Chapter 399: Something Ho
After hearing Kong Tao's words, Ye Qing asked curiously: "News! What news?"
Ye Qing has not paid attention to the news posted on WeChat for some time. Now Kong Tao reminds him that there is important news in it. Most of the news above is related to Monster Heavy Industry.
Seeing that Ye Qing seemed to have something to deal with, Professor Cai Chenning first asked for leaving, saying that the next time if he would have an experimental project, he will borrow the laboratory of the Monster Heavy Industry, he spoke about this again.
Hanging up the phone, Ye Qing opened WeChat news feed.
[A week after the collapse of the j.a.panese road, the road opened to traffic which shocked the world by the speed of the works and the Chinese laughed but didn't speak.]
[another network drive has failed. Where should our data be?]
[In a recently opened diamond mining area in western Nigeria, a rare high-quality rough diamond is found, valued at approximately US $ 300 million.]
It was really sleepy to send hot pillows; he was hungry and the hungry courier brought the meal. Ye Qing quickly discovered the key point and his heartbeat accelerated. The original diamond in the news was described as rare, extra-large, and of high quality. According to the past news practice, the block of this rough diamond can be larger than the fist. As for the valuation of US $ 300 million, it was a relatively conscientious valuation.
Ye Qing turned over the news before and found the last rare blue diamond mined in Africa, which was valued at millions of dollars. What is the concept of one million dollars?
Last year, Guinea Bissau ranked 171st in the global GDP ranking, has a total annual production value of more than 900 million US dollars.
In all the countries and regions behind it, the GDP is much lower than that of the others. Let the princes of the oil-producing countries come, who will not hesitate to break billions of dollars to buy a rare precious stone that has value only for its beauty and decoration.
This piece is estimated at the US $ 300 million. Ye Qing pondered the final transaction price, which was only 150 million Yuan, but it was definitely a conscience valuation.
To recruit the legendary Electronic Messenger, it takes a piece of two hundred grams of a natural diamond.
Ye Qing has just given the director of the company an order today to search for pieces of diamonds weighing more than 200 grams from major jewelers around the world and the evening news showed him the way. Just that… This diamond actually came from Nigeria, and Ye Qing knows the country quite well. Last month, the Master Metal Expert sent there also had a solo show there.
After returning to the company, Ye Qing quickly summoned several managers to ask them about the progress of the diamond project.
Yang Lily, the manager of the propaganda department, made the report first: "Boss, I consulted several well-known jewelers in China. It is only these jewelers in China who focus mainly on gold jewelry. They do not trade in diamonds much. Right now, there is only one rough diamond that is the heaviest at Chow Tai f.o.o.k, but it is sixty grams. I have heard that it is a private order made by a rich person who will use it for a marriage proposal."
Purchasing manager Qiu Yi answered: "I consulted Cartier, Tiffany, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, etc., which are based in China, these famous international jewelry brand branches said that a diamond weighing more than two hundred grams should have been taken by the royal family a few decades ago. Now there are no more customers interested in this kind of diamond except the jewelers. They also received more than two hundred grams of rough but were cut into pieces and polished into independent diamond jewelry. At present, there is only the diamond mine in Nigeria. This rare diamond has not been acquired by the jewelry companies. We can buy this rough stone."
Sales manager Kong Tao took out a brand-new photo of a transparent diamond whose size is invisible and looks like large rock candy: "I checked the source. The earliest news was from a media outlet in Europe. The date of discovery of the rough was uncertain, and the origin was in a diamond mine in western Nigeria. The raw stone weighs 372 grams. According to their previous experience, they released news to the outside world just to attract jewelers around the world."
Ye Qing pinched his brow and thought: "That is to say, the large rough diamonds mined in the past have been processed by the jewelers, and only this rough stone currently meets our requirements."
"Apply for foreign currency exchange first. We will buy this diamond for industrial purposes. First, we will exchange 300 million US dollars in the name of imported industrial raw materials. There is a source of information over Nigeria. I will first find out the specifics of this diamond, and then let you arrange the itinerary."
"Boss, there is also a preliminary plan for the acquisition of a mobile phone manufacturing plant." Kong Tao reported on another project: "There are currently three mobile phone manufacturing plants that meet our requirements over Shanghai. Two are on the verge of bankruptcy and one can remain profitable, their products are mainly sold to underdeveloped countries and mainly rely on cheap smartphones. These three factories belong to the kind that has no resistance to acquisition. To continue to follow up, we must make a detailed report on the scale of the three companies and their respective quotations in the shortest time."
After the meeting, Ye Qing returned to the office and kept squeezing his brows. Africa is rich in diamonds; the rare diamond was in Nigeria. For Ye Qing, it was only charcoal in the snow. But dealing with this war-torn country...
"All this is for the legendary monster." Sighing, Ye Qing took out the phone and called Li Huaxing, chairman of China Heavy Industries.
China Heavy Industry had the right to mine a copper mine in Anute in the district Nyaja. Now the copper raw materials of the Monster Heavy Industry are all imported from there, and it is possible to ask him to inquire about the diamond. It was just a phone call, and Ye Qing told Li Huaxing that he wanted to buy diamonds.
This is always with a bright smile on weekdays Li Huaxing received Ye Qing's call because of the increasingly fierce compet.i.tion in the domestic machinery industry and because of the copper mines in the Anute region, the chairman is making a lot of money. After learning of Ye Qing's news, he fell into a sigh and silence unexpectedly, and it took a long time to speak.
"Brother Ye... It's just diamonds for industrial purposes. It doesn't cost so much. At present, synthetic diamonds are basically satisfactory."
From his words, Ye Qing heard hesitation and embarra.s.sment and said: "It is difficult for a man-made diamond to exceed one carat. At present, we are working on a new laser-like device that requires diamonds to polish the lens." After that, he asked: "what's the matter, Chairman Li?"
"The diamond..."
"The news directly stated that it was found in the west, and more specifically, it was found in the diamond mine at the border of the Nyaja district and the Nsuka district. Brother Ye, you should be familiar with this place."
Li Huaxing's voice seemed to come from afar: "Because of this diamond mine, the powers of the two regions almost hit the dog's brain. Even our mine area is nervous. It was already clear that General Mopu, who was in power in the Nyaja district, took control of the mining area. But who knows that just a few days after the diamond mine was excavated, such a hot thing came out. General Mopu's news was not blocked completely, maybe there might have been a ghost inside the diamond mine that leaked the news so that the Nsuka district got the news."
"This diamond is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention the idea of finding this diamond in the Nsuka destrict, but the whole of western Nigeria, large and small authorities, want to own this diamond. General Mopu cannot keep this diamond safe on his territory until he has released the diamond as soon as possible, but now the entire Anut area is surrounded by red-eyed military forces. Mopu hired a helicopter to move the original stone. Before the helicopter landed in the Anut area, it was shattered to pieces by more than ten rockets. "
"Brother Ye, do you think this diamond is hot?"
