Fang Nan still finds it difficult for me to hand over Ni Duoduo to Luo Lie to take her back. Maybe it's her soft heart.
But then, early the next morning, Wu Gang's people escorted us back to Shanghai, and Fang Nan followed me all the way back. Afterwards, Yang Wei, who was waiting in Shanghai, gave me a look of embarrassment, because I left her and ran to Nanjing.
However, the meeting between Yang Wei and Fang Nan was rather dramatic. One is a strong woman who has been in the country for many years and has single-handedly created a large company in the entertainment industry such as Deep Blue Entertainment. One is the most outstanding contemporary talent of the Clover family in North America, the successor of the Yang family who was abducted by me. The meeting of the two strong women of the East and the West immediately threw me off.
Yang Wei was deliberately angry with me and didn't talk to me, but Fang Nan... Although this woman is affectionate to me, she is also a strong woman who has fought in the mall after all. In 2010, there was Yang Wei around me. From the emotional point of view, Yang Wei's position in my heart is probably the most special one, because she is not only my beloved woman, but also the biggest helper in my career. So after Fang Nan met Yang Wei, she was very polite. Obviously, she very much hoped that everyone's first official contact would leave a good impression on both parties.
The result is... After the two women talked, they simply left me aside.
Now that I have exposed my identity in Nanjing, I simply showed up in a grandiose manner. For a while, the people who stayed in the club under the old man Shanghai Qiao, Yan Di Qiaoqiao and others, Mu Aze and other friends from all walks of life, all met. And I officially moved into the old man's clubhouse... Oh, no, it should be said that it is the property under my name now.
Of course, the matter of me pretending to be sick naturally caused Qiao Qiao and Yan Di to complain for a while, especially Qiao Qiao, who grabbed a fruit knife on the spot and chased me around the room... Damn, Qiao Da The young lady raised her eyebrows, she really knows how to cut people!
There is no press conference, no media meeting, very low-key, just friends in a circle, met together, Qiao Qiao's father introduced a few important tycoon-level figures in domestic shopping malls, and everyone sat down and had a drink After drinking tea, I was officially pushed to the front desk, and announced that the shares of this clubhouse had been transferred to me. As for old man Qiao, he continued to hold the title of an honorary director.
Of course, in private, I paid 500 million RMB to Old Joe. This is real money!
Underworld characters, white characters, half-black and half-white characters, I'm so busy these days. During the several meetings held by Old Man Qiao, I took the time to meet all the named senior members in the clubhouse. There were also a few big shots who even held a small share of this place, so they were considered to be in the alliance line of everyone.
However, this clubhouse is not an industry exposed to the sun after all, so the change of such a large business did not alarm the media. It's not that the media didn't get the news... But after all, everyone knows the rules, some things can be reported, and some things are pretended not to know.
In contrast, a week later, another press conference held by Huaxing Company Shanghai Branch was even more eye-catching.
I officially made a high-profile appearance in front of the domestic media, and stepped onto the stage of the press conference with vigorous steps. I didn't have the sick face before, and I was full of high spirits.
When I reappeared, I immediately became the focus of media attention. I first announced an exchange of shares between Deep Blue Entertainment and Huaxing. This is a common thing in the market. After all, these two companies are now properties under my name. Such a share swap, you have me, and I have you, which has aggravated the blood relationship between the two companies. Then I announced a series of news: First, the development plan of Deep Blue Entertainment, which had been frozen for many days, I announced that Jenny, who is currently in Hollywood, USA, has officially signed a film co-produced by Billy Hill Films and Deep Blue Entertainment. Jointly invested and filmed, the male and female protagonists are co-starred by Jenny, who is so popular in China, and Lei Xiaohu, a popular American action superstar. As for the director candidate, James Cameron is no longer invited... Just kidding, this is a money-burning director. As for Jenny's new film, according to the plan, it will not be a big investment, and the new film for newcomers is still aimed at stability. If James Cameron is found, it will be difficult to ensure that the budget of the film production will not be overrun.
Then, I announced the official transfer of the headquarters of Huaxing Company from Vancouver, Canada to Shanghai, China! That is to say, the branch in Shanghai became the headquarters in a flash, while Huaxing in Canada became a branch instead.
At the press conference, I grandly announced: "I am a Chinese, I have yellow skin, black hair and black eyes! Therefore, it is my dream to return to China to develop. This decision is also to let everyone understand my determination!"
Naturally, no one can question this high-sounding reason—do you want to question the innocence of a patriotic rich overseas Chinese? !
At the same time, I once again announced that "Since the headquarters of Huaxing Company has moved to Shanghai, China, domestic business will be the top priority of Huaxing Company in the future, and Huaxing Company's North American branch, European branch, and... African branch Department, will send personnel to report to the headquarters, and work together to strive to build Huaxing's new headquarters in Shanghai to a large scale as soon as possible!"
In the following free question time for reporters, I answered some boring questions, such as how my leg was healed, which the reporters were most concerned about.
Of course I was lying.
…
"What the hell are you trying to do!"
This is what Wu Gang asked me.
His face was ugly, very ugly!
Because ever since I announced at the press conference that "China Star's North American branch, European branch, and... African branch will send personnel to report to the headquarters", he has been very sensitive to something!
Sure enough, in less than three days, "selected staff" from Huaxing's branches around the world appeared in Shanghai!
There were dozens of young men from the Canadian branch. Wu Gang only took one look and knew that these were definitely not "China Star Company employees", they were all the elites of the Canadian Huaxing Gang!
As for the staff of the African branch... it almost made Wu Gang fly into a rage!
When the "China Star Company African Branch Business Group to China" composed of more than one hundred black strong men stood in front of me, Wu Gang rolled his eyes at me directly!
With his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that these more than a hundred black men, although each of them was wearing a black suit, were all strong and straight, and some of them had ferocious and murderous expressions...
What kind of business group is this! These are all mercenaries brought in by the old warlord of Yunta!
But from the documents, no one can question the legitimacy of these people's identities!
Because the document is a valid legal document of a passport issued by the great head of state of country G, General Kunta! Of course, for more than a hundred people, I paid half a million dollars to that guy in Kunta.
African lives are worthless, and this point is even more obvious!
Afterwards, I left the depressed and speechless Wu Gang - anyway, before I took any action, he had nothing to do with me. As for his warnings, I temporarily ignored them.
Abandoning Wu Gang, I formally met Qiao Laohu once, and I asked him to do me a favor.
"Are you looking for a jeweler?"
"Well, and it must be the most powerful jeweler in the country." I said lightly, "You don't want to find a domestic agent of a foreign jewelry consortium to meet me... What I want to meet is a real local jewelry dealer. You don’t need many big names, just three or four.”
The old fox glanced at me: "Are you also interested in jewelry business?"
I smiled slightly, then took out a small black cotton bag from my arms, then slowly turned it over in front of him, and dumped the contents on the glass table in front of me...
Wow...
The old fox's eyes immediately widened!
That's about a hundred diamonds! Even the smallest grain inside has at least one carat!
"It's all real, natural, and original without any artificial cutting." I said lightly, "This is part of it. If you need it, I can give you another two or three hundred of these at any time." Looking at it With his face, I slowly threw another bombshell: "And, these are just the first batch!"
A one-year-old man's eyes flashed in the old man's eyes: "You... you got it from Africa?"
"You must know that I have done some things in Africa, and now the head of African country G, the old warlord named Yunta, is my friend." I smiled faintly: "The diamond mine in country G is part of me. Unfortunately, due to the international blockade, diamonds from country G cannot be exported, and can only be smuggled out."
Qiao Laohu is still a veteran after all, he frowned and thought for a while: "However, African diamonds have always been smuggled to Europe. The largest diamond organizations in the world are all in Europe. If you want to do it in China... I'm afraid it will be difficult. "
I sighed, this time for real: "I talked to people in Europe... but you know, their prices are too low, it's just exploitative! But the market is monopolized by them, and there's nothing I can do about it. So I want to try my luck at home."
The old fox didn't speak.
I continued: "I have sent special people to take care of this business in Africa, but the effect is not good now. Those European diamond merchants are jackals, and I don't want to deal with them anymore. I have done a survey, and the largest in Asia The diamond processing industry is in India. More than half of the domestic diamond market is monopolized by Europeans. There are branches in major cities in China for such things as psychic diamonds. These are all European companies. It is difficult for local jewelers to source goods, so they can only import goods from Europeans, or from India. I mean, let's find a way to legalize the diamonds in my hands, and then ship them to China... after all, domestic It’s a huge market and the diamond sales every year are staggering!”
The old fox closed his eyes and thought for a while, I was waiting for him to speak.
There is no way to find him to cooperate. After all, although I have risen very quickly, the fields covered by my tentacles are still too small.
In all aspects of the relationship, it is still far, far worse than the old Jianghu like Qiao Laohu. In this diamond business, I was overwhelmed by the Europeans.
My plan is to find several big local jewelers in China as buyers. Of course, in order to put the diamonds in my hands under the cloak of legality, I still have to find a way from abroad.
The ideal is India, the largest diamond processing industry in Asia.
Register a company in India, obtain diamond distribution rights, and then transfer my smuggled diamonds to the company in India, and then import them into the country, and it becomes a "legitimate diamond from India"!
But I can't do this alone.
I know that the old fox has a business in India, he has a software company in India, and an import and export company (it seems to also do a little smuggling business). I need his connections and connections in India. There are also domestic jewelers, I don't know any of them, and I also need his help.
How lucrative is the diamond business? At the beginning, I didn't know much about this issue. Even when I was negotiating with Yunta, I estimated that it would be pretty good to get 20 to 30 million a year at most.
But after careful investigation by people I stayed in Africa these days, the result shocked me!
The simplest, on the market, in jewelry stores, a one-carat diamond can be sold for about 15,000 U.S. dollars.
This is the price of a legitimate diamond!
So what about smuggled diamonds? It's unbelievable to say it! A smuggled diamond in Africa. Sell it to those smugglers who take diamonds for... less than a thousand dollars a carat!
How many times the profit is this? !
Those legal diamond groups all over the world are actually doing diamond smuggling business! Two-thirds of the diamonds in circulation in the market are of unknown origin! It's almost an open secret! Imagine, those European diamond groups bought smuggled diamonds from Africa at a low price, then bleached them in a place, changed them to a legal name, and sold them at ten times or even dozens of times the price! !
Now that I have seen the huge profits inside, I would be a fool if I sold the diamonds to those European diamond groups at a low price!
"This matter, we need to plan it carefully." The old fox calculated it. This is almost a profit of hundreds of millions every year, and the old fox was also tempted.
"We cooperate, you will be my middleman, and I will give you 15% of the annual profit." I said lightly.
"Thirty percent." The old fox smiled slyly: "In terms of business and business, you are trying to get my idea of the Indian industry. You need the relationship network I have created from my business in India! You can't do it without me."
"Hmph." I glanced at him: "Old fox, what are you doing with all that money... You won't be taking advantage of my son in the future."
This sentence made the old fox's face collapse immediately. He looked at me twice, gritted his teeth and said, "You are right! Well, 20%! It can't be lowered."
"Deal." I smiled.
The old fox was pinched by me, he seemed a little unwilling, and couldn't help snorting: "I said you...you boy, you signed that contract, and I also transferred this place to you. Qiao Qiao will give me an heir? I'm getting old, the sooner this happens, the better."
I shrugged my shoulders: "Have a baby? Don't worry, I will definitely have a baby. But Qiao Qiao said that she is still young, and she wants to play for two more years, and she doesn't want to have a baby so early... I can't force her, why don't you tell her yourself go?"
Thinking about his daughter's rebellious nature, the old fox shook his head directly: "Forget it, you guys communicate by yourself, she may not be willing to listen to me."
After a pause, he asked me again: "Why did you get so many thugs from abroad? Those black people look like soldiers who have taken off their uniforms. This is the country, which is different from Western countries. Don't expect to do anything here. Something out of the ordinary. If something goes wrong, no one can help you suppress it!"
I smiled slyly: "You are right... Well, they are indeed soldiers, soldiers who have taken off their military uniforms... But they are also human beings. If they put on suits, they are my company employees, aren't they?"
The old fox saw that I refused to say it clearly, so he didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the diamonds on the table greedily, frowned, and said, "These things are not good in quality, they are too small... Don't you have any big diamonds in your diamond mine? No ten-carat ones?"
This time it was my turn to smile wryly.
"Big ones? Of course there are big ones! But..." I shook my head with a helpless expression.
Alas, Qiao Qiao accidentally saw this bag of diamonds yesterday.
Women, when they see diamonds, they go crazy!
The gentle Yan Di, the considerate Fang Nan, and even the sensible and intelligent Yang Wei are all no exceptions!
Even the little money fan who came to chat with Yan Di to reminisce about the past almost dropped his eyeballs.
As a result... the largest diamonds in the bag were picked out by several women on the spot.
Especially Miss Qiao, looking at this bag of diamonds, with that look in her eyes, she almost couldn't help but want to rob. She even got a whimsical idea of getting a diamond slipper... just like the crystal slipper worn by Cinderella in the fairy tale!
my God! A pair of shoes made out of diamonds? Then I don't do any diamond business anymore, how many diamonds do I need!
