Chapter 982: 981. Business (55)

In this small warlord's territory, Li Du was treated courteously by foreign guests.

Brother Wolf and Godzilla accompanied him on the left and right. When he visited the military parade, they seemed to be the golden bodyguards of the leaders, making everything look like that.

Li Du didn't have much power in his hands, he was very clear about his identity and status.

However, when he was standing in front of the army for inspection at this moment, listening to the music played by the military band next to him, and looking at General Heige with the medal on, he was still excited.

At this moment, he understood why men wanted to pursue power. He just experienced an informal reception of foreign guests like a house, and he felt that way.

Then, think about it, if he is really a leader or an important guest of a big country, how exciting would it be to experience such an environment?

There were very few soldiers participating in the military parade, a total of fifty or sixty people in two squares, the event ended soon, Lei Moning saluted, and they left the hill.

The lion hunter quietly asked: "How is it? Isn't it shocking?"

Li Du nodded sincerely: "Yes, this is simply unbelievable. This experience will become the most precious experience in my trip to Africa."

After hearing his words, Lei Mo Ning showed a smug expression on his face, and said, "Mr. Li laughed at me. We don't have many soldiers, and our weapons are not sophisticated. In fact, my hospitality is a bit shabby."

Li Dugang wanted to be polite, Lei Moning changed the subject, and continued: "But there is no way, we have no money, if the funds are sufficient, then I can pull up a real torrent of steel, and when you come again, I promise to let you have money." The feeling of a state guest."

The lion hunter smiled cooperatively and said, "Didn't you get the diamond mine? As long as you get the channel, it's only a matter of time before you want to get money."

Lei Moning waved his hand to signal them to follow him into the jeep, and the car drove down the dirt road around the mountain.

There are many buildings on the terraced fields, among which is a large house with Lei Mo Ning's face painted on the outer wall, which is his government office.

The house is not too high, but the area is quite large. Entering from the main entrance is a hall.

There is a stepped corridor on the front of the hall. A few steps above it is similar to the court hall of ancient Chinese emperors. There are tables, chairs, bookshelves and weapon racks. Lei Moning should usually work here.

Below stood two rows of Heige soldiers with their hands behind their waists. Their eyes were straight and their faces were solemn, adding a bit of might to the office.

Lei Moning was sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall. The chair was covered with a leopard skin, and there were two male lions on the left and right. Of course, they were only stuffed lions.

He invited Li Du and the lion hunter to sit on both sides, and a black girl in brightly dressed respectfully brought coffee, and then stood on both sides with hands down to provide service.

After taking a sip of coffee, Lei Moning said with a smile, "Everything here is simple, and the hospitality is unavoidable. Please forgive me, Mr. Li."

Li Du said: "The general is really polite. This is the warmest hospitality I have ever experienced. I am already a little flattered."

Compared with the mansion of the lion hunter, the decoration of Lei Moning's barracks, government office buildings and residences are all shabby.

However, he has a group of black brothers under his command and has weapons and equipment. These things can ensure that even if he lives in the wasteland, he still won't make people feel shabby.

Lei Moning laughed loudly, obviously very satisfied with Li Du's answer.

The two sides chatted briefly while drinking coffee. Soon, Lei Moning got to the point, looked at Li Du with piercing eyes and said, "Mr. Li, are you the major shareholder of Hai Rui-Winston Group?"

Li Dudao: "I am its agitator, but it's not a big one. In fact, I can't rank among the top two in the group."

"That's the third place." Lei Moning responded quickly, "Very well, I invited you here because I need your help with something, I think you probably know it well."

How could Li Du not know? He nodded and said, "You have a diamond mine and need suitable sales channels. Do you think our Hai Rui-Winston Group can provide channels?"

"Isn't that so?" Lei Mo Ning asked back.

Li Du smiled wryly: "Let me explain, General, the Winston Group is indeed a giant in the diamond luxury industry, but we belong to the processing side and the selling side."

He took a sip of his coffee and continued: "If you want to deal with diamonds, you should contact De Beers Group or Botswana Diamond Valuation Company, and they have the right to bring rough diamonds into the market."

Diamonds are not something that can be sold by anyone who digs them. From discovery to appearing in the market, everything has a strict process, and different companies are responsible for different process stages.

De Beers Group and Botswana Diamond Appraisal Company are rough diamond buyers, as is Harry Winston, but the acquisition volume is very small. The former two are the giants. They eat meat, while other luxury companies eat soup.

After they buy rough diamonds, they don't cut them directly, but mostly send them to Antwerp, the city of diamonds, for valuation and trading.

Antwerp, the "City of Diamonds", has nearly six centuries of diamond culture and is a world leader in the trade of rough and polished diamonds.

This city has the headquarters of the two largest diamond banks in the world, the world's four famous diamond exchanges and more than 1,800 diamond companies. Eight out of every 10 rough diamonds in the world are traded in Antwerp, so , which is considered the top rough diamond market.

Luxury goods companies generally send people to stay in Antwerp to purchase diamonds whose valuations have been completed.

Therefore, regardless of the glamor of luxury companies, in fact they do not take the initiative in the rough diamond market, and the initiative lies in the hands of De Beers Group and Botswana Diamond Valuation Company.

General Lei Moning smiled and said: "I know, but your group can also handle rough diamonds, right? You came to Africa this time to find the rough diamond market."

The lion hunter nodded. Apparently, he was the one who provided this information to Lei Moning.

But this is Li Du’s random reason. He came to Africa to find diamond mines, not rough diamonds. He doesn’t have the strength to deal with rough diamonds.

The diamond market is a transaction site involving hundreds of billions or even trillions of total capital, which involves too much profit and too much influence.

When doing things in this market, everything has standards to follow, and no one can act recklessly, otherwise get ready to face the attacks of these giants.

Li Du understood the pros and cons, and he said cautiously: "You misunderstood, General, I think you should contact the major diamond valuation companies. If you are not familiar with all this, I can help you contact their managers."

Lei Moning laughed exaggeratedly, showing his teeth: "Hahahaha, Mr. Li, you really know how to joke, your words are really funny, hahaha."

The lion hunter smiled and gave Li Du winks at the same time.

Li Du was baffled, what did Nima mean by winking at Lao Tzu? What is wrong with what I said?
