Chapter 1118

Yellow millet porridge, egg pancakes of the same color, sour and spicy three silk pickles with green coriander and red pepper, and a plate of fried meat with pepper. Red and green not only look comfortable, but also taste better.

After drinking three bowls of porridge, eleven egg pancakes and half a plate of Pepper Fried Meat, Fang Yuan patted his belly with satisfaction and sighed with satisfaction: "Alas, this is the most warm life."

Infected by the big brother, the donkey is also full of happiness.

Of course, it had something to do with Laura stewing some ribs for it. After yawning, she walked lazily to the door and climbed down with her mouth close to the ground.

Different from the two brothers with good appetite, President Xia, who put his right foot on the stone table with a bandage, only drank half a bowl of porridge and an egg cake and put down his chopsticks.

As usual, Laura asked President Xia how much to eat or how much to eat. After she was really full, she began to clean quickly.

After the Fangyuan brothers came home, Laura's workload in cooking increased a lot, but she enjoyed it very much and hoped to do so all her life. When she got up in the morning, she was busy cooking for her family.

At 4:30 this morning, she received an overseas call from her eldest brother, telling her that there was a big fight less than two kilometers away from their hometown yesterday, and at least 80 people were killed. Fortunately, her family did not participate because they had no worries about their life.

Not far from Laura's hometown, there is a diamond mine that has existed for many years. It was mined by British and American colonists. It had been abandoned a few years ago (the diamond mining was clean). After an earthquake the other day, the left side of the mine collapsed and fell behind, and a new diamond mine appeared.

In order to compete for these diamond mines, thousands of residents around the mine who dare to kill if they can get a loaf of bread flocked to mine with self-made tools, regardless of the risk that the mine may collapse again.

There is no doubt that everyone wants to take the diamond mine as their own. Iron will have conflicts in the mining process, turn into conflicts, and finally escalate into fighting, resulting in the death of more than 80 people.

What makes Laura feel more sad is that after paying more than 80 lives, the people in her hometown did not get the diamond mine they bought for their lives - the final winner is the local armed organization supported by the white people.

No matter how many villagers are and how fierce their fighting spirit is, they are not the opponents of fully armed soldiers. They can only be driven away like stray dogs. They are eager to see the mine taken back again.

Brother Laura said that if she didn't send back enough money to her family every month, their brothers and sisters would certainly participate in the fight.

Fortunately, their family has a Laura to ensure that they don't have to work hard to survive.

Finally, the eldest brother conveyed the words of her parents and told Laura to do well in China. Don't worry about her family. She must listen to the boss and serve the boss wholeheartedly -- she is the only guarantee for the family with more than 20 people to survive.

There is no doubt that while Laura is proud of her success to the current level, she also has deep sadness, so she cherishes the present and enjoys the warmth of her family when she can concentrate on cooking.

"Laura, what's on your mind?"

Fang Yuan's habit of picking his teeth with his fingernails after eating a full meal made president Xia feel very disgusted and unwilling to talk to him at all. This made Mr. Fang who wanted to talk to her several times chat up and angry. It took a lot of effort to suppress the rush to put his teeth picking fingers into her mouth. When he saw Laura coming out of the kitchen, he immediately shifted his attention.

"No, No."

Laura, who was calm on the surface, was a little stunned after hearing the speech, and then shook her head to deny it.

"It's still early. Sit down and talk."

Fang Yuan raised his finger and pointed to the stone stool next to him.

In fact, it's getting late at this time. If it's put aside in the past, Xia Xiaoyun will have to go to work in five or six minutes, but she's the boss. As long as there's nothing important, let alone being late, who dares to take care of her?

"Really not."

Laura shook her head. She didn't want to tell the troubles at home.

Fang Yuan asked, "are we still friends?"

His words are a little heavy. They have the meaning of driving ducks to the shelves. It seems that if Laura doesn't say what's on her mind, they won't be friends.

"Laura, tell me about something."

Xia Xiaoyun said the same.

In fact, just at dinner, she noticed that Laura was worried.

As a qualified boss, when her confidants don't know how to eat, of course she has to show her concern. However, in front of the surrounding area, Xia Xiaoyun doesn't want to ask. She plans to talk about it on the way to the company.

Now Fang Yuan asked first. If she didn't say anything, it would be inappropriate.

Give enough trust and care to her confidant in exchange for her loyalty. This truth is very simple. Of course, a smart person like Xia Xiaoyun knows it very well.

Since the master also spoke, it would be bad for Laura not to say any more. She hesitated, sat down at the table, lowered her eyes and whispered the contents of brother's call.

Finally, she forced to smile and said, "hehe, in fact, my family is fine. I just died so many people in my old family fighting for ore. It's hard in my heart - Fangyuan, President Xia, I've always wondered why diamonds are so valuable?"

Before they could answer, Laura said, "when I was very young, I heard the oldest elder in the tribe say that diamonds existed many years ago, but no one took them as one thing and regarded them as a better looking stone. It not only can't eat or drink, but also can't have monetary value to circulate like gold, let alone any recycling value. But since the white man came to us, diamonds have become more valuable than gold. "

"Our elders said that this is the devil left by God in Africa and has been suppressed for many centuries. It could have been buried forever, but the white people released it and took too many African lives. "

Laura's eyes flickered with tears and looked at Xia Xiaoyun: "President Xia, you must know the origin of the blood diamond, but you can't imagine how many people died for it - the most intelligent elder in our tribe hasn't figured out how a stone suddenly became so valuable. What is more ironic is that this thing seems to be inexhaustible, but the price has never dropped a bit. "

"Hype."

Xia Xiaoyun just opened her mouth, but Fang Yuan spoke first.

"Hype?"

Laura looked around.

When Fang Yuan nodded, Xia Xiaoyun sneered: "hum, then explain to Laura how the diamonds were fired."

"It's about women."

Fang Yuan slapped his mouth and said faintly, "without you stupid women, diamonds are a pile of worthless stones. No one will pick them when they are thrown on the ground."

Xia Xiaoyun was unwilling and stared: "Fang, please be careful!"

History is not created by men's courage, but by women's vanity.

In other words, women born with vanity are the real masters of the planet.

Everyone knows that millions of years before mankind, dinosaurs dominated the earth.

Dinosaurs have lived on this planet for millions of years. Except for some fossils, they have not left any historical records. That is because their greatest ideal is to live with enough food and drink.

Like the familiar wolf, it will not attack the sheep when it is not hungry, because it knows how to maintain the food chain.

Since human beings, the planet has a history and began to be changed.

Not to mention the development history of other countries, but just the history of China, there are Daji in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Baosi in the Zhou Youwang period, Yang Guifei in the Tang Empire, and Chen Yuanyuan, the direct fuse for the entry of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

Many people say that we should not impose the responsibility of subjugation on these women. They are just tools at the mercy of men and scapegoats for the subjugation of the dynasty.

But has anyone ever thought that if these women could restrain themselves and know what they are doing, their country would not die, so many people would not die because of her, and history would not be written by them (the woman who can change the world pattern most is Princess Helen of ancient Greece, who eloped with Prince Paris of Troy, The one who started the Trojan War.

If those historical female celebrities in the past can not effectively prove that history is written by them, then it is modern.

I believe many people have heard such a saying: women who don't smoke have no past, and women who don't love jewelry have no future.

Who said that?

Chanel, the spokesman of luxury goods, is to make use of women's vanity and love of comparison to make their products sell well.

So are diamonds.

As the elders of Laura Tribe said, before the white people appeared, diamonds were just stones without any value. How did it become an existence that women tried to chase?

The existence of diamonds only proves how absurd the world is.

Diamond is also known as the most wonderful marketing scam in the 20th century.

At the beginning, for a long time after it was discovered, it was only an ornament for the Royal and noble to show off their wealth. The origin was fixed and the output was scarce.

However, in the late 19th century, South Africa magically discovered a diamond mine with an output of tens of millions of carats.

This is amazing. Those businessmen who invest in diamonds are completely ignorant: if these diamonds enter the market, the value of diamonds will be greatly reduced.

What shall I do?

When the businessmen were completely ignorant, a British businessman named Rhodes founded De Beers company in 1988, and diamond marketing began its century.

De Beers bought the whole diamond mine, then carefully controlled the diamond output, monopolized the whole diamond supply market, and controlled 90% of the trading volume in the market at the highest time.

These diamonds can be sold, of course, because of the existence of women.

However, it's not enough to monopolize the trading market. What worries De Beers most is that they know that women have strong vanity, like the new and hate the old. After they have owned good things for a long time, they get tired of playing, and start giving them away and throwing them away.

Diamonds are not consumables like food and vegetables after all. A diamond can live for a long time. Then the diamonds thrown away by ladies do not have currency liquidity. After being thrown away and given away, they will certainly affect the diamond market price.

How can these ladies not abandon them after buying diamonds?

De Beers came up with a wonderful move, which gave birth to the most shameless combination in the world: tightly combining love with diamonds.

Diamond is equal to beauty and eternity, and love is equal to beauty and eternity, so diamond is equal to love.
