Although Han Peacock likes to collect, he is not a collector with the personality of Pixiu. When he sees good things, he will not want to buy them for his family without leaving any room for others.{{<([[[
Especially his brothers, what they have is not much different from what he has. Besides, there are a lot of coral products here. Even if they are divided among four people, each of them will have a lot.
Besides, Han Peacock has a lot of good things in his hands, and the lack of some coral products is really nothing.
In the following days, amid the bustling tourist tide, Han Peacock sent Chen Qing and others away.
In the past six months, the Golden Bull Museum has displayed treasures one after another, and it has also set up an antique trading market, which can be said to have made the local economy leap to a new level.
This also allowed Han Peacock to gain a firm foothold in the local area. There is such a benefit in the United States. As long as you are rich and powerful and can bring benefits to the locals, everyone will support you and let you go.
Within the vast scope of Jinniu Ranch and Jinniu Museum, Han Kongque is the emperor of the land, because all the land belongs to him, and everyone who enters his land is equivalent to entering Han Kongque's home. This is the most common situation in the United States.
It's important.
Therefore, even the very arrogant police in the United States keep away from Han Peacock, because if they dare to find trouble, Han Peacock's bodyguards can kill them directly.
Because if those police officers are not careful, they will get the reputation of breaking into private houses. If they really prove this, even if they are shot to death indiscriminately, their death will be in vain.
"The situation has been a bit bad recently. I think it would be a good idea for you to leave the United States for a while." In the chaotic space, Han Peacock held Liu Catkin in his arms, while Liu Catkin lay lazily in his ear, whispering softly.
"Well! The economy is in bad shape, and everyone wants to take advantage of other countries." Han Peacock naturally knew that Americans were not good people.
"If the economy continues to deteriorate, provoking a war is the only way to shift the contradiction." Liu Xu said.
"Americans are not that unwise. They just want to attract the attention of people around the world. Even if they provoke a war, they are picking on soft persimmons. For example, if they mess up in the Middle East, other countries can take advantage of the fire and get some benefits.
So it is okay to provoke China, but if we provoke a war with China, we will have to fight World War III. Not to mention whether we can fight a war under nuclear deterrence, but just thinking about the consequences of a war, no one will dare to act rashly.
" Han Peacock said.
"Well, you can see clearly. However, your pace has been too fast recently, which has caused overproduction of gems. Fortunately, you have collected most of the gems. If you put them on the market, the business will be even more difficult." Liu Xu said.
Han Kongque was stunned and said: "You mean the jewelry company?"
Liu Xu said: "Yes, there is a lot of pressure on beauties recently. It seems that the domestic jewelry market has shrunk sharply. Not only jewelry, but also gold products are not easy to sell."
"How could this happen?" Han Peacock was a little dumbfounded. Too many jewelry would be a problem?
Liu Xu said: "I've also noticed that it's not normal for me to find beauties recently, so I paid some attention and got to know the jewelry market a little bit. I found that business has been hard to do recently."
"Why didn't I feel it?" Han Kongque thought about it carefully, and he really didn't pay attention to this aspect.
Liu Xu smiled and said: "With your help in the early stage, Phoenix Jewelry was not affected. On the contrary, due to the raw materials you provided, Phoenix Jewelry's expansion increased, but this cannot cover up the shrinking of the global market, especially the domestic market."
The year 2014 is a sensitive turning point for the jewelry industry. The market is severely oversupplied, industrial transformation and upgrading are weak, and product homogeneity is common. The survival of jewelry companies in 2014 has been unprecedentedly difficult.
Although jewelry companies of different formats and sizes have different feelings, and different categories and varieties of jewelry products are unevenly hot and cold, jewelry companies all have a general feeling of sluggish sales.
"Why is the jewelry market performing poorly?" Han Kongque really didn't think of this, because he had the impression that there were countless Chinese aunts who speculated in gold. What is going on now?
"According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2014, my country's total jewelry retail market sales dropped from nearly 700 billion yuan in 2013 to about 500 billion yuan, of which the national gold consumption was 886.09 tons, a decrease of 24.68% from the previous year. "As if he had guessed what Han Peacock was thinking, Liu Catkin directly pointed out the slow sales of gold.
In fact, not only gold, but other jewelry and jade are also unsaleable.
In 2o14, the jade market was the coldest. Whether it was a professional market, a store or a counter, the popularity was generally not strong. The sales performance of most companies continued to decrease by %~60% compared with 2o13. The sales of a considerable number of companies did not cover operating costs. In the past, "
The situation of buying jade like buying cabbage is gone forever.
Since last year, due to the weak market, important jadeite land parcels such as Jieyang and Shenzhen in Guangdong Province have been slow to sell.
The "bear market" in the jade market has lasted for three or four years. Last year, the sales of most jade companies such as white jade, crystal, and agate dropped by 20%~%. Many jade shops in Urumqi have posted "
Advertisements for "20% off sale" and "sale with tears".
That is to say, large first-tier cities such as the Magic City have high consumption power, so this decline is not so obvious. In other places, such as Qilu Land and several large gold and jewelry cities in Quancheng, more than half of the shops are closed.
.
Sales of jewelry that combine gold and jade, which were once popular, have also declined slightly, and the sales of the entire jade market may be less than 15 billion yuan.
In January 2015, the China Jewelry Association sent several teams to investigate more than 600 jewelry companies in 9 provinces and cities in the southeast and found that in 2014, the sales of more than 90% of companies dropped by more than 10% compared with 2013.
The total of nine listed jewelry companies including Shanxiahu, Chaohongji, Lao Fengxiang, and Mingpai Jewelry was 2.2885 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 9.42%.
According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, in 2014, my country's exports of other precious metal products were US$5.233 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 56.93%.
Gold and silverware exports were US$1.24 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 41.27%; pearl exports were US$122 million, a year-on-year decrease of 35.5%; pearl or gem and semi-precious stone product exports were US$708.7 million, a year-on-year decrease of 25.34%.
According to statistics from the China National Commercial Information Center, in 2014, the retail sales of the country's 100 key large-scale retail enterprises only increased by 0.4% year-on-year, among which the retail sales of gold, silver and jewelry fell by 11.6% year-on-year.
"-2.4% is the year-on-year growth rate of China's gold and silver jewelry retail sales in the first two months of 2o15. Judging from the first quarter reports of many jewelry and jewelry retail industry listed companies, most companies are operating in the first quarter.
Revenue continues to decline year-on-year, and the operating income of some companies even fell by more than 50%." Liuxu has a good memory, and she comes up with a series of numbers casually.
Han Kongque became more and more frightened when he heard this: "How could this happen? I couldn't tell it at all last year."
"In fact, it was a false prosperity. At that time, all industries were probably looking for successors, so these series of negative reports were concealed. But now, they can't even hide it, so they have been exposed," Liu Xu said.
.
The most obvious feeling is the gold market. After experiencing a bull market for ten years, the gold market is now on the path of a bear market.
In the first quarter of 2o15, China's total demand for gold jewelry was 213.2 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 10%, making it the country with the largest decline in demand this quarter.
In the first half of 2015, sales of rough diamonds dropped by 21% year-on-year; the market for platinum was not optimistic; and the price of silver was around RMB 3 per gram.
According to relevant data, the demand for gold jewelry in Xiangjiang in the first quarter of this year was 13.6 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 26%.
In the first half of 2o15, Hong Kong’s well-known jewelry brand Chow Sang Sang closed 10 branches in the mainland.
Not long ago, there was an incident in the Xiangjiang jewelry market that forced tourists from Mainland China to enter the store for consumption, resulting in the death of one tourist. This undoubtedly reflects the sluggish situation of the Xiangjiang jewelry market.
Now, the professional jewelry market in Beijing is also in recession, and some of them have become unsustainable.
According to observations, Tianan, Di'an Jewelry City, and Locke Jewelry City near the Asian Games Village have all been closed; a 24-hour club-style jewelry store near Chang'an Street and Xidan also closed down due to too few customers three years after its opening.
Forced to close.
In addition, many businesses have withdrawn from Sun Palace and National Jewelry City, and some of the remaining shops are not open even on weekends.
In the Dazhong Temple Collection Market, each store used to have to pay an entrance fee of 20,000 yuan when entering the market. Now, the market office has posted advertisements at the door, and there are a large number of vacant single-room shops or counters for rent.
Compared with the past, the professional jewelry market has become a world of ice and fire.
"Now, there is a general fear in the industry. If this situation continues, will it lead to a market collapse?" Liu Xu said.
"No way?" Han Peacock was a little dumbfounded.
Although he said this, Han Kongque also knew that "crazy stones" were a thing of the past. After years of double-digit growth, the domestic jewelry industry suddenly slowed down.
What happened in the gold and jewelry market? What is the reason that caused the once prosperous jewelry market to fall into the current predicament?
"I did some research on this. The current sluggish jewelry market is the result of many factors." Liu Xu said.
This time she came here just to talk to Han Peacock about this issue, but Han Peacock did much better than she imagined.
Since there is overproduction in the market, we can shift the target, for example, to museums. Museums are not afraid of too many things. Han Peacock has done this very well. (To be continued.) 8
