Chapter 278 A Sapphire Worth 1500 Million

In the hand, there is a feeling of heavy pressure.

Of course, it is actually not that heavy, probably because I know it is a very precious gemstone, and I have this feeling subconsciously.

Judging by its color, it should be a sapphire. As for the place of origin or quality, Li Zhuo is definitely not sure.

He looked at it carefully for a while, and then called Zheng Kun.

Zheng Kun drank too much last night, went to bed early, and went to the model agency with Moss and the others this morning.

When Li Zhuo called him, they were discussing the capital injection.

After receiving Li Zhuo's call, Zheng Kun also chatted with Li Zhuo about how to inject capital into the model company.

He and moss also want to follow suit and inject capital in proportion to their equity.

Li Zhuo didn't care too much about this company, and said to him:

"You guys discuss a plan that you all think is feasible, and then you can inject capital. Nana's opinion is mine."

"Okay, understand."

After Zheng Kun finished talking about this matter, he asked:

"By the way, you called me, is there anything else?"

Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"Yes, I got another treasure. It's a sapphire. We need to meet."

Because he just sold a Damascus machete, Zheng Kun didn't expect that he would get another treasure so soon.

But he was also very happy, because doing business with Li Zhuo made money really fast, and it didn't take much effort.

He quickly replied:
"Okay, not bad, where did you go today? I'll go find you."

Li Zhuo replied:

"It's a little far away, not in Bangkok,...then come and find me, I'm in the Marriott Hotel in Phuket now."

After hearing this, Zheng Kun laughed and said:

"I just came back from there, and you passed by in a blink of an eye, okay, I will fly over to find you immediately."

Bangkok is about 800 kilometers away from Phuket, the flight time is about 1 hour, and there are many flights, so Zheng Kun arrived in Phuket not long after.

Li Zhuo met him in the hotel lobby, and then took him back to the suite.

Zheng Kun asked:

"It's the sapphire you just received, right? It must be a precious gem, otherwise there is no need to buy it."

Li Zhuo nodded, then took out the sapphire and handed it to him.

Zheng Kun laughed and said:

"It's indeed sapphire. It just so happens that the two of us own a jewelry company, and buying and selling gemstones is our business."

He took the sapphire and looked at it carefully, then nodded repeatedly:

"Not bad, not bad. This is the top-quality sapphire produced in Madagascar, a standard royal blue, without impurities, and it's so big, it's very valuable."

He is a connoisseur of gemstones, and it is easy to identify this.

Li Zhuo asked:

"How can we determine the specific place of origin? What are the characteristics of Madagascar?"

Zheng Kun said:

"Brother Zhuo, Madagascar sapphire has not been around for a long time. It is an island country in the Indian Ocean, relatively barren, and the economy is not developed.

In the 90s, someone discovered a sapphire vein on the island and mined it. It has only been on the market for more than ten years, but its gemstone quality is very high. "

"In terms of quality, it is not inferior to the three traditional sources of precious sapphires, namely Sri Lankan sapphires, Burmese sapphires, and Kashmir sapphires. The top Madagascar sapphires generally have two colors, one is cornflower sapphire, and the other is sapphire. One is royal blue sapphire."

"The characteristic of the Madagascar cornflower sapphire is that it is not so blue, but it has a unique velvety quality that is very close to the traditionally most expensive Kashmir cornflower sapphire."

"By the way, the cornflower sapphire veins in Kashmir are very small, and there are no high-quality gemstones after only 7 years of mining in history, so its price is the most expensive, very expensive!"

“Madagascar cornflower sapphires like this are also very expensive, but the darker royal blue sapphires are also very expensive.”

"Royal blue is characterized by deep and bright color. The color is very transparent at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see a trace of fiber inclusions, which is the so-called polycrystalline twin crystals in terminology. Its dichroism is Purple-blue, there is often an irregular geometric pattern strip at the edge, if you look carefully at its edge, it still has a little purple-red light transmission..."

"The best sapphire produced in the Mogok region of Myanmar is also royal blue, which is very close to the royal blue of Madagascar. How to distinguish it? In fact, it is simple. Generally speaking, the sapphires of Madagascar do not have the crystals of Mogok sapphires. Common shades of gray, more saturated in color, tend to be larger in its individual…”

Li Zhuo was a little baffled by what he heard, it was not something he, a ignorant person, could figure out all at once.

Li Zhuo didn't hesitate, and asked:
"In that case, how much is this sapphire worth?"

Zheng Kun observed the gem carefully for a while, and finally replied:

"If it is a natural unfired royal blue sapphire, based on its weight, I think it should be about sixty or seventy carats. Such a large gemstone is very rare, and the selling price cannot be lower than 1000 million yuan, but it is also very difficult. Breaking through 2000 million depends on the certificate issued by the appraisal agency."

"So, this gem is still being appraised?" Li Zhuo asked.

Zheng Kun nodded and explained:
"Precious gemstones are the best if you can test them, so that they can be sold later. There is a gem testing laboratory of ssef (Swiss Gemological Institute) in Bangkok. Its identification is very professional. Collectors recognize that it is one of the top authoritative gemstone appraisal institutions, and we can have it expedited to issue a certificate for a little money. It will be very worry-free when you sell it with the certificate.”

Li Zhuo knew that he was a professional and had no objection to his approach.

Soon Zheng Kun left with the sapphire, and he went to ssef for an appraisal without mentioning it.

Li Zhuo felt that he was a little bored in Phuket, so he called Nana and asked her to come here for vacation and accompany him by the way.

Nana flew from Bangkok to Phuket to accompany him soon after she was busy with the company.

Phuket is a famous tourist destination in Thailand, famous for its beaches and island sightseeing.

The sand on Patong Beach is white, delicate and beautiful.

Similan Island is a famous diving destination, because the island is surrounded by beautiful coral reefs, sea fans, and strange rocks, as well as a variety of tropical fish, which look very beautiful in the jelly water with high visibility.

There are also Coral Island, which is also famous for its rich coral ecology, which is very beautiful.

Wat Chalong is famous for its Thai-style temple architecture inlaid with gold and thick tones, which is also pleasing to the eye.

Li Zhuo spent a few days in Phuket, and he felt that the scenery here is really beautiful and full of tropical atmosphere.

He didn't want to go back a little bit, and felt that it was necessary to make a home here.

So, when Zheng Kun called him three days later, he was looking at the beach house project in Phuket with Nana under the guidance of an intermediary.

Li Zhuo walked aside with his mobile phone, and after connecting, Zheng Kun said:
"Brother Zhuo, yesterday I got the certificate from SSEF. The sapphire you bought is indeed the Royal Blue of Madagascar, weighing 70 carats. It is natural, unburned and unstained. It is a precious sapphire....

From yesterday to today, I found several big jewelers to see the goods. They like to use this gemstone to make expensive jewelry. One of them finally bid 7500 million baht, which is the highest bid so far. "

7500 million baht, equivalent to 1500 million yuan, is not cheap!
