Chapter 368 Three Cards

of the grandfather's condition through my divine sense, it's still more accurate to take his pulse.Tang Feng nervously asked, "Doctor Ye, how is my father"Ye Bufan frowned and said, "The situation is...Regardless of how eloquently he spoke, Ye Bufan remained unmoved, his expression as placid as ever.

"Mr. Gao, I think the current general manager is still more suitable for us."

"I..."

Gao Xiaogong almost choked on his own blood. Who was he He was the vice president of Kunpeng Group, second only to the CEO and above everyone else.

If it wasn't for preventing future problems and suppressing the high, powerful, and strong from the root, why would they come here to be a general manager

Even so, the other party acted unreasonably and treated me like an ordinary job applicant.

And at this moment, Gao Daqiang didn't seem to have any intention of speaking up for himself, leaving everything to Ye Bufan to handle.

"He's just a small doctor, he doesn't understand business at all, he doesn't understand how to run a company, don't bother with him!"

He gave himself a moment of comfort, then took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart. Gao Xiaogong continued to smile and said: "Brother Ye, you might not have entered the jade industry before. In this line of work, human connections are really important."

Someone with connections can get good supply channels. A long-term, stable, and high-quality supply channel can determine the life or death of a company.

So, you might not fully understand. Imagine this: You have a hot-selling diamond, and you're about to make a killing. But suddenly, it sells out! How would that feel

And you know, my brother, I have a great network of contacts in this area. Gombaas, the famous diamond magnate from South Africa, is my friend.

He has 12 high-quality diamond mines under his control. Don't even think about it, with just one diamond industry base, or even three or five, he could still maintain a stable supply.

He wasn't lying. The majority of Kunpeng Group's diamonds come from Okavango.

Gao Xiaogong was completely prepared this time. In order to get the general manager position, he had summarized three trump cards for himself beforehand.

The first one is about one's identity and experience, but Ye Bufan and Gao Dagang didn't care much about it and it didn't have the desired effect.

The second trump card is his resources in the diamond industry. In his view, without his involvement, it would be very difficult for the newly established jade industrial base to find good supply channels.

Ye Bufan's lips curled into a slight smile. He didn't expect this guy to be friends with Gambaos, but he didn't know that Gambaos had already died.

If uttered before his own trip to Africa, Gao Xiaogong's words might have swayed him.

But now it's completely different. He doesn't need any supply channels at all. He has drained even Gombos' resources, and he doesn't even have the capacity to supply anything for a short period of time.

He said, "Mr. Gao, I appreciate your offer, but we currently have sufficient raw materials for diamonds in storage and don't need to order supplies in the near future."

Gao Daqiang also said to him, “That’s right, Big Brother. Xiaofan brought back a lot of diamond raw materials from Africa. It's enough for the short term.”

Gao Xiaogong obviously didn't think much of it, he didn't believe that Ye Bufan could bring back many diamonds just by going to Africa once.

He said, "Brother Ye, Daqiang, we're not running an ordinary jewelry store. We're operating a jade industry base, and the demand for diamonds is absolutely astronomical."

If you're going to do big business, we need to broaden our horizons, expand our vision, and raise the bar. What you lack is experience in this area.

Once the jade industry base is operational, millions of inventory will only last a few days and won't be sustainable in the long run.

Ye Bufan said: "Mr. Gao, you don't have to worry about that. We do have a lot of inventory."

Gao Xiaogong said disdainfully, "Ye younger brother, how much can you buy at a time Remember that we're in the jade industry base. We must have a stable supply channel."

As he spoke, contempt filled his heart. What a bumpkin, what a naive fool! Even with millions in savings, it's nothing to brag about. It's practically worthless.

Just then, the door opened and Lu Banxia walked in from outside, holding an A4 sheet of paper.

After entering the room, she glanced at Gao Xiaogong and then said to Ye Bufan: "Chairman, I had a professional appraisal done on that batch of diamonds you brought back earlier. Here are the results, please have a look."

Ye Bufan said, "I'm not very good at this stuff, just tell me the result!"

Lu Banxia said: "According to professional appraisal institutions, these diamonds are worth 2 billion yuan!"

"Um..."

Gao Xiaogong, who originally wore an expression of disdain, was now staring in astonishment. He had thought the other party's diamonds were at most worth tens of millions, but he never expected there to be as much as 2 billion yuan.

He was shocked, but Ye Bufan frowned: "Is the identification result accurate Why is it so little"

Lu Banxia quickly explained: "Oh! I'm sorry, Chairman. I forgot to tell you that we hired an international professional appraisal agency, and they use US dollars as the currency unit."

"

Pfft…"

Gao Xiaogong heard this result, he almost sputtered blood. 2 billion was actually dollars, which converted to Chinese currency was over 14 billion.

Such a massive storage capacity, even the Kunpeng Group's global jewelry store chain would probably be able to support it for ten or eight years.

Knowing that the goods stored are only raw diamonds, once they are processed and made into finished products, the added value can increase tenfold or even a hundredfold, making the overall value reach trillions or even tens of trillions.

"Then I understand, you go busy first."

After Lu Banxia left, Ye Bufan said to Gao Xiaogong: "Mr. Gao, as you just said, both I and Daqiang are outsiders in this area."

Then, could you please assess for us how long a diamond reserve of 2 billion dollars could support the operation of our jade industry base

"Uh... this... should last for a long time, we don't need to supply it in the short term."

However, no matter what, Gao Xiaogong has been in the business world for so many years, his skin is thick enough.

He quickly adjusted his mood and continued, "Brother Ye, actually people in the jade industry are lacking in some areas, the most important being in film and television."

If you want to enter the film industry, even if you have a lot of money, it will be difficult to achieve success in a short period of time if you don't have connections.

Think about it, if your film and television industry base was established, but you had no directors, actors, or singers and celebrities, even with a lot of money, it would be useless.

"Oh" Ye Bufan's lips curled into a playful smile as he asked, "So, Mr. Gao is quite well-connected in the film industry"

Gao Xiaogong said with a smug look, "Of course, I am the vice chairman of the Hong Kong Film and Television Entertainment Association."

Even in mainland China, where I have a significant influence and access to ample resources and connections, many entertainment company CEOs are my friends.

It's not an exaggeration to say that I could make a star in China within days, just by saying so.

If I were the general manager, our film company would quickly attract a star-studded lineup and achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time.

Seeing the second card fail, Gao Xiaogong had no choice but to play his last card.

In his eyes, the connections he had accumulated in the entertainment industry over the years were far beyond what this young doctor could compare to. This was his biggest trump card.a sip. The little girl gave a strange look: "Big brother, why does your wine taste weird It's different from the wine we used to drink."Looking at her innocent expression, Ye Bufan's face broke into a...
