"Wang Xiao, let's just hand over 5 billion to David Rockefeller?"

Coming out of the banquet hall, Shen Bingyu immediately asked nervously.

After all, it is 5 billion US dollars, although Shen Bingyu has calculated that the company's net profit this year is likely to directly exceed 40 billion US dollars, but even so, 5 billion US dollars is a huge amount for Zhengdao Technology.

"Hehe, Sister Bingyu, don't think that we paid $5 billion, we still have to see what $5 billion was exchanged for."

Wang Xiao said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "26% of the shares of Atieva Electric Vehicle Company, and a diamond mine of less than 1 square kilometer - 5 billion US dollars, we will not lose." ”

"I understand that the 26% stake in Atieva is understandable, and according to the materials provided by Rockefeller, even if it were bought at the usual price, these shares would cost nearly $1 billion, but ......"

Shen Bingyu knew that the so-called $5 billion was naturally the result of a premium, and the role played by Rockefeller in this incident was simply a broker between Zhengdao Technology and the US government, and their own profits would never be less.

"Sister Bingyu, do you think a diamond mine is not worth $4 billion at all?"

After getting into the car, Wang Xiao leaned his head on the pillow, closed his eyes and asked softly.

“…… Well, let's be honest, even De Beers, which now controls 40% of the world's diamond circulation, has a market value of only $10 billion, and that's because it owns South Africa and several diamond mines around the world, and we only rely on one diamond ......mine in the United States."

Shen Bingyu's words were not finished, but Wang Xiao understood what she meant.

Instead of explaining immediately, Wang Xiao chuckled and asked, "Sister Bingyu, do you like diamonds?" ”

"Huh?"

Shen Bingyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I naturally like it, which woman in the world doesn't like diamonds?" ”

"Do you know the true value of diamonds?"

Wang Xiao asked again.

"What is the true value of a diamond?"

Shen Bingyu shook his head.

"Diamond ...... At the end of the day, it's just a rock. ”

Wang Xiao said with a little admiration: "The price of diamonds is really hyped, in fact, it is completely the result of the manipulation behind De Beers. ”

"At that time, De Beers was just a South African diamond mine owner, but when they saw that the price of diamonds fluctuated because of the large amount of diamonds produced, they came up with an extremely bold idea - to manipulate the price of diamonds!"

"They then joined forces with several other diamond miners to form what is now De Beers, and together they controlled the world's diamond production."

"Whenever the price of diamonds fell, De Beers began to limit the amount of diamonds available in the market, and when the price of diamonds was too high, they controlled the increase in diamond production...... In this way, year after year, whether it is the economic crisis in the thirties of the last century, or several global economic fluctuations after that, the price of diamonds has been steadily rising. ”

"Of course, De Beers doesn't just control the production of diamonds, after all, sooner or later, the diamonds on the earth will be mined, and they have to give diamonds a universal value, so that diamonds are more than just big enough to be valuable...... As a result, they continued to promote the emotional value behind diamonds through the media and radio - love. ”

"Originally, diamonds were just a rare and beautiful stone on earth, and the reason why their prices were high was entirely because of their rarity, and had nothing to do with the current belief that diamonds represent love."

"Actually, as long as you think about it carefully, Sister Bingyu, don't you think it's strange?"

Wang Xiao asked with a smile: "Now, when people mention diamonds, the first thing they think of is that it represents love, but what about before?" Whether it's the Koh-i-Noor, which represents the power of the Queen of England, or the blue hope, which symbolizes doom...... Which of these famous diamonds represents love? ”

Shen Bingyu couldn't help but be stunned, indeed, she really hadn't thought about this problem, when girls think of diamonds, they immediately think of love, but, as Wang Xiao said, the so-called top ten diamonds in the world today, each of them does not represent love! Even if it's about love, it's not loyal love.

"Why is that?"

Shen Bingyu couldn't help asking.

"It's just propaganda!"

Wang Xiao sighed: "De Beers is indeed a great company, they have been promoting a rare stone into a love token given by God to the world through decades of uninterrupted publicity. ”

"This ...... Is it possible? ”

Shen Bingyu opened her beautiful eyes and asked in a lost voice.

Although more than ten months have passed, she still has lingering feelings about the public opinion frenzy that almost the whole world opposed to Daoist Technology at that time, so she knows how difficult it is to change people's traditional concepts.

"Of course you can, given you decades you can too."

Wang Xiao nodded without hesitation and said: "Since the beginning of the last century, De Beers has been committed to linking diamonds and love together. ”

"yes, I know."

Shen Bingyu nodded.

It is this advertising slogan that has spread all over the world that makes I wonder how many girls are eager to wear a diamond ring and walk in the auditorium with their beloved man when they get married.

"That's De Beers' most successful campaign."

"That's when people started to really associate diamonds with love," Wang said...... Of course, in order to expand this influence, De Beers artificially set various grades for diamonds, such as clarity, cut, clarity, etc., of course, the purpose is to increase the price of diamonds and deepen people's understanding of diamond preservation. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaocai shook his head and said with a smile: "After talking about it for a long time, what I mean is actually that the value of diamonds, in addition to its rarity, is the meaning of love it contains." ”

"However, it is also strange to say, when we think of love, we will think of red hearts, and it stands to reason that red diamonds can better represent the fierceness of love, but red diamonds in nature are rare...... Or should I say, almost nothing. ”

An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xiao's mouth: "Not now...... My geographer friend told me that somewhere in the United States, there might well be the largest colored diamond mine on the planet. ”

"Really?"

Shen Bingyu perked up: "You must know that the price of red diamonds has reached $1 million per carat, and there is still no market for it...... If that diamond mine really had red diamonds, we would have paid for it for only 4,000 carats, or 800 grams! ”

Looking at Shen Bingyu's happy appearance, Wang Xiao secretly shook his head, with the magic power he had just obtained, not to mention the red diamond, Wang Xiao could even make a rainbow diamond!

As long as there is a rainbow diamond, Wang Xiao believes that the $4 billion can be recovered. (To be continued.) )
