Chapter 10 The Fall of Cartier, the King of Jewels in the World

Cartier Jewelry Company, known as the king of jewelry in the world, was destined to escape the disaster from the moment Zhang Meng targeted her.

As a capable player around Zhang Meng, Madoff and Snooker once again combined their swords and staged a great show of annexing Cartier.

After Snooker's request to acquire Cartier for wholly was unanimously rejected by the three Cartier brothers, he ordered a batch of jewelry from Cartier as a buyer, with a total amount of up to 13 million US dollars.

The three Cartier brothers were frowning because of the market downturn. After learning that Snooker's sincerity in appreciating Cartier Jewelry, they immediately agreed happily after seeing his huge order request.

Due to the huge amount, Snooker was asked to pay a deposit of $3 million first. However, Snooker also asked that the batch of jewelry must be completed with quality and quantity within three months, otherwise the breach of contract will be fully compensated according to Cartier's promise of one compensation and three payments.

For the three Cartier brothers, it was no problem to complete this batch of jewelry in three months with the exquisite craftsmanship of their company's designer team and jewelry maker. Therefore, they happily agreed to Snooker's request, signed relevant liability clauses with him, and handed them over to the New York Notary Office for notarization.

Snooker never made any excessive requests to Katia Company since then, but just visited the progress of jewelry production as usual. Seeing that Snooker was indeed a sincere buyer, the three brothers gradually felt relieved.

A month later, a dark night, a theft occurred in the building of the Katiya headquarters. The vault used to keep jewelry was stolen, and hundreds of pieces of jewelry worth $40 million were stolen. These included part of the jewelry in the snooker order.

Because five of the fifteen security guards on duty who were guarding the vault that night disappeared, all the other ten died. Diana, the wife of Jamis, one of the three brothers of Cartier who was in charge of the vault keys, was nowhere to be seen. The New York Police Department determined that Jamis's wife Diana, together with the five security guards, stole ten other colleagues who refused to cooperate with them, and then opened the vault and stole all the jewelry and fled.

The New York police immediately issued the highest wanted order to arrest Diana and five other security guards. They promised the three Cartier brothers to solve the case as soon as possible, but the incident has not been caught for decades, because Diana and the five security guards had long disappeared from the earth, and their bodies were packed in sacks and airlifted through Boeing 247d aircraft to the Atlantic Ocean thousands of kilometers away from New York.

Can easily open the vault and insured door of Cardia. Can kill fifteen well-trained security guards silently, arrange Boeing 247d aircraft to destroy corpses, and plan outsiders' theft cases into internal custody and self-stealing cases. Those with such strength, technology and IQ may find it difficult to find out other people except for the Blue Fox Special Service Team trained by Zhang Meng.

The person responsible for carrying out this mission was the Mountain Eagle Commando under the Blue Fox Special Service Team. Zhang Meng sent them to assist the two in completing the acquisition plan of Cardia at the request of Snooker and Madoff.

After the theft, the three brothers Kadiya naturally beat their feet and stamped their chests sadly. Especially Jamies' two brothers believed that their sister-in-law and the security guard stole the jewelry in the vault, which made them become a estrangement from Jamies.

Snooker met with the three brothers of Cardia on the third day after the incident, asking them about the theft, and also paying attention to whether his orders could be delivered on time.

The three brothers Katiya naturally promised that there was no problem. Only Snooker laughed in his heart. These three brothers were afraid that they would be anxious to death.

The theft incident caused heavy losses to Cardia, but if the snooker order cannot be completed on time, then what awaits them will be heavy punishments and disgrace.

The three brothers of Cardia immediately contacted their channel supplier and planned to repurchase the goods and complete the snooker order first. However, the suppliers said that the jewelry raw stones they requested were bought by a merchant named Madoff. It would take at least three months to restock them in a short period of time.

The three brothers of Cardia were immediately panicked and hurriedly asked for Madoff's whereabouts and asked someone to introduce them.

Madoff deliberately delayed the meeting for a few days. When the three Cardia brothers were anxious to stop Madoff's car in the street, Madoff liked to negotiate with them.

Obviously, Madoff and Snooker are in the same group.

However, the three brothers of Katia, who were so anxious that they had lost their original vigilance. When Madoff offered twice the price of the raw stones they bought from the channel supplier, the three brothers of Katia were stunned. But they thought that if they could not get the raw stones, they would not be able to complete the construction on time, and they would have to compensate Snooker three times the compensation, which is $39 million in liquidated damages. If they had not been stolen, they might have the financial resources, but after the theft incident, they would not be able to provide this huge sum of money. What awaited them was sentence and company bankruptcy.

The three brothers of Cardia gritted their teeth and accepted it. They spent $12 million to buy the raw stone materials from Madoff. In this way, even if they completed the jewelry required by snooker on schedule, they would lose money.

What's more, it's impossible for Snooker and Madoff to let these three brothers escape.

In fact, Madoff could not have sold the original stone to the three brothers of Cardia, otherwise they would definitely complete the order of snooker and would have to compensate him 39 million US dollars. But Madoff knew that with the family fortunes of the three brothers of Cardia over the years, they would likely sell their property and keep this company with more than 80 years of history. In that case, Madoff would not be able to complete the task assigned to him by Zhang Meng.

Therefore, Madoff sold the raw stone to the three brothers Cardia at a high price in order to further compress the assets in the hands of the three brothers. Because he knew that the three brothers had no working capital after the company was stolen before, they mortgaged their real estate and part of the company's equity to the New York Bank and used the New York Bank's loan to pay the raw stone.

Madoff needed to continue to force the three brothers until they mortgaged all the company's equity to the bank. At that time, Madoff's dealing with bank dealers was much easier than with the three brothers.

The three brothers of Katiya were preparing to pay for the money to complete the order. They asked the craftsmen to work 24 hours a day, but also required quality and quantity guaranteed. This immediately caused complaints from the craftsmen.

Snooker took the opportunity to bribe these craftsmen, and he offered generous treatment to lure them. In the end, Snooker poached most of the elite designers and craftsmen of Cartier with two to three times the salary, resulting in Cartier's serious shortage of workers for a while, and as a result, three months later, it was unable to deliver orders to Snooker on time.

Snooker immediately turned against them and asked Cartier to immediately compensate him for all his losses. At this time, the three brothers of Cartier could not afford 39 million US dollars in compensation, and if they could not compensate, Cartier would face a lawsuit. At that time, Cartier's reputation would be greatly affected.

On weekdays, the three brothers were very harmonious, but at the critical moment, the three brothers immediately started to have internal conflicts. They undoubtedly all blamed the third brother. So the third brother sold the equity directly to Snooker in anger.

After Snooker acquired one-third of the equity, he once again asked the other two brothers to acquire Katia Company. The conditions were the same as before, and he would not pursue liability for breach of contract. He would maintain the image of Katia Company.

The two brothers thought about it and finally agreed to transfer Cartier to Snooker.

On July 14, 1931, Cartier changed its owner that day. This top international jewelry company, founded in 1847, has 178 branches around the world. It is known as the emperor of the jeweler and the emperor's jeweler. It ended after more than 80 years of his journey.

Zhang Meng, the new owner of Cartier Company, established the Datang Royal Jewelry Company. It turned out that Cartier Company had all 602 jewelry design patents and were merged into the branch of Datang Royal Jewelry Company. It turned out that all employees continued to retain high salaries.

Taking advantage of Cartier's relationship network and its attraction to the powerful and powerful classes in all countries around the world, the title of Datang Royal Jewelry Company appeared on the list of top international jewelry industries for the first time. It caused a lot of sensation.

The three Cartier brothers are not easy to bully. Although they transferred Cartier company to Zhang Meng, it does not mean that they will not make a comeback.

Not long after, the three Cartier brothers each set up jewelry companies and used the network of relationships they had left behind when they dealt with the powerful and powerful classes in Europe and the United States to try to regain the favor of these powerful and powerful people.

It has to be admitted that the three Cartier brothers are all geniuses in the jewelry industry. Many of the jewelry they designed are loved by the powerful and powerful European and American classes. Unfortunately, there is a gap between the three brothers. They did not start a business together, but fought each other, and ended up dispersing their strength.

After Datang Royal Jewelry Company acquired Cartier Company, although it obtained Cartier's original huge sales network and sales channels, the designers and craftsmen of the original Cartier Company also re-launched a series of exquisite jewelry products, achieving a good market response. However, some European and American powerful people still questioned whether Datang Royal Company could play the level of Cartier Company in the future. Their questions once affected the international image of Datang Royal Jewelry Company.

After Zhang Meng learned about it, he immediately drew out more than a dozen world-class jewelry designs from the 21st century and gave them beautiful names full of Eastern and Western cultural heritage. These include the "Unsweet to Death" marriage series, the "Love Endless" couple ring series, the "Eternal Heart", the "Greek Goddess" and other series. These jewelry that mix and match rare metals such as diamonds, gems and gold, silver are designed by world-class masters in later generations, and are almost all products that have been popular all over the world.

After being created by professional designers and craftsmen, it immediately attracted unanimous surprise from the powerful and wealthy people all over the world, especially those noble ladies who fell in love at first sight after taking a look. No matter how much money, they would dare to buy it as long as the Datang Jewelry Company is willing to offer it.

The Tang Dynasty Royal Jewelry Company naturally firmly adheres to Zhang Meng's jewelry marketing strategy of "not seeking the best, but seeking the most expensive".

For a time, the Royal Jewelry Company of Datang was famous all over the world. The jewelry it designed was popular all over the world and was famous for being the most expensive jeweler in the world. No matter any product it has, it is almost twice the price of similar products in the same industry.
