"
Anyway, he was just pretending to be stupid just now. Can a tourmaline that can catch the eyes of the royal family be worth thousands of dollars each?
Seeing the staff who were flushed with excitement and spitting foam while talking, Chen Wenzhe decisively gave up the discussion. Normal people cannot argue with fools!
Anyway, he doesn't suffer any loss, and it seems to be more advantageous than buying sapphires.
Even if the quality of his batch of tourmalines does not reach the level of Paraiba, the quality is not much different.
You know, the price per carat of a top-quality Paraiba tourmaline is over $60,000. This is the price per carat, not the price per gram.
Even if the ones selected by Chen Wenzhe are not up to that level, they can still be easily sold for US$60,000 per gram.
So now, if people think the price is 10,000 per gram, it’s really nothing.
The price of a gram is 10,000 US dollars, which is 36 times different from the price of a gram of US$60,000. What else can Chen Wenzhe say?
Don't take advantage of the bastard, so Chen Wenzhe kept his mouth shut and planned to make a fortune in silence.
There are so many tourmalines here that he can find a lot of top quality ones just by picking them randomly.
Originally, he planned to pick out some rubies and even some gold bars.
Judging from the current situation, it is simply not necessary.
The price per gram is 10,000, and 100 million means buying 10,000 grams, which is ten kilograms. Two hundred million is just twenty kilograms.
Such a cubic tourmaline must weigh several tons?
After doing this calculation, Chen Wenzhe knew that the bonus he received this time was nothing compared to such a large number of treasures.
In fact, he was at a disadvantage. After all, the cowhide was invented by the government, and as long as it was found, it would give a 3% reward.
But now, with a general assessment of a value of tens of billions, Chen Wenzhe must have suffered a big loss.
However, he is very satisfied now, so he will work hard to select 20 kilograms of tourmaline.
It is very likely that all the tourmalines from all over the world poured into the country. Otherwise, how could there be so many top-quality tourmalines here?
I picked around and roughly looked through the tourmalines in the whole big box, and found that the quantity was almost enough.
"Not even close!" A staff member said with a bad expression.
Chen Wenzhe glanced at him, did he really eat his rice?
"If it's not enough, let's pick out a few rubies to keep as a souvenir!"
"Is it so troublesome?" the staff member's face became even more disgusting.
"Is there any trouble at work? It's not troublesome to go home and rest, but who pays the salary?"
This time, Chen Wenzhe fought back directly and got used to his bad habits.
Now that he has finished selecting his rewards, can he continue to spoil them?
The staff member choked and rolled his eyes, but he really didn't dare to offend Chen Wenzhe too much.
Not to mention other backgrounds and abilities, the only visible person is that he is a billionaire. He is an ordinary civil servant and cannot afford to offend!
Ruby is expensive, but of higher quality.
Although not all rubies are pigeon blood red, every ruby is very beautiful. Even those rubies that are not pigeon blood red should be priced no less than top-grade pigeon blood rubies because they are all unique and very beautiful.
Every time a ruby of this quality is taken out, it will cause a sensation.
And here, it is also packed in boxes.
The price this time is very high, and there is not much room for missing out.
Of course, this is the idea of the staff here. Chen Wenzhe does not think so.
Chen Wenzhe quickly selected ten rubies worth one million and collected ten million, which just made up for the remaining reward difference.
The staff here are not willing to let Chen Wenzhe choose ruby because the quality of ruby can be seen.
Pigeon blood red is the most expensive, and any one of good quality and large size can be sold for a sky-high price.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Wenzhe, but because he is small, doesn’t the price of pigeon blood red be lower?
For example, the first ruby Chen Wenzhe held in his hand was very beautiful.
Looking through this deep red gemstone, you can see the splendid brilliance like fireworks, which shines brightly after being refracted by the edges and corners.
If he was not mistaken, such a ruby was once sold for a sky-high price.
Don't look at this ruby, which seems to weigh only about ten carats. However, there was once a ruby weighing 8.62 carats that was auctioned by a London jeweler for US$3.6 million. The average price per carat is as high as US$420,000.
That ruby set a Christie's auction record at the time, so Chen Wenzhe remembered it very clearly.
Of course, there are not many situations like this. If he wants to maximize his own profits, he still needs to look for pigeon blood red.
Big pigeons don't have red blood, but if you search carefully, you can still find some larger ones, such as the one in Chen Wenzhe's hands now.
This ruby has a brilliant color, an excellent cut, and a large weight. It should probably exceed sixteen carats.
It's a little over three grams. If it were someone else, they would definitely not know how much it weighed, but Chen Wenzhe knew the exact weight as soon as he got his hands on it.
In other words, he can select the largest batch among these rubies that look about the same size.
If a ruby like this is hired by an excellent jewelry designer to make it into jewelry, then promote it, and sell it for millions of dollars, there will be no problem at all.
Because Chen Wenzhe knew that gemstones of the same grade and well-known ones could easily be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars.
Although the number of rubies here is relatively small, there are still thousands of rubies here.
Among so many rubies, it is not difficult to select a dozen that are of good quality and high price.
The ones that are big, have good colors, and are clean and transparent.
Next, Chen Wenzhe quickly picked out seven or eight of them according to this standard.
Some of them are not only cleaner and more transparent, but the six star lines are also sharper.
Then there are rubies with bright colors, uncarved, and complete crystals. Such rubies are obviously worth more.
In the end, Chen Wenzhe actually picked out a ruby weighing more than twenty carats. This was probably the largest ruby he could pick.
It is deep red in color, crystal clear, and dazzling under the light, which is breathtaking.
How could such a ruby be sold for a million dollars?
Therefore, even if he sells rough stones, he can still buy tens of millions of dollars for these ten rubies.
Converted into RMB, it is more than 60 million yuan, but he only used 10 million yuan to get it.
