Gu Shaoyang's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and he angrily said, "It's still uncertain who will win or lose. This must be a fake diamond grown artificially. At best, it can only fool laymen."
He took two steps forward in frustration and picked up a diamond from the snakeskin bag. However, judging from its quality and transparency, this pigeon egg-sized diamond was genuine.
Long Yi jokingly said, "Mr. Gu, tell me what's wrong with my diamond."
Gu Shaoyang was speechless. Angrily, he called several appraisers to check the diamonds. "Check these diamonds one by one for me. If there is even one fake diamond, it will be considered cheating!"
Several appraisers wearing white gloves carefully identified each diamond.
Although they are a professional appraisal agency and in principle will not favor any party, they are still wary of the Gu family's strength.
Anyone who can find any problems with a diamond might even be rewarded by Gu Shaoyang.
More than ten minutes later, a young appraiser excitedly said, "Mr. Gu, although this diamond is 13 carats, its color and clarity are very strange. It's most likely a parallel import."
Gu Shaoyang was ecstatic. Just as he expected, Long Yi used despicable means to mix real and fake diamonds. If this diamond was confirmed to be fake, then Long Yi would have lost the bet.
He said with a beaming expression, "Mr. Long, you've already found something fishy halfway through the inspection. Your Clover Company is indeed a shady business."
Long Yi did not look panicked at all. These diamonds were collected by him personally, so there was no way there could be any fakes.
Gu Shaoyang impatiently snatched the diamond from the appraiser's hand, looked at it for a while, and said sarcastically: "Boy, this diamond actually has a blue glow inside. If it is really natural, how could this happen?"
The subordinate beside him also jokingly said: "Master Gu, I said this guy is not a good bird. This fake diamond is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows how many fakes Clover Company has sold."
For a moment, the crowd was excited and began to criticize.
"It seems the online rumors aren't groundless. I used to think Clover was a good shop."
"I will never buy anything from their store again. It's a scam indeed."
"They were caught red-handed this time. Looks like Clover Company can't clear its name."
Gu Shaoyang was very satisfied with the direction of public opinion. He raised the diamond in his hand and said more harshly, "Look at this, everyone. How can a natural diamond emit a blue light? I think this fake diamond was not colored correctly during cultivation."
He looked at Long Yi provocatively and said arrogantly, "Mr. Long, this is what they call "you reap what you sow". I want to see how you plan to explain it."
Long Yi sneered, "Idiot, open your eyes and see, what you have in your hand is a blue diamond. If a blue diamond doesn't have a blue tint, how can it have a green tint?"
Gu Shaoyang's expression changed slightly. He didn't even think about the blue diamond. You know, blue diamonds are extremely rare in nature, and the probability of being mined is only one in ten thousand, not to mention that this is a blue diamond over 10 carats.
He blew a breath on the surface of the diamond without giving up, and the water mist formed on the surface of the diamond dissipated instantly, which proved that the diamond had strong heat conductivity and was undoubtedly a natural diamond.
If it is an artificially cultivated diamond, the speed at which the surface fog dissipates will be greatly slowed down. This is the easiest way to distinguish natural diamonds from artificial diamonds.
Gu Shaoyang shouted at the appraiser, "Check it carefully for me to see if this diamond is a natural diamond."
Several appraisers took the diamond with great trepidation and tried every possible means to examine it. After a while, they said regretfully, "Mr. Gu, this diamond is indeed a 13-carat, pure natural blue diamond."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!
You should know that in 2016, a 14.62-carat Oppenheimer Blue Diamond was sold at an international auction for 400 million Dragon Dollars.
Although this blue diamond is not as heavy as the Oppenheimer Blue Diamond, its market price is at least 300 million Dragon Country dollars.
Gu Shaoyang's expression turned extremely ugly, and he angrily said, "A bunch of rubbish! Keep checking for me. I don't believe there isn't a fake one."
Ten minutes later, an appraiser announced: "Clover Company, there are 602 diamonds between 10 carats and 20 carats, and 98 diamonds over 20 carats.
Among them is a 13-carat blue diamond and three 12-carat pink diamonds.”
He reported all the inspection results in detail. Although they also wanted to find out a few fakes, this batch of diamonds was so impeccable that they could not find any problems no matter how hard they tried.
The onlookers were shocked. They originally came to see a joke, but it turned out that the young master of the Gu family was slapped in the face one after another.
"Why do I feel like something's wrong? How could Clover, with such a strong foundation, use fake diamonds to deceive people?"
"Yeah, there are a lot of bad reviews online, but I've had good shopping experiences at Clover before. The prices are fair and the products are genuine."
"I feel like this might be a conspiracy against Clover. After all, facts speak louder than words."
For a time, public opinion gradually shifted towards Clover Company, and the chaotic comment section gradually returned to normal.
Long Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, it seems you've lost another round. Please be prepared to fulfill your promise and send me the store transfer agreement. Oh, and by the way, there's an extra 100 million yuan added to the bet, give it to me as well."
Gu Shaoyang's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Who would have thought that Clover Company had such a background, which could be compared with large multinational jewelry companies.
He said angrily, "Who said I lost? This is just a diamond competition, just the tip of the iceberg of my Gu's jewelry. Now it's the turn of the jewelry competition!"
Long Yi jokingly said, "Master Gu, your only stubbornness is your words. I'll meet your condition and see what excuses you can come up with later."
Gu Shaoyang's face was gloomy and uncertain. Now he could only take out his father's collection. This time, Long Yi had no chance of winning no matter what.
"Go get what's left in the truck and open the eyes of this ignorant kid!"
The Gu family's men happily moved several glass cabinets out from under the truck, which contained various expensive jewels.
Gu Shaoyang opened the glass cabinet and took out a hexagonal emerald. He said proudly, "Boy, let me show you this Tailingji emerald. My father bought it for 800 million Dragon National Currency five years ago."
This 141-carat emerald jadeite is exquisitely carved with clusters of flowers, and the ruler's name and inscriptions are engraved on the bottom. It is a product of the Western Region nobility in the 17th century.
