"How do you know?" Tao Dongcheng was startled, and then he came to his senses, and said disdainfully, "It's just to let you know what is imported, but you are blind. Quickly tell the name and source of this thing."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Even if you have this thing, I'm afraid it's not much, and I don't know which ghost you bought it from." He cupped his fists at Xu Wei and said, "Master Xu, for the sake of fairness For the sake of convenience, I ask Mr. Tao to write the name and source of this thing on a piece of paper, hand it over to the adults for safekeeping, and then guess it next time. In case I get it right, someone will mistake the deer for a horse and forcibly change the name of this thing."
Xu Wei nodded and said: "That should be the case. Mr. Tao, please write it down. The old man made a statement first, and this strange thing may not be known to no one. Mr. Tao, don't just make up a fake name to deceive the old man. .”
Xu Wei is an old man, so what he said was very harsh. Tao Dongcheng wanted to cheat, but he didn't have the guts. Xu Wei is known as the best talent in the world, so he may not recognize this thing. Tao Dongcheng was afraid, so he followed Xu Wei's instructions and honestly wrote a line of small characters on the paper.
Xu Wei nodded slightly, and said to Lin Wanrong, "Now you can tell me what this is."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "This thing is called DIOMAND in the language of Westerners. It means "unconquerable" in ancient Greek, and it means the hardest in Arabic. When translated into my Chinese language, it means Diamonds. In the eyes of Westerners, diamonds are full of mystery, legend and romance. Some people say that they are fragments of fallen stars, while others say that they are the crystallization of the tears of the gods on the ground. In fact, diamonds are not only falling from the sky, but also Breaking out of the ground. He is a natural diamond that has been polished and has a hard texture. Please look at it."
As he spoke, he walked up to Tao Dongcheng and took out the small diamond from the small box, but Tao Dongcheng asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it's just an experiment."
Lin Wanrong took out the small bottle of perfume from his arms, and said, "Everyone, please look, this is a glass bottle." He gently stroked the diamond on the glass bottle, and a deep mark appeared on the glass bottle, and the diamond But it was not damaged at all.
Everyone was amazed, this diamond is sharp and hard yet so beautiful, it is really a rare treasure.
Lin Wanrong put the diamond back into the small box with a smile, and said: "Everyone has seen it. The hardness of this diamond can be seen. In fact, the diamond in Mr. Tao's hand has only undergone the most primitive polishing. Hardness and workmanship are the worst varieties. It is also a defective product after being polished by Westerners."
"It's nonsense." Tao Dongcheng said angrily, "This diamond was carefully selected by me. Is it a defective product?"
Lin Wanrong said oh, shit, I was worried that Dahuachao translated DIOMAND into something else, but now I feel relieved, it is also called diamond.
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "Although Mr. Tao has this small piece of defective diamond, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to identify it at all. The choice of this diamond is based on color, density, luster, and refraction. Judging from these four points , the piece in Mr. Tao's hand is indeed the best choice. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a defective product. A real diamond is hard, pure, and bright. It has remained unchanged for thousands of years. A diamond is forever. Perpetuity.Westerners associate the indestructible diamond with the eternal love in this life, making diamond the best gift to express love.Hardness symbolizes the eternal and unbreakable relationship between men and women; colorful light symbolizes the relationship between men and women. Love is as rich and brilliant as a flame; it is white and transparent, symbolizing the selflessness of love. The implication can be described as far-reaching.”
All the people here are businessmen, and they have a strong curiosity about new things. Lin Wanrong's words, although they don't understand ancient Greek, Arabic, and Western languages, but this explanation penetrated into their hearts. To be able to explain this diamond so transparently and reasonably, this Lin San should not have lied. Even Tao Wanying was a little crazy to hear it. According to what Lin San said, wouldn't this diamond be the favorite of all women in the world.
The eldest lady stared blankly at Lin San, and thought, this bad guy actually recognized this thing, and he can still remember it like a treasure, so I don't know how much he has hidden.
Xu Wei is the most talented student in the world. When he was young, he had seen Westerners, but he had never heard of this diamond. Now that he heard Lin Wanrong's explanation, he couldn't help nodding. The world is so big, and there are so many unknown things. Three, it is indeed well-informed.
The most displeased thing was Tao Dongcheng, he snorted and said: "Lin San, don't be complacent, even if you guessed the name correctly but didn't tell where he came from, it doesn't count as you winning." Yes, the name has been guessed correctly. The eldest lady was overjoyed when she heard it, and she slowly let go of her hanging heart.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Master Tao, don't panic, I haven't mentioned the source yet."
Everyone pricked up their ears, listening to what Lin San said.
"Where is the origin of this diamond? The Book of Songs says, "The stone from another mountain can be used to drill jade." The stone from another mountain is probably this diamond. This also shows that our ancestors have already discovered it. There are also diamonds in Dahua." Lin Wanrong said with a smile. All of you here have heard the famous line in the "Book of Songs". If you think about the meaning of this line carefully, isn't that what it means
"However, the secondary diamond in Mr. Tao's hand came from the West. Diamonds in the world were first discovered in India, and later they were also produced in large quantities in the Amazon River Basin in South America. Later, they were discovered in South Africa. A large number of diamond mines. The Westerners are powerful and used plundering methods to snatch the diamonds away, process them and then ship them to all over the world. The piece in Mr. Tao’s hand came from the West, but the place of origin is no different Almost the above three."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said to Tao Dongcheng: "Young Master Tao, let me borrow this drill again."
Tao Dongcheng's teeth itch with hatred, but he couldn't refute, so he just snorted.
Lin Wanrong lifted the diamond over his head and said with a smile: "Everyone, please see that the edges of this diamond are neatly cut at right angles. Sister Liu, you are an expert in jewelry processing. Tell me, how did this come about?"
Liu Yue'e took a closer look at the diamond, and said seriously: "My Liu family has polished jade for several generations, but it can't be cut so neatly. From my point of view, it must not be cut by hand."
Lin Wanrong stretched out her thumb and said, "An expert is an expert, and the words hit the point. This diamond is indeed cut by a machine, so it can be so neat."
Everyone immediately whispered, Liu Yue'e is an expert in polishing jadeite jewelry, she can't even polish it, so how fine is this machine.
Xu Wei was startled and said, "Brother Lin, is this really the skill of a Westerner? I have seen a Westerner in the past, but I have never heard of them having such skills?"
Lin Wanrong sighed: "Master Xu, everything is changing, don't look at people with old eyes. Judging from the cutting of this diamond, the current mechanical processing of Westerners is better than my Dahua. But my Dahua has countless As long as we work harder, we can catch up with the skilled craftsmen, and we should not underestimate them."
Xu Wei nodded. Lin Wanrong continued: "Why do I say that the piece in Mr. Tao's hand is a defective product? In addition to the chromaticity, brightness, and hardness I mentioned earlier, the other important point is the cut. Yes. A real diamond is extremely precious. It must be carefully carved and polished. It will never have such straight edges and corners. Only the cut and defective products will come and go like this. "
Lin Wanrong's observation was subtle, and his words made sense, and everyone nodded in agreement. Xu Wei felt relieved when he heard it, and looked at Tao Dongcheng and said, "Young Master Tao, are you satisfied with Lin San's answer?"
Tao Dongcheng's face was pale, his understanding of this diamond was really limited, Lin San's words made even himself feel speechless, he gritted his teeth and said: "Master Xu, this diamond is the one I came to Hai'an last month. I caught two ghosts who drifted from nowhere, and I got it from them."
"Is that ghost blond with pale skin?" Xu Wei asked.
"That's right. When I came to Hangzhou this time, I brought them with me and prepared to hand them over to your lord. They are downstairs right now. There are several countries in the West, but I don't know where this ghost is from. Ruo Lin San can ask Come out, this time I will be convinced to lose." Tao Dongcheng said.
Xu Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Bring that Westerner here."
After a while, two soldiers escorted two Westerners who looked sleepy and wretched. They were tall, blond, with sallow complexion, sunken eye sockets, and ragged clothes. They seemed to have been tortured for a long time.
Although all of you present have heard of Westerners before, this is the first time for most of you to see them, and many of them cried out in surprise.
The Western language is very different from the Chinese language, and there is no interpreter right now. Xu Wei glanced at Lin Wanrong and said, "Brother Lin, what do you think?"
Xu Wei now looks at Lin Wanrong with a feeling of inscrutability. This Lin San knows a lot. Since he can explain the history and source of this diamond clearly and clearly, he might be able to deal with these Westerners. .
It was the first time for the eldest lady to see this Westerner, and she couldn't help but tugged on Lin San's sleeve and said, "Lin San, so this Westerner looks so ugly."
Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "It's true that she's not as good-looking as Missy."
"I hate it." The eldest lady rolled his eyes at him, and the youngest daughter showed her charm.
Lin Wanrong walked up to the Westerner, chattering for a while, and the Westerner's face became happy, and also chattered. No one in the hall could understand their language, but Xu Wei was overjoyed that Lin San could understand Western languages, talent, talent!
While talking, everyone was surprised. It turned out that the Westerner took out a diamond half the size of a little finger from his body and gave it to Lin Wanrong respectfully.
This diamond is extremely crystal clear, as transparent as a crystal, and under the sunlight, it shimmers with a brilliant luster, so magnificent and gorgeous that people dare not look directly at it. Compared with Tao Dongcheng's defective product, compared with the one in front of him, it is like a firefly and a bright moon, a world of difference.
Everyone was stunned, and the hearts of the women in the hall suddenly accelerated. How could such a big diamond not attract their attention
Lin Wanrong took the diamond, turned around and said with a grin: "Ask me clearly, this man is called Tavoni, from France. He travels between India and Europe, and he specializes in this diamond business. Because of the wind at sea, Their ship lost its direction and drifted to Dahua without knowing it. [Note: Tavoni, a Frenchman, is known as the "Father of Diamonds".]
Surprised and delighted, Xu Wei looked at Tao Dongcheng and said, "Young Master Tao, what else do you have to say?"
This round was supposed to be a sure win, but it was completely destroyed by Lin San. How could Tao Dongcheng not be angry, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This round, I lost."
"Lin San—" the eldest lady exclaimed, and happily grabbed Lin San's sleeve, with tears and a smile at the same time.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I told you earlier, I am the second most talented person in the world."
The eldest lady covered her small mouth, she was both sad and happy, and wept softly, "You braggart."
After losing the first round, the second round will be a fight, and there is no room for loss, but Tao Dongcheng recruits someone around him, whispers to him for a while, and a vicious gleam shines in his eyes. The man next to him had a gleam in his eyes, and at a glance, he knew that he was an absolute martial arts master.
Damn, this kid probably thinks I'm going to compete with them and wants to kill me. Lin Wanrong is clear-eyed, but it's strange that I want to do what you want.
The eldest lady said: "Lin San, it's time for us to come up with a question for this round of martial arts. Have you thought about it yet? What kind of question are we going to ask?"
Lin Wanrong was dizzy: "Miss, this question should be your idea, right?"
The eldest lady's face turned red, and she seemed to be slack with a man supporting her. She blushed a bit and said: "This essay is better than your answer, Wu Gong, you should think of another way."
This girl, if I stop thinking I'm smart, can Geddy come up with an idea right away? Lin Wanrong looked at her with a wry smile and said, "Miss, do you believe me?"
He would ask these idiotic questions, and the eldest lady gave him an annoyed look and said, "I don't like to hear what you said."
This chick lost her temper at this time, Lin Wanrong chuckled and said: "Then it's my question. You listen to me later, I tell you what to do, you don't have to do anything, don't have any fear, understand?" ?”
The eldest lady nodded and said, "I'm not afraid, just tell me."
Lin Wanrong stood up, clasped his fists at Xu Wei, and said with a smile, "Master Xu, for this martial attack, let the young lady of my Xiao family take part in the competition."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked. This is a martial arts contest, but let this delicate Miss Xiao appear on the stage, Lin Sanfang angrily smashed the glory of the two presidents.
