The God of Entertainment Learning System/the Almighty Star of Youth Hostel

The system said: "Master, I can only change it to a transparent color for you!"

Chang Huan said with a smile: "The transparent color is also very good, so that my clothes are covered with a Superman suit, and no one else can see it! This way, I don't have the embarrassing feeling of wearing underwear outside!"

At this moment, the azure battle suit became transparent.

Chang Huan moved his mind, and the transparent superman suit automatically came out of the system treasure house, covering Chang Huan's whole body, and it was all close to the body, without any feeling of being too loose or too tight, and it did not affect the movement at all. , but increased the agile response.

Moreover, this battle suit covers the entire top and bottom, including Chang Huan's mouth, eyes, nose and feet, and this Superman suit is actually breathable, and Chang Huan can breathe through the Superman suit.

When Chang Huan wanted to take off the suit, he didn't have to take it off himself, the suit would automatically flow into his system treasure house like a liquid.

Speaking of it, this Superman suit is much more convenient than the armor suits of superheroes such as Wonder Woman, Daredevil, Iron Man, Spiderman, and Batman!

Chang Huan put on the Superman suit, activated [Invisibility] and [Superman Flying], and after a short while, he appeared in the sky above Cape Town.

Looking at the night view of the city from this high altitude is really quite beautiful.

A second later, they came to a high-end residence.

There's a guy living here, he's the president of De Beers, he's one of the Oppenheimer family that controls De Beers.

……

Diamonds are forever, and a diamond will last forever. It has been regarded as the standard advertisement by countless jewelers, but the De Beers company behind it has spent 100 years compiling a giant network that monopolizes the world.

De Beers (De-Beers) is well-deserved in the company that can be called an "empire" in the jewelry industry.The world's largest diamond mining and sales company once controlled 90% of the global rough diamond market. "Monopoly is the only source of huge profits."The high degree of monopoly has not only brought De Beers the ability to actually control global diamond prices in the past [-] years, but also of course huge profits.

How does De Beers monopolize the world's diamond resources?

The first step is to solve the large price fluctuations and stabilize market expectations

As the founder of De Beers, Cecil Rhodes, in 1871, he discovered a diamond weighing 83.5 carats in South Herring Kimberley and invested all the profits in the mining industry, making it rapidly expand into an independent company, and in In 1888, it annexed the Barney, Barnato and Rhodes companies to monopolize the southern herring diamond industry.

Before De Beers stepped in, prices in the diamond market were chaotic and volatile.The diamond market was not stable until 1889 when De Beers and London-based Diamond, Syndicate reached an agreement to make the purchase price of diamonds stable and reasonable.when

The second step is to win over opponents by all means to form a monopoly alliance.

De Beers decision-makers realized early on that the only way to increase the value of diamonds is to make them scarce, that is, to reduce production," so they used various means to win over small mines and traders to join the De Beers cooperative. However The threat of De Beers came as Southern Herring's increasingly competitive mines were discovered and began to refuse to join the De Beers cooperative. Seeing that the carefully laid plans were about to collapse, the war gave De Beers a chance. Decision On the eve of the outbreak of the First World War, the top management found that the war was inevitable, so Rhode personally went to the front to put pressure on the government to invest more in military rescue resources instead of strategic materials. Regardless of the advantage of being a military supply, Rhode invested all company resources To the construction of fortifications, the production of bullets, self-defense weapons and the production of Cecil long-barreled guns. Rhodes kept De Beers in this way, but competitors were not spared in the war, and finally annexed competitors one by one, And realized the absolute control of 90% of the world diamond industry.

The third step, buying out the empire, the road to privatization of De Beer

After the sentence "Since shareholders do not recognize the value of De Beers, there is no need for the company to continue to make profits for them." After that, shareholders led by Nicky Oppenheimer bought out all De Beers for $197 billion. Circulating shares, privatizing them and forming cross-holdings with Anglo-American companies.After realizing absolute control over De Beers, Nicky Oppenheimer made a major strategic adjustment. In 2001, De Beers accepted Bain & Company's proposal to give up the role of the buyer of last resort, put the inventory on the market for sale, and increase the inventory turnover rate.At the same time, it is committed to increasing demand through advertising campaigns and positioning it as a luxury product.Its core concept is: "'. A consumer will only spend 1% of his pocket money on diamonds, but will spend 10% on luxury goods." In this way, decades of marketing have cultivated diamond consumption. Market, that classic ad slogan was also listed as one of the classic cases by Harvard Business School.

The fifth step is to defeat artificial diamond and seize the Huaguo market

As a special product category, the value of natural diamond itself is determined by its scarcity.With the development of technology and the increase of supply, the value of diamonds should have fallen, and there is no cost advantage in the face of synthetic diamonds.In terms of synthetic diamond materials, Huaguo accounts for about 90% of the world's share.However, De Beers has relied on its excellent market control capabilities, decades of marketing, and especially popular advertising placement.Realized the absolute control of the price of diamonds, and the man-made diamonds lost completely in front of the natural diamonds.Because, there will never be overcapacity, and no one will marry synthetic diamonds.In this way, De Beers successfully entered the Chinese mainland market through the layout of the bridgehead in Hong Kong, and gradually occupied the market share.

……

It can be said that De Beers' behavior of monopolizing the diamond market is very despicable. They use the mental retardation and vanity of those vanity-loving women to ruthlessly squeeze the majority of men. In this case, Chang Huan is even more despicable than them!

He hypnotized the heads of all senior executives and major shareholders of Anglo American plc and De Beers, making them think that Chang Huan, a mysterious man from China, is in charge of their destiny, and that Chang Huan Yongle Group holds Anglo American plc and De Beers.

Yes, Chang Huan extended his own name, Chang Huan, isn’t it Yongle, and the most prosperous era in China was actually the Yongle period of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the national power was even more prosperous than the Han and Tang Dynasties, so it was possible to sail to the Africa!

Therefore, Chang Huan's company was named Yongle!

Later, Chang Huan used [hacking] technology to hack into the servers of the two companies and made some modifications!

He also used [Seize Energy] to deprive these executives and major shareholders of their life energy, making them submit to Chang Huan's slavery even more!

Now, the company that monopolizes the world's diamonds is Chang Huan's Yongle Group! .

Chapter 730 Controlling mineral predators!

Everyone knows what De Beers does before, but they may not know much about Anglo American.

Chang Huan also learned from domestic intelligence that Anglo American is the No. The group not only has the number one influence in the mining industry, but also exerts a significant influence on the country politically!

In 1917, Sir Ernest-Oppenheimer established the Southern Herring Anglo-American Company in order to exploit the gold mines in the EastRand area of ​​the Southern Herring. The company's approved start-up capital was 100 million pounds. Since the funds mainly came from England and the United States, it was named "Anglo-American Company". . In the 19s and 20s, the Southern Herring Anglo-American Company made major advances in gold mining under the leadership of Sir Ernest. In 30, Southern Herring Anglo American became the largest single shareholder of De Beers, and Sir Ernest Oppenheimer became the chairman of the company in 1926.

　853　19世纪40年代末至50年代期间，南鲱英美公司主要致力于FreeState金矿和VaalReefs矿的开发工作。公司在这一时期同时开发的主要矿山达5座，开采这些矿产取得的成功使公司一跃成为国际矿业界名列前茅的企业。

In 1961, Southern Herring Anglo American purchased a stake in Canada's Hudson's Bay Mining and Smelting Company, marking the company's first large-scale investment outside of Southern Herring.Afterwards, in the early 70s, Anglo-American acquired mining assets in Latin America and established a mining and resources company (later renamed Minorco). In the mid-60s, the company integrated an increasing number of industrial assets to form Southern Herring Anglo-American Industries (amic), and also entered the steel industry through the acquisition of Scaw Metals and the development of Highveld Process new technology in the field of steel production.

In 1967, Southern Herring Anglo-American Company established the Mondi Group, which marked the company's entry into the southern herring wood, pulp and paper industry. After 1984, it became one of the two major companies in the southern herring industry, and then became the European paper A major player in the packaging industry.

In 1975, Anglo-American developed eight coal mines in Southern Herring, which were later integrated into Amcoal (later renamed "Anglo-American Coal").Anglo American is also one of the major shareholders in the Richard Bay Coal Terminal development project, which has made Southern Herring a major coal exporter in the world.

Since the Southern Herring KMT came to power in 1948, the relationship between the Southern Herring Anglo-American Company and the Southern Herring government has not been harmonious, and their views are often opposed. The Oppenheimer family is an important member and one of the founders of the opposition party. The British American Company is the main supporter of the black education plan . In 1981, Anglo American was the first mining company to advocate for the recognition of the Black Trade Union.

In 1993, the Group carried out a major restructuring of Anglo American's assets in Africa and Minorco's interests in other parts of the world.Since then, the company has gradually accelerated the pace of global development. In 1995, the company started production at the Mantoverde copper mine in Chile; in 1996, the company started production at the Sadiola Hill gold mine in Mali; in 1997, the company first acquired coal assets in Latin America; and began to build nickel mines in Venezuela and Ireland and zinc mines; in 1999, the company put into operation the Collahuasi large-scale copper mine in Chile (Anglo-American Company holds 44% equity).

The staggered ownership of Anglo American and De Beers was dismantled.In the past, the two companies each owned shares in each other. In 2001, through a very complex transaction, Anglo American increased its stake in De Beers to 45%, which is run by the Oppenheimer family.

This Anglo American resource group is an economic predator in Southern Herring. It has dominated the mining industry of Southern Herring and has also affected the political development of Southern Herring. At the same time, there are some figures in England and the United States behind it. They are basically Have a negative attitude towards China's development.

Chang Huan used extraordinary methods to make the ownership of these two companies controlled by Huaxia. Other European and American figures will definitely not sit idly by, and there will be open and secret battles at that time!At that time, Chang Huan will kill or control more and more European and American chaebols and dignitaries. At that time, the organization controlled by Chang Huan will play a vital role in the rise of China!

Of course, that's all for later!

Now, Chang Huan didn't think so much, but felt that those bastards in Europe and the United States had already made so much money from China, and they couldn't be allowed to make money from China in the future. If they wanted to earn it, they had to earn money from China's own vain women money!

……

Chang Huan had to brainwash and hypnotize a lot of people, as well as to forge a lot of documents and electronic documents, and it took a whole night to complete what should be done.

When it was dawn, he lay down and rested for half an hour.
