Chapter 1037 400 Million (1/2)
The suitcase, placed on the table, was not too big. It was simple designed, not pretentious in the slightest.
Li Du snapped his fingers and glanced at Tang Chaoyang and Song Biaozi. ”Please.”
Song Biaozi looked at the case and said in disappointment, ”Only this?”
Diamonds were very hard, incredibly hard, so they could damage each other. They were extremely valuable so they were generally stored separately.
There were small compartments in the storage suitcase, and each contained a diamond. This prevented the diamonds from colliding and becoming damaged during transportation.
In this case, a small suitcase really could not store many diamonds.
Song Biaozi casually went over and lifted the case. As he lifted it up, his expression became surprised. ”Hey, this is really heavy.”
The calm and composed Tang Chaoyang waved his hand and said, ”Don't move. Open the case.”
When the case opened, a densely packed pile of diamonds appeared in front of them.
This suitcase was a special case for the transportation of diamonds. There were small, high-intensity lights in the case. Once the case was opened, the small lights shined on the diamonds below.
Under the beams of light, the large number of diamonds emitted a brilliant glow and vibrant colors. They shined like a stream of twinkling water. It was extremely beautiful!
These were not raw diamonds. Li Du had found someone to cut and polish them. Thus, they were way more beautiful and valuable than raw diamonds. He did not want to sell raw diamonds because it would be easy for people to cut down the price as if he was an idiot.
Song Biaozi was dumbfounded for a short moment, and then he praised, ”Damn, they are beautiful!”
Tang Chaoyang went to grab a handful of diamonds. He spread out his hands and ran them over the precious gems.
Li Du smiled and asked, ”Do you want all of them?”
Tang Chaoyang nodded and, relaxed, said, ”Yes. Otherwise, how could I treat your diamonds as I wish?”
Li Du gestured for them to sit down and said, ”Then, we can talk about the price now.”
Tang Chaoyang said, ”Yes, we can. But let me be clear first: I don't need diamonds with large carats. For me, there's no difference between crushed diamonds and big diamonds. So, you better retrieve the big diamonds and leave me with the small and low-priced ones.”
Li Du said, ”Let me be clear too. These diamonds do not have any certificates. If you are taking them away, it is best to beware of the cops. Once inspected, there's nothing I can do to help.”
As Tang Chaoyang heard this, he smiled. ”Hah, that's great. Originally, our agreement was above the market price. Now that the condition has changed, I'm offering 50 percent of the market price!”
Li Du was intrigued. Fifty percent of the market price was very reasonable. If he dealt with these diamonds through other channels, he would only get 30 or 40 percent of the market value.
However, he felt that he could still fight for it and said, ”Fifty is too low. How about 70 percent?”
Tang Chaoyang smiled. ”I don't like to bargain. Time is precious. How can we waste time cutting the price? Fifty percent—this price is very reasonable.”
On the contrary, Li Du loved to bargain. He slapped the table and said, ”Sixty percent with additional conditions. If you're not in a hurry, I can continue to supply you a batch of diamonds every season.”
”Fifty,” Tang Chaoyang insisted. ”But the condition you offered is quite valuable. I can offer you a piece of equally valuable information.”
”What kind of information?”
”You used to engage in storage auctions, right? A treasure hunter?”
”Yes.”
