Episode 10 Chapter 67
6 After listening to his words, Kou, Zhou Ting, and Zhang Jufeng nodded one after another, unanimously believing that what he said made sense.
Zhou Ting asked anxiously, "Brother Xiao, what are your plans?" Tell me about it. ”
Xiao Fang shook his head and said, "Wait for the opportunity!" Wait for a suitable opportunity......"
Nanhongmen is actively preparing for the war in Shanghai, and the Green Gang is also preparing, although he suffered a big defeat in Guangzhou, and also lost Qiu Ping, a general, which made Han Fei feel distressed and headache, but the timely return of the deputy gang leader Tang Tang still made Han Fei feel a lot more at ease, especially when he came back, he also brought back a large amount of money, which was equivalent to giving Han Fei a reassurance, and he began to have the confidence to redeem the current rout.
Shanghai is calm on the surface, there is no movement, but in fact, the undercurrent is rolling, and the big war on the underworld may suddenly break out at any time.
Wei Zidan was not as nervous as Nanhongmen and the Green Gang, and he never took the Green Gang in his eyes all along, which was directly related to the rapid defeat of the Green Gang forces in Nanjing.
The situation in Shanghai was complicated, but Xie Wendong did not have time to take care of it, because he was about to deal with several large international jewelers who were going to China.
In Angola, the polished diamonds were processed two days faster than Tony expected, and he emailed the images to several of the jewellers, which immediately caught the attention of the big jewelers, as he expected. There are only a handful of routes in the world that can provide a source of polished diamonds, and now that a new source is suddenly appearing, how can jewelers let go of this opportunity to hear the news.
By this time, Tony had also returned to China, bringing back several polished diamonds. The size is between three and five carats.
When he saw the diamond, Xie Wendong felt that this thing was very ugly, similar to the stone that had changed color, but now after seeing the finished diamond, he couldn't help but be dazzled, the round diamond is small and exquisite, crystal clear, clean and transparent, put in the sun, reflecting the seven-color lighting, in the hand, people can't put it down.
Five-carat diamonds are still relatively rare, and Dong Xinlei and others gathered around Xie Wendong, scrambling to take them over and admire them.
"Don't rob, don't rob! This diamond is five carats and is worth $200,000 or $300,000! Tony shouted from the side, although few people around him could understand what he was saying.
The day after Tony's return to China, international jewelers also came to China, and they came in five people from all over the world, from the United States, Europe, Japan and South Africa.
Xie Wendong did not meet with them alone, but waited for all the people who should have arrived and then found them together to the headquarters of Beihongmen.
Several jewelers are billionaires, and there are a lot of people and bodyguards in their entourage. In the headquarters of Beihongmen, there were no less than 100 bodyguards standing outside the meeting room alone, and as far as the eye could see, it was black.
Meeting room.
Five jewelers sat around the table and greeted each other before Xie Wendong arrived. They all know each other, after all, international competitors, although on the surface they seem to be smiling and talking intimately, but in fact, they all hope that each other will die or go bankrupt soon.
After ten minutes of speaking, Xie Wendong walked into the living room slowly with Tony and the others.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Xie Wendong looked around at everyone with a smile, walked to the seat in the middle and sat down, and then said loudly: "I am Xie Wendong, and I am very grateful to you for being able to rush to China as scheduled." ”
He spoke in English, which the five jewelers could understand, and they were surprised to learn that the young man in front of him was Xie Wendong. Before coming to China, they had already investigated clearly, Xie Wendong was a big brother of China's underworld, and even Tony Victor, the big drug lord in the southern United States, did things for him, which shows his strength and power, but no one expected him to be just a young man in his early twenties. But looking at the level of respect that Tony Victor who was sitting next to him, there should be no fake.
"Hello, Mr. Xie! My name is Kevin Walker and I run a jewelry business in the United States. A Westerner in his fifties bowed slightly and said to Xie Wendong, and at the same time, nodded slightly to Tony.
Tony smiled and nodded in response.
The two of them are in the United States and don't know each other, but they have heard of each other.
At this time, the other four people also bowed their bodies and introduced themselves, Xie Wendong was very unfamiliar with their names, but Tony knew that these five people were all giants in the jewelry industry, and each of them had a monopoly on a considerable market, and any one of them could determine the fluctuation of jewelry prices in a region.
After listening to their introduction, Xie Wendong nodded to several people with a smile, and after they were finished, he smiled and said: "Okay, I think we don't need to talk more nonsense between us, everyone can come all the way to China, mainly to see samples." With that, he turned his head and said to Tony, "Take out the diamond for everyone to see." ”
"Okay!" Tony took out a black leather pouch from his pocket, opened it, poured five diamonds out of it, and handed them to the five giants of the jewelry industry.
The five of them took it one after another, took the diamond in their hands and looked at it, and then handed it to the entourage around them. Soon, the entourage took out a magnifying glass for professional identification of diamonds, carefully examined it, and after a while, several people raised their heads one after another, nodded to their respective bosses, and at the same time stretched out their thumbs, indicating that they were first-class goods and first-class cut.
Seeing this, the five of them were shocked and felt that this trip to China was worthwhile.
A Japanese jeweler named Yamamoto Goji asked with a smile: "I like Mr. Xie's diamonds very much, I don't know how much the annual output can reach?" ”
Xie Wendong didn't understand this, and looked at Tony.
"There will be more than 2,000 diamonds of the same cut, the same quality, more than three carats per year, and 6,000 to 8,000 diamonds under three carats, but of course, this is just a conservative number, and the actual production may increase," Tony said. ”
So much! When everyone heard this, they were secretly surprised. The total value of such a large number of diamonds is estimated to be about six or seven billion US dollars, and it is difficult to eat it if one jeweler buys it, but if five people divide it equally, each person will feel that it is too little.
Yamamoto asked again suspiciously, "What about the price?" ”
Tony shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's do it according to international standards!" However, it was the first time that we had worked together, and Mr. Tse agreed to reduce the price by 10 percent. ”
Yamamoto Tsuyoshi showed surprise in his eyes, a 10 percent reduction in the price is equivalent to a 10 percent increase in his profits, and due to the large cost base, 10 percent is a considerable amount. He laughed and said, "It seems that Mr. Xie really got a cornucopia in Angola!" Congratulations! After a pause, his round fat face flushed slightly, and he pretended to be calm and said indifferently: "In this way, I want to contract Mr. Xie with forty percent of the annual output, and I can pay five percent of the deposit in advance, what does Mr. Xie think?" Listening to the tone of his words, it seemed that Xie Wendong had taken a big advantage.
Xie Wendong has never seen anyone, although the other party is a cunning jewelry giant, but just looking at his eyes, he almost guessed his thoughts, and did not express his position immediately, Xie Wendong looked at the others with a smile.
Kevin Walker continued: "Like Mr. Yamamoto, I would like to book 40% of them, but I can increase the deposit to 20%, hehe! After finishing speaking, he proudly crossed Erlang's legs and smiled leisurely.
"Two, the two of you account for eighty percent, so what should we do?" The middle-aged man named Sean McLaren sneered: "Don't take all of us for fools, you are here to talk about business, and we are not here for tourism. ”
"That's right! Mr. McLaren is right! The other two jewelers nodded in agreement.
In the world, there are not many high-quality diamonds, especially the cut is still first-class "eight hearts and eight arrows" (a type of diamond cut), it is even rarer, this kind of diamond is scarce in the world, the price tends to rise higher, the profit is huge, and jewelers also like to buy such diamonds the most.
Because of this, the competition between the five people has become extremely fierce, and no one is willing to give up this excellent business opportunity in front of them easily.
Xie Wendong's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the five people, and he knew that now, he was no longer worried that his things would not sell, the question was who to choose them for.
He smiled and said, "Don't fight anymore." The visitor is a guest, and I won't let everyone run for nothing. Since the five of you are interested in my diamond, then, it is up to the five of you to divide it equally, as for the deposit, it is set at 30%, presumably this request is not too much, I have a foundation in China and Angola, you don't have to worry that I will run away with the money, what do you think? ”
When Xie Wendong said this, everyone looked at each other and stopped talking, although they were not satisfied with this result, but they had their own plans in their hearts.
After the meeting, several of the giants of the jewelry industry left one after another.
After they left, Tony frowned and said, "Mr. Xie, I think we should pick two or three of them to cooperate, so that the relationship between the two sides will be more stable." ”
"But it's just as easy to be controlled." Xie Wendong said: "There are also advantages to doing it in a decentralized way, and it is not necessarily unreliable in this way, I bet they will come to me alone for a private talk." ”
"Oh?" Tony was stunned: "Why did Mr. Xie say that?" ”
Xie Wendong smiled confidently: "I feel this way. ”
Xie Wendong's feeling was very accurate, and in the evening of the same day, Yamamoto Gangzi came to the door and asked Xie Wendong to sell him the extra diamonds produced every year.
