As the plane whizzed by, Li Du flew straight from Flagstaff to Las Vegas.
This time around, he did not take a car. In the United States, flying was indeed the best form of transportation. It was fast, cheap, safe, and convenient.
The only troublesome thing was that when going through the airport security check, the security guard saw through the X-ray machine that there were so many gemstones in the two boxes. Their shocked expressions and eager eyes made Li Du nervous.
When he walked out of the Las Vegas airport, the people arranged by Harry Winston had arrived. The director, Roger Golden, personally came over in a Rolls-Royce stretch limousine.
The car drove directly into the airport and picked up Li Du inside. The luxurious Rolls-Royce sparkled and attracted the attention of a large number of passengers.
From there, Li Du witnessed the imposing manner of Harry Winston, which was like a starving camel that was still bigger than a horse.
After all, this was the world's top jewelry company. If not for the investment mistake, it would have been too difficult to buy its shares.
However, Li Du's image was even more eye-catching than the limousine. This time around, he had brought along three bodyguards: Godzilla, Big Quinn, and Brother Wolf.
If Hans had not been busy selling watch hairsprings, he would have brought Hans along as well.
Godzilla and Big Quinn were tall and strong. Brother Wolf, who was 1.9 meters tall, was already very big in front of ordinary people. However, compared to these two, he was like a skinny teenager.
Of course, the real security was still up to Brother Wolf.
The three of them were dressed like bodyguards: black suits, white shirts, black ties, and big sunglasses. They had the demeanor of an elite.
Walking in front of them was naturally the boss. Li Du, the boss, was wearing a blue trench coat. When he walked, he had the demeanor of a boss.
Such a combination of four people was naturally very eye-catching. Roger saw them at a glance and extended his hand from afar. "Li, welcome to Las Vegas."
The trunk opened and Godzilla and Big Quinn loaded the two boxes into the car.
Seeing the boxes, Roger's eyes lit up and he asked tentatively, "What are these?"
Li Du smiled. "They are all fire opals."
Roger took a deep breath and then tried hard to lower his voice. In an excited tone, he said, "The company can plan a large-scale opal jewelry conference next year!"
This kind of jewelry conference was an important conference for luxury companies. They would invite celebrities from all walks of life, celebrities, and tycoons to attend. On one hand, they could make money, and on the other hand, they could increase their reputation.
As the car started to move, Roger asked Li Du if he wanted to take a break. Li Du shook his head and said that he was not tired. After all, the flight between Flagstaff and Las Vegas was only slightly more than an hour.
Thus, the car drove to the Harry Winston building and both parties went straight to the point.
Before opening the box in the office, Li Du asked Roger, "Hey, buddy, I brought a lot of fire opals this time around. Can the company take it all?"
Roger could not hide the excitement in his eyes. "No problem, I can! I have reported your situation to the headquarters, and President Cole is very interested. He has convened a board meeting, and everyone is in favor of purchasing high-quality fire opals! "
Hearing this, Li Du was not happy. Instead, he sighed and said, "The group is really in a precarious situation now."
A batch of fire opals had alarmed the entire board of directors. Before Harry Winston made the mistake of investing in the diamond mine, this would have been unimaginable.
Now, Harry Winston Inc. needed to seize every opportunity to make a profit, which was why it placed so much emphasis on the fire opals. They had no other choice.
Knowing that he had revealed the company's situation in a moment of excitement, Roger immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Li Du casually changed the topic and said, "The number of opals this time around is more than the previous time. Be prepared."
"I am already prepared." Roger still could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
Although a batch of fire opals and a special meeting on fire opals could not revive Harry Winston Inc. from the brink of death, it could change the company's current predicament.
The gemstones that Li Du had brought were equivalent to ginseng. For critically ill patients, this was an elixir that could keep them alive. As long as they could keep them alive, there would be a later rescue plan.
Seeing his excitement, Li Du smiled and said, "I am not asking you to be mentally prepared. I am asking you to be financially prepared."
He nodded to Godzilla and Big Quinn. The two of them opened the box expressionlessly, and orange-red gemstones appeared in front of them.
The room had a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and bright sunlight shone in through the window. When the light shone on the gemstones, the light reflected and sparkled. A dazzling halo appeared!
Roger was dumbfounded. After a long time, he groaned, "Oh, God!"
The previous time, Li Du had brought 58 gemstones. This time around, he had brought 600 gemstones!
In 20 days, Li Du had collected a total of more than 700 gemstones. However, many of them were defective. Some were small, some were not of good color, and some were too turbid. All of them were picked out by him.
The remaining gemstones were almost all of good quality.
Unlike ordinary people picking gemstones, Li Du used the little bug to search for gemstones very quickly. If the color of the gemstone was not good, the little bug might ignore it.
In the process of searching for gemstones, the little bug itself was a screening process. Basically, the gemstones that could be found by the little bug would not be of poor quality.
In the box in Godzilla's hands, the gemstones were of excellent quality. Every gemstone on the top layer was contained in a small box.
Among them, the largest gemstone in the box was the size of a toddler's fist. It was definitely priceless!
Li Du gestured with his hand. "Do you understand what I mean? I need enough money in the company's account. "
Hearing his words, Roger recovered from his shock.
He was a man who had seen the world. Harry Winston was divided into six regions in the United States. As the director of the Southwest Region, he had seen countless jewelry, gemstones, and luxury goods.
If these were diamonds, although the value would be higher, Roger would not be so shocked. Because a diamond mine could produce tens of thousands of carats of diamonds in a single batch, he had seen that kind of scene.
However, opals were rarer than diamonds. Only the fire opals produced in northern Mexico and the Southwest of the United States were even rarer. Seeing so many of them at once was too much of a shock to him.
Roger took a deep breath and said, "I need to call President Cole. I think he will be very eager to meet you."
Li Du nodded. "Very well, I also want to meet him."
He had to meet the person at the helm of his investment company. Previously, he had too little equity and was not qualified. Now, not only was he a shareholder, but he was also a big client. He was already qualified to meet the group's president.
Harry Winston was a family business. It was built by Harry Winston himself and taken over by his eldest son, Ronald Winston, in the 1970s.
Five years ago, Ronald Winston had to step back due to health reasons, and the company was handed over to his eldest son, Cole Winston.
This time, Li Du wanted to see Cole Winston.
