... Perhaps seeing the flash of surprise on Liu Dong's face, Dongsu smiled and said: "When I was at the auction, I noticed that Mr. Liu was also bidding for rubies and sapphires, and I happened to have some in my hand.
So I brought it here together this time, I hope Mr. Liu likes it!"
Although Myanmar is a world-famous country of gems, as one of the poorest countries in the world, the domestic consumption level of top jewelry is too narrow!
In response to the current situation, the Myanmar government encourages the development of domestic jewelry companies and has appropriately reduced tariffs on exports of finished jewelry, hoping to increase employment.
& nbsp
Jewelers have a backlog of top-quality jewelry!
& nbsp
By purchasing raw materials and processing them yourself, you can gain more profits while suppressing Myanmar's jewelry industry.
Small and medium-sized jewelers also have the same purpose, and compared to them, this kind of top-level jewelry is too risky!
It is precisely for this reason that some of Myanmar's top jewelry are cheaper than Liu Dong, who has the mustard space to smuggle them with the lowest risk!
So, after Dongsu finished speaking, Liu Dong smiled and said: "I like it very much. If Mr. Dongsu has such top-notch jewelry in the future, whether it is jade, ruby, sapphire, pearl, or diamond, topaz, etc.
You can come to me to sell Myanmar’s specialty gemstones. As I said, I can get as much as I want, and the price is fair!”
& nbsp
A supply channel that cannot be given up!
"Haha, Mr. Liu is really generous!" Dongsu said with a smile.
With Liu Dong’s guarantee, he has found a new way to make money. Who doesn’t want to make money!
Liu Dong smiled and said, "Can you open the fourth box now and let me take a look?"
“Of course, of course!”
After nodding repeatedly, Dongsu quickly opened the fourth wooden box. As expected, it contained mainly top-grade sapphire jewelry. And compared with rubies, these 29 rings, 3 necklaces, 6 earrings, and 13 brooches
Inlaid sapphires are generally larger in size.
Especially the cut drop-shaped sapphire in the center. It is dark blue overall, extremely pure in color, and very transparent. More importantly, its weight should not be less than 80 carats at first glance, making it a rare treasure!
Seeing these top-notch jewelry, Liu Dong was very satisfied and immediately said: "12 million euros, I want them all!"
12 million euros is equivalent to 100 million Chinese coins, which is in line with the market situation of top jewelry in Myanmar! So Dongsu just nodded after a brief consideration!
The two parties reached an agreement, and Liu Dong immediately drafted a contract. After both parties signed, Liu Dong took out a checkbook from HSBC Bank, filled out a check of 12 million and gave it to the other party.
As one of the few jewelers in Myanmar, Dongsu was naturally able to tell the authenticity of HSBC checks. So the two parties completed the transaction happily.
"Mr. Liu, I also have some mid-to-high-end jewelry here. I wonder if you are interested?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and glanced at the huge password box held in the hands of four strong bodyguards, nodded and said: "As long as it meets my requirements, I am interested in any jewelry!"
Liu Dong’s answer made Dongsu excited. He immediately waved to the bodyguards behind him to put the password box in their hands on the coffee table in the center, because each password box was 80 cm long, 60 cm wide, and over 30 cm high.
, so you can only put one at a time!
However, each large password box contains a large number of mid-to-high-end jade jewelry, ruby and sapphire jewelry, South Sea pearls and a small amount of diamond jewelry!
Liu Dong collected a total of more than 400 pieces of jade jewelry and 789 pieces of red and sapphire jewelry from four large boxes. The reason why there are more of the latter is because compared to jadeite bracelets, which take up more space, there are more red and sapphires.
They are small items such as rings and earrings, and there are fewer sets of necklaces. As for South Sea pearl and diamond jewelry, there are the least, with only more than 300 pieces!
For these more than a thousand pieces of jewelry, Liu Dong once again paid 19 million euros!
After receiving a check from a Swiss bank for 19 million euros, Dongsu was laughing from ear to ear. Last year, he didn’t make as much as he does now in one night.
However, after being happy, Dongsu naturally wanted to ensure that he would make a lot of money every time in the future, so after temporarily suppressing the excitement in his heart, he looked at Liu Dong expectantly and said: "Mr. Liu, I don't know if we can establish a long-term cooperative relationship.
I promise to provide Mr. Liu with 1,000 pieces of mid-to-high-end jewelry products, including top-grade jewelry, every year! And I will provide certain discounts on price!"
“It’s okay to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, but in the future, don’t bring jewelry worth less than 8,000 euros!”
Liu Dong collects finished jewelry to make money, not to develop Myanmar’s jewelry processing industry, so most of the mid- to low-end jewelry worth less than 50,000 Chinese coins was rejected by him!
You must know that around two thousand years ago, jewelry worth more than 50,000 Chinese coins, in addition to bracelets, other rings, earrings and the like, were already high-quality mid-range jewelry!
Of course high-end and top-quality jewelry are not included.
After listening to Liu Dong’s request, Dongsu’s face stiffened. Although the time was short, Liu Dong, who had keen senses, noticed it.
But now Liu Dong has taken the initiative, so he has no choice but to refuse to agree.
The most difficult part to digest, coupled with Liu Dong's reasonable price, so after some consideration, Dongsu signed a supply contract with Liu Dong to supply at least 400 pieces of jadeite, red sapphire, and South Sea pearls every year, because
Myanmar’s diamond output is too low, so there are no rigid provisions in the contract.
& nbsp
"Mr. Dongsu, please understand that some mid-range and low-end finished jewelry cannot bring me much profit. No one is willing to do anything that does not make money!"
"Yes, yes!" Although he agreed, Dongsu was always a little unwilling, because according to Liu Dong's standards and his current supply capacity, the annual transaction volume was around 10 million euros. The original 10 million euros
It is also a number that makes him salivate, but compared to this huge transaction of 35 million euros, 10 million seems a bit too little.
Looking at his expression, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Of course, I don't want my partners to suffer. Let's do this. In addition to jade, Mr. Dongsu can reserve any rough and semi-finished jewelry and sell it to me. I promise to sell it to me at a high price."
Purchase it at 10% of the market price in Myanmar!”
"Really? Any jewelry will do?" Dongsu's eyes lit up. There wasn't much else in Myanmar, but there were many kinds of gems. And as a local jeweler, he also had his own way to purchase raw materials.
At that time, even just for the 10% price difference, it was enough for him to make a lot of money.
"Yes, any jewelry will do, as long as it has value!" Liu Dong nodded.
"That's great, Mr. Liu, please rest assured that I will definitely be able to bring you satisfactory gems the next time you come to Myanmar!" Dongsu said excitedly.
"Haha, I believe in Mr. Dongsu's strength, but I still have a small request!"
"Mr. Liu, please speak!" Dongsu said with a hint of nervousness in his tone.
When the big contract is about to be obtained, the slightest surprise can make Dongsu tense up.
After looking at the other party, Liu Dong chuckled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just hope that in every transaction with Mr. Dongsu, the proportion of high-end jewelry roughs for each variety should be more than 5%, and the proportion of low-end jewelry roughs should not exceed 5%.
40%!...How about it, no problem?”
“No problem, no problem!”
Although Dongsu was a little surprised by Liu Dong's request, he was not surprised at all. After all, everyone has to protect their own interests! Moreover, Liu Dong's request was not too harsh!
& nbsp
Liu Dong still understands the truth!
Moreover, the Weichai family focuses more on jade, and the supply of other jewelry such as rubies and sapphires cannot meet Liu Dong's requirements. Now that Dongsu is there, it is also a good supplement to the supply channel of Qiangwei jewelry.
