Day Beers, a great liar of the century who weaved a glittering "dream" for women around the world and a "nightmare" for men around the world - "a diamond is forever, a diamond is forever" - this kind of nonsense has deceived the world for nearly a hundred years.

From weaving a "diamond dream" for the world to controlling nearly 90% of the world's diamond supply at its peak, De Beers's position in the diamond industry is the "fighting chicken" of roosters, the absolute king.

Yes, with the sunset of the empire and the advent of the tide of African independence, coupled with the rising rise of Russia in the diamond industry, De Beers' position in the industry is declining. However, again, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Dai Beers still controls more than 50% of the world's diamond supply, and he can still control the global diamond price as he pleases - when Lao Tzu is happy, he will put more inventory, and if he is not happy, he will simply not supply.

Anyway, it's just a sentence, Lao Tzu is awesome, it's capricious.

As for the growing Russian diamond mining company, hehe, if you don't blow it up, you don't really care about Dai Beers and the Anglo American Resources company and the Oppenheimer family behind it.

Why?

It's very simple, the poor Russian diamond mining companies have long been dealt with by Dai Beers - everyone advances and retreats together, Lao Tzu has meat to eat, and you will not be allowed to eat the soil and drink the northwest wind.

However, this time in the face of the menacing Blackwater and Kering, Dai Beers and the black hands behind him scratched their heads. You know, unlike the impoverished Russian diamond companies that have been banned by the Western world, the combination of Blackwater and Kering can definitely shake the hegemony of De Beers - one is the world's largest military armed service provider, and the other is the world's largest top luxury group.

Therefore, after mastering such a large diamond resource, Blackwater and Kering can have a good time in the diamond industry without looking at Dai Beers's face. In the face of such an outlier, it would naturally be best if you could use thunder to directly deal with it, but if the other party doesn't get rid of himself, it can be regarded as burning high incense, so don't think about those useless ones.

Therefore, Dai Beers and the bigwigs behind him can only choose a rather painful decision but have to do it - win over each other!

Fortunately, it didn't embarrass Dai Beers and the bigwigs behind him, and there was even a bit of a surprise, because the bigwigs behind Blackwater and Kering agreed to talk to them quite facelessly.

Since the other party is so face-saving, then Dai Beers can't be too petty, so in addition to Dai Beers and Anglo American's chairman Gavin Reilly and Julian Thompson, there is another person who is also involved in this negotiation.

This person is none other than Nicky Oppenheimer, the next heir to the Oppenheimer family, the grandson of Anglo American's founder, Ernest Oppenheimer, the future Dai Beers and the new helm of Anglo American.

Originally, Nikki Oppenheimer should have taken over as chairman of Day Beers and Anglo American, but his father Harry Sr. thought that his son was not yet full-fledged, so he kept letting him temper one or two in the company.

This time, in order to show that the Oppenheimer family attaches great importance to this matter, Harry Sr. deliberately asked Nikki Oppenheimer, the future pillar of the family, to come forward. In fact, the old Harry guy still has a hook heart, in addition to expressing his respect for Blackwater and the forces behind Kering, the most important thing is that he also hopes to let his son catch up with this world-class super consortium.

On a yacht in the Atlantic, Nikki Oppenheimer, Gavin Reilly, and Julian Thompson met Su Chenyu, the bigwig behind Blackwater and Kering. To be honest, this time Nicky Oppenheimer and the three of them were indeed shocked, even if the three of them were in the top rich class in Africa, they were also well-informed, but they were still taken aback by the other party's position.

Let's not talk about this luxury yacht with a sky-high cost, after all, this thing can still be bought with money, and the most important thing is that in addition to a few armed gunboats on the sea not far from the luxury yacht, there is actually a cruiser doing a guard - I'll wipe it, this is amazing, this formation is a bit too big.

Hehe, in fact, Nikki Oppenheimer and others don't know that there is a nuclear submarine cruising under this sea area. There is no way, the seas here in Africa are really not peaceful, and the poor and crazy black millets have driven "small boats" and "bamboo rafts", operated AK47s, and quickly became a "glorious" pirate.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Su Chenyu made such a big battle, as for the cruiser and nuclear submarine, which are the "important weapons of the country", they are all configured by Blackwater's military base in the Atlantic. You know, as the world's largest armed military services company, Blackwater provides more than just private security business, they have begun to take over more defense and war outsourcing orders, including armed escort at sea.

Cruisers, destroyers, fighter jets, nuclear submarines, etc., are all standard equipment of Blackwater in major military bases and military training camps around the world, and can even crush ordinary small countries in terms of military strength - not too awesome.

As for why no one cares about it, just allow such a military armed monster as Blackwater to exist? Hehe, it's very simple, in some things, the big countries need a "black glove" to do things. As a result, Blackwater, which has strength, connections, and background, has become a default balance point for major countries.

Looking at the three of Nicky Oppenheimer, who had already reacted, Su Chenyu smiled and introduced each other to each other, and then said straight to the point: "Everyone is very busy, so there is no need to say extra polite words, let's start directly." ”

I didn't expect this big guy to be so direct, and after Nikki Oppenheimer and the three of them glanced at each other, Gavin Reilly said first: "Since Mr. Su said so, then let's talk about our plan directly." ”

Nodding, Su Chenyu picked up the coffee in his hand and smiled and motioned to Gavin Reilly to continue his "performance".

"We at Dai Beers want to work with Blackwater to maintain the healthy development of the international diamond industry. ”

This is quite high-sounding, what "jointly maintain the healthy development of the international diamond industry", everyone is an old driver, who doesn't know who - monopoly is monopoly.

"Blackwater and I have an unshirkable responsibility to maintain the healthy development of the international diamond industry, and I believe that this is also the responsibility of any company in the diamond industry. ”

Who doesn't know how to say beautiful words, no blowing or black, Su Chenyu said beautiful words, and he was definitely smoother than the three people in front of him, but his next words were not so "beautiful" for Nikki Oppenheimer.

"In order to jointly maintain the healthy development of the international diamond industry market, Blackwater and Kering have reached a cooperation agreement with the Russian diamond mining giant Alrosa Diamonds. As he spoke, Su Chenyu threw out a contract, and then continued: "Our two sides will carry out in-depth strategic cooperation in the market price and supply of diamonds, as well as the excavation and mining of diamond mines. ”

I wiped it, and after listening to Su Chenyu's words, Nikki Oppenheimer and the three of them exploded directly, which was like being struck by lightning - an international diamond cartel that could compete with Dai Beers was born.

As a rising star in the diamond mining industry, Russian diamond mining companies have developed quite rapidly in recent years, and their share in the international diamond market has also increased. Had it not been for the dominance of De Beers, Anglo American and the Oppenheimer family, Russia's state-owned diamond mining giants would have caught up. Even Dai Beers used his monopoly position to successfully "subdue" these Russian diamond giants and let them follow his own pace.

However, who would have thought that Blackwater would catch them off guard as soon as they came up, and they would take down diamond mining giants such as Alrosa Diamond Company at once. In this way, the threat faced by Dai Beers is greater, almost an opponent of his level suddenly stands in front of him, and if this matter is not resolved, then they will suffer the biggest crisis in a century.

Quickly recovering from his bewilderment, Nicky Oppenheimer, Gavin Reilly, and Julian Thompson exchanged glances and nodded imperceptibly. Then, Julian Thompson said in a solemn tone: "In that case, we Dai Beers also very much want to form a strategic alliance with Blackwater and Alrosa. I believe that in doing so, we will have a complete monopoly on more than 95% of the global diamond market. ”

Faced with this situation, Dai Beers also decided not to say anything beautiful and face-to-face, after all, the other side has already touched their roots, and it is better to directly show the real purpose of the carriage and horses.

However, at this time, although Dai Beers decided to tell the truth from the bottom of his heart, Su Chenyu was ready to take a look, after all, his purpose was not just this strategic alliance. You must know that just before meeting with Dai Beers, Su Chenyu took advantage of his special relationship with the Russian side to forcibly eat some shares of the Russian state-owned enterprise Alrosa Diamond Company.

In such a situation, now, Su Chenyu wants more!

Therefore, in the face of Julian Thompson's enthusiasm, Su Chenyu directly turned a blind eye, but kept muttering and not speaking.

I have to say that Nikki Oppenheimer is indeed a good person, and when he saw Su Chenyu's state, he directly asked with understanding: "What does Mr. Su want?"

"I want the whole diamond industry ......"
