Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 223 Win-win

Fang Mingyuan looked at Zheng Yutong strangely. As far as he knew, the source of diamonds for Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop should be from De Beers United Mining Company. Now he asked about ALROSA, could it be De Beers United Mining Company?

Are there any problems with the company's cooperation with Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Goldsmiths?

Zheng Yutong sighed softly and said: "It's not the Middle East market that's making a fuss!" It turns out that as Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold entered the Middle East market, it achieved explosive growth in performance in a short period of time, which undoubtedly caused a stir.

This has aroused the dissatisfaction of the European and American companies that originally occupied the Middle East market. On the one hand, these companies are blocking Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Co., Ltd. in the Middle East market. On the other hand, they are pulling out the firewood, putting pressure on De Beers United Mining Company and suppressing Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Co., Ltd.

The number of rough diamonds that can be obtained each year.

In particular, as the advertising slogan "A diamond lasts forever, a diamond lasts forever" has been vigorously promoted by the International Diamond Promotion Center, more and more people in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia are choosing diamond rings for their wedding rings. Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold

During this period of time, the demand for diamonds increased significantly. This move made Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Goldsmiths immediately miserable. The shortage of raw materials seriously restricted its development.

It is not that Zheng Yutong has not negotiated with De Beers United Mining Company, but De Beers United Mining Company has nothing to do about it. After all, how can Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Goldsmiths compete with several world-renowned old jewelry companies?

compared to.

In desperation, Zheng Yutong had to turn his attention to other diamond supply companies in the world - Russia's ALROSA Company.

It was at this time that he suddenly remembered that Mr. Guo once mentioned that Fang Mingyuan had some connections in Russia, and some of the Fang family's industries were also involved in the Russian market.

So when he came this time, he also wanted to ask if Fang Mingyuan had any connections at ALROSA.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. De Beers United Mining Company's move was something he had never thought of before.

"Grandpa Zheng, President Nikolasky of ALROSA Company and I are old acquaintances. We had contacts before the Soviet Union was disintegrated. If you want to buy rough diamonds from ALROSA Company, there should be no problem!"

Fang Mingyuan thought for a while and said, "However, if you urgently need to solve the problem of insufficient sources of raw materials, then I have a batch of rough diamonds in my hands and can provide them to you first."

"That's great!" Zheng Yutong grabbed Fang Mingyuan's hand and said with joy.

This was good news that was unexpected by Zheng Yutong. Originally, he thought that as long as Fang Mingyuan could set up a line between himself and the senior management of ALROSA Company, he would have a clear understanding of ALROSA Company's operating status.

With a good understanding, negotiations can be carried out in a targeted manner. Who would have thought that Fang Mingyuan is an old acquaintance with President Nikolaski of ALROSA, and judging from his tone, I am afraid that the relationship between the two is extraordinary!

What makes Zheng Yutong even more unbelievable is that Fang Mingyuan actually said that he now has a batch of rough diamonds in his hands. He has never heard that one of the industries under the Fang family's name is involved in the jewelry industry.

However, this is the best news for the Zheng family. After all, it will take a lot of time to negotiate with ALROSA to purchase rough diamonds, and will ALROSA be affected by the alliance with De Beers?

The attitude of mining companies is also to control sales of Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold.

"Mingyuan, how many rough diamonds do you have in your hand?" Zheng Yutong asked again and again after being ecstatic.

"Well, before the Soviet Union disintegrated, I went to the Soviet Union to inspect the investment environment. By chance, I met Nikolasky, who was then the general manager of ALROSA's Yakut Republic branch. From him, I learned that ALROSA

At that time, the Sa Company had a large number of rough diamonds in stock and was interested in selling them externally to make up for the shortfall in the company's books. Later, I felt that diamonds would definitely occupy an important place in the future luxury market, so I decided to buy them." Fang Mingyuan

As he walked, he said casually, "It's not a lot. I probably spent more than four billion rubles, and later I bought a lot more one after another. I can't remember the total amount."

Zheng Yutong was already pointing at Fang Mingyuan in shock and was speechless!

More than four billion rubles! Of course Zheng Yutong would not think that it was the ruble after the great devaluation, so it was the ruble before the devaluation. Zheng Yutong did not know the specific exchange rate of the ruble to the US dollar at that time, but he did know,

This transaction, if converted into U.S. dollars, would definitely cost hundreds of millions!

He bought hundreds of millions of dollars worth of rough diamonds in one go! Such a bold move made Zheng Yutong, who has been in shopping malls for a long time and has seen countless large transactions, unable to help but be heartbroken!

"Huh..." Zheng Yutong let out a long breath and said, "Mingyuan, how about adding a 10% discount on the market price and selling a batch to my family?"

Fang Mingyuan shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zheng, you are making a fool of yourself! I bought this batch of rough diamonds early, and because ALROSA was eager to obtain cash, I bought a large amount.

, so it was basically sold at a 50% discount on the market price at that time. In the past few years, the selling price of rough diamonds has been rising, and the profit can be said to be very generous. Well, if you want it, just follow the market price

15% off the price will be transferred to you!”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course I want it!" Zheng Yutong said repeatedly. A few years ago, the rough diamonds were worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, they are almost enough to meet the needs of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Goldsmiths for several years. In addition,

Last week, Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold received diamond roughs from De Beers United Mining Company. Even with Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold's expansion in the inland market, I believe that in the short term, there will be no need to worry about insufficient diamond sources. As long as we can survive this period

After a difficult period of time, I believe the company can reach an agreement with ALROSA and obtain a stable source of rough diamonds. By then, it will not be afraid that De Beers United Mining Company will get stuck in its neck again!

After solving the problems that had been plaguing Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop recently, Zheng Yutong felt that his body was lighter by three points, and his mood was indescribably comfortable. At the same time, when he looked at Fang Mingyuan, there was even more in his eyes.

Some appreciation.

More than 4 billion rubles of rough diamonds were purchased at a 50% discount from the market price at that time. Now, even if they are sold to themselves at a 15% discount from the market price, the profit is enough to double the amount of funds several times.

If Zheng Yutong knew that the more than 4 billion rubles at that time were loans from the State Bank of the Soviet Union, then when Aso Xiangyue repaid the loan, she only paid a few million US dollars. Only

From this one item, Fang Mingyuan's profit was more than a hundred times!
