Chapter 260 Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows
Yang Jing and the princess left Fang Ru's house at around 9 o'clock in the evening. Fang Ru and his wife sent the couple out of the villa gate. As a result, four foreign bodyguards and the 1969 Dodge Charger Ditona made Liu Zhentao sigh helplessly.
Fang Ru looked at her husband's bad face with the help of the light at the door, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you excited?"
Liu Zhentao nodded with a wry smile, can he not be stimulated? Liu Zhentao dares to bet that all the stimulating things he has lived to this day are probably not as good as the two hours he has just passed.
To be honest, Liu Zhentao did not object to the fact that his niece was in a free relationship. On the contrary, he agreed quite well. After all, before he married Fang Ru, his family conditions could only be said to be average, which made him naturally have a good impression of Yang Jing.
As a result, Liu Zhentao, who was determined to help his niece, found that his nephew didn't seem to need his uncle's help at all!
Two months ago, my mother-in-law celebrated her birthday, but the bracelet of Hotan white jade taken out by my nephew and daughter almost made the family's eyes fall off.
Liu Zhentao has been in jewelry for nearly twenty years, but he has never seen a bracelet made of 1A collection-level Hotan white jade. Usually, this kind of collection-level Hotan white jade, let alone bracelets, it is already very luxurious to see a larger jade tag. As a result, that day his nephew and daughter took out a bracelet!
Liu Zhentao has seen the jade bracelet with green glass in Laokeng, but he has never seen this collection-grade Hetian white jade bracelet with his own eyes. There are some Hetian jade bracelets on the market, but what material is it? What material is the bracelet given to his mother-in-law by his nephew and daughter?
The difference between the two is not something that can be measured by the price!
If the bracelet wasn't for the birthday gift given to my nephew's daughter by her nephew's daughter, Liu Zhentao really wanted to buy it as a treasure in the store.
The set of jade jewelry with green glass on my nephew's nephew's daughter was also given by the young man named Yang Jing, which was enough to shock Liu Zhentao.
As a result, the shock had just passed, and tonight, he caused an earthquake silently.
Now Liu Zhentao's mind is full of the eight gems left by Yang Jing.
Compared to the Hetian jade bracelet, these eight gems directly left Liu Zhentao with nothing to say. Especially the demeanor of Yang Jing when he left the eight gems, Liu Zhentao felt a little ashamed when he remembered it.
Ask yourself, if I had changed myself, I would have never left these eight precious gems, but the young man just smiled and said he would keep it, as if the eight gems were either gems or eight pebbles!
Liu Zhentao felt inferior to this demeanor and mind.
"I said, what's wrong with you? Why don't you say anything when I speak?" Fang Ru poked her husband, who was a little stunned, and asked dissatisfied.
"Ah? Oh...what did you say?" Liu Zhentao shook his head and looked at his wife.
"I said Yang Jing is very good, what do you think?" Fang Ru was obviously not satisfied with her husband's distracted attitude.
"Well, this young man is really good and worthy of our princess. When my brother-in-law comes back tomorrow, I will talk to my brother-in-law alone."
"Of course you have to tell your brother-in-law that if such a good young man is not caught, there will be no such store after passing through this village! I will talk to my mother about my elder sister tomorrow. In the past, my elder sister couldn't see her young man, but now she is not simple. She has built such a huge industry at such a young age. The future of this young man is unlimited."
Liu Zhentao hugged Fang Ru's waist, turned around and walked into the room, and said as he walked, "I don't think the problem is big. My brother-in-law loves Princess the most, and Brother-in-law doesn't like to do that kind of good family. The key point between Princess and Yang Jing is the eldest sister. This requires you and our mother to try harder to persuade him."
Fang Ru said, "You, you can't tell what Yang Jing is here today? They just want to use our mouths to tell my elder sister and my elder brother-in-law about his situation. He can't explain the current situation of this young man Yang Jing, let alone the princess, so we must tell her to my elder sister to be effective. Otherwise, why did Yang Jing tell us so much more?"
After a pause, Fang Ru grinned and said with a tick, "I bought three Picasso sketches in London in September. I bought £2.7 million in one go, and then bought a Patek Philippe World Time watch. After returning to China, I found so many good things, especially those manuscript documents, which are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and I can't buy them even if I have money. Now I went to the United States again, and I made another 400 million or 500 million in a month, and it was still US dollars. I became the major shareholder of Rongbao Mining. I only paid 500 million or 600 million in a year, and it was still US dollars! Tsk tsk, the speed of making money is faster than that of everyone in our family. Such a good guy is really hard to find these days! The most important thing is that they are starting from scratch! According to Yang Jing's development speed, if he is given a few years, his elder sister's Baichuang Investment may not be as good as Yang Jing's industry."
Li Zhentao nodded and said, "Yes, this young man Yang Jing is indeed unexpected. If the princess follows him, it will be a good idea. The most important thing is that I see that Yang Jing is devoted to the princess. The princess just expressed his love for the pink diamond. He just wanted to give it to the princess without even blinking. I am convinced of this pampering..."
Fang Ru gave her husband a blank look and said, "Zhentao, if I said I like pink diamonds, would you find me such a big one to give to me?"
Liu Zhentao said with a bitter face: "Wife, okay, don't we bring this to play? I want to give it to you, but where did you ask me to get such a big pink diamond..."
Fang Ru poked her husband's forehead with anger and pointed at a finger, "Hmph, I knew you could just play tricks! If I asked you for pink diamonds, it would be a bit embarrassing for you... No, I will tell you now that I especially like the two rubies Yang Jing brought. Liu Zhentao, please do whatever you want!"
Liu Zhentao almost cried...
The next day, when Liu Zhentao and Fang Ru brought these eight gems to the headquarters of the "Love Destiny for Life" Jewelry Company and handed the eight gems to Frank Hoffman, the couple once again witnessed the shock brought by the eight gems.
"Oh Maiga!" After seeing these eight gems, Hoffman's eyes were straightened. The most important thing was that Mr. Hoffman, who had been speaking German, actually burst out with a sentence of English.
"Boss, where did you get such a top-notch gem?" Hoffman's eyes were almost penetrated into the eight gems, and he asked the boss this question without twisting his head. The translator next to him quickly translated Hoffman's words.
Hoffmann only speaks German, and he also speaks a little bit of French and Dutch, which he learned when he was in Antwerp, Belgium. The official languages of Belgium are Dutch, French and German, but he never speaks English.
"This is a junior from my country. Frank, how about these eight gems?"
"Great! Very good! Although I have not been certified by professional instruments, with my more than 40 years of experience in my career, I know that any eight gems can cause a sensation when I take out one of them. Oh Maiga! Especially this purple diamond! God, I have never seen such a beautiful purple color, nor have I ever seen such a big purple diamond rough stone!"
Hoffman held the purple diamond rough stone weighing 24 carats in his palm. He continued to look at the lights: "The size of this purple diamond is the only one I have seen in my life, and this is the first time I heard that there are more than 20 carats of purple diamond rough stones. Well, the inner clarity of this purple diamond is quite high, and it is estimated that it can reach the highest level of clarity standard. Moreover, the shape of this purple diamond is particularly suitable for pear-shaped cutting. Boss, give me this diamond, I am sure to retain more than 50% of the rough stones!"
Liu Zhentao said with a smile: "Frank, even if you don't make such a request, I will leave these eight gems to you. Such a great gem, only a cutter like you can afford to use a knife on it."
After listening to the translation, Hoffman laughed, "Thank you very much for your respect. Boss, don't worry, I will definitely make these eight gems appear the most beautiful side. Oh Maiga! How lucky I am to see such a top-quality gem in my lifetime. This is God's greatest praise for me."
Fang Ru smiled and said, "Frank, I hope you can cut this pink diamond rough first."
Upon hearing this, Hoffman picked up the pink diamond rough stone, held it in his palm and observed the light for a while and said, "This is no problem! This pink diamond is also a top-quality one. Whether it is color, internal clarity or size, it is the top-quality one I have seen in my life. Well, the shape of this pink diamond is very suitable for standard round cutting, and I am sure to reach 60% of the retained rough stone ratio. Don't worry, give this pink diamond to me. After a while, I will definitely give you a top-quality pink diamond of more than 20 carats. Well, what you know is the top-quality craftsmanship with eight hearts and eight arrows."
Hoffman's craftsmanship, both Fang Ru and Liu Zhentao, have seen Hoffman's craftsmanship N times. Even the top "Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows" in diamond cutting, have seen Hoffman many times.
"Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows" can be said to be the top level of diamond cutting. Although the EX level is the top level of "perfect" level in the diamond cutting division, 3EX cut refers to cutting, polishing, and symmetry. Therefore, diamonds of the same quality, diamonds with 3EX cuts are much higher than diamonds of other cutting grades. However, the more rare eight-heart eight-arrow cuts are incomparable to 3EX cuts. Diamonds with 8-heart eight-arrow cuts are higher than diamonds with 3EX cuts!
The so-called eight-hearted and eight arrows actually refer to a top-level cutting method, also known as "Cupid Cutting". To put it simply, it is a special optical phenomenon formed by the diamonds that use this cutting method, which can allow the refraction and reflection of light to be reflected. Generally, it is not visible when worn on your hands and needs to be seen under a special diamond cutting mirror. To form a perfect eight-hearted and eight arrows, the diamond cutting ratio requires extremely high symmetry, and only a very small number of master figures can cut out eight-hearted and eight arrows.
But if you want to form eight hearts and eight arrows, it is easy to conflict with the parameter range in the international cutting evaluation system. Therefore, many diamonds with eight hearts and eight arrows often fail to meet the 3EX perfect cutting standard.
In this way, an inexplicable paradox emerges. About half of the cut 3VG (very level) have eight hearts and eight arrows, and about ninety percent of the 3EX cuts have eight hearts and eight arrows.
However, even with such a paradox, many cutting masters will not choose 3EX cuts when choosing, but will choose Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows.
In the eyes of these diamond cutters, 3EX cuts cannot be compared with eight hearts and eight arrows. In the eyes of real cutters, a diamond can cut a perfect eight hearts and eight arrows, which is the top craft.
As a top diamond cutter, Hoffmann would definitely die of shame if he could not cut out such a top diamond rough stone.
Only the cutting of eight hearts and eight arrows can be worthy of such a top-notch diamond rough stone.
