Scheming White lotus (20): Where did Gu get so many diamonds?

The sales of gold in the old city have skyrocketed, making peers extremely envious.

Chu Zhan even felt that Gu Juntian’s move to put himself in a desperate situation was a brilliant move.

Although the profit from Old Town Gold would decrease after sending out so many diamonds, its sales had indeed increased, which could bring huge cash flow to the Gu family.

In this way, Gu’s company would not lack funds, and there won’t be any cash flow problems in the short term.

This should be the trick that Old Man Gu came up with for Gu Juntian.

Ginger is indeed still as spicy as ever. Although Old man Gu was sometimes confused, when he was clear-headed, he could still come up with strategies for Gu Juntian.

Old Master Gu was still being open-hearted with Gu Juntian.

How come he didn’t have such a good grandfather?

Chu Zhan was increasingly jealous of Gu Juntian and wanted to imitate the Old Town Gold by organizing a similar event of buying gold and giving diamonds.

The price of lab-grown diamonds had indeed come down, and the production was not low, but in the short term, they would have to raise prices to buy a large quantity of diamonds.

If studying Gu’s theory required a large amount of funding, some people might not be willing to do it.

There were many shareholders and management members in the Chu family, and many of them were on the opposite side of Chu Zhan.

One of Chu Zhan’s uncles said, “Chu Zhan, you’re targeting the Gu family for Cheng Mingyan, aren’t you? You’ve already caused us to lose a lot of money, and you still want to continue… Are you out of your mind?”

Chu Zhan said expressionlessly, “My actions against the Gu family are for the future of the Chu family. Over the years, the Gu family’s market share in gold jewelry has been increasing year by year, while the Chu family’s market share has been declining. We need to find a way to suppress the Gu family.”

Everyone present knew that Chu Zhan was dealing with the Gu family not for Cheng Mingyan, but for profit.

But some of them, from the very beginning, didn’t want Chu Zhan to succeed.

If Chu Zhan succeeded, he would become the heir of the Chu family, which was not good for them.

In that case, they would definitely “frame” Chu Zhan.

“People are saying that you’re going after the Gu family to get back at Cheng Mingyan. This can’t be just a baseless rumor.”

“I heard you personally gave the Cheng family quite a bit of money?”

“How easy is it to acquire the Gu family? If it’s not for Cheng Mingyan, why are you targeting the Gu family? In my opinion, acquiring the Cheng family makes more sense.”

“Exactly, that company of the Cheng family has way more problems than the Gu family!”

……

Chu Zhan knew that at this point, no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he didn’t argue with them. Instead, he said, “Right now, Old Town Gold has made a big splash with their ‘Buy Gold, Get Diamonds’ promotion. If we don’t do anything, our gold jewelry sales will plummet this Spring Festival. For the sake of market share, we should probably do a similar promotion.”

He previously smeared Gu Juntian and Gu group, hoping to make Gu Juntian overwhelmed and causing Gu group’s stock price to plummet.

Who would have thought that Gu would take this opportunity to expand the fame of Old Town Gold?

People always want to get a bargain, and claiming “factory closing, clearance sale” has always been a great promotional tactic.

Gu used this method.

Nowadays, the internet was full of news about how the new president of Gu’s didn’t know how to manage, the company lacked funds, and Old Town Gold could only hold big sales to recoup funds.

Who wouldn’t be moved after seeing it?

Gold is a hard currency, and the people of their country had a love for gold that was ingrained in their very bones.

Right now, Old Town Gold was having a gold sale, and some people who originally didn’t want to buy gold were going to buy it!

If they didn’t hold events, who would buy their gold?

But the other members of the Chu family did not agree: “You want to hold an event, but where are the diamonds coming from?”

“Gu’s ability to do this is because they have their own synthetic diamond cultivation base, but we don’t!”

“With so many diamonds, where are we supposed to buy them? Where’s the funding coming from?”

……

When the Gu family first started this activity, they conducted an investigation to find out where Gu’s diamonds came from.

The result was that it was something they cultivated themselves.

Previously, Gu Juntian took a lot of Gu family’s funds to buy equipment. At that time, many people in the Gu family were dissatisfied, and they thought Gu Juntian was being very foolish. Now that they thought about it, maybe Gu Juntian had already planned this out!

They were already prepared, but they rushed in trying to follow the trend. If they weren’t careful, they might not only fail to ride the wave but could end up crashing!

Of course, there were people standing on the opposite side of Chu Zhan, and naturally, there were also people standing on Chu Zhan’s side.

Everyone held onto their own opinions, and after a heated debate, they could only go ask Chu Zhan’s grandfather to make the final decision.

Chu Zhan’s grandfather said, “Doing it this way will make people hate us. We might as well not do it.”

Synthetic diamonds had been around for a long time, and their prices had been continuously dropping, but they hadn’t really made their way into the lives of ordinary people. The jewelry industry had been consistently promoting the benefits of natural diamonds, tracing their origins to prove their value.

This is because many people don’t want synthetic diamonds to take away their jobs.

Those who spent a lot of money on natural diamonds in the early years also find it hard to accept that their diamonds are now worthless.

Gu Juntian suddenly organized this diamond giveaway event, as if diamonds were worthless. There would definitely be many people who would be upset and end up hating him.

The people of the Chu clan, upon hearing Old Chu’s words, immediately felt a bit of schadenfreude.

Old Chief Chu continued, “Gu Juntian won’t be able to keep this up for long either. The equipment for cultivating synthetic diamonds is quite expensive, and the speed of cultivating synthetic diamonds is very slow. Even if the Gu family has their own synthetic diamond cultivation base, their reserves won’t be too large. They won’t be able to keep this activity going forever.”

Indeed, Gu Juntian would only cause trouble during this Spring Festival holiday at most. It couldn’t go on forever. If the Chu family could hold out for these few days, it would be fine.

While those who made money from natural diamonds target Gu Juntian, they could still enjoy the spectacle of the Gu family.

A group of people started flattering Old Master Chu, and Chu Zhan watched them, secretly sighing.

His grandfather was getting older and more timid, and now he will miss the opportunity.

After technological innovation, the industry would inevitably undergo changes sooner or later.

The person who dares to be the first to eat crabs might just soar to great heights.

Gu Juntian might be able to lead the Gu family to glory.

Such thoughts emerged in Chu Zhan’s mind, but soon, he brushed them aside.

Gu Juntian was just a love-struck fool, completely smitten by a two-faced, scheming man who was solely out to exploit him for money. How could someone like that possibly have such grand plans?

He probably just recently acquired too many shares, and his funds were insufficient. He really had no choice but to team up with Old Man Gu to come up with the idea of “giving diamonds.”

Chu Zhan thought so, and so did others.

However, the reality was completely different from what they imagined.

Gu Juntian had already planned to do this shortly after he traveled through time.

To this end, he purchased equipment, improved the methods for cultivating synthetic diamonds, and stockpiled a large quantity of diamonds.

Diamonds of one carat and above were all cultivated by the Gu family’s diamond cultivation institution; they had stockpiled a lot of them. As for diamonds below one carat, he procured them from the market.

Small diamonds were actually quite cheap. He didn’t care whether they were synthetic or natural, as long as the price was right, he bought them up and had stockpiled who knew how many.

Besides hoarding diamonds, he also prepared a large amount of gold jewelry; otherwise, the Gu family’s gold jewelry wouldn’t be enough to sell!

The day before New Year’s Eve, Gu Juntian gave a big red envelope to the people who were carrying out this plan with him and even celebrated a bit in the company conference room.

“I originally planned to hold a celebration banquet for everyone to have a meal together, but organizing that is too much trouble, and drinking is bad for our health. So I suggested that we skip it and just give everyone some money instead!” Gu Juntian said to his employees while sitting at the head of the conference room.

The employees cheered. 

It was almost the New Year, and there were already many social gatherings. As workers, they didn’t want to increase their social obligations.

Opening a thousand worth of drinks for them was not as good as giving them a thousand in red envelopes.

“However, I have prepared a small gift for everyone. It’s the Brilliant Series diamond jewelry just released by Holy Emperor. You can wear it yourself or give it to someone else,” Gu Juntian said.

Since the production of synthetic diamonds had already increased, his Holy Emperor could now release a series of synthetic diamond jewelry!

The Brilliant Series was the first batch of synthetic diamond jewelry launched by the Holy Emperor.

All the jewelry in this series was designed by Zhou Qinghao. Gu Juntian planed to use this as a starting point to make Zhou Qinghao the top jewelry designer in the country.

The people in the conference room all knew that the company had been preparing to launch the Brilliant series of jewelry during this period.

The Holy Emperor was taking the high-end route. Although the Brilliant series jewelry used synthetic diamonds, the price was very high. Gu Juntian gave it to them as a gift, and they liked it very much!

After giving out the rewards, Gu Juntian discussed the work arrangements with these people.

“Previously, we gave some well-known bloggers diamonds and had them shoot videos of buying jewelry in the Old Town Gold and receiving diamonds, which received widespread attention. Next, we can talk to these bloggers and have them create another video asking the Holy Emperor for help in designing various accessories made from the diamonds they received.”

“You can also use this opportunity to promote the Brilliant Series, letting them include the Brilliant Series jewelry in the video.”

“Holy Emperor is a domestic high-end jewelry brand, and this point needs to be emphasized! Nowadays, people are increasingly fond of supporting domestic products.”

……

The power of online promotion cannot be ignored.

The sales of Old Town Gold had actually already increased before the diamond promotion. The reason for this increase was that Gu Juntian had people design many rings with “wealth-attracting” elements.

Among them, a gold ring made up of interlocking small coins had become a bestseller.

It happened this way because they hired influencers to advertise, claiming that wearing this ring on the right middle finger could attract wealth.

Young people nowadays don’t usually believe in ghosts and gods, but if they hear about something that brings good fortune, they might just give it a try.

Speaking of which, the success of their diamond giveaway event this time was also because of the increased popularity of the Gu family.

They really had to thank those who criticized the Gu group. Without them, where would Gu group get so much traffic?

However, speaking of this matter, people online were still saying that the new president of the Gu family was incapable of managing the company and was very wasteful. Should they address this?

Someone brought this matter up with Gu Juntian.

Gu Juntian said, “It’s a baseless rumor, there’s no need to specifically clarify it.”

It wouldn’t be long before those people realized that he was not incapable.

The more he was mocked now, the greater the shock would be for the people when the situation reversed in the future.

Maybe it will trend again.

It was all free traffic, why not take it?

He was even willing to stoke the fire, previously he had pushed this matter, making people think that he couldn’t manage the company and had no other options, which was why he gave the diamond.

“President Gu is magnanimous!”

“If Mr. Gu doesn’t mind, actually making people think this way is quite good!”

“In the future, Mr. Gu will surely amaze the world!”

……

Gu Juntian was too generous; they didn’t mind saying a few good words about him.

Of course, they said these things because Gu Juntian was really awesome.

You should know that the machine used by the Gu family to cultivate diamonds was personally improved by Gu Juntian!

If it weren’t for the fact that Old man Gu was lacking an heir, which led Mr Gu to learn management, and if Mr Gu had entered the research field, he might have become a top researcher, shining brightly in the field of science.

They heard that Mr Gu, in addition to improving diamond production equipment, also upgraded other equipment used for synthesizing gemstones, and even developed several alloys that were not available on the market.

Gold is very soft and not suitable for setting in jewelry. They often use 18k gold for setting jewelry, which contains 75% gold and the remaining 25% is other metals. This is actually an alloy.

The alloys that Mr Gu made were not all suitable for making jewelry, but it was ultimately not a mistake for him to develop in this direction.

They heard that Mr Gu was still synthesizing a special type of diamond, but that project was confidential, so they didn’t know the specifics.

But no matter what, the diamond industry was destined to undergo a dramatic transformation.

Not only were synthetic diamonds now of very high purity, but they were also getting larger and cheaper.

Who knew, one day, they might even embed a big diamond on top of the Gu group building.

“Alright, it’s about time, everyone go back. I need to clock out too and head home for the New Year,” Gu Juntian said with a smile.

Today was the last working day for Gu before the Spring Festival; tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and Gu would not be working.

The people in the design department were all waiting for the end of the workday.

In the morning, they had already finished various wrap-up tasks, and in the afternoon, they gathered together to drink tea and chat.

“After Huo Pinghai left, the atmosphere in our office has really improved a lot.”

“He complains about everything all day long, it’s a bit annoying.”

“The company lost a lot of people, but as a result, efficiency actually improved… I heard from the sales department that they are all very grateful to Chu’s. Chu’s took away the troublemakers from their department!”

While chatting, someone asked Zhou Qinghao, “Qinghao, recently Old Town Gold has been giving away diamonds. Where does our company get so many diamonds from?”

Zhou Qinghao said, “I’m busy drawing every day, so I’m not clear about these things.”

Gu’s diamond, he knew exactly where it came from.

Gu Juntian had already told him while having dinner.

But these things, he wouldn’t tell anyone else.

The colleagues in the design department didn’t doubt Zhou Qinghao’s words.

Zhou Qinghao’s current speed of producing pictures was really fast. He was fully focused on this, so he definitely didn’t have time to deal with other matters.

Moreover, even if President Gu liked Zhou Qinghao a lot, he wouldn’t talk to Zhou Qinghao about too many company matters.

Only Manager Zhong didn’t believe Zhou Qinghao’s words.

President Gu had already said he wanted to marry Zhou Qinghao, and they were living together. How could Zhou Qinghao not know about President Gu’s matters?

As for Zhou Qinghao saying he was busy drawing every day… others might believe it, but Manager Zhong did not.

Don’t think he didn’t know. During this period, Zhou Qinghao not only left work on time but also never brought work home!

He could only say that Zhou Qinghao’s work efficiency was too high!

He really envied Zhou Qinghao, envied Zhou Qinghao’s talent, and also envied Zhou Qinghao for having strong support from President Gu.

The people in the design department were chatting and then started talking about the Brilliant Series again.

The jewelry designed by Zhou Qinghao was strongly promoted by the company, and they were so envious that their eyes turned red.

But he was Mr. Gu’s boyfriend, and he was very talented. They really couldn’t compare.

“Qinghao, did the company adopt that set of ancient-style jewelry you designed recently? After the Brilliant series, are you planning to release a separate series?” someone asked.

They designed jewelry, but rarely created traditional styles. Although in recent years, with the popularity of Hanfu, more and more people were buying traditional-style jewelry, modern-style jewelry was still relatively more popular.

Not long ago, Zhou Qinghao had a burst of inspiration and designed a set of ancient-style jewelry.

Just looking at the design drawings of that set of jewelry, they thought it was very beautiful, but they assumed the company would leave it unused.

Even Zhou Qinghao himself didn’t expect to see the finished product.

But after Gu Juntian looked at the design drawings, he took his design drawings away.

According to Gu Juntian, he was trying to synthesize a special diamond. Once that special diamond was synthesized, he would use it to make his set of jewelry.

“Mr. Gu said that set of jewelry won’t be available for a while,” Zhou Qinghao said.

“That jewelry is really beautiful and very elegant. It’s actually perfect for celebrities to borrow and wear on the red carpet,” someone said.

Zhou Qinghao smiled and didn’t say anything.

He had designed quite a few pieces; the Brilliant series would be mass-produced and sold, but there were also some pieces that used precious gems to create unique jewelry.

Gu Juntian had already contacted some celebrities, lending them the jewelry he designed so they could wear it on the red carpet.

Gu Juntian had been nurturing him and caring for him very much.

Zhou Qinghao felt that after getting to know Gu Juntian, he had become better and better.

Not to mention anything else, his body was much better now, and he had gained quite a bit of strength.

It was just that he still couldn’t beat Gu Juntian.

Everyone was chatting when Gu Juntian came in from outside.

Although people online were discussing Gu Juntian, saying he was a prodigal son and that the Gu family business would eventually collapse under his management, the people of the Gu group thought this was all nonsense.

Anyone who had actually met their president wouldn’t think like that!

Mr. Gu was tall, handsome, and exuded an imposing presence; the aura of a domineering CEO was impossible to hide.

Just by his appearance, it made people inexplicably want to trust him.

Moreover, the decisions he made at the company, although they caused some turmoil, clearly made Gu’s much more vibrant than before!

“Qinghao, it’s getting late, let’s head back,” Gu Juntian said.

He was here to pick up Zhou Qinghao.

Here, they placed the most importance on New Year’s Eve. For tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve, he planned to stay at home and spend quality time with his family. The same goes for the Spring Festival the day after tomorrow.

Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, he would go to the research institute to continue studying his special diamond.

Now, he could already cultivate very small, special diamonds, but he couldn’t produce finished products large enough to be used for jewelry.

He needed to improve the equipment a bit more.

As for how to improve…

Actually, he was able to improve the diamond cultivation equipment before by relying on the new alloy he developed himself.

The equipment he bought had some subpar metal materials on it, but once he replaced them with the metal he synthesized, it worked perfectly!

Further improvements in other areas… Their machines had significantly increased the speed of diamond cultivation compared to others.

Now, the new alloy varieties he had developed were more than before, allowing for further improvement of the equipment.

In the days before, besides purchasing equipment, he also hired some professionals in the field of machinery. Now that he was going home for the New Year, those people were still busy at the Gu Group research base.

At the current pace, it wouldn’t take more than a month for the special diamonds visible to the naked eye to be cultivated.

When those special diamonds come out, Holy Emperor would definitely become famous and turn into a well-known jewelry company!

Gu Juntian was full of confidence about the future.

He was also very satisfied with his career.

Although Zhou Qinghao persistently seduced him, he held his ground, resisted the temptation, and continued to shine in his career.

On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Gu Juntian, as usual, got up early and went to find Zhou Qinghao.

Zhou Qinghao’s door was open, but Gu Juntian did not go in. Instead, he stood at the door and asked, “Qinghao, are you ready?”

Previously, when he came to find Zhou Qinghao, he saw that Zhou Qinghao’s door was open, and since Zhou Qinghao invited him in, he went in.

Then he saw Zhou Qinghao, who was naked.

Zhou Qinghao was really working hard; he needed to be careful, lest one day he accidentally fell into a trap.

That was a good thing for him, but it might hurt Zhou Qinghao.

“Here!” Zhou Qinghao came out of the room and gave Gu Juntian a speechless glance.

Gu Juntian was so naive and cowardly that he didn’t even dare to enter his own room now.

However, this kind of Gu Juntian really made people want to tease him a bit.

Zhou Qinghao thought to himself, then stepped forward and grabbed Gu Juntian’s hand: “Brother Juntian, do you want to come to my room tonight? We can watch the Spring Festival Gala and celebrate the New Year together?”

Here he came again! Zhou Qinghao was back again!

Gu Juntian changed the subject: “Qinghao, I’m not working today, so let’s skip the run and go for a walk nearby.”

Zhou Qinghao said, “Brother Juntian, you haven’t answered my question yet!”

Gu Juntian sighed, “Why do you always think about these things? We haven’t even gotten married yet!”

Zhou Qinghao was immediately stunned upon hearing Gu Juntian’s words.

Gu Juntian added, “Even if we get married, you can’t keep dwelling on this matter. It’s not good for your health, and when you get older, you’ll suffer.”

Zhou Qinghao’s eyes inexplicably felt sour, and he suddenly wanted to cry.

He held back his tears and managed to put on a big smile.

He always knew that Gu Juntian valued him, but he never expected that Gu Juntian had been rejecting him all along because he wanted to wait until marriage.

Marriage, ah, what a wonderful word it was!

He really wanted to marry Gu Juntian, very, very much.

But he had always been very anxious, fearing that one day Gu Juntian would no longer want him.

Now that Gu Juntian had mentioned marriage and even expressed concern about his life in old age, Zhou Qinghao wanted to hug Gu Juntian and give him a kiss.

If he wanted to do it, just do it. He jumped up and hugged Gu Juntian: “Brother Juntian, you are so great, I really love you so much!”

Gu Juntian had just wanted to say “I know” when he was kissed.

A wonderful New Year’s Eve, starting with Zhou Qinghao taking the initiative to kiss!

Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao kissed for a long time before taking Zhou Qinghao for a walk.

This city was located on the southern coast. It got a bit cold in winter, but not excessively so.

The two of them were outside, walking and chatting, talking about a lot of things.

Zhou Qinghao only took a good look at the environment around the Gu family at this point.

The house where the Gu family lived was in an older neighborhood, and each building in the neighborhood was a standalone luxury villa.

These villas were not arranged in a neat row; they were integrated with the community landscape, standing in a staggered manner among the flowers, plants, and trees, creating a unique and charming scene.

“This neighborhood is really beautiful,” Zhou Qinghao said.

Gu Juntian agreed, “Indeed, now in the city, they don’t allow building such villas anymore.”

The house they lived in, with the front and back yards combined, was about 200 square meters, and the house itself occupied around 400 to 500 square meters.

Such houses still existed in more remote areas, but in the city, they had long been prohibited from being built.

This was purchased by Old Man Gu over twenty years ago when the original owner was still a child. The original owner grew up here, and Cheng Mingyan also lived here.

Gu Juntian knew Cheng Ming Yan well; at six or seven in the morning, he was definitely still sleeping and wouldn’t be out, so he and Zhou Qinghao won’t be disturbed.

Indeed, they went for a walk outside and only encountered a few elderly people practicing Tai Chi in the neighborhood.

These elderly people, upon seeing Gu Juntian, all smiled and greeted him, “Xiao Gu, long time no see.”

“Xiao Gu, your family’s gold jewelry has been selling quite well lately!”

“Xiao Gu, is this your boyfriend?”

……

Recently, there had been all sorts of ridiculous rumors in their neighborhood, saying that Gu Juntian was a heartless man who had wronged Cheng Mingyan, saying that Gu Juntian’s boyfriend had been bullied in the Gu family, saying that Gu Juntian was mismanaging the company and that Gu group was on the verge of bankruptcy, and even saying that Gu Juntian had spent a lot of money buying shares and diamonds and was about to go bankrupt…

These people didn’t believe a word.

Gu Juntian and Cheng Mingyan had always had a bad relationship. The engagement was just something the Cheng family said; they never even saw the engagement banquet. How could Gu Juntian be so heartless and ungrateful?

Gu Juntian’s boyfriend, they hadn’t seen him being mistreated. The Gu family always took him along when they went out, and it seemed like they got along well.

As for Gu Juntian not being able to manage the company… These old-timers once gathered together to analyze the Gu family’s actions during this period and felt that Gu Juntian’s abilities were far greater than they had imagined.

They, the founders of the family business, thought that if their descendants could maintain the family business and be good managers, that would be great.

Previously, in their eyes, Gu Juntian was seen as someone capable of maintaining the status quo.

But now looking back… Gu Juntian not only had the ability to maintain his achievements, he could also expand his territory!

When Old Man Gu was still around, he didn’t show his abilities, but as soon as Old Man Gu stepped down, he immediately began to reveal his talents.

Old Man Gu was so lucky to have such a grandson!

“Yeah, this is my boyfriend, he’s a designer.” Gu Juntian introduced Zhou Qinghao to them.

Zhou Qinghao greeted these people with a smile.

He only cared about Gu Juntian, not about anyone else.

He used to be afraid of facing Old man Gu because Old man Gu was Gu Juntian’s grandfather.

Now, he wasn’t even afraid of the old man, so naturally, he won’t be afraid of anyone else.

The people in the neighborhood saw Zhou Qinghao being poised, clear-eyed, and eloquent, and all thought that Gu Juntian had good taste.

There were a few younger ones who said that Gu Juntian’s partner was after his money and had questionable character, but now that they’ve seen the real person, they felt that Zhou Qinghao was completely different from what they were told.

This person was quite good-looking!

Cheng Mingyan was someone they watched grow up. As a person, he was fine, but in terms of looks, he really couldn’t compare to Zhou Qinghao.

If it were them, they would also choose Zhou Qinghao.

Gu Juntian chatted with them for a while and then left with Zhou Qinghao.

And not long after they left, an old man strolled over.

He chatted with the elderly people who were exercising in the morning and learned that Gu Juntian had just left. One of the elderly people said, “If I had known, I would have come earlier!”

Others were curious: “You want to meet Gu Juntian? Why?”

The old man said, “It’s nothing much. Didn’t he take out a lot of diamonds this time? I just want to ask him where those diamonds came from. How come he still hasn’t finished delivering them after so many days?”

Diamonds are actually widely used in various cutting tools, in addition to being made into jewelry.

In fact, the large quantities of synthetic diamonds produced by their country before had all been used to make various tools.

Now, Gu’s group suddenly taking out so many diamonds to give away was quite astonishing. If Gu group’s synthetic diamond cultivation base could produce diamonds in large quantities, then certain industries might have to place orders with Gu group for diamonds.

“Isn’t it said that the Gu family raised it themselves?”

“The cost of those diamonds shouldn’t be low. Xiao Gu is also losing money this time but it’s worth it!”

“My old lady went to Gu’s and bought over a million worth of gold jewelry all at once, just for the pigeon egg that Gu’s gave her… Seriously, that diamond is super bright!”

……

Everyone started chatting, and the old man who was curious about the origin of the Gu family diamond joined the conversation.

As for how the Gu family’s diamond came to be… after the New Year, let the curious people go ask the Gu family themselves.

Right now, the New Year was the priority.

Actually, it was not just this old man who was curious about the origin of the Gu family diamond.

A jewelry company suddenly produced so many synthetic diamonds that even the national authorities were curious.

Their country’s synthetic diamond production was the highest in the world, but it seemed they had underreported their own country’s diamond production.

However, Gu’s company did purchase a lot of synthetic diamond cultivation equipment, and they had been cultivating synthetic diamonds for many years, so they didn’t take it too seriously.

The New Year was coming soon. After the New Year, go ask the Gu family!

Gu Juntian did not know that many people were curious about the origin of the Gu family’s diamonds.

He spent a perfect New Year with his family and Zhou Qinghao.

This New Year, he didn’t take Zhou Qinghao for strength training, but he still got taken advantage of by Zhou Qinghao.

He was very satisfied.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Qinghao took Gu’s father, Gu’s mother, and old man Gu to the amusement park, while Gu Juntian, with a bitter smile, headed to Gu’s diamond cultivation base to study the cultivation methods of special diamonds.

During the New Year, the employees at the Gu group headquarters building all went home to celebrate, but at this research base, people were coming and going, and many were busy working.

As soon as Gu Juntian walked in, many people came up to ask questions: “Mr. Gu, I’ve encountered a problem here!”

“Mr. Gu, the newly developed alloy has been tested, and its ductility is extraordinary!”

“Mr. Gu, there was a bit of a problem on my end…”

……

After Gu Juntian traveled to this world, he immediately came here to take a look.

At that time, the people here didn’t really take him seriously and didn’t pay much attention to him.

But over time, their attitude towards him completely changed.

Their president Gu was clearly a research talent whose career was delayed by the domineering CEO.

Look, it had only been a little while, and they had already figured out so much!

Gu Juntian said, “You all take your time, I’ll solve them one by one.”

He was going to start working, striving to synthesize the special diamond he wanted as soon as possible!

The new type of diamond that Gu Juntian planned to synthesize was called hexagonal diamond, also known as lonsdaleite.

On Earth, there actually exist naturally occurring hexagonal diamonds. They are very beautiful and can quickly absorb light energy and then slowly release it. For example, they absorb light energy during the day and continue to release it at night, resembling the legendary night pearl.

Hexagonal diamonds, like regular diamonds, are composed of carbon elements. They are hexagonally symmetrical, which is why they are called hexagonal diamonds.

Because the light it emits is harmless to the human body, it can be worn with peace of mind and is a top-notch material for making jewelry.

Actually, foreign research institutes have already artificially cultivated hexagonal diamonds, but the hexagonal diamonds they produced are very, very small and cannot be used to make jewelry.

Gu Juntian wanted to synthesize larger hexagonal diamonds; such a beautiful “pearl of the night” would surely astonish the world!

At that time, use this kind of diamond to create the jewelry designed by Zhou Qinghao!

Zhou Qinghao’s design was so beautiful, only such gems were worthy of it!

During the New Year holidays, the Gu group had no work that required Gu Juntian’s attention, so he devoted himself entirely to the research institute, focusing on studying the cultivation methods of hexagonal diamonds.

Gu Juntian studied for several days, and the stores in Old Town Gold selling gold had gone crazy selling it.

When the ‘buy gold, get diamonds’ promotion first started, many people were unaware of it, but now, more and more people knew about this promotion.

Right now, it was just the time for the New Year, and many people had some spare cash. Gold jewelry was different from other types of jewelry; it was very valuable…

Many people rushed into the old city to buy gold jewelry.

Those who planned to get married preferred to buy jewelry made of Old Town gold.

In the past, buying a one-carat diamond ring would cost fifty thousand. Now, if you went to the old town and spent fifty thousand, you could not only get a one-carat diamond but also a piece of gold jewelry worth fifty thousand. It was a great deal!

As for the Old Town Gold, it came with a diamond. If you wanted a ring setting, you needed to spend extra money to make one… A simple style ring setting cost just a thousand bucks, it was really cheap!

After more people started buying, there were also more people showing off their diamonds online.

After more people started showing off diamonds online, even more people began buying gold!

This ultimately formed a virtuous cycle.

Gu Juntian suddenly realized that the funds on their company’s books were a bit excessive.

This event could be extended for a while.

The diamond cultivation equipment was very expensive, but when in use, it mainly consumed a lot of electricity; other cost could be ignored.

Simply use more and cultivate a bit more diamonds, so their diamond cost would be even lower.

Gu’s diamond cultivation facility was continuously growing diamonds, while the people outside were already dumbfounded.

Where did the Gu family get so many diamonds?

The country couldn’t sit still anymore.

At first, they didn’t take Gu’s gift of diamonds seriously, thinking that Gu’s funds were about to run out, and he was just making a desperate move, sending a few diamonds and then stopping.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the Gu family had been sending it for half a month.

All over the country, even in some towns, there were Gu’s stores, and the number of diamonds they had given away was astonishing.

Diamonds, besides being used for jewelry, are also important industrial materials. The production of these things was something the country had to keep track of!

Where did the Gu family get so many diamonds from?

No way, they had to go ask!
