Chapter 823 822. Deep Cooperation (15)

The two shook hands tightly, and Li Du took him to the hotel.

He knew Cole's purpose, so there was no nonsense, and he nodded to Godzilla in the room. Godzilla opened the big box he carried with him, revealing a pile of shining gems inside.

"It's a gift from God!" Cole said in surprise, opening his arms.

Li Du said: "There are still too few gems here, I didn't expect you to come here in person, otherwise I would find a way to dig out more gems."

Cole grabbed his hand and said, "No no, that's enough, and of course I have to come in person, my good man, you're a big hit in our group!"

Li Du owns close to 10% of the shares of Winston Group, and is a major shareholder. It is indeed worthwhile for the president, Cole, to pay a visit in person.

"Let's appraise it. As long as the price is similar, the group can take them all away." He said generously.

Cole brought two black opal appraisal experts. Favors belong to favors, and business belongs to business. This is the principle of dealing with American businessmen, so even if it is an internal acquisition within the group, it still needs to be taken seriously.

Experts inspected, identified and valued gemstones, while the two went to chat in another room.

Cole said: "I came here a bit late this time. In fact, when I received a call from Mrs. Li, I was ready to leave."

"Mrs. Li?" Li Du laughed, and Sophie, who brought coffee to the two of them, also smiled, but still accepted the title calmly.

Cole said, "Of course, isn't Sophie your wife?"

Li Du nodded and said: "Yes, yes, she is my fiancee and will definitely become my wife. This title is very accurate."

Sophie handed him the coffee and whispered, "We're not engaged."

Li Du also whispered: "Anytime!"

This was a promise, Sophie pursed her lips and chuckled, and said no more.

Cole saw the small movements between the two, so he deliberately pointed to the door and said with a very interesting look: "Do you need me to go outside?"

Li Du smiled and said: "No, of course not, you can continue talking."

Cole said: "I could have come here a few days ago, but the group has some urgent matters to deal with. It just so happens that we are planning to hold an autumn luxury salon in Sydney at the end of May. I have to come over to prepare something, so I thought, why not wait for two days See you again."

Li Du said: "You came fast enough, besides, the company is going to hold a salon in Australia?"

This kind of luxury salon is actually a jewelry exhibition. Just like high-end auction companies hold big auctions in spring and autumn, luxury companies also hold high-end jewelry exhibitions in spring and autumn.

Cole replied: "Yes, this autumn's luxury salon will be hosted by our Hai Rui-Winston Group. A few days ago, I was busy inviting various luxury companies to participate."

Needless to say, the main display of this salon is the fire opal series jewelry.

In addition, now there is another batch of black opals, Cole is going to temporarily add drama to the salon, and these black opals will also be made into luxury suits for sale.

After learning about this idea, Li Du nodded and said: "Yes, if these gems are not enough, I can continue to search in Lightning Ridge. This year I will definitely provide a lot of black opals to the group."

After hearing this, Cole was overjoyed: "Are you confident?"

Li Du said: "Yes, I have absolute confidence."

There must be a lot of black opals in Lightning Ridge. As long as he searches patiently, he can always find other ore veins, and then he can buy the mine and dig.

Cole patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's great. Actually, I have an idea. I found that you have excellent abilities in finding gems."

Li Du said: "Are you curious about my ability?"

Cole laughed and said, "Of course I'm curious, but this is your privacy, and I won't try to infringe on it. I know very well that we respect each other and we can continue to cooperate."

Li Du was very satisfied with this answer, this handsome CEO is a smart man.

Then, Cole said: "My idea is, are you going to look for other gemstones in the future? Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, turquoises, sapphires, and so on. If you look for it, what about selling it to the group when you find it?"

Li Du smiled and said, "This is a good idea."

Cole said: "The group has been engaged in the gemstone industry and has some knowledge of gemstone storage around the world. If you are willing to do this, the company will definitely help you."

Li Du's heart was moved. Winston Group must have some world gem storage data. If he had these data, then looking for gems would be more effective with half the effort.

He asked, "About Black Opal, what information does the company have?"

Cole said: "If you are interested, I will arrange for someone to encrypt the data and send it to your mailbox."

Li Du nodded: "Yes, I am willing to do this, but I also have a request."

"Please say."

"I provide gemstones to the group, which can be sold at a price below the market, but I don't want cash, I want shares in the company, and I need to get enough shares."

Li Du didn't want to be a knife, he wanted to be the person holding the knife.

With the help of little flying insects, as long as he arrives at the location of the gem mine, he can find gems with great confidence.

In this way, what the Winston Group bought from him was the rough gemstone. At this time, the gemstone is the least valuable and the profit is the lowest.

Only the more shares he gets in the Winston Group, the more dividends he gets, and the gems turned into jewelry will bring him the most benefits.

Cole expected this proposal, but it was difficult for him to accept it, so he said: "We can buy it at a higher price instead of lower than the market price, how about it?"

Li Du shook his head and said firmly: "I want the shares of the group, so that I am willing to work for the group. Otherwise, if I have the ability to discover all kinds of gemstones continuously, why don't I start a jewelry company myself?"

Cole showed a thoughtful expression, and he said: "You have to let me think about it, Lee, this is a big deal."

If Li Du gets his help and continues to acquire shares in the group, even though he now has an absolute advantage of 41% of the shares, what can he do next? In the future, once Li Du owns the same shares as him or even more, will the Winston Group still belong to his Winston family?

Sophie spoke at the right time and said, "Mr. Winston, as far as I know, the two of you now hold less than half of the total shares of the group, right?"

"Yes."

"So, why don't you join forces? Let's buy the scattered shares outside together."

Cole had thought of this idea a long time ago. Let alone the difficulty of implementation, let’s just talk about the significance of doing so. He is likely to feed tigers, and raise Li Du, a shareholder, to have the ability to challenge him in the future.

Li Du knew what he was hesitating, and said, "Dude, it's been a while since I got the 8.8 shares, but have I told the company what to do?"
