Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

"Oh, brother, I see your machine is all assembled. When are you going to start refining pills?" the monkey asked impatiently.

"You've got the wrong channel! Do you think this is an alchemy furnace?" Everyone laughed and teased him, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"Senior, look, how are these two machines being debugged? Have all the raw materials arrived?" Zhou Jiahui had just thrown his suit in the office and changed into the same work jacket and helmet as his senior.

After realizing that these so-called "angel investors" were not the traditional business elites, the senior student relaxed a bit and smiled, saying, "All the conditions are in place, and we can start work at any time."

Zhou Jiahui actually took out his phone and checked the almanac. "Hey, today happens to be an auspicious day. Why don't we seize the day and try starting the furnace now?"

After thinking for a moment, the senior student looked at the group of "investors" with bright eyes and said, "Well, that's not impossible."

In the factory workshop, Zhou Jiahui and his senior, along with several workers, got busy. Together, they inspected the machine's microwave system, cooling system, motion system, detection system, air circuit, water circuit, and control system, ensuring that all systems were in good working order and ready to start operation at any time.

The senior student took out a tray from the office, which contained small resealable plastic bags filled with some transparent sheets.

"This is the matrix used for deposition. Diamonds grow on this matrix." Zhou Jiahui picked up a piece of the matrix from the resealable bag with small tweezers and showed it to everyone.

"What material is this?" The object on the tweezers was so small that even with their eyes wide open, they couldn't see it clearly.

“It’s just diamond flakes, otherwise how could diamond be deposited on it?” Zhou Jiahui gently placed ten substrates in the equipment tray. “Okay, for this test run, we’ll put in a few at a time. Just wait and see.”

The senior student and the workers closed the equipment incubation chamber together and turned on the switch. As soon as the power was on, the equipment started up with sparks and lightning.

"Brother, can I ask how much it costs to manufacture a one-carat diamond with this equipment?" someone asked cautiously.

Zhou Jiahui looked at his senior and slowly extended two fingers.

Everyone took a deep breath. "Two thousand?"

"No, we've estimated that we can do at least two hundred."

Everyone's eyes lit up with anticipation as they looked at the machine.

"Of course, this is the ex-factory price of the rough diamond. We still need to cut and polish it. Currently, the price of a one-carat lab-grown diamond on the market, depending on the grade, is between two thousand and ten thousand."

Everyone looked at the machine with even greater eagerness. They felt that the arcs of electricity flashing in the observation window were shimmering with golden light, and looked incredibly beautiful no matter how you looked at them.

"Brother, can the diamonds produced by our diamond-making machine get GIA certificates?" someone asked.

"Sure, why not? Both lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are crystals composed of pure carbon atoms. Their crystal structure, physical properties, chemical properties, and optical properties are essentially the same. They cannot be distinguished with the naked eye; only professional equipment can differentiate them."

Our factory will apply for certificates issued by the world's three major diamond grading agencies according to the customer's needs.

By the way, you should know that it's not just our country that's heavily investing in the synthetic diamond industry; Europe and India are investing far more than we are.

Most of the CVD machines produced in our country are exported.

"Those foreign businessmen are the ones who have no sportsmanship. Be careful when you go to Europe to buy jewelry, especially diamond jewelry," Zhou Jiahui warned.

"Hey, I can produce diamonds myself now, why would I need to go to Europe to buy diamond jewelry? I'll gradually sell off the big diamonds I have and buy other things instead," a friend in the crowd said very honestly.

After visiting Zhou Jiahui's factory, the group of friends enthusiastically invested in and purchased diamond machines.

Some students with a lot of pocket money would buy one or two on their own, while others with less pocket money, like Xiao Tang, who only had 500,000 yuan, would buy one together with two other people.

With plenty of "pocket money" and lawyer Xia by her side, Xiaomeng directly invested in twenty of the latest model machines, drafted a business cooperation contract on the spot, swiped her card to pay 20 million, and immediately became a major shareholder of the small factory.

If she weren't unwilling to personally manage production and operations, the title of Chairman Zhou Jiahui would have been directly given to her.

Holding the contract, Zhou Jiahui stared at the bank payment notification on his phone, feeling a bit numb. "You really don't need to discuss this with your elders. Maybe your family wants to send someone to join the board of directors?"

"There's no need to discuss this small investment so much, brother. Just focus on getting our machines back quickly so we can get to work as fast as we can."

"I'm still waiting for the custom diamond jewelry made with our own machines." Xiaomeng cheerfully handed the contract to Xia to take back to the law firm for processing. "Oh, by the way, brother, I like colored gemstones, remember to add some colorant to my diamond machine, okay?"
