The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 708 The World Is Not Peaceful! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The Jade Exchange Centre in Kowloon Walled City, with its diamond-studded reputation, has become a top jewelry destination in the East Asian Chinese community.

From 1974 to 1985, the top jewelry battle between jade and diamonds caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

During this period, they engaged in all sorts of smear campaigns and mudslinging; there was nothing they wouldn't do.

All the advertising companies that got involved, and even small jewelry companies, were eventually crushed to ashes.

The advertising slogan "A diamond is forever" was immediately and thoroughly criticized upon its release.

Physicists immediately came forward to refute it.

Synthetic diamonds have existed for a long time, although their quality is not very good. However, with the rapid development of technology, who knows if we will be able to create synthetic diamonds that are purer than natural diamonds in the future?
Will natural diamonds still be in such high demand by then?

Anyway, a physicist refuted the claims on television, turning the advertising company that promoted the diamonds into a bunch of bumpkins who didn't understand physics.

That wasn't enough. It wasn't until Nanhua Group used its ultimate weapon that this decade-long battle for top-tier jewelry was finally quelled.

Of course, this only applies to East Asia and Southeast Asia.

The jade trading center announced that it can buy back all jade jewelry at the original price, or even at the price at the time, within ten years.

Even if there are damaged items, we will try our best to recycle them at more than 50% of the original price.

This time, diamond and jeweler merchants dared not follow suit.

Who knows how many diamond jewelry pieces there are in the world?
Since the British developed the Kimberley region of South Africa, nearly a century has passed, and who knows how many diamonds are actually circulating in the world?
Besides, Kimberley is just the world's largest diamond mine; there are diamond mines in other places too.

There are scattered mineral deposits in China and Russia, but they are all very small in scale.

If diamond jewelers really dare to take back their diamonds, who knows if the massive wealth they control can withstand the depletion?
This is a huge victory for the Jade Center!

Unfortunately, despite the long-running and high-profile competition among top jewelry brands, it failed to make any waves in Europe and America.

In the first few years, newspapers in Europe and America would occasionally report on it.

However, as the Jade Center gained more and more attention, this kind of news basically disappeared from European and American newspapers.

There wasn't even a tiny report about it.

The move by the Western media was documented by the South China media and even made into a documentary.

Once the battle for top jewelry brands came to an end, the documentary was broadcast on South China Television, mainland television stations, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan television stations, as well as television stations in Russia and Eastern European countries.

The name is terrifying, reminiscent of the sensationalist headlines of later generations.

But it must be said that it is perfectly appropriate to place it at this time.

This is likely the first time someone has disclosed a report on global media hegemony, which has attracted considerable attention.

After the audience finished watching the program, they felt a chill run down their spines.

The competition among top jewelry brands in Hong Kong Island quickly became the focus of numerous television stations and newspapers.

They had heard about it before, and it was reported from time to time.

However, this international business battle between giants left no trace in the media of Europe and America, as if it had never happened at all.

The conclusion is that the West's control over public opinion has reached a terrifying level!

If they wanted to, they could completely block information about anything happening outside of Europe and America. Even Russia, which claims to control everything, and China itself, can't do that. Isn't that terrifying?
At the same time, a new topic was raised, which instantly attracted special attention from Russia, Eastern Europe, and China.

Even media outlets from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and India have joined in the fun.

It seems that ever since Russia conducted its August 1st military exercise, its domestic and Eastern European media coverage of the Western world has been predominantly positive.

This is true not only in Russia and Eastern Europe, but also in China!
Is this normal?

Even a fool would know that this situation is highly abnormal!

When Nanhua raised this equally alarming topic, they immediately turned and ran, refusing to get involved at all.

Surprisingly, the reactions from Russia, Eastern Europe, and China were all subtle, as if they were deliberately trying to downplay the topic.

However, local media, media from all over the world, as well as media from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and India, all eager to stir up trouble, actively reported on the matter.

The result was quite shocking.

Wu Aiguo planted a bomb through Nanhua, but it was just a small test.

The outside world's attention suddenly shifted from the jewelry industry to a certain sensational topic.

Nanhua, having control of jadeite raw materials, earns annual revenue in the billions of dollars.

In particular, when the economies of East Asia and Southeast Asia begin to rise rapidly, or even take off, Nan Hua's profits from jade will grow rapidly.

In fact, at this time, the economy of Nanhua was highly intertwined with that of the rest of China.

Nanhua's infrastructure development needs strong support from the domestic government; otherwise, relying solely on Nanhua itself, the pace of infrastructure construction would be extremely slow.

At the same time, the transaction volume of various mechanical equipment, machine tools, and raw materials is also increasing.

The emergence of the South China market has helped many state-owned enterprises in China obtain stable and reliable orders, enabling them to operate normally.

Meanwhile, Nanhua's industrial development also made rapid progress during this process.

In particular, in the electronics industry, several large-scale electronics industrial parks have been built from scratch, which have begun to support Nanhua and have even begun to compete for the world market through overseas trade channels.

As a result, the scale of various exchanges between China and South China is growing larger and the frequency is increasing.

Under such circumstances, some good things followed, and similarly, some seemingly bad things also began to emerge in Nanhua.

Wu Aiguo clearly saw that in the future, while developing its economy, Nanhua would also have to deal with certain abnormal groups.

Because of the close relationship with the country, certain underhanded methods cannot be used against certain individuals.

At this point, a solid foundation becomes very important.

The situation in China can be described as chaotic, with all sorts of monsters and demons emerging.

In the later era of short videos, the origins and reasons for these things are explained very clearly, making them easy to understand.

However, these guys are not simple individuals, and dealing with them is not an easy task. Moreover, the country will not allow Nanhua to act recklessly.

Therefore, Wu Aiguo was very supportive of Li Kuiyong's idea and even further refined the plan.
