Chapter 903: Ending the Cause and Effect
"Ahem, it finally came out."
Bifang, covered in dust, crawled out of the mine with a huge package on his back. His beige exploration outfit had turned completely gray, and there were unknown black oil stains on his elbows and knees.
The cheetah behind him had turned into a black panther at some point, and was almost unrecognizable.
At this time, Jerry seemed to feel the change in environment and the influx of fresh air, and finally dared to stick his head out of his pocket, his dark eyes constantly looking around.
Halley shook his body, and a large amount of lime fell from his hair, accumulating on the ground to form an outline circle.
The dust raised made Bifang sneeze several times, but in the blink of an eye he also slapped his head, and the sand and gravel rubbed against his scalp and slid out of his hair, also raising a cloud of dust, which choked Harley and made him sneeze several times.
"Hahaha."
Bifang laughed and put down the big package on his back.
Now not only my body but also my mood felt much more relaxed.
【Refreshed】
[It can be said to be very childish]
【Fang Bao is cute】
[I suspect this is deliberate retaliation, I report it]
[Report is invalid, you will be punished to clean toilets for a week]
Bifang unscrewed the lid of the kettle and took a big gulp, then poured most of the remaining water on his face, washing away all the sweat and dust on his face. He wiped away the water droplets, breathed in the fresh air of the grassland, and looked out at the vast world.
He did not return the same way, but chose the passage leading to the outside world from the original three forks in the road and walked out of it.
It took at least five or six hours to explore the entire mine.
Fortunately, Bifang discovered the mine very early, and found the entrance before eight in the morning. Including the time spent exploring the cave, it is only about one in the afternoon.
During this period of time, there is plenty of natural light, and due to the angle of the sun, the shadow of the mountain is much narrower than what I saw when I first came out of the cave, and it is replaced by a brighter grassland.
Seeing that the natural light was so good, Bifang quickly took out a small leather bag from his pocket, opened the bag, pulled out the incredibly heavy pink diamond, pinched it between his index finger and thumb, rinsed it with the last bit of clean water, and then raised his hand to the sun.
In an instant, brilliant light burst out from the pink diamond, and with the help of solar particles, it exudes a charm that is difficult for the world to match.
The color of pink diamonds under natural light is undoubtedly more dazzling and crystal clear, far beyond the rough observation in the harsh environment of a dark mine with only torches as the only light source.
Bifang gazed at the gems shining in the sun with amazement: "They are rare and precious enough, and they have extraordinary beauty.
For this reason, natural pink diamonds are called a miracle of nature.
Of course, it is also a hotbed of evil.
This is true for every precious gemstone.
They are the devil's favorite bait.
On the larger and older stones, each facet symbolizes a bloody crime.”
[This sounds so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere before]
【Ah, it’s a book friend! 】
[There are countless love, hate and hatred hidden behind every diamond. Such a beautiful diamond should be stuffed into a goose's stomach and sent to the ragged old professor's home on Christmas Eve! ]
【What book?】
【Hello, brother, haven’t you seen Sherlock Holmes?】
Humans tend to have a high degree of commonality when it comes to beautiful things.
Who doesn’t like to see a shiny gem suddenly appear in the gray soil?
There is no doubt that at this moment, millions of viewers have been shocked by the beauty of this pink diamond.
Jerry stood on Bifang's shoulder without blinking, as if he, as a Gambian rat, was also bewitched by the gem.
[It's pretty. I should be able to make a pink glass cutter.]
[How much money does it take to cut glass with such a big diamond?]
[I’m guessing that some people will say that it’s just hype about glass (dog head)]
[Didn’t Master Fang explain it very clearly? The difference between consumer goods and investment goods. Jewelry is something people pay for because it’s beautiful. Only when it’s big enough can it retain its value.]
[The first batch of artificial diamonds appeared at the beginning of the last century, but auction houses have been selling diamonds worth hundreds of millions every year. The prices have not been affected at all, but have continued to rise year after year. Those who spend hundreds of millions on gems are all fools, right? (Funny)]
[To put it bluntly, the market for high-end gemstones does not overlap at all with the market for people who would consider buying artificial gemstones. One is the accessories market, and the other is the jewelry market.]
The influx of a large number of onlookers led to a lot more spectators making sarcastic remarks . There were not so many of them in the cave before, but the proportion has been rising after they came out.
Bifang actually doesn't care about this.
When a scam becomes widely known but does not have much impact, it itself speaks volumes.
There are not so many fools in the world, but there are not necessarily so few smart people either.
Besides, no matter how others look at it, the pink diamond in his hand is worth a guaranteed minimum of 20 million Ugly Dollars, which is an ironclad fact.
It is 20 million ugly yuan and it will never change.
Thinking of this, Bifang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smile.
At this moment, a large number of purchase information suddenly popped up in the barrage of the live broadcast room, and the prices offered were quite high, ranging from a few cents to tens of millions.
It's only a few cents, needless to say, it's just netizens' fun.
As for Bifang who made the offer, he didn't look at it carefully. Diamonds are very important in terms of color. Just as there are no two roses in the world that are exactly the same, the color of each pink natural diamond is also different, ranging from light pink to dark pink.
Different color saturations have vastly different values.
If a price is given now, even if it seems quite high, there is still the idea of getting a bargain.
Only gem experts or painters can accurately find these colors on the palette. It is impossible to make an accurate judgment without trying it yourself.
There are a few that look real, and the names reported are quite well-known, and a rough color and value assessment is given based on the images at the time, which are basically similar.
That is, the value range is between 13 million and 44 million.
However, what everyone wants more is to go to Kenya to observe it in person.
A pink diamond of this level is worth taking a plane to get, even if you get nothing in the end.
It is no exaggeration to say that the annual production of natural pink diamonds cannot even fill a champagne glass.
Only one natural pink diamond may be found among 100,000 natural diamonds.
The most important thing is that diamonds also have added value, that is, legendary level.
There are two identical diamonds, one was dug out from a mine normally, and the other was the favorite of a king hundreds of years ago. It even caused a bloody storm. The value of the latter is definitely much higher than the former.
That’s the added value.
Bifang this...
It may sound a bit shameless to say, but in the common understanding of the world now, he seems to have become a legendary explorer. Countless media have called him the world's first adventurer, who pioneered the modern adventure form and could be recorded in the annals of explorer history.
The background story of a pink diamond soaked in blood that Bifang accidentally obtained during his wild journey in South Africa has a very high added value.
Collectors don't mind spending millions more on top of the diamond's value to buy this extra value.
So that when visitors appreciate the collection, they can say that this priceless and magnificent gem was once owned by the legendary explorer Mr. Bi Fang, who brought it back from a mine in South Africa during an accidental expedition. If it had not been for his discovery, this gem might never have appeared in front of the world and would have been buried in dust soaked with blood.
Look, how impressive!
It can be seen that the news that Bifang obtained the pink diamond has spread, and many collectors and gem appraisers, and even the auction house, acted very quickly, running to the live broadcast room to bid and make contacts, and they were all anxious to death.
"Let's talk about it later. I don't want to interrupt my trip to the grassland. If you are really interested, you can go to the conservation center and wait for me. I still need to burn ivory there."
After Bifang gave the unified reply, he stopped responding, picked up two large packages from the ground, looked at the grassland, and finally went down the mountain and came under an acacia tree.
In the African savannah, in addition to the short grass that fills the entire view, what is even more eye-catching are the sparsely distributed tall trees.
The umbrella-shaped crown of the acacia tree, with yellow bark and covered with sharp thorns, is elegant and graceful, decorating the grassland like a green umbrella, and is also a delicious meal for herbivores such as elephants.
It is the most common tree in the African savannas, silently outlining the unique exotic atmosphere of the entire African continent.
Bifang came under the tree, assembled a small shovel using stones, a wooden handle and a rope, and began to dig a hole under the tree.
"The acacia tree has many symbolic meanings. In Africa, the most typical one is 'resurrection from the dead'. When a child is sick, a mother will plant an acacia tree with her own hands so that the child can recover. Relatives will also bury the dead under the tree as a final remembrance."
"I don't know what grudge there is between the two, but since I got the diamond from them, I'll send them on their final journey to settle the cause and effect."
