Cang Hao smiled and didn't speak, he already had the answer in his heart.

"By the way......" Pang Jindong remembered one thing: "I recently inquired about the Diamond Alliance, and I have new news......

"This organization has a monopoly on diamond mining and production around the world, right?"

"So you already know. Pang Jindong nodded: "I also investigated this organization and gained a lot of knowledge, it turns out that diamonds are the most successful marketing scam in the twentieth century." Whether it is the East or the West, no country's traditional culture will associate diamonds with love, but it took a long time for the Diamond Alliance to successfully make diamonds a symbol of love. Whether it is Huaxia or country M, they have all cultivated a habit, that is, to give diamond rings when they get married, which means that they have cultivated a huge market demand. At the same time, they use all kinds of subtle propaganda to make people mistakenly believe that diamonds have investment value, and spending more money to buy them can at least maintain their value. Actually, if you buy it at one price, if you want to sell it, it's another price, it's cheaper to get a 50% discount, and there are few places to buy it, and it's not as easy to sell this thing as it is to sell gold. ”

"When it was time to sell, the depreciation was very strong. Cang Hao smiled disdainfully: "It's better to buy A shares to hedge their value." ”

"Yes. Pang Jindong nodded again: "In fact, before the nineteenth century, diamonds were indeed very rare, and they were a symbol of the status of the aristocratic watch. But after the Industrial Revolution, diamond mines were discovered in large quantities, and man-made diamond technology continued to mature, and the price of this thing was far from its actual value. However, after the Diamond Alliance created this marketing scam, it also artificially created the scarcity of diamonds and continued to monopolize and manipulate prices. ”

"The Diamond Alliance can monopolize this commodity, and its hand must be very long!"

"Yes!" Pang Jindong nodded: "The predecessor of the Diamond Alliance was De Beers United Mining Company, which won the mining of diamond mines in South Africa more than 130 years ago, and then controlled the pricing power of diamonds, and today, controls more than eighty percent of the world's diamond production. For example, in China, the proven reserves of diamond mines ranked tenth in the world, and just after the reform and opening up, De Beers and its subsidiaries and grandsons poured into China, using various methods to acquire a large number of minerals and mining rights. But when they were bought, they were not mined but mothballed, and of course, many of the deposits were joint ventures, in which case De Beers kept production as low as possible. Their main target is still on the African side, that is, they are targeting blood diamonds. ”

"I said. Cang Hao nodded thoughtfully: "I have studied junior high school chemistry and know that the artificial synthesis of diamonds is not very difficult, why is it so expensive." ”

"Actually, the price of a diamond above the carat does have investment value, but the price of a diamond below the carat is not worth anything at all. Even if it is a diamond with more than carats, the cost price is only about 30,000 yuan, and it often costs 100,000 yuan in the hands of end consumers. Pang Jindong took out a cigar and lit it, and smiled: "These liars!"

"I don't quite understand, how did De Beers evolve into the Diamond League?"

"De Beers' strategy is to buy diamonds when they see them, then mothball them and create scarcity to drive up prices. But with new minerals being discovered, the world is still big after all, and with the emergence of new mining giants, it will be difficult for De Beers to continue to eat alone. After a pause, Pang Jindong said slowly: "So, De Beers took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and simply united with the new mining company to form a diamond alliance. They only manipulate diamonds, a commodity, and they don't know how much profit they are making. ”

"I feel more and more now that anyone who has to buy a diamond ring when they get married has a bit of a problem in their brains. Cang Hao smiled disdainfully: "What a noble spirit of internationalism it is to save money and make profits for the Jewish capitalists!"

At the same time, in the nest of the ghost king party.

The black-faced ghost hadn't left since he had withdrawn here, and he needed to wait for the mirror ghost and the iron ghost to recuperate before he could plan his next move.

As soon as he got up in the morning, the black-faced ghost had breakfast brought to his room, and after eating breakfast, he walked out with a hood.

Immediately, the black-faced ghost was stunned, I don't know when Xu Jianjun came, and he was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.

During this time, Xu Jianjun has been very mysterious, and he doesn't know what he is busy with, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.

"Morning. Xu Jianjun saw the black-faced ghost, folded the newspaper and threw it aside: "I don't think you need to wear this hood." ”

The black-faced ghost's voice was unnatural: "What do you mean?"

"That means......" Xu Jianjun said in a long voice: "You have already been seen by Cang Hao, your true identity has been exposed, is it necessary to continue to be mysterious?"

"This is the symbol of our Ghost King Party!" the black-faced ghost pointed to his mask and hood, and said thoughtfully, "Are you very well-informed?" ”

"Must be well-informed. Xu Jianjun smiled: "You give me a job, of course I have to grasp your situation, otherwise I will ......"

Xu Jianjun was halfway through his words and didn't continue, but his tone was obviously dissatisfied with the black-faced ghost.

"Thank you for your concern. The black-faced ghost snorted coldly: "As long as the commission is in place, whatever you do." ”

"Are you embarrassed to ask for a commission?" Xu Jianjun laughed sarcastically: "I hired you to remove the stumbling block of Cang Hao, but you were killed by Cang Hao like a lost dog." The Ghost King Party, is it completely unworthy of the name, it's too disappointing. ”

"You ......" the black-faced ghost's voice became very eerie: "You want to pay the bill?"

"Of course I won't, anyway, I'm not short of this money, but ......" Xu Jianjun's voice was even more sarcastic: "If your watch continues to disappoint, I have to consider changing my partner!"

"You can change it if you want!" The black-faced ghost said nonchalantly: "You can no longer find a better partner than the Ghost King Party! If it weren't for our Ghost King Party, you wouldn't be able to sit in the Red Devil's seat at all! Don't forget, after you usurped power, who helped you guard the bases in various strongholds, and who helped you suppress the opposition forces!"

"Of course it's you. Xu Jianjun's tone softened: "Actually, I'm not dissatisfied with you, I'm just a headache for Cang Hao, why is this person so difficult to deal with!"

"Of course it's hard to deal with. The black-faced ghost sneered: "So many people want to kill him, if it's that easy, the former Red Devil has already succeeded!"

"Okay. Xu Jianjun sighed: "In any case, my new product has been launched on the market and is very popular." Solve Cang Hao early, be good to you and me, don't let Cang Hao get in the way of our fortune. ”

"I know. ”

"You have a good rest. Xu Jianjun said, stood up: "I'm going out." ”

"Something?"

Xu Jianjun has always kept his whereabouts secret, but this time he said it: "I'm going to Thailand, and there are some things to deal with there." ”

"Is it the knife ghost?"

"That's right, it's the base controlled by the sword ghost, this base is newly formed, and no one else knows about it......" Xu Jianjun glanced at the black-faced ghost a few times, and laughed: "Speaking of which, these subordinates of yours can do things more effectively than you." ”

Xu Jianjun walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and said again: "I heard a piece of news......

The black-faced ghost asked impatiently, "What?"

"The Diamond Alliance is here in China. ”

"They have always been active in China, and many Huaxia diamond mines have their stake ......"

"That's enough!" Xu Jianjun interrupted the black-faced ghost's words: "What you said is commercial activities, you should understand that the arrival of the Diamond Alliance this time has nothing to do with commercial activities." ”

"And what else can they do here?"

"How do I know, you used to work for the Diamond League, and I wasn't. Xu Jianjun became more and more impatient: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I just remind you that if the Diamond Alliance wants to do something against you, you had better take precautions in advance." ”

The black-faced ghost's voice trembled a little: "Got it." ”

"I know what is going on with you and the Diamond Alliance, since you have betrayed the Diamond Alliance, the Diamond Alliance cannot sit idly by, you can do it yourself, don't bother me. Dropping this sentence, Xu Jianjun left.

The black-faced ghost raised his foot and kicked over the coffee table, and scolded fiercely: "You go to die!"

The red-faced ghost heard the noise and hurried out: "What's wrong?"

"Not really. The black-faced ghost gasped, and his chest rose and fell violently: "In the future, give me a longer heart, don't let Cang Hao chase like a lost dog!"

The red-faced ghost said with some embarrassment, "Got it." ”

The black-faced ghost had just received a puff from Xu Jianjun, and in a blink of an eye, it came out from the red-faced ghost: "You know a fart, if you can have someone who can do things well, things won't fall to this point." ”

After that, the black-faced ghost ignored the red-faced ghost again, turned around and left.

The red-faced ghost was even more embarrassed and stood there, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Zhou Dayu walked over, looked at no one around, and said in a low voice: "Bet ......"

"I didn't have the heart to bet with you!" the red-faced ghost waved his hand, "Do whatever you have to do!"

"This bet you should play. Zhou Dayu smiled: "The black-faced ghost will never be so angry with the mirror ghost." ”

The red-faced ghost glared, "What do you mean?"

"I mean to say......" Zhou Dayu said in a long voice: "The mirror ghost is his cronie, but you are not, so he doesn't take you seriously." ”

"Are you sowing discord?"

"What do you say?" Zhou Dayu didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either: "I just feel it, the black-faced ghost completely uses you as a punching bag, and the black-faced ghost is not welcomed by Xu Jianjun." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Zhou Dayu smiled meaningfully: "If there is no black-faced ghost, it should be very pleasant for you to cooperate directly with Xu Jianjun." ”

The red-faced ghost was stunned: "This ......"
