"This is your diamond, Mr. Hartman, please check it out."

A small box of diamonds was placed in front of Mr. Hartman.

Mr. Hartman just glanced, took out a small diamond from it, and waved his hand.

The diamond was taken down.

"Bright diamonds, aren't they?" Mr. Hartman said with a smile.

"Yes, it always makes people intoxicated." Qiao Yuanfan also said with a smile.

"Diamond Alliance." Mr. Hartman was still turning the diamond in his hand: "Diamonds have always had many beautiful legends that have made countless people crazy. In fact, do you know that diamonds are nothing more than a huge scam."

"Scam?" Qiao Yuanfan was stunned for a moment.

Mr. Hartman smiled again and said, "Yes, in my opinion, the most successful brainwashing scam in history is diamonds. Why? Speaking of diamonds, we think it represents the beginning of a beautiful relationship and a happy marriage, but have everyone ever thought about who told you this? A long time ago, diamonds were only found in a few Indus Rivers and Brazilian jungles. The number of things can be found every year is very small, and it is reasonable to say that scarce things are expensive, and the price is expensive.

However, even if the price is high, you can't buy it just by wanting to buy it. At this time, diamonds were specially supplied by European nobles. After all, the world environment at this time was still in the global colonial stage.

It was not until 1870 that a huge diamond mine was discovered in South Africa. How big was this diamond mine? It was calculated directly in tons. Oh my God, it was calculated in tons? Look at how big the diamond in my hand is?

After discovering the drilling mine, the investors behind the diamond were very panicked. If so many diamonds entered the market, the price of diamonds would definitely be severely impacted. So diamond investors established a company called De Beers in 1888, which is this company. I think all men must remember it.

After the establishment of De Beers, he bought the mining rights of almost all the diamond mines around the world and used them to stabilize the price of diamonds to make huge profits for himself.

However, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. By the mid-twentieth century, artificial diamond technology emerged, not only with the same composition as natural diamonds, but also with stronger hardness and higher clarity.

Let’s just imagine that if artificial diamond technology is promoted on a large scale, then it will not only impact the price of diamonds, but it will be another question whether the diamond is worth it or not.

So De Beers thought of another idea and spent a lot of money to buy artificial diamond technology. De Beers completely monopolized the source of diamonds. When De Beers was the most powerful, he controlled 90% of the world's diamonds. In other words, diamonds were not priced by the market, but by De Beers. They set the price as much as they want.

Even so, in the 1930s, the price of diamonds in Europe collapsed.

Why? First, due to the impact of the economic crisis, people's purchasing ability has declined. Second, with the improvement of mining technology, the number of mining has been a bit too high.

In order to solve this problem, De Beers Company surrendered to the American tyrants across the ocean, just like the current European luxury goods targeting China's tyrants.

But at that time, the United States had no habit of consuming diamonds at all, which was a bit embarrassing.

For the wealthy De Beers company, can we train it without getting used to it? There are so many people using the training methods now, but De Beers company has even surpassed it, so the global brainwashing storm began.

First, De Beers spent a lot of money to advertise, newspapers, radio, billboards, and later television.

Debill’s company forcibly tied diamonds and love together. I have never understood what kind of relationship there is between love and diamonds.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it, just listen to it more and read it a few times and believe it; it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it, as long as your lover believes it; it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it and your lover, as long as your children believe it.

So an advertisement about love and diamonds began to land in the United States, and was bombarded in the United States for decades.

The slogan of "Love is forever, a piece of cake will last forever" Americans believed it, and they believed it deeply. At that time, three-quarters of diamonds in the world were consumed by Americans, and the scam of De Beers forcibly tied diamonds and love together was successful.

In the 1970s, De Beers Company targeted Japan, which had its economically soaring, and another series of bombarded advertisements. It took fourteen years to completely disintegrate Japan's traditional habits for more than 1,500 years.

Later, China's economy took off and they set their sights on China again. After 20 years of hard work, China has become the world's second largest diamond consumer.

But in my opinion, this slogan should be changed to 'Diamonds last forever, one will go bankrupt!'"

Qiao Yuanfan couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"As it still, I always believe that love and diamonds have no relationship. However, if you don't believe it, you will believe it if you say it a few more times, you will believe it if you say it a few more times, and your descendants will believe it if you say it a few more times. If you don't believe it, you are a person abandoned by the times. Although you are sober, you are also correct."

Mr. Hartman glanced at the diamond in his hand again, and then threw it away, just like he was thrown away:

"This is true for diamonds, and the same is true for other things. For example, our organization, whether it is the IFO or the Diamond Alliance, is constantly making up lies after lies there as they grow up. They are working hard to make these lies believe, be sure, and then make the greatest wealth from these people.

I have said more than once that it has come to change both organizations. Although there are very different things between Stephen and I, at least we have the same view on this point. I have worked hard for a long time and I have succeeded. Your child has become the final adjudicator of the Diamond Alliance. Now, it’s time for I F O.”

"I know, I know." Qiao Yuanfan put away his smile and murmured: "This is very dangerous, very dangerous. As long as I take a little wrong step, my child will be crushed to pieces. However, since this plan has been launched, there is no possibility of staying there again. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will walk with my child."

"And Stephen and me," Mr. Hartman said with great certainty: "We may not be able to help your child achieve his ultimate dream, but at least, we can do everything we can to protect him."

"That's enough, and I've always believed in my kids."
