Chapter 0818 – Diamond Mine (II)
“Yes, this is the raw diamond, beautiful young lady, your luck is very good.”
Wayne who was following behind Zhuang Rui, recognized it at a glance, don’t look at just this little bit big, after processing it should be able to have about one carat, even if the purity of this diamond is not good, then at least it can be worth more than 10,000 RMB.
“Good, the purity is okay, probably can be worth about thirty thousand, our girl scout is very powerful, Lao He, you don’t just focus on planing the soil, also take the sieve to screen down ah!” Zhuang Rui gave an idea to the envious He Shuang and Ding Hao, and casually returned the diamond to Tenya.
Although this place had already been mined, but along the way, Zhuang Rui found that there were still quite a few diamonds left under the ground in the stars, and even if he didn’t use a shovel, as long as he had the time, he could still sift out quite a few diamonds.
However, these missed fish, basically are a carat below the goods, take out to sell is not very valuable.
Tengya and Liuli luck is really good, the first diamond on the block head is not small, Zhuang Rui roughly look at, gave a price of 30,000 to.
“Mr. Zhuang, this …… or give you it!”
Tenaya feel a little embarrassed, they would have taken the salary is not much work, and came to this digging diamonds, but also other people look at the face of the boss, Tenaya said that the diamond again to Zhuang Rui hand stuffed.
“Don’t, this is the fruit of your labor, Mr. Wayne said, digging are their own, you can dig an African Star, that is really earned!”
Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, the African Star he said, is the end of the last century, appeared in Africa, a huge diamond, the weight of 212 carats, and finally by an unknown person, in the auction with thirty-six million U.S. dollars photographed away.
Of course, Zhuang Rui was joking, if that kind of giant diamond really appeared, I’m afraid that Wayne would immediately let go of what he just said as a fart.
“Let’s go, Peng Fei, let’s start working too!”
Zhuang Rui walked out seven or eight meters later, suddenly felt Peng Fei did not follow, turned around and looked, this buddy with a shovel pouting ass already busy on, can not help but bitterly smile and shook his head, want to diamonds, follow yourself is not easy?
To be honest, Zhuang Rui do not see these left behind broken diamonds, according to his idea, how to find a three or five carat diamonds, so that Wayne good heartache.
However, Zhuang Rui didn’t feel any diamonds with particularly overflowing aura in the thirty to forty meters around here, so he walked towards a slightly farther place and raised his eyes to see a few machines running not far away.
“Mr. Wayne, your equipment is a bit too poor, isn’t it?”
The two bulldozers and excavators parked at the side were covered in rust, and were at most thirty to fifty percent new, and as for the ore washing machine, it was even more worn out, and as it turned, it made a “rattling!” sound.
Four or five blacks were operating those machines, and they loaded all the cleaned ore into a large iron plate for screening, but these blacks were only responsible for operating the machines, and screening the diamonds was not their business, which was handled by specialists.
This way of digging diamonds was much more advanced than Zhuang Rui and the others taking shovels to dig and then sifting themselves.
“Zhuang, there’s no way around it, South Africa doesn’t have a place where heavy machinery is produced and assembled, these machines are all bought from Japan and Korea at high prices, those damn guys, things are sold at high prices and they’re still always broken. Oh yeah, in my other two mines, there are a few of your Chinese made ‘Dongfanghong’ bulldozers, still made 20 years ago, top quality.”
Wayne said while crossing his thumbs at Zhuang Rui, he has 12 diamond mines in South Africa, if all of them are excavated by machinery, it will be a big expense, so for open pit mines like this, Wayne is more manpower to do it.
Zhuang Rui very contemptuous look at Wayne, now the country can not find 20 years ago the production of the Dongfanghong bulldozer, it is estimated that this buddy is from the South African government there to get China’s former aid to Africa machinery.
Wayne saw Zhuang Rui holding the shovel has not been digging, touched Zhuang Rui with his hand, said mysteriously: “Zhuang, you do not dig ore, I will take you to choose diamonds, right?”
Diamond digging is to be divided into several steps, the first is to choose the mining area, and then use the machinery to dig out the ore into the washing machine cleaning, the last is to screen diamonds, which is also the most important step.
In South Africa, this place, screening diamonds this step, are generally mine owners or mine owners of close friends personally, and mine owners in South Africa, resolutely will not let the black people to do this work, that is, the whole of South Africa, a handful of South African black mine owners also so.
A lot of black South African workers, often working all their lives, have never seen a large carat raw stone, because they simply can not touch what comes out from inside the washing machine.
“Good! I also want to see what comes out of this diamond mine of Mr. Wayne.”
Zhuang Rui smiled and nodded, it was a rare thing to be invited by a diamond mine owner to visit a beneficiation mine.
Zhuang Rui followed Wayne and walked back to the house, two white drivers brought the crushed ore that had just been rinsed in the fine washing machine, to the room, and at the door there were two security guards with guns.
“Zhuang, now there are a total of twelve disks of diamonds that have not yet been screened, you can pick a disk to choose, I will give you the biggest diamond that you have chosen.”
Zhuang Rui bought Wayne seventy to eighty million dollars worth of diamonds this time, Wayne sincerely wanted to give Zhuang Rui a little gift, of course, if Zhuang Rui’s luck was too bad, then there was nothing he could do.
Zhuang Rui glanced toward the several iron plates containing the ore, then smiled and said, “Good! Then I …… will pick the second plate!”
“Good luck!”
Wayne said as he snapped the first plate of ore onto the stone selection table in the room, in fact, the so-called stone selection table was a table with a layer of beast skin on top, and on top of that there was a strong light facing the table.
Wayne held a special wooden clip in his hand, eyeing the small black crushed stones on the table, from time to time using the clip to pick up a stone to check.
But Wayne’s luck didn’t seem to be good, inside the first tray of ores, only two crushed diamonds that were still less than one carat were picked out.
“Man, it’s up to you.”
Wayne shrugged his shoulders, and after giving his place to Zhuang Rui, he picked up the second shift plate and inverted it on the table.
“Haha, Wayne, my luck seems to be better than yours.”
Zhuang Rui laughed aloud as he accurately clipped a diamond after fiddling with those ores for a few moments in a pretentious manner.
As soon as he entered the room just now, Zhuang Rui found this diamond, the purity was good and the size was not small, Zhuang Rui was cursing in his heart that Wayne had gotten lucky, he didn’t expect that Wayne would actually let him pick a plate to choose from, Zhuang Rui naturally wouldn’t be polite.
“How is this …… this possible?”
Played half a lifetime of diamonds, Wayne saw at a glance Zhuang Rui clip on the piece of diamond, at least six carats or more, after processing the cut, it is estimated that there are also about five carats, which is already considered a large diamond.
Such a diamond, even if it is a raw stone, is also expensive, it is estimated that it should be around $30,000 to $80,000, because of his own words to give it away, Wayne inevitably some meat pain.
“Don’t be anxious, Wayne, there are still quite a few on this plate!”
Zhuang Rui saw Wayne’s ugly face, can’t help but feel happy in his heart, there are indeed quite a lot of diamonds in this second plate, Zhuang Rui’s right hand quickly picked it out, a total of just nine, plus the first one, the total weight should be more than 15 carats.
See in addition to that big diamond, Zhuang Rui actually picked out so many diamonds, Wayne’s face became eased up, he was afraid that Zhuang Rui picking is not careful, he went up to sift through again, actually one more did not find out.
“Zhuang, you should come and work for me, I will pay you the highest salary in all of South Africa.”
Wayne smiled and joked to Zhuang Rui, picking up the large carat diamond and walking towards the analyzer.
He didn’t suspect anything, knowing that mastering the method of screening diamonds, that was the most basic quality a diamond trader should have.
“Oh man, your luck is really good, the luster has F color, the purity can reach VVS2 level, this diamond you can give to your own wife, it represents good luck. But …… Zhuang, you should work for me for an hour, pick out all the remaining diamonds for me.”
After Wayne finished testing, he tossed the diamond to Zhuang Rui, although the diamond was expensive, it wasn’t enough to make Wayne backtrack.
“Alright! As you wish.”
This job was not challenging for Zhuang Rui, he only needed to take a look with his aura to tell if there was a diamond inside the ore and where it was located.
In just over half an hour’s time, Zhuang Rui had picked out all the remaining diamonds, and there were actually quite a lot of them, a total of sixty to seventy.
“Man, you’re not a diamond hand, are you? Stay and work for me!”
After weighing on the scales, Wayne shouted out, this was just a morning’s work, surprisingly more than a hundred carats of diamonds were harvested, the result of several days of usual work.
Wayne also really got up a trace of Zhuang Rui will stay in the mind.
Contact with the South African diamond mine owners may know, although these guys do not know what is called feudal, but is extremely superstitious, they believe that screening diamonds must be specific good luck to do so.
So in the South African diamond mine, the highest income is not those miners, but the staff responsible for diamond screening.
However, Wayne also knows, want to Zhuang Rui to stay, estimates that he will give this diamond mine to Zhuang Rui is more or less.
