Chapter 1441 Cooperation with Tiffany
Qin Guozhong hurriedly pulled Li Cong, telling him not to go on talking nonsense with Zhou Fatty because of this problem. Everyone can see that Fatty has moved sincerely this week, mother, there is love at first sight in this world. It should be right, but it always feels a little uncomfortable to appear on Zhou Fatty. This guy is an abusive master, how can he rely on another woman, even if this woman is very beautiful. M
"I said fat man, I don’t have any problem with which girl you want to chase. I can create conditions for you here, but the question is, what about my business in Hong Kong? That is also a transaction of hundreds of billions of dollars a year, I I know that you have been rich in the past few years, and you can eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime, but you can’t ask me to find someone to top it up temporarily, right? Being a brother can’t be like you.
Li Cong suddenly thought of himself in Hong Kong The jewelry wholesale business in China has only developed so quickly with Zhou Fatty in the past few years. It would be troublesome if this kid can't leave here anymore.
"As long as you can, I won't marry a daughter-in-law because of your brother's career? You are going to delay my lifelong event. The brothers of other people are expecting their brothers to get married soon. How can I stand on you like this? If you want money or a happy boss, I’m going to resign and I’ll quit.
Fatty Zhou looked sad and indignant, but seeing Li Cong and Qin Guozhongliang being happy, he knew immediately that this Liang brother wanted Let's get rid of myself.
"Okay, don't quit your job, I have a way. Isn't it time to change the transaction? You are willing to stay here again. When you leave, I will transfer her directly to you to work. That's it, letting you resign is my biggest loss, but there are still many people who can take over the job of your future daughter-in-law." Li Cong actually thought of this method a long time ago, just to see how Fatty Zhou is. At this moment, I saw this guy yelling for resignation. It was obvious that I was going to be serious, and I really felt that this fat guy was sometimes cute.
"It's pretty much the same. I'm really happy today, but it has nothing to do with your diamond mine. I am happy that I have a new goal. That woman is my new goal. By the way, you said that woman What’s the child’s name? 1...." One sentence directly put Li Congji under the table, and when I saw that Qin Guozhong also looked defeated, this face is the name of the person who hasn’t heard clearly. They are your wife, if they let the girls know, they probably won't pay attention to you.
"Okay, let's stop talking about your useless things here. Old Qin, you have to give me a detailed introduction to this Tiffany situation. I didn't have time to ask in detail just now. Let's go first." Although it is very cheap Vodka, but the three of them still had a good taste. Just this wine, Qin Guozhong, Tiffany's information, and Li Cong said it. As for the fat man, at this moment, there is still a silly fantasy about his wife, just Elaine. Na didn't even know at the moment, she was busy negotiating with the two major jewelry companies in the United States.
It was opened in New York City in 1837 by Charles Tiffany and John B. Young. At the beginning, it was named "Tiffany and Young" (ffany&ung). The store is located in Lower Manhattan. It is a boutique specializing in selling fashion goods. The company was run by Tiffany, Young and Ellis. Tiffany blue (ffanyblue) is the iconic color of Tiffany. Soon after the company was established, Tiffany adopted this unique color as a symbol of their quality and craftsmanship.
It can also be said that the film "Tiffany's Breakfast" is credited to making Tiffany famous all over the world. In fact, Hepburn himself, the protagonist of the movie, is Tiffany's avid suitor.
In the American Civil War, President Lincoln paid a visit to Tiffany in spite of the severity of the war and bought a pearl necklace for his wife. At Lincoln's inauguration ceremony, the President's wife was wearing it. There is also a legend that at the moment when President Lincoln was assassinated (at 7:22 on April 15, 1865), the Atlas clock that had been used as a decoration since 1853 on the Timeni company building suddenly stopped at this moment. . This may be a coincidence, but it leaves a mystery.
Let us trace the history of Tiffany. It was 1837, and Tiffany and his friends opened a small grocery store selling antiques, stationery, and pottery for only US$1,000. The turnover on the first day was only US$5. But 12 years later, it has become a shop that sells watches, silver products, and jewelry. In 1851, the cooperation with the world's silverware manufacturers made Tiffany one of the world's famous silverware manufacturers. In 1867, at the World Exposition in Paris, Tiffany won the Silverware Excellence Award, leading to a shining course.
In 1877, Tiffany purchased a diamond weighing 287 carats. In order to make it show the most beautiful brilliance, it adopted a shape of 90 cut faces. It became a treasure of Tiffany. At that time, the trend of using diamonds as engagement rings was rising. However, the mosaic technology at that time could not fully reflect the charm of diamonds. In 1886, Tiffany Company invented the "Tiffany Making Method" that uses six prongs to inlay diamonds. This setting method can maximize the diamond's brilliance. This style designed by Timeni is still used as the shape of the engagement ring.
The reason why Tiffany has today's performance lies in its brave challenge to modernity under the premise of emphasizing tradition.
Tiffany's mission is "the unremitting pursuit of beauty and character." In order to fulfil his promise, Dimeni did not hesitate to cooperate with famous art masters such as Picasso to create high-quality jewelry. In the 1980s, Picasso’s daughter, Baroma Picasso, designed X-shaped jewelry that symbolizes kisses for Tiffany, which swept the world.
Since its establishment in 1837, ffany has always regarded the design of original works with stunning beauty as its purpose. Facts have proved that ffany jewellery can not only express the love of lovers, but its original silverware, stationery and tableware are even more fascinating. "Classic design" is the definition of ffany's work, that is to say, every amazing ffany masterpiece can be passed on from generation to generation. ffany's design never caters to the ups and downs of popular fashion, so it will not fall behind, because it is completely above the trend. ffany's creative essence and philosophy are full of strong American characteristics: the simple and bright lines tell the calmness and transcendence of clarity and fascinating elegance. Harmony, proportion and organization can be naturally integrated and presented in every ffany design. ffany's design emphasizes excellence. It can take inspiration from all things in nature at will and leave cumbersome and delicate contrived, just simple and clear, and each masterpiece reflects the innate straightforwardness, optimism and wit of the American people. . Tiffany (ffany) soon designed a blue box with a white ribbon, which became its famous symbol. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Tiffany (ffany) brand used stainless steel jewelry boxes for the first time, and emphasized that silver, not gold.
There is another interesting thing between Tiffany and the president of the United States. In 1861, President Lincoln spent $530 in Tiffany’s shop to buy a set of pearl jewelry for his wife Mary, so that she could be re-elected as president. Wearing it at the swearing-in ceremony, after Lincoln set a precedent, other US presidents and foreign heads of state rushed to follow suit. One hundred years later, another celebrity in American history also walked into Tiffany, wanting to buy jewelry for his wife, and asked Walterng, the then boss, if he could give the President of the United States a discount? Walterng replied: "I'm sorry, when Lincoln came, there was no discount." Eisenhower paid the full price convincingly. Tiffany pays attention to high quality and pursues perfection. Afterwards, almost every Mr. President would go to that shop to choose a piece of jewelry for his wife when he took office again, but now the boss no longer collects money. But the requirement is to take a huge photo of the first lady and their jewelry, so the photos in front of them will be rotated with the President of the United States, one after another, although these jewels have lost millions of dollars. , But the reputation it brings is immeasurable. There were once collectors who offered a boring price of 35 million to buy the photos of the first lady collected by Tiffany, but they were rejected by the owner. They thought it was their most precious. assets.
It can be said that Tiffany's main attack direction has not been in the diamond business, but they have always had the idea of making diamonds bigger, so it seems that they have to make new moves when they find Li.
"What's the matter? I've been talking for a long time, is there any plan for this mentality? But I can tell you that this Tiffany has very strong funds. They have huge investors behind the scenes. I don't know who they are. The fat man knows this very well. They bought a lot of good things at the Hong Kong jade auction this year. People in the industry have also observed a section and found that they spent so much money on buying jade and The rough jade stone did not affect their original business in the slightest.
Qin Guozhong feels a little uncomfortable when he wants to fight this behemoth. His home is considered a big jewellery in Asia, but it is still too bad compared to these world-class ones. Far, although the figures are almost the same, but my unit here is Hong Kong dollars, and people’s units are boring, five times the difference, and people’s background and customers are more than I can grab, this is the most terrible .
"Fatty, it's serious. How many jadeites did Tiffany buy and how did they pay for it." Li Cong kicked Fatty Zhou who was still sleepwalking. If he didn't wake up at this time, he wouldn't mind giving this kid more. Two-legged.
Fatty Zhou naturally knows when to speak and when to be silly. Hearing Li Cong's question about his work, he immediately thought of the somewhat hunched American. The actions of the little old man are still in his mind. Tiffany’s little old man is amazing. At that time, we were auctioning ten pieces of jadeite of the same size and color. Each piece was worth between 20-30 million U.S. dollars, and those people were five hundred and fifty thousand. With a price increase of 100,000, the old man’s first bid went straight to 30 million U.S. dollars, but no one snatched it with him. He bought the second piece for 30 million. The remaining jadeites were sold at a higher price. It’s a higher one. This old man saves a lot, you know? They are the protagonists of our trade fair. We sold about 13.5 billion US dollars of jade in this trade fair. This old guy alone They bought 3 billion, more than a quarter. As far as we know, they don’t have so much liquidity.
When it comes to work, this fat man has become a little more serious. Compared with diamonds, those jade trades He seems to be the little head. After listening to Li Cong, he hopes to see them soon. If this large diamond mine of more than ten trillion carats is in his own hands, I really don’t know in which life he will dig it, and he has already I have paid trillions of dollars for this mine, and now it’s time to get it back. Otherwise, there may be a problem with my own capital chain.
"Hehe, the multi-billion dollar transaction cannot be regarded as their biggest transaction. Wait, I believe they will offer us a price that we all like. Okay, let’s not talk about official business for the rest. Let’s continue to drink. Right.
After Li Cong finished talking, he filled the two guys and drank it in. That night, none of the three of them could get up. Li Cong didn’t control himself and was drunk. The next day When I woke up, I saw a helicopter in the sky. Tiffany’s representative had arrived, and he was still the old man with a hunchback. He was the current helm of Tiffany, Taki Tiffany, if it wasn’t for Li Cong’s jewelry. He won't go to Hong Kong to participate in such a trade fair when the group is connected. Just find a family back, and if they come in person, it means that Li Cong is very good.
Li Cong’s diamond mine is definitely worth the money. A large number of diamonds have been released in just two days. At least if the old man wants to order, it’s absolutely fine, plus where he got it from Alosa Diamond, I’m afraid he won’t open his mouth.
Seeing the helicopter in the sky, Li Cong felt that it was time to open up an airport here. This matter had to go with the people from Sequoia Tree. He had to make him believe that this is a civilian airport. They wouldn't approve it if they died. It seemed that they had to rely on the military division. This guy didn't even contact him. It seemed that his life was not very easy.
"Hello, Mr. Li, introduce yourself. I am Tiffany’s boss. Just call me Taki. In fact, if you follow the Chinese people’s statement, you should call me an old man. I’m not too young. It’s not cheap for you.
This old man seems to be very kind. He has one thing in common with those Americans who Li Cong has seen, and one difference. The common point is that the person in front of him is fluent in Chinese and speaks fluent Chinese. Li Cong in the Beijing film is a little bit ashamed. The difference is that he does not have the domineering attitude of those Americans, which makes people feel very comfortable. Such Americans are not very easy to find these days.
"Haha, you are right. I think we call you the old man. This is very kind. I am Li Yi, the person in charge here. Please give me guidance from the elderly. I can say that I am a primary school student in the diamond business. Yes, you are like Taishan Beidou." Li Cong has not done the flattering thing for a long time, but it is better to hurry up and be humble to exchange the diamonds in his hand for money. Say a few words It won't die.
"I don't think we should stand outside anymore. The weather here is really too cold. Let's go inside. Today, the first batch of diamonds came out from my mine. I will wait for your old man to come and take a look. "It’s said that this customer belongs to God, and it’s okay to say a few good words to God yourself, maybe you can make a big deal.
"Haha, good, refreshing enough, I thought I won’t be able to see your goods until tomorrow. Now it seems that my old man can’t keep up with the thinking of you young people. Anyway, I’m not too tired to go in and take a look. Today, if possible, let’s decide on the big things first, and then we’ll gossip.
The old man was also very happy, as he said, he had to negotiate the price first, and the rules in the jewelry market are generally like this. But Li Congba's rules were changed, which made him very happy.
Several people once again returned to the room that Qin Guozhong and two of them took yesterday. At this moment, there are a huge number of brilliant diamonds. Even the big boss of a jewelry company might not have seen so many diamonds, he told After he goes there, he will buy more jewellery. The price will definitely not be too high. He still doesn’t believe that the best diamonds are everywhere. Now it seems that this is absolutely true. There are tens of thousands of diamonds in South Africa every year. The carats are good, but there are so many produced here in one day. If you are not tempted by yourself, the old guy will do a quick calculation. After carefully checking the purity of the diamond, he will talk to a few people. When he arrived at the rest area, he didn't walk fast along the way, because he knew that he would start talking about business after sitting down, and he was not ready yet.
"How about it, my man, the goods here are very good, right?" Li Cong said when he offered him a cup of coffee. Although the man said that he was not very tired just now, Li Cong can see that he is so old. , If you are not tired at the moment, that's the hell.
The old man quarreled Li Cong with a gratitude and smiled. If he didn't agree with him, he would always be unable to do so. Look at his young staff, they are all okay, but his body is a bit unbearable, and he doesn't want to be obliged. I only came here if I was sure that I could enter the diamond industry on a large scale, and it was relatively stable compared to Africa, so I got it for the first time, but I was still very satisfied after I came. Yes, the is good, and the advantages of good goods are beyond my imagination.
"Your goods are quite good. I think we will become a good partner." The old man smiled and shook hands with Li Cong, but his thoughts arrived at a news released by the Ministry of Commerce, as of November 2041. Sales of jewelry and watches in the United States reached $450 billion, an increase of 12.5% over the same period last year. According to commercial data from the US Department of Commerce, in November 2041, jewelry products rebounded strongly after experiencing a trough. The profit of jewelry sales in November was 41%, and jewelry sales rose by 8.9 percentage points. However, the strong upward momentum did not have much impact on jewelry sales, mainly for the following two reasons: Merchants such as kay and ffany that mainly focus on retail jewelry are losing market share. In contrast, such as Wal-Mart The sales of .penney and other merchants with multiple sales channels soared 15.4% in December. From the perspective of annual sales, the sales in December 2041 showed a downward trend, accounting for 19.3% of the annual jewelry sales, and the sales in December 2040 were 19.7%. As the economy slowly accelerates, if the price and currency rate of cut diamonds and heavy metals in the United States remain at a moderate level, it is expected that the sales of jewelry and watches in the United States will increase by about 6% in 2052.
"Mr. Li, please forgive me. At the beginning, I didn't expect you to have so many high-quality diamonds here. Although the US economy is a bit in recession, and the number of people buying jewelry is still declining, it is for the general public. For jewellery, such as those rich people, they can’t make themselves very rich because of a period of recession. This is impossible. In their opinion, even if they lose hundreds of millions of dollars, they can buy Millions of dollars worth of jewellery is not a problem, so what I want to order is absolutely high-end diamonds, which are those on your table just now. I will give you a price. Think about it. We are a long-term cooperation. If you can In the future, I will ask for a sum of 700 million U.S. dollars every month. This is a one-month amount. At the end of the year, I will ask for a two-month amount because of Christmas. I don’t know Mr. Li about this?" The old man smiled and said that during the conversation, it was decided that nearly tens of billions of gold were bought and sold every year. If this were to be spread, it might be the biggest diamond deal this year.
Li Cong glanced at the old man. To be honest, the price he gave was not very high, but slightly higher than Qin Guozhong’s, but the sincerity he gave was very good, with nearly tens of billions of dollars in the whole year. Although their annual turnover is hundreds of billions of dollars, they are not all diamonds. They bought a lot of their own jade a while ago, and sold them after reselling. Li Cong smiled and shook hands with him. This contract Even if it's settled down, in fact, verbal contracts are still very useful when some big people decide things.
"I remember you used to have a lyric to pay the rent. Friends came and had fine wine. Now our contract is basically set. Do we have fine wine?" The old man knows a lot about China. Li Cong smiled and nodded and asked Karelina to bring up a few glasses of fine wine. It was indeed fine wine. Li never used European wines. He knew that the things he made by his own eyes must not be able to keep up with Europe. Those red wines are different in the eyes of Americans. They feel that the best wine in the world may be from Li Cong Group. No matter what they are, they like them, so Li Cong took out p6 Wine, there are only 70,000 bottles of such things in the world every year, which is already very good. If they take more, they will doubt it.
"Old man, this bottle of wine was rewarded to me when I made contributions to the group. I have never been willing to drink it. Today, we fell in love and drank it together." Li Cong said with a smile. People want to laugh now and dare not laugh. This guy doesn't even blush when lying, and rewards you with anything like this. You don't have as many things as you want.
"Haha, Mr. Li is indeed a member of the first family, he is bold, old man, I have a good taste today, in fact, I have been looking for such wines, but you also know that your group sells so little every year. It doesn’t matter how much it is. A few days ago, I heard that someone sold it on the black market, so I asked my junior at home to come and have a look. Who knows it hasn’t been there yet someone called and said the price of the Steel King’s house was 3.5 million US dollars. I bought two bottles. You said I’m depressed. I’m really right to be here.
This guy speaks Chinese but is not vague at all. He uses some spoken words very well, Li Cong Seeing that the old man was staring at his wine bottle when he was talking, it was not a fuss, just picked it up quickly and drank it.
Of course, the few entourages next to him are not so lucky. If such a good thing makes them feel that they can be supplied in unlimited quantities, it would be bad. In fact, such a limited edition is said to be tens of thousands of bottles per year. You can visit Li Cong If you take it out and give it away, you have to have that number. As long as it is not too excessive, no one can see it. Besides, if someone tells it, just say that it is fake wine, just say the cost technology of others. It's really amazing.
After everyone had a few drinks, Qin Guozhong and Fatty Zhou looked at the old guy and obviously wanted to talk to Li Cong. Both of them left under the pretext of having something to do, and several of his assistants also went out at this time. Li Cong knew that this formal negotiation had only begun.
"Mr. Li, in fact, the old man still has his own thoughts when he comes this time. I don't know what Mr. Li thinks about the European jewelry market?" Sure enough, he is waiting for himself here. If Li Cong feels that he has not guessed wrong, this The old guy should want to unite with him to do a business in Europe. Of course, he has the same idea as you. Who doesn't want to make a lot of money? My army is like a gold swallowing beast, and I just spent three trillion dollars, if I don't quickly earn it back, I feel uncomfortable.
"Hehe, the old man should be very familiar with the jewellery market in Europe. I don't know much about these, so I think it's better for you to give me a plan on how to cooperate." Li Cong To be honest, I really don’t know how to invest in things over there, especially in industries such as jewelry. Although the jewelry group under the energy group has already landed in Europe, the results achieved can only be maintained, if not If Jade holds it, it may lose money.
Different countries in the Europa region have different jewellery consumption habits and characteristics. Jewelry exporters should design jewellery products suitable for local needs in accordance with the unique markets and fashion trends of these countries. I have studied this energy group, but there are not many people who understand. This old man is an absolute expert, and his turnover in Europe is not comparable to himself.
France occupies the third place in the EU's jewelry market consumption. In jewelry sales, gold jewelry accounted for 52%; diamond jewelry accounted for 38%; platinum jewelry and silver jewelry were 5% and 1%. In the market, neckwear and wristwear are the most popular. Generally, jewellery tends to combine gray metals with pearls, or use peridot, blue topaz, topaz, garnet and other colored gemstones to inlay jewelry. Jewelry made by using different colors of gemstones or metals and other materials together was also very popular.
Italy: Has the largest jewelry market in the EU countries. Gold jewellery accounts for the largest proportion in the Italian jewelry market, and lighter hollow styles such as hoop earrings, necklaces, rings and platinum wedding rings are the most popular. Italian ladies love larger pieces of jewelry. The inlaid jewellery is mainly in group setting, while platinum jewellery prefers the "new classic" design. Those low-priced and ethnic-style jewelry are also very popular in Italy. In addition to special emphasis on original designs, the selection of materials also prefers higher-grade crystals and small metal discs.
Germany: accounted for 13% of EU jewelry market consumption. Since most of the country’s imported jewellery comes from German factories in Eastern Europe and Asia, the production cost is relatively low and the market retail price is low. At present, people tend to buy low-priced jewelry such as pure silver, artificial jewelry and semi-precious stones.
Spain: The total value of jewelry consumption accounts for 7% of the total value of consumption in the EU market. Gold jewellery accounts for 42% of the total value of the jewelry market, of which 18k gold jewellery is the most popular. In terms of categories, diamonds, pearls, sapphires, rubies and emeralds set with 50 points are the most popular.
"Mr. Li, your Energy Group Jewelry Group has 39 chain stores in various regions of Europa, but I only have seven, but my turnover still exceeds yours. These are facts. You always like to do things right away. Expansive, in fact, this is a wrong idea. We are in the jewelry industry, so we have to make our own brand. In fact, at this point, Harry Winston and I still have There is a big gap. People's stores around the world are much less than ours, but their profits are no less than mine, and even more than mine. This is the business route that others take, and we need to change. "This old man is also observing Li Cong when he speaks. People in the energy group generally don't like others to say that they can't do things. If that's the case, they probably won't do business. He feels like he has to take a big risk when he says that. It’s risky, but Li has carefully thought about it from now on. People said that it’s not the way to start a business by yourself. No matter what, he opened various stores around the world and took up a lot of money. Of course. It also works. For example, your real estate is growing rapidly. If you have money without spending money, you can only depreciate it in your own hands. Sometimes the value of real estate will also depreciate, but more often Appreciation.
For example, a Li Cong store in downtown Paris has an annual turnover of less than 7 million Euros, which is a small profit of hundreds of thousands of Euros, but when you count the real estate, the store bought 9,500 euros per square meter, but two years have passed, someone has offered to buy 23,000 euros, and the value has appreciated a lot in two years, so Li Cong’s point of view is that no matter what, just spread it out. Anyway, what he has is money. Otherwise, you can only wait for the devaluation, of course you can't say these words yourself.
"The old gentleman is right. Is our cooperation in Europe going to change?" Li Cong thought of something, but he needs confirmation.
"Yes, my idea is like this. We can select the more powerful stores under yours and mine to form a new group, expand them vigorously, and make them the flagship store of European jewelry. In the jewelry industry, As long as there is no problem with investment, then we can sit back and collect huge profits. I have also calculated that the size of the four stores must be more than 3,000 square meters, and the various expenses of each store need about 100 million US dollars or more. , This has not counted their goods. If the goods are also included, the four stores cost more than tens of billions of dollars. I don’t know if Mr. Li can give me a word.
This old guy thought Li Cong might not be able to do it. The lord, even though he belongs to the Li family, such a young person in power is still rare. I hope to give both sides a room for Li Cong to ask for instructions.
"Hehe, don’t worry about this old man. Our group is a family-owned company. I believe you know it too. I am in charge of the jewelry business in this family. I am very satisfied with the plan of the old man. Do you know where the four stores we are going to open are located?" Li Cong knows that the reason why people propose to cooperate with the four is because of business reasons, and the other is also afraid that large groups like the energy group will have troubles of this kind.
"I also have thoughts about this. What about Milan, Paris, London and St. Petersburg. I know you would definitely like the other three. Maybe you will ask me why St. Petersburg." Seeing Li Cong nodded, he continued, "This There are more and more wealthy people in Russia. Both their economy has problems before and now. The consequence of this problem is that the gap between the rich and the poor has widened." This old guy seems to be really interested in jewelry The party studied deeply, and even got some information about the rich.
Caijing magazine said that Russia's strong economic growth in recent years has prompted a surge in the number of billionaires in Russia. Today, there are 411 wealthy individuals whose worth has crossed the $1 billion mark, which has quadrupled in five years. The Caijing list shows that many of the top rich are involved in the metal industry. In 2007, metal prices soared, and the top 4 rich people all benefited. In addition, Alexei Mordasov, the stock owner of the Russian North Steel Corporation, also took advantage of the "Dongfeng" increase in steel prices to take the fifth position on the Caijing list, with a personal wealth of US$22.1 billion. . Ural-Siberian Bank’s decision maker Weaver said on the 19th:
Although the economy has grown in other areas, this list shows how much Russia’s economic growth depends on rising commodity prices.
The St. Petersburg Times said, The wealth of the 500 richest people in Russia has tripled in 5 years, reaching US$1,716 billion, which is more than half of Russia’s GDP last year ~ EbookFREE.me ~ with the descendants of the European aristocracy and the American real estate family. Different, Russian billionaires are all "upstarts" who have recently made a fortune. Most of them are in their 40s, are married, have at least two children and at least one mistress. They made their fortunes after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, with unique insight and pungent methods, and quickly mastered national resources. They are all workaholics, working 18 hours a day to prosper their wealth empire. Their wealth does not depend on production, but is based on the development and sale of the country’s rich mineral resources. The iron ore and steel industries have created the most wealthy people, and their wealth is also the most substantial, followed by metal mining, processing and forest logging. They are generous and spend money like water; they pay attention to ostentation, and money must be seen by people. They believe that spending hard and living in luxury can fully reflect their success. To open such a high-end jewelry store in St. Petersburg, it is very desirable for them, and what these people like most is collecting diamonds, which can be seen from the treasure house Li Cong found.
In fact, these tycoons are spending huge sums of money internationally, because it is easier for them to get their money than other people. In the 1980s, they were not much different from other people, but in the nineteenth In the ten's, when the country declined, they became wealthy, and one by one became rich overnight. In the most luxurious jewelry store in Paris, they can often buy things like Chinese cabbage. A Russian Of the super-rich once bought tens of millions of dollars in diamonds in one day and took them back to their homes.
