Chapter 0819 – Crisis (I)

“Mr. Wayne, it’s better to forget about it! I don’t want to stay in this hellhole of South Africa.”

Zhuang Rui shook his head, the law and order here is really too bad, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, Zhuang Rui is not willing to stay and live here, not to mention that Africa is still an AIDS prone area, maybe one day a black man grabbed a handful of them and infected them!

“Okay! We can go to the exchange, it’s almost time.”

Wayne shrugged his shoulders, he knew that Zhuang Rui couldn’t possibly work for himself, in exchange for having a billion dollars, he couldn’t possibly go work for someone else.

It’s just that Wayne still felt sorry, after all, an excellent diamond appraiser, that’s an extremely valuable resource, a talent that all the diamond mine owners in South Africa can only dream of.

Zhuang Rui looked at his watch, it was now 12 o’clock in the morning, and he arrived at the exchange just in time for the bid opening.

“Girls and gentlemen, how are your earnings?”

Zhuang Rui and Wayne walked out of the room, while Peng Fei and the others had also completed this Diamond Taobao trip, each one of them was dirty like a flower cat, but all of them had a joyful look on their faces.

Tianya excitedly sent the diamonds in her palm to Zhuang Rui and said, “Mr. Zhuang, Liuli and I dug a total of 3 diamonds.”

“Hey, the girls are lucky, this yellow diamond is of high quality.”

Wayne grabbed the diamond that was slightly yellow in the sunlight and took it into his hands, after checking it out, he gave it back to Tenaya.

“Should I hire some Chinese workers myself?”

Wayne made a superstition, Zhuang Rui came up and picked a diamond worth tens of thousands of dollars, and this girl actually managed to find a relatively rare color diamond, are all Chinese people so lucky?

“Well, it’s not bad, the value of this yellow diamond is equal to the sum of the other two diamonds, you guys can consider one person taking the yellow diamond and the other taking the two diamonds.”

Zhuang Rui’s attention was also on the yellow diamond, but he observed it much more professionally than Wayne, the purity of this yellow diamond was not really high, but without using instruments, it was still hard to tell the flaws inside.

“Brother Zhuang, look at mine, it’s much bigger than the ones they dug up, look, it’s still a black diamond!”

Peng Fei pinched an ore with two fingers like a treasure, and shook it in front of Zhuang Rui’s eyes.

“Black diamond?”

Zhuang Rui froze for a moment at his words, and after seeing the ore that was the size of his thumb, his face couldn’t help but become a bit odd: “It’s quite big, but ……”

“But what? You see the luster on the outside, it’s definitely a diamond!”

Seeing Zhuang Rui’s look, Peng Fei felt a little bad and directly shoved that ore into Zhuang Rui’s hand.

“Hmm, not bad.” Zhuang Rui muttered out of his mouth, and Peng Fei was overjoyed.

“It’s a nice piece of cloud fluorite, worth a few dollars, haha ……”

After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, he couldn’t hold back his laughter any longer, and after throwing the stone to Peng Fei, he laughed out loud, even Wayne couldn’t help but laugh along with Zhuang Rui.

“Isn’t it just looking away? What’s so great about it, didn’t you find no diamonds yourself?”

Peng Fei some unconvinced, the broken ore as treasure like stay half a day, was Zhuang Rui look actually worthless, white waste of half a day dare.

“Me?”

Zhuang Rui laughed, took out the original stone threw a bit, said: “You do not compare with me, look at me this one, at least worth more than thirty thousand dollars.”

“No, I’ll plow a few more hoes to go.” Peng Fei was a little reluctant.

“Come on, get in the car and go, I’ll go home after I finish my business in the afternoon, this one you put away first!” Zhuang Rui pulled Peng Fei and threw the diamond to him.

Six or seven carat diamonds are considered very precious in the eyes of ordinary people, but for Zhuang Rui, he still doesn’t really look at it, “Dude if you want to get diamonds, then at the very least you need to be like the ‘Star of Africa’ to be able to do it!”

From Wayne’s mines to the diamond exchange, it was about a two-hour drive.

After arriving at the exchange, Wayne took Zhuang Rui and ran to a small restaurant behind the exchange, and simply ate something, the flavor …… was certainly not good, even Peng Fei, who is not so picky about what he eats, ate straight and frowned.

If they didn’t know Wayne’s identity, Lurie and the others really couldn’t guess that this unkempt, unfussy eater was actually a billionaire.

Muta was sitting in a bulletproof Mercedes, looking at Zhuang Rui who was talking and laughing with Wayne, his face couldn’t help but be a little hazy, and he backhanded a slap on the face of the valet sitting in the front row.

In fact, Muta had almost forgotten Zhuang Rui from inside his memory if he didn’t see him now, but Zhuang Rui’s appearance reminded him of that throat-slitting maneuver from yesterday, which made Duke Mu very unpleasant.

“General, that Chinese is too tightly defended, calling in armored vehicles from Wayne’s company, if we have to kill him, it will cause a war.”

The valet was a bit aggravated, he was assigned by Muta’s father to protect Muta, who knew that all he did all day long was to fight over jealousy and even assassinate people that Muta didn’t like, he never did a serious thing.

“Did you find out where they came from?” Muta narrowed his eyes, he didn’t expect Zhuang Rui to be able to mobilize Wayne’s armored car, which was a bit of a problem.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Muta was not willing to mess with Wayne, although he didn’t like this Yankee, Muta had to admit that if he took out Wayne, all the diamond miners in South Africa, would classify him as persona non grata.

The valet respectfully replied back, “General, they are Hong Kong people, using Hong Kong’s diamond license, and they also came by private plane, and I heard that the business is still very big.”

That method of the general yesterday really worked well, he himself just slightly hinted to William about that Venezuelan beauty of his, and William obediently took out Zhuang Rui’s information.

“Hong Kong? Oh, it’s the land of the Brits.”

Muta stroked his chin and laughed, but the black valet next to him was very unimpressed, this dude is really uneducated, Hong Kong was returned to China seven or eight years ago.

“I suppose father would be happy if something happened to them? South Africa was once a British colony!” Muta’s mushy head could actually remember that.

“General, you really want to? But ……”

The valet froze for a moment, to break through the defense of the armored car, it would take at least two bazookas, he couldn’t get those in a moment’s time!

“There’s nothing but, didn’t I ask you to buy some C4 some time ago? Originally, I wanted to give them to those old guys in China who are not on the right side of father, now let this Hong Kong person enjoy them! You go at once.”

Muta giggled, laughing a little creepy, only Muta did not know, this decision of his, let him personally enjoy the taste of the ancient Chinese “lynching”.

Zhuang Rui did not see Muta, he entered the exchange, was led into a room, in the room there is a computer, there is a countdown stopwatch from three o’clock in the afternoon in the non-stop jumping.

“Mr. Zhuang Rui, wait until three o’clock, all the bid opening information will be displayed here, you can trade according to your winning bid, if you regret after winning the bid, your diamond trading license will be revoked.”

This time, the person who served Zhuang Rui was not the William from yesterday, but another white employee, Bernard, this dude was also a bit puzzled in his heart, he didn’t understand why William followed up with the customer and let himself go? You know, if the customer turnover is very large, the commission is quite a lot.

Bernard didn’t know that William was afraid of that crazy guy Muta, and he was also afraid that in case Zhuang Rui was taken out by Muta, the people behind Zhuang Rui would track down the matter of him leaking the client information.

“There are still three minutes left.”

Zhuang Rui is also a little nervous, he has decided, as long as the more than 20,000 broken diamonds won the bidding, immediately leave South Africa, as for those diamonds with higher grades, they can also be purchased from the middleman in the future, at most the price is a little bit higher.

With the computer countdown stopwatch turned to zero, a series of tables on the screen quickly refreshed.

“Bingo, this one is also Bingo, good, the mission is considered complete.”

Zhuang Rui used the mouse to pull down that electronic winning bid, behind several bid numbers, he found his own bid number, which made Zhuang Rui breathe a sigh of relief, although the winning bid was much higher than expected, but no matter what, it was considered to be the completion of the task explained by his old husband.

“Mr. Zhuang, please confirm your winning bid number and the amount, if there are no problems, I will go and bring the diamonds you won and transfer the money.”

After operating on the computer for a bit, Bernard faced the monitor towards Zhuang Rui, he had already pulled up the diamond number and total amount that Zhuang Rui had won.

“Yes, please arrange it as soon as possible! I’m leaving South Africa today.”

Zhuang Rui nodded, the total was one hundred and ninety-eight million dollars, this amount was a little less than he expected, after converting all the euros in his hand into dollars, there were still a few tens of millions left.

The reason for this situation was because that pink diamond Zhuang Rui didn’t shoot it.

“Okay, Mr. Zhuang, please wait.”

Bernard saw Zhuang Rui determined, his heart was overjoyed, immediately went out to make arrangements, diamonds worth nearly two hundred million dollars, but need to be very cautious, a little mistake, one can not bear the consequences.

After about an hour or so, Bernard returned to the room, carrying an alloy box in his hand, behind him, followed by two big waisted security guards.

“Mr. Zhuang, this special password box is our gratuitous gift to you, it uses a fingerprint lock, the original password has been lifted, you can reset the password after you have inspected the goods.”

Bernard put the password box in his hand in front of Zhuang Rui, this trade fair until now, this kind of password box was only sent out a total of 2.
