The Winston Group's semi-annual meeting went smoothly, too smoothly, because the shareholders were not on this mind, and their eyes were on the gentleman's agreement between Calestan and Li Du.
Most people supported Calestan, but Cole supported Leedu.
He had a private banquet for Li Du in the evening and told him a lot about the Winston Group.
Calestan Fitz is a well-known gem merchant who, as he says, has been in the business for many years.
The Fitz family began by looking for rubies and sapphires and in the twentieth century for diamonds, and in doing so, they amassed a lot of wealth and even owned a diamond mine in Canada.
Cole's decision to invest in the Ekati diamond mine may have something to do with the Fitz family, but he is not very sure about this, but he guesses it afterwards.
Calestan is a man with a slick hand, and he did say on the board of directors that he was fully opposed to the Winston Group's investment in the Ekati diamond mine.
Privately, however, Cole said that Calestan had been encouraging him to invest in the mine, and that he had not been agitated directly, but on the sidelines.
He gathered a great deal of information from Cole, which eventually led to the fact that the Ekati diamond mine was a diamond-rich mine that was still very important.
With the support of these materials, Cole insisted on taking the mine, but when the mine was finally reclaimed, he found that it had become a ruin!
At this time, Calestan challenged Cole's decision at the board of directors because he had been opposed to Cole's decision to invest in the Ekati diamond mine, so he later won the support of a large number of shareholders.
At this point, Cole drank two glasses of wine in a row.
There is no doubt that this incident made him very depressed.
Later, Cole investigated the situation of the Ekati diamond mine and found that the Fitz family was connected to the mine, and the mine belonged to BHP Billiton, the world's largest mining group, but in fact part of the ownership was in the hands of the Fitz family.
He guessed that Calestan had both sides, and behind his back he was agitating to take the mine, and openly opposing him, and he had done all the good things he had done, and he had earned the money.
Of course, Cole admits that he blames Calestan for being shrewd, but that he is stupid.
What made Cole unhappy with Calestan was that last year the Swatch Group suddenly turned out against the Harry Winston Group and wanted to buy his group.
In this matter, Kalestein played a bad role, he continued to spread negative news as the group's No. 2 shareholder, and many shareholders were eager to sell their shares because of him.
Cole was very upset with Calestan, so after Kalestan's son happened to have a conflict with Li Du's side, he helped Li Du say good things and made Kalestan back down on this matter.
Cole didn't say this explicitly, and Li Du probably guessed what was going on.
Plus, he guessed a lot.
His conflict with Calestan came from the latter's son, or arguably from the fact that he had rented a villa in the Green River Valley, which Cole had given him.
So he couldn't help but think, did Cole know something and deliberately set him up?
What was happening now had to make him think about it, he wanted to rent a house in the Green River Valley, and Cole happened to know a suitable villa, which happened to be next to Calestan's house?
There are too many coincidences, right? Li Du has seen so many coincidences in the past two days, and he already feels that something is wrong.
On other terms, it might all fall into place.
Cole and Kalestan have a bad relationship, he has suffered losses, he wants revenge, he wants to deal with Kalestan, but he doesn't know how to do it himself.
So the real coincidence happened, when Li Du was about to rent a house, he called, and learned that Li Du wanted to rent a villa in the Green River Valley, so he thought of a house next to Calestan's house.
Even, the house had something to do with him, or maybe he had something to do with the man named Abel.
Cole and Calestan knew each other very well, and he must have known what his two sons were, and knew that with Li Du's petty temper, he would definitely fight with each other if he lived next to him.
Later, as he said, there was indeed a conflict between the two sides, and the side of Kalestan's son suffered.
Just as Calestan was about to settle the matter, Cole stepped in as a good old man, and he unilaterally contacted Calestan to take a step back.
Obviously, Calestan couldn't swallow this breath, especially after discovering the relationship between Cole and Li Du, and he couldn't swallow this breath, so just like that, things came to this point step by step.
Li Du and Cole became an alliance and worked together against Calestan.
If everything is as he guessed, then Cole has obviously made a clever move, he doesn't have to pay anything, and the two major shareholders of the group have become mortal enemies.
If everything was as he suspected, then Cole was not as gentle and kind as he thought he was.
If everything is as guessed, then Li Du will not let Cole use himself in vain, and he will fight back, because he is not willing to be a pawn that others can use at will.
Either way, all this is just his speculation, and the truth of the matter will have to be left for later investigation, and he must now find a way to find the diamond mine.
Cole helped him by sending him some private information about the Winston Group, including the Winston Group's investigation of some mines around the world.
Before looking for a diamond field, Li Du first learned about diamonds, and he lacked knowledge about this gemstone.
As we all know, diamonds are made up of a single element, carbon, which is essentially the same thing as coal.
It is also well known that diamond is also composed of a single carbon element.
Diamonds and diamonds are closely related, some people think that the two sides are equivalent, but in fact this is not the case, diamonds belong to diamonds, but it reaches the gem grade of diamonds.
That is, all diamonds are diamonds, but not all diamonds are diamonds.
It is said that diamond is a scam, but it does have its rarity, such as the formation time, it takes hundreds of millions to billions of years to form under extreme high pressure and high temperature conditions.
In addition, Calestan is not wrong about the fact that the production of diamonds is very low, and most of this gemstone is extracted from ore, which is called kimberlite ore.
Many Chinese may have heard of the Kimberlite brand, which is actually named after Kimberlite ore.
According to statistics, it takes 250 tons of kimberlite ore to obtain one carat of rough diamonds, and after processing into finished products, only 0.25 carats of real diamonds can be obtained.
So, how much is a carat?0.2 grams, which means that 250 tons of diamonds can only extract 0.05 grams of polished diamonds......
When he saw these materials, Li Du felt a little numb, and he found that he might have made a bit hasty in his bet!
