Chapter 2250 South Sky Red Jewel
"Hehe!" she said with a smile; "Everyone says you are a smart person, and few people are your opponents. Why don't you guess what's going on?"
Li Erdan pondered for a moment and then looked at the rouge again. Generally speaking, this rouge is made from the juice of flower petals, but this rouge is made from a kind of insect called cochineal, which was found in the desert.
It is a red insect with bright colors. Many cosmetics nowadays contain cochineal ingredients, such as lipstick and rouge.
This box of rouge is also made from cochineal insects, which has an extraordinarily sweet taste and very strong ingredients.
Because the number of this kind of insect is very small, the price can be imagined to be very expensive. But the more important thing is not this.
Li Erdan thought for a while and said: "This cochineal insect should have a symbiotic relationship with a kind of gem. Could it be that you want to tell me that this kind of gem is related?"
Cui Yunxiu smiled and said: "Very smart, this is a gem called Nantianhong."
"Oh, Nantianhong is a kind of gemstone, but its value is not very high. It can't be compared with ordinary jewelry. Its value is slightly higher than crystal, but it can't be compared with emerald, diamond and the like. Other gemstones are also higher than it.
More noble."
"Nantian red is different. In fact, this kind of Nantian red is not the real Nantian red we are talking about, but we don't know it and made a mistake. Its scientific name is red silicate. So far, it is the only one in the world.
We found 25 small crystals and a double-sided stone, the price of which can reach 300,000 US dollars per carat."
Li Erdan frowned and said, "It's such an expensive treasure. I've always been focusing on jade, but I didn't notice this!"
"Because there is only this little bit, it will be gone once it is used up. So the gemstone industry has basically reached a consensus that it will not be developed. Because the quantity is small, most people will not make money. And this kind of Nantian Red has a kind of cat in it.
The characteristic of children's eyes is that there is a vertical stripe in the middle. Under the sunlight, it has a very beautiful refracted light. Looking at it from different angles, the face looks beautiful.
The color is also different. Originally, because of the small quantity, jewelry companies were reluctant to use it to make jewelry. After all, there was no follow-up development. However, a princess from a European royal family recently got married, and the tiara at her wedding was made of this kind of nandian.
It was made of red. It was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes away at that time. So the price of that kind of ore also increased from 300,000 to 1 million!"
"That's right, there are very few already. Now that so much is wasted, it is not getting less and less. So it is very beautiful, so people are jealous, right? The price of Nantianhong has gone up?"
"Yes, what was found next to this box of jewelry is the highest Nantian Red in the world so far. It has been in this person's hands for twenty years. At that time, I thought it was just a red ore and not worth much, but now
He knows less and less. The value of the ore in his hand has increased."
Li Erdan said: "Then what the other party means by telling you this is..."
"He now regards the red stone as a thank you gift for surviving. As long as you help, he will give you this gem."
"So that's it." Li Erdan nodded and said nothing.
This made Cui Yunxiu very strange: "If it were anyone else, he would definitely be very excited, but you reacted like this, why? You are not happy to have so much money all of a sudden, is it a bit too pretentious?
"
Li Erdan said: "Do you think being rich is a good thing?"
"Isn't that a good thing? Let me do the math for you. A ten-carat gem will cost ten million, and a one-hundred-carat gem will cost one hundred million! What a good thing! You are just protecting his safety!
You actually didn’t agree.”
Li Erdan smiled and said: "Tell me what kind of person you are, and what have you done to make you willing to give up hundreds of millions of gems just to survive? It can be seen that what you have done is very excessive, and you are eager to think about it."
You have to take out the treasure if you want to survive. I'm afraid I can't help."
Naturally, when you take someone else's money, you want to help them out of trouble. This gift is not so easy to accept.
Cui Yunxiu nodded; "You are right, it makes sense. But 100 million is not something that anyone can give up. Although it is difficult to do, it is not completely impossible. Why not give it a try? At least you can see what it is like.
What's the matter? I'll ask you clearly. It's not too late for you to refuse. If you're worried, if you find someone else in the future, you'll just watch the opportunity to make money disappear. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Li Erdan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can arrange for us to meet, but make sure you agree beforehand. Don't agree for me. I may refuse directly."
"Okay, I'll bring the person back right away."
"What did you say?" Li Erdan was very surprised: "You brought someone here right now?"
"Yes! She came with me, but because I was worried that you wouldn't like it, I had to ask her to wait outside. Now that I have the chance, I will definitely let her tell everything, and you have to do the same.
Think about it, help someone, you will never regret it." After she finished speaking, she ran out quickly regardless of Li Erdan's expression.
Li Erdan shook his head. This woman is really careless in what she does. She dared to rob jewelry at a banquet, regardless of whether it would succeed or not. She was very courageous. She didn't know who gave it to her with such an impulsive personality.
.
Probably because after both parents died, there was no one to discipline me!
At this time, a woman had already followed her in. When Li Erdan saw the woman, he was a little dazed and stood up directly.
"Hello!"
The woman nodded: "Hello, I am Yunhe."
This woman is very beautiful, but Li Erdan has actually seen a lot of beautiful women, so she is not so shocked. Instead, there is a mark on this woman's face, which extends from her forehead to her right cheek, and finally to her chin.
There were red traces like silk threads on the position. Although it was very strange, it did not make her beauty disappear at all, and it also added a touch of seductiveness. Her eyes moved like a little fox, looking towards Li Erdan.
Blinking his eyes gave him a heart-thumping feeling.
The woman probably knew that Li Erdan was frightened, so she explained with a smile: "This is a birthmark on my face. It is present after birth. Normally it is not visible, but after drinking red wine, or...
You can tell after taking a shower because I was anxious to come out. I just took a shower, so the marks on my face have not disappeared, so I came out anxiously, which probably scared you."
Li Erdan said: "It's nothing, I just saw it for the first time and it was a bit novel."
