”This is the Star of Africa diamond, right?” The first thing that caught Chen Jialiang's attention was that Star of Africa diamond, ”Boss, this Star of Africa diamond is one of the top ten most valuable diamonds in the world. It's the kind that can't be bought even if you have money.”

”This African star is so rare?” Lu Guangnan exclaimed, ”I never thought that the Mr. Shang would have one of the top ten diamonds in the entire world. With such financial power, it can be said that the Mr. Shang's strength is astonishing!”

Astonishing my ass! Hearing Lu Guangnan's words, Shang Liang laughed at himself in his heart. If he had not completed the Quest issued by the Conviction System and obtained this reward at random, he would not have had the chance to obtain the Star of Africa.

Shang Liang chuckled and said humbly: ”Compared to you, Gentleman Lu, it's just a drop in the bucket.”

Shang Liang was so modest, which allowed Lu Guangnan to have a high opinion of him, and nodded to him. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Chen Jialiang and said: ”Manager Chen, you are an expert in jewelry, and are more knowledgeable in this area. According to you, this Star of Africa, if I want to buy it from the Mr. Shang, what price would I have to pay it for it?”

”About this …” Lu Guangnan's question had put him in a difficult position.

After all, as Lu Guangnan's subordinate, if he answered truthfully, Lu Guangnan would definitely suffer. However, if Chen Jialiang's offer was too low, Shang Liang would definitely not be satisfied.

”In the business world, you don't have to worry about anything.” Lu Guangnan was an intelligent person, he could immediately see through Chen Jialiang's hesitation, and said: ”With your words, no matter how much it is worth, you will pay.”

”Alright then.” Chen Jialiang then said, ”Boss, based on the market price of the Star of Africa diamond, the starting price is 30 million, there's no limit.”

Chen Jialiang frowned slightly when she heard this price, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lu Guangnan laughed, then turned to Shang Liang and said: ”Boss Shang, I wonder if you are satisfied with Manager Chen's bid?”

”I believe in Manager Chen's professionalism.” Shang Liang nodded.

”Good, great!” Lu Guangnan clapped his hands, and his gaze landed on Tang Yin's calligraphy and painting, and said in shock: ”This is the true work of the Ming Dynasty's most talented four great scholar, Tang Yin?”

”Gentleman Lu has good eyesight.” Shang Liang nodded, ”That's right!”

Chen Jialiang glanced at Tang Yin's calligraphy and paintings, and said: ”Boss, this antique calligraphy and painting, it's not my specialty.”

”Hey, when it comes to antique calligraphy and painting, you're still the boss's junior.” The Butler Du retorted.

Chen Jialiang laughed but did not refute him.

Lu Guangnan reached into his bosom, took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and carefully appraised Tang Yin's calligraphy and painting. He praised: ”This painting of a romantic maid is indeed Tang Yin's real work, and also the work of Tang Yin at the peak of his painting style.

Seeing that Lu Guangnan was not willing to let go of Tang Yin's calligraphy and painting, Shang Liang asked: ”Gentleman Lu, then in your opinion, how much more valuable is this Tang Yin's calligraphy and painting compared to the African Star Diamond?”

”From my point of view as a buyer, I hope to be able to buy this Tang Yin calligraphy and painting at the lowest price.” Lu Guangnan said unhurriedly, ”However, this calligraphy and painting of Tang Yin's is indeed priceless. Compared to the Star Diamond, it can be said to be of equal value.”

”30 million?” Shang Liang squinted his eyes.

”No, I can give you forty million.” Lu Guangnan said while beaming.

”Ok, deal!” Shang Liang happily agreed.

Although the value of the rare blue and white porcelain from the Tang Dynasty was not as high as Tang Yin's calligraphy and paintings, and the Star of Africa diamond, they were still top quality goods. Lu Guangnan set a price of 20 million. Then, there was the limited edition BYD's dual edition, one male and one female, with a total value of 10 million.
