Section 1441 Cooperation with Tiffany

Qin Guozhong quickly pulled Li Cong and told him not to talk nonsense with Fatty Zhou because of this issue. Everyone could see that Fatty Zhou was sincere this time. Damn it, love at first sight happens in this world.

That's quite right, but it always feels a little uncomfortable to appear on Fatty Zhou's body. This guy is a promiscuous man, how can he rely on another woman, even if this woman is very beautiful.

"I said, Fatty, I don't have a problem with which girl you want to pursue. I can create conditions for you here, but the problem is what to do with my business in Hong Kong? That is also a business worth hundreds of billions of dollars every year. I

I know that you have become rich in the past few years, and you can eat, drink and have fun all your life, but you can't ask me to find someone to take over temporarily, can you? Brothers can't be like you." Li Cong suddenly thought of himself in Hong Kong

Our jewelry wholesale business has developed so fast in recent years thanks to Fatty Zhou. It would be very troublesome if this kid lingered here and refused to leave.

"You are the only one who can stop me from marrying a wife because of your career? You are trying to delay my life-long event. Brothers are all looking forward to their brothers getting married soon. How can I deal with someone like you?"

I'm a boss who wants money but not my brother's happiness. I want to resign. I'm not going to work anymore." Fatty Zhou looked sad and angry, but when he saw Li Cong and Qin Guozhongliang were both cheerful, he immediately knew that Brother Liang was going to do it.

Just kidding yourself.

"Okay, don't resign. I have a way. Isn't it time to change the deal yet? If you want to stay here, I will transfer her to work under you when you leave.

That's it, letting you resign is my biggest loss, but there are still many people who can take over your future wife's job." Li Cong had actually thought of this method a long time ago, just to see what Fatty Zhou was like.

Now I saw this guy shouting to resign from practice. It was obvious that he was getting serious. I really felt that this fat guy was very cute sometimes.

"That's pretty much it. I'm really happy today, but it has nothing to do with your diamond mine. What I'm happy about is that I have a new goal. That woman is my new goal. By the way, that woman you just mentioned

What is the name of the child? 1..." In one sentence, Li Cong was told to go under the table. When he looked at Qin Guozhong, he also looked defeated. He didn't even hear his name clearly with this face.

You want someone to be your wife. If a girl knows about it, they probably won't pay attention to you.

"Okay, stop talking about your useless things here. Lao Qin, you have to give me a detailed introduction to Tiffany's situation. I didn't have time to ask in detail just now, so let's go first." Although it is very cheap.

Vodka, but the three of them still drank very deliciously. With this fine wine, Qin Guozhong, Tiffany's information also started. Li Cong started talking about it. As for the fat man, at the moment, he was just foolishly fantasizing about his wife. It was just Elaine.

Na didn't know anything about it at the moment, she was busy negotiating with two major jewelry companies in the United States.

It was opened in New York City in 1837 by Charles Tiffany and John B. Young. It was originally named "Tiffany & Young" (Tiffany & Young). The store was located in Lower Manhattan and was a boutique specializing in selling fashionable goods. At that time, the company

It is managed by Tiffany, Young and Ellis. Tiffany blue is Tiffany’s signature color. Shortly after the company was founded, Tiffany adopted this unique color as a symbol of their quality and craftsmanship.

The movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" can be said to have made Tiffany famous all over the world. In fact, Hepburn, the protagonist of the movie, was a fanatical pursuer of Tiffany.

During the American Civil War, President Lincoln paid a visit to Tiffany despite the severity of the war and purchased a pearl necklace for his wife. During Lincoln’s inauguration ceremony, the president’s wife wore it. There is also a legend that at the moment when President Lincoln was assassinated

(At 7:22 on April 15, 1865), the Atlas clock that had been used as a decoration on the Timeny Company Building since 1853 suddenly stopped at this moment. This may be a coincidence, but it left a lasting impression.

The next mystery.

Let's trace the history of Tiffany. It was 1837. Tiffany and his friends opened a small grocery store selling antiques, stationery, and pottery with only $1,000. The first day's turnover was only $5.

But 12 years later, it became a store mainly selling watches, silver products, and jewelry. In 1851, it cooperated with the world's silverware manufacturing masters, making Tiffany one of the world's famous silverware manufacturers. 1 867

, at the World Expo in Paris, Tiffany won the Silverware Excellence Award, thus embarking on a shining journey.

In 1877, Tiffany purchased a 287-carat diamond. In order to make it show its most beautiful brilliance, it was shaped with 90 cutting facets. It became a heirloom of Tiffany. At that time, it was in use

The trend of diamonds as engagement rings. However, the inlay technology at the time could not fully reflect the charm of diamonds. In 1886, Tiffany & Co. invented the "Tiffany production method" that uses six prongs to inlay diamonds. This inlay method can make diamonds

The brilliance is maximized. This style designed by Timminy is still used as the shape of the engagement ring.

The reason why Tiffany has achieved today's performance is that it has the courage to boldly challenge modernity while attaching importance to tradition.

The purpose of Tiffany & Co. is "the unremitting pursuit of beauty and character." In order to fulfill its promise, Tiffany does not hesitate to cooperate with famous art masters such as Picasso to create high-quality jewelry. In the 1980s, Picasso's daughter-Barbara

Roma Picasso designed for Tiffany & Co. the X-shaped jewelry that symbolizes kissing and became popular around the world.

Since its establishment in 1837, Tiffany has always regarded the design of original works of stunning beauty as its purpose. Facts have proved that Tiffany jewelry can not only speak the hearts of lovers, but its original silverware, stationery and tableware are even more impressive.

People are fascinated by it. "Classic design" is the definition of Tiffany's work, which means that every stunning Tiffany masterpiece can be passed down from generation to generation. Tiffany's design never caters to the ups and downs of fashion, so it will never fall out of fashion.

, because it is completely above the trend. The creative essence and concept of Tiffany are full of strong American characteristics: simple and distinct lines tell the calm and transcendent clarity and the heart-stirring elegance. Harmony, proportion, and organization, in

Every piece of tiffany design can be naturally integrated and presented. Tiffany's design emphasizes excellence. It can get inspiration from all things in nature and leave behind the tedious and delicate artificiality. It only strives for simplicity and clarity, and each masterpiece reflects

The American people are innately straightforward, optimistic and witty. Shortly after Tiffany was founded, it designed a blue packaging box tied with a white ribbon, which became its famous symbol. 19. At the turn of the 20th century, Tiffany

(Tiffany) brand used stainless steel jewelry boxes for the first time, and emphasized that they should be silver, not gold.

There is another interesting thing between Tiffany and the president of the United States. In 1861, President Lincoln spent $530 in Tiffany’s store to buy a set of pearl jewelry for his wife, Mary, so that she could be re-elected as president.

Weared at the swearing-in ceremony, after Lincoln set a precedent, other U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state rushed to follow suit. 100 years later, another celebrity in American history also walked into Tiffany's and wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for his wife.

, asked Walter Hoving, the boss at the time, if he could give the President of the United States a discount? Walter Hoving replied: "I'm sorry, when Lincoln came, there was no discount." Eisenhower was convinced and paid the full price. Tiffany

The emphasis is on high quality and the pursuit of perfection. Later, when almost every president took office again, he would go to that store to choose a piece of jewelry for his wife. However, the boss there no longer charges money, but the requirement is

Just ask the First Lady to take a huge photo of their jewelry, so the photo in front of their door is rotated with that of the President of the United States. One term after another, although these jewelry have made millions less over the years, they still bring them with them.

The reputation it has gained is immeasurable. A collector once offered a ridiculous price of 35 million to buy the photos of the First Lady collected by Tiffany, but was rejected by the store owner. They considered it their most valuable asset.

It can be said that Tiffany's main focus has not been in the diamond business, but they have always had the idea of ​​​​growing diamonds, so they approached Li Cong to make new moves.

"What's going on? You've been listening to me for a long time. Do you have any plans? I'm telling you, Tiffany's funds are very strong. There are huge investors behind them. I don't know who they are.

Well, Fatty knows this very well. They bought a lot of good things at the jade auction in Hong Kong this year. People in the industry also observed for a while and found that they spent so much money on jade and jade.

The jadeite rough stone has not affected their original business at all." Qin Guozhong felt a little uncomfortable thinking about defeating this behemoth. Although his family is a big jewelry store in Asia, it is still too inferior compared to these world-class ones.

Far, although the numbers are almost the same, my unit is in Hong Kong dollars, and theirs is a five-fold difference, and they have more background and more customers than I do. This is the most terrible thing.

.

"Fat man, let's be serious, how much jade did Tiffany buy and how did they pay for it?" Li Cong kicked Fatty Zhou who was still sleepwalking. If he hadn't woken up at this time, he wouldn't mind giving this kid more.

Two-legged.

Fatty Zhou naturally knows when to speak and when to be silly. When Li Cong asked about his work, he immediately thought of the somewhat hunchbacked American. The actions of that little old man back then were still in his mind, "That

The little old man at Tiffany’s is amazing. At that time, we were auctioning ten jadeite pieces of similar size and fineness. Each piece was worth between 20 million and 30 million US dollars. Those people all had 500,000 US dollars.

With a price increase of 100,000, the old man's first bid went up to 30 million U.S. dollars. As a result, no one competed with him. He bought the second piece for 30 million U.S. dollars, and the remaining jadeite prices were higher than

The one is higher. Calculating this old man has saved a lot, you know? They are the protagonists of our trade fair. We sold a total of about 13.5 billion US dollars of jade in this trade fair. This old guy alone

They bought 3 billion, which is more than a quarter. As far as we know, they don't have that much liquidity." When it came to work, the fat man also became a bit serious. Compared with diamonds, those jade transactions

It seems that they are just Xiaotou. After listening to this, Li Cong hopes to see them soon. If this large-scale diamond mine of more than ten trillion carats is in his own hands, he really doesn’t know how long he will be able to dig it, and he has already

Trillions of dollars have been paid for this mine, and now is the time to get it back, otherwise, there may be problems with your own capital chain.

"Haha, a multi-billion-dollar deal can't be considered their biggest deal. Just wait, I believe they will give us a price that we all like. Okay, let's not talk about the rest of the business. Let's continue drinking.

Let's do it." After Li Cong finished speaking, he filled the two guys' glasses and drank it all at once. None of the three of them could get up that night. Li Cong didn't control himself and got drunk too. The next day

When I woke up, I saw the helicopter in the sky. The representative of Tiffany had already arrived. It was still the old man with a little hunchback. He was the current head of Tiffany, Taki Tiffany. In fact, if it weren't for Li Cong's jewelry

He would not go to Hong Kong to participate in such a trade fair because of the group's connections. He would just find someone behind the family to come. If they came in person, it meant that Li Cong was very proud.

Li Cong's diamond mine is definitely worth the money. A large amount of diamonds have come out in just two days. At least if the old man wants to place an order, it will be no problem. Plus, where can I get it from ALROSA?

Diamond, I'm afraid he won't open his mouth.

Looking at the helicopters in the sky, Li Cong felt that it was time to open an airport here. He had to talk to the Sequoia people about this matter. He had to convince them that this was a civilian airport, otherwise he would probably have to fight.

Even if they refuse to approve it, it seems that they still have to rely on the military advisor. This guy has not contacted me, and it seems that his life is not easy.

"Hello, Mr. Li, let me introduce myself. I am the boss of Tiffany. Just call me Taki. In fact, according to what you Chinese people say, you should call me old man. I am not young.

This will not benefit you." This old man looked very kind. He had one thing in common and one difference with the Americans Li Cong had met. The common point was that it was obvious that the man in front of him spoke Chinese fluently.

Li Cong is a little ashamed of what he said in Beijing movies. The difference is that he doesn't have the domineering attitude of those Americans, which makes people feel very comfortable. It's hard to find Americans like him these days.

"Haha, you are right. I think we will call you old man. This seems very friendly. I am Li Yi, the person in charge here. Please give me your guidance. I can be said to be a primary school student in the diamond industry.

Yes, you are like Mount Tai and Beidou." Li Cong has not done anything like flattering for a long time, but in order to quickly convert the diamonds in his hand into money, it is better to be humble and say a few words.

No one will die.

"I think we shouldn't stand outside anymore. The weather here is really too cold. Let's go inside quickly. The first batch of diamonds came out of my mine today. I'm just waiting for you, old man, to come and take a look.

." By the way, this customer is God's. It doesn't matter if you say a few nice words to God. You might be able to make a big deal.

"Haha, okay, that's refreshing. I thought I wouldn't be able to see your goods until tomorrow. Now it seems that I, an old man, can't keep up with the thinking of young people like you. Anyway, I'm not too tired so I'll go in and take a look. If

If possible, let's settle the big things today first, and then we can chat about everyday things." The old man was also very happy, and just like what he said, we had to negotiate the price first, and the rules in the jewelry market are generally like this.

But Li Congba changed the rules, which made him very happy.

Several people returned to the house where Qin Guozhong and his two men took them yesterday. At this moment, there were a huge number of sparkling diamonds in it. Even the boss of a jewelry company probably would not have seen so many diamonds. His boss told

After he goes there, he wants to buy more jewelry. The price will definitely not be too high. He still doesn't believe that there are the best diamonds everywhere. But now it seems that it is definitely true. Diamonds like this can be sold in South Africa for tens of thousands every year.

Carats are good, but so many can be produced here in one day. If you don't care about such things, you are simply not a human being. The old guy did a quick calculation, and after carefully checking the purity of the diamonds, he followed a few people

When he arrived at the rest area, he didn't walk very fast along the way, because he knew that he would start talking about business after sitting down, and he was not ready yet.

"How is it, old man, the goods here are very good, right?" Li Cong said as he gave the old man a cup of coffee. Although the old man said he was not very tired just now, Li Cong could tell that he is such an old man.

, I'd be damned if I wasn't tired right now.

The old man thanked Li Cong and smiled. He was dissatisfied and couldn't do it anymore. Looking at his young staff, they were all fine. It was just that his body was a little unable to withstand it. He didn't want to insist on it.

I just came here, I just want to make sure that I can enter the diamond industry in a big way, and compared with Africa, it is relatively stable here, so I did it for the first time, and I am still very satisfied with the result after I came here.

Yes, the performance is good, the goods are good and the advantages are beyond my imagination.
