Chapter 1360 1360. Tripartite Agreement (45)

As the name suggests, a joint warehouse auction is a joint auction of multiple warehouse companies.

This is relatively rare in auctions, because warehouse companies do not have a close organization like the Warehouse Treasure Picking Association, unlike treasure hunters, and the warehouse expiration time is not uniform, and the warehouse location is not uniform.

Li Du has been in this industry on and off for three years, but he has never encountered this kind of auction, and now he has finally bumped into one.

The scale of joint warehouse auctions is generally relatively large, and there are many hard goods auctioned during the period. Every time it is held, many treasure hunters will be attracted to participate.

This auction will be held in Tucson. Because of Tucson's geographical location and local cultural environment, relatively few people are willing to go there, so the possibility of getting a harvest will be higher.

There were still some days before the auction, Li Du agreed to come down, and was going to go to Tucson for a tour.

Before that, he had to pay attention to the situation of Shauu Island and Amanda Diamond Mine.

Sandgull Island is under construction, of course, it is only a very simple construction, drive away the snakes, build a small port, build houses, and build cement roads.

His old classmate Sunan is watching the construction of the island, and will tell him the progress of the project every day, and there will be weekly and monthly reports on weekends and at the end of the month, so everything is under his control.

All preparations for the diamond mine have been completed and diamonds will be produced soon. Winston Group assisted the mine in building a diamond production line.

But it is not enough to have a production line. Diamond production and sales are a very complicated project that requires a lot of professionals. Li Du can't handle this aspect by himself.

After some consideration, he called Cole Winston and Karestan Fitz and invited them to fly from New York to Phoenix.

In late June, the two tycoons landed at Phoenix International Airport.

Li Du went to pick them up, and he picked up Cole first, Cole wiped his sweat and said, "I must be crazy to visit Phoenix Stove at this time, or I want to cook a roast turkey."

"It's healthier to let the body sweat more." Li Du laughed.

Twenty minutes later, the special plane of the head of Fitz Mining landed, and Li Du swept in.

Cole and Callestan were very enthusiastic when they met again. The two went up to hug each other, and then discussed the market of golf and the global rare mineral industry.

But Li Du could sense their strangeness and indifference hidden under their enthusiastic appearance, and the relationship between the two was the same as before, and they would never be friends.

The two knew the purpose of the trip, and Li Du made it very clear on the phone that he couldn't manage the Amanda Diamond Mine by himself, and he wanted to find someone to cooperate with.

Winston Group has been engaged in the diamond industry for generations, while Fitz Mining has more contacts and experience in ore output. They are full of confidence in the operation of this diamond mine, and they all want to cooperate with Li Du alone.

Therefore, after a short warm greeting, they began to show their abilities from all aspects, trying to suppress each other as much as possible.

Li Du turned a blind eye to this, he took the two of them to the arranged resort hotel, and snapped his fingers, Godzilla brought out an ice bucket with bottles of vodka inside.

Opening a bottle of spirits, he said with a smile, "This is the good wine I brought back from the North Pole, you two, don't miss them today, be sure to taste them."

"You gained a lot from going to the North Pole this time, right? The mammoth ivory market has been hit by you. Whatever industry you really enter, you will make waves in that industry." Cole smiled after taking the wine glass.

Li Du shrugged and said, "It's overrated, Mr. President Winston, how much mammoth ivory do I put into the market? How will this affect the market?"

Callestan also said: "I have read reports that the amount of mammoth ivory produced in Siberia in the past two months is indeed enough. You must have found a mammoth burial site tens of thousands of years ago there?"

Li Du said: "It's not bad luck, but mammoth ivory is worthless, we should pay more attention to diamonds, right?"

Callestan winked and said, "You mean the Amanda Diamond Mine? It's your chicken that lays golden eggs, but if you can't feed yourself, I can help you. It's very simple."

"It's really easy, Li, the Winston Group has prepared a development team for you. As long as the mine is started, they can immediately form a fighting force." Cole said without showing any weakness.

Li Du laughed, this is the result he wanted.

He can't afford the Amanda Mine by himself. It is related to the mining, certification and sales of diamonds, and it must be managed through relationships. He lacks contacts in this regard, while Cole and Callestan have enough contacts.

But he only contacted one party, and it would be difficult for him to gain the initiative in cooperation. Now he contacted Callestan and Cole at the same time. The former was kicked out of the Winston Group by the latter, and the latter has always hated being calculated by the former. .

In other words, the relationship between the two is complicated and it is difficult to stand on a united front.

Under such circumstances, the two of them can check and balance each other, and Li Du can get the most profit from it by sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

After some negotiation, the three parties finally reached an agreement: Li Du let go of the mine's equity to the two, and the two invested in human resources, each holding 10% of the equity, and Li Du retained 80% of the equity.

In fact, if he is willing to work hard, Li Du can also open a mine and produce diamonds by himself. After all, if he asks Cole for help, Cole will not refuse to help him.

But he still decided that everyone would make money together. This share represents tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in annual profits. Carlestan and Cole have the money to take it, Li Du saves trouble, and each gets what he needs, which is a win-win situation.

Both Fitz Mining and Winston Group input the management team and sales team to the mine. Diamonds need to be approved by De Beers Group, and Callestan will handle this aspect personally.

By paying some money, Li Du can save a lot of effort.

For him, he has enough time to manage the mine, and he can keep the 20% of the income in his own hands, but that is not what he is good at.

He would rather use the time and energy to participate in the auction, even if he can't make more money in the storage auction, but this is a job he is good at.

While he was busy working in the mine, Sophie was not as eager to find a job after returning to Phoenix as before. She had a new job, which was to be an internet celebrity.

The Internet celebrity is not her, she is the manager, and the Internet celebrity is Ah Miao and his group of brats.

After Sophie accidentally posted some photos and videos on the Internet, it attracted a large number of fans. Facebook and Twitter happened to promote her videos, and then the cats became popular.

As early as when he was in Flagstaff City, someone gave him similar advice after discovering the intelligence and cuteness of Ah Miao and his party. At that time, he participated in the Boy Scouts selling biscuits, and Ah Miao performed outstandingly and was very popular.

But Li Du didn't take this matter to heart. In his opinion, cute pet internet celebrities are too far away from his world, and Sophie succeeded by coincidence.
