Cole is a good guy, as can be seen from his attitude towards Li Du.

He never had any contempt for Li Du because of his ethnicity, age and identity, every time the two got along, he did all the courtesy, and when he learned that Li Du and Kalestan had a misunderstanding, he hurried to communicate.

Even, he gave Li Du a lot of face in this matter, and unilaterally communicated with Kalestan, so that he did not pursue the matter and preserved the friendship between the two parties.

But from the perspective of a large group leader, Cole's good temper is not suitable.

For leaders of a large group like them, they must have a temper, an attitude of not saying anything, and an authority that cannot be provoked.

Cole was so good-tempered, and Li Du gradually saw that most of the shareholders did not take him seriously, and they respected Calestan more.

In this regard, Li Du was very angry, Cole was very good to him, he was his friend, and Calestan was obviously replying to them rather than the market economy.

So he decided to go down and said with a smile: "The group's diamond inventory is at a warning value, and it really needs to shrink the kugan at this time." But what is the need to preserve melee and small diamonds? Save it and we go to sell it to the low-end market? ”

Calestan glanced at him lightly and said, "Mr. Li, please forgive me, you don't know enough about the diamond market, and you are not suitable to participate in such an in-depth topic." ”

The intention of the attack was too obvious, Li Du's face changed, and he simply tore apart the illusion of peace.

Cole noticed it, and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "The sale of broken diamonds and small diamonds has no impact on the development of the group, and can even be exchanged for cash flow to support the group's better sale of afternoon series and starry night series jewelry." ”

Afternoon and Starry Night are the two main luxury collections of the Winston Group, as you can probably hear from the name, the afternoon series is Fire Opal Jewelry, and the Starry Night Series is Black Opal Jewelry.

Kalestan's expression was sincere, and he said: "Mr. President, this decision is not wise, just like I have repeatedly advised you not to take over the Ekati diamond mine, are you not suffering enough in this regard?" ”

It's okay to say this expression and tone, but what is the word?

Li Du frowned, the Ekati diamond mine was the biggest wrong investment in the history of the Winston Group, investing half a billion dollars, and it ended up with a mess.

It was because of this incident that Cole caused his prestige on the board of directors of the group to be greatly damaged, and he almost sent the group into the abyss from which it will never recover.

This incident has greatly affected his prestige in the group, and these shareholders now trust him instead of Kalestan, presumably because of the investment mistakes in the diamond mines.

Li Du got up and said coldly: "Mr. Fitz, you are not the think tank of the group, you are just a shareholder, just like me, we have the right to know many policies, but we have no decision-making power." ”

Kalestan sneered and said, "What, you think you have decision-making power?" ”

He looked at the other shareholders and said: "We people here, the shares of the Winston Group in our hands are not bought by ourselves, most of them are passed down by our father, we have a relationship with the Winston Group for decades, in your eyes, we can't even say a word?" ”

The other shareholders were encouraged by his words and looked at Li Du with indignation, and it was clear that they had succeeded in bringing them to the opposite side of Li Du.

Li Du didn't care, he said: "You can say it casually, you can also oppose it, but it's not for the sake of the group, you should be very clear." ”

Calestan laughed: "It is for the sake of the group that we suggested to the president, do you know how much diamonds are in demand in the world now?" Do you know how many luxury companies are stockpiling diamonds? Do you know the range of international diamond price variations? ”

This is a clear bully of Li Du without common sense, just like he thought before, diamonds are very beautiful, the number of diamonds put into the market is small, and the price is expensive.

However, this is not because the value of diamonds is so large, in fact, there are quite a lot of diamond reserves that can be developed internationally, especially in Russia and Africa, where there are still a large number of large diamond mines waiting to be developed.

A large number of diamond dealers, local warlords, and governments control these diamond mines, and in order to maintain the stability of the diamond market, they do not mine large quantities of diamonds.

In fact, diamonds have never been in demand in the primary market, and Tang Chaoyang and the others did not have relevant channels to purchase diamonds in large quantities, but the Winston Group did.

Li Du chuckled: "You mean, there is very little diamond mining now?" Few high-quality diamond mines? ”

"Yes, the more high-quality diamonds are mined, the less they are mined, so we'd better keep the diamonds in the warehouse and wait for a suitable opportunity to sell them as finished products," said Kalestan. ”

Listening to his words, several thoughts arose in Li Du's heart.

He said lightly: "I think there are not many high-quality diamond mines in the world, on the contrary, there are many of them. ”

Calestan laughed and said disdainfully, "You are too optimistic, our family has been searching for diamond deposits for many generations, and I know the rarity best. ”

After a pause, he turned to a contemptuous smile: "Mr. Li, with all due respect, you may confuse diamond mining with storage auctions, let alone looking for diamond mines, even if you find a diamond mine, the difficulty of searching for diamonds from it is not comparable to you finding rags from the warehouse." ”

Li Du said: "Really? What if I can find a new diamond mine for the group? ”

Calestan laughed, "You should ask, what to do if you wake up from your dream." ”

As soon as he said this, several shareholders laughed.

Anyone can see that Calestan's attitude towards Li Du is to treat a child, and in their eyes, Li Du is indeed just a child.

Li Du said: "It's better to make a gentleman's agreement, I will help the group to find a diamond mine, if you can find a new mine worth investing in, you will transfer the equity of the group in your hand to me at the current market price, how about it?" ”

Kalestein snorted and said, "I'm not insulting you when I say you're a child, you're taking business too simply." ”

"Don't you dare?" Li Du smiled and asked, "You know in your heart that it is not difficult to find a new diamond mine, just as you know in your heart that disposing of these broken diamonds is a better choice for the group, right?" ”

Kalestan's expression froze, he looked straight at Li Du and said, "You can't find it?" ”

Li Du snapped his fingers and said: "I will ...... the equity of the group in my hand"

"I don't need to." Calestan interrupted him.

Li Du said: "Okay, then I'll give you 10 million dollars, how about it?" Within this year, if I can't find such a diamond mine, I'll give you 10 million dollars. ”

Calestan slapped the table and said, "Make a contract." ”
