Chapter 385 Diamonds
"Diamond?" Luo Ji laughed when he heard the word. He didn't have too many surprises, and he didn't have too many surprises. He just smiled.
And standing below, Li Ke, who didn't think much about it, told the story of Li Yuanjie when he first discovered the diamond. Now, Luo Ji couldn't help laughing even happier.
As an ordinary modern person, when hearing the word "diamond", what is the first adjective that comes to mind?
Expensive and valuable, these two adjectives absolutely occupy the vast majority. Based on this, an ordinary person suddenly finds that he has dug a diamond mine. Of course, he will be ecstatic, and he will inevitably make some upstarts. stupid thing.
And through Li Ke's mouth, Luo Ji learned that the stupidest thing Li Yuanjie had done was spread the mined diamonds on the bed, and he was not too embarrassed...
But Li Yuanjie got one thing wrong. Diamonds are a delicate thing. To put it bluntly, Luo Ji said that diamonds are valuable, so they are valuable, but if Luo Ji said that it is just a broken stone that shines , then it can only be a broken stone.
In the early days, diamonds were loved by nobles because of their gorgeous appearance and rare output, and became a symbol of their power, status and wealth.
No one hates beautiful things, and the rarity of production further increases the value of diamonds. After all, many things in this world can be made for their increase the value to a certain extent.
And then how did it become popular in Heaven? To put it bluntly and harshly, it is to worship foreigners...
Of course, it can also be understood as a marketing victory. "Diamonds are forever, a diamond is forever". Many people should have heard of this advertising slogan, right? Even once upon a time, I was brainwashed by this advertisement.
It is precisely because of this marketing that the image of diamonds as precious and timeless has been completely established, and the overwhelming advertising that followed directly tied diamonds with 'love', 'loyalty' and 'marriage'.
When you're proposing to a woman, bringing a "pigeon egg" with you can skyrocket your success rate.
Because for women, a diamond ring can not only satisfy their vanity and enjoy the envious eyes of people around them, but also prove the man's loyalty to her and his love for her. Of course, the bigger the diamond, the better. Big, prove that he loves you more.
The establishment of this concept made China suddenly become the country with the highest demand and sales of diamonds in the world at that time.
But let's take a look at the essence, in fact, the bigger the diamond on it, the only thing that can prove is that the man is richer.
Of course, having money is very important, so in recent years, the diamond market has not been as prosperous as it used to be, because the people of the Celestial Dynasty are now getting married and giving away cars and houses...
Although Li Yuanjie was a bit stupid, after a while, he obviously discovered the essence of the diamonds. After all, in this era, there is no group of profiteers marketing those diamonds.
The group of orcs under his hand looked at it holding a bunch of luminous stones and smirked, the more they looked like a fool, they couldn't even notice, so over time, those diamonds were thrown into the warehouse by Li Yuanjie.
Now Luo Ji asks Li Ke to fetch those diamonds. I have to say that there are quite a few diamonds. It is estimated that Li Yuanjie was very happy when he first discovered them. A lot of effort turned it into a diamond.
However, the craftsmanship is limited in this era, and the diamonds look really rough, but even so, it still emits a brilliant light under the sun.
However, after appreciating this gorgeous piece for a while, Luo Ji casually threw the thumb-sized diamond on the table, which in modern times would make many people go crazy.
The diamond was indeed dazzling. However, after losing that layer of packaging, Luo Ji soon felt a burst of aesthetic fatigue.
Pretend to say that this thing is too superficial, vulgar, and extremely gorgeous in appearance, but it makes people feel nothing. to please him.
Of course, based on the current situation, Luo Ji didn't mind marketing the diamond, so as to achieve his goal of driving the business development of the orc tribe.
"Huh?" Just as he was thinking about it, there was a splendid brilliance in the small basket of diamonds that caught his attention.
Luo Ji reached in and dialed it. Soon, he took a sky-blue blue diamond in his hand, and gestured towards the sun, the blue diamond suddenly exuded brilliant colors.
"This piece is not bad, but it is too big. It is suitable to be set on a crown or a scepter, but if it is used to make jewelry, it feels a bit tacky."
Thinking of this, Luo Ji's mouth curled slightly, and he asked the guard beside him to go outside to pick up a stone and come in. Then, he looked at the blue diamond on the table, and slapped it down with a 'bang'.
The hardness of diamond is indeed the hardest ore in the world, but its toughness is insufficient. In other words, this thing cannot withstand heavy blows, and it is easy to smash with a little strength.
At this point, the blue diamond that was placed in the modern society and ranked among the top in the world in terms of size, was planted on this stone that Luo Ji picked up at random.
After the shooting, Luo Ji threw the stone away, then fiddled with his fingers, and picked out two of the same size, "Not bad, that's all..."
While muttering to himself, Luo Ji quickly took out another piece of paper, and while writing and drawing on it, he asked casually, "He Liang, how was the mining and research of the silver mine discovered two months ago? Like?"
"According to the people below, it is very smooth, Your Majesty."
"Very good." Luo Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the finished design along with the two blue diamonds to a guard beside him.
"The polishing method and style of diamonds are all on this design, go and find the best craftsman in Wanjie Civilization for me, and let him cooperate with silver to make the two blue diamonds into earrings. As for the rest of……"
Having said that, Luo Ji glanced at the pile of 'wrecks' on his desk. A whole blue diamond was broken. The larger ones were placed in modern times, and it was estimated that they could still be photographed. It seems a bit wasteful to give up a sky-high price and abandon it like this.
Luo Ji thought for a while before making a decision, "Let's make the rest into a bracelet."
