Rupert had a nonchalant expression on his face when Armand's phone rang suddenly. "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. Armand picked up the phone, and after seeing the caller's number, he apologized to Xiao Peng and walked to the distance to answer the phone.

Xiao Peng looked at Armand answering the phone over there, he didn't know what he said, all in all, his attitude was very excited, he was still gentle just now. And now it's all of a sudden.

Not long after, Armand hung up the phone and walked back with a look of anger on his face. Viciously took the two suitcases back from the assistant's hands and handed them to Rupert: "Only this time!"

Rupert took the box and handed it to the bodyguard beside him: "Of course, there can't be a next time." You don't have that kind of luck anymore! I just transferred you 1.5 million euros, how good, in the blink of an eye, you made 100,000 euros! You make money really fast. After speaking, he walked up to Xiao Peng and said to Xiao Peng with a smug face: "If you sell me this Opal just now, the extra 100,000 euros will be yours." It's a pity that you don't have a good eye and can't make this money!" After speaking, he snorted coldly and led people away with an arrogant face.

Xiao Peng was speechless: "Armand, what's going on? Isn't he from Cartier? How can he take these black opals from your Jacques Vanbao?"

Armand sighed: "Whether it's Jacques Van Po or Cartier, they actually belong to a group of companies. ”

"What?" Xiao Peng really didn't know this.

Armand said: "In fact, almost all luxury brands belong to the three luxury groups, namely the French LVMH Group, the Swiss Richemont Group and the French PPR (Paris Spring) Group, such as the well-known Louis Vuitton, Takahashi Kenzo, Givenchy, Fendi, Dior, etc., are all brands under the LVMH Group, and such as Dunhill, Montblanc, Vacheron Constantin, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Piaget, Van Cleef & Arpels, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, etc., all belong to the Richemont Group. Brands such as YSL Yves Saint Laurent and GUCCI belong to the Paris Spring Group. Like Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, they are actually two different brands under the same group. ”

Xiao Peng paused for a moment: "Then aren't you all operating separately?"

Armand nodded.

"Then why do you still give them this batch of black opals?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Armand sighed: "The problem is that the founder of the Swiss Richemont Group, which is the South African billionaire Andon Rupert, now belongs to John Rupert. The one just now was called Nicholas Rupert. ”

Xiao Peng asked Armand curiously, "But aren't you operating separately and managing them separately? Why do you want to return these black Opals to them?"

Armand sighed: "The three major luxury groups have many sub-brands, and they are said to be operated and managed separately, but after all, the resources are limited. In terms of resource allocation, it is only natural that brands with good sales make way for brands with poor sales. Just now, they put pressure on our brand through the group, and the group has increased the promotional traffic of our brand in the next two quarters, including the display of this year's French Fashion Week. In exchange, the Black Opal was transferred to Cartier. ”

"Ahem. Maxim interrupted the conversation between the two: "Xiao, don't you still have Black Opal to sell? Since Armand needs it so much, why don't you sell it to him?" ”

"Shaw, you also have Black Opal?" Armand said, grimacing.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Well, I do have some there, but there is a problem." ”

Armand hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?"

Xiao Peng sighed: "I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it!"

"Huh?" Armand was stunned: "What do you mean I'm afraid I can't eat it? Although our Van Cleef & Arpels liquidity is not as exaggerated as the top brands such as GUCCI and Cartier, if we can't even buy raw materials, then it's not a bad thing? You underestimate the strength of our brand, right?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay, then you can go with me." By the way, Maxim, Yang Meng and I won't go back. The two of us were going to go to the Great Barrier Reef. ”

Maxim was stunned: "What about your mining area?"

"Throw it there, and dig it again when you're interested. You can't just come to Australia to stay in one place and mine. Xiao Peng and the others said as they walked.

Buck whistled, "So I hate you, you rich people's lives make us envious, jealous and hateful!"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I've been digging mines for a long time very seriously." ”

Buck pouted: "Then how much can you dig?" Several people walked to the parking lot together and came to the side of Xiao Peng's RV.

Yang Meng wanted to open the door of the cab, but Xiao Peng said: "Just open the door of the cab? ”

Who knew that Yang Meng looked reluctant when he heard it: "I knew you wanted to pretend to be forced, and you will clean it up in a while!"

The conversation between the two made everyone puzzled, this black Opal is in the back compartment, what do you mean by opening the cab? Of course you have to open the rear compartment? Is there anything strange? Who knows that Yang Meng has done something that everyone does not understand, he took out two blankets from the cab and spread them directly on the ground in front of the rear compartment door.

Everyone was puzzled, looking at Yang Meng, not knowing what he was going to do.

At this moment, a row of luxury cars drove over and stopped next to several people, the windows were rolled down, and it was Nicholas Rupert who was sitting in the car, with a cigar in his mouth and a glass of red wine in his hand.

At this moment, he was looking at Xiao Peng and the others with a smug expression: "Hey, Armand, it looks like you're going to go home empty-handed today." Armand snorted coldly, ignoring him. Rupert turned his head and looked at Xiao Peng: "Hey, miner, remember to keep your eyes open when looking for a buyer in the future and choose the right buyer." In this way, you can make more money. But it's a pity. You've lost my best client. I'm not going to do any business with someone like you who has no vision in my life. To be precise, you can't do business with you Chinese, one by one short-sighted!"

Yang Meng said impatiently: "Are you finished?" Xiao Peng, can't you open the door?"

Xiao Peng's face was full of disdain: "No one pays attention to him, a psychopath talks to himself there, what do you care about him? ”

"You!" Rupert snorted coldly, "I still spread two blankets on the ground, and I don't know who is mentally ill!"

Yang Meng squinted at him, and directly stretched out his hand to open the car door, only to hear a crackling sound, and a pile of black Opal rough stones rolled out of the carriage. Everyone's eyes were straight now.

Maxim's eyes widened: "You've dug up so many Opals these days?"

Xiao Peng sighed: "Yes, it's bad luck here, so I dug so little." With such a small amount, Young Master Rupert can't look down on it, right?"

Rupert came back to his senses when he heard Xiao Peng call his name, and he was stunned when he looked at the black Opal. He took a breath of cool air, stepped out of the car, looked at the full carriage of black Opal, and couldn't say a word in shock.

Yang Meng opened the co-pilots, threw the black Opal that fell on the ground into the co-pilot's cab, and muttered as he threw it: "You pretend to be a force, I have to clean up for a long time, you are a tired stupid boy?"

"You still don't dig much?" Buck looked at Xiao Peng, "If you don't pretend to be forced, we may become good friends." You're equal to three or five years of Black Opal production in Lightning Ridge!"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "I'm just telling the truth, besides, even if I don't pretend to be forced, we can't become good friends, right?" ”

Everyone looked at Opal on the ground, Yang Meng threw them into the passenger cab one by one, and more importantly, there were a lot of top-notch black Opals in it, so Xiao Peng fell to the ground so casually. This Nima is a loser.

Rupert coughed dryly: "That, Mr. Miner, Mr. Chinese Miner。。。。。 Can we talk?"

Xiao Peng didn't even bird him, but said to Armand on the side: "Armand, I'm right, right? You can't eat my black Opal here, right?"

Armand came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Peng with a shocked expression: "Mr. Xiao, where did you get so many black opals?"

Xiao Peng glanced at him: "Where else can it come from?" It must have been dug out of the mine." ”

Rupert shouted, "Mr. Xiao, right? He can't eat what I can eat! You can transfer these black opals to us, and we can give you a good price!"

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "I really have no interest in doing business with a short-sighted person like you. By the way, aren't you unwilling to do business with the Chinese? You have a kind of saying that in the future, if you don't sell your goods to the Chinese, then it is called domineering, as long as you can do that your group does not sell goods to the Chinese for a year, if your group does not go out of business, I will follow your surname!"

In fact, if real luxury goods are not sold to Chinese for a year, the turnover may only drop by 10%, so it seems that it will not go out of business, but the impact will be too great!

With the improvement of China's economic level, the country's status is getting higher and higher. It is now the world's second largest economy. Do you dare to say that you don't sell things to the Chinese? That will cause consequences that their group can not bear! The intangible losses caused will far outweigh the economic losses! It is strange if you do not go out of business!

Never underestimate the centripetal force of a nation and the influence of a country.

Take, for example, the entertainment industry.

It cannot be denied that there are a lot of brain-dead fans in China, and they are generally young girls. Their existence has almost become the foundation of the entertainment industry.

For example, the Korean entertainment industry, which is supported by these brainless fans, such as Zhang Nara, who was banned, was banned because she told the truth------ "I have no money to go to China, and the money here is easy to make." Another meaning is: money comes quickly.

Later, Zhang Nara was banned, but the title of being stupid with many people in China was leaked out, and countless Korean stars and Korean dramas in China are money donation machines.

What is the result? THAAD is making a fuss, and there are no idols in front of the nation! Now those Korean stars are almost out of food, and those in China who go to South Korea to make money have sharpened their heads and want to come back to make money. There are at least a few thousand Chinese boys and girls who are trainees in South Korea, and now which one of them does not want to run back to China? Why? South Korea has no way to make money! Those who have a way have come back, and almost all of those who have no way have appeared in South Korea。。。。。。

Another example is Justin Bieber, who is popular all over the world, but he can't come to China to make money, why? He won't let you come at all!

Sister Fruit is awesome, right? After fighting with Taylor Swift for so many years, I finally can participate in the Victoria's Secret show this year, ready to fight with Taylor, and make a wave of popularity and money. The result: let you criticize the so-called 'Taiwan flag', and as a result, you can't even get on the Victoria's Secret stage, right?

Gigi Hadid, known as one of the top supermodels of the young generation, what is the result? The Victoria's Secret show can't go up, right?

These things were unimaginable, who would still listen to China's protests? Who would have thought that China could have such a great influence? Now? Do you dare to try against China?

When the country is strong, it will have the confidence to speak! What is the world's second largest luxury company, you dare to say directly that you will not do business with Chinese? Let you go out of business in minutes, don't believe it? You try!
