Driving away from Poolon is about 50 kilometers to the Cape of Good Hope, less than an hour. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Cape of Good Hope means "Cape of Good Hope", but it is a stormy place in all seasons, and there is not much stability when the waves are rough, so its original name seems to be more accurate --- "Cape Storm".

In 1939, it became a nature reserve, and several cars where Zhang Nan was needed to check in to enter, and then it felt like it was on the loess slopes of Xiqin, and several Land Rovers kicked up clouds of dust all the way!

The yellow earth and the Cape of Good Hope, these two place names that are 108,000 miles apart are just one piece.

The bushes on both sides of the road were deserted, and Zhang Nan even saw one or two antelopes scurrying out of the rocky slopes on the side of the road and disappearing into the nearby rock piles in the blink of an eye.

Or those ostriches who don't know whether they are wild or free-range are honest, just intently gnawing on the turf on the side.

As soon as I arrived at the place, I felt that it was too simple to be a scenic spot here, and a simple long wooden sign beckoned tourists to take photos: the left side was in English, and the right side was in Afrikaans, respectively marked "Cape of Good Hope, the southwesternmost point of the African continent", and the longitude and latitude of the Cape of Good Hope were also indicated in the middle: 34 degrees 21 minutes 25 seconds south latitude, 18 degrees 28 minutes 26 seconds east longitude.

Blown by the wind, the temperature here is a little lower than in Cape Town!

It's a bit cold.

Zhang Nan looked at the Atlantic Ocean in the distance, but in the distance on his left hand, it was the Indian Ocean.

Unconsciously said: "Hundreds of years ago, those explorers of the West hoped that this waterway would lead to the rich East, and called this place the Cape of Hope. Many people think that this is the southernmost point of the African continent, but in fact, Cape Agulhas, 150 kilometers away, is the southernmost point of Africa......"

Talking to oneself, as if talking to someone who doesn't exist.

It's too easy to forget the distress of reality, and this self-talk goes far away with the sea breeze.

When Zhang Nan was in a daze, no one would bother him, let alone Guan Xingquan, who was at the downwind outlet, heard Zhang Nan's self-talk clearly, and knew that he must be a demon barrier again - don't bother him at this time, otherwise this kid is easy to turn his face and lose control!

Zhang Nan is a good person to the people around him, except for one circumstance: when he is in a daze!

And as long as he mentions this daughter who doesn't exist at all, there will always be a day or two when he will have a nervous break, which Guan Xingquan summed up.

Zhang Nan's magic barrier, Guan Xingquan stretched out his hand and made a hidden gesture, and the 9 bodyguards immediately knew it in their hearts - the meaning of Guan Boss's gesture was very clear: At this time, no one must disturb the boss to see the scenery!

And this is an irresistible order!

can't be disturbed, Guan Xingquan already felt that Ah Nan had a mental problem, but when he mentioned it once, Zhang Nan smiled and didn't answer, which made you embarrassed to ask more.

Last time, Guan Xingquan wanted to invite the best psychiatrist in the United States to show Zhang Nan, but he first asked Nicole and Jenny for their opinions in private, and Nicole said: "Brother Guan, Alan just misses his daughter." You don't have to worry, as long as Jenny and I have a daughter for him, the intermittent mental swings caused by this missing loved ones will return to normal, and I have consulted a specialist. ”

Well, the problem is even bigger!

Nicole and Jenny don't know, but Guan Xingquan knows - where will this Anan's daughter come from?!

If it weren't for the plane crash last time, Guan Xingquan would have wanted to go to his hometown to find a few high-ranking people to exorcise evil spirits for Zhang Nan.

Guan Xingquan walked over to Brown and Xiang Zhangsheng, who were chatting, and said softly, "Let's go farther away and let Anan stay alone." ”

The two appraisers looked at the boss's back, shrugged their shoulders, and ran to take pictures.

It's a bit of a monster, the whole world is only the slightly violent sea breeze in winter, the rough ocean and the headland, so that I ignore everyone nearby.

Holding his right hand in a weak position, he was talking to himself in his mouth, as if his daughter was beside him, and the father and daughter arrived at a new attraction, and the daughter looked at herself with a look of adoration on the side, listening to herself talk about all kinds of knowledge.

"Dad, you're so good, you know everything!"

"That's it, your father and I know half in heaven, and all on earth know..."

Blow, blow to death!

Suddenly, his clenched hand tightened and he woke up.

I feel a little crazy because I have no place to vent my irritability!

And the roar in my head is getting louder and louder, and there is a breath in my chest that seems to be unable to come out, which makes people go crazy!

I couldn't help but yell at the rolling ocean in the distance, almost hysterical.

shouted for dozens of seconds, which was cool for the time being.

When I turned around, I found that a group of bodyguards were like door gods, guarding the passage leading to the signs, and the sea breeze blew the corners of everyone's suits.

There is a fan!

Not only has a model, but also has a deterrent effect!

There are many tourists nearby: I am standing in front of the billboard, and I guess I have been standing stupidly for several minutes, and no one has rushed over.

I can't get over if I want to!

Because Guan Xingquan took off his sunglasses and stood on the path leading to the billboard, with a posture of idlers avoiding - a few of them had eyes that were not covered, and those tourists were standing upside down as long as they were targeted!

No one wants to be bored.

And the two big guys, Alyosha and Randy, unbuttoned their suits, and the holsters of their guns could be seen in the sea breeze - even if some of the tourists were bad-tempered, it was better not to provoke the group.

This situation is not good, Zhang Nan smiled and asked the nearest bodyguards: "Don't you take a few photos?"

Guan Xingquan shook his head, "Come back, Anan, it's raining." ”

Big brother's words, this heart is warm, this is probably only Guan Xingquan can guess the pain in his heart.

Escorted by a group of bodyguards, Zhang Nan passed by the group of waiting tourists.

Suddenly, he seemed to see a familiar face in the crowd, and his steps slowed down, and now it was clear that it was a familiar face before Zhang Chongsheng, but it was impossible for the other party to know him.

Unlike most tourists who subconsciously dodge the eyes of their bodyguards, the other party was looking at him, Zhang Nan smiled apologetically at the man, and then sped up to leave.

If it weren't for this environment, I would have been a little interested in chatting with the other party, but forget it now: the environment is not suitable, and I am not in the mood.

......

On the way back, Zhang Nan didn't say a word, and Brown in the car didn't speak, and the atmosphere was depressing.

When I returned to the hotel, it was getting dark.

At half past seven in the evening, the Basten and two other businessmen arrived at Zhang Nan's suite in the hotel under the protection of several bodyguards.

As luck would have it, I finally got a rough diamond that could be cut into a 30-carat cushion-shaped diamond, and a blue diamond that could be finished over 5 carats.

Together with more than 20 rough diamonds of different sizes and loose diamonds, Zhang Nan paid a total of 4.5 million US dollars.

Seeing off the two satisfied diamond dealers, Basten finally took out the huge diamond in his bag.

"599 carats, pale rose, $10 million. ”

Basten said very simply, he is only a middleman, and he will not achieve this price.

A crystal clear rough diamond appeared in front of Zhang Nan's eyes, shining with a special light under the light. This crystal clear is Zhang Nan's only feeling, and he really can't see the good or bad, and he doesn't know how to identify hair diamonds.

Handed it over to Brown and Xiang Zhangsheng, which required the two of them to test together.

The light was 5600K, and it took half an hour for the two to finish viewing.

Except for the "Aurora", Brown has not personally examined a rough diamond of more than 500 carats for so many years, and he is very serious.

Not to mention Xiang Zhangsheng, outside of "Aurora", he had never personally inspected more than 80 carats of rough diamonds before: the largest rough diamond in the diamond mine he worked in before was only 75 carats!

The quality of the rough diamonds was very good, but that wasn't the end of the process, as both appraisers took out a few pieces of white paper and pencil and began to sketch.

For another seven or eight minutes, it was quiet in the living room, and no one spoke.

Basten was waiting, while Zhang Nan was looking at the few loose diamonds he had just bought, and the two ends were wasting time.

By the time Brown had finished, the figures on the two sheets were very similar, almost the same: a very rare style, not square, not flat, almost round.

Although it is rare, imagine what the finished product will look like, and it is estimated that it will be very bright.

"Boss, this is the approximate shape of this diamond after avoiding all imperfections, if it is cut like this, the diamond will maintain about 45 percent of its weight, and the clarity will almost reach FL. ”

That's about 270 carats.

Brown said what the two had in common, and as for the color, I won't say anything: pale rose, no standard, it will be beautiful anyway.

After listening to this, Zhang Nan smiled and said to Basten: "Cash or transfer?"

It's not a problem to ask for cash, just a phone call, Citibank's cash truck can be delivered in the middle of the night!

After Basten left, looking at the huge diamond on the table, Zhang Nan said to Brown: "This Basten's friend, or the person behind his friend, is a De Beers person, and he is also a very energetic type, you have to be on guard in the future." ”

Brown looked serious and nodded: the boss doesn't talk nonsense, there must be a reason for him.

Why De Beers?

Because Zhang Nan knew that this was a rough drill from the Premir pipe, which was the largest mine controlled by De Beers in South Africa!

He was not familiar with the rough diamond, but when the two sketches came out, Zhang Nan knew that this diamond was very famous before his rebirth, and it was called the "diamond of the century".

In 1988, a 599-carat gem-quality diamond was discovered in the Premir pipe, which was named "100 years".

It took three years by a senior professional cutter to create a 273.85-carat diamond, named the "Century" diamond.

The diamond looks very strange, it is easy to remember, and you will not forget it after looking at it once, there are more than 270 facets in total.

"I'll go back and follow your design and see how you can cut it.

Well, it's just enough to be a side drill on a scepter. ”

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Brown wanted to hit his head with the huge diamond on the table!
