On Hong Kong Island, it is not the only businessman who wants to get a diamond De Bill license.

Seeing the diamond watch on the display cabinet of the "diamond king" Liao Guichang, the cheapest one is tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and the expensive one is hundreds of thousands. Is there a businessman in the gold shop and watch shop not tempted?

But there are only two ways to obtain diamonds:

The first is to go to Debill’s London headquarters to buy diamonds directly, but the cost is high and obviously not suitable for jewelers and watch shops;

The second is to obtain a license issued by De Beers, and you can obtain the right to purchase diamonds every year.

Many businessmen have tried to get a De Beer license, but they were disappointed. Therefore, industry insiders always say: "It is more difficult to buy diamonds from De Beer than to pick stars from the sky!"

Why is De Bill's license so difficult to obtain?

Because only 500 Debill licenses are issued worldwide, and the requirements for licensed companies are strictly prohibited and the relevant regulations formulated by Debill Company are not allowed to be violated;

Once discovered, the licensee's rights to purchase diamonds for several years will be cancelled at the slightest, and at the worst, the licensee's Debill license will be directly revoked.

If you have a revoked license, there will naturally be a vacancy!

However, Debill Company needs to go through a strict and detailed credibility survey for applicants.

In principle, manufacturers with performance in selling or processing diamonds will be given priority.

However, some manufacturers have been doing diamond processing for more than ten years and still have no chance to obtain a Debill license.

It is precisely because of this that until the early 1960s, no one else obtained a Debill diamond license except for the Liao family.

As a time traveler, Wu Guangyao naturally knows that there are some sideways who can obtain a De Bill license. This is probably the benefit of the time traveler!

South Africa's diamond resources and mining rights are owned by the state, but private merchants are allowed to operate diamond processing and retail.

Therefore, there are many private diamond manufacturers in South Africa who hold Debill licenses and have experience in diamond processing.

But as long as it is a company, it will not be smooth sailing. The prices of diamonds in the international market fluctuate, and some manufacturers are always in financial crisis or even bankruptcy.

Wu Guangyao is the attention of these companies. If he acquires a processing factory with multiple licenses, he not only has a De Bill license, but also has experience in processing diamonds.

Isn’t this the best of both worlds?

............

South Africa, the world's gold and diamond capital.

Developing and backward coexist, high civilization and extreme ignorance coexist, natural environment, and animal paradise.

The intermediary that Lao Fengxiang Jewelry is an international consulting agency, whose main business includes South Africa's diamond, gold, ore and other businesses.

The head of the consulting agency is Jones, who is an Englishman.

When Wu Guangyao heard about this person on Hong Kong Island, his first reaction was to cancel the cooperation. Isn’t Jones the same as ‘death of poverty’?

It would be so unlucky to work with him!

Fortunately, I held back, because Rong Bensheng introduced that this international consulting company is very large and has received great praise both locally and in the world!

During the 10 months before and after, Jones worked very hard to earn this agency fee.

I contacted several factories with Debill license plates that were intended to be sold, but I was not very satisfied with the Hong Kong Island and didn't even have the interest to come and inspect.

Lao Fengxiang Jewelry will not consider companies with less than 5 licenses;

Lao Fengxiang Jewelry does not consider the premium for companies that exceed 20%.

Jones was really about to collapse. If Lao Fengxiang Jewelry had not paid some information consultation fees, Jones would have doubted whether Lao Fengxiang Jewelry would have sincerely purchased the De Bill license plate.

As an English colony, Jones also knows Hong Kong Island, and the economy there is probably not as good as South Africa!

The consumption level in Hong Kong is not high, so will the diamond business be good?

Jones is a little confused. Why does Lao Fengxiang Jewelry still need so many diamond license plates?

However, Jones has heard that the boss of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry has recently become the "ship king" in the Far East.

I think in terms of funds, this young "ship king" should be short of money!

"BOSS, good news! There is a diamond processing factory that we British people are interested in selling. This diamond processing factory has 10 De Bill licenses and the processing factory has rich experience in diamond processing." An employee happily walked to Jones' office and said excitedly.

When Jones heard this, he was happy and immediately became worried again.

The 10 Debill license plates are not something that ordinary people can eat, not to mention the processing factory.

Which young boss can eat?

"What is the reason that this factory needs to be sold?" Jones asked calmly.

If the transaction is completed, his consulting agency will receive a large agency fee, so Jones is very concerned about this matter!

"It is said that this British boss failed to invest in London and encountered financial problems. Moreover, the diamond environment is not good now, so I guess I thought of selling this diamond processing plant."

The current diamond market in the world is really not very good!

I heard that De Beers is seeking advertisements around the world to achieve a hot diamond market.

"Well, let's go to this company to investigate first and be clear. You need to know which buyer in Hong Kong Island is not in a hurry. If the price is too high, you will definitely not buy it!" Jones analyzed calmly.

As an intermediary, it is naturally mainly for the buyer to consider, because only if the buyer agrees, this will be a deal compared to a transaction!

As for the seller, although it is very important, it is not the only one!

Jones took the staff and rushed to the diamond factory, and naturally he was looking forward to it;

I finally met a suitable seller, and I hope that the transaction will increase, which is the company's relatively large investment this year.

Although I didn't meet the real boss, the person in charge of the processing factory was the boss's relative, and he received Jones and his party.

Jones was very good at talking and quickly turned the person in charge to the point of being fooled, revealing a lot of useful information.

For example, the boss of the processing plant encountered a financial crisis in London and needed money;

For example, this processing factory has complete equipment and rich experience in workers, etc.

When he went back, Jones said confidently: "When you go back, call Hong Kong Island Lao Fengxiang and come to South Africa as soon as possible to discuss the acquisition. This time it will definitely be successful!"

...........

In late April, Wu Guangyao sent off 13 oil tankers at Victoria Harbor and went to Japan to perform transportation missions.

At this point, Global Shipping's mission this year has finally been completed ahead of schedule.

I might also buy a second-hand boat this year, but it is not that urgent!

Good things come together, and the shipping industry has just completed a milestone. Unexpectedly, good news came from South Africa, and news was heard from diamond license plates and diamond processing plants.

And there are actually ten De Bill license plates, which is really great news!

Because Wu Guangyao has never limited his diamond business to a small Hong Kong island; instead, he intends to start his business around the world.

Lao Fengxiang Jewelry can process diamonds into finished products such as diamond rings, necklaces, watches, etc., and then sell them all over the world.

Of course, at the beginning, Wu Guangyao would only start business in Hong Kong, Japan, and Southeast Asia, and finally go to Europe and the United States to develop.

Wu Guangyao no longer satisfies the future achievements of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry, at least he is a world-class jeweler like Cartier.

To go to the world, publicity and luxury are essential.

Promotion can be a classic advertising slogan, or sponsor world-class beauty pageants, catwalks, celebrities, etc.;

Luxury is naturally better understood, that is, collecting handwritten jewelry, occasionally taking it out for exhibitions or taking out the stars to show it to celebrities, etc., to gain fame.
