Chapter 85 Worlds apart!

"Congratulations!" Lin Dong stepped forward, and Ke Zhengjie put the sapphire in a small box and handed it to him: "Can you tell me now why you want this sapphire?"

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, there was no such link before?

Seeing that Lin Dong was in a daze, Ke Zhengjie smiled and said, "Actually, this sapphire was given to me by my friend. I saved his life, and he always felt that he owed me, so he asked someone to bring this sapphire. I originally wanted to ask, but later this friend lost the news, and I have no way of asking. I also asked some people, and these people heard that it was brought back from Sri Lanka, and they thought it was just an ordinary rough sapphire. You are the first person to bid so enthusiastically, I think you must know the real background of this sapphire."

As soon as Lin Dong heard that there was a story in the sapphire, he reached out and handed the box to Ke Zhengjie: "Brother Jie, this sapphire is more precious, you should put it away, it's something commemorative..."

"Not here." Ke Zhengjie waved his hand: "My friend and I are not people who care too much about external things. Rather than keeping something that you don't know what it is, it's better to hand it into the hands of someone who is destined. Besides, you are not in vain Why don't you take it? It's better to quickly take out the money and tell us the origin of this gem!"

Lin Dong had no choice but to hand over the card.

Ma Mingyu who was behind felt regretful at this moment. Hearing this, this sapphire might not be as simple as an ordinary Sri Lankan sapphire!I should have raised the price just now!He didn't believe that Lin Dong could compare his confidence with himself at all!
After swiping the card, Lin Dong stood on the table, took out the sapphire from the box, looked at it again, "confirmed" and said: "Although this sapphire came from Sri Lanka, it is actually not a Sri Lankan sapphire, but a sapphire from Sri Lanka. A rare Kashmir sapphire!"

"what?"

"Kashmir sapphire? Impossible? That thing is not something ordinary people can see!"

The people below immediately started whispering, and some people showed disbelief on their faces.

Ke Zhengjie really didn't understand this, so he asked Lin Dong in a low voice, "Is there any difference between this Kashmir sapphire and other sapphires?"

Lin Dong glanced at him. The "Sri Lanka" that Ke Zhengjie specially explained during the bidding just now, he thought it was Ke Zhengjie deliberately helping him, but now it seems that it was an unconscious move?

"Don't look at me like that, I really don't know."

"Let me tell you this!" Lin Dong thought for a while, and made an analogy, "Sri Lankan sapphire is equivalent to planted ginseng in ginseng, while Kashmir sapphire is wild ginseng! You should understand the difference!"

"The difference is so big?" Ke Zhengjie obviously didn't expect there to be such a big difference. He froze for a moment, looked at the gemstone in Lin Dong's hand, and said with a sudden smile: "It really answered what I said just now, this thing It’s still worth the money in your hands. In my case, although I have invited several people to look at it, they all said ordinary sapphires, but I didn’t take it seriously. There is such a big difference! "

"I mean, you should take it back..." Lin Dong handed the sapphire out, "Although this sapphire is cracked, if you find a master to cut and polish it, at least eight to nine carats can be produced, and it should be worth several million. no problem!"

"Don't slap me in the face!" Ke Zhengjie pushed back, "Money and goods are clear, you have a good eye for finding treasures, it's your fate, don't talk about these things here. By the way, why is this Kashmir sapphire?" so expensive?"

Lin Dong explained: "As you know, Kashmir is at the junction of India and Pakistan. The two countries often fight, and this place is on a plateau above 4000 meters above sea level. The mining time per year is very short. After three months, the large machinery couldn’t go up, and it was all mined by hand, so the cost was very high.”

Ke Zhengjie nodded. Huaxia people have always paid more attention to the surrounding situation, which is definitely clear.

"The point is not just these." Lin Dong continued: "The reserves of Kashmir sapphires are very small. They were discovered in 1879 and were mined in 1889. In ten years, how much do you think can be dug out?"

"Rare is more expensive—that's normal."

"Of course, the most important thing is that this Kashmir sapphire has a special geographical environment, and high-quality Kashmir sapphires can emit a pure, rich and slightly purple blue color similar to the plateau sky. This blue color is similar to the cornflower, the national flower of Germany. Known as cornflower sapphire. In addition, Kashmir sapphires are arranged differently from sapphire minerals in other places, and can exhibit a soft velvet texture like silk in a hard metal texture. This combination of rigidity and softness makes Kashmir Sapphire is the best among sapphires, that's why it's so precious!"

"That's it!" Ke Zhengjie nodded, "It's normal if it's expensive. Just like your analogy, wild ginseng is so rare now, no matter how expensive it is, there are people who want it!"

Speaking of this, Ke Zhengjie suddenly rushed down and said loudly with a smile; "Red Army, just now you said that people have bad eyesight and treat stones as gems, you are stupid! What they got is a real top gem! Learn more in the future, Don't embarrass the second generation! You've become a dude, your father won't let you go!"

Ke Zhengjie's prestige was very high, even though Ma Hongjun's expression was unusually gloomy at the moment, he was not easy to talk back, and almost suffered internal injuries!

Ke Zhengjie changed the subject and pointed at Ma Mingyu again: "Mingyu, you are smart, but you just didn't persevere! If you persevere, maybe this sapphire will be yours! You heard it just now, you can cut out nearly ten pieces of sapphire. Carat gems, counting, it is worth a sports car of yours!"

Ma Mingyu is also a bachelor, and said with a smile: "I actually don't understand this, but knowing that Lin Dong has a good eye, I wanted to follow, but I didn't follow to the end. I will ask Lin Dong for advice in the future!"

Lin Dong's pupils shrank slightly. He didn't expect that after what happened last time, Ma Mingyu has become so cunning now. It seems that he should be careful in the future!

After getting what he wanted, Lin Dong didn't stay long. After saying goodbye to Ke Zhengjie, he went out with Hu Zhengming.

"What do you plan to do with this sapphire?" Hu Zhengming asked as he walked, "Do you keep it for yourself?"

"No." Lin Dong shook his head: "Find a buyer and sell it. Now is the time for me to spend money, so it's useless to keep this kind of thing."

Hu Zhengming wondered: "You use money? You mean..."

"I developed a high-energy battery with Mr. Zheng Hong." Lin Dong explained, "Now is the critical moment of research and development. I want to ensure the smooth development of the research and development, and the funds cannot be cut off!"

Hu Zhengming nodded: "Okay, let me ask for you too. There must be many people who want this rare sapphire!"
