Pagio glanced at Richard and said to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, it's not that I'm making trouble for you, I'll just say that, both sides of the bet are my friends, uh, and even said that I have a better relationship with another person, so I want to see him lose."
If you see him lose, I think you'll be happy too. ” "Who?"
Xiao Peng was puzzled.
"'Bucks' Knight."
Pagio replied.
"'Bucks' Knight?"
Xiao Peng hadn't heard of it.
"Phil Knight, the owner of the Nike brand."
Pagio replied.
Xiao Pengle was happy: "Isn't that your good friend?"
” "Yes, it's because he's a good friend that I want to see him make a fool of himself, Xiao, and your racecourse has also been invited to participate in this year's Arc de Triomphe Championship.
You go and clean him up.
Pagio laughed.
Xiao Peng took a puff of his cigar: "Peggy, I'm on vacation!"
Let's go back to this, I really don't want to go now. ” Seeing that Pagio still wanted to speak, Xiao Peng changed the topic, took out something from his pocket and handed it to Miao Miao: "Miao Miao, thank you for the gift, this is my gift to you." ” Miao Miao took it curiously: "What is this?"
Look closer: "Oh my God!
” Xiao Peng's gift to Miao Miao is a sapphire, Miao Miao is an expert in clothing design, but also a jewelry expert, pick it up and observe carefully, although this sapphire is not very big, only more than three carats, it has not been processed, but at a glance at the quality, the color is bright blue, and the quality is flawless, which is scary!
A three-carat natural sapphire, which should cut a sapphire of at least two and a half carats.
If it's a three-carat natural diamond, you may not be able to cut 25 carats, but a sapphire is fine.
Because sapphires are cut to retain most of their color, the color of a sapphire has the most important impact on price, rather than cutting into a perfect shape like a diamond.
Sapphires over two carats are rare in nature, so the price is countless times higher than a one-carat sapphire!
Not to mention the two and a half carats.
If it's a three-carat natural diamond, you may not be able to cut 25 carats, but a sapphire is fine.
Although today, there is no completely unified sapphire grading standard in the world, but the grading standards of major European and American institutions are not much different, mainly from the color, clarity, cut, treatment, and weight of the five aspects of grading.
The highest grade in the color is bright blue, and the highest level of precision is 'flawless', even if it is a professional jewelry and expert, the naked eye is 100% impurities.
This sapphire is the best of a sapphire from any point of view.
Li Ru and Rebecca saw the sapphire in Miao Miao's hand, and their eyes were about to turn into little stars, and there was no woman who didn't like jewelry.
Especially with such excellent top-notch jewelry, the two of them couldn't wait to put their eyes on it.
Li Ruyi tilted his head and looked at Xiao Peng: "Brother Peng, where did you get this from?"
” Di Wei covered his head: "Yes, I have to dig out my wallet again, Brother Peng, I hate you!"
” Xiao Peng grinned: "What?
Li Ru, do you like it?
” For example, the head is like a chicken eating rice, Xiao Peng stretched out his hand, and took out a sapphire in his palm very magically, which was almost the same quality as the one in Miao Miao's hand.
Rebecca was dumbfounded on the side, Xiao Peng turned his hand, and another one appeared in his hand: "Okay, one for each person!"
” Pagio was a little surprised on the side: "Xiao, is this Tanzanite?"
” Tanzanite is also an African gemstone that is named after it was first discovered in Tanzania.
Tanzanite comes in many colors, the main color is blue, and there are also slightly purple ones.
Many people pass it off as a sapphire.
Especially since the movie "Titanic" was broadcast, the 'heart of the ocean' in it was made of tanzanite.
So more and more people like tanzanite.
But the price of tanzanite and sapphire is worlds apart.
Sapphire and ruby are both corundum, its hardness is second only to diamond, and the nature is stable, while tanzanite hardness is only seven, it is easy to scratch, but also easy to change color, whether it is temperature or humidity is easy to affect it.
Compared with sapphire, this tanzanite is more transparent in color and larger in volume, a sapphire of more than one carat is large, and high-quality sapphire is very rare on three carats, and what about tanzanite?
More than 10 carats are common, but the price is far from sapphire, so tanzanite is called the 'poor man's sapphire'.
Miao Miao gave him a blank look: "You are stupid!

Others can't tell the difference between sapphire and tanzanite, can't you tell the difference?
After speaking, he handed him the sapphire in his hand.
Pagio took a closer look and took a cool breath: "Xiao, where did you get this?"
” Xiao Peng smiled: "Madagascar, have you forgotten what I was doing?"
How did Opal come about, that's how it came about!
I can't go to Africa empty-handed, right?
I've got to bring some souvenirs. ” After hearing this, Pagio stared at Xiao Peng seriously: "Then what souvenirs did you bring?"
” "Falklands sapphires, Falklands rubies, African rubies, diamonds, Umba sapphires, Wenza rubies and sapphires, emeralds, tourmalines, garnets and so on."
Xiao Peng replied lightly with his fingers.
"I didn't dig for cheap gems like tsavorite, patoite and tanzanite.
It's not hard enough. ” "Damn, Brother Peng, what are you doing?
You went to Africa to fight a tunnel war?
Hollowed them out?
Divi was shocked when he heard this.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I still want to play, just come across a place where there is a mine to see, these are not dug in known mines." ” Everyone present glanced at each other, and was shocked by Xiao Peng's words, Miao Miao said: "What other good gems?"
Take it out for everyone to enjoy!
” Xiao Peng's head shook like a rattle: "No, never, let you see what's the difference between that and sending a sheep into the wolf's mouth?"
When a woman sees a gem, she can't stop a man when he sees a fruit girl. ” "Really?"
Rebecca looked at Xiao Peng very meaningfully, Xiao Peng choked, this Nima forgot that there was her.
He quickly changed the topic: "Actually, in East Africa, there is a huge gem belt, when I went to see the great migration of animals in East Africa, I found a lot of gem mines, but the quality is good and bad, so I picked and chose a little higher. ” "There's a gem belt in East Africa?"
Di Wei asked curiously.
Xiao Peng simply returned to the room, took out a few palm-sized rocks from the ring and walked back: "East Africa formed a circle of alkaline basalt during the Great Crustal Fracture Period, which is an active zone of high-quality metamorphic rocks, formed by the collision of the Gondwana continental plates in the east and west.
These include countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and are also found in Sri Lanka and Madagascar.
This is the desiliconized pegmatite that I found in Mangari, Kenya, and inside it is ruby.
This is called 'African ruby'.
Xiao Peng said, pointing to a rock.
Divi took the piece of desilicated pegmatite, rubbed the friction surface, and sure enough, some natural rubies of different sizes were revealed.
The color clarity is an excellent variety.
Xiao Peng continued: "In this Mangari area, there are still a lot of corundum veins, such as Balingo ruby and pink sapphire, which are generally found in basalt formations, and you can see that the inclusions of this kind of ruby are characterized by a large number of small flake fractures, similar to the 'rose' ruby in Thailand and Cambodia.
And this mangari ruby also contains a small amount of titanium, which is a very unique ruby. ” "Tanzanian rubies, on the other hand, are concentrated in the Umba Valley in the north.
The rubies here contain very little titanium.
The best colored rubies here contain little or no titanium.
So you can feel that there is a clear difference in the color of the rubies in the two places.
The rubies here are distinctly more rose-red.
But the sapphires here are much better than those in Kenya, and the sapphires that were just given to you were all dug in the Umba area. ” "There are also good veins near the city of Songgaia, where the sapphires are more vivid because of the higher chromium content."
"But to say that the chromium content is the highest, I have to say that the beryl I found in Mozambique, oh no, it should be emerald, the chromium content of beryl there is too high, it looks like a glass-like luster, almost transparent, that's the real emerald, tsk, beautiful."
"As for diamonds, alas, in general I personally don't like diamonds very much, after all, to put it bluntly, it's just high-compression carbon, so I only dig some large and various colored diamonds, I think the color is called gemstones, and the white flowers are really not attractive."
"Fancy colored diamonds?"
Listening to Xiao Peng's words, several people's eyes were already wide, and Pagio swallowed: "Xiao, let's open our eyes." ” "That's it, Brother Peng, what you said is lively, which has aroused our curiosity."
Di Wei coaxed the seedlings on the side.
Xiao Peng thought for a long time: "Okay, I'll show you one!"
I'm not going to give any of these colored diamonds, uh.
Well, I'll show you the smallest.
After speaking, Xiao Peng put his hand into his pocket.
"You're just going to carry it with you?"

Dick was dumbfounded.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "I said, show you the smallest, what's so strange about the smallest carrying around?"
After speaking, he took out a 'kumquat' from the inner pocket of his suit.
It's really not wrong to say that it's a kumquat, the size is the same as the size of a kumquat, and the color is a bright orange!
When Miao Miao saw it, he directly reached out and grabbed it, and looked at it in front of him for a long time.
And several other people were also dumbfounded when they saw it.
Di Wei pointed to the 'kumquat' and asked Xiao Peng, "This is the smallest colored diamond you said?"
” Xiao Peng nodded: "What's strange?"
That is, more than 20 carats.
As far as I know, the largest diamond in the world is more than 3,000 carats, and the diamond on the Eagle Queen's scepter is also more than 500 carats. ” "Brother Peng, do you know 'pumpkin'?"
Di Wei asked speechlessly.
"Nonsense, I love pumpkin pie, and fried pumpkin balls are fine, are you testing me?
I still have a pumpkin in my garden.
Xiao Peng replied.
Dick Wei shook his head: "I'm talking about a diamond, the name is 'pumpkin', because it is owned by a jewelry store called Harry Winston, so it is also called the Harry Winston pumpkin diamond, which was auctioned by their second owner, Ronald Winston, at the Sotheby's New York auction in 1997 for more than $1.3 million, and that day happened to be Halloween Tokyo time, and the employees of the Tokyo branch congratulated him on getting the hardest pumpkin, so he named the diamond 'Pumpkin Diamond'." ” "You may not know that at the 2002 Oscars, the famous movie star Halle Berry won the best actress for the movie "Dance of Death Row Inmates", and she wore this diamond ring made of 'pumpkin diamond' that day.
And looking at the quality and color, I'm afraid it's not as good as yours. ” When Miao Miao heard this, he took over and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's not as good as it at all, and I have also worn the pumpkin drill."
The color and purity of the pumpkin diamond is completely inferior to that of this big one.
This has not been processed, and I dare not imagine what it will look like if it is processed. ” Xiao Peng whistled: "Wow, it looks like I'm rich."
At that time, I thought that this colored diamond was too small compared to the others, and I didn't want it, but I had never seen this color again, so I kept it. ” Pagio looked at Xiao Peng: "Does anyone say that you are very unbeaten now?"
” Xiao Peng shook his head: "Not at all, I should be as cute as I look now."
You also know me, I'm a person who doesn't like to be public, I just like to tell the truth. ” Pagio sighed and said to Miao, "What if I want to beat him up now?"
” Miao Miao laughed: "You are definitely not the only one who has this idea now. ” Xiao Pengle said: "Ouye, it seems that I have made a small fortune again, no, I want to find a place to process it, and I will also go out to show off, tsk, a string of polar bear skin big leather clothes, with a big diamond ring, what's the matter, do you feel like a nouveau riche?"
” Di Wei shook his head: "It's okay for you to wear it like this, don't let Mengzi wear it like this, if he wears it like this, someone will throw bricks on the road." ” Listening to Xiao Peng's words, everyone laughed together.
Richard's father and daughter didn't know Yang Meng and didn't know what they were laughing at, but suddenly said to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, I'm sorry." ” "Huh?
What's there to be sorry for?
Xiao Peng was stunned.
Richard said: "Claudia said that you were paid to compete for me, it was definitely an insult to you. ” Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "I like people to insult me with money, it's better to use money to stone me to death."
It's a pity that she has a bit less money.
And there are requirements.
If it were given to me for free, I swear to God that I would definitely take it. ” Pagio's eyes rolled: "Xiao, do you want to process this diamond?"
That's easy!
Shall we go to Gaul and find Armand?
You can also deal with the gems you don't want!
” "Huh?
That seems like a good idea!
”
