Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight jewelry business status quo
Several people followed Yang Hao to a corner of the market. The place was now just like when Mr. Tang played stone gambling for the first time. Stone gambling stalls were scattered in the yard. Each stone gambling stall had a number on it. Yang Hao's
The urban stall is No. 13, and his younger brother Yang Quan is sitting there introducing gambling stones to the customers. Tell the cabinet official Oh Gao Qi Bai
"Boss Tang, Boss Wang, Miss Zheng, you can take a look at it. We just imported a batch of gambling stones from Myanmar some time ago. Although some of them performed well and were selected to join the Stone Gambling Club, there are also many left. I guess
I won't let you down." Yang Hao pointed to the gambling stone on the ground.
Young Master Tang looked at it for a few times and nodded secretly. If the gambling stones brought by Yang Hao were still the ones he had seen before, there was really no need for him to look at them again...
"Brother, come here and greet Boss Tang, Boss Wang and Miss Zheng." Yang Hao shouted to Yang Quan.
There were already several people looking at this stall before Mr. Tang and the others came, and Yang Quan was also enthusiastically explaining to the guests the factory where these gambling stones came from, the performance of the stone skin, and other basic knowledge.
When Yang Quan heard this, he turned around and saw Mr. Tang. His eyes suddenly lit up. Is the God of Wealth here?
When Young Master Tang was at the resort, he chose a gambling stone from Yang Hao. The price of the stone increased sharply, and everyone found out where he bought the gambling stone. As a result, Yang Hao's gambling stone stall was almost crowded.
The gambling stones were all sold out, and from then on, Young Master Tang became known as the God of Wealth in Yang Hao's eyes...
Then the second time Young Master Tang met Yang Hao at a jewelry exhibition, he came to Yang Hao's stone gambling stall again and met Yang Quan. At first, Yang Quan was dismissive of Young Master Tang because Young Master Tang continued to gamble.
Shi doesn't understand the rules and doesn't believe that Young Master Tang is a 'God of Wealth'...
However, later he met He Shuo, and a fierce battle took place between the two. Young Master Tang won unbelievably, and all the stones he chose to bet on rose sharply, especially the top-grade red jade, which shocked the entire audience.
When Fengxiang's boss saw it, he offered hundreds of millions to buy it, and gave a 10% premium to the rest of the jadeite.
That time, Young Master Tang's performance conquered the audience, including Yang Quan. Stone gambling merchants are often experts at stone gambling, because in order to maximize their profits, they often cut some full gambling materials into half gambling materials for sale.
In order to obtain greater benefits.
Masters of stone gambling often admire people who are more powerful than themselves. Even if Yang Quan is not a master of stone gambling, he comes from a family of stone gamblers and naturally has a kind of admiration for masters of stone gambling that ordinary people cannot feel.
"God of Wealth? Idol? Oh no, Boss Tang is here. You can choose the gambling stones here as you like." Yang Quan saw Young Master Tang as if he was seeing an idol.
"Haha, brother, I didn't expect you to have such a fan, but he calls you the God of Wealth." Wang Jun said with a smile.
"Sweat, Brother Wang, what are you talking about?" Mr. Tang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This Yang Quan was so funny. The name of the God of Wealth was still on his lips.
"Xiao Quan, don't be too young or old. This is Boss Wang, and this is Miss Zheng. Didn't you meet me last time? How do you say hello?" Compared to Yang Quan, Yang Hao is much more sophisticated. Although the God of Wealth is a foreigner,
He gave it to Young Master Tang, but he never expressed it directly in front of Young Master Tang.
"Hello, Boss Wang, hello Miss Zheng." Yang Quan was scolded by his brother, his face turned red, and he hurriedly saluted Wang Jun and Zheng Yating.
"Haha, Boss Yang, you should be busy with your work. Let's take a look first." Young Master Tang said with a smile. His task has been completed now, and he is not very eager to cut stones to make money. Let's take a look.
It’s not too late to buy a jadeite that’s in high price or a top-quality jadeite that catches your eye.
"Okay, Boss Tang, just watch." Yang Hao said wisely. He understood that Young Master Tang didn't want him to interfere with him too much.
"Brother, let's look at it separately first, and you can help me check it later," Wang Jun said.
"Well, no problem." Young Master Tang nodded.
"Why, you don't want to bet on stones today?" Zheng Yating asked as if she saw something.
"Haha, that's not the case. I spent the afternoon cutting stones yesterday and I'm a little tired of it. Let's take a look first and then take action when we find something suitable." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Well, that's fine. Why don't we just take a stroll here first." Zheng Yating nodded.
"Okay, this is my first time coming to this stone gambling party. There are so many people." Young Master Tang said.
"Wrong, you should say that there are so many rich people. Most of the people who come here at this time are rich people who want to have fun. Of course, there are also people who come here to travel and gain experience, but there are very few of these people."
Zheng Yating smiled.
"Well, that's true. Those who can afford to play stone gambling must have a certain social status. Otherwise, it is not playing but gambling. I'm afraid this thing is no different from gambling." Tang Dashao said.
"Haha, gambling is gambling with people, and gambling on stones is gambling with the sky. They are all gambling. The gambling on stones may seem bright and bright, but there are many stories hidden behind these gambling on stones. Myanmar is now investigating the gambling on stones very much.
"Strictly, gambling stones are only allowed to be obtained from the public gambling stone market, and private trading is strictly prohibited. Most of the gambling stones placed here are smuggled over. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were exchanged for human lives." Zheng Yating smiled lightly.
She said, this is what her family does. She is very familiar with this. A certain gambling stone may be stained with a person's blood. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is absolutely true. This is smuggling!
After hearing this, Young Master Tang was silent for a moment and shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, what is the situation in our store now?"
"You finally asked about the situation in the store. I thought you would remain silent." Zheng Yating rolled her eyes at Young Master Tang and said.
"Haha, I don't have to worry about you taking care of the store." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"The mainland branch is running well here. At present, in addition to Haishi, five stores have been opened in other places such as Beijing. Due to the high cost of opening a store and the relatively high upfront investment, although the stores that have been opened are doing well,
But most of this turnover is used to purchase goods and support the opening of new stores, so in a short period of time, you will not have any dividends." Zheng Yating said.
"Well, you can just take care of it. I really don't know much about business matters, so I'd better leave it to you Zheng. Having professional staff take care of it will save you a lot of worry." Mr. Tang nodded.
"There are no problems in opening the store in all aspects, but now we are encountering some troubles," Zheng Yating said.
"What's the trouble?" Young Master Tang asked.
"In terms of raw materials, the jewelry sold by Zheng's Jewelry Shop is not only jade, but also gold and silver jewelry, pearls, gemstones, diamonds, jade, and other things that can be made into jewelry. Gold and silver jewelry, pearls, gemstones,
The sources of platinum, diamonds, etc. are relatively stable at present, but the sources of jade and jade are more difficult.
Let’s not talk about jade. Only Myanmar produces jade in the world. The risk of gambling on stones is high, so the supply of jade raw materials has always been a problem. Originally, the supply was quite sufficient, and the family had some connections in Myanmar. However, with the development of the mainland market, in order to
In order to seize market share, we have to transfer a large amount of jade jewelry from the headquarters to fill it, which has led to the current shortage of jade supply.
There is also jade. Most of the current jade sources are Qinghai jade and Kunlun jade. The texture of Qinghai jade is not as good as Kunlun jade, especially Hetian jade, which is the representative of Kunlun jade. There is a jade prince in Xinjiang who controls the supply of Kunlun jade. I don’t know what happened recently.
Whether it is the depletion of the Jade Prince mine or other reasons, the source of jade has been restricted, limiting our Zheng family to only one-third of the jade in the past. Now coupled with the mainland market, although the family still has some stocks, I think it is also
I can't hold on for too long." Zheng Yating said.
"Didn't I buy a lot of jade last time when I invested in jade? So much jade was sold out so quickly?" Young Master Tang was a little dazed after hearing Zheng Yating's description. Last time at the jewelry exhibition, Young Master Tang was...
Removed jade worth hundreds of millions...,
"Of course not. Don't you know that the jade you solved last time was basically high-end jade? Ice jade is extremely expensive. A pair of ice bracelets costs more than one million. How many people can afford it? Even if it is
A small ice-type hanging rack starts at 100,000 yuan, and not many people can afford it." Zheng Yating shook her head.
"You mean, although there are a lot of these jadeite, they can't be sold? Instead, mid- to low-end jadeites are better sold?" Young Master Tang asked in a daze.
"It's not that it can't be sold, it's that it needs to be sold slowly. High-end jadeite is the symbol of a store. In many jewelry stores, a bracelet made from an ice species is regarded as a treasure of the store and is not for sale. Compared to
High-end jadeite and mid-to-low-end jadeite are the main sales force, such as oil green jadeite and bean green jadeite. The value of this kind of jadeite jewelry is not too high. A pendant can cost tens of thousands, and a bracelet can cost tens of thousands. Ordinary wealthy families can afford it.
If you can afford it, ice jade is only for high-end products, but our mid- to low-end jade is out of stock in large quantities." Zheng Yating shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Other people's houses are short of high-end jadeite, so they finally get an ice bracelet to use as a store treasure. See if it works, but if it's for sale, it won't work. Of course, this also depends on the price...
But it's different here. In terms of high-end jadeite, there are blood jadeite and ice jadeite provided by Mr. Tang, which can last for a long time. However, the mid- to low-end jadeite is somewhat out of stock. Although Zheng's Jewelry Shop has some inventory after all,
If you want to make long-term plans, you can’t leave everything to the mainland branch at once...
"So that's it. It seems that I should get more mid-to-low-end jade raw materials." Young Master Tang said with a smile. If it weren't for Zheng Yating to worry about the supply of goods, Young Master Tang really wouldn't want to get it.
After all, it is also cutting stone, and the value of ice jade is much higher than that of oil green jade and bean green jade...
