Osborne smiled faintly, “No need. Ignore him. I will teach him a lesson later.”
Then, Osborne and Alison also walked in.
It was the first time that Osborne saw the raw stone casino. Diamond raw stones from various old and new mines were piled
various old and new mines were p up randomly in the factory. Some of these rough materials were valued from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
They mainly mined raw materials.
They used machines to grind a small portion of the raw stone, which exposed the interior. This allowed them to assess the color and quality of the diamond inside visually.
Betting on raw materials was a very risky move. It depended entirely on luck.
If people judged the quality of diamonds based on the polished portion, the risk could be reduced, but the price was higher. Just revealing a bit of diamond portion could increase its price by tenfold or even a hundredfold.
The most expensive materials could cost tens of millions of dollars.
Alison whispered to Osborne, “Osborne, let’s take a look at the

polished material over there. Their probability of cutting out top–quality diamond is much higher.”
Osborne laughed and said, “Don’t worry. Let me see it all first.”
After saying that, Osborne quietly opened the Satan’s Eye. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Satan’s Eye could see through things. But Osborne was not sure whether it could see through the diamond stone and see what was inside.
Osborne wondered, “If I can’t see through it, I’ll have to find another way.”
But soon, Osborne felt relieved.
Those ordinary raw stones suddenly changed their appearance. in his eyes as if they were objects scanned by X–rays. The internal conditions were fully displayed to Osborne, like a 3D projection.
Osborne saw pieces of diamond from the raw stones.
Osborne whispered, “There is diamond in this rough material. But it is only the lowest grade diamond and is not worthy.”
“There’s nothing on this piece.
“There’s none of this either.
“This piece is good. There’s actually a fist–sized piece of ice. diamond inside. It’s pretty nice. Unfortunately, it has a lot of

cracks. It’s probably only worth a few hundred thousand dollars.
“It actually has glass quality. It’s a pity that it’s only the size of a thumb. If it’s made into a small pendant, it can be sold for a few million dollars.
“This piece…”
Osborne opened the Satan’s Eye and looked at each raw stone. one by one. He was looking for the top–quality diamond he needed.
Unfortunately, top–quality diamonds were scarce.
Suddenly, Osborne stopped in front of a piece of diamond rough material the size of a human head.
His eyes lit up with surprise.
This rough diamond material that was the size of a human head looked highly ordinary. Even the most professional and experienced raw stone master would ignore it.
But in Osborne’s eyes, the interior of the raw stone seemed dazzling.
Inside, there was an irregular diamond the size of a fist.
The quality of this diamond was such that 90% of it has reached the glass grade. The remaining 10% was even emitting a faint purple glow.

Osborne wondered, “It is the violet glass type of the diamond!”
Osborne couldn’t help but ask, “Osborne, what’s the price of the violet glass type of the diamond?”
“The violet glass type?”
Alison was stunned for a moment. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, “I haven’t seen the violet glass type for a long time. It’s hard to tell the price. But I once saw a piece of jewelry designed with the violet glass type. It weighed about 7.05 ounces and was worth 100 million dollars.”
Osborne’s eyes lit up. He thought, “7.05 ounces worth one hundred million dollars. The density of diamonds is about half that of steel. That fist–sized diamond must weigh at least 4.4 pounds. One– tenth is the violet glass type. It is precisely 7.05 ounces and worth one hundred million dollars.
This is just the price of the violet glass type. The remaining 90% is ordinary glass diamond. If all of them are entrusted to Alison to design into jewelry, the price would be at least one hundred million dollars or two hundred million dollars.”
Even though Osborne already had 660 million dollars in his account, he couldn’t help but feel his heart beating faster. He couldn’t suppress his joy.
He thought again, “This way of making money is too easy. Compared to the price of 200 million dollars, the price of this rough diamond is simply not worth mentioning. It only costs. twenty thousand dollars. But it is worth 200 million dollars.

I finally understand why people still try to buy raw stones in the casino even though they know that the opportunity is rare. But there really is a chance to get rich overnight.”
“Alison, I like this piece of raw stone. You buy it,” Osborne whispered to Alison happily.
Alison was stunned and couldn’t help frowning. “Do you really want to bet on the rough material? The probability of betting on the top–quality diamond from the rough material is probably smaller than winning the lottery.”
Osborne smiled slightly. He did not tell her the truth and said, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, we are here. It’s only 20,000 dollars.”
“All right.”
Alison did not try to persuade him. She wondered, “After all, Osborne is my leader. He owes the Luna Jewelry, which is worth a billion dollars. The entire company belongs to Osborne. He is just playing around with 20,000 dollars. Who would dare to say anything?
According to the profits of the Luna Jewelry, Osborne can make tens of thousands of dollars every hour.”
Alison asked the bodyguard to take the inconspicuous rough
stone.
Osborne continued to look for valuable diamond rough stones.
