Luo Tian thought something and asked Cheng Zhen to take out the diamond. Cheng Zhen took out the diamond from the safe. The diamond was placed in an inconspicuous box. Luo Tian turned the box upwards and looked at the bottom first.
, he didn't see the logo of any jewelry company, and at this time he was even more confused. When he opened it, he saw the diamonds inside, and took a deep breath.
The diamonds lying in this inconspicuous box were as bright as blood and extremely gorgeous as if they were soaked in blood. Cheng Zhen was stunned: "Luo Tian, is this the legendary blood diamond?"
The diamond was not carefully carved, and Luo Tian took a breath: "This is indeed a blood diamond, and it is the most precious and rare among colored diamonds. Cheng Zhen, you may have heard of Laqi's blood diamonds.
”
"I have indeed heard of this, but I have never seen it. I remember that Laqi's Blood Diamond once participated in an auction, and many wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong flocked to it."
"Yes, as early as 1989, a blood diamond called Laqi was only 2.23 carats, with a price of $42 million. Compared with the price of gold at that time, it was more than 100,000 times that of gold.
Colorless diamonds are more than 2,000 times more expensive. Laqi blood diamonds are produced in Gorgonda, an ancient diamond mining area in India. "Luo Tian looked at the one in his hand: "This uncarved blood diamond, I don't know it is
It’s not like Raki, it comes from ancient India.”
"This man is really strange. Where did he get such a big blood diamond? And..." Cheng Zhen carefully recalled the scene when the man came: "He was wearing a hat, and the brim was pulled down very well, and he kept covering it.
I always feel something is wrong with this person in my own eyes. The cost of staying in advance is not expensive."
"How old is probably?" Luo Tian asked.
"Maybe he's about thirty-five years old. His voice is very strange and hoarse. At first I thought he had a cold. If I listened to his breath, it would be normal. It seems that his original voice was like this."
Cheng Zhen said again: "He put such a precious diamond here, but for so long, he never called to ask, nor did he ask if you were back, nor did he look anxious at all."
"Maybe..." Luo Tian said: "He thought this diamond was just right here, but it was safe." After saying that, Luo Tian himself was also silent. Isn't this doubt that the origin of the blood diamond is unknown?
Cheng Zhen also heard Luo Tian’s implicit meaning, and she even agreed: “Luo Tian, to be honest, I don’t want to accept it, so I kept suggesting him to go elsewhere, but… I still accepted it, you said, I
Will you be troublesome?"
Seeing that Cheng Zhen was starting to worry, Luo Tian immediately shook his head: "It's okay, Cheng Zhen, let Zhang Qiwei and the others use the machine to test this blood diamond and issue a specific inspection report, but... there should be no seal from our company on it.
, I won’t sign it on it. Anyway, you said that this customer doesn’t need to receive an appraisal certificate, right?”
"I understand, Luo Tian... you are so cunning." Cheng Zhen groaned.
Luo Tian was speechless: "I am called risk avoidance. If this blood diamond really comes from unknown sources, we will be involved."
"I know, I'm just teasing you." Cheng Zhen finished speaking, put the blood diamond back, and after that, he urged Luo Tian to look at other things: "You are famous now, and other appraisers want to
It’s not okay to help you. The guests asked you to identify them and they had to ask for your autograph certification. So you have to come here once every half a month. This is the lowest standard, do you understand?"
"I understand. I won't make you embarrassed." Luo Tian said: "I think Zhang Qiwei and Yuan Jie have been working together almost. With you taking care of the overall situation, I feel much more relieved."
Cheng Zhen glared at him: "It's not that fast. Repairing the company now depends on regular customers. It takes some effort to attract new customers. So when you are traveling outside, don't forget this and advertise for the company in a timely manner.
, do publicity.”
"Recipe the order!" Luo Tian smiled and bowed, and Cheng Zhen sighed helplessly: "I really can't do anything to you. OK, let's continue working."
Next was a landscape painting. Luo Tian looked at it and shook his head: "This looks like a painting by Li Keran."
Cheng Zhen glared at him again: "Just say it directly, don't use words that look like it, right, or no?"
"No." Luo Tian said: "This is a imitation. Mr. Li Keran is the apprentice of Mr. Qi Baishi. His best attitude is landscape painting. He cleverly absorbs and draws on the light and dark treatment of Western paintings. He boldly innovates in light and composition, and forms the
The brand new landscape painting pattern of black, full, heavy, bright, and bright. Li Keran's last studio name was Motian Pavilion. It should have been signed in 1988 on some works, and this painting is indeed signed in
The name of Motian Pavilion.”
Cheng Zhen said impatiently: "Let me talk quickly, where is the flaw?"
"There are three flaws in total. First, the paper and ink are incorrect. Mr. Li Keran has very high requirements for paper and ink. The paper should be made of high-quality and clean leather of a considerable age. The ink should be made of Qianlong imperial ink, and it is now ground and used to practice.
2. Mr. Li Keran is very skilled. He can draw seven or eight or even dozens of levels in a landscape painting, but this painting only has three or four levels, and the picture is a mess. The last flaw is this signature.
Mr. Keran, I have practiced the characters for a lifetime. In my later years, I signed the gold and stone spirit very strongly. I really feel like the quiver of gold and iron. This signature is light and soft, and has no skill. With such skills, I actually imitate Li Keran
Mr.’s masterpiece is really annoying.”
"Okay." Cheng Zhen said: "You, otherwise why would he say he was a imitation?"
Luo Tian smiled: "Okay, let's put this painting away. If the owner of this painting knew that this painting was worth at most one or two hundred yuan, I don't know what I thought about it."
"According to the owner, I spent 120,000 yuan when I bought it," said Cheng Zhen.
"Ten hundred and twenty thousand?" Luo Tian shook his head: "This is just a teaching fee. In this circle, who hasn't paid a few tuition fees, it's better if he gets used to it. Thinking about it, although I didn't pay much money at the beginning, I was very happy.
I also paid a lot of tuition fees in the eighth place."
"It turns out you have such a day." Cheng Zhen smiled and said, "I thought you were a genius when you came out of your mother's womb. It turned out that you had been through bumps step by step. No wonder you can feel a little bit when you see others paying tuition fees now.
Neither."
"Okay, weren't you urging me just now? Me, there are so many messy things now, I have to get rid of them and leave quickly." Luo Tian felt a little embarrassed after saying that: "Cheng Zhen..."
"If you're sorry, or you're embarrassed to do this, then save money."
