Chapter 927 926. It Comes Like This (55)

As Cao Fan chatted with Tang Chaoyang, Li Du gradually understood why Cao Fan was so happy to see him, and immediately brought him to this extremely intimate dinner party.

Tang Zhaoyang needs a batch of diamonds, but he hasn't purchased them yet, and has been worrying about it.

Cao Fan is very good at coming. It seems that Tang Zhaoyang and Zhaoyang have great energy. He wanted to curry favor with them and bring Li Du here just to solve this problem.

When the topic was brought up, Li Du couldn't stay out of it. He asked, "How many diamonds do you need? I am a shareholder of the Hai Rui-Winston Group. Maybe I can help you check the inventory of the Winston Group."

Hearing this, Song Biaozi was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Really? We need..."

"Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better." Tang Zhaoyang smiled first, "The more the better, how many diamonds can Mr. Li provide?"

Li Du said in embarrassment: "It's not clear yet. I have to communicate with the president of the Winston Group. What price are you willing to offer? I can help you talk about it."

"The price of international diamonds goes up by 10 percent." Tang Zhaoyang said, "If the quality is excellent, it can go up a little more. The key is to have enough goods."

Li Du nodded, the price is not low, he can try to talk about it.

But regarding Tang Zhaoyang's words, he still had some doubts, and asked, "The more you need, the better? You can eat as much as you want? You have to know that diamonds are super expensive."

Diamonds are very expensive, and many people in the society comment that it is just a stone, something that has been hyped up and has little value.

Even, the emergence of this gem is hailed as the most wonderful marketing scam in the 20th century. It provides a textbook-like classic case in the history of modern marketing: consumers of goods and services are just a low-end concept, and consumers of goods and services are the highest. achievement.

Many people have produced evidence that diamonds were first created by the Russians. They hired stars and celebrities to wear this beautiful stone and promoted it to the world step by step.

In a sense, Li Du does not agree with this statement, it is nonsense, diamonds are not worthless!

First, diamonds have been born for a long time. Indians discovered this beautiful stone very early, but there was no cutting technology at that time, so they could not be popularized on a large scale.

However, in that era, beautiful natural diamonds were already a rare commodity. Compared with the prices at that time, diamonds in that era were much more expensive than they are now.

Second, diamonds are not only good-looking. Its hardness and certain physical properties make it also useful in industry.

Most importantly, Li Du felt that those who thought diamonds were worthless probably didn't have much exposure to diamonds.

This kind of stone is so beautiful, especially after being cut completely and placed under the light and sunlight, the beauty it exudes is enough to impress any normal person.

Appreciation of beauty is always the highest enjoyment pursued by human beings. Beauty, food, beautiful scenery, and super beautiful gems like diamonds.

However, Li Du also thinks that diamonds are not worth such a high price. This thing is beautiful, but it can be synthesized artificially, unlike precious metals such as gold, which cannot be artificially synthesized at all.

In addition, the amount of diamonds stored on the earth is actually quite large. If all jewelers throw their arms out and dig out, the diamond market will collapse.

So in Li Du's view, diamonds are a good thing, very beautiful, and everyone likes them very much, but it is not worth the current high price.

Tang Zhaoyang smiled and said: "We can eat, you just take it out, my brother and I have saved a lot of money over the years."

The big cat next to him couldn't help but asked, "Let's take the liberty to say, Young Master Tang, why do you need so many diamonds? Do you want to use them to impress the heart of some princess?"

Song Biaozi laughed loudly: "Princess Hammer, why do you want to impress their hearts? We have other uses, we have to enter a place, and we need the refraction of diamonds..."

"Eat, eat." Tang Zhaoyang waved his hand like lightning, picked up a piece of duck meat and stuffed it into Song Biaozi's mouth.

Li Du probably understood what they meant, and said, "Then why do we need natural diamonds? There should be a lot of industrial diamonds, right? The price is cheap."

Song Biaozi wanted to laugh again, Tang Zhaoyang shook his head and said, "No, industrial diamonds can't be used, natural diamonds have to be used, and we don't know why."

Just like buying Rolls-Royce umbrellas, they seem to be going to another place. They used umbrellas to go there before to keep out the strong wind. They don’t know why they used diamonds this time.

Li Du guessed that they needed so many diamonds, maybe they wanted to use diamonds to pave the way.

To achieve Cao Fan's goal, he didn't really have to help Tang Zhaoyang find diamonds, even if he just found a channel, it was enough to let Tang Zhaoyang and Song Biaozi understand his attitude.

After dinner, Li Du returned to the hotel, and Cole booked a room for him in the famous Mandarin Oriental Hotel, a luxurious VIP room, one thousand dollars a night.

This hotel is only one street away from Central Park, overlooking half of the night view of New York, and it sells oriental culture, which is really good.

The hotel provides supper, mainly all kinds of drinks, fruits and snacks, with relatively few ingredients, only Japanese fish, Chinese dumplings, Vietnamese sandwiches and Korean barbecue.

By breakfast time, the menu gets big: New York hot dogs, Kosher favorites like smoked salmon and sturgeon with eggs and onions, assorted grilled cheeses, tacos with pork belly and fried eggs, and waffles with goose Liver, polenta with Oaxaca cheese, chile pepper sticks with ceviche halibut and more.

Li Du and Sophie chose vegetarian food, which is the hotel's special breakfast, clearing the stomach and intestines.

After breakfast, Cole waited for Li Du in the office and introduced some shareholders and important figures of the group to him.

The headquarters of the Harry Winston Group is in Midtown. On the way to the group, Li Du picked up the most classic image of New York:

Busy commuters, soaring skyscrapers, Fifth Avenue shop windows, constant traffic, and various other famous New York City attractions.

Being able to set up the headquarters here can show the strength of the Winston Group, and at the same time, it has also caused huge financial pressure.

When there is no problem with the group's funds, the headquarters office building looks very good. Once there is a problem, it will become a rope tied around the neck and a reminder attached to the back.

Li Du wore a Tang suit to show his national identity, and under the guidance of Secretary Cole, he entered the office energetically.

Cole's office is very large, covering an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. Cole and a dozen people were discussing something in it. After seeing Li Du, the group stood up politely.

But from it, Li Du felt hostility.
