Chapter 320 Great Harvest
An hour passed, and in this diamond mining activity, Ye Bufan did not perform too outstandingly; he only had He Shuangshuang pick out one two-carat rough diamond and one one-carat rough diamond.
Even so, for an ordinary person, it was considered very good luck, and Gangbos also showed great generosity, directly giving both diamonds to He Shuangshuang.
The time was almost up, and Ye Bufan got straight to the point, saying, "Mr. Gangbos, I came this time to purchase some diamonds to take back. I wonder if you have any in stock?"
"Of course, I do. The one thing I'm not short of here is diamonds," Gangbos said. "I've prepared a batch of goods here that I originally intended to sell to America.
However, since we are friends, I will naturally prioritize selling them to Mr. Ye. Let's go take a look at the goods now."
After he finished speaking, he led the way, guiding Ye Bufan and the others into the small building.
The second and third floors of this building were where the security guards and workers lived, the first floor was the reception hall, and Gangbos directly led them into the basement.
After passing through three large iron doors, they arrived at a room about twenty square meters. This was a specially constructed treasure vault, with extremely sturdy reinforced concrete construction all around.
In the center of the room were nine tables, and on each table was a steel tray filled with rough diamonds that had been mined.
It was clear that these rough diamonds had been carefully selected. The first tray contained mostly small diamonds under one carat, while the second tray had larger ones, ranging from one to two carats.
Following this pattern, the last tray contained enormous nine-carat rough diamonds.
However, these diamonds had not been polished or processed, so they did not look very dazzling.
Gangbos picked up a handful of diamonds and then let them fall back into the tray, making a clanging sound.
"Mr. Ye, these are all high-quality diamonds. Each tray contains 10,000 carats."
Ye Bufan scanned them with his Divine Sense. Regardless of their size, every single one of these rough diamonds contained Spiritual Qi, so they were indeed not fakes.
He asked, "Mr. Gangbos, how do you sell these diamonds?"
Henry said, "Uncle Gangbos, Mr. Ye is a friend of our Andrew family. You must give him a discount."
"Don't worry, I am always very generous to my friends."
Gangbos revealed a fox-like smile and then said, "These rough diamonds under one carat are priced at 1 million usd, the two-carat rough diamonds are 2 million usd, and so on, up to the nine-carat rough diamonds which are 9 million usd.
Henry frowned, clearly not satisfied with the price.
Although Gangbos's selling price was not higher than the market price, it was also not as discounted as he claimed; it was just a normal price.
Ye Bufan did not pay much attention to it, because the selling price of these diamonds was much lower than in China, and bringing them back from here would certainly give them a significant price advantage.
However, he did not state his position directly. After all, doing business always involves bargaining. He said, "Mr. Gangbos, isn't this price a bit high? Can you give a further discount?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Ye, this price is already very favorable; it cannot go any lower."
At this point, Gangbos changed the subject, "However, if Mr. Ye thinks the price is too high, I do have an idea. How about we make a bet?"
Ye Bufan's eyebrow twitched, and he asked, "A bet? How does Mr. Gangbos want to bet?"
Gangbos said, "Since you're here at my place, it's naturally a diamond bet. The method is simple: it's still limited to one hour.
If Mr. Ye can find a ten-carat diamond from my mine, then I lose. These diamonds, totaling 50 million usd, will be given to Mr. Ye as my stake."
Ye Bufan said, "What if I lose?"
Gangbos said, "If Mr. Ye loses, then give me this beautiful Young Miss He. What do you think?"
Ye Bufan's expression turned cold. He didn't expect this old man was still eyeing He Shuangshuang.
"I'm sorry, we Chinese people do not use our women as stakes."
He said, "However, since Mr. Gangbos wants to gamble, then let's play a round. If I lose, I will not only pay 50 million usd to buy all your diamonds, but also put up another 50 million usd as a stake.
That is to say, if Mr. Gangbos wins, I am willing to offer 100 million usd with both hands. What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Henry immediately said, "Mr. Ye, you can't gamble. This kind of bet is disadvantageous for you. You should know that just picking up two diamonds earlier was already extremely lucky.
Unless you have incredibly good luck, it's absolutely impossible to mine a 10-carat diamond within an hour."
Ye Bufan smiled faintly, "It's okay, I've always had very good luck."
Gangbos hesitated for a moment, then finally smiled and said, "Alright, let's do as Mr. Ye suggests. Please, Henry, be our witness."
In his opinion, as long as he won this bet, with 100 million usd in hand, this Chinese woman would naturally climb into his bed.
Ye Bufan looked at Henry and said, "Then please be our witness and start the timer."
"Mr. Ye, why don't you reconsider?"
Henry tried to persuade him again.
Ye Bufan patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I've always been extremely lucky."
Helplessly, Henry could only say, "Alright then, I wish you good luck."
After saying that, he pulled out his phone, brought up the timer function, and after everyone went outside the building, he pressed the start button.
Ye Bufan picked up a shovel again and then said, "Mr. Gangbos, I don't wish to be disturbed while I'm mining diamonds.
Also, I'd like to borrow your motorcycle. I think going further will allow me to find better diamonds."
Gangbos said, "No problem, you can use the motorcycle freely. We will wait for your good news here, there will be a slight disturbance."
A benevolent smile hung on his face, but his heart was filled with disdain. This Chinese man was an idiot. This bet clearly showed that he was bound to win.
Not to mention a greenhorn who had never mined diamonds, even a veteran would absolutely not be able to mine a 10-carat diamond within an hour.
It wouldn't matter if he rode a motorcycle or even drove a car.
Ye Bufan ignored him, took the shovel, and got on the nearby Harley motorcycle.
This motorcycle had great horsepower, was fast, and very stable. It was what Gangbos usually used for patrols within the diamond mine.
He started the motorcycle and sped off, a faint smile on his face.
Only he knew who the real idiot was. He probably thought that after he had scoured the place for an hour, it could no longer be called an open-pit mine, and not a single diamond would be left on the surface.
Although the motorcycle was fast, it did not affect his collection of diamonds here in the slightest. Wherever his Divine Sense passed, diamonds were silently collected into his Storage Ring, one by one.
About half an hour passed, and Ye Bufan showed no intention of stopping. Instead, he drove the motorcycle, plowing through the entire diamond mine from beginning to end.
And in his Storage Ring, diamonds were piled up into a small mountain, at least a hundred kilograms worth.
According to weight unit conversion, one gram is equivalent to 5 carats, and one kilogram is equivalent to 5,000 carats. This means that in such a short time, he had already collected nearly 500,000 carats of diamonds, which could be called a great harvest.
