Li Daniu was actually mentally prepared for Louis's inability to answer his own question.
The book he took out this time is "Harry Potter", which is said to be able to create a value of tens of billions of dollars. In addition to the global sales of this book exceeding 450 million copies, the seven movies adapted from it also set a new record. A very amazing box office results - 7.8 billion US dollars.
However, compared to the amazing value created by this book later, at the beginning, almost no one liked this book.
The original author, Sister Rowling, created this book around 1991, but the first part of this book was published in 1997.
Such a long time gap was not because the book was too difficult to write. On the contrary, Sister Rowling completed the first draft of the first book in less than a year. The reason why it took such a long time to publish is entirely because of Sister Rowling's contribution, which has always been ignored and received no response at all.
It was not until 1997 that a publishing house decided to publish this book. In the year of publication, this book surprised everyone and created a miraculous sales volume in the UK, which was then competed by publishers all over the world.
Many works, in the eyes of professionals, are not very good, but the market trend is beyond the expectations of professionals, and "Harry Potter" completely proves this point.
On the contrary, when the book "Lord of the Rings" was first born, it was regarded as a classic by everyone who read it, and was fascinated by the grand world created in it.
When Li Daniu took out this book, he also considered that it might be rejected by the publishing house. After all, Sister Rowling had been rejected for several years in a row. But he didn't expect that because of his "Lord of the Rings", Louis didn't even read the manuscript, and was willing to sign a contract with himself with a super high royalty of 60%.
"If you regret it, we can terminate that publishing contract." Li Daniu has always been so considerate. Of course, he will never admit that if Louis really wants to terminate the contract, then he will give up on Louis, never Take him to pretend again. Force him to fly.
"Regret, of course not." Louis exclaimed, and then explained: "I was just upset because of your diamond last night, don't worry, give me another night, I will definitely get you All the plots of the new book are memorized."
Although Louis is not optimistic about Li Daniu's new work, he is very optimistic about Li Daniu, and even if this new book may not be very good. But relying on the fan base established by "Lord of the Rings", sales should also be more objective.
It's nothing more than a question of earning more or less. Louis has already decided that even if he loses money to publish this time, he must maintain a good relationship with Li Daniu.
"It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not, as long as you don't regret it."
After Li Daniu chatted with Louis about the launch of the new book, Martin finally completed the appraisal of all the diamonds.
"Thank you." Li Daniu shook Martin's hand in a very leadership manner.
"It is my honor to serve you." Martin asked, "Excuse me, may I ask if you plan to collect these diamonds? Or do you want to dispose of them?"
"Of course it is disposed of." Li Daniu replied: "I was about to ask you, you are a person in this industry, is there any jewelry store you are familiar with that can take over this batch of diamonds?"
Martin wiped the sudden cold sweat from his forehead, and replied: "With all due respect, the value of your batch of diamonds is too huge. I believe that there is no jewelry company in this world that has enough cash to be able to Eat this batch of diamonds. However, I can introduce you to a few relatively powerful companies, and they each won a part of the diamonds, so there should be no problem."
"This is better. However, I hope that I can make a move as soon as possible. If we can meet today, it will be more perfect. You must know that it is very risky for me to hold so many diamonds alone." The value of the batch of diamonds is actually a bit vague. He just thinks that it should be at least tens of dollars, but he doesn't know the exact tens. If Martin said that he only introduced one company, he was afraid that someone would kill him for the price.
As for worrying about risks, Li Daniu was completely joking.
"If you don't mind, I can contact them now."
Of course Li Daniu didn't mind. After signaling Martin to make a call, he picked up Castro's records and read them.
Although he knew that the grading of diamonds was 4C, he didn't understand the detailed grading in 4C, so he only paid attention to the price analysis done by Martin.
Using his mobile phone to check the price of diamonds of a similar grade online, Li Daniu found that the price analysis made by Martin was very reliable, basically the same as the market price, and some even exceeded it.
And this batch of diamonds, the smallest one is more than five carats, worth more than one million US dollars. Some diamonds even exceed ten carats, and because of their high quality, the value of each diamond has reached more than ten million US dollars.
According to statistics made by Castro, the market price of these diamonds is about 2.3 billion U.S. dollars based on Martin's price analysis.
The reason why Martin completely analyzes the diamonds according to the market price is because Li Daniu's diamonds are all finished diamonds. To put it simply, it can be set on a ring casually, and it can be sold as a high-quality diamond ring.
For jewelry companies, such a diamond can be made into a diamond ring that can be directly auctioned with a little effort on the ring.
As soon as Li Daniu finished reading it, Martin had already contacted several jewelers. As a GIA appraiser, he still has some connections.
"I have already contacted, and there are three companies willing to come to Hollywood to meet today."
"Thank you so much." Li Daniu pointed to the diamonds on the table and said, "You pick it, and it will be your appraisal fee."
Professional appraisal institutions, especially world-renowned appraisal institutions such as GIA, have quite high appraisal fees. Normally, the appraisal fee for his batch of diamonds worth 2.3 billion US dollars is definitely in the tens of millions of dollars.
But because Martin didn't need to pass the GIA to issue an appraisal certificate this time, he was completely smuggling the order by himself, so the price is relatively cheaper.
When Louis contacted Martin before, he had already told Li Daniu that the fee for Martin's identification was 1/1000.
Seeing that Martin only took a diamond worth more than one million US dollars, which was not even one thousandth of it, Li Daniu said, "Don't be polite. Although you and Louis are good friends, there must be rules. You can take some more."
"That's enough. Our fee for appraisal is usually one thousandth. This, I believe Louis has already told you. But because the value of your batch of diamonds is too huge, I must give you Get a discount."
Martin came out to do the appraisal before, and at most one time, he only charged a $100,000 appraisal fee. This time, he only worked for more than an hour and earned a million dollars. How can he be dissatisfied?
Seeing Martin's insistence, Li Daniu was no longer polite, and directly signaled Castro to put away the diamonds on the table. Although he has more money now, he has more places to spend it. If he didn't know nothing about diamonds or people in the jewelry industry, he would never have invited Martin to spend such a waste of money. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com
At this time, it was almost noon. After Li Daniu invited Castro to a sumptuous lunch, he began to ask Castro to contact the American company that sells private jets.
"You need to buy a private jet?" Martin felt that today is definitely his lucky day. Not only did he make a lot of money from the appraisal of diamonds, but he could also get benefits if a deal was made later. Therefore, Martin is very concerned about his benefactor.
"Yes, do you have resources in this area?" Li Daniu was very curious. You, who are in the jewelry industry, can be related to the aircraft manufacturing industry?
"I met a boss through jewelry appraisal before. His current business is in trouble, so he has no money to buy a custom-made private jet. If you need it, it may be cheaper than buying it directly from the company. "
"What model?"
"It's Bombardier 6000, the most high-end private business jet currently on the market. As for the specific information, I don't know much about it."
Li Daniu immediately searched the data of this aircraft, and found that this aircraft was completely designed for himself, not only has a range of 11,112 kilometers, but also can take off and land in short distances, so there is no need to worry about the lack of runways at the current airport in Tuvalu.
As for other aspects, as the world's top private business jet, how can it be worse?
"Help me contact him, the price is right, I'll take over immediately."
"When would you like to see it?"
"Sell these diamonds in a while and go!"
Selling diamonds to buy airplanes, how does it feel like an African warlord? Martin sighed inwardly, and hurriedly made a phone call.
