After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 590 $520

Li Zhuo stayed in South Korea for another two days, and then received a call from Zheng Kun:
"Brother Zhuo, the certificate for the sapphire was issued today. It is produced in Sri Lanka. It is flawless and of perfect grade. The color is full sky blue, with a slight violet color on the edge. Its purity is level 1. The weight 114.74 carats, the appraisal result is that it is a collection-grade precious sapphire.”

"Isn't sky blue the best color for sapphires?" Li Zhuo had obtained sapphires last time, and he also had some knowledge of the industry.

"Yes, sky blue is definitely not as good as royal blue, which is deep blue. But our gem has a blue tone with a hint of purple. This color is quite special. It is the tone that can only be found in the rarest cornflower sapphire. Its color is deep blue with a purple tint, and its clarity is at the top level, level one. In fact, many expensive blue sapphires only have level two clarity. Taken together, this sapphire, even if not as good as The price of royal sapphire will not be much different.”

It sounded pretty good, Li Zhuo asked:
"How much money can be sold?"

"It's estimated to be around 500 to [-] million US dollars. Perfect gems of this size are very rare on the market and very rare at auctions. Things are rare and cannot be bought cheaply." Zheng Kun gave a rough estimate.

Li Zhuo then said:
"That's great. Can it be sold this month?"

Li Zhuo is not in a hurry now. If he can get it done within a month, there will be no problem.

Zheng Kun replied:

"No problem. I'm going to find someone to sell it now. It should be sold soon."

……

Two days later, he called again:

"Okay, an American jewelry company has taken a liking to our sapphire and plans to use it to make a beautiful necklace. This sapphire is the pendant part. Their bid was the highest, at US$520 million, which was higher than other bids. Individuals and companies are more sincere.”

The price is really not low, Li Zhuo asked curiously:

“Did they say how much the finished product could fetch?”

"I didn't say, I guess they will set the sapphire with diamonds, and then use platinum to make it into a beautiful shape and connect it together. Finally, they will make up an origin story for it to emphasize its preciousness and uniqueness. Sex, nine times out of ten, this thing will sell for tens of millions of dollars.”

It’s not surprising that luxury goods all like to do this.

Li Zhuo said:

"Sell it to them. Maybe we can see it at auction in the future."

"Ok."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Li Zhuo's Standard Chartered Bank account remitted US$520 million, equivalent to 3640 million yuan.

After receiving the money, Li Zhuo transferred US$104 million to Zheng Kun.

Afterwards, he received a message from the incense burner:

"The host has fulfilled the wish of King John in the 13th century before his death and received a wealth return equivalent to 3640 million yuan. This incense burner will be evaluated based on the completion of the host's long-cherished wish. The evaluation is in progress... and has been completed.

The total score is 10 points, the host's action score is 8 points, and the comment is 'successful', please make persistent efforts to the host. "

"In order to give back and motivate the host, this incense burner will activate the cashback function of the wealth multiplier. This time the host received an income of 3640 million yuan. According to the current level 33 of this incense burner and the comment score of the fulfillment of this wish, the multiplier return this time is 33*8*0.1=26.4 times, or 9.61 million RMB."

"This cash rebate exceeds 9 million yuan, and this incense burner will be repaid by selling U.S. stocks.

The incense burner has the ability to shield the sky, and the remittance of funds is legal. "

"The settlement is completed. The wishing incense burner has absorbed the wish power of this mission, and its strength has improved, and its level has been raised to level 34."

"Please note that the host can only use this item once a month, and the next activation will be 30 days later."

Li Zhuo previously had 6.5 million yuan on his card, but after selling the sapphire he got from King John, it became 6.79 million yuan.

After this cashback, his bank card will have 16.4 billion yuan.

Li Zhuo went to his securities account and found that it contained Tesla stocks.

The current stock price is US$270 per share, and there are a total of 5100 lots in his account, worth a total of US$1.377 million, equivalent to 9.64 million yuan, which is enough for Li Zhuo's cash back.

Li Zhuo then set up automatic selling, and the money would be returned to his bank card after the U.S. stock market opened.

After finishing these tasks, he left home and went to the airport first.

Today, Thursday, Cui Yiyuan’s oh my girl girl group has a TV interview.

After today, there were no plans for Friday. If there were no plans, the girl group members did not have to go to the company, so she planned to go out to play with Li Zhuo.In the small waiting room, Li Zhuo waited for more than an hour before Cui Yiyuan was sent over by Yin Mingzi.

She walked in and apologized with a smile:

"I'm sorry, the interview took a while, I'm late."

Li Zhuo pulled her to sit down and said:
"It's not too late, now is the right time."

Since she went to Shencheng last time, she feels that warm places are better and she doesn't want to go to Hokkaido at all.

She is very happy now and in a beautiful mood:

"Thank you for taking me to the Maldives. I never thought of it before."

She had been planning to go to Shencheng for the first few days, until Li Zhuo suddenly said to her:

"Now that I have more time, I can definitely go to the Maldives."

Then she thought of the blue sea, the warm sea breeze, and the feeling of the boardwalk. She quickly changed her mind, so she took this long trip.

After passing the security check and boarding the private plane, two flight attendants had prepared welcome drinks.

They were equally happy after knowing that this time they were going to the Maldives, which meant they could also spend a few days there.

The flight from South Korea to the Maldives is about 6000 kilometers, and the flight lasted eight hours.

When we arrived in the Maldives, it was already 11 pm, but because the time difference in the Maldives was three hours behind, the local time was 8 pm.

After getting off the plane, Li Zhuo chose a five-star hotel called Six Senses Laamu for the crew and opened two swimming pool water villa suites for them.

His family has a small wooden house that extends into the shallow sea with a swimming pool. It feels pretty good to live there.

He took Cui Yiyuan to stay at Chevel Blanc, whose Chinese name is White Horse Manor Hotel.

It is more expensive, and it is also the kind of building that extends into the sea, but it is closer to the feeling of a wooden villa. It is larger and more luxurious. The price per night is more than 4 yuan.

The weather in the Maldives is standard tropical weather, with only rainy season and dry season, and the temperature is basically stable between 26-30 degrees.

As soon as they entered the seaside villa where they stayed, Cui Yiyuan excitedly put on the sexy swimsuit she brought, and then ran out happily.

Li Zhuo was worried about her going into the sea and quickly said:

"It's already dark, so don't go into the sea. There might be sharks or sea snakes. Safety first."

Going out from the open grille door, there is a flat ground paved with teak boards, about 20 square meters. In front of it is a large inlaid swimming pool, and on the other side is a large bathtub that can hold 8 people. In front of the swimming pool, there is also a flat area of ​​about ten square meters paved with teak flooring, with four massage chairs placed on it.

In front of him on the right, there is a spiral staircase. Walking up it is a slide that can slide directly into the sea.

All of the above, including the wooden villas themselves, are built in the shallow coral sea.

So looking further away, there is a shallow sea area that is large enough.

Many islands in the Maldives have large shoals, which are very suitable for building such wooden houses on the sea. It is a good use of them for tourism.

Cui Yiyuan turned around and smiled:
"I don't go to the sea, I go to the bathtub. I like the feeling of playing in the water so much."

She was wearing a specially purchased tight-fitting one-piece swimsuit today. The upper body was almost like a bellyband, with a ribbon tied behind her neck to fix it. The lower body was tightly wrapped around her body, revealing the beauty of her figure.

This swimsuit is golden yellow, and it shines a little under the light, which is not ordinary eye-catching.

After Li Zhuo saw it, he smiled and said:
"I want to take a bath too."

He also got into the bathtub, but he was a drunkard and didn't care about drinking.

Not long after, amidst Cui Yiyuan's charming laughter, the water in the bathtub gradually began to stir.
