Help all mankind

Chapter 12

As an idea emerged in his brain, Liang Shicheng felt that things might have a better turn.

There should be other ways to maximize the value of the failed rough diamond.

So he turned on the computer and searched for some information about man-made diamonds.

Although artificial diamonds are much cheaper than natural diamonds, the cost is not low.

The formation of natural diamonds comes from the high-temperature and high-pressure environment generated by magma inside the earth, and comes to the surface of the earth with volcanic eruptions.

The method of man-made diamond production is equally difficult. First, it needs to be produced under artificial high temperature and high pressure environment, and a small natural diamond must be placed in the center as a seed.

The production method of man-made diamonds is open to the public, but the actual process is very difficult. The artificial high-temperature and high-pressure environment is not easy to achieve. A huge precision instrument is needed to produce this kind of in the smallest space in the center. Conditions and efficiency are very low.

All in all, man-made diamonds are a newly emerging industry in recent years, constantly eroding part of the natural diamond market.

However, man-made diamonds still have many bottlenecks that cannot be broken through. First of all, the man-made high temperature and high pressure environment cannot be compared with the inside of the earth.

Therefore, man-made diamonds are not perfect. Its molecular structure is not the complete octahedral structure of natural diamonds. The arrangement is more irregular, which will produce phosphorescence, which can be easily distinguished by professionals.

Not only that, the technology of man-made diamonds cannot synthesize larger diamonds. At present, it is generally only possible to synthesize small diamonds of about 2 carats. In addition, there is always a certain gap with natural diamonds. Man-made diamonds can only occupy the low-end market. Traditional natural diamond companies have caused a fatal blow.

After Liang Shicheng learned a little bit about how to identify the quality of diamonds, he took out the amber version of the rough diamond with screws and button batteries in it. After comparing some details, he found that the quality of the rough diamond in his hand was still It's closer to a natural diamond, so I feel more confident about the bold idea in my mind.

De Beers is the world's largest natural diamond company, with a market value of approximately US$300 billion.

Thinking of this, Liang Shicheng searched for a De Beers company's email contact information, and then began to write emails.

[Dear De Beers Company

We are a technology company from China. The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you of a news.

It's about a new technological breakthrough in our company, and it may also affect your destiny.

Now our company has developed a completely new technology for producing artificial diamonds that is completely different from the market.

This technology can produce man-made diamonds without high temperature and high pressure, nor does it need to implant natural diamond seeds in the production process, and the cost is extremely low.

And it can also produce large 250-carat artificial diamonds, which are almost the same in quality as natural diamonds.

This technology is still in the experimental stage, and it is strictly confidential to the outside world. We only chose to disclose this to you quietly, and then hope to discuss the next development together.

In order to show our sincerity, we also prepared a sample specially for you, but you can rest assured that we will never pretend to be using natural diamonds, so we produced a synthetic diamond sample with screws and button batteries in it.

In order to prove that this diamond sample was indeed artificially produced in this era, the most central location is a button battery. At the same time, this also proves that we did not implant diamond seeds like traditional production methods. In short, our technology is brand new. of.

In addition, the button battery and small screws completely wrapped in the diamond sample are intact, not deformed or melted, which proves that we are using a production method under normal temperature and pressure.

After writing the email, Liang Shicheng opened Google Translate and used the software to convert the content of the letter from Chinese to English. This is an easy way. Although he often browses foreign websites, Liang Shicheng's English level is the kind of easy reading and writing. But the degree of unfavorable claim.

Then I took out my phone and put the rough amber diamond in my hand on a piece of white paper. I took two photos from different angles and uploaded the photos to the email. Finally, I sent it along with the content, and waited. Reply.

Liang Shicheng turned off the computer and felt nervous. The actual purpose of this email was to blackmail De Beers.

Some things don’t have to be stated, the other party can understand. If De Beers ignores or refuses to negotiate, then he will announce this kind of super man-made diamond to the whole society, causing the myth of diamond rarity to be shattered.

Although in reality Liang Shicheng does not have the so-called technology company behind him, he is just an ordinary social animal. What he has is only the inconsistency of the transfer from the system that fails to cause the rough diamonds filled with impurities.

But the few photos alone should have attracted the attention of De Beers. Liang Shicheng also found a piece of news. As the world’s largest natural diamond company, De Beers is currently spending huge sums of money to acquire those that are in the field of artificial diamonds. Prominent companies, in a sense, this move is to prevent problems before they happen.

Therefore, De Beers should be quite interested in the progress of other man-made diamond companies.

It was late at night after sending the email, Liang Shicheng ate a piece of Ezopiclone in a hurry, and quickly fell into the fragrance of dreams with anxiety.

I woke up early the next day and went to work as usual. At this time, the company had returned to the lifeless state. Seeing Liang Shicheng entering the office building, everyone deliberately showed the appearance of serious work.

After Liang Shicheng came to his office, turned on the computer, and then saw the email reply, the content was in English, he could directly understand the general meaning.

Dear Anonymous

Please continue to keep the results of this research confidential!Our company can provide you with any help at any time.

When you see this letter, our staff are sitting in front of the computer in turn and can reply to your email in time.

In order to facilitate further discussion, please send a staff member to bring a sample to our company headquarters for research.

Address Opposite to Lohill & Sons Bank, London...

After reading the content of the letter, Liang Shicheng continued to discuss other matters with the other party's staff via email. The De Beers company seemed very anxious and hoped to meet as soon as possible to avoid any problems.

After all, the fictitious company Liang Shicheng now controls the life and death of De Beers, I am afraid that the entire board of directors is in fear at this moment.

However, Liang Shicheng said that it would take a long time to apply for a visa in the local area, and he planned to delay a little time. In the end, they decided that De Beers would arrange the travel expenses and accommodation throughout the process.

And send one to meet under a certain landmark in the magic city, and his company will also send a representative to reach this position on time.

After discussing with De Beers in the mailbox, Liang Shicheng got up and went to his immediate superiors and submitted a one-week leave note on the condition that a large sum of money would be deducted from his salary.

Afterwards, he simply arranged the next tasks for his employees, and invited a friend to take the lead, then went home to pack up and set off.
