Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 386: Curse Stone

Behind the board was a small recess, and when Chen Yiyang reached in with his hand, he indeed felt a cloth bag.

Chen Yiyang pinched it with his fingers, confirmed there was indeed something diamond-shaped inside the cloth bag, so he took it out and casually put it in his pocket without inspecting the contents closely.

By the time Chen Yiyang put the board back in place, the supervisor had already returned from outside.

The two of them continued strolling around the abandoned warehouse, and only then did Chen Yiyang make an excuse to leave.

Back at the hotel, he took out the cloth bag that clearly had some years on it.

Huh?

Chen Yiyang was somewhat shocked after taking the diamond out of the cloth bag.

Because it was really too big.

Even though Chen Yiyang had almost no knowledge of jewelry, he felt that this blue diamond seemed quite extraordinary.

First of all, the appearance.

From the exterior, this blue diamond had almost no flaws, and holding it in his hand felt like glass.

The biggest difference between natural and synthetic diamonds is that natural diamonds usually have some flaws.

But the blue diamond in Chen Yiyang’s hand, at first glance, seemed flawless, nearing the purity level of synthetic diamonds.

In terms of rarity, blue diamonds are next only to red diamonds, and the natural blue gems on the market are mostly produced in the diamond mines of South Africa and Australia.

This makes blue diamonds even rarer and extremely expensive.

Of course, if it was only flawless, it wouldn’t have surprised Chen Yiyang so much.

The key point is, not only is this diamond flawless, but it’s also very large.

Chen Yiyang estimated it in his hand, it probably weighed at least above forty carats. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

A diamond of this quality and size could be deemed a rare treasure, famously known in the history of human jewelry.

Moreover, Chen Yiyang could be sure that once this diamond was mined, it already had a certain reputation in the jewelry market, and possibly even its own exclusive name.

After all, a diamond this large would have been hard to hide upon discovery.

This find seemed monumental.

Because Chen Yiyang was really curious about the weight of the diamond, he asked the hotel front desk to send a bag of coffee beans, a blender, and a small electronic scale for weighing under the guise of wanting a hand-crafted coffee.

As soon as the service personnel left, Chen Yiyang cleaned the blue diamond and placed it on the electronic scale.

The scale’s display immediately showed the precise weight of the blue diamond.

grams.

That is, 50 carats.

After seeing the weight, Chen Yiyang gasped.

A flawless blue diamond weighing 50 carats.

It seemed he had some clues about the origin of this blue diamond.

Because a diamond of this weight exists only in Thailand, possibly uniquely.

Upon thinking of this, Chen Yiyang immediately took out his phone to ask his assistant to book a ticket back to Lin’an.

As mentioned before, diamonds weighing more than forty carats each have their own exclusive name.

The most famous blue diamond weighing more than forty carats was probably the Hope Diamond, weighing 45 carats.

This blue diamond was the prototype for the Heart of the Ocean in the movie Titanic.

But in reality, the story behind this blue diamond is more complex and gruesome than the movie Titanic.

So much so that the blue diamond was once referred to as the Curse Stone.

The story behind the Hope Diamond is quite complicated, but what anyone needs to know is that this blue diamond, discovered over three hundred years ago, changed hands many times, but very few of its owners had a good end.

Beyond the supernatural factors, the biggest reason for this phenomenon is the extreme rarity of the blue diamond, making it usually priceless.

If someone truly wants to sell it, the price would start at the sky-high level.

Tens of millions of US Dollars might just be the entry-level, the actual price depends on how much interested buyers can pay.

Additionally, the value of a blue diamond itself would increase exponentially with each carat over forty.

If the current owner is willing to put the 45-carat Hope Diamond up for auction, the price would need to be over ten million US Dollars.

So, for the 50-carat flawless blue diamond, it would easily start at fifty million US Dollars.

However, for a blue diamond of this weight, as soon as it is unearthed, it becomes a focus of the world, and its first owner is absolutely a renowned character.

Thus, Chen Yiyang could essentially determine the origin of the 50-carat blue diamond.

But now was not the time to talk about this.

While calmly putting the blue diamond back into the cloth bag, Chen Yiyang made a call to the director of Marte Bubble.

"I think the geographical location condition of that abandoned warehouse is indeed good," Chen Yiyang said, "My Yiyang Automobile will need a headquarters in Thailand in the future. Could you ask the warehouse’s owner how much they would need to sell the land to me?"

"Sure, Mr. Chen, I’ll inquire about it right away," the Marte Bubble’s director replied with a sudden realization.

Just as he suspected, a billionaire wouldn’t rent a warehouse just for fun.

Apparently, he wanted to see if this warehouse could be used as Yiyang Automobile’s future division in Thailand, so he rented it first to observe.

After finishing the call, Chen Yiyang took several deep breaths. Once the assistant got him the ticket, he immediately flew back to Lin’an.

"What are you doing visiting me in the middle of the night?"

Yang Chengru was disturbed and awakened by Chen Yiyang at two in the morning.

Because Chen Yiyang had just returned to Lin’an at this time.

Fortunately, it was Saturday the next day, he didn’t have to go to work.

So Yang Chengru could only wash his face and come over to Chen Yiyang’s villa to meet him.

"Something happened, so I returned urgently," Chen Yiyang said.

"That’s right, weren’t you in Thailand?"

Yang Chengru rubbed his face to wake up.

"Did you get yourself into some big trouble in Thailand and hurried back?" Yang Chengru was a bit curious.

"It is indeed a big trouble." Chen Yiyang nodded in response to Yang Chengru’s joking query.

"Wait, you actually got into trouble." Yang Chengru widened his eyes.

Then he pondered for a moment and cautiously asked, "No one’s been killed, right?"

"No, nothing like that."

"That’s good." Yang Chengru felt relieved, wondering if any of his elders had connections in Thailand.

Chen Yiyang took out a cloth bag and poured out a blue diamond.

"But it’s a trouble that’s even bigger than a murder."

Yang Chengru looked at the blue diamond on the table and suddenly realized something.

"If that’s really that diamond, it indeed would be more troublesome than a murder."
