After drinking, Cao Fan introduced Li Du to the man in the house. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wang Kun, who came to tease them before, is a real estate developer who owns a good real estate company in China, and now he is coming to Australia to explore overseas markets.
Li Du was quite surprised, this person looked like he was in his thirties, and he was actually in charge of a real estate company with assets of billions?
Others are also high-ranking companies, either companies or executives of large conglomerates, and they work in a variety of locations, from Australia to Congo, from China to the United States.
Listening to Cao Fan's introduction, they have known each other before, and they have a good relationship, and they are people in a small circle.
This meeting was because some people were traveling in Australia and some were here for business, so they made an appointment.
Cao Fan's introduction to Li Du is the majority shareholder of the Hai Rui Winston Group, and he did not say how big it is, which aroused the interest of many people.
Sitting in the crowd, Li Du and the people around him kept raising their glasses and drinking.
In the same circle, there are still different small circles between them, and those who sit with Li Du are all engaged in the luxury industry, such as Cao Fan, such as a man named Liu Junhui, who is a senior director of Giorgio Armani in the United States.
What caught Li Du's attention was a dark-skinned middle-aged man named Wang Zhongshi, whose work was a bit similar to what Li Du was doing now, digging for gemstones.
Li Du digs black opals, and Wang Zhongshi digs diamonds.
Knowing that he was the major shareholder of the Winston Group, Wang Zhongshi was very concerned about him, and took the initiative to come over and toast him with a glass of wine: "Brother Li, I am older than you, I shouted at you brother, I drank this glass, you are free." ”
Li Du followed him and toasted, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang is polite." ”
Wang Zhongshi patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, it's not that Brother Wang is polite, it's that you are indeed a good man, a good man among our descendants of Yan and Huang, and a good amount of wine." ”
Cao Fan interjected: "Brother Li's alcohol consumption is good, but don't think about irrigating people, we Chinese can unite outside." ”
Li Du smiled and said nothing, Cao Fan treated people warmly and spoke sincerely, but he couldn't help but think of the Ma Zhi'an who cheated him when he was in Arizona.
Wang Zhongshi glared at Cao Fan and said, "Who poured him, this is the first time we have met, and we must drink one." I'm too lazy to tell you, come, Brother Li, we have to chatter. ”
He is in the diamond business, and the Harry Winston Group is one of the top diamond companies in the world, and they do business with each other.
Wang Zhongshi asked Li Du about the diamond market, but Li Du didn't understand this, and he bought the shares of Hai Rui Winston Group because of gambling, not analysis.
So he took the initiative to change the topic and asked: "Brother Wang, are you digging for diamonds in Congo? I heard that the diamond country in Africa is South Africa, do you have any gains from digging diamonds in Congo?"
"Indeed, South Africa has the highest diamond reserves and production in Africa, and Congo's mining industry is mainly copper, cobalt and gold, which account for 80% of their mining output," Wang said. ”
"However, everybody knows that there are diamonds in South Africa, and they are all panning for diamonds in South Africa. Congo has few diamond mines and low output, but the competition is also small. ”
Li Du asked: "How about the harvest in the Congo? Is your yield stable? If it is stable, I can help you contact the president of the Winston Group, maybe this can help you." ”
Wang Zhongshi's eyes lit up, this was his purpose, he wanted to spread the sales channel to the Winston Group.
"That's a good feeling," he said with great interest, "Congolese diamond mines are relatively small, and the output is indeed unstable, but I am unstable and there are other people's mines, we Chinese are very united in Congo, and the brothers who engage in diamond mines have an alliance, and Brother Wang may be a big brother in the alliance because he is older and knows more friends." ”
Li Du asked, "Then what is the approximate output of your alliance?" Tell me a few data......
Cao Fan touched him lightly with his elbow, and interjected again: "The big guys finally sat together, talked less about work and more about life, came and went, drank and drank." ”
Li Du knew that he did it on purpose, but he didn't understand what he meant.
Taking advantage of the drinking, Cao Fan explained to Li Du in a low voice: "Brother Li, you are also in the gemstone business, and you should know that in this industry, it is very taboo to ask the other party about the core data of gemstones when you are not familiar with it." ”
Li Du was a little stunned, he didn't know this statement, but he could understand it.
Cao Fan said again: "And don't be in a hurry to ask these questions, go back and talk to President Winston first, see if the Winston Group is interested in buying diamonds from the outside world, and then contact Lao Wang." ”
Li Du suddenly realized and said, "I understand, thank you Brother Cao for your advice." ”
Cao Fan laughed: "What am I Brother Cao, you can call me Ergou or Brother Dog like everyone else, that's my nickname, I still like my nickname." ”
Later, Li Du and Wang Zhongshi continued to chat, not talking about the specific data of mining, and more inclined to some interesting things that they had encountered each other.
Wang Zhongshi said: "Brother Li, if you are interested in mining, I suggest you go to Africa, Africa is indeed a cornucopia, and it is more reliable to make a fortune there than in Australia." ”
Li Du said: "I'm digging black opals in Australia now, and I don't know what to do when I go to Africa." ”
"When you go, you will definitely find a business that can make you rich," Wang Zhongshi said firmly, "Do you know what is the average cycle of a millionaire born to a Chinese miner in Africa?"
"How much?"
"16 and a half days!" Wang Zhongshi said, "For example, after digging diamonds and finding a suitable mineral source, we have an average profit of 30,000 US dollars per car, and two cars a day, as long as we work in a row, the net profit is 1.8 million yuan per month!"
Li Du exclaimed: "Business is so good?"
Cao Fan smiled: "It's definitely not that simple. ”
Wang Zhongshi nodded and said: "Yes, the biggest problem in mining in Africa is public security, as long as you can save your life, you will definitely be able to make money." ”
"It's not that easy. A man named Song Hongjun snorted, "A fellow of mine dug for diamonds in South Africa, worked for half a year, worked hard to get some diamonds, and on the way to the airport, the black man who was the driver was shot in the head!"
Wang Zhongshi sighed and said: "You are right, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Congo, and I have been pointed to the head with a gun several times. ”
He paused, and then said: "But if you want to get rich, you have to take risks, the ancestor said well, wealth and wealth are in danger!"
Listening to their conversation, Li Du became a little curious about Africa, although it was dangerous over there, it seemed that there were many opportunities.
