Near noon, two 100-ton large cranes and a heavy-duty semi-trailer truck drove up the mountain.
Two hours later, this super Big Mac was loaded smoothly into the car.
Hidden with canvas, Little Dog and Ji Yong escorted the car out of Taier Mountain Village in person.
On the outskirts of Chongteng City, Lu Fei purchased two more large stone-breaking machines and a manual stone-breaking machine and loaded them into the car. They were escorted by two young men and went straight to Jincheng.
Lu Fei turned back to the mountain, and Wang Xinyi's rough stone was also loaded into the truck and taken to the airport to be flown back to the Magic City.
Lu Fei and Wang Xinyi took a flight and returned to the Magic City after nightfall.
After taking a taxi to send Wang Xinyi back to the company, Lu Fei went directly back to his mansion, preparing to rest for the night and pick up Zhang Dafa and Niu Niu to return to Jincheng early tomorrow morning.
When Lu Fei returned to the mansion, Niu Niu and Zhang Dafa were sitting on the sofa watching TV. When they saw Lu Fei, Niu Niu jumped down from the sofa and flew into Lu Fei's arms like a little swallow.
"Brother Lu Fei, you are finally back. I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Lu Fei gently pinched Niuniu's baby-fat little face and said with a smile.
"Niuniu is so cute, how can Brother Lu Fei bear to not want you!"
"Where are sister and aunt Chen Jiajia?"
While talking, Liu Juan walked out of the kitchen.
"Lu Fei is back, Jiajia has gone to Fengtian to report for duty, I will cook for you right now!"
"Don't bother, Auntie. Is there any leftover food?"
"I can just take a bite." Lu Fei said.
"How can that be done!"
"Wait a moment, I'll order a new bowl of noodles for you. I'll be ready in a moment."
Unable to defeat Liu Juan, Lu Fei had no choice but to let her go.
After chatting with Zhang Dafa for a while, Liu Juan’s noodles were already ready.
Lu Fei went to the restaurant to eat, and Niu Niu followed him closely.
When Lu Fei and Lu Fei were the only two people left in the restaurant, Niu Niu said mysteriously.
"Brother Lu Fei, I found a treasure!"
"puff. "
Seeing Niuniu's serious look, Lu Fei spurted out.
Niu Niu pouted, rolled her eyes, looked at Lu Fei, and said unhappily.
"Brother Lu Fei, if you don't believe me, I will ignore you."
"Niuniu, don't be angry. It's not that Brother Lu Fei doesn't believe you. I ate in a hurry just now and choked. Don't worry!"
"snort!"
"You're lying. You obviously don't believe me. Niuniu can see it."
In order to appease Niu Niu, Lu Fei put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
"Brother Lu Fei really doesn't believe you."
"Now take out the treasure you picked up and show it to Brother Lu Fei, okay?"
"If it's really a good thing, Brother Lu Fei will have a reward here!"
Lu Fei wanted to see the baby, and Niu Niu suddenly became excited again.
He jumped to the ground, put his fleshy little hands into his trouser pockets, and took a long time to take them out.
Niuniu came to Lu Fei and said mysteriously.
"Brother Lu Fei, please look carefully. This is the best treasure I have ever picked up."
As she said that, Niuniu slowly spread her little hands.
To be honest, Lu Fei didn't believe that Niu Niu could pick up any treasure at first. He did this just to make Niu Niu happy.
But when Lu Fei saw clearly what was in Niu Niu's hand, he was instantly stunned.
What the hell!
What a big baby!
This is incredible!
In Niu Niu's hand was a crystal clear natural sapphire, as big as a pigeon egg and weighing at least eighty carats.
Seeing this thing, Lu Fei could no longer calm down.
She picked up the sapphire from Niu Niu's hand and looked at it under the light. It was completely transparent, with tiny filament lines, and almost no impurities could be seen with the naked eye.
OMG!
This is actually a top-grade cornflower sapphire!
Cornflower sapphire is a type of Kashmir sapphire.
Kashmir is the name of a place located on the border between India and Pakistan. There has been a long-standing dispute over its ownership, which has led to ongoing political instability.
At the same time, the geographical environment is also quite special, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters. Human living conditions are harsh, with low temperatures and severe cold conditions all year round. The suitable mining time is only two months per year.
Coupled with frequent wars, people have to risk their lives and travel long distances for weeks to reach the mining areas.
Moreover, the transportation, electricity, telecommunications and other infrastructure on the mountain are very primitive and backward. No matter how advanced large-scale machinery and equipment are, they cannot be transported up the mountain. They all rely on manual exploration and mining in the stone crevices of the mountain.
It is precisely because of this special geographical condition that the special sapphire-Kashmir sapphire was born.
High-quality Kashmir sapphire can show a pure, rich and slightly purple blue like the sky on the plateau.
This blue color has many similarities with the German national flower cornflower, so it is also called cornflower sapphire.
In addition, Kashmir sapphires are characterized by tiny filamentous inclusions arranged in parallel that are different from sapphires from other origins.
This characteristic can make the hard and strong metallic texture of sapphire show a soft and velvety texture like silk. This combination of hard and soft blue can make anyone who sees it in person feel deeply moved.
However, good things are always rare. The Kashmir sapphire mine was discovered in 1879, but its official mining ended in 1889.
Since the reserves are very limited, they have been exhausted within ten years.
In today's market, most people I have never heard of the name of Kashmir sapphire, and even those who know a little about it have only heard of its name but have never seen it.
Kashmir sapphires are never easily found in shopping malls or shops. Generally, they can only be seen by high-end jewelers and at international auctions. The price of tens of thousands of dollars per carat is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
On November 21, 2008, at Christie's Autumn Precious Gem Auction in Geneva, a 42.28-carat Kashmir sapphire was sold for a final price of US$3.45 million, setting a new record for the total sapphire auction price.
In the autumn auction of Christie's in Hong Kong in 2009, a 16-carat cornflower sapphire ring was sold for a sky-high price of US$2.4 million.
The value of a single carat surpassed the Kashmir sapphire sold at last year’s autumn auction in Geneva, setting a new record again.
The cornflower sapphire is definitely a treasure among treasures, one that even a woman can’t let go of after seeing it.
A six-year-old girl can recognize it as a treasure, let alone an adult woman.
I remember that at the beginning, the regent Zaifeng wanted to deal with Yuan Shikai. In order to seek asylum, Yuan Shikai got a cornflower sapphire the size of his fingertip from somewhere and presented it to Cixi, which made Lafayette very fond of it.
Not only did he protect Yuan Shikai everywhere, but he was also promoted from the Inspector of Zhili to the Governor of Zhili and submitted a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuan Shikai's fortune was due to the cornflower sapphire.
Lu Fei got many kinds of gems from Zhang Xianzhong and Yang Yuting.
But there is nothing as awesome as Cornflower Sapphire.
However, what shocked Lu Fei was not just this piece of sapphire, but where Niu Niu picked up this amazing sapphire.
Most people, not to mention picking it up, even if they are given a fully armed team and let them rob it openly and openly, they will not be able to find a way out.
But Niu Niu is a six-year-old child, how did she do it?
