Chapter 217: Danger lurks
Liu Lang got the news from the finance that the Prodigal Son Group had invested 300 million yuan in this public relations action.
Thankfully, it was all worth it, and after the two retailers had taken 98% of the day's turnover every day for a week, retailers across the country said they could now sign supply agreements.
For a time, Langhua precious metals signed an order of nearly 40 billion yuan.
The total value has exceeded 50 billion, and these transactions will be completed within a week.
At the same time, those channel dealers who had privately traded with Yang Datong also sold the diamonds in their hands, they originally bought them from Liu Lang at a 5% discount, and if they didn't sell at this time, they would all be smashed in their hands.
Liu Lang also got the news from Yang Datong, saying that these channel providers couldn't hold it back and sold them all.
"Are you sure the message is reliable?" Liu Lang asked.
Yang Datong nodded and said: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, my source is absolutely reliable, I am a friend for many years, in his words, when he received this batch of goods, he wanted to sell it to the outside world, so as to make an early retirement, but he didn't expect to be restrained by the top." β
"This one, if I'm not mistaken, it's the Ye family, right?" Liu Lang asked with a smile.
There is no doubt that only the Ye family and the China Overseas Jade Association have the ability to stop these distributors from selling to the outside world, and once they sell diamonds at a cheap price, it will cause market volatility.
In fact, this kind of behavior is not difficult to understand, if the Ye family has enough funds in their hands to swallow all these diamonds, they will be able to stabilize the market, but they will only need to digest it for a few more years, but at least they will not let the price of diamonds be cut in half.
However, the Ye family seems to be too confident in their liquidity, which is no longer a transaction of tens of billions, but a level of hundreds of billions.
On the other hand, they don't control all the retailers in the country.
Who hasn't done business in the past few years, and which of these retailers is a simple character? Will he be willing to be the Ye family's dog? Who doesn't want to earn money just standing.
Of course, their refusal to yield to the Ye family does not mean that they are not afraid of the Ye family.
The previous wait-and-see attitude proved that they were still in awe of the Ye family, but Liu Lang took the lead in breaking this deadlock and let them see that even if they stood on the opposite side of the Ye family's interests, they could still stand and earn money.
With the tens of billions of half-price diamonds flowing into the market, almost all retailers are standing on a united front, whether it is the Ye family or local associations, they can no longer pose any substantial threat to them.
It is impossible for the municipal government to meddle in this kind of thing, and diamonds are not regulated metals.
For a time, the prodigal group and all the retailers who signed contracts with them won a great victory in this war without gunpowder.
After more than 90% of the country's retailers announced price cuts, Liu Lang received a call from Bai Qishan.
"Do you know how much investment Ye withdrew?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Bai Qishan's roar came.
Liu Lang smiled helplessly: "You should know better than me, whether Ye has the sincerity to invest here, are you sure that he is here to invest, not to threaten you with investment?" β
This is true, and Bai Qishan knows better than anyone what Ye's attitude is.
But in an instant, Ye withdrew tens of billions of investments, which was a huge loss, although these investments were not implemented.
"Then I don't care, you have to fill these gaps in the Ye family for me, otherwise, don't think about it in the future, you kid will get half a benefit from me."
"Eh, you have to be careful when you speak." Liu Lang hurriedly reminded: "The identity of the two of us, you said that I got benefits from you, this is not appropriate, right?" I didn't bribe you, don't cheat me. β
"Heh, you kid understands what I mean." Bai Qishan snorted coldly,
Hearing this, Liu Lang couldn't help laughing again.
"Okay, good old leader, you have the final say, the Ye family's planned investment in Zhonghai, no matter how much money, will all be made up by the Prodigal Son Group, there is no problem now, right?"
As soon as this trump card was thrown out, Bai Qishan instantly stopped moving.
"No problem, you kid has to count when he speaks."
After speaking, Bai Qishan hung up the phone.
"Look, I'll just say that this old guy is more anxious than anyone else."
Liu Lang also put down the phone, and Suna pushed a cup of coffee in front of him,
"Then you should also take a break, those retailers' affairs are not your responsibility, and there are so many colleagues in the departments below who are working overtime, you should also take a good rest."
Liu Lang lay on the office chair and closed his eyes.
"Rest? Inexistent. He continued: "At least it will take a while, otherwise these retailers will make a mess sooner or later, they are too scattered, too mixed, just formed an alliance, all kinds of resources and information can not be shared, it is a plate of scattered sand, a blow will be broken." β
Liu Lang said and began to press his temples heavily with his hand, during this time he didn't even have time to go back to the villa, so naturally he couldn't use reclaimed water to take a bath to restore his energy, basically stayed in the company, and he had very little time to rest in a day, relying on his own recovery ability.
Just when he felt a headache, a pair of delicate hands replaced his big hands, and gently pressed the acupuncture points in his brain for him.
"But you are the boss, there are still many things waiting for you to decide in the group, the waves are blooming this month's financial report is good, we have won 90% of the domestic market, and our own new products are also waiting for you to finalize."
Suna said as she pressed Liu Lang's temples in a soft voice.
During this time, she learned to be a well-behaved and sensible woman by Liu Lang's side.
She will do what Liu Lang asks her to do, and the work she gives is always competent and excellent, which is enough.
Ever since Liu Lang solved her annoying parents, she understood that it was useless to cry and make trouble around Liu Lang.
In addition, when she saw Bai Lan getting off Liu Lang's car with a smile and a smile that day, she also understood that she alone could not keep such an excellent man.
Sadly, Su Na thinks so, Bai Lan also thinks so, and Liu Lang thinks the same way as them, but on the contrary, he feels that the price to pay for maintaining a relationship is too great, but fortunately, Bai Lan solved this problem for him.
When thinking about this, the strength in Suna's hand couldn't help but increase, and Liu Lang even screamed out comfortably, but in Suna's eyes, she hurt Liu Lang, and quickly withdrew her hand: "I...... I didn't mean to. β
"I didn't say you did it on purpose, what are you doing so carefully, it's heavier, I'm quite comfortable." Liu Lang reluctantly pressed it again.
However, after seeing Suna's preoccupied appearance, Liu Lang stopped what he was doing.
"Distracted?"
Suna had to nod.
"Leave the new product to Wu Youwei to be responsible, let him stipulate all the plans, let him open the meeting, and finally notify me of the formula,"
After explaining, Liu Lang looked at Suna again.
"You know about me and her, right?"
Let's talk about business first, and then talk about private matters, Liu Lang feels that Suna should be more acceptable in this way.
But even so, Suna was stunned for a moment.
She understood who the 'she' in Liu Lang's words was, and she saw Liu Lang and that 'her' going to work together every day, going out to work, or having meetings and negotiations together, and even heard them discuss what to eat and what movies to watch at night.
But if she talked about it in front of Liu Lang, she was not ready.
But Liu Lang had already asked, so she had no choice but to nod.
"I was going to tell you."
Liu Lang drank the previous cup of coffee, probably because he had changed the variety, and it was a little sour, but he still preferred the bitter one before.
After the central nervous system was ignited by caffeine, Liu Lang continued: "But that seems too deliberate, I don't want you to feel that way, so I think it may be better to push the boat with the water." β
"And when did you guys get together?" Suna asked with some curiosity.
"When I went to the Youngor Hotel for a cocktail party that day." Liu Lang told the truth: "A lot of things happened that night, and we almost didn't come back alive, so we ......"
Liu Lang didn't say anything more.
"I see." Suna was a little depressed, but her whole body was relaxed, even a little relieved, and she continued: "You have experienced life and death together, so you are destined for life, right?" β
"It's not a lifetime, but it does give a promise, and she acquiesces to your existence."
When he said the last sentence, Liu Lang looked at Suna, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Acquiescing to my presence?"
When Suna heard this, she was surprised and delighted, and at the same time felt sarcastic.
"And what am I? Tools? Or is it your plaything? β
Liu Lang shook his head and denied her words.
"No, it's neither, you're a person with an independent personality, and if you find it ironic, then what I can tell you is that she thinks the same as you do."
This sentence is actually quite cruel, Liu Lang can imagine what kind of mood he will feel if the girl he likes tells him this? .
But the truth is that he must carefully take care of the mood of these two women and try to find a balance to maintain.
Unexpectedly, this sentence didn't seem to cause any harm to Suna, and after she heard it, the broken thoughts in her mind exploded all at once.
"I... I see, you like sensible women, I'm going to be that sensible woman... Sensible ......"
At this time, Liu Lang found that there was a bit of confusion in Suna's eyes.
"It's not."
He grabbed Suna's hand at once.
"I also want you to sit in the positive little girl in the 4S shop, full of yearning for life, and continue to be naΓ―ve about this world."
Liu Lang's words made Suna a little stunned, she began to think that she had misunderstood Liu Lang's meaning, maybe Liu Lang didn't need a sensible toy, but wanted her to go back to the beginning.
Thinking of this, a touch of warm sun that melted in winter appeared on Suna's face, she looked at Liu Lang's eyes, and nodded stubbornly.
