Chapter 211 211: Are You Going To Sell It?
Those who could enter the DTC to select goods, they would have the benefit of getting an extremely low price. But because of the strictness of the selection conditions, only a few people could join it.
Hall inherited the position from his forefathers, and all of whom had been sight holders.
Of course, some diamond dealers could purchase diamond mines with enough funds, such as Joseph and Leo. In this way, they could circumvent the control of the DTC, but it required keen eyes and the rich experience of the investor because if you were unlucky and invested in the wrong mine, it would bring disgrace and ruin upon yourself.
Irish came to meet Mr. Hall with Joseph, but upon entering the meeting room, she was choked by the smoke. She couldn't bear the smell of cigars. Upon Joseph's arrival, Hall put aside his cigar to stand up and shook hands with Joseph. Belle was also there, and obviously, she didn't expect Irish would also come, so she frowned at her.
Hall's eyes lightened when he saw Irish, and his goatee trembled, "Mr. Dover, is this beautiful lady your assistant?"
When he was about to answer, Irish reached out her hand to Hall and answered, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Hall. I am the psychological counselor of the Runestone Group." She smiled at him.
Hall and Belle were astonished.
"Mr. Hall?" Her hands extended.
"Hello, hello, nice to meet you," Hall finally reacted and shook with her.
Joseph showed a faint smile and allowed her self-introduction, and then he reached out his hands and said, "Mr. Hall, please sit down."
Hall stared at Irish after sitting down, but his eyes were a little bit hesitant, "Ms. Irish, I am curious about who your tutor is. You are very young to be a psychological counselor. I really admire you."
"Doctor Drin was my tutor,"
Hall widened his eyes and asked in reply, "Doctor Drin? Is he the doctor who won several international prizes in psychology?"
"Yes, he was my tutor. Doctor Drin is the most popular psychologist in the world, and he specializes in praxeology. His psychological reports have been in many textbooks." But he was a wacky old man. When she studied praxeology abroad, her tutor was Doctor Drin. However, she became fascinated with the analysis of dreams, and Fredrick became her tutor. In fact, she was Doctor Drin's favorite pupil.
Hall nodded his head.
"I'm just along for the ride here today," Irish smiled faintly.
"Okay, okay." Hall also smiled.
Joseph began to negotiate the diamond mine purchase with him, and during the conversation, Irish did not speak a single word, leaning against the chair leisurely. She would occasionally glance at Hall, and sometimes he would also peer at her. When he found she was also looking at him, he would smile in embarrassment and then turn his head to discuss it with Joseph again.
Belle was quietly taking a record beside them.
Hall brought some information about the structure of the mine, which was mainly intended to encourage the bidders. Of course, they did not mention the amount of funds required. After all, there were still other investors, so Hall had to obey the rules.
They talked with each other for nearly two hours, so when Hall peered at Irish for the tenth time, Joseph finally turned to her and said, "You can leave but don't go far."
After hearing this, Irish hastily stood up and then left the meeting room. Before she left, she saw clearly that Hall was relieved.
There were many people in Mandela Square, and some of them were feeding pigeons while others were going for a walk with their kids. This was a place with a large gap between the wealthy and the poor. Though there were many poor people, many rich businessmen also gathered there. Irish had researched it and found that among the less than 100 sight holders, 17 of them lived in South Africa.
It was still early, so she went shopping at the Shopping Mall, and one and half hours later, she began to shop in some famous stores where the products were cheaper than in America, but she still was not very interested in them.
Thanks to Joseph, under the temptation of his bonus, she learned a lot about diamonds, so now her understanding of them was far better than before. She could also tell the quality of diamonds now. Of course, she was still less experienced than Joseph, but compared with others, she could be called an expert.
When she was looking around a diamond store, the workers in the shop all gazed at her necklace, so she left after a while. Suddenly someone called behind her, and when she turned back, she found that it was a black man.
She subconsciously stepped back. The man stopped when he saw the panic in her eyes and hinted at her not to be afraid. He then took out his business card to show to her. "Don't worry. I'm the manager of this diamond store, and this is my business card."
Irish felt awkward since she knew that she was anxious, and then she stepped forward and took his business card.
"Oh, I just want to ask you where you got the rough diamond around your neck," The manager pointed at her neck and asked.
Irish reached out to touch it and then smiled, "My friend gave it to me." It was the blue diamond that she had just got yesterday, and it had not been polished yet. Joseph promised her that he would bring her to the polishing center, but he was afraid that she would lose it again, so he put it on a chain.
The man gazed at the rough diamond and asked, "Are you going to sell it? I will give you a good price."
"Ah?" Then Irish realized what he meant and shook her head, "No."
"Perhaps you can consider it. I can give you a high price."
"No, it has nothing to do with money. This diamond is important to me." Irish declined his request.
