Chapter 365: A New Plan (Part II)
Five hours later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the sun goes down, a Sven-looking clerk enters the conference room and reminds Kate and Smith that the company is off work and that the two guests can leave if nothing else.
"Where's your boss?" Kate wrinkled her face, like a volcano about to explode.
"Mr. Xiao? He left at noon. The female clerk Ying Ying said with a smile.
"Doesn't he know we're still waiting for him here?" Kate finally couldn't help it, and her voice seemed a little rude.
"The secretary had already reminded him when he left." The female clerk showed a trace of displeasure on her face, and said, "Mr. Xiao said, if you are willing to wait, just continue to wait." ”
Kate's eyes widened with anger.
She is the representative of Tuoli!
This Chinese treated her like this, and really didn't take their Tuoli company seriously!
"Thank you for this charming young lady, we will come back tomorrow." Smith said with a decent smile on his face.
"You're welcome." In the face of the smiling man, the female clerk couldn't start a temper.
"We'll be back tomorrow." Smith laughed.
Outside of Lorraine Pharmaceuticals.
Kate only felt as if her body was exploding, and said, "Mr. Smith, are we coming back tomorrow?" ”
"Of course you have to come here." Smith's face was calm, and he said, "For the benefit of the company, of course we have to come over." ”
In the global diamond supply market, Xiao already has the same voice as their parent company.
"But he doesn't want to see us at all." Kate Road.
"He met, and for the sake of public profit, he met with us." Smith is definitely authentic.
At present, 90% of the world's diamonds are monopolized by a few giants, including Tuoli.
Joining this giant system and monopolizing the profits of this industry is actually the best choice for Xiao.
"He didn't see us today just because we had some unpleasantness before." Smith is definitely authentic.
This Xiao treated them so coldly, it was just a small "revenge" for them.
When Kate heard this, she shut up.
The next day.
Smith and Kate, like yesterday, arrived early in the reception room of Lorraine Pharmaceutical.
Time passed slowly, and Kate still looked very impatient. Even Smith slowly showed a hint of impatience on his face.
Eleven o'clock.
Suddenly, Smith's hand rang.
Picking up the phone with his fingers and listening to the information reported on the phone, Smith's green eyes became cold, showing a hint of anger.
"Mr. Smith." Kate looked at Smith's face carefully and asked, "What happened?" ”
"We'll go find Xiao now!" Smith pushed open the door of the conference room with some gaffes and rudeness, and walked towards the office area.
Outside Xiao Jiu's office.
"Mr. Smith, you haven't made an appointment with our boss, please don't disturb his work." A secretary who was still trying to stop Smith.
"Go and report to Xiao, I'm going to see him now." Smith was like a red-eyed rooster, growling at the secretary.
"Sorry, you can't go in." In the face of the angry Smith, the secretary still did not back down.
"Let him in." In the room, a flat voice rang out.
The office door was rudely pushed open, and Smith rushed in like an angry bull, his face turned grim when he faced Xiao Jiu.
Indoors, Xiao Jiu still sat quietly.
In the live broadcast room, some fans who watched Xiao Jiu's office and were so bored that they almost yawned suddenly came to their senses-
"There is a situation!"
"Ninth Master, someone has invaded your territory!"
"Who is so rude!?"
Inside, Smith's neck almost turned red, without a hint of grace like a rude Australian miner.
"Xiao, I need an explanation. Why do you supply pink diamonds to diamond ring manufacturers at 40% of the spot price? ”
The headquarters just informed him that the agency set up by Xiao in Xiangjiang had just reached a supply agreement with a world-renowned golf dealer with an amount of nearly 100 million yuan. In this agreement, Xiao significantly reduced the price of pink diamonds.
Xiao Jiu looked at each other as if he was looking at an idiot: "Mr. Smith, who are you?" Why should I explain it to you? ”
Smith was instantly dumbfounded, and his originally angry mood was also slightly calm, and he said, "Xiao, it's not right for you to do this!" Supplying to the manufacturer at such a low price doesn't do you any good! We can give you some market share and keep the current diamond market unchanged! ”
Some time ago, Xiao Jiu sold a hundred treasures in the high-end market, although it caused several giants to suffer a lot of losses. But only a tiny fraction of their mineral deposits are rare treasures that can be fetched for more than a million dollars. The bulk of their profit is still a low-end variety like one or two carats!
"Sorry, I'm not looking for a partial market share, but more than half of the market share of all diamond types, and all of the pink diamond types." Xiao Jiu smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth and said.
Facing Xiao Jiu's gaze, Smith, who was furious, became more and more calm.
Did this Xiao do this on purpose?
“why!?” Smith couldn't help but ask.
"Among the major varieties of colored diamonds, pink diamonds are unique to the Ague region of Australia, right?" Xiao Jiu said with a smile: "A few years ago, in order to mine this variety, your company also spent 1.8 billion US dollars to build a thirty-kilometer-long mine road to connect mines including Brunte. Last year, the profit margin of your company's mines in the Agai area was around 55%, right? ”
Smith froze for a moment.
Everything this Xiao did turned out to be revenge for their company!
Every year, the head office can obtain more than 300 million US dollars in profits from the Argai region. But now, the head office not only cannot make a profit from the Agai mine, but even generates a lot of losses!
"If you continue to mine those pink diamond mines, you will definitely lose money, Mr. Smith, I wonder if you will continue to mine those mines, or if you will fire all the mine workers."
This is revenge! He's taking revenge on the miners in the Agai region!
If the mine loses money for a long time, the company can only close the mine.
The diamond mines in the Agai area are not as profitable as ordinary people think. In fact, Rio Tinto spends an average of more than $120,000 per worker. In order to save this part of the expenses, the company will definitely carry out large-scale layoffs in the Agai area.
"You did this because they had a strike movement?" Smith Road.
Faintly, he could already imagine the tragic situation of hundreds of miners in the Agai area who lost their jobs!
