He seemed to be talking to Li Zhiyuan, but he was actually talking to Zhao An.
But Li Zhiyuan put up a cover and said: "Oh, then this is really a good thing, why didn't Dad go to work today?"
Li Zhengguo said angrily: "According to what you mean, I can't have a vacation?"
Li Zhiyuan shrank her head, and said with a sneer: "No, what I mean is, with such a great leader, shouldn't those who celebrate the Chinese New Year stand on the front line and set an example?"
Li Zhengguo snorted and said, "I have been on duty for two consecutive days in the first and second grades. Today is just a day off. All positions will resume work tomorrow."
While the father and daughter were talking, Shen Yiqiu came out with some food and said, "Let's serve~!"
"Yuanyuan is here to help, Zhao An can just sit down..."
They don't talk about business affairs during the meal, and they talk about homework. Li Zhiyuan talked about some interesting things at her husband's house, and also talked about Zhao An's help in the development and construction of her hometown.
Shen Yiqiu nodded in satisfaction and said: "You can have this, the way is to drink water without forgetting the well digger, after all, it belongs to the folks in the village, if you can help, please help.
To put it another way, if it is convenient for the foundation, we will also make some policy tilts, help renovate school buildings, build roads and so on,
At that time, I will ask the people below to talk to the county magistrate Li. "
Speaking of it, the mother-in-law is still very considerate of her son-in-law, no matter how this matter is done, it will positively improve Zhao An's reputation.
Zhao An replied: "That's hard work, mom..."
Shen Yiqiu made a serious face on purpose and said: "It's all from my own family, no matter what the hard work,
And it doesn't take much effort from me, and it's all at your own money. "
After the meal, the family sat together again and chatted for a while, then Zhao An got up and said goodbye.
On the way back, Li Zhiyuan stroked her slightly bulging belly and sighed, "I gain three catties every festival, I'm afraid I gained more than ten catties..."
This is a delivery proposition...
Zhao An said with a smile: "Now you are eating alone to meet the needs of two people.
And you're not fat at all,
It's cute enough to swell,
Exudes the brilliance of motherhood, illuminating our happy family. "
Li Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at him and said: "If you are fat, you must be fat. I also recognize it.
Alas, husband, look how dare he kick me..."
Zhao An: "Maybe, he just inherited your free fighting gene."
The next morning, the young couple got up together and went to work.
Zhao An sent Li Zhiyuan to the police station first, and then rushed to the company unhurriedly.
The whole morning was basically spent in the transformation experiment of Jiangcheng Life Science Research Institute.
With the guarantee of Zhao An's healing technique, the four fighters successfully completed the experiment and became a new batch of super fighters.
In the afternoon, Xu Wenqian walked into Zhao An's office and said, "Mr. Zhao, the Liaodong mining application submitted by our company has been rejected."
Wafangdian in Liaodong is the largest diamond production base in Huaguo, producing the most diamonds in Huaguo.
What Zhao An plans to develop this time is an undeveloped diamond pit in Wafangdian.
Didn't expect the application to be rejected...
Zhao An couldn't help frowning: "Do you know the reason for the rejection?"
Xu Wenqian: "The official reply is that the qualifications are insufficient, but I have received news that it is the pressure from the Belgian diamond guild and the joint boycott of domestic diamond merchants.
Don't allow us to get any more sources of diamonds. "
Chapter 580 Gem Level Mine
The Diamond Guild in Antwerp has a great say in the global diamond business.
Zhao's application was rejected so quickly, presumably because of the pressure from domestic colleagues.
Zhao An rubbed his brows and said, "It stands to reason that our application must be unimpeded from the Government Affairs Council, so the problem lies with Wafangdian."
Xu Wenqian nodded and said: "It should be like this. It seems that the other party was persecuted too hard by us last year, so they had to unite to suppress us."
Zhao An snorted coldly and said, "Their suppression won't have any effect.
Since I have decided to do this matter, I must do it, and I will definitely do it. "
He also told Xu Wenqian: "Leave this matter alone, I will think about it later, and then tell you the decision..."
Watching Xu Wenqian go out, Zhao An sat on the chair and thought about the way to break the situation.
Now there is still a way to get a new source of diamonds.
To put it bluntly, it is directly sent to South Africa, especially De Beers, the largest company under the Diamond Guild,
Teleport to the edge of their diamond pit in South Africa, directly put the diamond ore in their diamond pit into a six-compartment backpack, and then teleport back silently.
This can not only attack the other party's diamond source, but also have new diamonds, but the source is inconvenient to disclose.
But there is also a disadvantage in doing so: Although Zhao An will get more diamonds, it will also cause an overall reduction in the diamond market in disguise.
In the end, although De Beers and even the diamond guild will suffer some losses, the production of diamonds has decreased. According to the law of market supply and demand,
As the supply of goods decreases, the market price will increase accordingly, which is contrary to Zhao An's original intention of doing this.
His original intention was to lower the price of diamonds to the common people, so that more people, especially Chinese, can afford diamonds.
Therefore, Zhao An rejected this plan in his heart...
Then you have to find another place, preferably a new diamond pit in China, a virgin land that has never been discovered, develop your own diamond mine, and get rid of local pressure.
It is impossible for Wafangdian to have a mining application approved by the Government Council but rejected by the local government. Wafangdian is known as the Oriental Diamond City.
In fact, it is a place deeply entangled with the Diamond Guild, so it is not surprising to do such a thing.
In addition to Wafangdian, there are actually many places in China that can produce natural diamonds.
It's just that the quality is not as good as that over there, and the output is not as much as Wafangdian.
All afternoon, Zhao An was looking for new diamond mines.
I finally found a few, but none of them were very satisfactory: there were not many gem-quality diamonds, and only 30.00% were near-gem-quality diamonds, while industrial-grade diamonds accounted for more than 60.00%.
and many more! ! !
what is that?
Suddenly, when Zhao An was searching carefully, a large natural diamond vein was found in an area, and the raw diamonds in the vein were basically gem-grade.
Dense diamonds are dotted in the veins, ranging from one carat to five carats, and the largest ones are even more than 100 carats...
Haha, Zhao An said with emotion in his heart: It's really hard work that doesn't satisfy people with a heart.
Another sentence is that the land of China is indeed full of treasures and treasures, and the land is vast and abundant.
Moreover, this place is located in the desert area of the Great Northwest. If it can be mined, it will bring a lot of good benefits to the local area, and it will not be constrained like Wafangdian at all.
Just when Zhao An was secretly happy, secretary Hu Zhiyan came in and said, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Hou Fenghao who came back from Chile, is waiting outside to report to you."
Ha, it's really dozing off, and I will give you a pillow...
"Let him in! Give Mr. Hou a cup of coffee by the way!"
Zhao An happily ordered.
Not long after, Hou Fenghao walked in with a tired face.
"sit down!"
Zhao An pointed to the chair in front of the table and said: "How about it, this trip has brought a lot of dust along the way... Thank you for your hard work."
It was the first time for Hou Fenghao to enter Zhao An's office, and he sat down nervously, and said, "Fortunately, I have arranged for the team I brought back this time to stay in a hotel to rest.
I was the only one who came to report to Mr. Zhao. "
After receiving the coffee from Hu Zhiyan and thanking him politely, Hou Fenghao continued: "The mining of rhenium ore for materials has gone smoothly. Before I came back, more than 30 tons of rhenium ore had been supplied to the Ministry of Industry.
In the next few years, we will continue to provide a steady stream of resources to the Ministry of Industry..."
Zhao An's rhenium mine business in Chile is an official cooperation organized by Zhao An at the request of the Ministry of Industry.
Rhenium metal has extremely strong high temperature resistance properties, is the main additive material of aero-engines, and has more industrial uses,
However, due to the blockade of some countries... the cooperation between Zhao's and the Ministry of Industry came about.
Zhao An smiled slightly, affirmed his credit, and said: "Your performance is obvious to all,
Well, I'll give you and your team a week off first,
In addition, the bonus and various benefits will be fully cashed out after the calculation is completed in the past few days.
After the holiday, I have more important business for you to handle, go down and rest first..."
After knowing the diamond guild's blockade on the source of Zhao's diamonds, Zhao An didn't plan to start mining with much fanfare this time.
When Hou Fenghao and the others returned from their holidays, they were asked to submit a mining application to Gan Province in the name of DBJ Company, so as to avoid the eyes of interested people.
Before leaving get off work, Zhao An called Xu Wenqian again and told him, "On the day of the Lantern Festival, organize a company dinner."
"This time it won't be held in the company, let's arrange a hotel outside, so that the restaurant staff can also take a proper rest."
Xu Wenqian thought for a while and asked, "It's held at the Jiangcheng Hotel, what does Mr. Zhao think?"
Zhao An had been to River City Hotel a few times and felt pretty good, so he nodded in agreement.
Looking back, he said again: "I vaguely remember that in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong and Guangxi regions, on the day of the start of work, the boss will give the employees a start-up bonus, right..."
"There is such a saying, but in my impression, it is usually eight yuan, or 18 yuan, just to celebrate."
Xu Wenqian replied.
Zhao An curled his lips and said, "Ten yuan and eight yuan are so festive... How about this, let the finance department count the number of people in the company, and each person will arrange a thousand and eight lai sees.
It will be posted on the day of the Lantern Festival, please keep this matter a secret for me, don't leak it! "
Chapter 581 Shocked Four
Antwerp, Belgium.
Herras Palace is the private palace-style villa of Douglas, the president of the Diamond Guild.
At this moment, the palace is brightly lit, and the people who come and go are all dressed in formal attire, well-groomed,
Ladies dressed in golden light were invited to the dinner held by Douglas in twos and threes.
"Athrod, my old friend, welcome to come..."
Today is a birthday party for Douglas's little granddaughter, and Douglas, as the host, welcomes guests from all over the world at the door.
Yasrod was the vice president of the Diamond Guild. He came a little later, but he still presented a precious gift.
It was a beautifully packaged box containing a string of necklaces studded with diamonds.
"To the most beautiful little princess tonight, I wish her every day as beautiful as today, shining like this diamond necklace..."
Asrod presented a gift and complimented him.
Douglas had good eyes, and he saw the problem at a glance: "Isn't this the diamond produced in Antwerp?"
His tone was full of doubts and doubts, and he was waiting for Yasrod to give a reasonable explanation.
The latter laughed, and said: "As expected of Douglas, you can see it at a glance, and the cut of these diamonds is too far behind us in Antwerp.
That is to say, only that bastard in the east would take out this kind of diamond to embarrass others.
However, the price of 7% just gives us a chance to stock up... Valentine's Day is coming, this time we want to make a big ticket. "
Douglas looked at Yasrod meaningfully, and said, "Oh, what's the vice president's plan?"
Yasrod said with a chuckle: "A few days ago, I heard that that bastard surnamed Zhao in the east planned to apply for their Liaodong mining rights, but was suppressed by the people I ordered.
Now we have a lot of diamonds in our hands, but I don't think anyone messed up this time,
I am planning a global price increase of 20.00 percent for all categories of diamonds and a [-] percent price increase for clarity and cut perfection..."
Douglas smiled lightly and said, "Very good, that's what I planned too, last time I bought a lot of diamonds in the East, and just taking advantage of this Valentine's Day, I packaged them and released them all at once.
