Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

Page 336

Li Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at him and said: "It's not good for you to be like this. It's their business to do what others do, but it's short for eating people and short for taking people..."

"How about this, don't you have an emerald in your hand, and give it to him this time, what do you think?"

Zhao An was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this for you?"

"Oh my husband!"

Li Zhiyuan said: "Although I like it, I don't really like it that much. Whether it's red and blue treasures or emeralds, in fact, I just look at them.

I'm not very keen on it... Since this gem is extremely precious, it is well deserved to give it to someone like Harman who really likes it. "

Zhao An laughed again and said, "You don't know what a person you really like is, what does Haman use these gems for!"

"doing what?"

Li Zhiyuan asked puzzledly.

Zhao An: "The last time I went to his house, I saw countless red sapphires, malachite, amber stones, etc. in his house. Guess what he used them for?"

Li Zhiyuan didn't speak, just looked at him quietly and said.

Zhao An: "He inlaid these gems on tables, stools, beds, and even carpets..."

This time Li Zhiyuan was also shocked, and murmured: "It's so inhuman..."

Then he turned around and said, "But you just need to give it away, and don't care what they use it for. It's like the other party gave you the Tranquility, but it's the same for you to use it for fishing!"

Zhao An said helplessly: "Okay, listen to you, for the friendship between China and Saudi Arabia..."

Chapter 618

The next morning, Zhao An packed his bags, and Li Zhiyuan drove him to Jiangcheng Tianhe Airport.

"Compared to sitting in the back row, I still enjoy the feeling of sitting in the co-pilot..."

On the way to the airport, Zhao An leaned on the back of the seat and said with a smile.

While holding the steering wheel tightly, Li Zhiyuan said angrily: "I'm afraid this is caused by the machismo in your heart. Who do you look down on? My driving skills are first-rate, okay..."

Zhao An raised his eyebrows and said, "You have misunderstood me. I have never questioned your driving skills."

"Because you, like me, are skilled old drivers..."

Li Zhiyuan spat lightly and said: "Bah, you are a skilled old driver and old pervert!"

Some witty jokes dispelled the melancholy of separation.

Zhao An's extraordinary ability and the nature of his salary make him destined to fly all over the world. He also likes and enjoys the fun brought by treasure hunting, but Li Zhiyuan is still full of reluctance to part with each short separation.

This was mainly due to the sentimentality brought about by her pregnancy, and Zhao An could understand it, and cooperated to ease the atmosphere.

Li Zhiyuan didn't look sideways and said: "Go over there and pay attention to safety, don't act like you have nothing to do..."

"I know!"

Zhao An smiled slightly and said, "I'll be back as soon as I'm done!"

After a 12-hour flight, Zhiyuan landed at Riyadh International Airport.

When Zhao An came out of the special passageway, he was confronted by the driver Harman sent to meet him. He said in his unproficient Chinese: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Harman has something to do at the moment. I will be in charge of your itinerary this time."

Zhao An smiled and said, "I am interested, thank you!"

Still in the golden Rolls-Royce, Zhao An sat in the spacious back row and came to Haman's luxurious manor again after another hour of driving.

"Oh, my dear friend, I'm sorry I didn't meet you at the airport in person, how are you doing?"

Haman was still so enthusiastic, and when he saw Zhao An, he gave him a big hug.

Zhao An responded with a smile: "Thanks to you, everything is fine, but I am a little sorry for being entangled in mundane affairs and not coming to visit old friends."

Haman took his right arm instead, and led Zhao An to the manor, saying: "It doesn't matter, our friendship will not become estranged because of the barrier of time and space,

What's more, I can often see your news on the news, such as your wealth growth, such as your enthusiasm and practice of charity..."

Haman's manor has not changed much, except that there are more attendants, and there are more gems for decoration, it still looks proud.

Zhao Andao: "Compared with the mundane things you just said, I actually yearn for the truth more."

In fact, this sentence is just the opposite, just to cater to this occasion.

But Haman was very happy when he heard this, as if he had found a common pursuit with Zhao An, he invited Zhao An to sit down in the living room, and arranged for the waiter to bring various fruits and snacks.

Zhao An also sent the prepared rough emeralds in a timely manner.

Haman's eyes were immediately attracted by this gem, and he kept muttering, "This... this... this gem, is it really for me, my dear friend?"

Zhao An said indifferently: "It's just an uncut stone. I just picked this one up in the jungle in Brazil. Please don't mind, Your Excellency Haman."

Having said that, this gem was indeed 'picked up' by Zhao An, but Harman didn't think so.

He is keen on collecting gemstones. Even if this emerald gemstone has not been cut, he can clearly see the quality of the gemstone.

"It is very pretty, indeed, my friend,"

"Honestly, I've dreamed of owning a gem like this, it's so big, so beautiful, so intoxicating..."

Zhao An echoed: "That's true, as long as Your Excellency Haman likes it."

Haman hurriedly said: "No, no, how could I not like it? Look at its color, which is the same as the color of our Saudi flag.

And it's so moist, so crystal clear. "

"Oh my friend, I truly cannot express my praises in words,

Thank you, thank you for giving me such a nice gift, I like it very much. "

The national flag of Saudi Arabia is a whole piece of green. Green symbolizes peace and is the most sacred color in their religion. In fact, for a country established in the desert, green things can really arouse their love for the country. The reverence of life.

Moreover, the quality and quality of this emerald can also be praised by Harman.

Zhao An shook his head slightly and said, "There is no need to praise or thank you. This is the testimony and symbol of our friendship."

The two flattered each other for a while before Zhao An revealed his purpose for coming here:

I hope Harman can come forward and help him buy a diamond cutting machine from a manufacturer in Tel Aviv, Israel, and help him transport it back to China.

Haman wondered: "Oh, friend Zhao, why don't you go to Tel Aviv to order it yourself? With your strength and wealth, they should welcome you to purchase it..."

Zhao An told Harman again about his quarrel with the Antwerp Diamond Guild and the matter of being targeted by the Diamond Guild.

Haman frowned and said: "So there is still this relationship, my friend, don't worry, this matter is on me,

I will personally go to Tel Aviv, purchase machinery for you according to your requirements, and send them to your country..."

"Although those Jews are not very easy to deal with..."

Zhao Andao: "Thank you so much. With this batch of machines, I will be able to overwhelm the diamond guild in diamond sales, and finally completely break their monopoly on the diamond business."

Haman disagreed: "Friend Zhao's road, I'm afraid it's not so easy to walk..."

"Well, does Mr. Harman have a different opinion?"

Zhao An said suspiciously.

Harman looked up at him and said, "As far as I know, after the Debes Company discovered a super-large diamond crater in South Africa decades ago,

They just understood that diamonds...maybe not as rare as they thought. "

"So there was a monopoly where they closed the mines, restricted the extraction and sale of diamonds ... and they had that monopoly for decades."

Zhao Andao: "I know all these things, but I have decided to do this, and I will continue to do it without hesitation..."

Although there are thousands of people, I will go! ! !

Chapter 619 Double Standards

"No, friend Zhao, listen to me first!"

Harman's eyes revealed shrewdness and wisdom: "You must know what happened after that. People also realized that diamonds are not so rare.

Then they set up the diamond guild, and through advertising, they bound diamonds and such illusory things as love. "

Zhao Jing listened quietly to see what different flowers he could name.

Harman continued: "Until synthetic diamonds came along, they started saying that synthetic diamonds were not as good cut as natural diamonds,

Then artificial diamonds can be cut to compare with natural diamonds,

They also say that artificial diamonds are not as fluorescent as natural diamonds..."

Zhao An seemed to understand a little bit, and took over Haman's topic and said: "Later, artificial diamonds can also have the light transmission of natural diamonds, and they said that natural ones with flaws are the best... "

Haman praised: "You seem to really understand what I mean."

Zhao An nodded with a smile: "This is not new. The Diamond Guild is actually the same as most capitalists and capital enterprises in the West."

"Anything that is good for them is a set of standards, and anything that is bad for them is another set of standards."

"And when there is no standard, they will always create a set of their own set of standards..."

After all, they are the ones who have the final say, and they are the ones who occupy a favorable position.

"Yeah, that's what the Western world does to maintain their double standards in everything!"

Harman shook his head and sighed: "Actually, we in the Middle East have always hated this set of standards, but there is no way. The reality is more difficult than we imagined.

So the only choice we have is to join if we can't beat it, to join forces..."

Now the world is also clear that the Western European and American worlds practice double standards, and they will often get a large number of media to co-operate and exaggerate certain things in order to create momentum and distort certain things.

They know the truth that three people become tigers... and they can skillfully play with the world and manipulate their chess pieces.

But Zhao An is not afraid of this, since he has made the decision, he must have the ability to turn the table.

He said: "Your Excellency Harman, please rest assured that I have enough confidence and strength to deal with the challenges from the other party, and they are challenges to me.

I am not a challenge to them..."

Haman laughed and said, "That's right, with the speed of friend Zhao's rise and the strength and achievements he has achieved, I am very optimistic about the day when you defeat the Diamond Guild and achieve your goal."

Bypassing this topic, Zhao An asked again: "Your Excellency Haman, do the nobles in your country love emeralds as much as you do?"

Speaking of this, Harman came to the spirit again: "Oh, no, not only emeralds, but other gems with rare attributes, .

Just like your rubies, sapphires, amber stones, and even emeralds from Myanmar...

These high value gemstones are very popular here. "

Maybe they don't really like gems, they just like to show off their rarity and precious attributes to show their status.

Zhao An's heart moved, and he said, "Why don't I send the company's employees to open a shop here to serve the wealthy people in the Middle East, and I can also customize exclusive gemstone jewelry for them."

"And I also have a lot of gold mines under my banner, which can produce a lot of gold..."

Harman raised his eyes and said, "It is totally feasible to open a store, but I don't recommend you open it in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at least not for your first Middle Eastern store."

Zhao An asked sincerely: "Then what is your suggestion, Your Majesty Harman? Where is the right place to drive?"

Harman said: "I think it is more appropriate to open in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. You know, it is a paradise for shopping and consumption, where the world's top rich people gather.

If your store is opened there, the effect will be much better, even better than Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Then you consider expanding to the entire Middle Eastern world..."

This is an old-fashioned statement. The rich people who live or come to Dubai are really exaggerated. This city basically serves the rich people from all over the world.

From all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the entire city revolves around the rich, which perfectly explains what it means to be rich and really be able to do whatever you want.

The point is that they don't really like to bargain when they buy things...

Zhao Andao: "Your Majesty Harman really awakened the dreamer with one word. Okay, I have decided. After I go back, I will send people to Dubai to investigate, and then start a gem shop that specializes in serving rich people from all over the world."

The two chatted very happily and enjoyed each other's compliments and remarks.

After enjoying a sumptuous banquet with Haman, Zhao An politely declined Haman's stay, took the golden Rolls Royce again, and returned to Riyadh Airport.

Who knew that while waiting to take off at the airport, I ran into an acquaintance again,

It was none other than Li Zhiyuan's best friend, the person Zhao An least wanted to see -- Lin Wanxiao.

At that time, Zhao An was playing with his mobile phone in the VIP waiting room, but Lin Wan laughed and said, "Hey!" He was so shocked that he almost dropped his mobile phone on the ground.

"I didn't expect to meet you again, just in time, please help me..."
