Chapter 2083 Celebration
The next night, Daniel Pickard appeared in front of Qin Feng wearing a bandage.
Although his whole body was bruised, he was in good spirits.
"Boss, I finally succeeded this time!" Daniel Picard looked excited.
He finally succeeded in negotiating and could mine gold.
That's a gold mine.
Although Africa is more famous for diamonds.
But in reality, diamonds themselves have little value.
But it was made famous by De Beers.
De Beers was founded in 1888. A very, very auspicious number.
According to the domestic view, if the company was established in this year, it would be destined to be brilliant.
1888 was the year of Wuzi (Year of the Rat) in the lunar calendar, the fourteenth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. In this year, the Beiyang Navy was established.
Of course, no one knew that a small company established this year would influence human love for more than a century in the future.
The company was founded by British businessman Cecil Rhodes. Cecil Rhodes was not only a successful businessman, but also the Prime Minister of the British Empire's South African colony.
Before he founded De Beers, the global diamond industry was very depressed. Not many people were pursuing this thing that looked similar to glass.
Although it is very unique, very hard, and has a very dazzling appearance.
However, at that time, it was not much different from glass.
Because Cecil Rhodes was the colonial prime minister of South Africa, he monopolized several diamond vein resources in South Africa. At that time, diamonds were not discovered elsewhere.
Of course, even though there was an exclusive monopoly at that time, it could not make diamonds popular.
How to make diamonds popular, Cecil Rhodes thought of a modern advertising spokesperson.
He believes that finding the most authoritative person to promote it can make diamonds popular. And who is this person?
Naturally, he was not a big star, and his status as a star at that time was not high. Cecil Rhodes believed that only the Queen of England had this qualification.
As it happened, the Cullinan Diamond was discovered at that time, and was also known as the Star of Africa. It was presented to the Queen of England by Cecil Rhodes, and was finally embedded in the British Royal Token of the British Empire. Later, the Cullinan Diamond was discovered.
The Linan No. 2 diamond was once again presented to the Queen of England and finally set in the crown.
At this point, diamonds began to be sought after by those noble ladies, and naturally their prices skyrocketed.
The reason why Cecil Rhodes, who was not yet wealthy at the time, was able to monopolize the diamond mines at that time, and quickly control the world's diamond mines in the future, was because he received financial assistance from Rothschild.
At that time, the Rothschilds were the largest family in the world.
It has formulated a strategy, that is, to make diamonds in short supply and make diamonds a scarcity. Then they will naturally become popular.
This has also become the purpose of De Beers for the next hundred years.
Of course, after entering the 20th century? When the conservative world was devastated by the artillery fire of World War II and the whole world was suffering, the headquarters had been moved to De Beers in the United States. In view of the comfortable social environment in the United States at that time, De Beers proposed: Diamonds are forever?
A slogan that will last forever.
This is also known as the best advertising slogan in the world. No slogan can be more deeply rooted in people's hearts than this one.
At this point, diamonds and love are bound.
Since then, De Beers has continued to thrive.
But? The real value is the gold mine.
Because gold is not just a decoration, it is also a precious metal. It has unique metal properties, making it valuable in various fields such as aviation, manufacturing, and IT.
For example, everyone uses gold on their circuit boards for the best conductive properties. This is why many people collect unwanted integrated circuit boards at extremely low prices.
Because gold can be extracted from it.
Now that Daniel Picard has finally negotiated the gold mine, he is naturally very proud.
"Daniel, you are really outstanding, you are beyond my imagination! I think the Picard family will be proud of you!" Qin Feng boasted without hesitation.
Daniel Picard was naturally excited when he heard this.
For him, although he relied on the power of his family to solve the gold mine problem this time, no matter what, his courage and perseverance were the keys to final success.
Without his persistence, the negotiation would not have been possible.
Therefore, the Picard family also looked at him with admiration this time.
This made Daniel Picard very excited.
"Come on, post a message on Moments to celebrate! Celebrate that my friend, you, successfully won the gold mining rights in Africa." Qin Feng said with a smile.
Daniel Picard had a smile on his face and didn't think there would be any problems.
So, the two happily took a photo and then uploaded the photo to FACEBOOK through the scanner.
Qin Feng did this just to solidify his relationship with Daniel Picard, and also to solidify his relationship with Picard Company.
That way, if it was later revealed that he was smuggling arms, he would have an excuse.
That way, it won't be true.
Because, this is all legal.
As long as it is legal, those in the country cannot hold themselves accountable.
Although it is definitely sinful for you to do this in China, you are abroad.
Domestic laws have no control over foreign countries.
Wherever you are, you must abide by the laws.
This is the key.
"By the way, boss, my father invited you to my house as a guest. I also came to invite you by the way." Daniel Pickard said excitedly.
Qin Feng nodded.
You know, this should be more than just celebrating the return of Daniel Picard.
There should also be interests involved here.
After all, this is a gold mine.
Daniel Picard used the resources of the Picard family to obtain the mining rights. However, he himself did not have any income from the gold mine, and the Picard family would definitely not agree.
Therefore, in this case, it is natural and reasonable to talk to yourself about the issue of gold mine equity.
Soon, Qin Feng estimated the rough bottom line in his mind.
For Qin Feng, a gold mine is indeed very profitable, but compared with the money he will make on the Internet in the future, it is not worth mentioning.
Therefore, Qin Feng doesn't care how much the other party divides.
However, as long as the bottom line is above 50%, Qin Feng can still control the company.
Qin Feng didn't care about the rest.
On the contrary, it would be better if the two sides cooperate more closely.
After all, now that Bugin has captured someone, he will definitely be sold by the CIA. It would be better to be closer to the Picard family.
When the time comes, there will always be an ally.
Although it is said that the Picard family will not stand on their side and help them with anything. But as long as they cooperate with the Picard Company, that will be fine.
Chapter completed!
