Nine Hundred and Twentieth Eight: Hold Your Nose and Go
The old lady didn't hear any unusual meaning when she heard David's words, she smiled: "Isn't it usually settled at the end of the year? I have heard that the cooperation accounts between your company and our group have always been very reputable. Although we have changed shareholders, it does not affect the normal operation between the two companies, and we will still need to rely on your company's diamond supply in the future."
In the past, Lin Guiren made gold, silver, and jewelry. Later, when Xucheng's diamond raw materials were provided, he began to adopt high-end diamond craftsmanship, which brought the company to a higher level, and only then did the market value rise steadily.
From the point of view that the West does not know how to appreciate the value of jewelry, if you want to enter the West, you really need the source of diamonds to increase the demand and sales in the Western market.
Obviously, there has been a chemical reaction of dependence on this area within the group, and diamond products have become the company's main product.
Therefore, the old lady really needs to be courteous to David.
"The reason why I settled the money is because I changed shareholders!" David said bluntly: "The accounts were loose before, and mutual credit was settled only once a year, because I trusted the previous chairman, but it was not someone It can make me rest assured that the accounts can go freely, so please settle the payment for the last quarter. In addition, I came today to tell the old lady that we will not provide diamonds from the land of mercenaries to your group in the future. raw material."
"What, what?" The old lady thought she heard it wrong.
Let alone her, even Tevez was surprised when he heard it.
Play like this to play big.
"No, Mr. David, in business, you can't be impulsive, right? We didn't say that we won't give you money, and you can settle it quarterly in the future, but what does it mean that you won't supply the group in the future?" the old man People are confused.
"It means that our cooperation has stopped." David confessed.
Tevez was in a hurry: "Mr. David, this is a business with Lin Guiren, and it is also a business with us. It's very good, why don't you supply it? He's reneging on your debt, we won't delay the debt, there is no reason to terminate it properly What about cooperation? Don’t you all help each other? Our annual sales can mostly absorb the supply you purchase from the mercenary land. If you want to stop cooperating with us all at once, will your inventory be backlogged?”
"Inventory overstock?" David sneered and looked down on Tevez: "Who in this world doesn't want to fill up their warehouse with more and more diamonds? This is not a consumer product. Once it fails to sell, its market value will skyrocket, sir. , do you understand it?"
Tevez smiled awkwardly.
"Besides, am I afraid that I won't be able to sell it? The reason why diamonds are expensive is because they are scarce, and the annual shipments are limited. Not to mention the top diamonds in South Africa and ours, even ordinary diamonds are in short supply and there is a market. People can be ignorant. But don't come out and make a fool of yourself, okay?" David sneered at Tevez.
Tevez was extremely embarrassed, although he was annoyed, but it was not easy to turn his face, let alone him now, the old lady also asked for someone.
If the supply is cut off at this time, where can I find it in a short time? Then the sales of this quarter will be affected, and in this world, diamonds from South Africa and the land of mercenaries are famous top raw materials. South Africa has been contracted by other companies early, and they have no shortage of your supply. Otherwise, Lin Guiren would not have only made jewelry, gold and silver back then, because there really was no supply channel for diamonds, not because he didn't want to do it.
If it weren't for the supply of diamonds from the mercenary land provided by Xu Cheng, Lin Guiren's company might not have achieved a market value of more than nine billion pounds, which was equivalent to more than ten billion U.S. dollars. At that time, his company's market value was only more than five billion U.S. dollars , one can imagine how much the diamond products and sales have increased the market value of his company.
The old lady and Tevez believed that the gold and silver business could not be lost and the diamond business could not be lost.
But whatever you are afraid of, it is obvious that there is no room for negotiation when David comes this time.
The old lady squeezed out an ugly smile that was as wrinkled as an old orange peel, looked at David and said, "If it's a matter of the supply price, we can discuss it again, and the supply price can be increased by 5 points as a whole." ,How about it?"
David asked the crowd: "Can I smoke?"
"Anything." If it is normal, you must not be happy, after all, it is a conference room, it is better to be serious.
But now, Tevez and the old lady laughed together.
After David lit a cigar, he looked at the four small shareholders and said kindly: "If you want to sell your equity, it's still too late. Once the news of my termination of diamond raw material supply gets out, the market value of this group will be at least It will evaporate by 20%!"
The faces of the old lady and Tevez changed drastically.
Especially the old lady, if 20% of the market value evaporates, it means that she will lose 800 million pounds for no reason! This is just a guarantee assessment. If the company can't find the source of goods and drops back to the previous market value of 5 billion US dollars, then she will lose nearly 2 billion pounds! What will I use to pay back the money? Not to mention 20 years, 30 years may not be able to pay back, because without the profit point of diamonds, the future profit compression will be even lower.
Tevez is not much better. He took out 3 billion from his family and just invested 2.2 billion. If the market value evaporates, he will be ridiculed by other competitors in the family. If this investment fails, he will be in doom, because the family Giving him three billion is one-fifth of the income and expenditure of the entire family.
"Mr. David, you really know how to joke." Tevez smiled uglier than crying.
The old lady also said: "If there is any misunderstanding, we can talk about it. We are all sitting here. The two companies have cooperated for quite a long time. It is not kind of you to do this."
"Not for sale, right?" David ignored Tevez and the old lady, but looked at the four small shareholders and said, "Don't say I didn't remind you, an hour later, when I walk out of this conference room, I will immediately Someone will be responsible for telling the securities company the news, you just wait to lose money."
The old lady and Tevez were in a hurry.
"Mr. David, if we have something to say, we can talk about it. Why are you doing this?" Tevez stood up and looked at David sincerely.
The four small shareholders had already taken out their mobile phones to call their lawyers.
The old lady is in a hurry.
Just saying that they are not afraid of the equity in the four of them's hands was to scare them, but at this juncture, the newly changed major shareholders were purged, and the four original small shareholders left immediately. That is to say, the entire original group team has left, the major shareholder and the second shareholder have been replaced, and then the remaining small shareholders have also sold their shares and left. This is somewhat surprising and conspiratorial.
At this time, speculators in the stock market will analyze: the group that Lin Guiren brought up has suddenly let go, does it mean that he is no longer optimistic about the prospects of this industry and is looking for another job?
And all the original shareholders have been replaced, does it mean that there is turmoil in the company?
Those scattered people are very sensitive, as long as there is a slight personnel change in a company, it will affect the stock, not to mention that all the shareholders of the original structure are replaced, which is too weird.
