Although the jewelry companies under the Energy Group have also expanded rapidly around the world this year, for some people in the upper class, the jewelry companies of the Energy Group feel that they are still a bit young. Unless they want to buy the jade jewelry monopolized by the Energy Group, otherwise

Otherwise, they would not go there. No matter in every aspect, De Beers' jewelry is better than the jewelry company of the Energy Group. The two of them had not heard the news that Li Cong wanted to acquire it before, and Li Cong

There are still enough reasons. If you want to perfect your own jewelry company, you must acquire it, so that the energy group's jewelry industry can reach a higher level.

What Robert and Hank want to know now is whether this Asian resource has anything to do with Li Cong.

Li never answered them directly on this question. The two people couldn't help but think of the Anglo American Resources Group, which was all-powerful in the last century. They had similar names and did the same thing. However, this resource group disappeared during the great changes in the world.

Well, could it be related to Li Cong? The two of them felt a chill on their backs now. They had to be careful this time and not let this kid fool him again.

A world of powerful resources. Of course, this was all in the last century. Now it has been replaced by Asian resources. No wonder these two people think so. It is really reminiscent.

In 1917, Lord Eroppener founded the South African Anglo-American Company in order to mine the gold mines in the eastrand area of ​​South Africa. The company's approved start-up capital was 1 million pounds. Since the funds mainly came from the United Kingdom and the United States, it was named after the "Anglo-American Company". In the 1920s

By the 1930s, the Anglo-American Company of South Africa had made significant progress in gold mining under the leadership of Sir Robert Eroppener. In 1926, the Anglo-American Company of South Africa became the largest single shareholder of De Beers. Sir Eroppener became the chairman of the company in 1929. 1928

In 1998 Anglo-American companies became involved for the first time in the development of what is now known as the "Zambian Copper Belt".

In the same year, Anglo-American companies began to work with Erensky to discover the platinum group metal ore (eponymousreef), making South Africa the largest platinum producer in the world today.

Developments during the 1820s and 1830s enabled the South African Anglo-American Company to play a key role in the creation of other industries, such as AECI (African Chemical and Chemical Industry). However, the company sold most of its shares in AECI in 2001

The company also participated in the creation of BoartProducts, which developed new technologies for using industrial-grade diamonds in gold mining drilling equipment. At the same time, the company's development provided the necessary funds for the acquisitions of British and American companies, one of which was through

The acquisition of the coal industry made it a subsidiary of the company, allowing Anglo-American Company to enter the coal industry.

From the late 1840s to the 1850s, the Anglo-American Company in South Africa was mainly committed to the development of freestate gold mines and vaalreefs mines. During this period, the company developed 5 major mines at the same time. The success of mining these minerals made the company leap forward

It has become one of the top companies in the international mining industry, and the experience gained has given the company the confidence to develop deep gold mines such as erndeep (commissioned in 1957), which is twice as deep as previous mines. In 1957, eroppener inherited his

cause.

In 1961, the Anglo-American Company of South Africa purchased shares of the Canadian Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company, marking the company's first large-scale investment outside South Africa. After that, in the early 1970s, the Anglo-American Company acquired mining assets in Latin America and

Minerals and Resources Company (later renamed minorco) was established.

In the mid-1960s, the company integrated an increasing number of industrial assets and established the South African Anglo-American Industrial Company (amic). It also entered the steel industry by acquiring Scaetals and developing new highveldprocess technologies in the field of steel production.

In 1967, the South African Anglo-American Company established the Mondi Group, which marked the company's entry into South Africa's wood, pulp and paper industry. After 1984, it became one of the two major enterprises in this industry in South Africa, and then became a leader in the European paper packaging industry.

of major enterprises.

From 1969 to 1970, the company's copper mines in Zambia were nationalized, causing the group to suffer heavy losses.

In 1975, Anglo-American developed eight coal mines in South Africa. These coal mines were later integrated into amcoal (later renamed "Anglo-American Coal"). Anglo-American was also one of the major shareholders of the Richard Bay Coal Mine (rial) development project.

, the project has made South Africa the world's leading coal exporter.

Since the South African National Party came to power in 1948, the relationship between the South African Anglo-American Company and the South African government has never been harmonious, and their views are often opposed. The Oppener family is an important member and one of the founders of the opposition party, and the Anglo-American Company is the main supporter of the black education plan. 1981

In 2001, the Anglo-American Company was the first mining company to advocate recognition of the Negro Trade Union.

In 1982 and at the end of 1984, Er retired from the position of chairman of Anglo-American Company in South Africa and De Beers respectively. His successors were Gavinrelly and Juliano Gilvietpson (he became chairman of Anglo-American Company in 1990).

In 1985, Gavinrelly led a business delegation to meet with the leaders of the African National Congress (anc) in Lusaka. This move made the South African government very angry at the time. The actions of the leaders of British and American companies reflected the actions of several company leaders.

role in supporting South Africa's complex transition towards a non-radical democratic system.

In 1993, the group carried out a major reorganization of Anglo-American's assets in Africa and minorco's interests in other parts of the world. Since then, the company has gradually accelerated its pace of global development. In 1995, the company's Mantoverde copper mine in Chile was put into production;

In 1996, the company's gold mine in Sadiola Hill, Mali, was put into production; in 1997, the company acquired coal assets for the first time in Latin America; and began to build nickel mines and zinc mines in Venezuela and Ireland respectively; in 1999, the company's large-scale copper mine Collahuasi in Chile

(British and American companies accounted for 44% of the shares) was put into production.

In 1996, in South Africa, the company completed the largest black empowerment transaction in the history of South African companies by integrating its interests in jo) and the African Mining Group.

In 1998, after conducting a major strategic study, the South African Anglo American Company announced that it would merge with the Luxembourg-based minorco company to form Anglo American Group Co., Ltd. and list it in London. The purpose of this is to provide future global development.

Better foundation and full use of capital markets.

The move to London was the culmination of a dramatic restructuring process that included the unbundling of many shareholdings that had been cross-owned by major South African companies; the buyback of small stakes from a number of UK and US subsidiaries;

Administrative and technical functions were separated from De Beers. The new company was listed in London, Johannesburg and Switzerland on May 24, 1999.

Since its listing, Anglo American plc has actively divested non-"core" assets (mainly majority stakes in industrial and financial services) and raised approximately US$80 billion through this move. At the same time, it has acquired approximately US$12 billion worth of assets.

The new “core” asset of the US dollar. The main transactions carried out by the company are as follows:

The acquisition of Tarmac plc made Anglo American the largest producer in the UK stone market and the second largest company in the cement industry.

Mondi's stake in the European papermaking and paper packaging industry has been expanded through Frants' paper bag business and a controlling stake in Russia's Syktyvkar forest enterprise.

Acquired Shell's coal interests in Australia and Venezuela; and subsequently acquired one-third of Colombia's largest coal mine, Cerrejon Norte Mine.

The interlocking stakes of Anglo American and De Beers were dismantled. In the past, the two companies had separate stakes in each other. In 2001, through a very complex transaction, Anglo American's shareholding in De Beers was increased to 55, while

De Beers is run by the Oppener family.

The acquisition of Disputada, a large-scale low-cost copper producer in Chile, for a net price of US$1.3 billion, thereby ensuring Anglo American's position as the world's leading low-cost copper producer.

Acquired 67 shares of Kumba Mining Co., Ltd. (Kumba Resources Limited), achieving the company's strategic goal of entering the iron ore industry. But problems arose at this time. At the most glorious moment of the Anglo-American Group, he suddenly retreated, first in London

The delisting of the trading center caused him to lose nearly tens of billions of dollars, but the top management of the group was still doing it. Before the war began, there was no longer a voice from the Anglo-American Group. On the contrary, his original voice was replaced by Asian Resources.

"Mr. Li, let's open up the skylight and speak frankly. If you have already controlled the Anglo-American Group this time, I don't think we need to continue talking. We need benefits, enough benefits." Robert looked at Hank.

Without saying anything, he didn't believe that Li Cong's glass of wine was so delicious. This guy must be waiting for him to speak.

"Haha, you two are really good at calculating. I am also doing loss-making business. You know how difficult it was for me to get the shares of Anglo-American Group back then." These two people also understood what Li Cong said. Anglo-American Group

Such large companies are also very difficult for super large companies like them. They will not be able to do whatever they want like the upstarts. Those organizations are only one step away from them. They

What is lacking is time. If you give them enough time, their achievements may not be lower than those of these people here.

Li Cong's meaning has been very clear. He does control Anglo-American resources. Now it should be called Asian resources, so 40% of the world's diamond trade is in the hands of this guy. Li Cong is not an ordinary person.

He is a jeweler. Jewelry is not something that anyone can do if he wants to. He pays attention to the source of goods and channels, and if he masters one of them, he can basically make this industry boom. But now Li Cong has actually done two things.

, it is difficult for him not to make a fortune from this project. In fact, if the two are compared, the channel is more profitable. Take the diamond in front of him as an example. In terms of supply, the world has hundreds of billions of dollars in share.

, but in terms of retail sales, the share is ten times or even twenty times more. These two guys don’t know how much Li Cong has earned from jewelry. Li Cong himself knows very well that in 2035, he was still a war-torn country.

In the 1990s, his jewelry company combined with precious metal mines brought him a net income of US$700 billion. This was the first year of large-scale investment. At that time, Li established hundreds of companies around the world.

It is a large-scale jewelry sales market, and hundreds of billions of dollars have entered it. If it were not for this, the income would definitely be even more.

"We are very clear about how much Mr. Li paid at that time. Of course, we will keep Mr. Li's efforts in mind. Our family has no such big ambitions for diamonds, no, for jewelry. Li

Sir, just continue your dominance, but we can't help Mr. Li in vain. I have a plan, Mr. Li, please listen to it?" Hank, this guy, didn't say anything from beginning to end. Now he's getting excited. Look.

I had already met with Robert when I got up. These foreign devils were always ahead of me. After all, they were still a family, and my relationship could never be as good as theirs.

"Haha, Mr. Hank is so refreshing. I will also tell you my request. This diamond mine must not be in the hands of the Great Russians. If that is the case, I can guarantee that he will not be able to surpass me, but he wants to surpass me.

It is possible for you, Mr. Hank's side is not stable yet, and as for Mr. Robert's side, I also know very well that if you really use this matter to tease me, I think the ultimate loss will be yours, not mine.

The most I can do is lose some money, but as for you, I think you know what kind of temper a polar bear is, and I am not talking nonsense about this. You also understand how aggressive Tsarist Russia was in history, with trillions of

A carat diamond, even if we hype it up and try to lower the price, it is still a diamond. That thing is not a stone. There are very few women in the world who don't like that thing. A father and his daughter can hold up half the sky, so

Their market is still huge. Mr. Hank, please tell me your plan." Li only gave Hank a chance to speak from one to the end. He was not talking nonsense when he said these flowers, he meant

I want to tell you not to raise the price too high. Otherwise, it will be you who will be unlucky in the end. It is better for you to be honest and cooperate with me.

Sure enough, the two of them stopped talking after Li Cong finished speaking. Hank, who was confident just now, also muttered a little at this time. Since the death of the old president, the Skull and Bones Association has not been united. Although outsiders still look at it, they are still monolithic.

I am an insider, and no one knows what is going on better than me. If it is really a family member, the president's position may not have to be rotated, and the spoils are not distributed equally among the major internal forces. As for the

Europa has just suffered a huge defeat. It has lost so many interests, and it will take at least a year to develop. In a year, Great Russia may have fully researched the diamond mine. By then, it will

It is impossible to contain them, so if you want to take action now, and it must be done by the three companies together, Hank thought about how the Soviet Union fought against his own organization during the Cold War, and he began to mutter in his heart that he could not let such a situation happen again.

You cannot let your country fall into a difficult situation just because of a little profit.

"Li Cong, tell me about your plan. We have to be led by you again this time. Don't let us lose too much. Our two families are indeed internally unstable, but if we are sincere, I hope

You can be fair to us. Our previous strength has now been stretched even greater. Just look at our navy. You also know that if you really pull us apart too much, the three of us can only be

We have united for the sake of our own survival." Robert thought for a while and said, but it was better to let Li Cong pay attention. He couldn't eat all the trillions of carats by himself.

Hank also nodded from the bottom of his heart. Apart from other things, the navy might not be able to catch up with the energy group now that the Americans and Europa are united. This country is too rich. Those who are rich simply cannot

By the way, we used to make you clamor for hundreds of billions of dollars in military expenditures every year. Now it’s better. Your military expenditures are divided into two parts. One part is dedicated to the welfare of soldiers and officers, and the other part is the purchase of weapons and equipment. This year
