After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 376 Hermes in Yellow Diamond

At around 9 am the next day, Li Zhuo boarded a plane from New York to Bangkok.

The direct flight between the two places takes 13 hours, but Bangkok time is 11 hours ahead of New York time, so when Li Zhuo arrived in Bangkok, it was around 11 am Bangkok time.

When he arrived in Bangkok, the first thing he did when he came out of the station was to call Zheng Kun and ask him to discuss business with the Mandarin Oriental Apartment.

When Zheng Kun received the call, he was still in Malaysia. During the call, he calculated the time and said that he would not be able to fly back until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

But it's been a long time to wait until the day after tomorrow.

Li Zhuo asked:

"I have something here, it's a ring, can you get it done in Malay?"

What he said was a little vague, but the meaning was very clear, if he could handle it over there, then Li Zhuo would fly over directly to avoid waiting.

Zheng Kun also asked somewhat vaguely:

"Does it have a unique history?"

What Zheng Kun wants to ask is, is this thing conspicuous, and does it belong to a prominent person?

The more special marks or clear origins, the easier it is to attract the attention of others. This is not necessarily a good thing, and trading it may mean more risks.

Li Zhuo replied:

"It shouldn't be obvious from it itself, but it's a bit unclear whether there is a specific origin."

After thinking about it, Zheng Kun said:
"How about this, brother Zhuo, when you get to a convenient place, send me a WeChat video, I'll take a look first and make a judgment."

He wants to do an assessment.

And it is also more cautious, indicating that WeChat video should be used. Using it in Southeast Asia often means that it is difficult to be monitored locally.

Li Zhuo naturally agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he took a taxi to the Mandarin Oriental apartment and returned to his flat.

After entering, he took out the ring, cleaned it carefully, wiped it dry, and made sure there was nothing wrong with it, so he videoed it to Zheng Kun.

When the video was launched, Zheng Kun was in a large villa in Kuala Lumpur. He was sitting under the flower porch in the garden. Palm trees, lawns, flowers and other green plants came into view in the video camera.

He simply explained:

"This is my aunt's villa. It's on Kenny Hill in Kuala Lumpur. I usually live here when I come here."

Li Zhuo said casually:

"It looks good, it feels quite big, is it expensive?"

"It's not too big. It covers an area of ​​3000 square meters. It was bought early, in 05? It was about 4300 or [-] years ago, and it cost [-] million ringgits at that time."

当前1马币约等于1.5元人民币，不过在十几年前1马币能兑换2元人民币，所以相当于8600万元买下的。

Of course, the 8600 million yuan at that time was much more valuable than it is now.

Apparently, Aunt Zheng Kun's family must be an old Southeast Asian family that made their fortune very early.

After hearing this, Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"Excellent, I want to live there for two days."

Zheng Kun invited with a smile:

"Welcome, warm welcome, you don't need to stay in a hotel, you can just live here. Apart from the Filipino maid, I'm the only one in this villa. It's very convenient. Besides, you haven't been to Malaysia, so it's good to come and have a look." .”

Li Zhuo replied:

"Look at this ring first, if there is no problem, I will fly over."

He then put the ring into the camera, and the yellow gemstones of this ring shone brightly, giving people the feeling of being extraordinary.

Zheng Kun took a few glances and praised:
"The ring is very beautiful. That's right. This yellow diamond looks really good. You can tell it's high quality at first glance."

"Is this a yellow diamond? By the way, there is such a thing as a yellow diamond?" Li Zhuo didn't expect it either, and felt that he was quite ignorant.

Zheng Kun laughed and said:

"Yes, yes, yellow diamonds, green diamonds, pink diamonds, blue diamonds, and red diamonds are collectively referred to as colored diamonds, and their prices are relatively high. Among them, pigeon blood red diamonds are the most expensive, very rare, and priceless. One carat can easily cost millions. The bigger the dollar, the more expensive it is.”

"No way, it's so expensive?" Li Zhuo was a little surprised.

"Yes, that's why it's so expensive, because it's so rare, at least the whole world hasn't seen a red diamond of a larger size so far."

"Then is this yellow diamond worth anything?"

"Yellow diamonds are definitely much more expensive than ordinary diamonds, especially now that there are so many diamonds in storage, second-hand broken diamonds are almost worthless, but yellow diamonds are still different because they are very rare."

"The price of a yellow diamond depends on its color grading, its weight, its origin, its shape and purity, etc. This is a technical task, and it needs to be assessed by a professional."

"However, I know a little bit about yellow diamonds, because I have received them before, and they are actually the most numerous of all colored diamonds. The probability of occurrence is one in a thousand, and there is probably one yellow diamond in every thousand diamonds. "

"However, the yellow diamond on this ring feels unusually bright in color. It should be fancy vivid yellow, which is a gemstone of the vivid yellow level."

"This kind of vivid yellow gemstone is the top grade among yellow diamonds. According to statistics, only about 5% of all yellow diamonds can reach the brilliant grade, so its price is naturally more expensive."

"Moreover, the key point is that this yellow diamond has a hint of orange tinge to me. If it is true, the price may double. Because it is generally believed that there are only Sierra Leone yellow diamonds with orange tinge. It is only produced in the Zimmi mining area, and the color is relatively richer and more beautiful..."

After hearing this, Li Zhuo asked:

"So, the yellow diamonds in this mining area are the most expensive?"

Zheng Kun laughed and said:

"Yes, there is no doubt that zimmi yellow diamonds are called the king of yellow diamonds, or Hermes among yellow diamonds. Its color is named canary yellow, or zimmi yellow, and its value is generally lower than that of yellow diamonds in other mining areas. more than double.

The current auction record is 110 million yuan per carat, but the zimmi yellow diamond is relatively large, exceeding 100 carats. Ours is much smaller. Depending on the size, I estimate it is only about 10 carats. The price cannot be compared. "

After hearing this, Li Zhuo asked:

"Is our diamond-encrusted platinum ring worth anything? Its origin should be unclear, right?"

"Yes, it's hard to find out the origin. What I'm worried about is that some jewelry has its provenance, such as high-end jewelry custom-made by some famous people. You should be careful when you find someone to ship it. It doesn't matter, because there is no unique style in it."

"This yellow diamond is still very valuable. As for the platinum material and broken diamonds, to be honest, it's only material money at most, and there is no other bonus when selling it."

Li Zhuo understood:
"That's good, at least there is no risk."

"Yes, there is really no problem."

……

After Li Zhuo hung up the phone, he quickly booked a ticket to Malaysia.

He took off that afternoon and arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport after flying for nearly 3 hours.

After coming out of the station, Li Zhuo saw Zheng Kun, who specially drove a Bentley to pick him up.

When he returned to Aunt Zheng Kun's house, Li Zhuo realized that this Kenny Hill villa area was unusual. It was very similar to Hong Kong's Victoria Peak wealthy area, and most of the people living here were political and business leaders.

As for this villa, it is a typical western-style palace style. There are several buildings in the house. The main building has three floors, and a dome is directly designed on the third floor.

It looks very Western-style. Zheng Kun said that it was bought from an Italian diplomat back then, so the Western-style style is more strong.

But the whole house is really beautiful, the swimming pool in the courtyard is in the shape of yin and yang fish.

The fish pond dedicated to raising koi is in a corner of the courtyard. It is well designed, with a rockery on one side and gurgling water on it.

These should all be specially modified after his aunt's house bought it.
