Kaili laughed like he'd just heard a ridiculous joke, "A thousand yuan is my charity to these pigs. If any of them disobey me, I'll be merciful if I don't give them a beating, not to mention their salary."
Qin Feng, who was standing next to him, saw that Long Yi’s face was not right, and hurried forward and whispered: “Mr. Long, these people are workers who were deceived by Kaili.
This isolated mine has no humanity at all. Even if you want to, you can't save them. Should we just leave it alone?"
Long Yi thought for a moment and could only nod helplessly.
He is not a kind-hearted person. If he wants to help these poor compatriots out of their predicament now, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the future cooperation. He can only wait and see if there will be a suitable opportunity later.
After they walked forward for a while, Kaili pointed to a patch of gravel in front of them and said, "Beautiful Miss Ling, there is an unmined diamond mining area ahead.
Because of your beauty, I am willing to open my door to you for one hour for free, and all the diamonds I dig up during this time will belong to you."
Ling Bingqian remained unmoved and said coldly, "I appreciate your kindness..."
Long Yi interrupted her quietly and whispered, "Bingqian, there's no reason to refuse money that comes right to your door."
Kaili saw that his earnest offer was rejected and said regretfully, "That's really a pity."
"Mr. Carey, I think you may have misunderstood me. I want my boyfriend to be with me." Ling Bingqian added.
Kaili suddenly felt a sense of frustration. He had been so attentive, but Ling Bingqian was still thinking about her boyfriend.
But the words were already spoken, and going back on them now would only make him look petty. He said with a pained face, "Of course! I, Kaili, only want to win a beautiful woman's smile."
A sneer appeared on Long Yi's face. When he left the mine, the beauty might not smile, but Kaili would definitely cry.
He put on a cheerful face and said, "Mr. Carey, that's very generous of you, but isn't an hour too long?"
Kaili said very proudly: "What do you know? This is the most abundant diamond mine in Longguo, and it is not inferior to those famous diamond mines in South Africa.
When I first came here, I only dug a few shovels and found a diamond of nearly ten carats. If you are lucky, you can definitely do it too."
Long Yi laughed in his heart. Kaili was obviously bragging. He had just used Xuantian Qi to sweep across this diamond mine. Diamonds weighing about ten carats were buried deep underground. How could they be dug out with a shovel?
But he didn't intend to expose it. Instead, he said very cooperatively, "Well, I hope I can have the same good luck as Mr. Carey."
He picked out a handy shovel from the toolbox next to him, while Ling Bingqian chose a sieve specially used to remove sand and gravel.
Long Yi took Ling Bingqian to wander around in the open gravel ground, looking like a tiger trying to eat the sky but not knowing where to start.
He looked confused, but he was actually surveying the richness of diamonds in this mine and at the same time brewing a plan in his mind.
Kaili said disdainfully from a distance: "Mr. Long, diamonds are dug out, not seen. If you don't dig with a shovel, do you expect them to pop out on their own?
If you can't do it, let me take over. If we wait any longer, Miss Ling's fair skin will be sunburned."
Ling Bingqian frowned, turned around and said coldly, "Mr. Kaili, please don't bother with our affairs. I'm willing to wait for Brother Yi."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Long Yi picked a spot with a richer surface of diamonds and said, "Bingqian, I think this spot is good. Let me try it first."
As he spoke, he swung the shovel in his hand. After digging a dozen times in a covert manner, he placed a shovelful of gravel with broken diamonds into the sieve in Ling Bingqian's hand.
Ling Bingqian was selecting them very seriously. Although these small diamonds were nothing to her, what was precious was that Long Yi was by her side, which she considered a great happiness.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pinched a rough diamond the size of a soybean from the sieve with her fingers. She said happily, "Brother Yi, we actually found a diamond!"
Although Long Yi had expected this, he still pretended to be excited and said, "We are really lucky today."
Kaili trotted over and flattered, "Miss Ling, your luck is as outstanding as your beauty."
Ling Bingqian ignored him and asked Long Yi, "Brother Yi, how much is this diamond worth?"
“I don’t know much about the diamond market.”
Long Yi has never been interested in these jewelry items. In his opinion, diamonds are just carbon, and it is only the hunger marketing of capital that has raised the price to this level.
Kaili naturally would not miss the opportunity to show off in front of Ling Bingqian, and said in a pretentious manner: "Ms. Ling, I know the market price of diamonds very well.
The rough diamond in your hand is approximately two carats. Preliminary assessment shows it to be of good purity. After simple polishing, the market price should be 15,000 Dragon Coins."
Ling Bingqian asked suspiciously, "Isn't the market price of a one-carat diamond around 30,000? How come my two-carat diamond is only worth 15,000?"
Carey explained: “The market price you are talking about is for a finely polished finished diamond, while the diamond in your hand is still an unprocessed rough diamond with no added value.
If you polish it carefully, I believe the market price will be around 70,000 or 80,000 yuan."
Ling Bingqian nodded, feeling a little excited. She didn't expect that a diamond she picked up casually would be so valuable.
She continued to search in the sieve, but she obviously didn't have such good luck in the next hour.
I could only pick out some shapeless diamonds, some of which were less than half a carat. All in all, they were worth about $80,000.
There was no surprise in Kaili's eyes. As Long Yi and the other man were inexperienced and this was their first time mining, they were considered lucky to have achieved such a result.
He smiled generously, "Beautiful Miss Ling, all the diamonds you mined belong to you. If you need anything, I can help you process them for free and give them to you as a diamond ring."
Ling Bingqian's eyes were cold. "Thank you very much, but what I like is not the diamond, but this happy hour with Brother Yi."
A cold light flashed in Kaili's eyes, but he concealed it cleverly. He was determined to get Ling Bingqian today no matter what.
He put on a cute face and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Long, I remember you said you were here to discuss cooperation. I just mined a batch of diamonds last month. Why don't we go and see the quality together?"
Long Yi nodded slightly. His main purpose of coming to the mine this time was to help Li Yutong's Clover Jewelry Company purchase a batch of diamonds and open up the high-end market in Beijing in one fell swoop.
