Calabi couldn't help but frown after hearing Xiao Feng's quotation. Xiao Feng's asking price was too accurate.

53 million U.S. dollars. If Xiao Feng agrees to it, his profit margin will not be small, but there is always a feeling of unwillingness.

Such a large round diamond would definitely be a treasure to be robbed on the black market. Without a laser mark, those South American drug lords and corrupt politicians would definitely flock to such a diamond.

If he wanted to maximize his profits, Calabi could cut the rough diamond into small pieces of pigeon eggs, and then sell them separately, and each piece could fetch a high price.

"Mr. Xiao, 53 million U.S. dollars is a bit expensive! Can it be cheaper? And it's true that 'Our Light' was sold for 53 million U.S. dollars, but it still had to pay a lot of agency fees and taxes.

, in fact, the actual price is only 43 million US dollars. Considering that your diamond does not have a laser code, I think 43 million US dollars is a suitable price."

This Karabi was so ruthless that he cut off 10 million US dollars as soon as he opened his mouth. Of course Xiao Feng couldn't agree to it.

As for diamonds, even though his piece is over a hundred carats smaller than the piece of 'Our Light', the reason why he dares to charge the same price is because his diamond is a rough diamond without a laser code.

Diamonds with laser codes can often only be traded through formal channels, and more expensive diamonds can only be auctioned. Once they are auctioned, they will face problems such as paying taxes, agency fees, etc.

Moreover, diamonds with laser codes are particularly troublesome to change hands. When the owner is lost, he can often call the police, so that such precious diamonds cannot be traded through formal channels and can only be traded on the black market. The price of diamonds with laser codes on the black market is,

Often there will be a big discount.

Therefore, the price of diamonds with laser codes is often lower than that of rough diamonds without laser codes. This is the main reason why Xiao Feng dared to ask for 53 million US dollars.

And given the size and quality of a diamond like his, if it were put on the black market, it would be sold out in seconds.

And if Karabi cut the price a little less, he would accept it, but this guy actually bargained for ten million dollars as soon as he opened his mouth, which he absolutely couldn't accept.

"Calabi, I think you should know better than me the value of this diamond. My asking price is 53 million, which has left you enough profit margin. If you think it is expensive, then I will lower the price by 1 million to 52 million."

Okay. This is my lowest offer. If you can’t accept it, then I’m going to find someone else.”

Xiao Feng gave the final quotation. In fact, he was not sure whether the diamond was worth the price before, but seeing that Karabi cut it so hard, he was sure that the diamond was definitely worth it.

After Calabi looked at Xiao Feng's expression again, he knew that this time should really be Xiao Feng's final offer. Although this diamond might not fetch such a high price if it were auctioned, on the black market,

Just because there is no such advantage as a laser code, the price of this diamond can increase by 10 million in minutes.

The reason why Xiao Feng didn't sell the diamond on the black market was because he didn't have the resources in this area. Secondly, he didn't want to get into trouble with the underworld, so he sold it to someone like Calabi who wandered in the gray area.

The middleman is the most cost-effective.

52 million U.S. dollars. If I introduce it to the South American drug lords I know, even if the price is increased by 10 million, I guess they will be willing to buy it. If I introduce it to the wealthy Middle Eastern people I know, hehe, maybe I can still sell it.

Higher price.

When he thought of this, Calabi made a decision on the spot: "$52 million, deal!"

The Calabi family has been in the diamond business for hundreds of years, and their wealth is quite deep. They transferred US$52 million to Xiao Feng on the spot, and Xiao Feng deposited the money directly into his account at Citibank.

Before coming to India, he passed through Xiangjiang and opened an account at Citibank there. He also entrusted an intermediary company there to help register a number of investment companies in Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and other places.

Soon the money arrived in the account, and the transaction was completed. Both parties were happy. Karabi also invited Xiao Feng to their family dinner. The hospitality was so great that Xiao Feng could only stay and eat another curry.

Feast.

After completing the transaction, Xiao Feng was relieved. There were still eleven rough diamonds left, but now he didn't dare to sell them.

After all, if so many large pieces of high-quality rough diamonds are traded at once, it will affect the world's diamond prices and provoke those giants to investigate, which will not be worthwhile.

The people at De Beers are very evil and ruthless. Not only do they have underworld resources, they also have a lot of white resources at their disposal. It's better not to provoke them as long as they don't provoke them. Making money in a low-key way is the safest way.

Anyway, he already has 52 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 300 million when converted into RMB, which is enough for him to live happily for a while.

Xiao Feng left Surat the next day. Before leaving, Karabi grabbed his hand enthusiastically and told him that if there are diamonds like this in the future, come to him and he will definitely give him something that will satisfy Xiao Feng.

price.

Xiao Feng nodded in agreement. This line must be kept. The remaining eleven rough diamonds are bigger than each one. If they are taken elsewhere, there is really no large middleman like Calabi.

After returning to Mumbai from Surat, Xiao Feng's nerves finally relaxed. Although he only realized a diamond, it allowed him to complete his transformation from a multi-millionaire to a billionaire. The most important thing is that he opened up another path.

Sales channels.

Now that he is abroad and has made money, it is finally time to relax. Xiao Feng plans to spend a few days in Mumbai. This city is the pride of India. It is currently the most developed city in India, especially in recent years.

As India's economy develops well, the city's hardware facilities have been greatly improved, and the whole city does look a bit like Puhai more than ten years ago.

Xiao Feng hired a driver and walked around the city for a day. He went to a shopping mall in the evening and planned to buy some clothes for himself. However, before he had taken a few steps, he felt a pain in his stomach like a knife. Mad, it was already...

No matter how careful I was, I still got tricked unexpectedly.

Xiao Feng's face changed drastically. Before he came here, he had heard people say that the food in India was extremely unhygienic. Try not to eat street food, even if it is from restaurants. He has always followed this principle and eat less food.

I ate local food and drank bottled water, and I was fine for the first few days.

The food we had at Karabi's house yesterday was pretty good. They have a private chef who pays more attention to hygiene. But this morning, I accidentally ate out and got into trouble.
