Chapter 124: Simple and Crude
"Diamonds are arguably the biggest lie in the world, even if you don't count the mega-mine that the Lucians just revealed, the diamond mines in De Beers' hands alone can be described as massive, their prices are purely artificially limited in production so they are pushed up, and if we push this thing out in large quantities, the result is only a price crash."
Lin Tong said, His Excellency the Divine Beast in Haizhou has long claimed that diamonds are not valuable to the Atlanteans, since this is the case, it is completely normal for Wang Yue to sell this thing to the outside world, but this thing is really not suitable for mass sales, the value of diamonds is purely artificially created by guò marketing methods, it is a meaningless inflated, once a large number of diamonds pour into the market to break the current situation, the result can only plummet.
Wang Yue stood up with a smile, and under her puzzled gaze, she walked to the fish tank that decorated the living room and reached out with her hand, and took out a large oval object of cantaloupe covered with green algae from it, and then slammed it onto the mahogany coffee table in front of her.
"What if we sold all the diamonds that were that big?"
In Lin Tong's stunned gaze, Boss Wang said happily.
Lin Tong was dumbfounded, took a tissue and wiped the thick algae on it, and the transparent crystals inside were immediately revealed, revealing a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight outside the window.
"Is this a diamond?" She said in a trembling voice.
"It's like a fake!" Wang Yue said that his giant diamond of tens of thousands of carats has been smashed in his hand for a long time, and today he finally found a chance to get rid of it.
"But what's the use of a diamond that's so big? It is easy to break the neck when it is set in the crown, and it has to be carried on the scepter. Unless it is smashed for another processing, no one can be willing to smash such a huge already cut diamond. Big and useless. Lin Tong then woke up from the shock and said with a wry smile.
"So big?" Wang Yue picked up the one he had just thrown to her and said.
"This one is fine, it's better to be smaller, and it's even better if it's a rare fancy color diamond." Lin Tong said with a smile.
"Well, you're in charge of gathering information, according to De Beers' standards, kind, size. Cut and so on all according to De Beers' highest grade, I provide diamonds according to the information, as for the money earned. We're split it in half, and our goal is simple, specifically targeting De Beers, and disrupting the entire market order. Boss Wang said viciously.
If he used to sell diamonds, he had concerns. Then now there are no worries at all. Of course, this thing still can't be measured, and they will stare at De Beers in the future, don't they always like to say that other people's diamonds are not diamonds, and what they say is nothing? Then follow De Beers, who says it's best to make whatever kind of diamond.
As for Emperor Pu, with the current relationship between the two sides, it is not enough to turn his face on this matter, and Alrosa's annual diamond business is still a grade lower than the crude oil business of the two countries. What's more, Wang Yue's main goal is to squeeze into this market, not to destroy it.
At present, the world's diamonds are almost completely controlled at De Beers. Alrosa, in the hands of the alliance of the three Rio Tinto, and the main pricing power is still in De Beers' hands, they will not welcome Wang Yue into this market, and what Wang Yue needs to do is force them to agree.
Carrying a big diamond to smash hard, smashing them to succumb, the method is very simple, they say that the diamond is the best, then well, Boss Wang will launch a large number of this diamond to the market, transparency, color, cut are all in line with De Beers' standards, they will say another good, then the same will launch this one, in short, De Beers said good, there will be a large number of people in the market to lower the price into a big road goods, in this way step by step to destroy their reputation established by more than a century of marketing.
Then let the diamond market return to a state of disorderly chaos, and finally force them to sit down, negotiate to get a seat for themselves, if they don't agree, then keep smashing, anyway, his diamond has almost no cost, even if the price is pulled to the current one-tenth of the current level, in short, the diamond alliance does not agree to him to join the market, then he will completely destroy the market, see who can survive.
If he played like this before, it would be tantamount to suicide, whether it was De Beers or Erosa or Rio Tinto, his hands were all stained with blood, and Boss Wang was waiting for wave after wave of killers, but now even the US Emperor has nothing to do with him, let alone the Diamond Alliance, the Emperor Pu and he are wolves, and will not allow Alrosa to move him, Rio Tinto and De Beers want to move him, then you have to consider the consequences of the Atlanteans attacking London and Sydney.
"Uh, didn't you say it's too big to sell? Why are you still hugging like your daughter? Wang Yue looked at Lin Tong in amazement, who was struggling to pick up his diamond the size of a cantaloupe, with a posture that he was about to go out.
"I just said it was too big, when did I say it wasn't going to sell well?" Lin Tong looked back coquettishly and said with a smile.
Indeed, this huge diamond is only too much of an impactful use, but it can be collected as a rare treasure, and the whole world was stunned when Lin Tong entrusted the diamond, which she named Longyan, to an auction house in Hong Kong in the name of her ancestors. Even the rough stone of the Star of Africa set on the scepter of the British royal family is only three kilograms, and this one is almost ten times as much, not to mention that it is a cut piece, such a treasure can no longer be measured by value, this is a truly priceless treasure.
As for how Lin Tong's ancestor from the small grocery store got this diamond, there is no need to care about this, everyone knows that people like him have many opportunities to get this thing in the rich course of life.
Of course, how to hype and maximize its value, there is no need for Wang Yue to care, Lin Tong specially set up a marketing team for this diamond, give full play to her connections, and is constantly bombarding the media around the world, major TV stations, newspapers, magazines, and websites around the world are all over the world.
Even some movie stars at home and abroad, music divas and the like are desperately going to Hong Kong to fight for a kiss Fangze, one by one dressed up in gorgeous clothes and leaving precious photos with this half-bag of coal turned into stones, and even several female stars also took photos with it, a certain diva star sat cross-legged, covered the top two points with his hands, and used it to cover the photo of the bush below and was also used as the cover of the playboy.
"Alas, this is the stone of madness, why do people like to chase after these hungry and cold things? I found that the history of the evolution of human civilization is a history of turning simple into complicated, and everyone is eating barbecue around the fire, who would treat this thing as a treasure! Boss Wang held the playboy and looked at the bright smile of the cover girl, and the bright diamond between her legs couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Wang's words are very philosophical and thought-provoking." He said with a smile from a stick official from the Ministry of Culture.
"Philosophy, that thing is the most boring, and it has no other use than to make grass grow in people's hearts." Wang Yue waved his hand and said.
"Well, indeed, philosophers are very demagogues." The stick official had no choice but to change his tune again.
Now they really can't straighten up in front of Wang Yue, looking at the humiliation of the diaper brother who knelt in the Jinling Datu Killing Memorial Hall, they know how terrible the consequences of offending Wang Yue are, although the stick and Hua Guo are not entangled in this regard, but it is also terrible if he suddenly remembers the old account that his grandfather was injured on the battlefield back then.
"Mr. Wang, this is a list of alternative actors, you can see which one is more suitable, especially several actresses, if you have time, don't let them come here and you can audition in person." Another stick next to him hurriedly said, and at the same time handed a stack of photos to Wang Yue with both hands.
Of course, most of them are female stars, and I probably know that Boss Wang is not interested in male actor auditions.
Now the film concept of the cooperation between the two sides has been determined, the entire Wanli War of Aid to Korea is divided into three parts, the first battle of Pyongyang includes the later Biho Pavilion, the second part starts from the Battle of Seoul to the Battle of Jisan, as for the battle of Ulsan in the future, it will be brushed aside, and then the third part of the Battle of Luliang will not use a few actresses, and the pile arranged is purely to meet the needs of Boss Wang.
"Audition, yes, it has to be auditioned." Wang Yue looked at the photo in his hand and said with a smile, and Tian Zihan next to him looked at him with disdainful eyes.
After sending the sticks away, Wang Yue immediately got a piece of good news that he had been waiting for.
"You're saying I can make cells now?" He said to the red queen in surprise.
"Yes."
"So I can just make creatures without having to catch fish everywhere?"
"Nope."
"Uh, then why not, do you know that as a golden thigh, you always can't do it, and that's not okay, I'm very sorry for your identity, for example, the problem of creation, now human technology can make a cell to create a big living person, but you can't do it, you are an alien black technology, you should be omnipotent, not even a modern human second-rate scientist." Wang Yue said very dissatisfied.
"Cloning is not manufacturing, there is an essential difference between the two." Red replied.
"Okay, so what can I make now?"
"Lower life forms."
"Bacteria, fungi, seaweed?"
"Yes."
"But it's useless."
Boss Wang broke a mushroom from the cold storage in the cargo hold, returned to his study and looked at it for a while, and then his right eye flashed with golden light, and an identical mushroom instantly appeared out of thin air.
The main elements of cells are nothing more than carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, etc., and now there are probably all elements in the atmosphere, and unless they are manufactured in large quantities, there is no need for additional raw materials.
But looking at the mushrooms he made, Boss Wang really couldn't think of any benefits this ability could bring to him. (To be continued......)
