Chapter 352 It takes no effort to get it
ps: Thank you, Zhu Zhu, Wandai, Huang Shang, Xingyu, and Longda for your rewards. Thank you, Longda’s monthly ticket and the full score evaluation of the God of Wealth. If you don’t have any authors who support you, just vote on Weiguo’s head. Although you have no competitiveness, haha, there is a small problem of face... Remember, it’s the author, not the work, and the work will definitely be unsuccessful. It’s stored there! Thank you!
Rio Tinto's office is in the city. The diamond rough produced in the mines are generally not sold to the public, but are uniformly transported to one of the four largest diamond processing sites in the world. After grinding and cutting, most of them are sold directly in Europe. The headquarters is only a small part, used to supply domestic or Asian customers.
The one who received Wu Di and the others was a tall, thick-bearded middle-aged man, Martindale White, who was an ordinary sales manager. After seeing Wu Di and the others, he was kind and polite and arrogance without deliberately hiding. Perhaps this is the culture of a large company, or perhaps it was targeted at them. Even Meng Yao, who was a little slow, felt this.
In fact, White was also a little aggrieved. His sales task this quarter has not been completed, but the company's newly allocated resources to him was actually a company that mainly sells jade jewelry, which made him even more annoyed.
"Okay, for the sake of Green Light, I'll just reluctantly meet you. I hope you didn't come here to visit. But if you only purchase hundreds of thousands of dollars in broken diamonds, it's better not to do it. This will only allow those guys waiting to watch jokes to find more reasons to attack..."
White casually glanced at Wu Di's business card with only his name and phone number, put it in his notebook and said a few simple words, then took them to the sample room.
The diamonds in the sample chamber are divided into three pieces according to the origin. The diamonds produced in the Argyle Mine, Molin Mine and some small mines are placed in glass display cabinets in size and colors according to their size and colors, but no more than one carat is seen.
"Mr. Wu, the diamonds here are mainly less than one carat, and each sample is accompanied by a detailed description. Some are processed in Antwerp, and some are processed in China. The prices of diamonds produced in each mine are different, but the differences are not very big under the same grade. After you are optimistic, you can check the inventory of this type of diamond at any time. This is Andre, a marketing staff member of our company. If you have any needs, you can communicate with him directly. I have a meeting to hold, sorry."
White hurriedly left as if he had completed his routine and handed them over to a thin, yellow-haired young man waiting in the sample room.
Andre is a very talkative young man. When he saw Wu Di paying attention to the diamonds produced in small mining areas, he smiled and said:
"The diamonds in these small mining areas are of uneven quality, but the ones that can be sold through our company are all selected by experts, so you can definitely rest assured about the quality. By the way, Mr. Wu is from China, right? There is a batch of goods here, which are produced in the mines you immigrated to China. The quality is pretty good, so you can pay attention to it."
Wu Di's heart moved. Could this immigrant be the Liu Yuhang they were looking for?
"There are people from our country who are mining here? I have always wanted to own my own diamond mine, but I don't know how to operate it. If I have the chance, I have to ask him for advice."
Andre smiled as he placed the sample on the table:
"This is a coincidence. Victor Liu's mine just wants to take action. If you are interested, you can talk to him. His mine is located along the McQuarry River in New South Wales. It is a secondary alluvial diamond mine. Although the output is not very large, the quality is pretty good. The gem-grade one can reach more than 15%.
"Victor Liu?"
"Yes, Victor Liu, my good friend. If Mr. Wu is interesting, I can help you contact him. Sorry, I shouldn't say this during working hours. Do you have anything else to see?"
Wu Di smiled slightly, Victor Liu? Well, let’s complete Hu Zili’s task first.
"Well, I also want to purchase a batch of white diamonds and colored diamonds of more than one carat. I don't seem to see them here... Mr. Andre, I don't know if I can have this honor. I want to invite you to lunch later."
Andrey smiled and said:
"Thank you, no need. Mr. Wu, please come with me, the bigger diamonds are here..."
He whispered as he walked out:
"My phone number is on the business card. If you need it, you can contact me at any time."
Wu Di was invited into a secret room by Andre, and Wen Lan and others were left in the reception room. According to Hu Zili's plan, the purchase volume this time should be around 2 million US dollars, which can probably cope with the sales of Lan Meng in the second half of the year. However, after looking at the price and quality, Wu Di decided to buy as much as possible. Anyway, he still has a lot of cash and diamond prices, especially those above one carat, fluctuate at any time, but the overall trend is continuing to rise, and buying more this time is an investment.
He calculated the number of stores in Lan Meng at present and felt that more than one carat of diamonds would require at least one thousand pieces to cope with sales in the next two years. Moreover, if he could get a large number of colored diamonds, it would be of great help to Lan Meng, who had just entered this market.
"Sorry, Mr. Wu, you should know that even for us, colored diamonds are very precious, so you can only give a certain proportion according to the purchase volume. Please understand this..."
After getting Wu Di's procurement catalog, White's face showed a smile, ten million dollars? This amount would probably make colleagues waiting to see him jokes stuff their hands into their assholes to block their unpleasant screams.
"Fifth brother, it seems a little strange."
As soon as he left Rio Tinto, Doctor raised his own questions.
"Oh? Are you talking about Andre?"
"That's right. As a salesperson of Rio Tinto, I don't think he will push the diamonds from other mines, and he will tell us the origin clearly. If there is no accident, I think the Victor Liu he mentioned should be the Victor Liu we are looking for. He just ran into it on his own initiative. I'm worried that there might be something hidden behind this matter that we don't know. We should be in trouble."
"There may be a little problem, but it is not certain. The communication between the military advisor and the investigation company has just ended. Even if someone is eyeing us, we will probably wait and see again, and should not take action so quickly. In addition, Andre's actions reminded me of some domestic sales staff. Do you think he would take on these small miners and sell their products to customers if he has the opportunity?"
Meng Yao took it and said:
"There is a possibility. I decided to see him at night anyway. Wouldn't you just ask me directly?"
Wen Lan also said:
"Anyway, we are looking for Liu Yuhang. No matter what the situation is, we have to find him. Are there any other choices?"
Wu Di smiled,
"Then let's talk about it until we meet you in the evening. Anyway, I don't feel anything bad."
After meeting Andre, Wu Di got Victor Liu's contact number and learned that the mining farm he wanted to transfer was only half a year before Liu Yuhang left the mining company where he worked. Now he basically confirmed that Victor Liu was Liu Yuhang. Moreover, Wu Di judged from Andre's expression and actions that no one should be instructing him behind his back, and it was purely a move to catch water.
Just after returning to the hotel, Wu Di received a call from Victor Liu, which was a slightly stiff voice in Chinese.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, I am Victor Liu, the owner of McColin Diamond Mine. I just received a call from Andre. I know you are interested in investing in a diamond mine in Australia, and I think we can talk about it."
"Haha, hello, Mr. Liu. I do intend to invest in a mine here. I will go to Sydney tomorrow. I wonder if it is convenient for you. Is it okay for us to meet you then?"
"That's great. My company happens to be in Sydney. If you are convenient, please remember the address, or tell me the hotel you are staying at. I'll pick you up..."
After making an appointment with Victor Liu to meet at his company tomorrow afternoon, Wu Di hung up the phone and said:
"I took the initiative to find him. I think he is the one we are looking for. Andre should have no problem with him. If we can negotiate this business, I think he might get a lot of rewards from Liu."
"Come here on his own initiative? Adid, if we follow our guess, this Victor Liu should have avoided us, because after all, we are going to recover things from him! Or, he is the person we are looking for, but the things we are looking for are not in his hands."
Wu Di looked at Meng Yao in surprise. How could you actually have such a clear idea?
"Adi, what are we looking for this time? Is it very important? If there is any danger, I would rather..."
Wen Lan said worriedly.
"What I came here to look for this time is indeed very important. If it is not important, it is just a slightly special antique. What I will tell you below is an S-level secret. If you don't want to hear it, it is raised by a hand..."
Meng Yao gave him a blank look.
"Okay, I know that you have a high status and are a big shot. You can get into S-level secrets..."
Wu Di said with a stern face:
"This time it's true. Do you know the imperial seal? It's the version of Heshi Bi, the piece of gold-inlaid jade. From the end of the Yuan Dynasty..."
It took him more than ten minutes to explain the whole story of the matter, and then said seriously:
"After you arrive in Sydney tomorrow, you three don't leave the airport. Take the diamonds you purchased this time and fly directly to Beijing. Just leave the matter here to me and the military advisor. Don't worry, there will be no danger, at most you can't get the things."
The two girls were dissatisfied with him for a while, but in the end he was dealt with with joy, and obediently agreed to go back to work.
Wu Di sat leaning against the head of the bed, looking at the sleeping faces of the two women, and lit a cigarette.
Chapter completed!
