"We are businessmen, legitimate dutiful businessmen."
Ye Qing glared at the Master Craftsman. "Do you understand?"
The Master Craftsman did not speak, but the meaning in his eyes clearly said, "We are clearly not dutiful businessmen."
"We are." Ye Qing emphasized again.
If they used force for the price fluctuations of some diamond ores.
Monster Industries might as well switch to mercenaries. Anyway, there was no international technology company that could fight.
"That high-quality diamond can't come out of the ground." The Master Craftsman found it very difficult to understand his boss's thinking. He only needed to send a team of giant laborers armed to the teeth to Europe to break open the doors of the underground vaults of those banks, and they could …
With such a cost-saving plan, why pay?
The lack of raw ore was indeed a big problem.
The core problem that troubled the production scale of holographic glasses was the difficulty of the mirror body manufacturing. If there was a mirror body, the remaining shell, battery, electronic sensor unit, and other electronic components would be left.
The factory only needed to be responsible for a few core components, and the rest could be contracted to the electronic component manufacturing factory.
"We can buy a batch of WS1-level raw ore from Europe for emergency purposes, but this is definitely not a long-term solution." Ye Qing raised his head and thought for a moment. "The industrial value of the diamond mine itself is just that. It is the group of international diamond merchants that made it into an industrial chain and firmly controlled it."
"If we want to break this industrial chain, it is tantamount to going against the jewelry merchants of the world."
"Let's not talk about whether it is necessary to go against them."
"The problem is that we can't make the production of high-quality raw diamonds come out. Because there are only so many raw diamond ores produced in Africa every year, and high-quality raw diamonds are even rarer. "
Everyone knew where the sales limit of holographic glasses was.
Now, nearly ten million holographic glasses had been sold, and the number of orders had reached tens of millions. But this thing would definitely become a necessary electronic product for everyone, like the mobile phone.
When the number of holographic glasses in Hua Xia reached a certain number, a large number of users would participate in the virtual world and build the virtual world into a mature commercial world.
Monster Industries would have to start developing the overseas market.
Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the sales of holographic glasses would be very high.
As for the factories, they had to increase their daily production capacity to at least a million to meet the demands of the consumers.
"Boss, I think my idea is very correct." The Master Craftsman's head still couldn't turn around. He still said, "We are extremely short of high-quality raw diamonds, and those European humans have a lot in their hands."
"If we don't target them, it's not like the ultra-high quality raw diamonds will automatically emerge from the ground …"
"…" Ye Qing was speechless.
"Wait!"
Ye Qing's expression suddenly froze. "You're saying that diamonds can't come out of the ground by themselves?"
"That's right. Boss, you've already said that there's only so much raw diamonds produced every year, and even fewer ultra-high quality raw diamonds. Don't rob those European humans … "
"You're wrong. It's impossible for diamonds to appear on their own."
"But we can increase its productivity through artificial methods." The words of the Master Craftsman made Ye Qing suddenly have a solution to the shortage of raw diamonds.
The reason was actually very simple!
There was a limited amount of raw diamond mines in Africa every year, and ultra-high quality raw diamonds were even rarer. That's because the raw diamond mining technology in Africa is too primitive.
On the other hand, because European jewelry businessmen who control the global diamond sales channels know how to unite, they have deliberately controlled the number of raw diamonds that emerge every year, with the idea of a small stream.
Things are precious when they are rare.
Once anything is overflowing, even if it is a diamond, it must honestly become a cabbage price.
When Ye Qing was in Nigeria, he went to see the diamond mine under General Maups. It was not so much a diamond mine as it was a huge mound.
The diamond mining technology there was extremely primitive. General Maups recruited a group of poor people who could bear hardships from the territory under his rule and put them in the mining area. Then these people used the most primitive manual screening method to put piles of mineral soil in water and rinse off the soil and gravel.
Then from the remaining gravel, they used their hands to screen out the sparkling diamonds inside.
Not only in Nigeria, it can be said that most diamond mines in Africa are mined in this way.
Mechanized operation, at most, is to dig diamond mines with some mechanical tools, such as several excavators.
If …
Take down the diamond mine and let Monster Industries mine it themselves?
There was a shortage of ultra-high quality raw diamonds, right? A complete set of diamond ore screening equipment was developed directly. Those workers took more than ten years to screen in the mining area. Monster Industries went up to large-scale mechanized operation and screened it in a month.
At that time, would there be any need to worry about high-grade raw diamonds?
It is true that workers are used to screen raw minerals by hand. On the one hand, the labor price there is extremely low.
On the other hand, the screening of raw diamond ores is indeed difficult to use industrial technology and large-scale operations.
Unlike metal ores like gold and silver, diamonds can be purified from minerals on a large scale by chemical methods.
It is the hardest object in the world, has indestructible properties, and is a non-metal object.
To solve the screening problem on a large scale, it is necessary to ensure that mechanical equipment can accurately distinguish what is a diamond, what is a gravel, or other extremely hard gemstone ores from countless tons of mineral soil.
The volume and purity of a diamond determine its value.
A diamond the size of a grain of rice is not as valuable as gold of the same volume in Africa.
For the exploited African mine owners, mining these small diamond fragments was just a way to earn some hard-earned money.
What really made them bite on the mine like sharks were the large raw diamonds that could possibly exist in the mine.
The value of a pigeon egg-sized raw diamond can instantly exceed the value of gold of the same size by dozens of times.
If it is bigger, it is possible to earn the value of the entire mining area as long as one of them.
This kind of gamble, the operation of turning a bicycle into a luxury commercial aircraft, makes the mine owners dare to use mechanical screening methods.
If they miss one, they are afraid that they will have the heart to hang themselves.
Therefore, it seems that there is no way to solve the production capacity problem without robbing the inventory of the European jewelry merchants.
Just change the plan and it can be completely solved.
Monster Industries' large-scale mechanized equipment is stationed in the diamond mining area and plows the entire mining area 300 feet in a very short time.
As for whether this will drain the pond to catch fish, it will cause the European jewelry merchants to lose a lot of their supply.
Ye Qing said that this has nothing to do with him.
Besides, Monster Industries only needs those ultra-high-grade raw diamonds, and the remaining low-grade raw diamonds can still be sold to them.
"Haha ~ That's it." Ye Qing was gratified by his wisdom and laughed and patted the Master Craftsman on the shoulder.
"It's not too late. After the first movie is released tonight, you and I will go to Nigeria to inspect the diamond mines there."
