As Cao Fan and Tang Chaoyang chatted, Li Du gradually understood why Cao Fan was so happy to see him, and he made a quick decision to bring him this highly private dinner.

Tang Chaoyang needed a batch of diamonds, but he had not yet purchased them and was always upset about them.

Cao Fan is very good at doing things. It seems that Tang Chaoyang and the others have great energy. He wants to curry favor with them and bring Li Du here to solve this problem.

As the topic was extended, Li Du could not stay out of it. He asked: "How many diamonds do you need? I am a shareholder of Hairy Winston Group. Maybe I can help you see the inventory status of Winston Group."

After hearing this, Song Biaozi was overjoyed and shouted: "Is that so? We need..."

"Han Xin ordered the troops, the more the better." Tang Chaoyang laughed first, "The more, the better. How many diamonds can Mr. Li provide?"

Li Du said in embarrassment: "It's not clear yet. I have to communicate with the president of Winston Group. What price do you want to offer? I can talk to you for you."

"The international diamond price is 10% higher," said Tang Chaoyang. "If the quality is excellent, you can increase it more. The key is to have enough goods."

Li Du nodded. The price is not low, so he can go and talk to try it.

But he was still a little doubtful about Tang Chaoyang's words and asked: "The more you need, the better? Can you eat as much? You have to know that diamonds are super expensive."

Diamonds are very expensive. Many people in society say that they are just stones, they are simply hyped things and have no value.

Even the emergence of this gem is hailed as the most exciting marketing scam in the 20th century. It provides a textbook-like classic case in modern marketing history: commodity service consumers are just a low-end concept, and commodity education consumers are the highest achievement.

Many people have shown evidence that diamonds were initially hyped by the Russians. They hired celebrities of the time to wear such beautiful stones, which pushed them step by step to the world.

In a sense, Li Du does not agree with this statement. This is nonsense. Diamonds are not worthless!

First, diamonds were born for a long time, and Indians discovered these beautiful stones very early, but there was no cutting process at that time, so they could not be promoted on a large scale.

However, in that era, beautiful natural diamonds were already rare. Compared with the prices at that time, diamonds in that era were much more expensive than they are now.

Second, diamonds are not only good-looking. Its hardness and some of its physical properties make it even more useful in industry.

The most important thing is that Li Du feels that people who think diamonds are worthless probably have not had much contact with diamonds.

This kind of stone is so beautiful, especially when it is cut intact and put into the light. In the sun, the beauty it emits is enough to impress any normal person.

Appreciation of beauty is always the highest enjoyment that humans pursue, such as beauties, food, beautiful scenery, and super beautiful gems such as diamonds.

However, Li Du also believes that diamonds are not worthy of such high prices. This thing is beautiful, but it can be artificially synthesized. Unlike precious metals such as gold, it cannot be artificially synthesized at all.

Also, the storage capacity of diamonds on the earth is actually quite large. If jewelers all jump out and dig out, the diamond market will collapse.

So in Li Du's opinion, diamonds are a good thing, very beautiful and everyone likes them very much, but it is not worth the high price now.

Tang Chaoyang smiled and said, "We can eat it, just take it out. My brother and I have saved a lot of money over the years."

The big cat next to him couldn't help asking, "I'll say, Mr. Tang, why do you need so many diamonds? Do you want to use them to touch the heart of a princess?"

Song Biaozi laughed: "What should the princess of the Hammer do to touch their hearts? We have other uses. We have to go into a place and need to use the refraction of diamonds..."

"Eat, eat." Tang Chaoyang waved his hand like lightning, picked up a piece of duck meat and stuffed it into Song Biaozi's mouth.

Li Du probably understood what they meant and said, "Then why do you need natural diamonds? There should be a lot of industrial diamonds? They are cheap."

Song Biaozi wanted to laugh again, and Tang Chaoyang shook his head and said, "No, industrial diamonds cannot be used, natural diamonds must be used, we don't know why."

Just like buying a Rolls-Royce umbrella, they seemed to be going to another place. They used an umbrella to go there before to block the strong wind. I don’t know why they use diamonds this time.

Li Du guessed that they needed so many diamonds, maybe they wanted to use them to pave the way.

Cao Fan's goal was achieved. He didn't really have to help Tang Chaoyang find diamonds, even if it was just a channel, so that Tang Chaoyang and Song Biaozi could understand his attitude.

After dinner, Li Du returned to the hotel, and Cole booked a room for him at the famous Mandarin Oriental Hotel, a luxurious VIP room, a thousand dollars a night.

This hotel is only one street from Central Park, overlooking the night view of half of New York, and it is really good to use Oriental culture as its selling point.

The hotel offers late-night snacks, mainly various wines, fruits and snacks. The ingredients are relatively small, including only Japanese fish, Chinese dumplings, Vietnamese sandwiches and Korean barbecue.

When breakfast time, the dishes became hearty: New York hot dogs, kosher delicacies such as scallion and eggs and onions, various grilled cheeses, tortillas with pork belly and fried eggs, waffles with foie gras, corn paste with Oaxaca, Chilean green pepper strips with ceviche flounder, etc.

Li Du and Sophie chose vegetarian food, which is the hotel's special breakfast, which clears the stomach and intestines.

After breakfast, Cole waited for Li Du in the office and introduced some shareholders and important figures to him.

Hairy Winston Group is headquartered in the Midtown area. On the way to the group, Li Du picked up the most classic image of New York:

Busy office workers, towering skyscrapers, Fifth Avenue windows, endless vehicles, and other famous attractions in New York City.

The ability to set up the headquarters here can show the strength of the Winston Group, and at the same time, it also causes tremendous financial pressure.

When the group has no problem with funds, the headquarters office building looks very awesome. Once there is a problem, it will become a rope tied to the neck and a death talisman attached to the back.

Li Du wore a Tang suit to show his national identity. Under the guidance of Secretary Cole, he entered the office in high spirits.

Cole's office was large and covered an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. Cole and a dozen people were discussing something inside. After seeing Li Du, the group stood up politely.

But from it, Li Du felt hostility.
Chapter completed!
