Chapter 399: Something Ho (2/2)
Sales manager Kong Tao took out a brand-new photo of a transparent diamond whose size is invisible and looks like large rock candy: ”I checked the source. The earliest news was from a media outlet in Europe. The date of discovery of the rough was uncertain, and the origin was in a diamond mine in western Nigeria. The raw stone weighs 372 grams. According to their previous experience, they released news to the outside world just to attract jewelers around the world.”
Ye Qing pinched his brow and thought: ”That is to say, the large rough diamonds mined in the past have been processed by the jewelers, and only this rough stone currently meets our requirements.”
”Apply for foreign currency exchange first. We will buy this diamond for industrial purposes. First, we will exchange 300 million US dollars in the name of imported industrial raw materials. There is a source of information over Nigeria. I will first find out the specifics of this diamond, and then let you arrange the itinerary.”
”Boss, there is also a preliminary plan for the acquisition of a mobile phone manufacturing plant.” Kong Tao reported on another project: ”There are currently three mobile phone manufacturing plants that meet our requirements over Shanghai. Two are on the verge of bankruptcy and one can remain profitable, their products are mainly sold to underdeveloped countries and mainly rely on cheap smartphones. These three factories belong to the kind that has no resistance to acquisition. To continue to follow up, we must make a detailed report on the scale of the three companies and their respective quotations in the shortest time.”
After the meeting, Ye Qing returned to the office and kept squeezing his brows. Africa is rich in diamonds; the rare diamond was in Nigeria. For Ye Qing, it was only charcoal in the snow. But dealing with this war-torn country...
”All this is for the legendary monster.” Sighing, Ye Qing took out the phone and called Li Huaxing, chairman of China Heavy Industries.
China Heavy Industry had the right to mine a copper mine in Anute in the district Nyaja. Now the copper raw materials of the Monster Heavy Industry are all imported from there, and it is possible to ask him to inquire about the diamond. It was just a phone call, and Ye Qing told Li Huaxing that he wanted to buy diamonds.
This is always with a bright smile on weekdays Li Huaxing received Ye Qing's call because of the increasingly fierce competition in the domestic machinery industry and because of the copper mines in the Anute region, the chairman is making a lot of money. After learning of Ye Qing's news, he fell into a sigh and silence unexpectedly, and it took a long time to speak.
”Brother Ye... It's just diamonds for industrial purposes. It doesn't cost so much. At present, synthetic diamonds are basically satisfactory.”
From his words, Ye Qing heard hesitation and embarrassment and said: ”It is difficult for a man-made diamond to exceed one carat. At present, we are working on a new laser-like device that requires diamonds to polish the lens.” After that, he asked: ”what's the matter, Chairman Li?”
”The diamond...”
”The news directly stated that it was found in the west, and more specifically, it was found in the diamond mine at the border of the Nyaja district and the Nsuka district. Brother Ye, you should be familiar with this place.”
Li Huaxing's voice seemed to come from afar: ”Because of this diamond mine, the powers of the two regions almost hit the dog's brain. Even our mine area is nervous. It was already clear that General Mopu, who was in power in the Nyaja district, took control of the mining area. But who knows that just a few days after the diamond mine was excavated, such a hot thing came out. General Mopu's news was not blocked completely, maybe there might have been a ghost inside the diamond mine that leaked the news so that the Nsuka district got the news.”
”This diamond is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention the idea of finding this diamond in the Nsuka destrict, but the whole of western Nigeria, large and small authorities, want to own this diamond. General Mopu cannot keep this diamond safe on his territory until he has released the diamond as soon as possible, but now the entire Anut area is surrounded by red-eyed military forces. Mopu hired a helicopter to move the original stone. Before the helicopter landed in the Anut area, it was shattered to pieces by more than ten rockets. ”
