For some reason, Li Du felt that Bradley was very annoying.
Maybe it was because their biomagnetic fields did not match. People were like that. Some people felt like old friends at first sight, while others felt like enemies at first sight.
Li Du and Bradley were the latter, especially since Li Du had ordered the helicopter pilot to make things difficult for them.
Bradley certainly did not feel much better about them. The two sides just had to feign civility here because of each other's identities.
He saw the big box in Brother Wolf's hand and deliberately asked, "Hey, what is your bodyguard carrying? It can't be your Harry Winston jewelry for this salon, can it? "
Everyone knew that the box was definitely not the luxury goods for the exhibition. After all, those things were too expensive. They were usually insured by a security company and transported. It was impossible for one person to carry them casually.
Bradley was digging a hole. He planned to wait for the other side to deny it, and then take the opportunity to mock the level of Harry Winston's security.
In the end, Li Du said, "Yes, these are some things to be exhibited."
The answer was unexpected. Bradley frowned and said, "Huh? I heard that the Harry Winston group has financial problems. It can't be that they don't even have the money to hire a professional security company, right? "
Li Du said, "There's something wrong with the information you heard. Don't believe those things on the Internet. The great philosopher Socrates said that people who read too much gossip on the Internet become stupid."
Hearing his humorous words, Cole, Sophie, Marceau, and the others all laughed softly.
He continued, "This box is a little gift that I brought at the last minute. When the time comes, I'll just put it on display for the guests to see, to raise everyone's spirits."
"What's in it? Are you sure it can raise everyone's spirits? "Bradley asked.
Li Du said, "I'm not sure, and I can't tell you what's in it. But aren't you good at finding information on the Internet? Maybe you can search it online."
Cole laughed and patted Li Du on the back. "You're funny, man."
Bradley also laughed, a little coldly. "Haha, it's really funny. You want to maintain a sense of mystery? That's good. I'm looking forward to seeing these precious treasures. "
Li Du said again, "Why maintain a sense of mystery? We're all on the same side. If everyone wants to see it, they can see it. "
He waved his hand, and Brother Wolf opened the box, revealing pieces of black opal still wrapped in rough stones.
These gems had not been cut, but they had been carved. Most of the surface of the raw stone had been peeled off, leaving only a small portion hanging on it, showing the original allure of black opal.
Marceau exclaimed when she saw hundreds of gems with their skins in front of her. "God, this is so cool. This is too shocking."
Cole was grinning from ear to ear. Another gem had been delivered to his doorstep.
Seeing these black opals, Bradley was momentarily surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "So many black opals? Amazing. You came from Lightning Ridge? A new opal vein has been discovered in Lightning Ridge? "
As Australia's most precious native gemstone, Bradley was, of course, very familiar with it. He had always wanted to enter this industry and control Australia's black opal.
However, very few mineral veins had been discovered in Lightning Ridge in recent years. Once they were discovered, they would be quickly snatched up by others. Therefore, his plan had not been carried out.
The black opal displayed by Li Du attracted his attention. Recently, he had not paid attention to the situation in Lightning Ridge. He did not expect another mineral vein to appear, which made him a little annoyed that he had not been able to act in time.
Loose black opals were useless to Bradley. The LVMH group was too powerful. Gems that were not of a certain size or were not precious were useless to them.
Li Du said, "Yes, a lot of mineral veins have been found on Lightning Ridge recently."
Bradley took this news very seriously. Instead of staying there to argue with them, he said goodbye and walked to the elevator, ready to arrange for his men to go to Lightning Ridge to find out the situation.
Cole accompanied Li Du and Sophie to their room. He had booked a presidential suite for them. The presidential suite at the Four Seasons Hotel was one of the best rooms in Sydney.
This hotel was not a main building. It had a main tall building, and there were other buildings on both sides of the wingspan, surrounding it like stars surrounding the moon.
The Four Seasons Hotel was in the best position on the Sydney coastline, with a panoramic view of the beautiful city skyline and a full view of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge.
The view of the presidential suite was even better. It even had an observation deck that extended out of the building and could see the scenery outside from three sides. The front was the blue sea.
The room was full of elegant furniture, gorgeous silk, and some of the furniture was rare mahogany in the Han and Tang dynasty style, showing the classical style of China.
There was a dedicated waiter in the suite. After Li Du and Sophie checked in, the waiter immediately brought tea and asked, "Sir, madam, would you like some tea?"
The waiter was a beautiful Chinese woman. After Li Du nodded and said yes, she began to show off her tea skills, which were not just a cup of tea made with hot water.
There was a restaurant in the room with a beautiful menu. If you needed anything, just call and the hotel kitchen would bring it up immediately. Next to the restaurant was a small bar that served a variety of cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits.
On the lower floor, the hotel also set up a 350-square-meter fitness center, which was fully equipped and even had a sauna, which could provide skin care, comfortable massage, and a health center to relax the body and mind.
After understanding the details of the hotel, Li Du could not help but sigh: The life of the rich is really cool!
The cost of a night's stay in the presidential suite at the Four Seasons Hotel was 8,000 Australian dollars, which was tens of thousands of yuan. If Li Du had to pay for it himself, he would be a little reluctant.
After arriving at the salon, he began to understand why the Harry Winston group went bankrupt. This kind of top luxury company had to spend too much money to maintain its reputation!
However, output was proportional to input. The more money spent, the more money they made.
This kind of salon would invite many rich people, celebrities, and senior officials from Oceania. They were not invited to play, but to pre-sell jewelry and luxury goods.
Anyone who came to the salon was prepared to buy something. It was like a promotion, but the specifications were higher and the benefits were higher.
The black opal that Li Du brought helped Cole, who could use this batch of black opal to create another gimmick. Not only would it make money, but it would also increase Harry Winston's reputation.
As usual, Li Du sold this batch of black opal to the Winston group at a price lower than the market price, and Cole transferred it in shares.
This batch of gemstones was equivalent to 0.8% of the shares. Li Du held more than 10% of the shares, and Cole's shares were reduced to less than 40%.
However, Cole could accept it because he was looking for a way to buy shares from small shareholders at a low price.
Like Li Du, he was also very optimistic about the development of his own group and began to deliberately buy back shares so that he could sell them at a good price in the future.
