Feng Yi did not have the same worries as Mark, and he seemed very confident about the store.
This calm, peaceful and stable mood actually made the diamond store owner more respectful.
The owner has seen many customers. He started selling diamonds when the mines here had not yet been transformed, and he has seen all kinds of customers until now.
Did Feng Yi buy a lot of diamonds
To ordinary people, it is indeed a lot.
However, the store manager, who had handled large-scale diamond transactions, was able to respond calmly.
If the customer seems particularly concerned and keeps repeating the same thing over and over again, the store manager may not take it seriously.
However, for customers like Feng Yi, the store manager's attitude becomes more serious.
Such customers either really don't care about this and can afford the loss, or they have enough strength to suppress all tricks and are not afraid of tricks.
No matter which one it is, the store manager will treat it seriously.
Don't just focus on the immediate benefits, take a long-term view!
Feng Yi didn't bring diamonds, and he didn't go through the side door, but went out directly through the main door. Going through the side door would require a detour, so the main door is more convenient.
The store manager personally saw the guest off to the door, watched the mysterious guest walk away, and then returned to the store. Then he picked up the phone and asked someone to check the identity of the mysterious guest. If they could find out some information, that would be great, but if they couldn't, that would be fine too.
Feng Yi, who had already left the store, continued to stroll around under Mark's worried gaze, and even had the mind to taste the various local specialties.
Those messy food stalls are all run by nearby villagers. With more tourists, the villagers will certainly not miss this opportunity to increase their income.
"They only need to pay a certain fee to the mine and they can set up stalls here, and the income is not bad."
Mark introduced the situation here, and then watched Feng Yi eat along the way in surprise.
You know, the food made by villagers from various villages may not be accustomed to by tourists from other countries. Even Mark himself cannot accept it.
But Feng Yi accepted it with a good look.
Not to mention the common foods, sweet, salty, fragrant and smelly, this employer is not picky at all.
Further ahead, on a small stall, plump and round insects were wriggling in coconut shells.
This is a delicacy that the indigenous people like. Well, in the eyes of the indigenous people, it is a delicacy and can also provide rich protein.
Tourists coming and going stopped by, some screaming, some taking photos, and some eager to try.
In comparison, Feng Yi was more calm.
Mark asked attentively: "Boss, do you want to give it a try? Ignore their appearance, they taste pretty good!"
Feng Yi agreed: "Well, it's okay, like glutinous rice cakes. I've eaten it."
After playing in the rain forest for so many days and consuming so much energy, of course he doesn't just eat vegetarian food.
Sometimes he would also refer to the diet of the animals there.
For example, a certain type of palm tree used to make sago can be eaten.
For example, the insects that grow inside this tree can be eaten.
There were too many tourists surrounding the small stall in front of him, and many people were taking photos and videos. Feng Yi did not stop here and continued his eating and shopping journey.
Mark, who followed diligently, became more curious about Feng Yi: What kind of rich man is this employer? He is not picky about what he eats.
We didn't wander around for too long before we could enter the mine.
There were two tour groups walking in front. The tour guides wearing hats of different colors and holding flags led the teams in and loudly explained to the tourists the various steps and precautions of digging and washing diamonds.
The tourists were in high spirits. Although they knew they would most likely return empty-handed, they still couldn't help but come and try in the hot sun.
Feng Yi heard the group of tourists in front of him chatting excitedly:
"I checked. Colored diamonds have been found here before! But the number is very small. Now, you can't find even one for many days. Even if you find one, it's just a very small particle and can't be sold at a high price. You can find the smallest pieces on the rough stone display counter in the diamond store outside."
"Speaking of the diamond shops outside, I heard from the tour group next door that someone bought a rough diamond worth millions in a shop outside at noon!"
"Go to a finished product store to buy raw stones? Why don't you go to another mining area that specializes in selling raw stones? What's the point of buying here? Where did this fool come from? Is he a fool?!"
Feng Yi, who was walking behind them: …
He lowered his sunglasses, pretended not to hear, and continued walking inside.
Feng Yi's influence mainly exists on the Internet. Except for those who pay special attention to Feng Yi, most people, whether at home or abroad, can only say that they may know that Feng Yi exists and what the pictures posted online look like, but in real life, their ability to identify him is much weaker. After all, he is not a world-class figure.
At this time, Feng Yi was mixed in with ordinary tourists and had no sense of existence at all.
The tourist in front complained about the high price of buying raw stones, and then talked about diamonds.
"The diamond market is too crazy. Factories can now produce diamonds in batches, so why are diamond rings still so expensive? I heard that it's cheaper here before I came here, and I wanted to buy a diamond ring for my wife. But when I entered the store and saw it, I felt so painful!"
"The way luxury goods are played, certificates, design, cutting and other aspects all require a premium, which is not something that ordinary people can handle. Others play the luxury goods market differently from us. However, raw stones are indeed not as valuable as before. When you think about it this way, do you feel your restless heart calm down?" said the person next to him.
"No, I feel even more agitated! I want to sell more while it can still be sold at a high price. I wonder how many houses I can buy!"
The person who said this looked dreamy.
The person next to him slapped him and said, "Wake up, stop dreaming. There is not a single diamond left. How can there be any diamonds? We are just here to experience it, take a video and post it on WeChat Moments to show off. Do you really expect to dig up diamonds here?"
Mark, who was following behind, heard this and nodded secretly.
That’s right, you just come here to check in and experience it, so keep a calm mind and don’t harbor the illusion that you can really dig out diamonds.
You want to get rich from this? You’re overthinking it!
Feng Yi was already walking around the mine with his tools. He didn't dig at first, but stood by and watched the tour group members work.
Mark and Cai Bin followed closely, but there was no place for them to use their skills in the mine.
So, when the employer stopped, the two of them stayed not far away and chatted from time to time.
The two have different attitudes towards diamonds.
Cai Bin is not optimistic about the diamond market, nor does he think it is a big deal, it is all a market game.
But after all, the sponsor was here, so he couldn't express his ideas without scruples, so he sang softly: "Oh~ It's all bubbles, just a moment of fireworks~"
Mark laughed beside him: "Hey, don't say it in such a nonchalant tone. I don't believe you don't want to find diamonds."
Cai Bin immediately said, "Of course I want to! This thing can be exchanged for money. In some countries, some people have called it the 'easiest cash to carry'! But, can I dig it up here?"
Mark shrugged and said the universal phrase: "It just depends on luck."
Over there, Feng Yi seemed to be watching others digging diamonds, but in fact, he was sensing the scene.
Because of the long time, diamonds related to our ancestors may be extremely rare here, and it is not certain whether there are any remaining stones in this mine.
Even if there are, the diamond fragments are so tiny, and their surface material is even thinner, making it difficult to perceive unless you are close to them.
Therefore, if Feng Yi wanted to find possible diamond fragments related to his ancestors, he had to scan one place after another like a scanner.
Pretend to dig, then move to another place and dig again.
His behavior is similar to that of tourists in a tour group.
When they arrived at another place, Feng Yi was dressed in formal attire when he heard people in a tour group talking not far away. There was a bit of resentment in their words. It might be because they had been under the sun for so long without any gain and were tired, so they were a little upset.
"Diamonds should only be used in industry! Didn't the news say that diamond prices have fallen so much?"
Another person: "Brother, isn't your girlfriend going to buy a diamond ring? Just tell her that diamonds will depreciate in value once you buy them! To put it bluntly, isn't it just carbon that has been pressed underground for a long time under high temperature and pressure? It can be synthesized in batches artificially, and it will become less valuable as time goes by! Buy gold instead. Gold is the scarce substance in the universe, it is truly eternal and will be passed down forever, and it is also a financial product!"
"Yes, diamonds are all hyped up by that company!"
“It’s all a consumption trap! A tax on IQ!”
"Gold is worth more than diamonds! Diamonds are just like that after all..."
The uncle in the same tour group couldn't help but turn around and look over to them after hearing their chatter:
"That's enough, both of you! Stop talking about gold and diamonds. How do you know that gold can't be synthesized in the future? I heard that laboratories can synthesize gold now, but it has high radiation and high cost. But who can say for sure in a few decades? A hundred years ago, no one could have imagined that diamonds could be synthesized artificially in large quantities!
"What's the point of buying things just based on the value of the materials? Nowadays, everything is hyped up!
"Those thousand dollar figurines you two bought are worthless in my eyes! After ten or twenty years, the materials will age and they will become garbage!
!”
"Broken figurine", "worthless", "a pile of garbage"...
The two young men were immediately furious.
"How can you say that!"
"Do you know what it means to be able to encounter something but not to seek it? Do you know what it means to live and love?"
“That’s my emotional carrier!”
"You are trampling on my spirit and soul!"
Facing the anger of the two young men, the old man rolled his eyes and said, "You're such a spendthrift!"
The two young men blushed and wanted to continue arguing, but the sun made their brains dizzy. Looking around, their eyes fell on Feng Yi, and one of them asked:
"Hey, bro, where are you from? Can you understand me?"
Feng Yi nodded.
The man hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you play with action figures? Like action figures?"
Feng Yi thought of the things in his collection and nodded: "Play."
The man nodded and said, "That's right, isn't this normal? Why is this uncle insulting people?"
Feng Yi said: "Just like it yourself. The world changes so fast, and it's hard to tell what the collection value is."
After saying that, he quickly took his tools and ran to the next location without getting involved in their discussion.
Looking at the sun in the sky, Feng Yi sped up.
Just as Mark said, there is a lot of clutter here, and there are indeed many things that confuse the vision. Tourists keep shouting excitedly and then sighing in disappointment.
The land here has been plowed many times, so the possibility of what Feng Yi is looking for existing here is really small.
His eyes swept across the mine and then landed on the panning area.
There are quite a few people there, and most of the miners in the mining area are busy there.
Yes, the mine has been transformed, but the miners are still doing their original jobs, only the service objects have changed.
Tourists were concerned about the clothes and shoes they were wearing and were unwilling to stand in the water to pan for diamonds, so they paid the miners to do the job and asked the miners to help wash the mud and sand they had dug.
Tourists stood nearby taking videos and occasionally chatting with the miners looking for diamonds.
The process of panning for diamonds is actually very simple. Use a sieve to filter out the mud and sand in the water, and then look for diamonds among the remaining stones and other particles.
There is also a pot-like tool shaped like a hat. The miners skillfully toss it in the water, constantly splashing water to sift out impurities. The denser stones will remain at the bottom, and if there are diamonds, the miners will find them.
Several miners were particularly passionate in shaking the pots. I don't know whether it was because they were paid a lot by tourists or if they were just showing off their skills.
The atmosphere in the panning area is much more lively than the digging area on land.
There are indeed tourists who have found diamonds, but they are very small, like rice grains, and they cannot be sold at a high price even if they are sold.
But tourists who find diamonds are particularly excited, because no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!
Even though it's only the size of a grain of rice, this is what he gained here!
The other one even shouted excitedly: "Never air force!"
Then it attracted the dissatisfied gazes of several fishing players.
Damn, my position is still free!
And make a decision in your heart that if you really can’t find any diamonds, just pick a few stones and take them back!
The washing area was bustling with activity.
Feng Yi walked around the area but found nothing, but he did not intend to leave. Instead, he dug some soil nearby and went to a designated location to rent a sieve for washing diamonds. Then he took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, walked into the water with the sieve, pretending to look for diamonds.
Shop in one place for a while, then move to another place to continue shopping.
Although he seemed to be panning for diamonds, in fact, Feng Yi focused most of his attention on the bottom of the water, trying to sense the substances in the water.
After sifting through the sieves for a few times, my clothes were covered in mud stains.
He changed to another place and as soon as he got into the water, Feng Yi paused slightly.
Huh
It seems like a little "signal" was scanned, with a weak induction!
Feng Yi walked towards that direction.
The closer you are to the source of the "signal", the stronger the perception.
The strength of this "signal" will not be a small fragment.
Coming above the source of the "signal", Feng Yi dug at the mud and sand at the bottom of the water with his feet.
The covering layer is quite thick and cannot be scraped out in a short time.
So Feng Yi dug a few times with his feet and then pretended to use a sieve to sift the water.
The efficiency is a bit slow, but not noticeable.
About five minutes later, Feng Yi staggered slightly, as if he was tripped by something in the water. His puzzled expression was very appropriate. Then he leaned over and grabbed an object from the water, which almost covered his entire palm.
There was a lot of mud and water on it, so the main body couldn't be seen clearly.
"found it."
