064 The Infighting Diamond Dealer
"No matter who comes, our requirements will not be reduced. China Star does have nothing to do with the subsequent businesses..." Qian Yiduo closed the notebook and said indifferently. "The buyer's commission must also be paid to us. If you can accept such conditions, this cooperation will be completely achieved! Moreover, we do not accept any additional conditions."
Originally, he thought that the other party would not agree to such a condition.
Although the agency contract was signed, it was obviously a problem. Robles did not reduce the commission for such a valuable auction item, which was completely incompatible with international practice.
As for why neither party proposed the entrusted agreement before, Robles believed that the Chinese did not understand the tricks. After all, they were two young people, and they needed Sotheby's resources and channels; and when they had too much money, they were Li Rui who was deliberately trying to cheat them.
Pay a penalty for liquidated damages?
This is not a problem. Sotheby's doesn't care about the penalty at all. After all, such expensive diamonds don't bring only direct economic benefits.
Once the auction is withdrawn, as long as you communicate with other auction houses, the other party will be happy to help them compensate for these liquidated damages.
So, at this time, neither party mentioned the breach of contract, not to mention that Sotheby's promise to keep the customer confidential, which is also their obligation and responsibility. The Chinese obviously grabbed their braids.
When the money is high, Sotheby's people will not be allowed to use this auction to propose any conditions, as this will only allow them to gain a lot of benefits later.
"Mr. Qian, our president and chairman will arrive here soon. I believe that Sotheby's will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Roberts was furious in his heart, but there was no sign of his expression on his face.
He didn't have much confidence in just persuading the other party.
"I hope so. If an agreement cannot be reached, then..." Qian Yiduo did not continue to say anything.
Robles left with a nervous look before getting Li Rui's promise. Even so, he arranged for people to stare at these two Chinese people. If he contacted other people, he had to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.
"Don't you have to accompany your girlfriend?" Qian Yiduo couldn't help but feel speechless when he saw Li Rui staying in his room and staying silent. It was easy for two men to be together to cause misunderstandings.
"She is busy with her business. She will come here to participate in the auction with us tomorrow..." Li Rui didn't seem to care about what others think.
Qian Yiduo had no choice but to ask him to go back to his room, but Li Rui didn't care at all and still stayed here, "You can do whatever you want, do you want me to call you a few beauties who provide special services? What kind of skin, no problem in any country..."
"..." The helpless money Yiduo could only return to his computer when he didn't exist.
Li Rui cleverly did not get close to Qian Yiduo. Why did he keep the room with Qian Yiduo? He would never tell Qian Yiduo.
Just an hour later, Zheng Qiao knocked on the door in the next room, but received no response. Soon Li Rui's cell phone rang. She told Zheng Qiao that she and Qian Yiduo were talking to someone outside, and she didn't know when she would go back. Then she called the guest house department and asked them to help open the door...
"You don't want a beautiful woman to come to your door. Is there any problem?" Qian Yiduo finally understood why Li Rui was so arrogant and wanted to stay in his room. This guy is also a weird guy. The woman came to the door on his own initiative and refused to accept it. Could it be...
Thinking of this, Qian Yiduo suddenly became alert and his eyes revealed deep alert.
Seeing him staring at him like this, Li Rui rolled his eyes, "Brother's sexual orientation is fine! You won't understand some things even if you tell you. I'll sleep on your sofa tonight, you can do whatever you want..."
"How can I find a lady here?" Qian Yiduo was angry.
"Don't worry, just act like I don't exist." Li Rui's face was thick enough, and this was definitely incomparable to the amount of money.
It is also the Four Seasons Hotel, and in another luxurious presidential suite, there are many people sitting in the reception room. People of different ages and skins have the same similarity and a sense of a superior.
Now no one speaks, just quietly drinking coffee or smoking a cigar.
"Everyone, it is not a solution to keep silent like this. We must unify our opinions. Such diamonds should be in our hands, not in the hands of those damn jewelers!" Oren, who had contacted Li Rui, spoke first.
The three major diamond dealers sat together.
The discovery of this world's number one giant diamond can cause very serious consequences for them.
Just because this diamond comes from China!
Under their blockade, not to mention the world, not even China itself, not many people know that they produce diamonds in China and have the largest diamond reserves in the world.
China has always had no way to make any move because there was not much famous diamonds. The 4C standard, which is the basis of diamond value, was formulated by them. The international market blockade and the influx of a large number of diamonds from Africa and South America into the Chinese market have made it impossible for China's diamond mining companies to expand their mining scale, and most of the mining is used in industry.
Now, after the world's number one giant diamond from China, the three major appraisal centers have firmly established themselves, except for the uncut yet, the others are the top standards.
"Either Sotheby's or Chinese who own diamonds, they will not agree to conduct private transactions with us. It is very likely that after the auction is completed, they will make a lot of publicity, and it will be difficult for us to suppress Chinese diamonds..." Jonathan also said, "In the face of the benefits brought by such diamonds, it is difficult for gem merchants who have been working closely with us."
All relationships between businessmen are linked by interests.
"Indeed, as long as you have this diamond, those jewelers will no longer be as polite to us as before!" Diarros Hausen, executive vice president of Petra, wrote a sad face. "All our diamonds have always been a collection of charges, in terms of price..."
Needless to explain, everyone knows it.
Although they are three different companies, their prices are related to their interests. In this regard, no one has done anything wrong. Competition cannot be ruled out, and cooperation cannot be missed.
After all, at its peak, De Beers controlled more than 90 supply in the entire world.
Petra and the Russian Orosa are both competitors, especially Orosa. The world's largest reserve diamond mine was discovered in Russia. Although it has not yet been fully confirmed whether this news is true, the Russians obviously used this opportunity to hype their diamonds, which made Russian diamonds occupy a large share in the world's diamond supply.
Niolovsky looked at the two competitors who had been pressing their hands, handing them over to his mouth from time to time, and then sprayed a smoke ring.
"Niolovsky, what do you mean?" His attitude made De Beers' Oren a little angry. "We are now discussing issues related to the development of the entire diamond industry! The market is only so big. Should we let the Chinese come in and get a share of the pie? It's already very good to let you come in."
De Beers' business is shrinking.
As artificial diamonds and Russian diamonds entered the market in large quantities, they had to shut down numerous diamond mines.
Niolovsky sprayed out a big smoke ring and then said, "Can this be stopped now? Sotheby's obviously knows our situation. Before Petra's diamonds were auctioned through Christie's... You are also helping to suppress Sotheby's. Now, they don't know where their customers are. If you weren't too greedy at the beginning, as for this situation, it would have happened? Diamonds over 5,000 carats are bigger than the African Star, and you are so generous that you only offer a price of 100 million US dollars!"
For Russians, they do not care about the emergence of the large number of diamonds in China.
After hundreds of years of mining, the cost of diamond mines in Africa has increased, and the output has also been much lower.
The appearance of Chinese diamonds is at worst the price of diamonds is reduced. Orosa, which owns a huge diamond mine, doesn’t care at all.
Their share is really too small now.
"If I were you, either I wouldn't give you money and just ask someone to kill them! Or I would show sincerity. What do you want us to do now? Help you pay for the money and take pictures, and then continue to blockade?" Niolovsky's voice was not loud, but it was full of murderous intent.
How many Russian rich people are clean?
Oren's face became gloomy, and even the people from Petra's company had bad looks.
Petra is not because of the rudeness of the polar bears, but because De Beers wants them to share the cost of the auction.
To put it nicely, it is to protect the entire diamond industry, but what about it?
Even though De Beers' business shrinks, it still controls the global market share of 61.3 so far!
"What do you want, whatever you want, I just come to see the fun and see what the diamond in China is like. I heard that the beauties here in Xiangjiang are good, so I have to go and see and say goodbye..." Niolovsky didn't care about the reactions of others at all, and stood up and walked outside.
Among diamond dealers, he is the youngest.
So far, he is only in his forties and still single, and this is the real diamond five.
