Chapter 805 Diamond Ring
After dealing with the matter in Shenzhen, Duan Yun did not leave immediately, but went to Zhongying Street in Shenzhen again.

Duan Yun went to Zhongying Street this time mainly because he wanted to buy something special.

When Duan Yun went to Central Street last time, all kinds of fabrics were the most popular items sold here, but after Duan Yun went to Zhongying Street this time, he found that all kinds of gold shops have increased, and the business is very hot.

In one aspect, Zhongying Street can reflect the current shortage of certain domestic commodities, just like the hot sale of various fabrics before, that is because domestic fabrics are in short supply and can only be purchased with vouchers, while on the Central Street, as long as you have money, you can buy them in large quantities. Therefore, the sales of fabrics in Zhongying Street were very high for a period of time.

But nowadays, the "gold craze" has become popular in Zhongying Street. At present, the control of gold in China is very strict, and relevant procedures must be followed for the sale of gold and silver jewelry. Therefore, there are basically few gold shops in China, and some are located in the north. In a big city like Guangzhou, the price is still very high, but it is cheaper on Zhongying Street.

With the current rapid recovery of the consumption power of ordinary people in China, children of wealthy families must prepare gold and silver jewelry for the woman in addition to the traditional three major items when they get married. Therefore, the current domestic gold and silver prices continue to rise, which also makes Many people started the gold and silver jewelry business.

Duan Yun plans to find an opportunity to propose to Cheng Qingyan after going back this time. The two have been in love for two years, and it is time to blossom and bear fruit, so Duan Yun plans to buy some gold and silver jewelry from Zhongying Street this time, and turn around Give it to Cheng Qingyan.

Compared with the platinum and diamond rings that were popularly worn by people in the previous life, in this era, the domestic people only recognize gold jewelry. As the saying goes, "wearing gold shows wealth". It is similar in color to other metals. As for the diamond above, it is glass in the eyes of many people.

At that time, precious jewelry was still mainly gold and silver, platinum was used as industrial raw materials, and precious metal materials were mainly used in laboratories for aerospace.

But even so, Duan Yun still intends to give Cheng Qingyan a platinum diamond ring. After all, Cheng Qingyan is unique in his own mind. Different wedding gifts.

Although Duan Yun thought so, he was worried that there might not be any platinum diamond rings on Zhongying Street. After all, Chinese people are not used to wearing platinum jewelry. luck.

Fortunately, Duan Yun was on the counter of a shop at the end of the street, and saw three platinum and diamond rings in the innermost corner of the counter. The ring box was also very exquisite. The red velvet box had Hong Kong "Zhou Tai Fook" printed on it. The logo looks very advanced.

However, the three diamond rings on the counter all look very small, and the mark on them is 0.1~0.3 carats, but the workmanship is very fine, the metallic luster and the brightness of the diamonds are good, and they look very different and conspicuous when placed in a pile of gold rings .

"How do you sell this diamond ring?" Duan Yun asked the seller.

"The cheapest one is 490, and the biggest one is 999." The owner just glanced at Duan Yun and said casually.

At that time, the price of domestic gold was about 40 yuan per gram, while the price of platinum was about 110 yuan, and the price of a one-carat diamond was 9000 yuan. Therefore, the market price of a one-carat diamond ring at that time should be around 11 yuan. From this point of view, the prices of 000-0.1 carat diamond rings sold here are basically reasonable.

In fact, the owner of this shop did not expect his diamond ring to be sold at all. The reason is very simple, because consumers in the mainland only recognize gold and not platinum, and the price of this kind of diamond ring is very high, not ordinary people can afford it. of.

"Is there a bigger diamond ring like this?" Duan Yun asked.

In Duan Yun's opinion, even the 0.3-carat diamond ring, the largest of the three diamond rings, is a bit pitiful. A marriage proposal only happens once in a lifetime, so Duan Yun certainly wants something better.

"The biggest diamond ring in our shop is 0.6 carats, but the price is very expensive..." the shopkeeper said a little impatiently.

"Can you show it to me?" Duan Yun asked.

"Are you really buying it?"

"Isn't that nonsense? If it's good, I'll definitely buy it." Duan Yun said.

"Okay!" The owner saw that Duan Yun was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, which seemed a little different from ordinary customers, so he took out a small box from the drawer under the counter, opened it with a snap, and gently handed it to the customer. Duan Yun.

Sure enough, this diamond ring was obviously bigger than the few diamond rings on the counter, and it was polished very finely, making it look bright and eye-catching.

"Do you have a jewelry appraisal certificate?" Duan Yun picked up the diamond ring and observed it carefully for a while. He didn't think it was a fake, but he still cautiously asked the store for a jewelry appraisal certificate.

"Our shop never sells fakes." The shop owner said, found a jewelry appraisal certificate from under the counter, and handed it to Duan Yun.

Sure enough, it was a jewelry appraisal certificate printed in traditional characters. From the photo, it was exactly the same as the ring in front of me. It also showed that the diamond ring was 0.6 carats.

"How much?" Duan Yun asked.

"The price of this 0.6-carat diamond ring is 6999..." The owner replied.

"6999!? Why don't you go grab it, such a small ring costs 7000 yuan!?" The army on the side couldn't help but exclaimed.

You know, Dajun has earned less than 5000 yuan in total in the past two years following Duan Yun, and such a ring that looks like an iron ring costs 7000 yuan, which makes him feel unbelievable.

"Country bun..." The shopkeeper gave Dajun a contemptuous look upon hearing this.

"Okay, I want it!" Duan Yun said very simply.

"Brother Duan..." Seeing this, the army on the side was stunned. He didn't expect Duan Yun to buy this "iron ring" without even asking for a price.

"This is 7000 yuan, you count it!" Duan Yun took out seven bundles of Da Tuanhe from his black leather bag and threw them in front of the counter while speaking to the shopkeeper.

"Um..." Seeing that Duan Yun really took out 7000 yuan, the boss looked unbelievable. After all, it is very rare to have such a wealthy customer in the mainland. He immediately picked up the wads of banknotes and counted them skillfully. , his face was filled with a smile, and he said in a flattering tone: "Boss, I'll change you to a bigger box..."

"No need, this one is fine." Duan Yun took a look at the delicate ring box, then gently closed the lid, and put it in the underwear pocket of the suit...
