Chapter 1584: 1584.

What Cole meant was to buy this batch of emeralds at the market price, so that Li Du could make a fortune from the emerald itself, and later launch a new series of jewelry based on it, and Li Du, as the major shareholder, could make another fortune.

Listening to his words, Li Du smiled and shook his fingers: "No, Mr. President, it's not fair, so many high-quality gemstones are provided to the group at one time, you should understand the benefits it can bring, I don't just want money .”

Cole is a smart person, but he had to pretend to be confused at this time: "You want more than money? You don't want my Harry-Winston Group, do you?"

Li Du didn't want to go round and round, and said directly: "I'm not interested in the group, I just want to deal fairly, if you just want to spend money to buy, then it's very difficult, I'm a shareholder of the group, I know the financial situation of the group, based on the group's existing In terms of liquid funds, it can't eat the emeralds in my hands."

Cole's eyes narrowed, and he said in shock, "More than that?"

Li Du smiled proudly: "Of course more than that, there are at least four or five times the amount, and the emeralds behind are better planted with water!"

"Then what do you want to do?" Cole asked after thinking for a while.

Li Du said: "You know, I still need the shares of the group, at least 4%."

After several acquisitions, especially the acquisition of 14% of the shares held by Callestan Fitz, plus follow-up operations, he already owned nearly 30% of the shares of the Hai Rui-Winston Group.

But Cole has 39.6% of the shares in his hands, and he has the absolute right to speak, and Li Du also wants to have some right to speak.

He was used by Cole as a pawn to vote for Callestan Fitz. Cole thought he had a better move, but he didn't know that doing so aroused Li Du's resentment and vigilance.

The lesson from the past is in front of us. As the so-called teacher who never forgets the past, Li Du has to guard against becoming the second Callestan, so he needs to have enough right to speak in his hands.

Cole wanted to refuse, but Li Du waved his hand and said, "Mr. President, you believe me, I don't want to spend too much energy on company management. There is a saying in our nation that calls good steel to be on the blade. I mean, I We have to focus on finding more high-quality gemstones.”

"I know, I understand what you mean, you will not interfere with the management of the group, you have never interfered, but Li, you have to know, my name is Winston, the group is my family property, I can no longer risk lowering myself The shares he holds." Cole continued.

The Hai Rui-Winston Group is booming, and many authoritative banks and evaluation agencies have given it a very high evaluation. The minority shareholders see the bright future of the group, and naturally they will not give up their shares.

In this way, if Li Du wants to get another four points of equity, he can only make a decision on Cole, the big boss.

Li Du shook his finger again, and said, "No, you're wrong, I didn't mean that, I mean, I have enough raw materials to start a new jewelry company."

Cole was taken aback by his words, and subconsciously asked, "Set up a new jewelry company?"

Then, he smiled again: "No, Li, it's not a good idea to start a new jewelry company. Jewelry companies value heritage, and I don't intend to question your ability, but if you really want to do this, it will be difficult. It will be difficult for many years to come."

Li Du said: "It's hard to return, but I can make more money. Besides, with the support of enough diamonds, the largest opal mine in Australia, and the new Hongshawadi jadeite market, I can make more money at the same time. Enter the three markets of Asia, Europe and the United States. How difficult can it be if there are three major markets to share the pressure?"

If he really wanted to set up a new jewelry company, no matter how difficult it was, it would be a major blow to the Harry Winston Group.

The No. 2 shareholder's abandonment of the equity will firstly cause shocks in the board of directors; secondly, losing the high-quality diamonds, opals and emeralds supplied by Li & Du, Hai Rui-Winston Group will encounter the previous difficulties again.

Cole sat down helplessly. This was the point that he couldn't deal with Li Du. Li Du was not only the major shareholder, but also the largest supplier of Hai Rui-Winston Group.

After closing his eyes and thinking hard for a long time, Cole went to make a few more phone calls, and when he finally came back, he said, "The equity of one unit is 35 million!"

Li Du laughed: "No problem, I accept, four units, OK?"

What choice did Cole have? He can't really let Li Du live alone in a separate family, can he? That was a huge blow to the Harry Winston Group.

He found sadly that although he was the number one shareholder or the president of the group, the right to speak was tilting towards Li Du.

Fortunately, Li Du never talked too much in the group, he took money and dividends with peace of mind, never was too fussy, let alone provoke his authority as the president.

From this point of view, Cole is quite satisfied with his shareholder.

Another four-point shareholding was obtained, and Li Du was not far behind Cole in terms of shareholding ratio.

This investment can be regarded as a very successful one he made. He spent less than 300 million US dollars to acquire nearly 30% of the equity before. Now, the value of these equity has more than tripled, making him worth a long time ago. Over a billion dollars!

After identifying the authenticity of the jade, the jade experts brought by Cole graded the jade, evaluated it according to the market price, and completed the resale from individuals to groups.

However, he did not sell the emperor green and dragon stone species, and he collected these two pieces of jade.

High-quality jadeite will only become less and less, and the market demand will only increase. Even if it is to be sold, there will be a better price in the future.

What's more, Li Du didn't want to sell them, he wanted to keep them for himself to appreciate.

After disposing of the jade, Li Du can really give himself a vacation.

He has one very important thing to do this holiday, and that is to prepare to marry Sophie.

He and Sophie have known each other for almost four years since they met, and the two have already completed their engagement. He plans to live a peaceful life at home in the future, so it's time to get married.

Before that, he still had a proposal, and Li Du needed to find a suitable time and place.

This kind of timing requires fate, and Li Du did not force it. While preparing for the marriage, he occasionally accompanied Dickens and others to participate in the real estate bidding business.

He is interested in work now, and he doesn’t like the small money of bidding for real estate. Of course, it’s good to make some money. After all, there are super popular Internet celebrities like Ah Miao and Ah Ao. After he gets a good house, he can sell it quickly. Making money is easy.

Sometimes he also goes to the warehouse auction to have a look. This business is now under the joint management of Bill Shawston and Lu Guan. The two hold back each other and are jointly responsible for Li Du, and the warehouse auction business is doing well.

When encountering some valuable auctions or large-scale auctions, he has to come forward. Compared with before, it is much easier for him to participate in the auction now, as long as he tells Bill the bottom line of the value of the warehouse he is optimistic about.
