594. Difficult choices (3)
The four people started to quarrel, and Li Du was dizzy because of the quarrel. She regretted not that she had not heard from the black driver before, and replaced it with another jewelry store to sell gems.
The Americans really can put their heads on it. He is waiting here to do business with Roger, and the other three are shattering the situation on the spot.
Obviously, this business cannot be completed, and there is definitely a problem with Hairui Group's funds. According to the three of them, they have no money to purchase bulk gems.
This made him feel a little incredible. Hairy Winston is a big brand in the luxury goods industry. Of course, they mainly make decorations and gems, and cannot be compared with all types of giants such as LV and Dior.
But no matter what, their market value must be at least a few billion US dollars, which is a few million different?
But from what the four of them mean, Hairui Group is really missing these millions of yuan now.
Tatic and others did not intend to save face for the group and Roger. They just want to transfer their shares quickly and exchange them for cash.
Being depressed by the quarrel, Li Du couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Everyone, calm down, I seem to understand, Hairui Group is in a bad situation now, right?"
Roger frowned and said, "Mr. Li, you misunderstood, our group..."
"Who do you want to deceive at this time?" Tatic shouted, "Rog, your own dilemma of going to the group has spread online, and some media have begun to report on the issue of the Ikati Diamond Mine!"
Roger opened his mouth and pretended to say something, but his lips squirmed a few times, but he couldn't speak in the end, just sighing dejectedly.
Norman said dissatisfiedly: "When the group spent a lot of money to buy the Ikati Diamond Mine, I made suggestions, don't bet, don't bet, don't bet, don't bet, what's the result? Who listened?"
"Yes, the global luxury goods industry is so sluggish, and the group is stupid enough to spend 500 million US dollars to buy a abandoned diamond mine. It's so stupid!"
Seeing that they were complaining and quarreling again, Li Du raised his hand and said, "Everyone, everyone, calm down, what are you worried about? Since you are shareholders of Hairui Group, you should know the strength of this group, right?"
"The group is very strong, but if you file for bankruptcy, what can you do with even more powerful strength? Lehman Brothers is even stronger? Isn't it bankrupt yet?" Norman said coldly.
Lehman Brothers was once one of the world's four major investment banks. It went bankrupt in 28, causing financial turmoil around the world.
At that time, Li Du was still studying in China, so it was not clear about the specific details. However, for the United States, Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy had a great impact. Many companies followed the bankruptcy, and many people were even penniless overnight.
It is precisely because of these lessons that Norman and others are so crazy. If Hairui Group goes bankrupt, their old age will be really miserable.
Li Du didn't want to get involved in these messy things, but Roger's situation was really embarrassing, which made him feel a little pitiful, so he couldn't help but say a few words to him.
"Obviously, the situation between Hairui Group and Lehman Brothers Bank is a big mess that cannot even the government take over. Hairui Group has a century-old reputation and a century-old brand. It will not go bankrupt. Even if the performance is not good, there will be a company to acquire and take over."
"You're right, but when other companies come to take over, what price will they use to buy equity?" Tatic said.
Li Du remained silent. This was true. If Hairui Group was really acquired, the acquirer would definitely suppress the price desperately, and their equity would inevitably shrink greatly by then.
Roger said bitterly: "I admit that there may be some problems with the group's funds, but our brand is there, and the confidence is there."
He pointed at Li Du, "Look, didn't Mr. Li come to sell these gems to us? We have the most reputable jewelry brand in the world and the best designers, as long as there are enough gems..."
"Yes, enough gems, where are the gems? How to get them?" Norman continued to say coldly, "Well, there are some fire opals now, how do you get them?"
Roger stopped talking, frowning tightly, looking very embarrassed.
The speaker was unintentionally the listener was intentional, but the casual conversation between the two sides made Li Du’s eyes lit up.
This is an opportunity!
Hairui Group encountered a crisis, which was an investment failure, which led to poor capital operation and made many shareholders lack confidence and wanted to sell their equity.
Now selling equity can only be sold at a low price. At least it is much cheaper than when Hairui Group operates normally. So why don’t he find a way to buy these equity?
He now wants to enter the jewelry industry and the gem industry, and his identity is simply a supplier of raw materials.
According to the principle of profit distribution in the third-level market, the profits of raw material suppliers are the lowest, and the most profitable ones are sellers with channels.
Hairui Winston Group is a seller. It not only has channels, but also has the reputation accumulated over hundreds of years.
If he purchases equity and becomes a shareholder, the gems he gets will be processed in the future, and he can hand them over to his company to carve them into finished products for sale.
In this way, the profit will be huge!
But doing this is risky. How much money does he have now? How much equity can he buy? It cannot affect the overall strategic situation of Hairui Group at all!
In other words, if he cannot turn the tide and Hairui Group still goes bankrupt or sells it, then his investment will be wasted.
Soon, Li Du's frown was even more powerful than Roger, and he encountered a difficult choice that he had never seen in his life.
Sitting on the sand, he thought hard in his heart, without paying attention to what happened outside.
I don’t know how long it took, someone patted his shoulder and said, “Mr. Li, are you okay?”
Li Du's contemplation was interrupted, and he subconsciously looked up and said, "Oh, it's okay, I'm thinking about something, Mr. Roger?"
Roger was the one who patted his shoulder. The four of them had stopped arguing. This time it was Tatic and others' turn to frown.
Roger said, "Oh, that's it, Mr. Lee, let you have a joke. I'm sorry for having a little quarrel with my friends."
"It's okay." Li Du said with a smile.
"I can't stop you from time to time, if you're willing to sell these gems in our store, we can bargain."
Li Du said: "Do you have the money to buy them?"
After hearing this, Roger's face turned red as if he was insulted. He said, "Of course, Mr. Li, the jewelry in our store alone is worth more than tens of millions!"
Li Du quickly apologized: "Sorry, I said stupid things, so let's talk about the price?"
