Chapter 842 841. African Legend (55)

After drinking, Cao Fan introduced the men in the house to Li Du.

Wang Kun, who came to tease them earlier, is a real estate developer who owns a good real estate company in China. Now he is coming to Australia to explore overseas markets.

Li Du was quite surprised. This man looked like he was in his thirties, but he was actually in charge of a real estate company with assets worth billions? Moreover, his personality is very detached, which is very different from the prudence of the bosses in his impression.

Others are also high-ranking and powerful. They have either started companies or are executives of some large groups. They work in various places, from Australia to Congo, from China to the United States.

According to Cao Fan's introduction, they knew each other before, and they had a good relationship, and they belonged to a small circle.

This gathering was because some people were traveling in Australia, and some were here on business, so they made an appointment.

Cao Fan introduced to Li Du that he was the major shareholder of Hai Rui-Winston Group, and he didn't say how old it was, which aroused the interest of many people.

Sitting in the crowd, Li Du and the people around him kept toasting and drinking.

They are in the same circle, but there are still different small circles among them. Those who sit with Li Du are all engaged in the luxury industry, such as Cao Fan, such as a man named Liu Junhui, who is a member of Giorgio Armani in the United States. senior director.

What attracted Li Du's attention was a dark-skinned middle-aged man named Wang Zhongshi. His job was somewhat similar to what Li Du was doing now, both of which were digging for gems.

Li Du dug black opals, while Wang Zhongshi dug diamonds.

Knowing that he is the major shareholder of the Winston Group, Wang Zhongshi took special care of him, and took the initiative to toast him a glass of wine: "Brother Li, I am older than you, please call you brother, I did this!" Cup, you can do whatever you want."

Li Du drank a glass with him and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, you are welcome."

Wang Zhongshi patted him on the shoulder and said: "No, it's not that Brother Wang is being polite, it's that you are indeed a good man, a good man among our descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and a good drinker."

Cao Fan interjected, "Brother Li is good at drinking, but don't try to force others, we Chinese must unite outside."

Li Du smiled and said nothing, Cao Fan treated people warmly and spoke sincerely, but he couldn't help but think of Ma Zhi'an who cheated on him when he was in Arizona.

Wang Zhongshi glared at Cao Fan, and said, "Who is feeding him? This is the first time we meet, so we must have a drink. I'm too lazy to tell you, come on, Brother Li, let's have a good chat."

He was in the diamond business, and the Harry Winston Group was the top diamond company in the world, and they had business dealings with each other.

Wang Zhongshi asked Li Du to inquire about the diamond market, but Li Du didn't understand this. He bought the shares of Hai Rui-Winston Group based on gambling, not analysis.

So he took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Brother Wang, are you digging for diamonds in Congo? I heard that the country of diamonds in Africa is South Africa. Is there any harvest in digging diamonds in Congo?"

Wang Zhongshi said: "It is true that South Africa's diamond reserves and output rank first in Africa, and Congo's mining industry is mainly copper, cobalt and gold. These three things account for 80% of their mining output value."

"However, everyone knows that South Africa has diamonds, and they all search for diamonds in South Africa. There are few diamond mines in Congo, and the output is low, but the competition is also small. I would rather be a chicken head than a queen, so I mixed up with Congo."

Li Du asked: "How about the harvest in Congo? Is your output stable? If it is stable, I can help you contact the president of the Winston Group. Maybe this can help you."

Wang Zhongshi's eyes lit up. This was his purpose. He wanted to spread sales to the Winston Group.

"That's a good relationship," he said enthusiastically, "There are relatively few diamond mines in Congo, and the output is indeed unstable, but I am not stable and there are other mines. We Chinese are very united in Congo. There is a brother who is engaged in diamond mines. Alliance, Brother Wang may be considered a big brother in the alliance because he is older and knows more friends."

Li Du asked: "Then what is the approximate output of your alliance? Tell me some statistics..."

Cao Fan nudged him lightly, and interrupted again: "It's hard for the big guys to sit together, talk less about work and more about life, come and drink."

Li Du knew that he did it on purpose, but he didn't understand what he meant.

While drinking, Cao Fan explained to Li Du in a low voice: "Brother Li, you are also in the gem business. You should know that in this industry, it is very taboo to ask the other party about the core data of gems when you are not familiar with it."

Li Du was a little stunned, he didn't know this statement, but he could understand it.

Cao Fan said again: "And don't rush to ask these questions, go back and talk to President Winston first, see if Winston Group is interested in buying diamonds from the outside world, and then contact Lao Wang."

Li Du suddenly realized, and said: "I understand, thank you Brother Cao for your guidance."

Cao Fan laughed: "What kind of Brother Cao am I? You can call me Ergou or Brother Dog just like everyone else. That's my nickname, and I quite like my nickname."

Later, Li Du and Wang Zhongshi continued to chat, without talking about the specific data of mining, and more inclined to some interesting things they had encountered with each other.

Wang Zhongshi said: "Brother Li, if you are interested in the mining industry, I suggest you go to Africa. Africa is indeed a cornucopia. It is more reliable to make a fortune there than in Australia."

Li Du said: "I'm digging black opals in Australia now, but I don't know why I went to Africa."

"After you go there, you will definitely find a business that can make you rich," Wang Zhongshi said firmly, "Do you know how long it takes for our Chinese mine owners to become a millionaire on average in Africa?"

"How many?"

"16 and a half days!" Wang Zhongshi said, "For example, digging diamonds, after finding a suitable mine source, we can have an average profit of 30,000 US dollars per car, two cars a day, as long as we continue to work, the monthly net profit is 1.8 million!"

Li Du exclaimed: "The business is so easy?"

Cao Fan laughed and said, "It's definitely not that simple."

Wang Zhongshi nodded and said: "Yes, the biggest problem in mining in Africa is security. As long as you can save your life, you can definitely make money."

"Save your life? It's not that easy." A man named Song Hongjun snorted, "I'm a fellow villager digging diamonds in South Africa. I worked for half a year and worked my ass off to get some diamonds. On the way to the airport, I was shot by a black driver. Broken head!"

Wang Zhongshi sighed and said, "You are right. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Congo. I have been pointed at the head with a gun several times."

He paused, and then said: "But if you want to get rich, you have to take risks. The old ancestors said it well, wealth and wealth are found in danger!"

Listening to their conversation, Li Du became somewhat curious about Africa. Although it was dangerous there, it seemed that there were many opportunities.
