Chapter 87： poaching

In the afternoon, the representatives of the three jewelry companies contacted by Martin came to the hotel where Li Daniu lived.

After renting a small meeting room in the hotel, Li Daniu began to sell his own diamonds.

These three companies are all acquaintances of Martin, and they have great confidence in Martin's appraisal ability. Moreover, the three companies also brought their own appraisers, so there is basically no doubt about the value of this batch of diamonds.

Generally speaking, the bulk buying and selling of luxury goods like diamonds, except for those mines in Africa, requires legal proof of origin.

But Li Daniu's identity played a crucial role at this time. One identity is the king of Tuvalu. As a sovereign country recognized by the United Nations, although it is poor, it is a country after all. In the decades since the founding of the country, as the king of a monarchy country, it is acceptable to be able to collect such a batch of diamonds. .

Another identity is the author of the world-class bestseller "The Lord of the Rings", and the world-renowned Wall Street has already commented that Li Daniu's worth can reach two billion US dollars just by relying on this book.

Moreover, this kind of worth is different from the worth of general corporate executives. They are all stocks that are not easy to cash out. Li Daniu's worth obtained from royalties and copyrights is real, and it can even be said to be cash flow.

The two identities represent power status and wealth. Coupled with things like diamonds, it is different from jewelry that has already been formed. Even if these diamonds are really black market goods, there is no way to produce effective evidence.

The cutting process of diamonds is similar, and it is impossible for there to be only one diamond of a certain weight in the world.

So, even if everyone knows that every diamond is unique, how to prove that it is unique? The big deal is that after each diamond is bought back, it will be processed again. As long as there is a slight change, the black market product can become a real licensed product.

Jewelry companies naturally do not hesitate to buy such diamonds.

Although these three jewelry companies are not small, none of them has enough cash flow to swallow the entire 2.3 billion US dollars in diamonds. It can even be said that there is no jewelry company in the world that can take out 2.3 billion US dollars in one go. cash.

Because it was Martin who did the price analysis, Martin was more proactive than Li Daniu in negotiating with the three jewelry companies when they lowered their prices. Otherwise, if there is a big gap between the actual selling price and the price analysis he made, it will completely prove his unprofessionalism.

In just one and a half hours, Li Daniu's Swiss bank account received 2.27 billion US dollars. The reason why it was remitted to the Swiss bank account was because of Castro's suggestion that such income can be reasonably tax-avoided.

After having the money, Li Daniu took Castro and Martin to fly to Canada overnight. They had already made an appointment with the boss that Martin mentioned, and they went directly to Bombardier in Canada to see the plane.

As for Louis, he needs to stay in the United States to operate Li Daniu's new book.

On the plane, Li Daniu began to prepare to poach people.

"Martin, your appraisal ability is so strong, why do you have to stay at GIA? You can come out and go to a private company. Wouldn't your income be higher?"

"Actually, I am not only a researcher of GIA and a teacher of a jewelry appraisal school under GIA, but also a part-time appraiser for two small jewelry companies." Martin introduced: "If I want to increase my income, I can indeed go to Some large jewelry companies have invited me, but those companies are full-time. I still want to stay at GIA because I think I still have a lot of knowledge to learn.”

"Didn't Louis say that you are the teacher of the jewelry appraisal school under GIA?" Li Daniu felt strange, you are already a teacher, and you still need to learn?

"It's true that I'm the lecturer inside, but who said that the knowledge of the teacher is enough?" Martin said his major, his expression became serious: "The times are developing, and all walks of life have new technologies and crafts every day. It was invented, and jewelry appraisal is the same. Although I think that in jewelry appraisal, I can be a teacher, but if I don’t study hard and just rely on my laurels, I will one day become the group of people in this industry who earn a living.”

"And." Martin continued: "GIA is the most famous jewelry appraisal institution in the world. Apart from here, I really can't find any place to improve myself."

Li Daniu nodded in satisfaction. Martin's words not only proved his own attitude towards the industry he was in, but also proved his confidence in his own ability.

Listen, except for the most famous GIA in the world, no other place is qualified to let yourself study.

"I want to set up a jewelry company, do you have any good suggestions?" Li Daniu probed.

"Establish a jewelry company?" Martin asked strangely: "Why do you have such an idea? There may be a big gap between the profits of this industry and your imagination. For example, the few companies just bought After getting your diamonds, further processing, the market price of the finished product, plus the auction price of some high-quality goods, the final return should be about 3 billion US dollars. However, their 3 billion US dollars does not mean that they can receive it immediately back."

"Diamonds are processed into jewelry, which requires design and production, which takes a certain amount of time. In addition to this high-end luxury, the consumption capacity of the entire market is limited, and it cannot be sold out in a month or two. If Without mature sales channels, the interest on the cost alone can offset most of the profits."

What Martin means, Li Daniu has fully understood that if the company's operating costs are included, the investment of nearly 2.5 billion US dollars can only reap a return of 3 billion US dollars, and it is not known how long it will take. This kind of business is completely a large investment with a low rate of return.

Of course, this industry is also good, that is, the risk is low. Unless there is a sudden world war, or a huge diamond mine is discovered on the earth, the overall price will drop. But both of these are basically impossible things to happen.

For many wealthy people, they would not choose to invest in such a low-return business. After all, the essence of a businessman is to pursue high returns.

But for Li Daniu, the biggest cost of a jewelry company, the cost of raw materials, is close to zero, so how could he not do it?

Li Daniu already had an idea in his heart, the jewelry company mainly cooperated with the auction house. Li Daniu wants to build a world-class auction house in Tuvalu, so that rich people from all over the world will drive their own planes to Tuvalu.

Just like Monaco, another country smaller than Tuvalu, its land area ranks second to last in the world, only 1.98 square kilometers. However, the use of personal income tax exemption and racing cars has attracted rich people from all over the world, and then used the money brought by these rich people to develop tourism. The GDP has reached more than 6 billion U.S. dollarsIt is more than 600 times that of Tuvalu, and the per capita GDP has reached an astonishing 160,000 U.S. dollars.

Li Daniu feels that Monaco's development method is very suitable for Tuvalu.

"I understand what you mean, but I prefer the low risk of this kind of business. Moreover, I have a reliable source of raw materials and an absolutely mature sales method." Li Daniu didn't need to tell Martin too much, he just needed a Technical advisors with relevant knowledge and connections.

"So, are you interested in working for me?"

"It is impossible for me to quit my job at GIA full-time, if you can satisfy me, I think I can consider it."

Li Daniu smiled, he is not afraid of asking, but he is afraid that you will not take the bait.

"No problem, you can work part-time, but you can only work part-time in my company. In terms of salary, I believe you will be absolutely satisfied."

Moreover, Li Daniu is very confident about his current collection. If he puts those peerless jewels in front of Martin, he believes that Martin will not be able to refuse.

"I think we can talk about it in detail." Martin's interest came, and he said bluntly that he came out to work part-time just to make money. As for Li Daniu's current net worth, not to mention "The Lord of the Rings" and the status of the King of Tuvalu, just the 2.27 billion US dollars he just bought is even higher than the market value of the two small companies he works part-time .

Talk to the boss, either have money or potential. Li Daniu doesn't lack both, why doesn't he follow?

In addition, for the previous appraisal fee, Li Daniu made an aggressive move. Who doesn't like this kind of boss who is arrogant towards his subordinatesWelcome all book lovers to come and read, the latest, fastest, and hottest serialized works All in mobile phone users please go to read.
