As long as it wasn't a robbery of De Beers' diamond warehouse or the private treasury of any foreign politician, Zeng Yutong was confident that he could handle other matters. After all, he still had the power in Hong Kong.

Even if his father gets upset, who cares about Zeng Yutong? He bought it with real money, so the only one to blame is this second-generation rich kid.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yutong completely relaxed and asked with a smile:

"So, Mr. Ling, what's your price for this batch of diamonds? Let's see if our Zhou Taifu can afford them."

Lin Sanqi did not take out all the fake diamonds, but only some of them, which added up to 200 pieces, ranging from one carat to 10 carats, but mainly large carats, and one or two carats were just to make up the number.

There are 200 top-grade large diamonds. Just imagine that the price will be sky-high.

How could Lin Sanqi know how much diamonds were worth in 1960?

Not to mention 1960, he didn't even know how much diamonds were worth in 2013. After all, he was just a poor man from an urban village and had never bought a diamond ring before.

"Boss Zeng, you're making trouble. You just said you were a straightforward person, but now you're not. So, name a price. How much are you willing to pay? If the price is right, I'll sell it to you. If not, I'll look for another dealer.

If this small place like Hong Kong can't handle it, I'll go to Taiwan or the US. If that doesn't work, I'll mortgage it to the casinos in Macau."

Zeng Yutong thought to himself, after all, he came from a wealthy family, even if he was a second-generation rich kid, he would have his own ideas.

Zeng Yutong was a little confused when he was asked to make a bid. All businessmen want to make money. If he bid too low, the other party would not agree. If he bid too high, he would not make any profit.

However, those who can become one of the four major families in the future still have the ambition to get something for free, but they have never thought of bullying other people's children.

"Well, Mr. Ling, since this is a business, you want to make money, and of course I want to make money too, so let's compromise and give it a 30% discount on the current market price. What do you think?"

Don’t think that 30% off seems low. You should know that if something of unknown origin can be given a 50% discount, it is considered good.

Lin Sanqi pretended to think for a moment before nodding:

"30% off? Boss Zeng knows how to do business. I can only get the same price at the mortgage company. Okay, I'm too lazy to go. Just do the math, how much does it add up to?"

Zeng Yuyi was overjoyed when he saw that the other party agreed.

This 30% saving is equivalent to several million dollars in profit.

The key point is that when this kind of top-grade diamond is sold at retail in the future, the price will naturally be much higher than the market price, which is equivalent to making an extra profit.

Because the diamonds were of different sizes, the appraiser began to classify them and then calculated the prices under the supervision of one of Lin Sanqi's bodyguards.

After a while, the price came out. The appraiser listed the price details one by one. Zeng Yutong took it and handed it to Lin Sanqi personally:

"Mr. Ling, please take a look."

Lin Sanqi took it and took a look. It said 8 million US dollars.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that during this period, the mainland's foreign exchange reserves were only 40 million US dollars, and these fake diamonds directly accounted for one-fifth of the national treasury.

As expected, as long as you are brave enough, Sadako can take maternity leave.

Lin Sanqi touched the 40-carat fake diamond in his pocket and thought to himself, since he wants to rip people off, he might as well rip them off all at once.

"Boss Zeng, $8 million, ahem, isn't enough to fill my hole. So, I still have a big diamond. How much can you give me?"

After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out a big diamond from his pocket and placed it on the tray.

Zeng Yutong and the appraiser's eyes narrowed immediately, and then they both gasped: "This big?"

Lin Sanqi thought, what's so big about it? I just took out 40 carats. If you want bigger ones, Dong Qinxin's store even has 500 carats of diamonds. It won't scare you to death.

Zeng Yutong immediately signaled the appraiser with his eyes. The appraiser did not hesitate and picked up the diamond to study it carefully.

After a long while, the appraiser closed his mouth and exclaimed:

"I've never seen such a perfect pigeon egg in my life. Oh no, it should be called a goose egg. Perfect clarity, perfect color, perfect cut. It seems like something other than this world, a gift from heaven. Boss..."

Zeng Yutong understood immediately that this was the appraiser's advice that he must not miss.

There are 40-carat diamonds, but such a perfect 40-carat diamond is unique in the world and its value is inestimable.

Zeng Yutong was also excited. This diamond could be regarded as the treasure of his own store. When it was exhibited, it would shock not only Hong Kong, but also the whole of Southeast Asia.

The advertising benefit alone is worth a fortune.

"Mr. Ling, are you really willing to sell this goose egg? What if your father..."

Lin Sanqi said casually:

"My family has more than one diamond like this. It won't kill my old man. Don't worry, if they find out, I'll be hung up and beaten. I'm used to that. Anyway, I'm his only son. He wouldn't dare beat me to death!"

Zeng Yutong thought to himself, I wonder which unlucky family gave birth to such a prodigal son. If it was his own son, he would beat him to death.

(Unfortunately, he only had four daughters and no sons in his life. In the end, all the family property was inherited by his four sons-in-law.)

"How about this, Mr. Ling, let's round it up and give you $10 million for all your diamonds? How about that?"

Lin Sanqi thought, a fake diamond alone is worth 2 million US dollars. It is indeed a gold belt for murder and arson. No one can get rich without unexpected wealth.

(Refer to Jacqueline, wife of US President Kennedy, who had a 40.42 carat marquise-cut diamond worth $2.6 million in the 1960s)

"Okay, I agree to $10 million. But Boss Zeng, let me make this clear: I want the money today, otherwise I won't sell it."

Zeng Yutong frowned and immediately calculated the company's and family's savings. Even if he urgently borrowed money from other wealthy people, it seemed that he would not be able to raise 10 million US dollars in one night.

"Mr. Ling, $10 million is not a small sum. I can't gather it all in one night. Can you give me a few days?"

Lin Sanqi thought that this was a one-time deal and she even put on makeup for it. If she waited a few more days, there would be too many variables.

10 million US dollars is enough for the entire Hong Kong community and even officials to issue a hunting order to seize the treasure.

In this regard, Lin Sanqi has also thought of other solutions:

"Boss Zeng, if you don't have cash, you can use gold as collateral. You're such a big jewelry store, don't say you don't have gold."

Zeng Yutong did have some ulterior motives, but when he thought about the 20 armed bodyguards outside and the power behind this young man, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a warlord who dared to mine in Africa and snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

If they really had to confront such a family and kill their only son, I'm afraid their Zeng family would also be hunted down endlessly.

Since you have already earned what you should have earned, then don't think about some other money. The long-term solution is for everyone to make money.

The Cantonese style is not to make the last penny.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yutong also nodded and said:

"That's fine. An ounce of gold is currently worth $41.50 USD, and a ton of gold is worth $1.46 million USD. So, I'll give you five tons of gold, and the remaining $2.7 million USD in cash. What do you think, Mr. Ling?"

Lin Sanqi's heartbeat was over 200 times, and his mouth was dry from nervousness, but he remained calm on the surface.

"Okay, let's do as you say. I hope Mr. Zeng can get it done within 2 hours."

Zeng Yutong was also decisive. To show his sincerity, he made the call in front of Lin Sanqi:

"Immediately withdraw five tons of gold from the vault. Also, transfer $2.7 million in cash from the bank. Yes, deliver to the New World Tower within two hours."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Sanqi winked at a bodyguard, who went out and told all the bodyguards outside to be prepared for a possible battle. The atmosphere at the scene began to become a little subtle.

Compared to Lin Sanqi's nervousness, Zeng Yutong was not planning to cheat. He felt at ease and relaxed.

"Mr. Ling, we haven't eaten anything all day. How about I order some seafood porridge?"

Lin Sanqi thought, how dare I eat your food? What if I get poisoned? Although he has the aura of a protagonist, he should not take unnecessary risks.

"Boss Zeng, you're welcome. I'm not hungry, so I won't eat. Take the money. I have to go out to Haojiang soon."

Zeng Yutong looked at the second-generation rich kid in front of him and shook his head slightly. How could he get so much money back just by going to the Haojiang Casino? He was really a top-notch spendthrift.

2 hours later, all the gold and cash arrived... (End of this chapter)
