Energy Group

1435 Diamond

The results of the bombing will naturally be seen quickly. The entire battlefield is full of flames. Of course, this is just the beginning. The Bolan people immediately lost their morale as high as before. At this moment, they all seemed It's the same eggplant that Frost beats. At this moment, if Hua can regret killing them, they won't come here. Even after the bombing, there were deserters, but the observers of the energy group saw the big The Russian side is a little different.#_

"Have you noticed Andrep? There seems to be something wrong with this matter." Li Min has been calculating for a whole day, and the people in the base don't know what this guy is doing, and Andrep also doesn't know. He spent the whole day calculating Bolan's losses.

"Of course I found out. Of course something is wrong. I think if the air raid continues on Hua, the ground troops will probably retreat without having to come over. These young masters don't have the ambition they had when they came here. I feel that this is not the place they should come to. I heard that the military camps over there have started shooting and fleeing.” Andreup thought that Li Min was talking about this problem. Do you need to talk about it? If you don't intervene, you may have bigger problems, or you may collapse.

"No, I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about Great Russia. Today they dispatched so many planes. According to our observations, there are thousands of sorties. I calculated this initially. This is tens of thousands of tons. Bombs, some of them are the latest cluster bombs. This is not a joke. There are even some ceramic bombs in it. When did Great Russia become so rich? How could they be so generous? Last time we In the coastal border area, these things have not appeared. I would never believe that the important xing here is more important than the Primorye Territory." Li Min said with the data in his hand, if he didn’t say that everyone hadn’t I found out that the attention of a few people in the room was attracted right now. This kid was right. When did Great Russia become so rich? Didn’t they just lose a lot of money at the beginning of the year? How come there is money?

"They haven't had any large-scale exports recently. Could it be that something happened in the territory, but our intelligence department in Great Russia didn't get anything. I don't think we need to report it for the time being. Let's see what happens tomorrow. "An old intelligence analyst thought for a while and said, after all, for a large organization like Great Russia, tens of thousands of tons of bombs are thrown every day, and a large-scale investigation cannot be started because of such an anomaly. It's okay if something happens, if it's all right, it's only you who will lose, and you might even hang up your brother who is engaged in intelligence. This is something that happened before.

"I don't think until tomorrow, there will be results today." A voice came in from the men. It was Li Xian, the commander of the Bolan Occupation Army. He should be in Bolan now. Why did he go to the front line directly? What?Is something really wrong?

"All stand at attention?" With the voice of the guard, the dozens of officers in the room stood at attention.

"Everyone, please rest. I am coming in an urgent matter. The group has received news. The Great Russian Government has just announced an economic revitalization plan with a total of 400 billion U.S. dollars. It also implements new measures for new residents in Central Asia. The subsidy policy is almost the same as ours. The group has already started a large-scale investigation. We will also report our situation to see what happened. I believe it will be helpful to the Ministry of Intelligence. "Li Xian sat down and said, his words made everyone start to wonder. What Li Xian said is basically the truth. 400 billion US dollars is not a small amount for the group, but for Great Russia. This is an astronomical figure, but why can they still get it out?

"The report shows that the intelligence of the Ministry of Railways of Great Russia shows that they are stepping up to carry a large number of weapons and ammunition to the front line. The total value is more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. It has almost emptied several large arsenals in the European part of Great Russia. These Bolan people in front can't stop them anymore." A combat staff officer came in with an emergency message, which made the officers in the room shocked. Great Russia seems to have really benefited from it. It is easy for the billion-dollar weapons and bombs to reimburse the hundreds of thousands of Bolan miscellaneous troops. Now the energy group has to re-make its combat plan.

"Commander, I think we are going to retreat overnight. We must establish a new line of defense on the border of Boran. I think our best result is to maintain Boran's independence." Li Min, this guy It’s not just that he can do business, he also sees the situation very clearly at critical times. For example, at this time, he sees everything clearly. At this time, something must be discarded. With this billions of weapons bombing. There must be a large number of troops coming over. The Boran army is definitely unreliable. Although Boran now has hundreds of thousands of energy group troops, they can only help defend Boran, and they are definitely not allowed to reach the territory of Great Russia. Come up, the two are definitely different.

"Commander, Li Min is right. There are only a thousand people in the barracks of our observation group. It is too dangerous here. No one can guarantee that they will not air raid our place. I think you'd better go back quickly. "Andrepu also said, other people also feel right, their group is strong, but at this moment, their ability in this place is not so strong.

"Hehe, you are scared by little things. We still don’t know what kind of country Great Russia is. This is a country that is ineffective and will never do anything. We have to be careful. I’m so worried. I’m here for another reason. The Bolan defenders have just found a gold reserve. There are 900 tons of gold there. We have to take away these things. These were originally from Great Russia and Russia. Europa’s trade settled, now we’ll take it away directly. Of course, the Bolan people are required to do the work. We are not robbers. The military department has to be replaced with the latest amphibious tanks. The gold is valuable. Hundreds of billions of renminbi, we can use hundreds of thousands of military vehicles to pay for it." Li Xian can come once for the 900 tons of gold, but only halfway through the great changes in Great Russia. But you can't forget this matter. Several officers laughed loudly. After a few minutes, they quickly started to tidy up everything here. Now is definitely not the time to laugh. Maybe tomorrow this place will be a waste area.

There is a big problem with Bolan’s military intelligence. They don’t even know how the Great Russia before them is different from before. They think the financial situation of Great Russia is similar to them, so they think such a bombing. It may only be a few days. They have prepared enough air defense dongs. It doesn’t matter if they have any more bombs. Besides, the bridge on the river has been blown up, and they will have to come over for a while. Well, besides, I haven’t heard that hundreds of thousands of troops can be killed by bombing. Besides, behind me is my own country. I just can’t go back. There are hundreds of thousands of troops waiting on the border, so Those Bolan people saw that the air raid was no longer going on, and they started the life they like again. They can enjoy it for a while, otherwise, the bomb will not recognize you.

So when the energy group retreated, they did not follow it. Instead, they felt that the energy group’s army was not a real army at all. Some bombs could not be blown up. How could this work? The army should bear all kinds of things. In such a situation, no one knows that they are really looking for death.

The next day, the energy group’s people had retreated to the territory of Bolan. It turned out that the army on the territory of Belarus could be regarded as the end, and the fighting was the same as the previous day, but compared with the bombing of the previous day, it was still a little different. Today’s is even more. It's fierce. The bombs and shells are coming here as if they don’t need money. Now the dead are gone. Compared with yesterday, it seems to be two grades. Soon. The prevention and control facilities they temporarily found were no longer effective. The number of dead people surprised everyone. They underestimated the capabilities of modern warfare weapons. Maybe these hundreds of thousands of people will really live here.

After six hours of saturation bombing, it seems that less than one-third of the Bo Lan soldiers can stand up. At this moment, they all know the cruelty of the war. They don’t need to order from above, and bring what they can bring. I rushed back to Bolan ten times faster than before. Originally, the energy group and the Americans thought that they could use the Bolan people to consume Great Russia, but now I saw that they seemed to be playing a real game. This is simply not something Boran can resist. The Americans, energy groups and Europa have begun to meet. The top leaders of the three parties met at the headquarters of the energy group. If Great Russia really wants to annex hua in Boran, this It’s not a trivial matter anymore. Originally, the Americans and energy groups didn’t want Europa to participate. After all, one more family means one more business. But now that you see such a fierce attack on Great Russia, if you don’t understand it, you will have to eat more in the future. Loss.<Understanding the reason why Great Russia rushes to make so much money, this is a very big secret, and that is diamonds.

According to a report from the Investigation Department of the Energy Group on the same day, Russia recently discovered a huge diamond mine.The mine is located in a crater with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers in eastern Siberia. The reserves are estimated to exceed one trillion carats, which can meet the needs of the global gem market for 3000 years.

Scientists say that this crater, called "popigai", has a history of more than 35 million years, and the amount of diamonds under it is estimated to be ten times the sum of diamond reserves in other parts of the world.Russia has concealed this discovery before in order to prevent the price of diamonds from being crushed and harm its own diamond industry interests.And they don’t have enough energy to mine. Now they started here because Li Congnon’s red cedar tree was going bankrupt. They thought it was secret, but where are the tens of thousands of people including mining workers? It is so easy to keep secrets, and energy groups can get news quickly.

The diamonds of "Perpiguet" are also called "impact diamonds", which are formed after objects similar to meteorites hit existing diamond mines.Its hardness is twice that of ordinary gemstones, so its application value in industry and scientific research is particularly high.The director of the Novosibirsk Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, which was captured by the energy group, said that the new resources may have a greater impact on the gem market."We are talking about trillions of carats. In comparison, the Yakutia diamond mine in Russia, which is familiar to the public, has only 1 billion carats. Moreover, impact diamonds are valuable because of their unique surface and larger volume. higher."

Russia's diamond production reached its peak in 37 years, valued at US dollars, and 98% of its products are exported to Belgium, Israel, the United States and Southeast Asia.However, due to the economic crisis, its diamond output fell to the bottom in 39 years, and its output value was only US dollars.At present, the world economy has shown signs of recovery. This may be the reason why the Russian authorities chose to start mining this thing now.

The former Soviet Union is famous for its diamond production.As early as the 1950s, the world-famous "Peace" diamond pit was discovered in the city of Mirny, Yakutia Republic, located in the hinterland of Siberia.For more than half a century, several mines here and nearby have contributed 23% of the world’s total diamonds, earning at least US$1.7 trillion for the former Soviet Union and Russia, but the money is estimated to be in that treasure house. , The money may have been taken away by Li Congqi.<The entrance is 1,600 meters in diameter and about 533 meters deep, which is equivalent to 161 stories high, which is 25 meters more than the 508 meters tallest building in the world, Taipei 101.It is said that the air turbulence caused by the big dong will suck in the aircraft above.The winter temperature in dong made the lubricant freeze, and the machine was cracked.

It was not until 11 years ago that the Mirnet mine was closed due to a sharp decline in production and safety factors.Compared with the newly discovered "Peppiguet Diamond Field", the "Peace" mine is simply not worth mentioning.

Speaking of these mineral resources, Li Cong will never be soft. If such a big thing is occupied by Great Russia, it will be fine. But Li Cong knows that this is just his own eyes. I really want to shake this big Russia. If the money comb comes to Nong, it is estimated that it will be a real fight, but how much is 10 trillion carats of diamonds?Great Russia does not have its own diamond sales channels, so he can only get so little profit. Because of the business of jadeite, the energy group has its own jewelry sales network all over the world, and also has its own team in design and other aspects. If this diamond mine is in your own hands, it can definitely bring you trillions of dollars in profits every year. It is estimated that other jewelers will not do anything.

When Li Cong met Robert of Europa and Hank, the rotating chairman of the Skull and Bones, he found that these two people also knew the latest news of Great Russia. This is not an ordinary thing. It is estimated that these two people have also begun to worry about it. The three become tigers. , As long as you are worried about this matter, it will be easy to handle. If you are the only one, it is estimated that these two people will definitely pull their own post-tui, then it is really difficult to handle.

The use of valuable stones like diamonds dates back thousands of years. The rulers of many ancient civilizations used processed gemstones to show people their wealth and status. Diamonds also represent power and reputation.Many rich people and celebrities around the world wear diamonds, and many nvs around the world can receive a diamond ring when they agree to a man’s proposal.This is also an important reason why the price of diamonds in the world has skyrocketed. In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing is a kind of stone, just like Li Cong's hype about jade back then. It is necessary to make the stone more expensive than gold in order to make money. of.

Diamonds are mined underground, cut, polished, and sold all over the world at high prices.South Africa is the most famous diamond supplier in the world.For a long time, people have mined diamond ore from deep underground places. This is a very dangerous job, but at present, technological advancement has provided great help for the mining of diamond ore.

Millions of years ago, carbon elements formed diamonds under extreme high temperature and pressure more than 100 kilometers below the surface of the earth. These rocks formed deep in the earth were brought to the surface or shallow parts of the earth by volcanic activity. Most of the magma is produced in a rock tube, so it is commonly called "pipe ore" (or primary ore).This kind of original rock is called Kimberlite, the name comes from a place name in South Africa called Kimberley, where diamonds were discovered in the 19th century.De Beers bought the Kimberley Mine and soon became the largest mining company in South Africa.De Beers employs thousands of employees in South Africa.In the late twentieth century, the company improved mining conditions and rewarded the company’s profits in the form of shares to employees.What people don’t know is that more than ten years ago, the energy group has penetrated into Kimberley in various forms, and the jewelry company of the energy group has also become an important shareholder of Kimberley. From this point of view, if Great Russia produces a large amount of diamonds, The biggest loss among the three giants is Li Cong.

Antwerp, Belgium, on the other side of the world is the world's largest diamond trading center.Philip Klass is the Secretary General of the Antwerp World Diamond Trade Center.He said: "80% of the world's diamond mao and 50% of the processed diamonds are traded in Antwerp. This figure means that the annual trade volume of the Antwerp Diamond Trade Center is as high as more than 400 billion US dollars."

The weight and value of a diamond are expressed in carats. One carat is equal to 0 milligrams. In addition to carats indicating weight and color, the value of a carved diamond also comes from its purity and cutting level, that is, the polished shape of the diamond. And quality.There used to be about 25,000 people in Antwerp who were engaged in diamond cutting and polishing. Now, only a few hundred people are still engaged in this job. The Belgian diamond cutters lost their jobs and replaced them with Indians because they needed very high wages. less.

It is estimated that the global diamond trade is as high as 80 billion US dollars a year. Diamonds help some countries develop their economies. It provides jobs for many people in the world's poorest countries.However, diamonds are also used to support wars, oppress people and maintain dictatorships.

South Africa’s diamond mining industry is innocent, and mining machines have provided great help to workers.But this is not always the case in other parts of Africa. In Africa, more than one million people are looking for diamonds. They dig in deep pits or rivers with their hands. They earn less than one dollar a day.In recent years, armed forces and rebel groups in some countries have used diamonds as their military expenditures for fighting civil wars.In countries such as Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Sierra Leone, countless civilians were killed and wounded in the conflict.So these gems are called "conflict diamonds" or "blood diamonds".Li Cong has greatly contributed to this, and this is no way. If he needs to control Africa, he has to let the entire African war start, otherwise he really doesn't have that ability.

Global Witness is a non-political organization that calls for global attention to this issue.Anne Dunnbaker said that the purpose of this organization is to show people the tragedy caused by conflict diamonds.She said that Sierra Leone is the most serious country in this regard. In the 1990s, hundreds of thousands of people died in the civil war. Rebel forces cut off the hands and tui of innocent people and forced children to fight.The Revolutionary United Front controls the eastern part of Sierra Leone, which is the main diamond-producing area, and diamonds are the economic source of war.According to reports, it is correct to associate such wars with diamonds.

Two years ago, there was a movie "Bloody Diamond" that attracted people's attention to this issue.What this movie reflects is a story that took place during the Sierra Li Civil War.Leonardo DiCaprio starred as a man who sold weapons to rebels in exchange for diamonds. He was involved in the chase for a rare and precious pink diamond, but in the end, he gave up With this diamond, they repelled the rebels and helped others to understand the legal diamond trade.Witnesses around the world are consultants for the film, and Anne Dunnbaker said that the film had an impact on the public.

Anne Dunnbaker: "I think Hollywood delivers this message to the audience far more than our reports can deliver to readers, and it is also very valuable."

International pressure has forced the diamond industry to take action in an effort to stop the trade in blood diamonds.In 2003, the United Nations developed the Kimberley Process Certificate, which requires member states to provide proof that diamonds do not contain blood diamonds in import and export.Tom Dewedi, a spokesperson for De Beers, the world's largest producer of diamond mao billets, said that the Kimberley Process certificate is an important step to stop the bloody diamond trade.He said: "We have a system, although it is not perfect yet, it may be the only acceptable system in the world."

Philip Krass of the World Diamond Center said that before the implementation of the Kimberley Process Certificate, conflict diamonds accounted for 4% to 15% of global diamond mao rough trade volume. Now, conflict diamonds only account for 0.2% of diamond mao rough trade volume. .However, Anne Dunnbaker said that some diamonds were illegally transferred in some African countries.Li Cong knows this best. At least the diamonds sold in the Jewelry Store of the Energy Group do not have too many formal procedures.

Experts say that diamonds are not only precious gems, but can also cause trouble to the world. For example, more than 90% of rubies originate from Burma. Burma Pimenger Zhengfu controls the sales of gems in this country. This trade makes the soldiers The government can maintain its power.Human rights activists are working hard to increase restrictions on the ruby ​​trade in Burma. Human rights activists hope that people can ask more questions when they buy these jewelry.It's just that such organizations often feel powerless when facing huge sales networks of energy groups.

Office of the Chairman of the Energy Group Board of Directors (President’s Office is now Li Er’s)

"Hehe, two of them haven't come to me for a long time. I believe that the two of Hua who don't have this huge diamond mine will not come?" Li Cong and his son met the visiting Mr. Robert and Mr. Robert and his son in the office. President Hank, in fact, this is mainly for Robert. The Skull and Bones now has a rotating president system, so one boss a year has little to do with him, but the necessary courtesy are still needed, but Robert ate it. Li Cong has suffered such a big loss. Now Nong’s interior is still unstable. If I didn’t want to use Li Cong’s power to prestige Russia, I wouldn’t have come here. This is simply a devil.

Anyway, Li Er himself is qualified to negotiate with these two guys when he goes out, but he has his own laozi here, so he doesn’t have to speak for himself, so Li Er cleverly helped these big guys. After pouring the wine, I watched it on the sidelines. Learning experience is also very important at this time.

"Mr. Li is really joking. Now it's different from before. If you want to sit down with Mr. Li, you have to have enough qualifications. Our Europa doesn't seem to have such qualifications anymore." Naturally, Robert would not give way to words. For Li Cong, Hanke is in his forties. Although he was a bit dissatisfied with the energy group’s practices in Europa a while ago, if he continues to talk to Robert at the moment, it is estimated that this negotiation will be I don’t need it anymore, so I still have to make a good reconciliation. With Hank’s persuasion, Robert also knows that there are some things to say by himself. If he continues to talk about Li and is never happy, then he will be in big trouble. I wasn't here to be vindictive this time, but fortunately Li Cong didn't want to be vindictive with him.

"Mr. Li, I was wrong just now, but I don’t think Mr. Li would do anything just because of a word of mine." Robert raised his glass and said, Li Cong also smiled and nodded, looking at this guy. It seems that I am definitely not apologizing to myself, and the following "Mr. Li, in fact, I was a little bit suspicious before we started the negotiation. I want to know how many shares you have in De Beers." De Beers in Robert's mouth Si is the world’s largest diamond company. His problem has obviously attracted Hank’s attention. Although the two of them also have shares, it feels like Li Cong is the one behind the scenes. This time you have to calculate it clearly, otherwise Hua’s. He lost a lot and couldn't be led by Li Cong to help him make money.

Debeers, a cartel and multinational company in the world's diamond industry, dominates 40% of the world's diamond mining and trade.debeers by Cecil in 1888?Founded by Rhodes, the company is now headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is an si company.A subsidiary of the group, the Diamond Consulting Center, referred to as dtc, is responsible for marketing.In February 2008, debeers' first Hong Kong men's store opened in the Landmark in Central.

De Beers' main business includes diamond ore mining, trading, industrial diamond production and processing, etc.De Beers' diamond mining includes: g, coastal mining and deep sea mining.Mining locations are in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Canada, and Russia.

Since 1888, De Beers has been a reputable name in the diamond mining and evaluation industry.As early as more than sixty years ago, De Beers established a sales organization to distribute most of the world's gem-quality diamond embryos, ensuring the stability of the rapidly growing world diamond market.

De Beers has been closely involved in all areas of the diamond industry, from the mining of rough stones to the sale of diamonds, and strives to promote support.Through its global network of diamond promotion centers and diamond consulting centers, De Beers uses 21 languages ​​to promote and publicize diamonds, providing assistance and professional advice to the jewelry industry and the media.The most important thing is to help consumers understand diamonds and drive the chao flow of diamond jewelry.

The name of the De Beers brand is derived from jing pure and flawless, natural and excellent diamond jewelry, which is endowed with the emotional connotation of love.The hard and non-deteriorating characteristics of diamonds are in line with the public's yearning for love.The symbolic positioning of De Beers' loyal love revolves around the unchanging emotional value of diamonds to dig out consumer love elements, which develops the emotional needs of customers and creates a new concept market.This obviously plays a heart-breaking role in people's yearning and demands for emotional life nowadays, so Yuanmeng Home Textiles Co., Ltd. home textiles "De Beers" brand came into being.

The brand style of De Beers is positioned as diamond grade, classic and eternal.The products mainly highlight the noble quality of diamonds, the dreamlike langyu life atmosphere, the graceful temperament of amorous feelings, the jing and warm home atmosphere and the classic love that has lasted forever.The goal is to be the urban upstart who pursues fashion information and international taste, urban white-collar workers who are rich in petty bourgeoisie, and Jingying in the workplace who pursues a sense of life.

debeers is the world's largest diamond mining company.Since its establishment in 1888, debeers have become synonymous with diamonds.Debeers also has diamond valuations and sells most of the world's uncut diamonds to diamond cutting centers. The cutting centers cut and polish these diamonds so that they can be used in jewelry.

Debeers is a leader in the global diamond mining technology industry, operating 19 diamond mines around the world, producing more than half of the world's diamonds, and cooperating with African governments such as Bozana, Namibiya and Tanzania.

Diamonds mined from these mines, as well as diamonds from other major sources, are all sold through debeers' central sales agency based in London.The central sales organization holds ten diamond appreciations every year, and sells uncut diamonds to more than 160 major diamond cutting centers around the world, all of which are customers of the debeers central sales organization.

De Beers has been well-known for its monopoly on the international diamond market since the beginning of the century. The company has used various methods to continuously hone its control over the market: first, it persuaded independent producers to join the company. In a single-channel monopoly, the diamonds it floods into the market are similar to those produced by manufacturers that refuse to join the enterprise alliance. In the end, it buys and stores diamonds produced by other manufacturers in order to supply the market with Price control.However, this transformation of the company has become more and more widespread since the end of the nineteenth century.

By 30 years, many factors have prompted De Beers to change its old business model.In the 1990s, De Beers had less and less influence on industry guidance and supply control, and the effect became less and less obvious.In terms of business, De Beers is increasingly unable to use its leadership advantages or foresee the industry to expand its business.In addition, more and more diamond miners from Russia, Canada, Australia and other places choose to sell diamonds from channels other than De Beers, which objectively helps eliminate monopoly.Compared with other luxury goods, the diamond jewelry market has shown signs of shrinking.Regarding changes in consumer demand, the diamond industry has not responded and adjusted at a corresponding speed.In order to solve these problems, De Beers and pany conducted a comprehensive and complete strategic assessment of its own business and the entire industry, and then adjusted its business model based on supply control to a model based on market demand.At the same time, De Beers also established a supplier selection sales strategy.As a result of the adjustment of strategy and business model, De Beers now occupies 40% of the market share, but the profit margin is higher than when it occupied 80% of the market share.

Compared with the pattern of ten years ago, the diamond industry today has undergone tremendous changes. The current situation is a very complex and constantly changing geopolitical scene.Today's major diamond industry giants are: African diamond-producing countries (for example, the government of the Republic of Botswana and the Republic of Namibia are of course mostly controlled by energy groups), De Beers, Rio Tinto Group, BHP Billiton, Energy Group Jewelry Company, etc.
