Chapter 929 928. Let's Make a Contract (25)

Cole is a good man, as can be seen from his attitude towards Li Du.

He never had any contempt for Li Du because of his ethnicity, age, or status. Every time the two got along, he would do all the courtesy. He learned that there was a misunderstanding between Li Du and Karestan, and hurried to communicate.

He even gave Li Du face in this matter, and unilaterally communicated with Callestan, so that he would not pursue this matter and preserve the friendship between the two parties.

But from the perspective of a large group leader, Cole's good temper is not suitable.

For the leaders of a large group like them, they must have a temper, an unambiguous attitude, and an authority that cannot be provoked.

Cole was too good-tempered, and Li Du gradually noticed that most shareholders didn't take him seriously, and they respected Callestan more.

Li Du was very upset about this. Cole was very nice to him and was his friend. Kalestan obviously responded to them rather than the market economy.

So he decided to go on, and said with a smile: "The group's diamond inventory is at a warning value. At this time, it is really necessary to shrink the cugan. But, what is the need to save small diamonds and small diamonds? If we save them, we will go to the low-end market sell?"

Callestan glanced at him indifferently, and said: "Mr. Li, please forgive me, you don't know enough about the diamond market, and you are not suitable to participate in such an in-depth topic."

The offensive intention of these words was too obvious, Li Du's face changed, and he simply tore away the illusion of peace.

Cole noticed it, and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "The sale of broken diamonds and small diamonds has no impact on the development of the group, and can even be exchanged for cash flow to support the group's better sales of afternoon series and starry night series jewelry. "

Afternoon and Starry Night are the two major luxury series launched by Winston Group. As you can probably tell from the names, the Afternoon series is Fire Opal jewelry, and the Starry Night series is Black Opal jewelry.

Callestan said with a sincere expression: "Mr. President, this decision is not wise, just like I have repeatedly advised you not to take over the Ekati diamond mine. Haven't you suffered enough in this regard?"

There is no problem with the expression and tone of these words, but what are the words?

Li Du frowned. The Ekati Diamond Mine was the biggest wrong investment in the history of the Winston Group. It invested 500 million U.S. dollars and ended up taking over a mess.

It was precisely because of this incident that Cole lost his prestige on the board of directors of the group, and he almost sent the group into the abyss of eternal doom.

This incident has greatly affected his prestige in the group. These shareholders now do not trust him but trust Karestan. It is probably related to the investment mistakes in the diamond mine.

Li Du got up and said coldly: "Mr. Fitz, you are not the think tank of the group, you are just a shareholder, just like me. We have the right to know about many policies, but we don't have the right to make decisions."

Karestan sneered and said, "Why, do you think you have decision-making power?"

He looked at other shareholders and said: "People here, the shares in Winston Group in our hands are not bought by ourselves. Most of them are passed down from our fathers. Our relationship with Winston Group has been going on for decades. It's time, in your eyes, we can't even talk?"

Encouraged by his words, the other shareholders looked at Li Du indignantly. Obviously, Callestan succeeded and brought them to the opposite of Li Du.

Li Du didn't care, he said: "You can say whatever you want, and you can also disagree, but it's not for the sake of the group, you should be very clear."

Callestan laughed and said: "It is for the sake of the group that we suggest this to the president. Do you know how tight the international diamond market is now? Do you know how many luxury companies are stockpiling diamonds? Do you know the range of international diamond prices? ?”

These words are clearly bullying Li Du without common sense. Just like what he thought before, diamonds are very beautiful, but the quantity put into the market is small and the price is expensive.

But this is not because the value of diamonds is so high. In fact, there are quite a lot of diamond reserves that can be developed internationally. Especially in Russia and Africa, there are still a large number of large diamond mines waiting to be developed.

A large number of diamond merchants, local warlords, and the government control these diamond mines. In order to maintain the stability of the diamond market, they do not mine a large number of diamonds.

In fact, diamonds have never been in short supply in the primary market. Tang Zhaoyang and Tang Zhaoyang did not have relevant channels to purchase diamonds in large quantities, but Winston Group did.

Li Du chuckled and said, "You mean, there are very few diamonds mined now? There are very few high-quality diamond mines?"

Callestan said helplessly: "Yes, high-quality diamonds are being mined less and less. We'd better keep the diamonds in the warehouse and wait for a suitable opportunity to sell them as finished products."

Listening to his words, several thoughts flashed in Li Du's mind like lightning.

He said lightly: "I think that there are not many high-quality diamond mines in the world. On the contrary, there are many of these things."

Callestan laughed and said disdainfully: "You are too optimistic. Our family has been engaged in the search for diamond deposits for many generations, and I know the rarity of them best."

After a pause, he turned to a contemptuous smile: "Mr. Li, with all due respect, you may confuse diamond mining with warehouse auctions. Let alone looking for diamond mines, even if you find a diamond mine, it is difficult to search for diamonds from it." It’s not comparable to finding junk from the warehouse.”

Li Du said: "Really? What if I can find a new diamond mine for the group?"

Callestan laughed, "You should ask what to do if your dream wakes up."

As soon as he said this, several shareholders laughed.

Everyone could see that Callestan's attitude towards Li Du was like treating a child. In their eyes, Li Du was indeed just a child.

Li Du said: "How about this, let's make a gentleman's agreement, I will help the group find a diamond mine, if you can find a new mine worth investing in, you will transfer the group's equity in your hand to me at the current market price, how about that?" ?”

Callestan snorted, and said, "I said you are a child, and this is not an insult to you. You take business too simply."

"That's why you don't dare?" Li Du asked with a smile, "You know in your heart that finding a new diamond mine is not difficult, just like you know in your heart that disposing of these broken diamonds is a better choice for the group ,right?"

Callestan's expression froze, he looked straight at Li Du, and said, "You can't find it?"

Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "I will give away the group shares in my hand..."

"I don't need it," Karestan interrupted.

Li Du said: "Okay, how about I give you 10 million US dollars? If I can't find such a diamond mine within this year, I will give you 10 million US dollars."

Callistan patted the table and said, "Let's sign the contract."
