“Mr Zhou This is the appraisal result for the first diamond”

The appraiser took out a note from the appraisal instruht 506 carat, color F, clarity VS1, stone cut EX, polish EX, symmetrical EX, fluorescence N… The market price for this is 315600 USD If sold to the Bounty Hunter association, its price is 252480 USD

The diaed from D to Z The earlier the alphabet, the purer the color It began to start yellowing after H

As for the stone cut, there’s EX and VG In English, it represented ‘excellent’ and ‘very good’ It ood

For clarity VS1, it htly included”, has very few ihest quality is FL, which meant ‘flawless’ or perfect This type of diaenerally be seen in a diamond exhibition

And fluorescence meant the color when the diaht, which it would typically eht N is for ‘none’ because there was no fluorescence observed under the visible light So, it generally wouldn’t affect the diamond’s price

For the second diah it’s 612 carats, but because the color was only an L, and the clarity was only ordinary, the final price was less than 100k USD

The appraisal appraised one by one until he reached one of them and exclaimed “Oh, my God How excellent!” he praised

The twelfth diamond was 520 carats The color D, clarity FL (flawless), stone cut EX, polish EX, sy blue)…Finally, the appraiser gave out a top dollar price of 168m USD

Diamonds over 5 carats with clarity FL are extremely rare All of its attributes are perfect, except for the blue fluorescence Many diamond lovers preferred non-fluorescent diaht such diamonds are the purest But some also like the blue diamond because such diamonds represented romance

The price of USD168eneral valuationthe perfect diamond, it would be absolutely more than this price A blue diamond with perfect attributes, there’s absolutely no market price for this diamond

Even Zhou Jian was hesitant to sell it These 28 dia are most likely come from a diamond lover’s collection It wouldn’t be froh

The appraiser spent a short time and coave out was USD698 , the purchase price that the Bounty Hunter association gave out was USD559m

After hearing this price, Zhou Jian already prepared his heart, and yet still couldn’t help but burst in excitement This is equal to 30m yuan ah!

“Mr, are you prepared to sell all of it?”

Zhou Jian hesitated He wanted to take out the perfect dia such a precious diamond to the Bounty Hunter association was too reckless and wasteful, similar to a wholesale But, he really needed the money to invest now

The appraiser saw Zhou Jian’s hesitation and suggested “The Bounty Hunter association also perfor to sell, you can pawn the diaain in the future The annual simple interest rate is 7 percent The deadline is 3 years If it expired, then there’s no use”

Zhou Jian calculated for a while Seven percent is only about USD100k, he could reluctantly accept it Even if he redeeain in three years, this diamond price would also rise to be the same with the market price He wouldn’t lose too much So, he said: “Good I’ll pawn this FL diamond The rest, I’ll completely sell it”

The appraiser showed the proof of the appraisal to Zhou Jian, and later, he gave a diamond VIP card of the Bounty Hunter association to Zhou Jian and said: “Because of the large amount involved, there’s a 24 hours wait for the account transfer time before it can be completed This diamond VIP card allowed an overdraft of USD1m from the Bounty Hunter Bank In addition, by the virtue of this card, all the spending in all the industries of the BH financial group would enjoy a 20 discount, as well as priority”

Zhou Jian nodded Although he could even think with his knee about the status of this card, and what it symbolized But to Zhou Jian, it didn’tin the US

Zhou Jian joyfully left the appraisal center But Andy, as if he received the neaiting outside and at this tiirl It wasn’t clear which country she’s from (tl: hello? Asian American?)

“Mr Zhou Are you satisfied with the appraisal result?”

“Very satisfied I want to thank Mr Martin”

“No probleapore She’s prepared by our association to help with Mr Zhou translate for the next two days Her Chinese is very good”

“How’re you? I’ht Hong Kong accent It sounded a bit delicate

“hello Actually, I don’t need a translator Thank you very much” Zhou Jian waved his hand He truly didn’t need a translator Furthermore, he had a secret, which is the Ghost Killer So, it’s not convenient to have a translator following around

The female translator called Lucy appeared to be somewhat disappointed She had heard from Andy’s mouth about Zhou Jian’s status and wealth

Andy said: “Then Mr Zhou also doesn’t need a tour guide?”

“There’s no need” Zhou Jian rejected with a smile
