Chapter 928 927. It Was a Neighbor (15)

Cole introduced the two parties. The people in the room are all major shareholders of Harry Winston, and they are almost all over fifty years old.

Among these people, Li Du has the third largest shareholding, the first is Cole, who owns almost half of the shares, and the second is Callestan Fitz, who owns 14% of the shares.

The two of them, together with Li Du, constitute more than half of the Winston Group, and the other eight together only have about 20% of the shares.

Li Du felt that the one who was hostile to him was Karestan, a refined middle-aged man who looked refined and wore glasses.

He didn't think much about it, thinking that it was because his shareholding amount threatened Kalestan that the other party didn't feel too cold about him.

Besides, he was quite popular in the office, because he almost saved the Hai Rui-Winston Group, as well as the equity in everyone's hands.

If the Winston Group really goes bankrupt, their losses can be measured in tens of millions.

Everyone had a great time, except Kalestan, who was aloof. He didn't participate in the topic very much, but he didn't show indifference, and occasionally said a few words.

This is his great strength. Rich people at their level, unless there is a particularly unbearable conflict, no one will attack each other head-on.

However, everyone is smart and has no sensory impairment or other problems, so Callestan's performance quickly made everyone realize that he doesn't like Li Du.

Cole was also aware of this, and he was worried that Li Du would quarrel with Karestan due to his youthfulness.

So taking advantage of the spare time, he explained to Li Du in a low voice: "There was some misunderstanding between Kalai and you, and the misunderstanding has not been resolved now, so you should be more lenient to him."

Li Du didn't care about the relationship between the two at first, but after hearing Cole's words, he became puzzled: "There is a misunderstanding between the two of us? What misunderstanding? I didn't buy equity from him, did I?"

From the standpoint of the Hai Rui-Winston Group, the only thing that Li Du did that was not very honest was to buy the shares held by some shareholders of the Winston Group.

But this is too common in the capital market. The other party is willing to sell and he is willing to buy. This is something that no one can blame each other for.

Cole shook his head and said, "It's a problem between neighbors. It's a coincidence that Calle is from Phoenix. His family is still in Phoenix. His two sons live in a villa in the Green River Valley."

There is no need to say the rest, Li Du suddenly realized and was dumbfounded at the same time.

What a coincidence!

He had already experienced many coincidences during his visit to New York this time, but as the old saying goes, there is no book without a coincidence. He did not expect so many coincidences to happen.

Cole explained: "His two sons insisted that you brought someone to kidnap them. Calle wanted to sue you at the time, and I mediated after I learned about it."

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly: "I thought Carleigh believed my words, but it was a misunderstanding. I didn't expect him to still have a grudge in his heart."

After hearing these words, Li Du understood.

It's no wonder that after he clashed with his neighbors, the other party was obviously quite powerful, but they didn't hold them accountable.

Even when the dog was lost behind him, the bad-tempered neighbor boy did not come to look for it, but left the villa instead.

According to Cole's words, he guessed that Callestan should have dissuaded his son, and in order to avoid conflict with him, he took his son away from the villa.

Li Du was at fault for this, even though he could insist that he did not do it, the other party had no proof anyway.

However, he can insist on saying this verbally, but in fact he knows in his heart.

Li Du felt a little depressed, but he did this. Brother Wolf and Big Ivan taught these young people a little too much.

But the incident was caused by the young people. They made mistakes first. Parents and the police could not persuade and educate them. So in order to protect himself, he can only educate the other party himself. What is there to say?

He insisted that he was right about this matter, so since Callestan had an opinion on him, let him continue to have an opinion, and Li Du didn't care.

He asked Cole for more important matters, and asked, "Does the group have diamond reserves now? If there is, and the group is willing to sell, I can introduce a big client."

Cole was more interested in this topic and asked, "Big client? How many diamonds does he need?"

Li Du used the original words: "Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better, the more the better."

He said the first sentence in Chinese, which to Cole was a chicken and a duck, but he understood the second half of the sentence in English, the more the better.

"The demand is so big?" Cole was surprised, "Does he want to start a luxury company?"

Li Du shrugged and said, "Of course not, I don't know exactly why."

Cole hesitated for a moment, and said: "The group started with diamonds, but you probably understand the situation. Now the diamond reserve has dropped to the lowest point in history. This is a warning point..."

What he meant was that Li Du understood that the Winston Group had no extra diamonds to sell.

After thinking about it, Cole said: "Talk to your friend, if he is willing to accept some small diamonds, our group can provide them. The international price is about two thousand dollars per carat. The specific price and specific analysis."

Li Du asked: "How much can you provide?"

The price is not expensive.

Cole said: "We still have ample inventory in this regard, and the supply of tens of thousands of carats is no problem."

It involves the supply of tens of millions of goods, which needs to be known by shareholders. This is a large asset policy.

It happened that the main shareholders were all there, and Cole talked about it while drinking coffee later.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Callestan shook his head: "No, Cole, I respect your leadership authority, but it's best not to do this business."

Cole looked at him, smiled and said, "Calle, my good buddy, what do you think?"

Callestan said: "We know that the current global economic situation is not good, and major diamond mines are reducing mining volumes and increasing reserves. We should not reduce inventories, otherwise it will be inconvenient to respond to market conditions in the future."

As he spoke, he smiled at the other shareholders, who knew what he meant and nodded repeatedly.

Li Du felt that this was nonsense. It is true that the Hai Rui-Winston Group did not have enough inventory, but now they needed capital injection even more.

For a giant like the Winston Group, these small diamonds are tasteless and can only be used to make some low-end jewelry, which is not even considered a luxury.

He thought Callestan was targeting him. After all, Cole had said it before, and this was a channel he introduced.

But he was a little helpless. Obviously, these shareholders had a better relationship with Callestan, and they all nodded after getting hints from his smile.
