Chapter 236: Revenge Begins
Since the 911 attacks, the U.S. economy has been declining for several years in a row, and it continues to affect the world.
In this global economic downturn, it is natural for people to start reducing investment and start to focus on 'hard currency' with the potential to preserve value.
Diamonds, the most attractive thing on the entire planet, are also the most valuable possession that the Creator has given to His people.
And this most precious possession, God gave it to the most mixed and impoverished place in the world, Africa.
It can be seen that God is always fair, and he will not treat the people of any land lightly.
North Africa and South Africa are the two places with the highest concentration of diamonds in Africa, but South Africa has a strong political power, and it is even more difficult to have a diamond pit in this land.
But North Africa is different, and the perennial war has made this land constantly in turmoil.
And this kind of 'turmoil' is by no means that the people in this land do not love peace, on the contrary, there are actually people who do not want it to be peaceful, because it will cause them a lot of resistance.
Traditionally, African diamonds are synonymous with luxury, as there are few places where there are so many coveted diamonds hidden beneath the land.
And digging and keeping diamonds is a matter of spending a lot of money.
If it were usual, I don't think anyone would keep it on a large scale, but now it's different, the global market is down, and those rich people definitely have the ability and willingness to buy some diamonds to keep their wealth from shrinking.
It is under the influence of this environment that the Luxor family of France, which occupies most of the diamond pits in North Africa, and the Dio family of the United States, have coincidentally begun to hoard a large number of excavated diamonds, which will be a huge fortune.
It's just that when some people began to find out that some people on the Internet began to shout that the international diamond market is about to be saturated, it made some people hesitate.
However, most people obviously don't believe this kind of 'nonsense'. Diamonds are not paper money, and you can print as much as you want without fear of inflation.
Therefore, there are still a large number of wealthy people who are keen to buy this shiny little stone.
When the employees of CAA Media Group found that they had stayed up late and sent so many meager hairies, they failed to attract too many people's attention, which couldn't help but make many people start to doubt the methods of the small boss.
"Could it be that the tried-and-true Internet bombardment of the small boss has completely failed?"
While many people began to think about it, Link was still unhurried with the company's affairs.
It's just that Link filled in a few words in the list: "Raise the price of international diamonds." ”
When this task was assigned to Lu Si, who was in charge of the regular operation of the entire CAA media group, the other party ran over in a sweat.
"Little boss, what the hell do you mean?" Rust pointed to the task assigned by Link, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you say that the international diamond market will plummet, why are you going to raise the price of international diamonds now?" ”
Link raised his head from the mountain of papers, gently rubbed his slightly swollen eyes, and said nonchalantly: "If you want others to send us money willingly, you have to pay first, otherwise why should others take the bait?" ”
"This ......" Rust still hesitated: "If our money is used to bully the international diamond market, what about the live bidding of the Grammys?" Won't I fight for it? ”
"Without the Grammys, we could do it the year after. However, if I don't get revenge right away, I won't be willing to do it for the rest of my life. ”
Link furrowed his brows and said in an indisobedient tone: "Just do what I say, even if I lose some money, I'm going to let those. The Son regrets coming into this world. Besides, we won't necessarily lose money, and we might even make a fortune. ”
Seeing that the little boss still shouldn't have spoken, Rust had no choice but to do what he said.
Over the next few days, a lot of people discovered a big joke.
A few days ago, the remarks on the Internet about 'sitting long' on the international diamond market seemed to be still echoing in front of me, but since this morning, some people have begun to coax the international diamond market, which makes many people can't help laughing.
Some people in the industry are already saying: "Look, these fools are estimated to start selling diamonds in a few days to suppress the market price of diamonds." ”
Sure enough, a few days later, a certain market maker, who had bought a large number of diamonds, actually began to sell a large number of diamonds in his hands, as if he wanted to use this method to suppress the international diamond market price.
However, many investors are silently inhaling those sold diamonds over and over again, while still snickering.
"I don't know which idiot came up with this method. In my opinion, they have to lose at least tens of millions. ”
When a large number of sold diamonds were eaten by many investors, the international diamond price still failed to decline in the slightest, but continued to rise.
If someone wants to 'sit long' on the international diamond market, it proves that diamonds are profitable, even though the methods of those guys are ridiculously stupid.
When these were laughing, Link, who had lost tens of millions, was also laughing.
At this time, he was in the intensive care unit, chatting with Fat Jack.
"Fatty, you have to get better quickly, I've lost tens of millions for you."
Although Fat Jack has passed the dangerous period, he is still very weak. A gunshot wound in the chest, which takes a long time to recover.
"Tens of millions?" Fat Jack was taken aback by Link's words: "Little boss, my status of fat is calculated to be sold at a sky-high price, and it is not worth tens of millions." ”
Link shook his head with a smile and held his palm tightly: "Who said it wasn't worth it?" Your fat body is simply too valuable, tens of millions are not enough. ”
Link laughed and joked with him as he said, "Don't worry, the two bullets on your body will be exchanged for the demise of the two families." ”
Speaking of this, Link's eyes had gradually turned cold, as if he could see that everyone in a certain family had become poor.
Fat Jack and his excited face full of tears, although he blocked the gun for the little boss at that time, they were all subconscious reactions. But now, he suddenly found that the two shots he got were really worth it, because the little boss would help him double his revenge.
When December came, news had already come from Africa that the construction of the branch was going very well, and that Julianne had a lot of news. With the cooperation of Assange's team members and the help of Link's cheap nephew, everything is going in the direction of expectations.
Now that we are in December, Christmas is just around the corner.
Every year, Christmas is a carnival of shopping, and it is also the peak season for the sale of luxury goods.
Diamonds are no exception!
As the world's largest diamond market, the United States, diamond sales will also peak every time a major festival comes, especially the most important festival of the year, Christmas.
The Luxor family in France and the Dio family in the United States are also eyeing this time.
Since the beginning of the year, the two families that control the vast majority of diamond mines in North Africa have stockpiled large quantities of loose diamonds to make a fortune over the Christmas period.
And with Christmas just around the corner, the two families are finally ready to start selling their diamonds.
When Hydray. Dior was also very satisfied when he saw the data on the number of family diamonds that had just been counted.
"Although our diamond holdings are far from comparable to those of the Luxor family in France, it will also be a large amount of unpredictable wealth, enough for the entire Dio family to buy more diamond mines."
When I think of this, Hydray. Dio's face gradually became a little darker: "If it weren't for those warlords who were too difficult to raise, maybe we would have made more money." ”
Although there are small complaints in my heart, but Hydray. Dio also knows that the warlord who spends countless dollars every year to get through relations is the umbrella of the Dio family in North Africa. Without them, the Dio family would not be able to move an inch.
"It's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Those warlords and the people who have become in the same boat as the Dio family are both prosperous and losing! No one else can get in at all. ”
Hairy. Dio smiled proudly again, because the biggest opponent of the Dio family in North Africa was only the Luxor family in France. No matter how large other forces are in other places, they simply cannot interfere in the diamond business in North Africa, which is also the biggest gain of the Dio family in North Africa for more than 20 years.
At the same time, the Luxor family in Paris, France, has also completed the inventory of this year's diamond production and is preparing to make a big deal in the American market.
And this kind of thing doesn't need to be inquired about at all, because that's the market practice. Therefore, Link, almost without any preparation, began all his plans.
In early December, with more than half a month to go before Christmas, many families in the United States have already begun to prepare large purchases for the upcoming festival.
Just today, a small newspaper called "Thinking Daily" suddenly published a report: "Mysterious website decrypts the world's biggest lie!" Africa is not the largest source of diamonds, but somewhere else! ”
Although the circulation of the newspaper is very low, the low is only about one million copies. But this kind of third-rate tabloid, which is a man in the hall of elegance, suddenly broke this kind of super news.
However, many wealthy people do not believe such rumors at all.
"Maybe it's going to be a guy who is going to suppress the international diamond market, but they're actually looking for a third-rate tabloid? Is it the same stupid guy from last time? He's making a comeback again? I really don't know how much that guy will lose. ”
Obviously, those who can afford diamonds, completely ignore such reports. People who can't afford diamonds, on the other hand, are more keen to discuss such reports.
