Chapter 235: A Pot of Boiling Water! (Fourth Update!) )
At this time, Su Tianran's mobile phone vibrate, and when he looked at the number, his face suddenly became solemn.
However, because a family meeting was being held at this time, the old man hated others answering his mobile phone when he was in a meeting, and Su Tianran had no choice but to hang up the phone.
However, what he didn't expect was that after hanging up three times in a row, the phone still vibrated stubbornly and buzzed, and it seemed that the other party was really in a hurry.
"Let's take it." Old Man Su nodded.
Su Tianran heard this and pressed the answer button.
"Oh no, there was a big explosion in the diamond mine, all the tunnels collapsed, and all of them were landfilled!"
When Su Tianran heard this, he hung up the phone directly, and the hand holding the mobile phone slowly slid down his cheek, and he couldn't see his expression.
At this time, the hall was quiet, and all the people of the Su family did not make a sound, because they all felt a hint of a different taste from Su Tianran's expression, as if something big was going to happen.
However, Su Qingli, Su Tianya and the others showed a look of schadenfreude, they knew that the more unfavorable the news for Su Tianran, the more beneficial it would be for them. If Su Tianran will step down because of this, then Su Tianya may become the biggest vested interest.
"What's going on?" Old Man Su asked.
"Nothing." Su Tianran was silent for a while, feeling that saying such news at this time would cause panic, but he still didn't tell the truth.
"Hey, Brother Tianran, there's nothing bad to say, we're all our own people." Su Tianya then said.
"That's it, Tianran, let's tell everyone if there is news, even if it's bad news, we can help each other in the same boat, right?" Su Qingli also said with the emotion of watching the joke.
Su Tianran was still silent.
"Tianran, brothers and sisters are right, if there is anything you might as well say it, let's all help you find a way." Su Tianran's second grandfather, Su Fudan, said.
Su Tianran raised his face, there was a touch of indescribable emotion in his eyes, he let out a long sigh, and said, "The South African diamond mine was blown up, and the cause of the explosion is unknown at present. ”
Rumble!
Su Tianran's words fell on everyone's ears, undoubtedly like a bombshell smashed into the calm sea, stirring up thousands of waves!
Although the loss of Zhongding Gas had hurt the bones of the Su family before, due to the confidentiality of the news, most of them could only rely on speculation, and they were not sure that Zhongding had changed hands overnight. However, the news of the bombing of the diamond mine this time really came out of Su Tianran's mouth, and there must be no falsehood.
Everyone was silent, still chewing and digesting the shock of the news.
The reason why the three major diamond brands under the Su family have been able to stand in China for so many years is because of political factors, and one of the most important reasons is because they own a diamond mine in South Africa.
Unlike other brands, Sujia can achieve one-stop mining, processing and sales in South Africa, which naturally reduces a lot of unnecessary costs in the supply chain, so that the overall cost of the three major brands is more than half lower than that of other brands! In the past, their prices would always be a little lower than the rest of the brands, and it was just this little bit that became the cornerstone of the best-selling of the three major brands.
However, a phantom crystal has recently appeared, and within a few months of its appearance, it has used overwhelming advertising and ultra-low prices to quickly seize the Chinese luxury market, and beat the traditional three major brands to the ground.
The reason why Phantom Diamond has such capital and confidence to dare to fight a price war with the Su family is the same, because they also have diamond mines in South Africa!
Moreover, in the face of the situation that the Phantom Crystal Diamond has to fight to the death at any cost, the three major brands have collectively shrunk their defense lines and surrendered their positions to others in order to avoid greater losses.
"Just kidding, the diamond mines in South Africa have been mined for so many years and have never had an accident, how can they be bombed today?" Su Tianqi was finally excited to find that because of this shocking news, everyone shifted their attention from their own body to Su Tianran's body! Maybe because of the destruction of the diamond mines in South Africa, he can escape the catastrophe!
"Bastard, it's not your turn to speak here!" Su Nanguo was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere, and kicked out again, kicking his youngest son to the ground.
The hall of Lixin Manor was very quiet, and everyone didn't dare to come out, so quiet that they could hear even a needle falling on the ground, as if waiting for the storm to come.
"The diamond mine was bombed...... Old man Su Fuhua was surprisingly not angry, but was silent for a long time by this shocking news, and then said in a low voice: "The guard is so tight, it can still be bombed, it looks like the other party is very professional." ”
Su Tianran also nodded: "It should be a mercenary or a retired special soldier." ”
"Retired special forces?" As soon as Su Fuhua raised his head, a spiritual light crossed his mind: "Could it be ......?"
Su Fuhua didn't say the remaining two words, but Su Fudan and Su Fulian both nodded silently.
The three old men all knew what happened back then, and they all understood what those two words meant.
Could it be that in addition to Wang Zheng, there were still people among the first generation of dragon scales who successfully broke through in that siege? Otherwise, how could the diamond mine have been blown up so bizarrely?
The heroic division was defeated by the dragon scale team with one million, this is the common view of Su Fuhua and several people. They had all seen with their own eyes how powerful the most mysterious army in the history of the Chinese Republic was, and they were all participants in that force from its inception to its final destruction.
Dragon scales are the strongest combat power of the Republic, which is the dream of a generation of Chinese soldiers. However, when Su Fuhua changed from a soldier to a politician, he had forgotten the original mission of the establishment of Dragon Scale, and only wanted to take this national combat force into his own hands.
Su Fudan's voice was also low: "If it is really a remnant of dragon scales, then we must get rid of it quickly, otherwise, the wildfire will not be exhausted, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate." ”
At this time, Su Qingli's voice rang out: "Tianran, why have you been defeated again and again?" Zhongding is defeated in your hands, and the three major diamond brands are also in danger, and there is no source of raw materials for diamond mines, and they may go bankrupt at any time. At the end of the year, the dividends have been reduced by 80%, so it seems that if our industry continues to be in your hands, will it face losses next year? ”
At this time, Su Qingli stood up and was the first to accuse Su Tianran, and also aimed the whole incident at the future heir of the Su family.
In fact, what Su Qingli said at this time was also the heart of many children of the Su family. Among them, no one is jealous of Su Tianran's position as the heir, everyone wants to replace him, but they have never had a chance, Old Man Su has always trusted Su Tianran, and no one dares to put forward such a similar idea in front of him.
However, when Su Tianran announced that each person would cut their dividends by 80%, these people who had been waiting for a long time knew that the opportunity had come.
Hearing Su Qingli's words, Su Tianran just snorted coldly and didn't even look at her.
If it was in the past, Su Fuhua would definitely be furious if he heard such words, but at this time, he squinted his eyes and raised his head, looking at Su Qingli, with a trace of essence in his two not cloudy eyes, as if he wanted to examine Su Qingli's inner thoughts clearly.
Being looked at like this by Old Man Su, Su Qingli also felt a little nervous, but since she stood up at this time, she couldn't retreat in the slightest, the opportunity was fleeting, and it would only be left to those who were prepared and courageous.
Therefore, Su Qingli stood very straight, his eyes were very calm, and the nervous emotion in his heart was well concealed.
Seeing that Su Fuhua did not speak, Su Tianran's heart began to sink little by little.
"I think Sister Qingli is right." At this time, Su Tianya also took a step forward and stood by Su Qingli's side: "If we really lose Zhongding, lose the diamond mines in South Africa, and the main economic lifeline is cut off, then the Su family has undoubtedly reached a precarious critical juncture, even if it is life and death." The Su family has fallen to this point in just half a year, and I think that someone needs to stand up and take responsibility for this matter. ”
Su Tianya looked at Su Tianran as he spoke, and the meaning of his words was obvious: "The responsibility should be borne by you." ”
Su Tianran didn't have any rebuttal, and said coldly: "I am willing to take all the responsibility." ”
In fact, before Su Tianran, it had always been the old man Su and his two sons who were in charge of all the work of the family, and the Su family's industry was too concentrated, and every year just by relying on one Zhongding gas, they were able to obtain a staggering astronomical amount. Coupled with the huge profits of the three major diamond brands, the Su family is not worried that they will have no money to spend, they have never thought about what they will do if one day these two major industries are all destroyed. Of course, they don't need to think about these useless things, natural gas is the lifeblood of the country, and with the influence of Old Man Su, no one has the courage to snatch it.
However, the most unsatisfactory thing happened to them, Zhongding's equity agreement was stolen, and 90% of the equity was transferred.
The year-end dividend plummeted by 80%, which made many people in the Su family unacceptable, and they found one day that someone really dared to knock themselves out of the dust, such a psychological gap was enough to defeat most of the people present at this time.
