Chapter 595 594. Difficult Choices (3)

The four of them started to quarrel, and Li Du was dizzy from the quarrel, regretting that he didn't listen to the black driver and changed to another jewelry store to sell gems.

The American can really save face, he is here waiting to do business with Rogge, and the other three make trouble on the spot.

Obviously, this business can't be done, and Hai Rui Group's funds definitely have problems. According to the three people, they no longer have the money to purchase large gems.

This made him feel a little unbelievable. Harry Winston is a big brand in the luxury goods industry. Of course, they mainly produce jewelry and gemstones, and they cannot compare with LV, Dior and other giants that kill all types.

But in any case, their market value must be at least a few billion dollars, can it be a few million?

But according to the four of them, Hai Rui Group is really short of these several million dollars.

Tatiq and the others didn't intend to save face for the group and Rogge at all. They just want to transfer their shares quickly and exchange them for cash.

Depressed by the noise, Li Du couldn't help interjecting: "Everyone, calm down, I seem to understand that Hai Rui Group is in a bad situation right now?"

Roger frowned and said, "Mr. Li, you misunderstood, our group..."

"Who do you want to deceive at this time?" Tatiq shouted, "Rogge, go online and check for yourself. The plight of the group has been spread on the Internet, and some media have begun to report on the Akati Diamond Mine. Problem!"

Roger opened his mouth to say something, but his lips squirmed a few times, and finally he couldn't speak, but let out a depressed sigh.

Norman said dissatisfiedly: "When the group spent a lot of money to buy the Ekati diamond mine, I made a suggestion, don't gamble, don't gamble, don't gamble, the result? Who will listen?"

"Yeah, now that the global luxury goods industry is in such a downturn, it's really stupid for the group to spend half a billion dollars to buy an abandoned diamond mine!"

Seeing that they were going to complain and quarrel again, Li Du raised his hands and said, "Everyone, everyone, calm down, what are you worried about? Since you are shareholders of Hai Rui Group, you should know the strength of this group, right?"

"The group is very powerful, but if it files for bankruptcy, what about its strength? Lehman Brothers is stronger, right? Isn't it bankrupt?" Norman said coldly.

Lehman Brothers was once one of the four major investment banks in the world. It went bankrupt in 2008, which once triggered financial turmoil around the world.

At that time, Li Du was still studying in China, so I don't know the details, but for the United States, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers had a great impact. Many companies went bankrupt, and many people became penniless overnight.

It is precisely because of these lessons that Norman and others are so crazy. If Hai Rui Group also goes bankrupt, their old age will be miserable.

Li Du didn't want to get involved in their messes, but Rogge's situation was really embarrassing, which made him feel a little pitiful, so he couldn't help but say a few words for him.

"Obviously, the situation of Hai Rui Group is different from that of Lehman Brothers. Lehman Brothers is a big mess that even the government cannot take over. Hai Rui Group has a century-old reputation and a century-old brand. Good, there will be companies to take over."

"You are right, but when other companies come to take over, what price will they pay for the equity?" Tatiq said.

Li Du remained silent. It was true. If Hai Rui Group was acquired, the acquirer would definitely lower the price, and their shareholding would inevitably shrink greatly.

Rogge said earnestly: "I admit that there may be some problems with the group's funds, but our brand is there, and our confidence is there."

He pointed to Li Du, "Look, isn't Mr. Li just here to sell these gems to us? We have the most famous jewelry brand in the world and the best designers, as long as there are enough gems..."

"Yes, there are enough gems, where are the gems? How to get them?" Norman continued coldly, "Well, there are some fire opals now, how do you get them?"

Roger stopped talking, his brows were tightly wrinkled, looking embarrassed.

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention, and the casual conversation between the two sides made Li Du's eyes light up.

This is an opportunity!

Hai Rui Group has encountered a crisis. This crisis is investment failure, which leads to poor capital operation, which makes many shareholders lack confidence and want to sell their shares.

Naturally, selling shares now can only be sold at a low price, at least the price is much lower than when Hai Rui Group was operating normally, so why would he not think of a way to buy these shares?

He now wants to enter the jewelry and gemstone industry, and his identity is only a supplier of raw materials.

According to the principle of profit distribution in the three-level market, the profit of raw material suppliers is the lowest, and the most profitable is the seller with channels.

Harry Winston Group is the seller. It not only has channels, but also has a reputation accumulated over hundreds of years.

If he buys equity and becomes a shareholder, then he will have a place to deal with the gemstones he gets in the future, and he can hand them over to his company to carve them into finished products for sale.

In this way, the profits will be huge!

But doing so is risky, how much money does he have now? How many shares can you buy? It can't affect the strategic situation of Hai Rui Group at all!

In other words, if he can't turn the tide and the Hai Rui Group will go bankrupt or be sold, then his investment will be in vain.

Soon, Li Du frowned even more than Roger, and he encountered a difficult decision that he had never had in his life.

Sitting on the sofa, he was thinking hard in his heart, not noticing what was happening outside.

After an unknown amount of time, someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Li, are you alright?"

Li Du's meditation was interrupted, he raised his head subconsciously and said, "Oh, it's okay, I'm thinking about something, Mr. Rogge?"

It was Rogge who patted him on the shoulder. The four of them had stopped arguing, and it was Tatiq and the others' turn to frown this time.

Roger said: "Oh, it's like this, Mr. Li, let you see a joke. My friends and I had a little argument. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Li Du smiled.

Roger said: "I can't keep delaying your time. If you are willing to sell these gems in our store, then we can negotiate the price."

Li Du said: "Do you have the money to buy them?"

Hearing this, Rogge blushed as if he had been insulted, and he said, "Of course, Mr. Li, the value of the jewelry in our store alone is more than ten million!"

Li Du hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I said something stupid, so let's talk about the price?"
