Chapter 95 "Medicine" (1) the sun shines through the dense leaves of the maple tree and projects the sunlight onto the ground


    The south wind brings the fragrance of the floral shirt


    The freshly cut grass smell is also filled with familiar cells


    The house was at the southernmost end of the avenue, and a gentle chill tried to dispel the heat of early summer


    Although it had been repeatedly defeated, it was not discouraged


    The sky was blue and bright, and it was a rare good day


    A few clouds moved slowly and were inadvertently blown into strips by the wind, then" rubbed" them and threw them further away


    The maple trees in the garden rustled, and their rhythmic movements rubbed against their brothers and sisters, exchanging their thoughts for many days


    Stepping on the friendly land, he leaned back against the spider-hugged egg he planted, and faced the melancholy of history and the feeling of being home again, huang xuan swept the green leaves on every tree with a happy mood, pounded hard on the hard loquat tree, and shouted at the small building behind the yard," I''m back


    " Housekeeper zhou quickly ran out and looked at Huang Xuan in a sweatshirt


    He couldn''t help but laugh and said," my eldest son, why have you been like this these two days


    "" It''s hot


    " Huang Xuan smiled and said," where are my parents


    "" I went to work


    I seem to be busy these days


    " Huang Xuan had been away for nearly four days during this time period of time for p 1212


    Fortunately, he called home every day


    Zhang Xinyi thought he was going to Shanghai to deal with some port affairs, but he was encouraged


    Naturally, father of Huang would not object


    After two sips of water, he wiped his mouth and said," what about Li Qing


    "" He''s still sleeping in the hotel


    I heard from the kid who went over two days ago that the experts that madam brought in were exhausted


    Li Qing stayed up all night too


    He didn''t dare to sleep when others didn''t sleep


    It was quite tiring


    " Zhou Butler complained when he said this


    Huang Xuan just smiled


    Was he at ease on p 101


    The roar of the printing press could blow a person''s head off, and he was in a hurry to spend money during the day


    After a few days, he didn''t even sleep a wink


    Before they left, a biological bomb knocked out half of the factory, and then let out a bad breath, let it dare to disturb people''s dreams again


    " How''s grandpa


    " Huang Xuan asked in a low voice as he took the short-sleeved shirt handed to him by the butler in one hand


    " It''s the same," Zhou Lian didn''t say much


    Nodding his head, he said he knew


    He would also ask grandpa about his illness over the phone these two days, but when he was old and recovered, it was always unsatisfactory


    After taking a shower in the small bathroom in the courtyard, huang xuan walked out with his head wiped


    This small bathroom was built with the swimming pool at that time


    Unfortunately, because of the base, the swimming pool was filled by huang xuan, and now all of the underground is the earth-rock structure that the base moved into


    " Call Li Qing and tell him that I''m done


    Uh


    How did mom thank those experts


    " Huang Xuan asked uncertainly


    Zhou Lian put on a bathrobe for huang xuan and said," madam should be setting up a project for several professors


    Sponsor the research


    I don''t know the details


    " Nodding his head, he said," I''m going to america tomorrow


    I don''t have time to see them


    It''s not convenient for you to thank them


    Let''s not say I''m back


    That''s it


    " Of course, the butler was familiar with the matter of welcome and delivery


    Zhou Lian immediately agreed, but his mouth was not idle:" originally, everyone said that young master The huang family did not like to study, but I did not expect you to have another set of business


    " He smiled and said," this is my mother''s good genes


    "" Madam has a good education


    " As Zhou Lian spoke, the two of them had already entered the room, so he stopped and said," you just got off the plane


    If you''re tired, sleep first


    I''ll cook porridge for you


    Does madam know you''re back


    "" Please inform me


    I came back by car


    I''m really sleepy


    " Huang Xuan yawned and stopped halfway up the stairs


    " Uncle zhou, there''s something else


    Please tell Aubrey, the manager of the Citi, to come over before dinner


    If you don''t know the phone number, ask Li Qing


    "" Okay


    " There was no noise, no smell, and huang xuan slept soundly


    By the time he became conscious, it was already five or six in the afternoon


    Huang Xuan yawned and dragged a t-shirt


    Zhou Lian heard a voice coming in and looked at him with a smile


    " That Mr


    Aubrey has been waiting for you for almost two hours


    Do you want to take a shower first or see him now


    "" Right now


    " Huang Xuan woke up and went back to the house to get a small box


    He put a few diamonds in the box and then walked downstairs slowly


    Because precious metals consumed too much plane energy and far exceeded the value of gold and silver itself, apart from a few artworks such as the fabai hot eggs, the rest of these items were stripped off and sent back to the country except for some to Hans


    For Aubrey, it was only four days since he saw Huang Xuan, but for the latter, it was almost two weeks


    It seemed that the life of the Citi''s professional manager was getting better and better


    Not only did his skin show signs of being well maintained, but his suit was also changed to look a few years younger


    Afraid of the light, he covered his eyes and squinted at Aubrey


    He smiled and said," Mr


    White, how are you


    Did you go to Beijing to see the great wall


    "" There''s no time


    " Aubrey quickly clarified


    He guessed that Huang Xuan must have been busy raising money these two days


    A $ 1


    2 billion bond would be too easy for a company to buy and too difficult for an individual to raise


    At the same time, it was difficult for either Huang Xuan''s mother''s Sifang group or the Huang''s fund itself to spend such a large sum of money to buy bonds


    In fact, the debt rates of both institutions were not low


    Aubrey wouldn''t dare travel on his own if the money was running around


    Nodding noncommittally, he took out the small box he had just taken out and put it on the table


    " Mr


    White, take a look at this first


    "" Okay


    " Aubrey took the box in his hand as he spoke, and the translator beside him sat out of the room


    In fact, Huang Xuan no longer needed an interpreter to talk to people


    Aubrey took him with him to make it easier for him to go out


    The boxes were filled with Huang Xuan''s carefully selected diamonds, which weighed between 5 and 5


    99 carats on average, had an" e" grade and a purity above vvs 1


    According to the latest international diamond report from the cia, the price should be $ 808,000


    Huang Xuan''s purchase price was around $ 100,000


    However, since the weight has already exceeded 1 carat, the market price usually has a 5 % or more premium on the guidance price of the gias


    Aubrey carefully picked up one and looked at it


    He was not familiar with diamonds, but every international bank manager knew that diamonds were different from ordinary jewelry, especially since the establishment of the ebeers consolidated mines in 1934


    This legal monopoly industry uses the supply of diamonds from the central sales organization to maintain global" sex" prices


    Whether it was depression or inflation, de beers had successfully determined their ability to stabilize the price of diamonds


    In modern banks, diamonds are money


    They can endorse international loans, repay debts, trade payments, and buy firearms - in the face of a fragile world economy and a constantly depreciating currency, diamonds are almost omnipotent


    Under the light, the diamond was shining brightly


    Aubrey carefully put it back in the small box and said," Mr


    Huang wants to buy bonds at the diamond price


    "" It''s not just buying bonds


    In fact, I want to use diamonds as collateral


    I don''t think the Citi will refuse


    "" Of course


    " Aubrey smiled


    Compared to real estate, stocks and bonds, the stability of diamonds is unparalleled


    No bank would refuse such a risk-free loan


    After rummaging through the table, Aubrey asked curiously," do you have an appraisal report on these diamonds


    And a kimberly progress certificate


    "" No


    " Huang xuan replied without even thinking about it


    Aubrey and the translator changed color at the same time


    Without a complete document, a diamond could easily be associated with a very bad word:" blood diamond


    " But of course, Aubrey couldn''t ask that


    He just said awkwardly," Mr


    Huang, without the appraisal report, the bank can''t give the mortgage as usual


    " Diamond is the only rare gem in the world that has been clearly defined its value


    Including its color, clarity, cutting, and weight


    Among them, the most stringent and famous international certification agencies include the gemological institute of america (gia), european gem laboratory (egl), International gemological institute (igi, and the american gemological society (ags)


    Therefore, when people buy diamonds, they have to buy certificates from these appraisal companies


    Thus, when needed, the diamonds will be easier to sell


    " Not every diamond has an appraisal report


    " Huang Xuan shrugged and said," this is part of the property my family left me


    At that time, there was no such system


    " The kimberly system began in the millennium, but it was signed by most countries after three years


    " Have you, or your family, not applied for a re-register


    " He spread out his hand and said," the chinese people care about money and not" exposure


    " I think you have known about it for so many days in china


    Well, you don''t have to think about it


    I just want you to tell me clearly if you are willing to mortgage my diamond


    "" Mr


    Huang, this question


    " Aubrey began his sticky state again


    " Force" asked," yes or no


    " Aubrey''s lips were dry, and he drank a glass of water but did not speak


    Of course, Huang Xuan knew what he was thinking


    He sat next to him and whispered," Although I don''t have a kimberly progress certificate for the diamonds in my hand, these diamonds are already polished


    When did you hear that the smuggled diamonds were completed by an excellent mechanic


    " He used the word" smuggled diamonds," not" blood diamonds


    " Of course, most of the blood diamonds are crude, but not always


    Of course, Mr


    White didn''t know about this, so he said cautiously," Mr


    Huang, I can''t decide on such a big thing


    " He nodded helplessly


    It seemed that he was a little anxious, so he smiled and said," then put the diamonds aside first


    I still have a batch of oil paintings in my hand, especially the property of the former russian royal family


    These things do not have a certificate, or the same rules, mortgage


    "" No problem


    " Aubrey agreed much more readily this time


    Taking a breath, according to Lorraine''s calculations, there was nothing wrong with bringing back more than $ 1


    2 billion, but it was troublesome to sell it quickly, but it was not as good as a direct loan


    The original value of the diamond was the most certain, and the bigger the diamond, the higher the value


    The loss of transportation energy would not increase much, but now it seems that the art is more convenient to evaluate


    He stood up and said," I think I will go to the united states in two days, so please talk to Mr


    Aubrey and Mr


    Steele


    " Steele was the president of Hui Rui medical" medicine


    " Aubrey understood that Huang Xuan wanted him to complete the loan within two days


    He nodded heavily and said," our relationship with sotheby is not bad


    I will negotiate with headquarters when I get back


    It would be better for sotheby and the Citi to co-identify


    " He was in charge of most of Huang Xuan''s asset management


    Naturally, he knew that if huang xuan wanted to raise 1


    2 billion us dollars, he would need at least another loan of 800 million us dollars


    Fortunately, after Citi merged with the traveler group, the insurance business expanded smoothly and there was no problem in the identification of artworks
