Chapter 419: 419 Diamonds under 5 carats are considered melee diamonds

Fang Jueyu got back to the hotel they had reserved just as the others were finishing packing and heading to the restaurant. He had been gone and back in just ten minutes.

“No way, so fast?” Shao Zhou remembered their flight across that region to this city had taken about twenty minutes. How fast was Fang Jueyu’s aircraft that looked like a sports car?

“Shut up, a man can’t say fast!” Fang Jueyu casually joked, “My vehicle isn’t ordinary, even intercontinental missiles can’t compare to its speed.”

“Alright, alright, we get it, you’re amazing, big inventor,” Jiang Yi said, sounding impatient, but her eyes scanned him up and down, clearly checking if he was hurt.

“Did you really persuade them to stop?” Zhang Meng asked in surprise.

While they were packing, they heard a series of intense explosions and worried about Fang Jueyu, but the sounds had stopped a while ago. It seemed like the fighting had ceased.

“I told you, it was just a small issue. We couldn’t let a meaningless war ruin our good mood,” Fang Jueyu laughed, “If they don’t listen, just give them a beating.”

“You didn’t just have a brawl with them, did you?” Wang Chao boldly guessed because Fang Jueyu still smelled faintly of gunpowder.

“About that, I blew up half their planes, tanks, and armored vehicles. Before I finished, they begged me to stop, and then both sides called a ceasefire!”

“You’re awesome!” Shao Zhou gave a thumbs-up, “I heard the Federation recently tried to mediate peace between these three countries, but they were sent back. Who knew you would solve it.”

“I just couldn’t stand it,” Fang Jueyu explained, “Though those mines are on African land, my ancestors signed an agreement with all African countries ages ago. No matter where the minerals are mined, our family owns them.”

“So, think about it, it was just like two departments in my company fighting. No matter how fierce, they still have to listen to the boss, right?” Fang Jueyu used a vivid metaphor.

“What kind of crazy agreement is that? And they actually agreed to it?”

“I’m not entirely clear on the details, but it’s been around for hundreds of years.”

“Damn, being your friend is a constant shock. If your heart’s not strong, you might not handle it!”

“Then I suggest you carry heart medication. Otherwise, when I take you to see that diamond mine later, you might all come back trembling.”

“We could, but it’s not necessary!”

“I think it’s a go!”

…

Although Banama wasn’t a particularly wealthy country, since it was Fang Jueyu’s trip, everything was well-prepared. They enjoyed a lavish meal at the hotel and then set off for the diamond mine.

This diamond mine ranked among Africa’s top three diamond pits. It resembled a colossal meteor crater, having indeed formed from a meteor impact over thirty million years ago.

The high temperature and pressure from the meteor impact compressed carbon in the crust, forming a vast quantity of diamonds.

This meteorite crater measured over 1,000 meters in diameter and about 420 meters deep, making it the world’s third-largest open-pit diamond mine.

“My goodness, who would have thought I’d actually see a diamond mine in my lifetime.” From afar, they gazed at this awe-inspiring massive mining site, bustling with numerous workers and large machines operating, creating quite a busy scene.

A middle-aged Black man in a suit stood at the mine entrance, waiting for them. Fang Jueyu noticed his suit sleeves bore his family’s crest. As their helicopter landed, he greeted them with a smile.

“Young master, this is Mr. Monchi Marquis, the owner of the Celez Mine Development Company. He is also a direct member of the Marquis family,” Zhuang Ying introduced.

“Hello, Mr. Monchi, thank you for showing me and my classmates around today.”

“Young master, it’s no trouble at all. Serving you is my honor,” Monchi smiled, “Please wear safety helmets. This is a mining area, so there’s some risk involved, just as a precaution.”

“Sure.” Although Fang Jueyu wasn’t afraid of any accidents, he didn’t need to stand out excessively.

“Let me introduce the basics of this diamond mine,” Monchi said as they walked, “This mine ranks third in Africa and seventh in the world. It has a total diamond reserve of several trillion carats, or tens of millions of tons. Its total value exceeds 100 billion British Pounds, which is close to 100 billion Huaxia currency.”

“Hiss! 100 billion pounds!” Everyone gasped, as such astronomical figures naturally shocked them.

But Fang Jueyu was long numb to these hundreds of billions. The fighter jets and armored vehicles he destroyed today were also worth billions of dollars.

“Most diamonds mined here are sold. Those under 5 carats don’t have much collector value, while those over 5 carats are stored in a warehouse for sale to prominent figures.”

“Under 5-carat diamonds…” Hearing this, Fang Jueyu couldn’t help but twitch his mouth; he truly wasn’t trying to be showy.

There was once a Huaxia actress who claimed diamonds under 1 carat were worthless, lacking collector value. This statement was ridiculed online and became a meme.

Unexpectedly, at Fang Jueyu’s mine, the standard had quintupled!

Women are undoubtedly passionate about diamonds, and Jiang Yi and the others were no exception. According to market prices, diamonds over 1 carat, depending on color and cut, ranged from 20,000 to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Huaxia currency.

They couldn’t imagine the worth of a 5-carat diamond; it might be millions. Yet they called million-dollar diamonds “scraps”? Was this the worldview of the rich?

They realized it, this was the legendary incompatible worldviews!

“As for those over 30 carats, they’re processed with top craftsmanship and stored in the mine’s museum. These aren’t for sale, prepared for the young master’s use. Since the mine’s official opening in 1975, and after what the young master has used, there are 131 over-30-carat top-class diamonds.”

“Can we see them?” Honestly, the girls weren’t interested in the diamond mine, as all they could see were rocks and piles of sand with no trace of diamonds.

But when they heard there was a diamond museum, their eyes lit up immediately!
