Section 1441 Cooperating with Tiffany

Chapter 1441 Working with Tiffany

Qin Guozhong quickly pulled Li Cong, telling him not to talk nonsense with Fatty Zhou because of this issue, everyone can see that Fatty Zhou is sincere this time, mother, there is love at first sight in this world It should be, but it always feels a little uncomfortable to appear on Fatty Zhou's body. This guy is a promiscuous master, how could he rely on another woman, even if this woman is very beautiful. m

"I said Fatty, I have no problem with which girl you want to pursue. I can create conditions for you here, but the problem is what about my business in Hong Kong? That is also a business worth hundreds of billions of dollars every year. I I know that you have been rich in the past few years, and you can eat, drink and play for a lifetime, but you can’t ask me to find someone to top you temporarily, right? Being a brother can’t be like you.” Li Cong suddenly thought of himself in Hong Kong His jewelry wholesale business has developed so fast in the past few years relying on Fatty Zhou. If this kid stays here, it will be troublesome.

"As long as you can, I won't marry a wife because of your career brother? You are trying to delay my life's event. Other brothers all hope that their own brothers will get married soon. How can I have such an affair with you?" The boss who wants money but not brother happiness, I want to resign, I'm quitting." Fatty Zhou looked sad and indignant, but seeing Li Cong and Brother Qin Guozhong Liang were happy, he immediately knew that Brother Liang wanted to Make fun of yourself.

"Okay, don't resign, I have an idea, isn't it time to change the deal, if you are willing to stay here, when you leave, I will directly transfer her to work under your hands 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 actually thought of this way a long time ago, just to see what Fatty Zhou is like, Seeing this guy shout out his resignation now, it is obvious that he is going to be serious. I really feel that this fat man is sometimes very cute.

"It's about the same. I'm really happy today, but it has nothing to do with your diamond mine. I'm happy that I have a new goal. That woman is my new goal. By the way, the woman you said just now What's the child's name 1..." In one sentence, Li Cong said directly to go under the table, and Qin Guozhong also looked defeated when he looked at it, and he didn't understand what his name was with this **** face You want someone to be your wife. If you let other girls know 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 this Tiffany's situation, I didn't have time to ask in detail just now, let's go first." Although it is very cheap Vodka, but the three of them still had a good time drinking it. Qin Guozhong, right? Tiffany's information? Li Cong said, as for the fat man, at this moment, he only had silly fantasies about his wife, just Elaine Na still doesn't know at all at the moment, and is busy negotiating with these two big jewelry companies in the United States.

Founded in New York City in 1837 by Charles Tiffany and John B. Young,

At the beginning, the name was "Tiffany & Young" (ffany & ung), and the store was located in Lower Manhattan, a boutique that specializes in selling fashion items. At that time, the company was run by Tiffany, Yang and Ellis. Tiffany blue (ffany blue) is Tiffany's signature color. Soon after the company was founded, Tiffany adopted this unique color as a symbol of their quality and craftsmanship.

It can be said that Tiffany is famous all over the world because of the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany". In fact, Hepburn himself, the protagonist of the movie, is a fanatical suitor of Tiffany.

During the American Civil War, President Lincoln visited Tiffany regardless of the severity of the war and bought a pearl necklace for his wife. At Lincoln's inauguration, the President's wife wore it. There are also legends that at the moment when President Lincoln was assassinated (7:22 on April 15, 1865), the Atlas clock that had been used as a decoration since 1853 on the Tiemany Company Building suddenly stopped at this moment. . This may be a coincidence, but it leaves a mystery.

Let's trace the history of Tiffany. It was 1837. Tiffany and his friends opened a small grocery store mainly selling antiques, stationery, and pottery with only US$1,000. The turnover on the first day was only US$5. But 12 years later, it has become a shop mainly selling clocks, watches, silver products and jewelry. In 1851, it cooperated with the world's silverware manufacturing masters, making Tiffany one of the world's most famous silverware manufacturers. In 1867, at the Universal Exposition in Paris, Tiffany won the Excellence Award for silverware products, thus moving towards a shining course.

In 1877, Tiffany purchased a diamond weighing 287 carats. In order to make it show the most beautiful brilliance, it was shaped with a 90-cut facet process. It has become Tiffany's heirloom. At that time there was a trend of using diamonds for engagement rings. However, the inlay technology at that time could not fully reflect the charm of diamonds. In 1886, Tiffany & Co. invented the "Tiffany Manufacturing Method" that used six claws to set diamonds. This setting method can maximize the brilliance of diamonds. This style, designed by Timini, is still used today as the shape of an engagement ring.

The reason why Tiffany has today's performance lies in its courage to challenge modern times under the premise of emphasizing tradition.

The tenet of Tiffany & Co. is "the relentless pursuit of beauty and character". In order to fulfill his promise, Timani did not hesitate to cooperate with famous art masters such as Picasso to create high-quality jewelry. In the 1980s, Picasso's daughter, Baroma Picasso, designed x-shaped jewelry symbolizing kisses for Tiffany and Co., which became popular all over the world.

Since its establishment in 1837, ffany has always regarded the design of original works full of stunning beauty as its purpose. Facts have proved that ffany jewelry can not only express the heartfelt voice of lovers, but its original silverware, stationery and tableware are even more fascinating. "Classic design" is the definition of ffany work, that is to say, each amazing ffany masterpiece can be passed down from generation to generation. Fany's design never caters to the ups and downs of fashion, so it will not be outdated, because it is completely above the trend. The essence and concept of ffany's creations all radiate strong American characteristics: the simple and sharp lines tell the calm and detached clarity and the enchanting elegance. Harmony, proportion and order can be naturally integrated and presented in every ffany design. ffany's design emphasizes excellence, it can get inspiration from all things in nature at will, and leave behind tedious and femininity, just simple and clear, and each masterpiece reflects the innate straightforwardness, optimism and wit of the American people . Tiffany (ffany) soon after its establishment, it designed a blue box with a white ribbon, which became its famous symbol. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Tiffany (ffany) brand used stainless steel jewelry boxes for the first time, and emphasized silver instead of 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 would be re-elected as president. Wearing it at the swearing-in ceremony of Lincoln, after Lincoln set a precedent, other American presidents and foreign heads of state followed suit. 100 years later, another celebrity in American history also walked into Tiffany, wanting to buy a piece of jewelry for his wife, and asked Walter ng, the boss at the time, if he could give the President of the United States a discount? Walter ng replied: "I'm sorry, when Lincoln came, there was no discount." Eisenhower paid the full price wholeheartedly. Tiffany pays attention to high quality and pursues perfection. Later, when almost every president takes office again, he will go to that store to choose a piece of jewelry for his wife, but now the boss there no longer accepts money. But the requirement is that the first lady and their jewelry take a huge photo, so the photo in front of their door is rotated with that of the President of the United States, one after another, although these jewelry have lost millions in these years , but the reputation it brings is immeasurable. There were once collectors who offered a boring price of 35 million yuan to buy the photos of the first lady collected by Tiffany, but they were rejected by the shopkeepers. They thought it was their most precious. assets.

It can be said that the main direction of Tiffany's attack has not been the diamond business, but they have always had the idea of ​​making diamonds bigger, so they approached Li Cong and it seems that they have a new move.

"What's the matter? Listen to me for a long time, do you have any plans? Let me tell you, Tiffany's funds are very strong, and there are huge investors behind them. I don't know who it is. That's right, Fatty knows this very well. They bought a lot of good things at the jadeite auction in Hong Kong this year. People in the industry also observed for a while and found that they spent so much money on jadeite and jadeite. The rough jadeite has not affected their original business at all." Qin Guozhong felt a little uncomfortable wanting to beat this behemoth, his home is not a small jewelry store in Asia, but it is still too poor compared with these world-class ones. Far, although the figures are similar, but my unit here is Hong Kong dollars, and others are boring, five times the gap, and their background and customers are more than myself, this is the most terrible thing .

"Fatty, let's be serious, how much jade did this Tiffany buy and how did they pay for it?" Li Cong kicked Fatty Zhou who was still sleepwalking. two-legged.

Fatty Zhou naturally knew when to speak and when to be stupid. When Li Cong asked about his work, he immediately thought of that hunchbacked American. The behavior of that little old man was still in his mind, "That Tiffany’s little old man is amazing. At that time, we were auctioning ten pieces of emeralds of similar size and color. The value of each piece was between 20 million and 30 million U.S. dollars. With a price increase of 100,000, the old man's first bid went directly to 30 million US dollars, but no one snatched it from him. He bought the second piece with 30 million US dollars, and the transaction prices of the remaining jadeites were all lower than The taller one is taller, and this old man has saved a lot, do you know? They are the protagonists of our fair, and we have sold a total of about 13.5 billion US dollars of jade at this fair, and this old guy alone Just bought 3 billion, more than a quarter, as far as we know, they don’t have that much liquidity.” When it comes to work, the fat man has become a bit serious, compared with diamonds, those emerald transactions It seems to be a small head. Li Cong hoped to see them soon after listening to them. If this large diamond mine with more than ten trillion carats is in his own hands, he really doesn't know where he will go in his life, 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 my own capital chain.

"Hehe, a deal worth billions of dollars can't be considered their biggest deal, just wait, I believe they will give us a price that we all like, well, let's not discuss the rest, let's continue to drink Let's go." After Li Cong finished speaking, he filled up the two guys and drank it all at once. None of the three of them could get up that night. Li Cong didn't control himself, and he was also drunk. When the next day When I woke up, I saw a helicopter in the sky. The representative of Tiffany had arrived. It was the old man with a hunchback. He was the current helm of Tiffany, Taki. Tiffany, in fact, if it wasn’t for Li Cong’s jewelry He will not go to Hong Kong to participate in such a trade fair if he has a relationship with the group. He just needs to find a family behind him. If he comes in person, it means that he is giving Li Cong face.

Li Cong's diamond mine is definitely worth the money. A large number of diamonds have come out in just two days. At least if the old man wants to order, there is absolutely no problem. Diamonds, 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 up an airport here. He had to grind his teeth with the Sequoia people on this matter. He had to convince them that this was a civilian airport. Even if they die, they won't approve it. It seems that we still have to rely on the military adviser. This guy hasn't contacted himself. It seems that his life is not very easy.

"Hello, Mr. Li, let me introduce myself. I'm the boss of Tiffany. Just call me Taki. In fact, according to what you Chinese people say, you should call me old man. I'm not young. It’s not cheap for you.” The old man looked very kind, and he had one thing in common and one difference with those Americans Li Cong had met, and the common point was that the man in front of him was obviously a proficient Chinese speaker and fluent in Chinese. Li Cong is a bit ashamed in Beijing movies. The difference is that he does not have the domineering attitude of those Americans, which makes people feel very comfortable. Such Americans are not very easy to find these days.

"Hehe, you are right. I think we call you old man. It seems very kind. 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 the same as Taishan Beidou." Li Cong has not done flattering for a long time, but in order to quickly exchange these diamonds in his hands, it is better to be humble and say a few words It won't kill anyone.

"I don't think we should stand outside anymore. The weather here is too cold, so we should go inside quickly. The first batch of diamonds came out of my mine today, and I will wait for your old man to come and have a look." In other words, this customer is God’s, so it’s okay to say a few good words to God, maybe you can make a big deal.

"Hehe, okay, refreshing enough, I thought I could see your goods tomorrow, but now it seems that I, an old man, can't keep up with the thinking of you young people, anyway, I'm not too tired to go in and have a look, if If possible, let’s settle the major issues today, and then we’ll gossip.” The old man was also very happy, as he said, the price should be negotiated 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 went back to the room that Qin Guozhong and the two brought yesterday. There are a huge number of shiny diamonds in it. Even the big boss of a jewelry company probably would not have seen so many diamonds. His superiors told After he goes there, he will buy more jewelry. The price will definitely not be too high. He still doesn’t believe that there are the best diamonds everywhere. Now it seems that this is absolutely true. In South Africa, such diamonds can be sold for tens of thousands every year. Carat is not bad, but so much can be produced here in a day, if you don't care about such things, you will be inhuman. The old guy quickly calculated, and after carefully checking the purity of the diamonds, he was just like a few people. When he arrived at the rest area, he didn't walk fast all the way, because he knew that he would start talking about business after sitting down, and he was not ready yet.

"How about it, old man, the goods I have here are very good, right?" Li Cong said to the old man with a cup of coffee. Although the old man said that he was not very tired just now, Li Cong can tell that he is such an old man. , if you're not tired right now, that's hell.

The old man shouted gratefully at Li Cong and smiled, he was always going to die if he refused to accept it, look at his young staff officers, they are all fine, it's just that his body can't stand it anymore, I don't want to insist I came here, but if I am sure, I can enter the diamond industry in a big way, and it is relatively stable compared with Africa, so I have to come here for the first time, and I am very satisfied with the result after I came Yes, the sex is good, and the advantages of good goods are beyond my imagination.

"Your goods are quite good, I think we will become good partners." The old man smiled and shook hands with Li Cong, but his mind was on a news released by the Ministry of Commerce just now, as of November 2041 Sales of jewelry and watches in the United States reached $450 billion, up 12.5 percent from the same period last year. According to the commercial data of the U.S. Department of Commerce, in November 2041, jewelry commodities rebounded strongly after experiencing a trough. The profit of jewelry sales in November was 41%, and jewelry sales increased by 8.9 percentage points. However, the strong upward momentum has not had a big impact on jewelry sales, mainly for the following two reasons: merchants such as kay, ffany, which mainly retail jewelry, are losing market share, as opposed to, such as wal-mart , , . penney and other merchants with multiple sales channels saw their sales soar 15.4 percent in December. From the perspective of annual sales, the sales in December 2041 showed a downward trend, accounting for 19.3% of the annual jewelry sales, and the sales in December 2040 were 19.7%. As the economy slowly accelerates, U.S. jewelry and watch sales are projected to show growth of around 6% in 2052, provided U.S. price inflation for cut diamonds and heavy metals remains moderate.

"Mr. Li, please forgive me. At the beginning, I didn't expect that there would be so many high-quality diamonds here. Although the US economy is in recession now, and the number of people who buy jewelry is still declining, that is for ordinary people. In terms of jewelry, such as those rich people, it is impossible for them to become very poor because of a period of recession. This is impossible. In their view, even if they lose hundreds of millions of dollars, they can buy Jewelry worth millions of dollars is not a problem, so what I want to order are absolutely high-end diamonds, that is, the ones on your table just now, I will give you a price, think about it, we are a long-term cooperation, if possible If so, I will ask for such a sum every month in the future, 700 million US dollars, which is one month's worth, and at the end of the year because there is Christmas, I will ask for two months' worth, I don't know what Mr. Li thinks about it?" The old man said with a smile, during the conversation, he decided to buy and sell nearly 10 billion gold per year. If it gets out, it may be the biggest diamond deal this year.

Li Cong glanced at the old man. To be honest, the price he gave was not very high, but it was slightly higher than Qin Guozhong's, but the sincerity he gave was very good. There were nearly tens of billions of dollars in the whole year. , although their turnover is over 100 billion U.S. dollars every year, not all of them are diamonds. They bought a lot of their own jadeites a while ago, and they sold them after reselling them. Li Cong shook hands with him with a smile. This contract Even if it is settled, verbal contracts are still very useful when some big shots decide things.

"I remember that in the past, you had a lyric that pays rent. Friends come and have good wine. Now our contract is basically finalized. Do we have good wine?" The old man really knows a lot about China, Li Cong nodded with a smile and asked Karelina to bring a few glasses of good wine. These are indeed good wines. Li Cong never used those wines from Europe. He knew that the things he created by himself must not be as good as those in Europe. Those red wines are different in the eyes of Americans. They feel that the best wine in the world may come from the Li Cong Group. No matter what it is, they like it, so Li Cong took out the p6 Alcohol, there are only 70,000 bottles of this kind of thing in the world every year, which is already very good. If they take too much, they will be suspicious.

"Old man, this bottle of wine was rewarded to me when I made contributions to the group, and I have never been willing to drink it. Today, we hit it off and drank together." Li Cong said with a smile, and the few people next to him People want to laugh at the moment but dare not laugh. This guy doesn’t even blush when he tells a lie. What rewards you from above? You can have as many things as you want.

"Haha, Mr. Li is indeed a member of the first family. He is courageous. I am lucky today, old man. In fact, I have been looking for this kind of wine all the time, but you also know that your group sells so little every year. It doesn't matter how much it is. A few days ago, I heard that someone was selling it on the black market. I asked my younger generation to go and have a look. Who knew that before it passed, someone called and said, "Steel King's family sold it for 3.5 million US dollars. Bought two bottles, you said I am so depressed, I am really right to come here.” This guy is not ambiguous at all when speaking Chinese, and he uses some colloquial words very well, Li Cong Seeing the old man staring at his wine bottle when he was talking, he didn't want to talk too much, just picked it up and drank it quickly.

Of course, the few attendants next to me are not so lucky. It would be bad if such a good thing makes them feel that they can supply it in unlimited quantities. In fact, such a limited edition is said to be tens of thousands of bottles a year. If you take it out as a gift, you have to have that number. As long as it is not too overdone, no one will be able to see it. Besides, if someone mentions it, just say it is fake wine. Let’s talk about their cost technology It's really amazing.

After everyone had a few drinks, Qin Guozhong and Zhou Fatty looked at the old guy who obviously wanted to talk to Li Cong, and both of them left under the pretext of having something to do, and his assistants also went out at this time. Li knew that this formal negotiation started now.

"Mr. Li, I actually have other ideas when I come here this time. I don't know what Mr. Li thinks of the jewelry market in Europe?" Sure enough, he is waiting for him here. If Li Cong feels that he has guessed correctly, this The old guy probably wants to join forces with me to do some business in Europe. Of course, I have the same ideas as you. Who doesn't want to earn money for nothing? My army is like a gold-swallowing beast, and I just spent three trillion U.S. dollars. If I don't earn it back quickly, I will feel uncomfortable.

"Hehe, the old man should be very familiar with the jewelry market in Europe. I don't know much about these, so I think it's better for you to give me a plan for how to cooperate." Li Cong said this To be honest, I really don't know how to invest in things there, especially in industries such as jewelry. Although the jewelry group under the energy group has already landed in Europe, the effect achieved can only be maintained. If there is no If the jade is supported, it may lose money.

Different countries in the Europa region have different jewelry consumption habits and characteristics. Jewelry exporters should design jewelry products suitable for local needs according to the unique markets and fashion trends of these countries. I have also studied this energy group, but there are not many people who understand it. This old gentleman is an absolute expert, and his turnover in Europe is not comparable to his own.

France occupies the third place in the EU's jewelry market consumption. In jewelry sales, gold jewelry accounted for 52%; diamond jewelry accounted for 38%; platinum jewelry and silver jewelry accounted for 5% and 1% respectively. In the market, neck ornaments and wrist ornaments are the best sellers. Ordinary jewelry tends to combine gray metals with pearls, or inlaid jewelry with colored gemstones such as peridot, blue topaz, topaz and garnet. Jewelry made by combining gemstones of different colors or metals and other materials was also very popular.

Italy: has the largest jewelry market among EU countries. Gold jewelry accounts for the largest proportion of the Italian jewelry market, and lighter hollow styles such as hoop earrings, necklaces, rings and platinum wedding rings are the most popular. Italian women gravitate toward larger pieces. Inlaid jewelry is mainly group-set, while platinum jewelry prefers "new classic" design. Those low-priced and national-style jewelry are also very popular in Italy. In addition to paying special attention to original designs, they also prefer higher-grade crystals and small metal discs in material selection.

Germany: Occupies 13% of EU jewelry market consumption. Since most of the jewelry imported into the country comes from German factories in Eastern Europe and Asia, the production cost is relatively low, and the retail price in the market is low. At present, people tend to buy low-priced jewelry such as sterling silver, costume jewelry and semi-precious stones.

Spain: The total consumption value of jewelry accounts for 7% of the total consumption value of the EU market. Gold jewelry accounts for 42% of the total value of the entire jewelry market, of which 18k gold jewelry is the most popular. In terms of categories, diamonds, pearls, sapphires, rubies and emeralds set with 50-point sizes are the most popular.

"Mr. Li, your energy group jewelry group has 39 chain stores in various regions of Europe, and I only have seven, but my turnover still exceeds yours. These are facts. You always like to do things right away. In fact, this is a wrong way of thinking. We are in the jewelry industry, so we want to make our own brand. In fact, I still have a relationship with Harry Winston, who ranks first on this point. There is a big gap. They have much fewer stores around the world than we do, but their profits are not less than mine, or even much more than mine. This is the business route they take, and we need to change it too. "The old man was also observing Li Cong when he was talking. People in the energy group generally don't like others to say that they can't do things. If that's the case, they probably won't be able to do business. However, Li Cong thought carefully about what others said at the moment. Isn’t that what it is like to run a business by yourself? No matter what, he first opened various stores around the world with a lot of money, occupying a lot of his own funds, of course. It is also useful to do it. For example, your real estate is growing rapidly. If you have money and don’t spend it, it can only depreciate in your own hands. Sometimes real estate will depreciate, but more often it is in the Appreciated.

For example, Li Cong's store in downtown Paris has an annual turnover of less than seven million euros, which is a small profit of hundreds of thousands of euros. 9,500 euros per square meter, but two years have passed, and someone has offered to buy it at 23,000 euros, and the value has appreciated a lot in two years, so Li Cong's point of view is that no matter what, just spread it out. Anyway, I have enough money. Otherwise, they can only wait for depreciation. Of course, these words cannot be said by themselves.

"The old man is right. Is our cooperation in Europe going to change?" Li Cong thought of something, but it needs to be confirmed.

"That's right, my idea is this, we can pick out the more powerful stores under yours and mine to form a new group, expand them vigorously, and make them the flagship stores of European jewelry. In the jewelry industry, As long as there is no problem with the investment, then we can reap huge profits. I have calculated that the size of the four stores must be more than 3,000 square meters, and the various expenses of each store need to be more than 100 million US dollars. , this has not counted their goods, if the goods are included, the four stores will cost tens of billions of dollars, I wonder if Mr. Li can give me an accurate statement." The old guy thought that Li Cong might not be able to do it Lord, although he is a member of the Li family, such a young person in power is still rare. I hope to give both parties a leeway, and it would be good for Li Cong to ask the higher-ups for instructions.

"Hehe, don't worry about this old man. Our group is a family business. I believe you know that I am in charge of the jewelry business in this family. I am very satisfied with this old man's plan. Do you know where the four stores we are going to open are located?" Li Cong knew that one of the reasons why he proposed to cooperate with the four stores was business reasons, and the other was because he was afraid that a large group like the energy group would have such troubles.

"I also have an idea about this. What about Milan, Paris, London and St. Petersburg? I know you will definitely want the other three. Maybe you will ask me why St. Petersburg." Seeing Li Cong nodded, he continued, "This There are more and more rich people in Russia, and their economy has problems in the past and now, and the consequence of this problem is that the gap between the rich and the poor has widened.” This old guy seems to be really interested in jewelry. The group researched very deeply, and even got the information of some rich people very clearly.

"Finance" magazine said that Russia's strong economic growth in recent years has prompted a sharp increase in the number of billionaires in Russia. Today, there are 411 billionaires worth more than US$1 billion, a four-fold increase in five years. The "Caijing" list shows that many of the top rich people are involved in the metal industry. In 2007, the price of metals soared, and the top four billionaires all benefited from it. In addition, Alexey Mordashov, the stock owner of Russia's Northern Iron and Steel Company, also took advantage of the "east wind" of rising steel prices to take the fifth spot on the "Finance" list, with a personal wealth of 22.1 billion US dollars . Ural-Siberia Bank's decision-maker Weaver said on the 19th: "Although the economy in other fields has grown, it can still be seen through this list that Russia's economic growth depends on rising commodity prices." The St. Petersburg Times said, The wealth of Russia's 500 richest people tripled in five years to $1,716 billion, more than half of Russia's gross domestic product last year.

Unlike the rich descendants of European aristocrats and the real estate family rich in the United States, the billionaires in Russia are all "upstarts" who have just made their fortunes. Most were in their 40s, married with at least two children and at least one mistress. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, they got rich by using unique vision and pungent means to quickly grasp the country's resources. They are all workaholics, working 18 hours a day to prosper their wealth empire. Their wealth is not based on production, but on the development and sale of the country's rich mineral resources. The iron ore and steel industry created the most rich people, and their wealth is also the most considerable, followed by metal mining, processing and forest logging. They are generous and spend money like water; they pay attention to ostentation, and they must be seen when they have money. They believe that spending hard and living extravagantly will fully reflect their success. It is a dream for them to open such a high-end jewelry store in St. Petersburg, and what these people like most is collecting diamonds, which can be seen from the treasure house Li Cong found.

In fact, these rich people also spend a lot of money internationally, because their money is easier to come by than other people. In the 1980s of the last world, they were not much different from other people, but in the 1990s In the 1900s, when the country declined, they became rich, and one by one became rich overnight. In the most luxurious jewelry store in Paris, they can often buy things like Chinese cabbage. A Russian The super rich once bought tens of millions of dollars in diamonds and took them back to their homes.
