Chapter 223: Win-win

Fang Mingyuan looked at Zheng Yutong a little strangely, as far as he knew, the source of the diamonds of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery should be from De Beers United Mining Company, and now he asked about Alrosa Company, could it be the cooperation between De Beers United Mining Company and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery and Gold Company, what is the problem?

Zheng Yutong sighed softly and said: "It's not that the Middle East market is making trouble!" It turned out that with Chow Tai Fook Jewelry & Gold Company entering the Middle East market, in a short period of time, it has achieved explosive growth in performance, which has undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among European and American companies that originally occupied the Middle East market. On the one hand, these companies are blocking Chow Tai Fook Jewellery in the Middle East market, and on the other hand, they are putting pressure on De Beers United Mining Company to suppress the number of diamond embryos that Chow Tai Fook Jewellery can obtain each year.

In particular, with the slogan "Diamonds are eternal, one lasts forever" has been vigorously promoted by the International Diamond Promotion Center, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, people have more and more people choosing diamond rings for wedding rings, and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery & Gold has seen a significant increase in demand for diamonds during this period. This hand made Chow Tai Fook Jewellery and Gold immediately miserable, and the shortage of raw materials seriously restricted its development.

Zheng Yutong did not negotiate with De Beers United Mining Company, but De Beers United Mining Company was also helpless about it. After all, how can Liliang, a member of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry & Gold, be compared with several well-known Shijie well-known jewelry companies.

In desperation, Zheng Yutong had to turn his attention to other diamond suppliers on Shijie, Russia's Alrosa Company.

It was also at this time that he suddenly remembered that Old Man Guo had mentioned that Fang Mingyuan had some connections in Russia, and some of the Fang family's industries were also involved in the Russian market.

So this time, he also wanted to ask if Fang Mingyuan had any connections in the Alrosa Company.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, De Beers United Mining Company's hand was something he hadn't thought of before.

"Grandpa Zheng, Nikolasky, the president of the Alrosa company, and I have known each other for a long time, and we had contacts before the collapse of the Soviet Union. If you want to buy diamond embryos from Alrosa Company, there should be no problem!" Fang Mingyuan thought for a moment and said, "However, if you urgently need to solve the shortage of raw materials, then I have a batch of diamond embryos in my hand, which I can provide to you first." ”

"That's great!" Zheng Yutong grabbed Fang Mingyuan's hand and said with a smile on his face.

This is good news that Zheng Yutong didn't expect, originally in his mind, as long as Fang Mingyuan can set up a line between himself and the senior management of Alrosa Company, so that he can have a clear understanding of the current situation of Alrosa Company, the negotiation can be carried out in a targeted manner. Who would have thought that Fang Mingyuan and President Nikolasky of Alrosa Company were old acquaintances, and listening to this tone, I am afraid that the relationship between the two is extraordinary!

And what made Zheng Yutong feel even more unbelievable was that Fang Mingyuan actually said that he now had a batch of diamond embryos in his hands, but he had never heard of the fact that some of the industries under the name of the Fang family were involved in the jewelry industry. However, this is good news for the Zheng family. After all, it will take a lot of time to negotiate with Alrosa to buy diamond embryos, and whether Alrosa will also control sales of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery and Gold because of De Beers United's attitude.

"Mingyuan, how many diamond embryos do you have in your hand?" Zheng Yutong asked again after being ecstatic.

"Well, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, when I went to the Soviet Union to inspect the investment environment, I happened to get acquainted with Nikolaysky, the general manager of the Yakutia branch of the Alrosa Company at that time, and from him, I learned that the Alrosa Company had a large number of diamond embryos in stock at that time, and intended to sell them to the outside world to make up for the company's shortfall. Later, I felt that diamonds would definitely have an important place in the luxury market in the future. I decided to buy it. Fang Mingyuan said casually as he walked, "It's not a lot, it probably cost more than four billion rubles, and then I bought a lot of it one after another." I can't remember the total amount. ”

Zheng Yutong was already speechless at Fang Mingyuan in surprise at this time!

Of course, Zheng Yutong would not think that it was a ruble after the great devaluation, but it was a ruble before the devaluation. Zheng Yutong didn't know what the exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar was at that time, but he knew that this transaction, if it was converted into US dollars, would definitely be hundreds of millions!

I bought hundreds of millions of dollars of diamond embryos in one go! Such a big courage made Zheng Yutong, who had been in the shopping mall for a long time and had seen countless large-scale transactions, couldn't help but feel broken!

"Huh......" Zheng Yutong let out a sigh of relief and said, "Mingyuan, add a discount to the market price and sell a batch to my family, how about it?"

Fang Mingyuan shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zheng, you are out of sight like this! I bought this batch of diamond embryos early, and at that time, because the Alrosa Company was eager to get cash, and I bought a large amount, it was basically sold at a fifty percent discount at the market price at that time. In the past few years, the price of diamond embryos has been rising, and the profit can be said to be very rich. In this way, if you want it, it will be transferred to you at 85% off the market price!"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course!" Zheng Yutong said in a loud voice, a few years ago, the diamond embryo worth hundreds of millions of dollars, put it now, it is almost enough to ensure the needs of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Gold Company for several years, plus Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Gold Co., Ltd. obtained the diamond embryo from De Beers United Mining Company, even if Chow Tai Fook Jewellery & Gold Co., Ltd. expands in the inland market, I believe that in the short term, there is no need to worry about the shortage of diamond sources. As long as it survives this difficult period, I believe that the company can reach an agreement with Alrosa to obtain a stable source of diamond embryos. At that time, there is no fear that De Beers United Mining Company will get stuck in its neck again!

After solving the problem that has been plaguing Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Store recently, Zheng Yutong felt that his body was three points lighter, and his mood was indescribably comfortable, and at the same time, he looked at Fang Mingyuan's eyes with a little more appreciation.

More than 4 billion rubles of diamond embryos were purchased at a 50% discount of the market price at that time, and now, even if they are sold to themselves at 85% off the market price, the profit in the middle is enough to multiply this amount of money several times. If Zheng Yutong knew that the more than 4 billion rubles at that time were all loans from the State Bank of the Soviet Union, and later, when Aso Kazuki repaid the loan, he only paid a few million dollars. For this alone, Fang Mingyuan's profit is more than 100 times! RO@.
