"News?"
Ye Qing had not paid attention to the news pushed on WeChat for some time. Now Kong Tao reminded Ye Qing that there was important news in it?
Most of the news on it was related to Monster Heavy Industries.
Seeing that Ye Qing seemed to have something to deal with, Professor Cai Chenning first said goodbye and said that the next time there was an experimental project, he would discuss this issue when he borrowed the laboratory of Monster Heavy Industries.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qing opened the news push on WeChat.
[A week after the collapse of the road, it opened to traffic and shocked the world. Hua Xia smiled and said nothing.]
[Another network fell down. Where should our information be stored?]
[In a newly excavated diamond mine in the west of Nigeria, a rare super-large high-quality raw diamond stone was found, which is estimated to be worth 300 million US dollars.]
It was really a sleepy person who sent a hot pillow, and a hungry delivery boy who sent a meal.
Ye Qing quickly found the key point and his heart beat faster.
In the news, this rough diamond was described as rare, extra-large, and of high quality. According to the past news practice, the size of this raw diamond stone might be bigger than a fist.
As for the estimate of 300 million, it was a relatively conscientious estimate.
Ye Qing looked at the news before and found that the last rare large blue diamond mined in Africa was actually valued at billions of US dollars.
What was the concept of one billion US dollars?
In the global GDP rankings last year, Guinea-Bissau, ranked 171st, had a yearly GDP of more than 900 million US dollars.
All the countries and regions ranked behind it had a smaller GDP than the previous one. If the princes of the oil countries came, they would be reluctant to spend one billion US dollars to buy a rare gem that had no value except for its beauty and use.
This one was valued at 300 million US dollars. Ye Qing pondered the final transaction price, which was 150 million US dollars at most, but it was definitely a conscientious estimate.
Recruiting the legendary hero Dian Jing required 200 grams of a natural diamond.
Ye Qing had just issued an order to the company manager today to seek diamonds of more than 200 grams from major jewelers around the world, and the news in the evening showed him the way.
But …
This diamond was actually produced in Nigeria, and Ye Qing knew this country quite well. Last month, the Master Metal Expert that was sent out had a one-man show over there.
After returning to the company, Ye Qing quickly summoned several managers and asked them about the progress of the diamond project.
Publicity Department Manager Yang Lily first made a report: "Boss, I have consulted with several well-known jewelers in the country. It's just that these domestic jewelers mostly focus on gold jewelry. "
"They don't make many diamonds. At present, the heaviest raw diamond is Zhou Dafu, but it also weighs more than 60 grams. I heard that it was custom-made by a rich man for a proposal."
The purchasing manager, Qiu Yi, replied, "I've consulted the branches of Cartier, Tiffany, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, and so on in Hua Xia."
"They said that a few decades ago, the royal family might have been willing to take over a diamond of more than 200 grams. Now, other than the jewelers, there were no customers at all. They once received raw stones of more than 200 grams, but they were all cut into pieces and polished into independent diamond jewelry. "
"At present, only the diamond mine in Nigeria, which produces this rare diamond, has not been acquired by jewelry companies. We can go and buy this raw stone."
The sales manager, Kong Tao, took out a brand new photo. On it was a transparent diamond of unknown size that looked like a large rock candy.
"I checked the source of the news. The earliest news was reported by a media outlet in Europe. The date of the discovery of the raw stone is uncertain. The origin is in a diamond mine in western Nigeria."
"The weight of the raw stone is 372 grams. According to past experience, they released news to the outside world to attract jewelers from all over the world."
"That is to say, the large pieces of raw diamond that have been mined in the past have been processed by jewelers. Only the current raw stone meets our requirements." Ye Qing pinched his eyebrows and pondered.
"First apply for foreign exchange. We are buying this diamond for industrial use. In the name of importing industrial raw materials, we will first exchange 300 million US dollars."
"I have information channels in Nigeria. I will first inquire about the specific situation of this diamond, and then let you arrange the itinerary."
"Boss, there is also a preliminary plan for the acquisition of mobile phone manufacturing plants." Kong Tao reported on another project: "In Shanghai, there are currently three mobile phone manufacturing plants that meet our requirements. Two are on the verge of bankruptcy and one can maintain profitability. Their products are mainly sold to less developed countries and are dominated by cheap smartphones. "
"These three factories belong to the kind that has no resistance to acquisition."
"Continue to follow up and make a detailed report on the scale of the factories of these three companies and their respective quotations in the shortest time possible."
After the meeting, Ye Qing returned to the office and kept pinching his eyebrows.
Africa is rich in diamonds, and the rare diamond in Nigeria is almost a charcoal in snowy weather for Ye Qing.
But dealing with this war-torn country...
"Everything is for the legendary hero." With a sigh, Ye Qing took out the phone and called Li Huaxing, chairman of Huaxing Heavy Industries.
Huaxing Heavy Industries has the mining rights to a copper mine in the Anut region of Nigeria. Now all the copper raw materials of Monster Heavy Industries are imported from there, and it is right to ask him about the diamond.
Just when the phone was connected, Ye Qing told Li Huaxing about the news that he wanted to buy diamonds.
The chairman, who always has a hearty smile on weekdays, has made a lot of money because of the copper mine in the Anut region in the face of increasingly fierce competition in the domestic machinery industry. After learning the news of Ye Qing, he unexpectedly fell into a sigh and silence, and it took a long time for him to speak.
"Brother Ye... It's just a diamond for industrial use. It doesn't need to cost so much. At present, synthetic diamonds can basically be satisfied."
"It's difficult for synthetic diamonds to exceed one carat in size. At present, we are studying a new laser-type equipment that needs diamonds to polish lenses." Ye Qing heard hesitation and embarrassment from his words and asked, "What's wrong, Chairman Li?"
"That diamond..."
"The news said it was produced in the west, more specifically, it was produced in the Anut region, in the diamond mine at the junction with the Nsukka region."
"Brother Ye, you should be no stranger to this place."
Li Huaxing's voice seemed to come from a distant place: "Because of this diamond mine, the rulers of the two regions almost fought with their dogs' brains. Even the people in our mining area are nervous. "
"Originally, the situation was clear. General Maups, the ruler of the Anut region, took over this mining area. But who knew that the diamond mine had only been mined for a few days, and such a hot thing was opened. "
"General Maups's news was not completely blocked. It is also possible that there is a mole in the diamond mine who leaked the news and let the Nsukka region get the news."
"A diamond worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, not to mention the idea of the Nsukka region for this diamond, but the whole western Nigeria, the big and small rulers, are all thinking about this diamond."
"General Maups can only keep his territory safe by selling this diamond as soon as possible. But now the whole Anut region is full of jealous military forces wandering around. "
"Yesterday, General Maups rented a helicopter and wanted to transport the raw stone away. As a result, before the helicopter flew into the Anut region, it was blown to pieces by more than a dozen Rocket bombs."
