Chapter 1439 Alrosa
Chapter 1439 Alrosa
Li Cong himself didn't know where he offended the beautiful lady in front of him. Why did he look so unfriendly when he came here, as if he hadn't said a word to her, and he also I didn't look at you with that kind of obsessive eyes. You look very beautiful, but there is no need to be so confident. I am not one of those first-time brothers who have never seen beautiful women. Are you a veteran? You have seen quite a few like this, and I don’t know the origin of this girl. What I need is a miner, a very strong miner. Although mining is now mechanized, if I don’t have a strong body It's not easy to survive in that kind of place, let alone such a chick. m
"Mr. Li, this is my daughter Aflora. I don't know much about these things, so I want to ask my daughter to come back and watch for me. Is there any problem? Can you show my daughter the contract Is it?" Just when Li Cong was wondering, Sharapova came over and introduced to Li Cong, in fact, if Sharapova was not in this place, and in some affluent places outside, she could afford those expensive cosmetics with her ability. Standing together with her daughter is definitely a pair of sisters, not the one in front of her, who looks so old.
"No problem, you should find someone who understands it. This is all the information of our company. You can read it." Li Cong motioned to Karelina to hand over the information to this woman. In fact, the beautiful woman has arrived. Together, they will become natural enemies, just like the two women in front of them. Standing between them, Li Cong felt an unusual electric current coming from them. Sometimes he really felt very puzzled, why the two beautiful women Women can't be friends, why is the smell of gunpowder so strong when meeting? Karelina is not optimistic about what this girl can understand. She just learned from Sharapova that this girl is studying piano in Moscow, and that thing has nothing to do with our contract.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, damn it, let's get out of the way, are you looking for death?" Just when Aflora wanted to read the contract, a discordant voice came, and Li never knew who it was without looking. Now the only person who can have such a temper in this small town is the Roy I met yesterday. This guy just found 800 miners for Li Cong. We just need to do it, but he can see that Li Cong is a big client, so he has to do it himself, and he has to do it well, so that he won't have to worry about food in the future. It's very clear, as for his confused subordinates, he doesn't have the energy to explain, now time is money.
"Hehe, Mr. Li is really sorry. I'm late. It's all caused by these damned guys. Otherwise, I must have come here long ago. These damned guys are not willing to come to Mr. Li's life. I also I can only help them, hehe, Mr. Li, I have brought the list of 800 people, as long as you want, you can take them away immediately." This guy said that the 800 people are all like him Like everyone in the family, Li Cong still needs him right now, otherwise I really don't want to say a word to this guy, "My God,
who is this? Isn't this the most beautiful Aflora here, why didn't she hide in Moscow and came back? How about I treat you to dinner tonight? Uncle hasn't seen you for several years, and you are really getting better and better. How can we say that the friendship between our two families is very good. If you have time, you want to come and sit with me. "Although this guy says he's an uncle, he doesn't look like an uncle at all. Now that lecherous eyes want to be eaten by others, where is there such an uncle?
Li Cong saw that Aflora seemed to be very afraid of this guy, turned around and stood in front of this guy, "Roy, you have done a very good job, this is 20,000 yuan, as your hard work for a while, You call them here right now, and then you are responsible for maintaining law and order, and I can say the rest, and I will express it when it is done." Although the beauty in front of me is good, and she is very It's not bad, but it can't be the same as the 20,000 yuan in his hand. Although Li Cong also gave 20,000 yuan yesterday, isn't it free to do things to support younger brothers? If there are not so many younger brothers It is impossible to kill yourself to get 800 people just like this. This guy is very clear about this. The 20,000 given last time has basically been distributed, and the 20,000 given this time are all his own. He immediately agreed and yelled for his men to go down and pull out those hundreds of people. Moreover, this guy had a pistol on his waist for threats. It seems that he must be quite old. It still needs to be said twice, but it seems that there is no problem in deterring those miners. He was able to pull those 800 people with this broken gun, which is also a lot of credit.
"The First Diamond Group? Mr. Li, excuse me, why is this the first time I have heard the name of this group? You guys forged these things, right?" This little girl really didn't give Li Cong face. I just rescued you just now and you immediately said that our diamond group is a forgery. Is it so difficult to trust yourself? It seems that she has seen what Li Cong is thinking. This contract is too important. I grew up here, and I have never seen a boss like you, two thousand dollars a month? There are five insurances, which add up to a bonus of three thousand dollars. How is this possible? What? I absolutely don’t believe there is such a thing. In the past, there was no insurance at all, and it was more than a thousand dollars a month at most, and it was still in winter.” The girl said excitedly, because there was really no insurance. People can give such conditions, is this talking with God again? Only the old man can be so kind. Outside of the old man, there can be no capitalists who don’t want money in this world. If there are, then this person must have ulterior motives. To be honest, she hopes that Li Cong It is easier for her to believe it after issuing a contract from those previous bosses.
"Hehe, you can see for yourself whether it is true or not. I also said that I can pay everyone's salary for five months in advance. Didn't you see it? And you can directly call the Russian business The Ministry went to ask me if I had registered this company, and I tell you, my number one diamond is named number one, and he will definitely be the largest diamond company in Russia in the near future." Li Cong said confidently, It seems to others that you haven't worked yet, you have paid five months' salary here, isn't this nonsense, what if those people take the money and don't work for you?
Li Cong had thought of this a long time ago. He has been in this town for two days. The lives of people here are poor and difficult. As long as he can give them a stable job, they will definitely live up to his good intentions. Yes, after all, they also know that such an opportunity is very difficult. They also know that diamonds are becoming less and less, and their craftsmanship is becoming less and less valuable, and they have never met such a good boss. Under such conditions, it is estimated that no one is willing to let go of the hope that can change one's life.
"Even if what you said is right, now your troubles are coming, look behind you, that is the convoy, Alrosa's convoy, they will not allow you to take away so many miners... "Before Li Cong finished speaking, this girl and some other people started running around in a panic, as if they saw something terrible. In desperation, Aflora gave her a little girl. Li Cong was just right for her She was supported, Li Cong swears to God at this time, he absolutely didn't mean to take advantage of her, but when he did it, something seemed wrong, and he touched a pair of rabbits on her chest, but fortunately Afro La also knew that the situation just now was not something that Li Cong could consider, so he didn't blame this guy. After standing still, he still wanted to escape. Those people seemed like devils.
"Just stand next to me. No one in this world can hurt you. What is Elosa?" Karelina quickly handed over her tablet as he asked, and Afro La looked at this scene miraculously, this is impossible, how can there be a network here, the global communication is not available here, there is no so-called mobile phone here, all of them are landlines, this guy's laptop is here You can also access the Internet, is it through satellite? This person has his own private satellite, otherwise the signals of those operators would not be able to reach here, which is blocked by conquest.
ALROSA is controlled by the Russian Federation and local governments. It has more than 160,000 employees in more than 20 countries. The scope of diamond mining covers Namibia, Canada, South Africa, Botswana, and Great Russia. It is the world's largest exploration, mining, and sales gross The rough diamond company provides 60% of the rough diamonds and 40% of the gem-quality diamonds in the world market. Recently, they also have a big project with Rio Tinto Group in Russia, and they are considered competitors with Li Cong.
At a time when the global diamond industry faces growing demand and tight supplies, Rio Tinto ( ) is planning to enter Russia's diamond mining industry, hoping to form an alliance with Russian state-owned miner ALROSA (sa). According to sources familiar with the diamond market, Rio Tinto is believed to be one of the final contenders for an alliance with ALROSA to develop a large diamond deposit near the northern port of Arkhangel in Russia, but recently according to sources from energy groups , they have reached an agreement.
It has been widely reported that Rio Tinto's chief executive, Malbanese, has visited Russia frequently over the past year, where Rio Tinto has no operations. Rio Tinto declined to comment on the reports or the company's intentions. Rio Tinto makes much of its profits from iron ore, but the company is also a major diamond miner, producing 13.8 million carats last year. In comparison, De Beers produced 33 million carats and ALROSA produced 34.3 million carats. This is the second year that ALROSA has surpassed De Beers in output.
Rio Tinto's interest is believed to be centered on the Lomonosov(v) mine, which has estimated reserves of 128 million carats. Das Lalea, an analyst at Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets (tal markets), revealed: "Many companies have considered this mine.
“De Beers and others have thought about it because ALROSA has made it clear that they want to have a joint venture there. (ALROSA wants to establish a joint venture) because they need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on other deposits. billions of dollars.”
Rio Tinto continues to show confidence in the future of the diamond industry. The company is mining new mines in India, expanding its flagship mine in Australia and exploring for new diamond deposits in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. One wants to seek external support, the other wants to expand itself, and has its own figure on the territory of Great Russia, so the two sides hit it off, and with their suggestions, ALROSA has the idea of going public.
According to the British "Financial Times" report, Russia's ALROSA (sa), the world's second largest diamond producer, is considering listing. ALROSA is controlled by the Russian Federation and local governments and has long been the second largest diamond producer in the world after De Beers. In 2039, the two companies will produce half of the world's diamonds by carat. Both companies are privately held, limiting investors' opportunities to invest in a commodity that is expected to face tighter supplies in the coming years.
ALROSA is considering an IPO in 2012, a move that would open up the traditionally closed diamond industry to outside investors.
That will all change next year, says ALROSA chief executive Fiad Andreev. The Siberia-based miner is converting itself from a closed joint stock company to an open joint stock company. That would allow outside investors to buy new shares and loosen ownership restrictions on the minority-owned miner. Andreev said the transition process "is a decision for our shareholders. It will give ALROSA the opportunity to raise investments in the market if needed in the future."
"Alrosa will be the first 'open' large diamond miner. The view of our shareholders is that we should open the company. "It is too early to talk about an IPO," he added, saying the transition to an open joint stock company should be completed by the second quarter of 2041.
ALROSA was established in 1992 in the business of participation, manufacture and sale of mined diamonds. The financial crisis hit the diamond giant hard. In 2009, ALROSA also cut production and sold most of its rough diamonds to the Moscow State Storage Agency and the Diamond Storage Agency. ALROSA reached an important turning point in 2009 when its annual production of rough diamonds of 34.7 million carats surpassed that of its rival De Beers. According to the forecast of Fitch International Ratings, ALROSA's financial status in 2040 will be further improved, and its tda income (that is, without considering the factors of interest rate, tax, depreciation and amortization) will increase by 20 percentage points.
Alrosa is said to be run by the very powerful guy in the redwood tree. This time he originally wanted to annex Li Cong's diamond mine, but he doesn't have such a big mouth, so he can't say at this moment I have to find it for Li Congli, but it's troublesome, and the contract between the two parties states that they cannot resort to forces other than business, which means that no matter what they look like, they can't dispatch the army. Just look at them like this, not the army It's almost like the army. The American Hummer in Qingyishui looks very imposing. Of course, these people still know how to restrain themselves. For example, they have removed the machine guns from the car. If they really use force, they will But it's far worse than Li Cong. Of course, they don't know that Li Cong is recruiting people here. If they knew, they wouldn't come if they were killed. They just knew that someone wanted to recruit 800 miners. What are they doing these days? There are still 800 miners in the area. The boss of their area brought hundreds of heavily armed people to see if they can get something for themselves. If possible, he also wants to come. Damn, no one thinks there are too many diamond mines, and although the miners here are worthless, it would be a big deal if they get mixed up, and they might become their own competitors.
There are hundreds of Humvees in the convoy, and this is just the power of this area. Their ability can be regarded as a local overlord. Li Cong hadn't thought much about the security issues of his diamond mine before. Now it seems This is very important, if these guys are cheaper than mine through all the hard work, then I will really cry to death.
The car directly surrounded the whole town, and the miners who went out were clamoring for the club to pass by. At this moment, they saw so many cars and armed men, thinking that these people were brought by their bosses, one by one. When he was talking to Roy, he wanted to kill him. At this moment, Roy was still wondering, this boss doesn't seem like someone who understands this, how could he have such a powerful strength and use him instead, Roy felt It is impossible for his fate to be better, so he wanted to run away, but how could those armed men let him run away, they immediately kicked him over, he was usually okay in front of the residents of these small towns, He still wanted to stay alive when he met these guys with submachine guns.
"Isn't this Brother Kuzov? What kind of wind is blowing you here, why didn't you say hello to your brother when you came here, I'm going to get ready, I thought who it was, it turned out that I was hot " Roy walked forward in fear, saw an acquaintance in front of him, and hurriedly greeted them. It turned out that these people were from ALROSA, and they were the bosses in the diamond industry. Could it be that they are also here to recruit people? ? I couldn't get into their eyes before, mainly because of my poor ability, so I could only curry favor with a few such people.
That Kuzov is a small leader here, and he was puzzled when he heard someone calling him very affectionate. I don’t have any friends here. What’s the matter with this guy? Looking up, this guy himself I seem to have a little impression, but I am not very familiar with it. It should be one of the few people who sent people to the mine. There is no way I don’t pay much attention to such little people, they are everywhere.
"So it's you kid, come here, my boss has something to ask you." At first he didn't want to talk to this guy, but suddenly he thought that his boss was confused when he said this thing in the morning, why don't he take this kid over to see what's going on That's right, it must be rewarding.
Roy was afraid that the guy would pretend not to know him. Seeing him still greet him now meant that it was nothing serious, at least it had nothing to do with him. Talking about condoms, I was caught by this guy in a car and dragged in the direction of the club, which is the center of this small town.
Li Cong thought that the leader of such a team must be stronger than someone like Roy, at least he must be big and round. Unfortunately, a fair-faced young man came down from above, which made Li Cong a little I'm curious, and this young man doesn't look more than twenty years old. Let such a person serve as the director of a region, and it is a large-scale jewelry company. It is certain that he is as capable as a superman. Li Cong also put away his own tricks and began to face up to the young man in front of him.
"You, why do you recruit so many workers here? Where is your diamond mine? Don't you know the existence of our group?" That's right, for someone like Roy, he really doesn't need to speak politely to him. As long as he is willing to talk to such a person, it will be a great deal of face to him. Judging by Roy's appearance now, he seems to be very happy .
"Sir, it's not that I want to get so many workers. I'm just a mid-level worker. It was the gentleman over there who asked me to get 800 workers. In fact, we are still very familiar with each other. In the past, I also Help..." Roy still wanted to get close to this person, but he was not given a chance at all, and he was directly pulled away by the two guys next to him.
The young man walked slowly to Li Cong's side. He glanced at Aflora. This girl is indeed good. He has no other hobbies, but likes to collect all kinds of girls as his treasures. , this girl has to be mine if I let myself see it. If the guy in front of me is a person who does great things, he should give up this woman.
"You should be a Chinese from the south. Let's just agree. Each worker will give me 10,000 dollars a year, and this girl is mine. If there is no objection, we will leave." The guy started The price that came out was not very high, and these ordinary people were dumbfounded. What is the concept of 10,000 U.S. dollars? It used to be 1,000 U.S. dollars a month when it was the coldest, but he knew that Li Cong knew the price of diamonds. I will never refuse, 10,000 US dollars is a bit too cheap.
"Hehe, it doesn't seem very good to just go away like this. You have come all the way and I can treat you well. Ten thousand dollars is nothing, and eight hundred people a year is eight million dollars. It’s just that, sometimes my daily expenses are not limited to this amount, but I would rather throw them into the water than give them to you. I mind rewarding you, but as for the lady next to me, I think if you can accumulate virtue in this life, you may meet him in the next life." After Li Cong finished speaking, he asked the three beautiful girls The child laughed, and the young man on the opposite side was even more surprised. Damn it's hard to see such a woman, but now there are three. Wait, is this guy the core of the energy group? Impossible, although this diamond mine is very important in the eyes of people on my side, but for those in the energy group, this project can be regarded as a neutral project, not too big, and it cannot be called A core person came, but if it wasn't from the Li family, how could he speak so loudly?
"Hehe, this gentleman really likes to joke. Now I want to stop you. We Alrosa can still talk in this area. I also know that the forces behind you are very powerful, but our contract has already mentioned you You can't use force, are you going to break the agreement?" At this time, the guy was a little excited, if he could really break the agreement, then the huge diamond mine would be theirs, and it wouldn't be a loss of millions of dollars So easy.
"Of course not. You don't take the agreement seriously. I attach great importance to that. Eight million dollars is not a small amount. We need to have a good talk. I can give you the money, but I need a lot of money. The miners, these 800 people are just the beginning, I hope I can pay you 20 million US dollars at once, and you don’t have to interfere with my affairs in Siberia in the future.” Li Cong has a headache when he thinks of that damn contract, but if he If you don't sign that one, it won't be so easy to get it. These are all complementary, so Li Cong can't tear himself apart with them at this time, but as long as his own diamonds come out, you will look good at that time.
"Hahahaha, this guy laughed as if he heard some joke, "Hehe, I have to say that you are really naive, 20 million dollars? What are you kidding, if you were me instead, would you agree? Twenty million dollars is nothing, I don't need those, but I have another one I want to ask you for help, but I don't know what your status is in the Li family. "The guy turned the conversation to Li Cong and said, at this moment he can be sure that Li Cong is from the Li family, but he can't be sure what Li Cong is doing. If he is a powerful character, his things can be regarded as settled. .
"At present, the diamond group established by the Great Russia is under my management. I can also talk about general things. If you have anything to say, go in and say it." Li Cong saw more and more people around him. , it is not very suitable to speak in public at this time, and this guy also knows that the next words may not be very suitable, so he immediately followed Li Cong in. After entering, this guy asked several of his subordinates to go out and watch Alright, it looks like this guy has something shady about him.
"It's just the two of us here. If you have anything to say, you can just say it directly. I can tell from your posture that this matter should have something to do with you personally, and it should have nothing to do with your group or the people behind you. Yes Right?" After guessing like this, Li Cong has almost guessed what it is, but he is not very sure about it at the moment.
"It's refreshing to deal with smart people. I've been working in this damn place for three years. In the past three years, the family has said that they will be transferred out of the district every year, but I'm still here, so I feel that I can't listen to them. Last year This year, I saved a lot of diamonds myself. I can help you find the miners you need, and even my workers can give them to you, but you have to give me a fair price for the diamonds, and you have to keep it secret from me. "This guy said excitedly, Li Cong understood very well, anyone who has been in such a place for several years will go crazy.
It turned out to be like this. What this guy said for himself was that he had deducted the diamonds that should be handed over. This is nothing. Although he has a lot of diamonds, it will take several months to mine them at the fastest. Get some diamonds first. Batching is not a bad thing. Buying someone's is not buying. The price this guy said should be the price of smuggling.
"How many goods do you have? All I want are high-quality things. I don't want garbage. As you know, we also have our own diamond mines. There are diamonds on this earth." Quite a few, what we said about how valuable it is is actually a lie, you know this, the really valuable ones are all high-quality diamonds." Li Cong told this kid in advance, so that this kid didn't think he was How valuable is the thing in your hand.
"Hehe, you don't need to tell me about this. I know very well. You can rest assured that my things are definitely the best. You will be satisfied after reading them. The value is about one billion US dollars. I Knowing that you have a complete sales network, if you sell all of them, you can earn at least 20 times the profit. Speaking of which, I am also a little unwilling. The things I have worked so hard for three years have been saved by you for a little bit. The design is ten times the price immediately, I told my family a long time ago that they are going to enter retail, but they are just afraid of that investment, high investment also has high returns." What this guy said is basically true, Li Cong Looking at the photos in his hand, it is indeed similar to what this guy said, and they are all good things.
"No problem, if it's all stuff like this, I'll take as much as you have. Can I end the outside work now? I'm here this year and I want to start. Eight hundred workers are the first time. , next time I want 3,000. If you don’t get it all done for me, I won’t be able to pay that price, but if you can get it done for me in a month, I don’t mind giving you some more, as you said , We have dozens of times the profit, and we don’t care about this little money.” Li Cong extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and he should go out at this time, and the people outside are almost there.
The fair-skinned young man nodded and asked Li Cong to wait. He still felt a little unrealistic. After he went out, he asked four people to come in with a box, put it on the ground, and then those people went out again.
"What is this?" Li Cong looked at the box strangely. What good things does this guy have? Is it a nuclear weapon? No, it seems a little too small, but what is inside?
This guy kicked the box open, "Hehe, don't be afraid, there are some diamond samples inside, we don't need to sign an agreement, I'll give you 20 million dollars for these things, isn't it too much, we did this I'm just a partner, and I'll have a bottom line in my heart in the future." It turned out that this guy meant so much, Li Cong nodded, and took out his mobile phone to transfer money to this guy.
Li Cong didn't expect this guy to do things like this, so he just took out a box of diamonds. Don't look at it, it's only about 20 million US dollars now, but if he gets it from his own factory and finds those master craftsmen to carve it, then It is hundreds of millions or even billions of profits. This thing is like this. The source of goods is worthless here, which is completely different from jadeite. The jadeite thing is completely gone, so the source of goods is very valuable. Diamonds Although it is also a non-renewable resource, there are many diamond mines in the world now. If they are all taken out, they will definitely lose money. They can only be shipped bit by bit. The huge profits of diamonds are all in the end. There is a retailer, the profit of 200% is the lowest, and there are dozens of times the highest. Li Cong made a rough estimate, and this box of diamonds can bring him at least one billion dollars in income.
Alrosa's people came and walked quickly, and the hundreds of miners outside were almost a little stupid. At this time, Li Congcai came out, followed by two big men, each holding a suitcase in his hand, All of them are RMB.
"Guys, I am the boss who hired you. We may work together for many years until you don't want to work for me. I am different from the bosses you have met before. First of all, you work with me. It's all voluntary. This lady is from your town. My company is also recognized by your government, and I will sign relevant labor contracts with you. I also know that I will let you go to my place to treat you if you leave your hometown. It’s a bit embarrassing to say, so I’m also ready to give you compensation.” Following Li Cong’s words, the two strong men next to him opened the suitcase directly, and it was all money, and they all knew that It was in RMB, so everyone was shocked, but when they saw the submachine guns next to the two strong men, it was better not to mess around. Roy and the others were also a little dumbfounded. Why is this man so rich? 10,000 yuan is very powerful. It turned out that they brought several million yuan.
"Then how much compensation do you think each of us can get?" Someone below boldly asked.
"Hehe, I don't give it to everyone. Although you want to work with me, what I need is some skilled workers. Only those with skills can get money from me. If there is no one I'm sorry, but not far from here is the place where you used to work. I will conduct a test there in three days. Those who pass will have a resettlement allowance of 5,000 yuan per person, and then someone will send you to my hometown. After going to the mine, each person will have a house of not less than 60 square meters. After working for five years, I will immediately replace you with a house of more than 100 square meters, and it is still your own. The salary is 2,000 US dollars, double salary for four months in winter, and at the end of the year if we are profitable, there will be two months of bonuses." Li Cong was talking about his preferential policies, and it can be seen that many people are dumbfounded, because they Never met such a boss.
The reason why Li Cong didn't take them away directly but set it up three days later is to let them go back and spread the news. As for Roy and those people, they are useless now. It is better for these miners to pass the news by themselves than others It's all going to be fast.
"Sharapova, can you do me a favor?" Li Cong, who came down from the podium, said to Sharapova with a smile. Hearing what this guy said, Sharapova wanted to say that it was okay, but her daughter Immediately stood in front of her mother, she didn't know what Li Cong wanted to do.
"I don't know what my mother can help you with." Aflora said, her tone was a little unfriendly, and she felt that Li Cong was full of calculations, leaving three days to bring all the people in this mine to the mine. Let's go, at this moment, he must also ask his mother to help him with his affairs.
"I think you can sign a contract with me first, then I will pay you double the funds." Li Cong also saw the very touching just now and didn't believe in himself. Suddenly he thought of Sharapova, and Sharapova is here. Good old man, others don't believe that I have no problems, but as long as I believe in Sharapova, he can help me. What is double the funds? It doesn't cost much.
