Paris, Europe.
Things in South Africa had not gotten to this point yet, but there were already some signs of marriage. For example, when they entered a jewelry store, they would definitely be buying diamond rings here, unlike people from the East who were willing to collect gold, Westerners still preferred diamonds. Although there were some comments on the internet telling these people that diamonds were of no great use, these people still liked to buy diamond rings, which had something to do with the propaganda of the Diamond Group back then.
Originally, the price of a diamond ring was around 1500 to 2000 euros, and ordinary citizens could still afford it. Their wages could afford it for a month, but now it had risen to 2500 to 3000 euros, and this was already their wages for a month and a half, or even two months' wages. This made them a little surprised, and they also asked why the prices of the raw materials had increased, but they had not heard any news about it recently.
However, the young lady who sold them also told them that it was absolutely impossible to lower the price because the notice had already been posted in Africa, and the company that controlled all the diamond ores had already said that the price must rise by 30%. Because the mining conditions were harsh, the world would not have that many more diamonds in the future, so the price could only rise as the prices became rarer. Most people were clear that if even someone was not clear about this, then it would be a problem for their brains, so many people still chose to buy the diamonds since it was a sacred matter in their hands.
Regarding these people's choices, the salesgirl must have explained it to them first, and then seeing that they really didn't have the desire to buy, she could only take them to the nearby gold production area. There might be something they need here, so you can't possibly marry without buying anything, right? It's just that the profit of gold is not as big as that of diamonds, but at least it's just water that doesn't flow from the outside world. As long as you spend your money in our store, we can all make a certain amount of profit here, there's absolutely no problem with that. In any case, as long as you spend money, we will have a certain amount of profit.
They also have their own thoughts on the situation in Europe, if our jewelry shop could be sold regularly, even at a slightly higher price, we would still be able to get a decent profit now, but the main company has not given us any orders yet, the main company's thoughts are very clear, we have to make the majority of the Jewelry Company fall behind, if we start selling at this moment, their representatives in South Africa will definitely take action, those people aren't idiots, of course they will continue to buy diamond ores, and at that time, they can also quickly transport the diamonds to Europe, which will be shared by everyone. This is something Li Tian definitely wouldn't do.
Originally, Qin Bing's movements in Europe were very fast, little by little, but now that they have become a regional acquisition, after the local group's funds arrived, all the enterprises in Europe could not hold on. If it was still the same as before, they would not even be able to pay him next month's wages, and it was precisely because of this point that Lee Group threw out the purchase plan when they were in a difficult situation. These purchase plans might not be useful to them at the moment, but at least these people left their plans behind.
"Boss, this is the result we obtained yesterday, buying 43 Jewelry Company s in Germany, but these Jewelry Company s don't have much power in the local area, we can only say that they are some of the second-tier local enterprises, as for the local first-tier enterprises, when we send these plans over, they have basically closed their doors as well, they gave us a long story, saying that they are all old hundred-year-old shops, and will not be bought by us, our buyers are also being treated rudely, if we do not bring enough security, it is very likely that we will suffer a loss here, do we still need to purchase tomorrow? "If we really are going to buy them, the security will have to keep up. These people are already angry, I'm afraid they will push us." Qin Bing's secretary came in to report on his recent work.
Qin Bing basically knew about all of these things, during the afternoon television and conference, many people had reported to their boss, if they were to continue buying, then there would probably be chaos in Europe, including all these large groups, they did not want to sell their hard work, although they were in a difficult situation running, but they were still looking for a way to resolve it, many of them placed their hopes on the Russian Diamond Group, thinking that the Russian Diamond Group was one of them, but when Li Tian threw the person in charge of the Diamond Group out, all these people did not have any other thoughts, since this road did not clear, they had to continue looking for other methods.
"Pass my message, tomorrow's acquisition will continue, no matter what the final outcome is, no one can delay our acquisition plan, as for the security, I will ask for assistance from the headquarters, we also have many security guards in Europe, if the number is not enough temporarily, but we can spend money to hire security guards, anyway our acquisition plan can't be slowed down, now the Diamond Summit has reached a tense moment, every minute the head company saves for us, it's like we have money in hand, the country has given up so many real estate projects, if we want to earn money, we have to use those real estate projects at home, but now all the money supply to Europe means that our expectations for the company definitely can't go down at a time like this." Qin Bing said resolutely.
The secretary noted everything down by the side. In the group, Qin Bing was called the Iron Lady, many people were not convinced at first, but now they all understood, it was not just the wife of the chairman, when he was doing business in Hong Kong all those years ago, we all did not know what it meant to do business, but now he has come to Europe to purchase at a much faster pace than others, and it was just because of this that if other organizations wanted to acquire his, they definitely would not be able to do so quickly, and it was precisely because of this that the voices in the company were less and less suspicious, and Qin Bing would soon be promoted to Vice President. This time, it was like giving her a chance to him.
As for the issue of funds, his secretary immediately thought of another problem. At the moment, the major banking groups in Europe were not cooperating with them, but the domestic banking groups were in constant contact with them, such as the domestic banking groups with numerous institutions in Europe. They had already sent several groups of people to act as lobbyists, they had a lot of capital in their hands, but there was no way for them to cooperate with the European companies. Although this was a Caucasian territory, we could still reap a lot of benefits if we worked together.
As for the problem passed down by the banks in the country, it is not something that a small private corporation like us can consider. You should understand by now, although the Jewelry Group is already big enough, the entire Lee Group is a self-made system, all of our funds must be transferred with the approval of the headquarters, if there are no documents coming down from the headquarters, we cannot make contact with these banks, and you should not think of them as good people. The strongest people in the world are these bankers, so if they want to take advantage of us, our brains are together, they are definitely not their opponents. Qin Bing shook his head.
Although there are problems with the funds now, the main company has already helped them out. If they were to rashly cooperate with the various countries' banks, at that time, it is very possible that they would fall into their trap, so Qin Bing does not plan to cooperate with the various countries' banks, even if they are our people, they are also not willing to cooperate with them. In terms of using the funds, the banks have all kinds of interest on their loans, and when the time comes, the interest payments would be a burden to them.
Recently, Qin Bing had been feeling extremely tired. Ever since he came to Europe, the two of them had not had any time to rest, and last time he was here with Li Tian, the two of them had been able to go for a stroll, but now, Qin Bing didn't even have the time to do so. 24 hours a day, it was filled to the brim with people meeting the chairmen of large groups and meeting with the bosses of small jewelry organizations.
Originally, she thought that it was just a small group, but now that she had acquired a few other entertainment groups, she had already developed her own reputation in terms of movies and television. If she did not work hard at this time, Liu Shanmei might have surpassed them, but Liu Shanmei has one disadvantage, no matter how big his entertainment group is, it will never surpass Jewelry Group. This is the difference between the two industries, and at the end of the day, one movie only has a few billion yuan at the box office.
also had his own thoughts. If Liu Shanmei was not willing to continue to be part of the entertainment group, then in the future, it was very possible that he would join another group, the Supermarket Group had already formed their own system, the Jewelry Group was expanding, and Qin Bing was the weakest link, so when Qin Bing was expanding outside, it was very likely that he would make Liu Shanmei take charge of his own business in the country. Therefore, Qin Bing would definitely not let Liu Can Wei succeed, the first reason was to speed up his own business, and the first was to prevent Qin Bing from being part of his own people.
They had all come to a compromise with the Diamond Group on the fourth day, making them the first group in the world to purchase diamonds. Therefore, these people had obtained a preferential condition, whether it was the 30% increase in price or the various restrictions on the price, they had all accepted it, thus, Li Tian gave them a preferential condition, and that was that in the second half of this year, they could buy diamonds at the original price, but it would only be limited to the people who bought diamonds in the first batch. When Li Tian's declaration came out, all the other Jewelry Group s in Europe would be furious.
"These people really don't shed tears until they see the coffin. They even have to go to the Diamond Association to complain. I don't even know what kind of organization the Diamond Association is. It is just a civil organization, how can it harm our guild?" If that's the case, then there's nothing to discuss. Raise the price of the diamonds by 10%, and send my message, if anyone dares to make a private transaction, then let them disappear in Africa, let our action team leave, at this time, we cannot blow the air-conditioning in the hotel, and this is our most important moment, no matter who we catch, as long as they dare to make a private transaction, we can make them disappear from this planet. " Li Tian had also entered a state of heavy fighting.
He knows that the higher the price of diamonds, the more private transactions there will be in Africa, including some associations in various countries, they all rely on the trade of diamonds to survive, many of them want to live their lives in such a way, many of the warlords have already signed an agreement with the Diamond Group, if you all go against the agreement at this time, then there is nothing much to talk about, our army is already on the move, if you really dare to do so, then tomorrow, this territory of yours will not be your fault, your territory has many people that can exercise your ability, furthermore their ability is not weaker than yours, what's more important is that they can't cooperate with us, your people do not have a place like us in the Diamond Group.
"Boss, please rest assured, our people are already prepared on the transportation line, as long as they dare to violate our rules, our people will definitely give them a heavy punch. Yesterday, we discovered two private transactions, but the volume of their transactions is not a lot, they have already trapped us in the dungeon, if the boss wants to, he can definitely use them as a show. Since these people want to conduct private transactions, they can also disregard their own lives, so we can use this opportunity to create a few terrifying incidents in which our bosses can clearly see that they have a lot of assets all over the world, they are unwilling to throw their lives here, so there is no doubt that we can use a lot of them here." Because a lot of things happened in Africa, Sun Qiang came back from the Middle East.
Although Li Tian also wanted to continue on the Middle East side, but the things that happened here made people anxious, especially the armed forces. Initially, I thought that with the promotion of a few new people, but unfortunately, the new people did not have any way to take charge of things, so I could only bring Sun Qiang back. After Sun Qiang returned, they vigorously reorganized the armed forces below and kicked all the bad habits out of the place.
We are not a charity. Since they have violated our rules, you should think of a way to use them to create fear, there are many jewellers in South Africa, I think they all thought the same way, since we can't buy any regular diamonds here, they can buy some diamonds with blood in the hands of those armed men. If that's the case, then we should just let them buy some, and let your people follow them well, and don't do anything to them. Li Tian said in a very domineering manner.
If it were any ordinary person, they would definitely not have such a mentality. Just fighting against these people would make them the enemy of many mercenary organizations in the entire world, and these people would be able to come up with money at any time, if they were to fight against them, who knows how many mercenaries they would hire, but for Li Tian, these mercenaries have no way to stand firm in Africa. There were Li Tian's people everywhere, so when these mercenaries appeared, they could have been captured the moment they appeared.
"Since we have the boss's words, then the following matter is much easier. We don't have anything to be afraid of, we're just afraid that the boss will think we've gone too far. In fact, these European diamond merchants aren't looking for trouble, if they hadn't formed an alliance at the beginning and didn't join hands to boycott our diamonds, how could we have ended up against them now?" We should be the best partners. When they did this thing, they did not give us any face, and now we don't need to give them any face, these people have fallen into our hands, we can only blame their bad luck, if they really smuggle these diamonds out, that would be an important blow to our group, maybe a lot of them will learn from it, so we have to punch them hard. " Sun Qiang gave people a very strange impression.
This was something that he had never thought of before. Li Tian looked at Sun Qiang with a bit of surprise, and at this time, Sun Qiang felt a little embarrassed, it seemed that the impression he had of the past was not that good, if not, the boss would not have such a look, and Sun Qiang had the feeling that no matter how strong his body was, as long as he had a strong mind, he could make the majority of the decisions, but after staying in the Middle East for a while, Sun Qiang realised that it was not okay to do this, it was better to change his mind as an old man.
From the first time I saw you, you've been acting like a simple-minded person, not saying a word about the company's decisions. If I gave you a specific order, your completion rate would reach 100%, if I gave you a vague command, you might complete it for me in the end. Although it's not that big of a mistake, but I don't dare to give you big of a thing, or maybe you just feel like I'm not treating you as a brother, which is actually your own misunderstanding, I'm afraid that you've misunderstood the company's business, but from today's conversation, you should be in the Middle East. The two of them had been brothers for years, so there was no need to hide their words.
It was up to him how to speak now, Sun Qiang touched the back of his head in embarrassment. He found his own love in there, it was a beautiful local girl, but this girl was a very smart girl, so Sun Qiang couldn't do it the way he used to, like he wanted to bring his own spear to his door, although this girl was a normal family in the area, simply unable to stop Sun Qiang's attack, Sun Qiang still felt that there should be a beautiful love between them, so Sun Qiang started to train his own brain, turning himself into someone with brains. This was also what the girl had told her, if you only had physical strength, then you would not be able to do anything after you grew old.
When Sun Qiang said these words, Li Tian was even more surprised, there was actually someone who could change this fellow. Back then, when he saved this fellow from the Great Mage, Li Tian had wanted to change him, because at that time, Li Tian did not have that many people on his hands, so this guy could be considered one on his own, but no matter what Sun Qiang did, this guy did not do anything to make him happy, other than increasing his own abilities, he did not have any other improvements. Even in terms of training his disciple, he was far from Liao Zhongcheng.
