In Rexbeka's view, the diamond mine in front of me is not a mine, but a mountain of pounds.
Diamond, this expensive thing that symbolizes eternal love in the eyes of the world, even if it is worth more, will not make Lake Northwestern card think that this thing can become hard currency.
More than a hundred years ago, the production of diamonds was very small, and they were only occasionally found in rivers and jungles. This crystal clear gadget would appear precious and was often used by nobles as decorations on clothes.
However, once there are too many things, they are worthless, just like the lives of the blacks in Rexbeka's eyes.
As South Africa unearthed the first tens of millions of carat diamond mines, the diamond dealers panicked. If the diamonds from this mine enter the market, the price of diamonds will plummet!
So, at that time, a certain person who appeared to be of British nationality came to operate and set up a company to directly buy this huge diamond mine, own exclusively, and limit the annual output of diamonds. In this case, Can barely maintain the preciousness of diamonds.
And this first company established to monopolize the diamond mine was called De Beers Mining, which later became the De Beers Group.
Even if you haven't heard of this giant that once occupied 80% of the world's diamond production, you must have heard the ad slogan that everyone knows-diamonds are forever, and one is forever circulating.
Well, this sentence is the iconic slogan of the De Beers Group, and it is also the most successful marketing in the entire century.
Of course, the diamond thing is mainly deceived by women, but more than 90% of the people who pay for it are men.
Soon, the De Beers Group discovered that even if it bought the diamond mine for an exclusive monopoly, it could not prevent the fact that
diamonds
had huge reserves on the earth. Soon, from Russia, from Sierra Leone, From many corners of the world, large-scale diamond mines have been explored. The major diamond groups in the diamond industry are completely panicked. They quickly reached an offensive and defensive alliance. On the one hand, they restrict diamond production and on the other hand, they develop emerging markets. At that time, the world's largest diamond jewelry consumer market was not China, but the United States.
Therefore, in all Hollywood movies at that time, as long as it was courtship, you would see the hero giving a diamond ring to the heroine... This scene was not from the script of the screenwriter, but the result of the joint efforts of the US consortium and the international diamond giants!
Therefore, after such a wave of Sao manipulation, almost everyone in the world believes that diamonds are a symbol of love. The larger the carat, the heavier the weight of love in your mind.
However, as a diamond practitioner, Rexbeka doesn't think so at all, and instead ridicules it.
However, putting aside his ridicule, the future principal of the Luojia Crown Group, what he said was a cruel reality after all.
In Africa, there are disputes due to diamond mines every year, and many locals bleed and die as a result, and there are also many mercenaries who lose their lives here.
"Whoever doesn't work well, let me smoke them severely." Rexbeka said in a blank expression, looking at the black laborers in the mine.
At this moment, in his eyes, besides mockery, there is only indifference.
A few black laborers moved a little slower, and they were severely beaten with a whip by the guards of the Luojia Crown Group. Since most of the black laborers were topless, when the whip was down, they would be ripped apart!
In this harsh living environment, these black laborers are extremely vulnerable to infection and die after being injured! It's like what Rexbeka kept saying-diamonds are not worth money, and the lives of black people are not worth much.
After all, if a black man dies, diamond giants like them can use so-called intermediary companies to obtain a large number of tribes in Africa who cannot afford to eat.
Of course, these "trafficed" blacks basically never return to their hometowns after they come out. The fate of the whole life is very tragic.
Rexbeka watched several black men kneeling to beg for mercy, and smiled. His thin lip line is beautiful, but it always gives people a cruel feeling.
This well-dressed young man has never treated these black laborers as adults.
"We want to eat! I can't do it anymore!" shouted a young black man.
He was "introduced" by the chief of the tribe two months ago. After he came, he discovered that he had fallen into the pit, and the intensive labor day and night, as well as the extremely poor food and accommodation environment, made this black man. His spirit is on the verge of collapse. He is often whipped and scarred. He was originally young and strong, but now in less than two months, he is already skinny.
Rexbeka looked at this guy and said to the guard on the side: "Bring him up from the mine, and let him speak in front of me."
So, two guards pushed the young black man and motioned him to come up.
Immediately afterwards, Rexbeka shouted condescendingly: "Anyone who has opinions about this working environment can bring it up to me. I have a reward."
A dozen black people all stepped forward.
These people came here within three months.
As for the black laborers who have been in the mine for more than three months, they are working silently, and at the same time cast pity on the companions who have stood up and have known for a while.
"Don't worry, if you have any comments, please mention it. I am the heir of the Luojia Crown Group. I am here for the first time. I think I will follow the good." Rexbeka said with a smile, "After all, you are doing a good job. Our group will get better."
The way he smiled, he seemed very friendly.
However, the black people who stood up because of his words seemed to have forgotten intentionally or unintentionally. The handsome heir just now ordered the black laborers who worked hard to be lashed with a whip.
So, fifteen minutes later, a row of black laborers stood in front of Rexbeka, a total of twelve people.
"With your back to the pit, stand still, even if you have more words, you have to tell me one by one." Rexbeka said with a smile.
At this moment, the black laborers had an illusion, as if their lives would really improve.
So they obeyed Rexbeka's words and stood in a row with their backs to the mine.
"Let's talk about it first." Rexbeka pointed to the young black man who had just stood up first, with a smile on his face, but the black man didn't know that behind their boss' smile was actually full of mockery.
The young black man shouted, "I can't stand it anymore. I really can't stand this kind of life. I don't have enough food every day, I don't sleep enough, and I will be beaten if I move a little slower. Look at the scars all over my body! Let us live a good life, or let us leave this place!"
The saliva stars he was talking about flew across, and Rexbeka moved a little away, frowned, showing a look of disgust, and at the same time he took out a delicate handkerchief and wiped some of the saliva stars splashed on his body.
"You ruined my expensive suit." Rexbeka wiped her clothes, threw her handkerchief far away, and threw it into the pit.
This expensive silk handkerchief floats, like falling leaves in autumn, without soul and life.
The young black obviously couldn't understand why this suit was ruined by just getting a little bit of spitting on himself. He shouted excitedly: "Is your suit important or our life important?"
Rexbeka frowned deeply, because while the young black man was speaking, another little bit of saliva splashed on his clothes.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the secretary beside him took a pistol from his waist and handed it to his hand.
Seeing this scene, all the black laborers' eyes widened, and they couldn't help showing a look of panic!
Rexbeka raised his pistol and pointed it at the black worker's forehead, and said, "Answer your question, sorry, my suit is more important."
After speaking, pull the trigger!
boom!
A gunshot!
The black worker had a big hole in his forehead by this gun!
A blood arrow shot out from the back of his head!
Kill if you say it!
"Damn, your blood is all dirty." Rexbeka looked down, and a few drops of blood were splashed on her pants!
The dozen or so black laborers around didn't expect that Rexbeka would actually shoot as soon as he said he would shoot. This is no different from a smiling devil!
They have been here for a short period of time, and they don't understand what is called Caosuga Life.
"Since you don't want to do it anymore, find a place and sleep. I think this mine is good. Sleeping in it is warm in winter and cool in summer." This Rexbeka said, taking two steps forward. Kicked the young black man's chest.
The black laborer was blown to his head, and his body was slowly leaning back. When Rexbeka kicked him like this, he suddenly fell like a kite with a broken line and fell directly into the mine!
boom!
A few seconds later, the sound of landing came!
At this time, the silk handkerchief thrown out by Rexbeka also fluttered from the air, and happened to land on the young black man's battered forehead, covering his face.
…………
"Damn, I actually think this picture is very beautiful, is there something wrong with my aesthetics?" Rexbeka stood on the edge of the mine, staring at her silk handkerchief, looking a little appreciative Said.
"You guys, do you have any comments to raise to me?" Seeing these black laborers trembling, no one said a word, so Rexbeka asked with a smile.
