Chapter 550: De Beers

"It's done." Early the next morning, Li Zitao learned from Dan that Stephen had called, and he replayed it curiously.

"Drug trafficking and hiding weighed 5 kilograms, enough for him to squat for more than ten years." Stephen also just arrived at the office and didn't go out.

"How do you prove that he was a drug dealer?" The judge wouldn't look at things without evidence, and asking him to say hello for such a thing seemed like a trivial matter.

"My men just caught a small gang. We made a deal last night. As long as they kill Bamber, I will have people take care of them in prison."

With a specialization in art, Stephen is familiar with doing this kind of thing, and there is nothing simpler than this.

A prison is like a small independent society, with many hills and gangs in it. It is not something everyone can do if they want to live safely in it.

Those goods originally belonged to the small gang that had just been arrested. 5 kilograms is a lot for the gangsters in the neighborhood. With witnesses, physical evidence, and on-site evidence, he is definitely in prison.

Get rid of Sanelle's troubles, and communicate with Stephen to make him think of Lincoln. I don't know how his arms are selling.

"Hans..." From Hans, I learned that Lincoln has done well in the past two months, and the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s munitions revenue exceeded one million for the first time.

Cuban warlords, Honduras, Haiti and other West Indies countries have all become his customers or potential customers.

Lincoln is also getting in touch with the Colombian rebels, and he has also sent people to Central Africa to contact local armed forces that hold mineral resources there.

Diamonds, in particular, could be traded directly, thanks to the 'star effect,' the royal family sought after jewelry and diamonds as symbols of wealth and status.

The aristocrats learned from others, and they should collect these beautiful stones, and the rich followed suit, and with all kinds of hype, the prices became higher and higher.

Speaking of diamonds, Li Zitao had to think of a name, De Beers.

It can be said that the value of diamonds and the civilianization of the entire industry are all created by this name.

It is they who weave a big net with beautiful "love" stories one after another.

Let this kind of glass beads, which were originally used by the royal family and the rich to show off their wealth, become expensive diamonds that everyone scrambles for and breaks their heads.

De Beers is a group company integrating diamond mining, rough sales, diamond cutting, diamond processing and diamond retailing.

They crazily promote the value of diamonds and create a rare and expensive look.

And the most exciting part is no less than they equate diamonds with love.

Diamond = beauty + eternity, love = beauty + eternity.

So, diamonds = love.

Well, her mother's powerful logic, Li Zitao's eyes were almost blinded when he saw this, "You are really talented."

According to this, in ancient times, people got married with a piece of meat, and they all divorced in the end?

There are also various publicity reports, the gentle and beautiful bride is wearing a white wedding dress, stretching out her slender fingers under the tender gaze of the groom, waiting for the arrival of 'love'.

Then everyone looked at the photo, digging grooves, it's so fucking flashy, it's so big.

At first, because of the low status of women, not many people bought them, but with the comparison of men, the sales of diamonds have been rising steadily.

Everyone went out to have dinner together, and when the wife stretched out her hand, she went blind.

Then when my wife stretched out her hand, she brought a low-handed gold and silver ring, all of which looked like those picked up on the side of the road, can this face be saved?

"I have more assets than you, how dare I show off my wealth, go, buy one bigger than him." The man ran to the diamond shop in a rage, ready to buy a bigger one, so as to blind the other party next time.

The next thing is the exciting part, when the man opened his mouth and said: "Give me the biggest one, the uncle has plenty of money".

The salesman looked at him sorry and said: "Sir, diamonds are very rare, and the annual production value is only a small part. Our current diamonds are all here.

If you want larger grams,

Just be patient. "

Does De Beers have diamonds? Of course there are, and there are many.

It is rumored that De Beers built a vault in London to store diamonds, which is comparable in size to a palace and filled with tens of thousands of precious diamonds.

The phrase 'Diamonds are forever, one piece lasts forever' is their advertisement.

90% of the diamond mine that Li Zitao has always wanted to buy is in the hands of De Beers, which was established in 1888 and is now a monopoly in the diamond industry.

"Can they use up so many diamonds?" Mary had heard about De Beers, but she didn't know much. She only learned about it after listening to him today.

"De Beers has more than 80 investment and promotion centers around the world, and cooperates with more than 100 diamond processing centers, sells diamonds to them, and then sells them to the brands that need them after processing, and then these brands make suitable diamond jewelry sold to consumers."

"Recently they are trying to prove that the value-added rate of diamonds is much higher than the inflation rate, and investing in diamonds can protect investors' assets from being eroded by inflation."

Mary nodded in surprise, and said with bright eyes, "It's a very smart way, it seems that I have to save more diamonds."

"Then you will definitely receive the most noble welcome." Li Zitao smiled helplessly. Even buying jewelry can find a high-sounding reason, and it was he who personally delivered it to the door.

"Is the club going to hold another party today?" Realizing that Dan was directing people to carry beer and seafood to the car, Mary brushed the ends of her hair and stepped forward to tidy up the collar of his shirt.

"Well, I haven't participated in it for a long time, and I will come back as soon as possible." Li Zitao has indeed not participated in group activities for a long time. The birth of his children and the changes in Washington kept his feet on the ground.

"Eric has a show tonight," Mary said calmly.

"Really?" Li Zitao looked at Eric who was eating at the table, thought for a while and nodded, "I'll be back after delivering the things."

He wanted to ask about Morena's situation, but West didn't call, so he didn't know what was going on at home.

...

...

In Club No. 22, Ben, who lives a nourishing life, is getting better and better recently. He looks full of vitality, as if he is several years younger.

Some time ago, everyone's focus was on national debt and Washington's loans, and there was little mention of other industries.

But it doesn't mean they have forgotten about the other industries under the think tank, especially aerospace, which has been fighting with Pan American Airlines.

The price war between the two airlines on the west coast has lasted for more than five months.

Seeing the aerospace company with a big business and a big business, showing a nonchalant performance, Pan American Airlines is becoming more and more restless.

The policy of the new Washington has also made the situation even more gloomy. If this continues, Pan Am may even be beaten back to its original shape.
