Bi Fang wrapped the torch around his forearm and tied a slender piece of animal skin on his forehead. At the same time, he made a second torch, found the gap between the rocks, and inserted it into it to provide light.
With everything ready, Bi Fang climbed down bit by bit along the rock wall next to the round platform.
Harley stood at the edge of the round platform, stuck his head out to look around, raised his forelimbs and scratched them downwards a few times, and finally retracted his claws and walked around on the platform.
Since entering the mine, the unique environment has left no room for it to perform, so the leopard's presence has not been high.
Looking further and further away, Harley called out several times, but when there was no response, he had no choice but to lie on the ground and wait for Bifang to come up within the circle of light.
"call."
The air surges, rushes into the lungs along the nose and mouth, and flows to the limbs and bones.
There are no stable enough fixed points nearby, and there is no way to tie a safety rope, so you can only climb with bare hands. In addition, there is not enough light, so you can imagine how difficult it is.
The audience was all frightened and their palms were sweating.
The depressing environment and difficult movements made even Bi Fang sweat profusely.
At this time, the animal skin on the forehead comes into play. It can effectively absorb sweat and prevent it from slipping into the eyes. There is no need to bother to wipe it off, and you can concentrate more on climbing.
"Switching to gold ore, the cost can be recovered by refining 1 gram of gold from 1 ton of ore. It can be seen that the average value of diamond per unit mass is greater than gold."
The process of obtaining it personally is the act of hanging the medal on your chest.
"Because diamonds originate from ore deposits and need to be sorted from ore, they are mineral products, so they have economic value. There is no doubt that they are by definition."
There is almost no wind in the cave, and the falling rock ash has accumulated over the years, causing the dust underneath to be several millimeters thick.
The soles of the shoes landed on the ground, but there was not much sound. The dust as thick as a carpet had a perfect effect, and part of the dust raised almost reached the calves.
Of course, he doesn't really lack the money, unless there is a pink diamond the size of a pigeon egg underneath.
Just like the scars on a hunter's body, they are a symbol of courage.
Seeing such a scene, water friends couldn't help but wonder whether those few diamonds of poor quality were worth the risk.
The skull of the skull at the bottom was shattered, leaving only half intact, and its empty eye sockets seemed to be staring at the explorers who entered this place.
Those rare trophies are also proof that Bi Fang has been to this wilderness, they are medals.
Everyone finally understood that the so-called "eternal transmission" and "worthless" are all biased.
"So from a cost perspective, high-quality diamonds cannot be worthless. The cost of mining alone is already very high."
[Gold miners, right?]
"This needs to be clearly distinguished from gold. In other words, most gemstones are consumer goods, not investment goods."
Bi Fang raised his foot, and a clear sole print appeared in the firelight.
"The definition of mineral products is 'the excavated, sorted or purified products from geological bodies with economic value'. These are all recognized definitions and are not made up by me."
"This is also the key reason why the two seemingly contradictory points appear together at the same time."
Moreover, in addition to various conditions, artificial diamond technology is now becoming more and more mature. Bi Fang heard that diamonds can now be grown, and they are exactly the same as natural ones. Although he does not know whether they are true or not, it will definitely make the depreciation rate of diamonds faster.
Faster.
Based on the fact that diamonds are valuable, it is not difficult to understand Bifang's behavior at this time.
【Strange knowledge has been added】
The fundamental reason is that diamonds are valuable, but they are not that valuable, or in other words, they are not worth the prices listed in shopping malls or big-brand jewelry stores.
On the other hand, if you want to maintain or increase the value of your products, this behavior is called investment.
[To be honest, did Lao Fang work as a miner before? 】
For most people, whether they are buying skin care products, buying cars, buying clothes, or buying jewelry, the goal is never to preserve value.
There is no doubt that they are all real. Common diamonds will depreciate on the spot when purchased by normal people. Second-hand diamonds cannot even be sold for half the price.
Are diamonds valuable?
There is no doubt that it is definitely valuable. Anyone who says it is not valuable can send it over and we will take whatever amount we have.
"Non-professionals must not imitate me without adequate safety measures, otherwise" Bi Fang lay on the rock wall, took a deep breath, and continued, "Remember, one mistake will lead to eternal regret."
The pictures are just good-looking and face-saving.
But like clothes and cars, it depreciates as soon as it lands and cannot be cashed out at any time like gold.
So is the marketing scam everyone is talking about fake?
Bi Fang stopped on a protruding rock, leaning against the rock wall for a short rest. He smiled after hearing this: "My purpose is not for money, or money is only a small part of the reason."
"Rough diamonds are a type of mineral product. According to the "Mineral Resources Exploration Theory and Methods", mineral deposits are defined as geological bodies with economic value, and ores are defined as minerals and rocks with economic value."
In the foreseeable future, as long as there is no sudden emergence of a diamond mine with huge reserves and excellent quality that can be mined with existing technology, it will maintain its value.
The existence of marketing scams does not mean that diamonds are worthless.
Unless you buy tens of millions of pink diamonds that are rare in the world, that kind of behavior can be called investment.
And this basically has nothing to do with ordinary people.
Buying a diamond ring worth thousands or even tens of thousands is the same as buying a piece of clothing or a car, you just buy it to wear.
Few people know that Bifang has some hamster habits, especially something that is very rare in the wilderness.
【Swearing without exposing one's shortcomings】
Two skeletons dressed in tattered denim overalls are stacked together in a strange overlapping pattern.
"But one thing you need to pay attention to is that diamonds are not investment goods, but consumer goods!"
It sounds like a contradiction, but in fact both exist and are not contradictory.
"Secondly, according to the Office of the National Mineral Reserves Committee, the "Mineral Industry Requirements Reference Manual" and DZ/T0205-2002, the industrial grade of diamond deposits is 0.0008 grams."
Buying things that make you look good, make you comfortable, and make you happy is called consumption.
Especially if you sell the diamond ring you bought from a jewelry brand again, you will find that the diamond ring you originally bought for 20,000 yuan may not be able to sell for half of the original price. Unlike gold, if you bought it for 20,000 yuan, if the price of gold rises, you can still sell it.
Selling for 20,000 or more.
But no matter what, diamonds are "valuable and depreciable" after all.
"I know you don't understand what it means, so I'll explain it here. Simply put, if more than 1 gram of diamond can be dug out for every 1,250 tons of ore, the mining cost can be recovered."
Holding a torch and shining the light around, Bi Fang walked a few steps along the curved passage between the round platform and the rock wall, and when he turned the corner, he saw an astonishing scene.
[The main focus is a profession]
After explaining it to the audience, Bi Fang continued to climb down.
The live broadcast room was like a nuclear explosion, and the crowd was excited.
But the two skeletons are by no means the place to ignite the crowd.
Bi Fang moved his gaze to the side not far from the skeleton. It was a palm-sized leather bag. The elastic at the opening had long since broken. The bag could not be tied and fell to the side, pouring out some of its contents.
