Chapter 0550: De Beers

"That's it. Early the next morning, Li Zitao learned from Dan that Stephen had called, and he broadcast it back with some curiosity.

"Drug trafficking and drug possession weigh 5 kilograms, which is enough for him to squat for more than ten years. Stephen had just arrived at the office and hadn't gone out.

"How can it be proved that he is a drug trafficker?" The judge will not look at things without evidence, and asking him to say hello for this kind of thing seems to be a big fuss.

"I just caught a small gang under my men, and last night we made a deal that if they bite Bambo to death, I'll have them taken care of in prison. ”

There is a specialization in art, and doing this kind of thing is easy for Stephen, and it doesn't get any easier than that.

Prison is like an independent small society, with mountains and gangs, and not everyone can live in it.

Those goods originally belonged to the small gang that had just been arrested, and 5 kilograms was a lot for the surging people who were messing around in the block, and he was in prison for human witnesses, physical evidence, and the scene.

Messing with Sanille and talking to Stephen reminds him of Lincoln, wondering how his arms are selling.

"Hans..."From Hans, it was learned that Lincoln had done well in the past two months, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s arms revenue exceeded one million for the first time.

The warlords of Cuba, Honduras, Haiti and other West Indies countries became his clients or potential customers.

Lincoln was also in contact with rebels in Colombia, and he had sent people to Central Africa to contact local forces that held mineral resources.

Diamonds, in particular, can be traded directly, thanks to the 'star effect,' and the royal family sought after jewelry and diamonds as a symbol of wealth and status.

The aristocrats should have collected these beautiful stones, and the rich people followed suit, and the prices became higher and higher with all kinds of speculation.

Speaking of diamonds, Li Zitao has to think of a name, De Beers.

It can be said that the value of diamonds and the popularization of the entire industry were created by this name.

It is they who weave a big net with one beautiful 'love' story after another.

Let this kind of glass beads, which were originally used by royalty and nobles and rich people to show off their wealth, become an expensive diamond that everyone scrambles for and breaks their heads.

De Beers is a group company integrating diamond mining, rough sales, diamond cutting, diamond processing and diamond retail.

They frantically sell the value of diamonds and create the appearance that diamonds are rare and expensive.

And the best part is that they equate diamonds with love.

Diamond = beautiful + eternal, love = beautiful + eternal.

So, diamonds = love.

Good mother's strong logic, when she first saw this, Li Zitao's eyes were almost blinded, "It's really talented." ”

According to this, in ancient times, those who tied the marriage with a piece of meat ended up, and finally divorced?

There are also various propaganda reports, in which the gentle and beautiful bride wears a white wedding dress and stretches out her slender fingers under the tender gaze of the groom, waiting for the arrival of 'love'.

Then everyone looked at the photo, digging a slot, so flash, so big chicken.

At first, not many people bought because of the low status of women, but as men compared, diamond sales continued to rise.

Everyone went out to dinner together, and as soon as the wife stretched out her hand, she was blind and blind.

and then stretched out his hand, with a hand of gold and silver rings, all of which looked like they were picked up on the side of the road, can this face be hung up?

"Lao Tzu has more assets than you, and he dares to show off his wealth with me, go, and buy someone bigger than him. The man ran to the diamond shop in a rage, and was ready to buy a bigger one, and next time he would blind the other party.

Next is the exciting part, when the man opens his mouth and says: "Give me the biggest, the uncle has money".

The sales looked at him apologetically and said, "Sir, diamonds are very rare, and the annual output value is only a small part, and our current diamonds are here.

If you want a larger gram, you have to be patient. ”

Does De Beers have diamonds? Absolutely, and there are a lot of them.

De Beers is rumored to have built a vault in London to store diamonds, the size of a palace filled with tens of thousands of precious diamonds.

The phrase 'diamonds are eternal, one is eternal,' is the advertisement of their home.

Nine percent of the diamond mines that Li Zitao always wanted to buy were in the hands of De Beers, which was established in 1888 and is now a monopoly in the diamond industry.

"Can they use up so many diamonds in their stockpile?" Mary had heard of De Beers, but not much, and it was only after listening to him today that she learned about it.

"De Beers has more than 80 investment promotion centres around the world, working with more than 100 diamond processing centres, selling diamonds to them, and then selling them to the brands they need, and then making the right diamond jewellery for consumers. ”

"Recently they are trying to prove that the appreciation rate of diamonds is much higher than the inflation rate, and that investing in diamonds can protect investors' assets from inflation. ”

Mary nodded in surprise, her eyes shining, "Very clever, it looks like I'm going to save more diamonds." ”

"Then you will surely receive the highest welcome. Li Zitao smiled helplessly, he could even find a high-sounding reason to buy jewelry, and he personally delivered it to the door.

"Is there another party in the club today?" Finding Dan directing people to carry beer and seafood to the car, Mary ruffled the ends of her hair and stepped forward to straighten the collar corner of his shirt.

"Well, I haven't participated in a long time, I'll be back as soon as possible. Li Zitao has indeed not participated in group activities for a long time, and the birth of his children and the changes in Washington have kept his feet busy.

"Eric has a show tonight. Mary said calmly.

"Really?" Li Zitao looked at Eric who was eating at the table, thought for a while and nodded, "I'll come back after I send the things." ”

He wanted to ask about Morena, but West didn't call, wondering what was going on at her house.

......

......

No. 22 Club, Ben, who has a nourishing life, has been getting better and better recently, and the whole person looks energetic, as if he is several years younger.

Some time ago, everyone's focus was on Treasury bonds and loans from Washington, and there was little mention of other industries.

But that doesn't mean they forget about the other industries under the think tank, especially aerospace, which is hot with Pan Am.

The price war between the two airlines on the West Coast has been going on for more than 5 months now.

Seeing that the aerospace industry, which has a big business, and a nonchalant performance, Pan American Air is becoming more and more unable to sit still.

The new Washington government's policies have also made the situation even darker, and if it continues, Pan Am may even be beaten back to its original shape.
