Chapter 594
Seeing so many fire opals at once, Rogge and others were moved.
Li Du's words just now had enough impact on them, now that fifty-eight fire opals were revealed together, the impact would be even greater.
Rogge looked at these fiery red gems fascinatedly, he couldn't help reaching out to touch the edge of the box, and sighed softly: "It's so beautiful."
Li Du asked: "I wonder if your company has any intention of acquiring them?"
Roger swallowed with difficulty, forced a smile, and said, "Mr. Li, I don't think I can make the decision, please allow me to make a phone call..."
An old man among the three said: "Rogge, you don't need to make a phone call. No one can make the decision. Will you still buy high-end gemstones in bulk at this time?"
Another said: "Mr Tatiq, gemstone buying decisions are none of our business and should not be involved."
The old man Tatiq sneered, "I'm a shareholder of Harry Winston, don't I even have the right to make suggestions?"
He looked at Li Du with piercing eyes, and said: "Mr. Li, if I were you, with such a precious gem, I think I would look for a more reliable next home."
Upon hearing this, Rogge became anxious and said, "Mr. Tatiq, what do you mean? If you want to make trouble, please leave my office!"
Tatiq is obviously a bad tempered person. When Roger said this, he was very angry, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He said, "I'm making trouble? How dare you say such stupid things! If I didn't want to be in the same boat as Winston, I'll wait till now?"
Rogge lowered his hands and said weakly: "I understand, I understand, I don't intend to question your love for Winston Group, I just want to say that I need to entertain Mr. Li now, can you avoid it?"
Tatiq got even angrier, and said, "Are you going to drive me away? Roger, as long as I'm still a shareholder of the Winston Group, you have no right to drive me away!"
Roger suppressed his anger and said, "I'm not driving you away, Mr. Tatiq, I just hope you can avoid it for a while, so as not to delay my business negotiation."
Tatiq said coldly: "Do you still have money to do business?"
Rogge was at a loss for words for a moment, his expression was quite embarrassing.
Li Du's heart moved. Judging from Tatiq's attitude and words, what the taxi driver said on the road seems to be groundless?
Roger softened his tone and said slowly: "Mr. Tatiq, I know you are very dissatisfied with the group's recent resolutions, but I can't help it, you know, I can't help it, can you please leave first? We'll talk about your problem later."
Tatiq was aggressive, and sneered: "Let's talk about it later? Wait until after what? Wait until my shares are worthless?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he continued: "I know you can't do anything about the group's resolution. You are just the director of the Las Vegas area. We are shareholders and we can't do anything. What can you do?"
A white man in his sixties stopped Tatiq and said, "Okay, old man, stop talking, now is not the time to talk about our affairs."
Tatiq said: "Norman, how long are you going to hold back? Our shares range from 20 million to 10 million to 5 million, and maybe even less. Will you continue to hold back?"
The white man Norman frowned tightly, and sighed: "I'm not holding back, but we should avoid suspicion at this time."
Tatiq shook his head and said: "No, I don't want to avoid suspicion, to be honest, Rogge, I know you want to buy these gems, then in front of your distinguished guests, give us a promise, when will our shares be realized? "
Rogge said helplessly: "Mr. Tatiq, I don't have the authority I promised you. You know, I'm just the regional director! I don't have that much authority!"
Tatiq insisted: "You have, how much is my share discounted now? Five million? Five and a half million? You don't even have the authority to repurchase this share? No, I don't believe it!"
Hearing this, Li Du understood that these people should be the minority shareholders of Hai Rui Winston, and they wanted to sell the shares back to the group and take away the cash.
Although Hai Rui-Winston is a top jewelry group, it is not listed, and the group's shares have been circulating among shareholders and the public.
The three obviously owned some shares, and they might have also heard the rumors of the bankruptcy of Harry Winston. They wanted to sell these shares, but they couldn't find anyone to take them over, so they wanted to sell them back to the group.
He was listening here, and things started to get chaotic later on.
At first, the other two minority shareholders thought he was here and didn't speak. As Tatiq complained more and more, the other two couldn't help it anymore, and started firing at Rogge.
Li Du looked at Da Ao and Godzilla at the door, and they looked at him stupidly, with a dazed look on their faces: What's going on? They don't want to do business anymore?
Tatiq complained: "Rogge, you have to cash it out for us, damn it, the group is getting more and more stupid, look what they are going to do?"
"If you don't do a good diamond business, what kind of watch business should you do? What kind of Xiyunjia Watch Group, what kind of watch specialty store is opened in Hong Kong? Is this crazy?"
"We are good at diamond jewelry, not diamond watches. Do they think this market is easy to enter? Do they think Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Haojue, and Breguet are soft bones?"
"Cash it out for us. The Harry-Winston Group is going to collapse. Damn it, I don't want to wait until that day. I don't want to invest all my pension money into it!"
The three complained one after another, and Rogge's voice seemed weak: "We have just started the watch business, since 1978. Hasn't our watch business developed very successfully?"
In 1978, the founder of the group, Harry Winston, died in New York, and his eldest son Ronald Winston became the new head of the company.
Ronald had a special affection for watches and clocks since he was a child. After taking over the company, with his enthusiasm and expertise in precision machinery, he worked hard to perfectly combine jewelry and watch design. Founded in 1989 the watch department.
Tatiq said angrily: "Don't be stupid, Roger, you know how bad our watch business is! Now not only watches, but also clocks? It's so funny!"
"What's the name of the watch series launched this time? Jewelry that tells time? Listen, we old guys don't have much time. Give us back the money that belongs to us, and let us enjoy the rest of the time..."
"Rogge, things are getting worse. You know the situation of the group very well. You didn't buy shares. This is the right choice, but we all have shares. I don't want to wait until the group goes bankrupt and becomes penniless." tramp!"
"Yeah, when the time comes, you can pat your ass and leave, go to Graf, go to Tiffany and continue to be your director, what about us? We old guys are going to become homeless!"
