City Start Striving for Becoming a Rich Man

Chapter 107

After lunch on the second day, Ni Shixiao took people to the diamond processing center in Kumar.

His processing center has a nice name: “Lotus Group”.

The lotus is the national flower of the Asam Indian kingdom. With the name of the lotus, it has to be said to be very domineering.

The reason why Ni Shixiao came over after lunch was because he was really afraid of their food and didn’t want to eat the seasoning with them.

The food seasoning in Asam-India is not measured in a few ounces or grams; it is measured in two as the unit.

The Lotus Group occupies a large area of ​​land on the outskirts of Mumkbai.

The surrounding area is surrounded by simple houses of citizens, densely surrounded.

The tall fence separates the factory building from the surrounding dilapidated houses. As soon as the car enters, you can see several rows of high and low factory buildings inside.

There are new and old, and some are estimated to be old, and the wall skin has been mottled and peeled off.

Kumar already took a few people and waited for him in front of a new-looking factory building. Ni Shixiao thought this should be the administrative office building of this factory.

After some greetings and introductions, all the important figures of the Lotus Group were waiting together. When I heard it was not a form, it was an uncle, or an uncle.

It turns out that the Kumar family grew larger by marriage.

Relatives are all engaged in diamond-related industries. Together, they are the real “Lotus Group”.

Everyone entered the office building, Kumar walked first and introduced.

There is an elevator in the office building, and there is also a driver driving the elevator inside.

You heard that right, the elevator driver is responsible for driving the elevator, with a chair in it, sitting on the side of the floor button, and responsible for pressing the floor for everyone.

In fact, a few years ago, we had drivers who were in charge of driving elevators. Now we can still see them in some places, especially in hospitals.

With Kumar’s introduction, Ni Shixiao knew where diamonds are cut and where they are polished.

Today’s weather is relatively sultry, and Li Jiajia’s cheeks are already covered with sweat.

Fortunately, I arrived at Kumar’s office immediately. His office has air-conditioning, and it feels cool when he walks in.

This is not very common in Asam India. Even in 9102, you can see it in Asam India’s movies. There are still broken fans hula hula in the station.

Kumar took out a few bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator to distribute to everyone;

Ni Shixiao looked at the brand of water, and fortunately, he could drink it, but he didn’t dare to drink the water from Asamyin.

Don’t worry about visiting the factory, let everyone cool off here first, if you go to visit and wait until you come back, you will be sweating again.

There were only a few people left in this office, except for a few main characters, Barney and Ruan Hongyu. The others went to the office next door to rest.

After a few sips of water, Kumar began to introduce to everyone.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“This is a diamond from our processing center. The price is definitely two levels lower than the market price.”

A diamond appraiser wearing white gloves took out the tray from the safe. There were dozens of diamonds on it.

Ignoring all the low-cut diamonds, Ni Shixiao picked up the high-cut diamonds.

It is not to see the grade of the gem, but to observe the cut surface of the diamond, and praise the processing technology of Kumar.

Although Ni Shixiao is not a professional, he can still see the craftsmanship of the diamond’s cut surface.

And he doesn’t need to judge the processing technology rigorously, as long as he tries to process a batch at that time.

If something goes wrong with the diamond, the name of the Lotus Group will be stinky, not to mention that its counterparts in Mumkebai will not agree.

Diamond processing can also be regarded as the pillar industry of Asam India, but I don’t want to see someone ruining its reputation!

Do what you can, don’t do it, don’t force it, whoever dares to ruin the reputation, but he will clean up.

…

After the 1990s, the price of colored diamonds will continue to rise.

In fact, there are already signs, so Kumar is coveting Ni Shixiao’s colored diamond processing business.

For families like them that have been in this industry for decades or more than half a century;

They are very sure about the future trend of diamonds, which is why they value Ni Shixiao’s diamond mine.

After Ni Shixiao watched the displayed diamonds, he said to Kumar: “Is this the rough stone you bought from the Andep Exchange?”

“No, this is the rough we obtained from Sierra Leone from our agent in Efica. Andep’s strength has been preventing us from obtaining gem-quality rough diamonds. It is very difficult for us to find rough diamonds in the market.”

Ni Shixiao smiled and said, “Your situation will definitely improve, my partner.”

The power of the Asan Indians in the diamond industry will grow stronger in the future;

Entering the 1990s, the number of diamond processing workers in Asami India will exceed one million, while Andep has only a few hundred people left.

You know, there were tens of thousands of people engaged in diamond processing in Andep in the 1970s…

In a few years, Asan Indians will account for more than half of Andep’s tens of billions of transactions, and Andep’s wisdom will remain a corner.

For Ni Shixiao, it doesn’t really matter where the diamond comes from.

It doesn’t matter even if it is a Sodong diamond. The diamond industry of later generations has always been rumored that the quality of Sodong diamonds is low, which is actually suppressing Sodong diamonds.

One is because the output of diamonds in Eastern Europe is too high, which will affect the price of diamonds; the other is ideological.

How is the profit of diamonds distributed?

The mining side is the most 10%, and the rough trader is about 15%. If the processing side of Kumar sells directly, they can eat the remaining share.

If you add a dealer of brand-name jewelry, it will add 20% to 300% of the profit.

The smaller the size of the diamond, the higher the profit ratio, but the profit base is not large.

Then the two parties negotiated a cooperation agreement, and Ni Shixiao’s rough diamonds will be sent to Lotus Group for processing in the future.

Non-precious stones will be entrusted to Lotus Group for sale, and the two parties will carry out profit stratification.

Give them a share of gem-quality diamonds every year.

For gem-level diamonds, Ni Shixiao will take them back for storage after being cut, instead of selling them now.

After the business was negotiated, everyone was happy.

“Have you ever thought of directly owning diamond mines?” Ni Shixiao asked Kumar after they finished celebrating.

Kumar replied in frustration: “Of course we have this idea. With a diamond mine, we will maximize our profits.”

But diamond mines that can be industrially mined today;

Either under the direct control of Delbis, or in the hands of some state-owned companies, they have nowhere to invest even if they want to invest.

“I have a diamond mine. I have a diamond mine in Australia. We can cooperate.”

Ni Shixiao’s diamond mine in Australia has not yet been mined;

Suffering from the Australian government is more difficult to deal with, and the tax is relatively high, the final profit is not as impressive as imagined.

He is very happy to bring in a shareholder and let the shareholders do the hard work. He waits for the share.

The diamond mineral resources of Asami India have long been exhausted;

In the 1970s, the Assamese Indian diamond dealers were able to enter Andep, because Yoyos looked down on the business of rough diamond processing. .
