1994 A Shandong woman found a diamond while she was plowing the land. That is a big diamond weighing 34.69 carats. The woman changed hands and sold it for 270 thousand, but she was finally taken to court. What the hell is going on here? What is the final outcome?
On April 28th, 1994, Wei, who lives in Tancheng County, Shandong Province, went to work as usual. It was early morning and the sun had just risen. There is a faint red light in the hazy fog, which is the light of the rising sun. Wei came to Jinjiling's own field with a hoe and began to be busy all morning.
As soon as the hoe went down, a red stone was thrown out, which caught her attention. Small stones, but shining, crystal clear appearance is very hard. Wei didn't think much, so he picked up the stone and put it in his pocket to continue farming. When she got home at night, she remembered this unusual stone and took it out to play in her hand.
After seeing it, her husband Chen Huaiming suspected that it was the legendary "diamond". Chen Huaiming, who works in the city all the year round, heard that diamonds are crystal hard, so he decided that they are diamonds. The next morning, Chen Huaiming got up early, took diamonds to the city and found a jewelry store for identification. Sure enough, under the expert's appraisal, this stone is a diamond weighing 34.69 carats.
The couple were ecstatic and began to talk about it when they returned to the village. Soon everyone around knew that Wei and his wife had dug a diamond, and soon a businessman came to buy it. But the couple knew that diamonds were valuable, so they didn't make a move. At the same time, in order to sell a good price, I also asked Chen Huaiming's uncle to help spread the news, but who knows that this has caused a huge disaster.
1 June, 1994, Daya Diamond Development Company expressed its intention to buy diamonds, and paid a deposit of110,000 yuan to Chen Huaiming's uncle in advance without the knowledge of Chen Huaiming and his wife. In mid-June, 70 1 Tool Factory found Chen Huaiming and offered 270,000 yuan to buy diamonds.
Considering that 70 1 is a state-owned enterprise, the price given is relatively high, so Chen Huaiming sold the diamond for 270,000 yuan. Originally, this was a perfect thing, but soon Daya Diamond took the Chen Huaiming couple to court on the grounds of fraud. As Daya Company paid the down payment, Chen Huaiming sold the diamonds to others, which constituted the crime of fraud.
Chen Huaiming, citing ignorance, thinks that his uncle received the deposit, so it has nothing to do with him, but a dispute between his uncle and Daya Company. 70 1 also joined the ranks of helping Chen Huaiming with the lawsuit. This farce was entangled for a long time, and it was not until the local management joined in that the whole incident was reversed.
1995, the local court issued a judgment to Chen Huaiming, holding that diamonds are national resources, and no one has the right to own them and should be returned to the country. Therefore, the agreement between Daya Company and Chen Huaiming was invalid, and Chen Huaiming returned the deposit of 1 1,000 yuan. At the same time, 270,000 yuan was returned and the diamonds were nationalized. Chen Huaiming and 70 1 Factory * * * jointly bear the litigation costs.
This result made Chen Huaiming very unwilling. Afterwards, he continued to appeal to express his dissatisfaction. Finally, considering that the diamonds were discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Chen Huaiming, the local government rewarded them with 30,000 yuan in cash and a certificate of honor, and the matter was settled in this way.
