591. A rumor (5)
Although the Heyre Winston Jewelry Store is not a landmark building in Las Vegas, it is definitely famous enough. He stopped a taxi outside the hotel and told the driver that the name was, and he said he knew it.
The black driver looked very out of place. After Li Du got in the car, he said: "If you want, you can smoke in the car, sing in the car, and drink in the car."
Li Du wondered: "Ah?"
The black driver looked at Godzilla and Dao in the back seat from the rearview mirror and continued, "If I say something wrong, don't be angry, don't let your guy beat me!"
Li Du laughed and said, "You misunderstood. You won't be like this. My guy has a good temper. They are two good-looking guys."
The black driver grinned and said, "If I had their size, I think my temper might not be very good."
Li Du said: "Relax, we are all good people, so are you."
The black driver smiled relaxedly and said, "Yeah, of course, of course, we are all good people, and all the gentle lambs of God. By the way, why are you doing to Hery Winston?"
Taxis drive on the streets, and there are often cars and pedestrians coming and going on the streets. The cars are not driving fast, and there are many traffic lights. You have to stop after a few steps. Therefore, taxi drivers in Las Vegas are very good at chatting.
Hans told him that the public security in the casino was not very good. For safety reasons, Li Du said vaguely: "I want to buy something."
The black driver said, "Are you going to buy jewelry? If so, you are really going right? Have you heard of it? Hairy Winston is going to go bankrupt. If that happens, I think his jewelry must be very cheap."
Li Du asked in surprise: "Herry Winston is going to go bankrupt? How is this possible?"
Although the jewelry company he is going to is not the world's number one luxury store, it is very famous and has a high status in the jewelry industry, so there should not be a crisis of bankruptcy.
The black driver shrugged and said, "You don't know? Ha, of course, people are not very clear now that these damn capitalists are too cunning. They are busy transferring assets now..."
Li Du said: "How did you know?"
The black driver continued to shake his shoulders and said, "Yeah, Yeah, how did I know that I just know because I am the omniscient and omnipotent super driver Anji."
This answer is similar to no answer.
Li Du took out his mobile phone and started searching for information about Hai Rui Winston. He had never known the luxury goods industry, and now he was about to enter this industry. He had to learn more.
Yes, he planned to enter the luxury industry and search for Fire Opal to know that Little Flying Bugs is too useless for just participating in warehouse auctions, and there are more suitable jobs for it.
For example, go deep into the ground, deep into the ocean, deep into the mountains to find gems and treasures.
There are a lot of news about Hai Rui Winston online. If you search for the keyword "closure", there are still a lot of news, but most of them are not very reliable and they are all rumored news.
After searching for a while, Li Du noticed such a news.
Just two years ago, BHP Billiton, the world's largest mining company, cooperated with Hery Winston to sell its diamond business for $500 million.
This time, a diamond mine called Aikati is located in the northwest of Canada, close to the Arctic Circle, and the geographical and climate environment are very harsh.
The Ikati Diamond Mine is Canada's first diamond mine. Hairy Winston hopes to obtain this original mineral area, combining Canadian diamond processing and marketing skills to produce more top-notch diamonds and expand the brand's market share.
This plan is very good. The Hairui Winston Group originally includes two fields: diamond mining and brand retail. If this mining area has the expected diamond mine, they can make enough profits.
As a result, judging from the little news reports, the situation at the Ikati Diamond Mine is not optimistic, and Heyre Winston was fooled by BHP!
Before acquiring the Ikati Diamond Mine, the Hairy Winston Group proposed the idea of "Ice Crystal Soul" and established a new sub-brand to specialize in the operation and promotion of diamonds excavated from the Arctic.
But this idea has not been launched into the market for a long time. The Hairy Winston Group explained that considering the global economic downturn and people's purchasing power are low, they are waiting for a better opportunity to launch a series of products.
However, it is reported that the actual reason is that the Ikati diamond mine is almost exhausted and there is no high-quality diamond output, so the Hairui Winston Group cannot launch this series of products at all.
Investing $500 million in waste, Heyre Winston is not the US government and does not have a strong national bank to rely on, so their economic pressure is very high.
Now the luxury goods industry is in a downturn, and many luxury goods companies look brilliant, but in fact they are mainly supported by bank loans.
Half of the $500 million Hairy Winston's $500 million comes from loans, so after the investment failed, there were big problems within them.
Loans all depend on operation. It’s good if funds can operate smoothly. Once the operation is blocked, it will be miserable, which is likely to lead to the paralysis of global funds.
Looking at the news, Li Du hesitated. If Hairy Winston's situation was so bad, he probably wouldn't have bought his hot opals.
The number of fire opals he brought this time was large, worth at least five million US dollars.
For normal Hery Winston, this little money is nothing. They once spent 20 million US dollars to purchase a 101-carat legendary diamond, but that was normal Hery Winston. Is it still normal now?
During his hesitation, the car had already driven to the Las Vegas Strip, the main road named after the city.
The figures of famous buildings such as Metropolitan Super Mall, Hard Rock Casino Hotel, Paramount Palace, etc. appear in front of Li Du. There are more tourists here, there are many pedestrians and traffic.
The shop of Hery Winston is here, with an inverted heart-shaped building with a cold silver glow, with lines like a knife and axe chop, like a huge diamond that is perfectly cut.
Li Du got out of the car, a handsome white man with blond hair and blue eyes came up with a smile and opened the car door for him, bent down and saluted: "Welcome to Hairy Winston, the most beautiful diamonds, the most beautiful jewelry, and the most beautiful life."
Godzilla and Dao got out of the car with expressionless faces. The handsome white man's smile froze for a moment, and then his eyes looked at Li Du even more respectfully.
The oriental man with these two powerful bodyguards must be very good at being. He is not a problem with being humble, and the handsome white guy thought silently.
Li Du didn't know what he was thinking. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, your store is not closed yet, right?"
The handsome white guy quickly said, "We are open at midnight, you can arrange your time at will."
