Boss Qi nodded. The Ruili Jade Guild's boycott of Chaoshan jade merchants was based on the fact that the Myanmar military government announced that it would close down the old pits year by year and the public sale was postponed.
However, the sale of gambling stones is the largest financial source for the Myanmar military government, with tens of billions of euros being brought into the account every year. Without this financial source, the military government simply cannot afford the huge military expenditures.
Therefore the war will not last forever.
When the government forces take away most of the stone gambling sites from the ethnic minority armies, the war will enter a stalemate stage, and then there will be negotiations between the military government and the ethnic minority armies.
As long as a community of interests can be formed, the war will end and public meetings will continue.
At that time, Chaoshan merchants and Xiangjiang merchants will put aside the Ruili stone gambling market and bid wildly for gambling stones from the public market.
Pang Kun, who had been standing aside silently, suddenly said: "But this war will last for a long time this year."
Chen Lu asked alertly: "Why is Mr. Pang Kun so sure!"
"Because in November last year, the negotiations between the military government and the Kachin Independence Army broke down." Pang Kun said seriously:
"In order to force the Kachin Independence Army to return to the negotiating table, the military government imposed a blockade and embargo on the Kachin region in Lashio and Myitkyina at the same time. Then the army pressed on the border and declared the Kachin region to be in a state of war."
"The essence of war is plunder. There are nearly one-third of the stone gambling sites on the territory of the Kachin Independence Army, and most of them are old sites. The gambling stones produced in these old sites are given to the Kachin Independence Army Made a lot of money.
If we want to defeat the Kachin Independence Army and force them to return to the military government, we must cut off their financial resources and seize these quarries. "
He didn't continue, but everyone understood.
Although the military government is nominally forcing the Kachin Independence Army to recognize the military government as the only legal government and accept its rule, its actual goal is to force the Kachin Independence Army to control the stone gambling site.
The Kachin Independence Army is naturally unwilling to lose the entrance to these stone gambling sites to government forces, and will resist at all costs.
The war will naturally be protracted.
Due to geographical differences in Delong, Jiegao and Yingjiang, the harm caused by the postponement of the public sale is not great. On the contrary, more smuggled rough stones continue to enter the market.
But for the huge jade market, smuggled rough stones are just a trickle, a drop in the bucket, and can only make a small number of people rich, but most jade merchants suffer instead of benefiting from it.
Especially Chaoshan and Xiangjiang jade merchants, they already account for 70% of the jade market sales.
Ninety percent of the gambling stones and jadeite materials they purchased came from the Burmese public market.
However, a long window period will not only result in the loss of most of the high-end customer base, but will also lead to a terrible wave of bankruptcies.
Boss Qi said calmly: "One whale falls and all things are born!"
In an instant, Chen Lu's face turned pale as a sheet.
Whale fall refers to the process of whales sinking to the bottom of the sea after death.
The reason why there is a saying that everything comes into being after a whale falls is because although death is quick, the fall of a whale is a long process.
Whale fall represents the beginning of a gluttonous feast, when large pieces of fish meat are devoured by deep-sea sharks and various carnivorous fish.
Then the crustaceans will gather together and use the whale bones and nearby nutrient-rich sediments to live, reproduce, and expand their populations.
In the end, the whale's skeleton becomes a paradise for biological joy, and the whole process is seamless and interlocking.
The death of a whale created a deep-sea ecosystem.
The collapse of a huge jade and jade jewelry company is also a gluttonous feast for small jade merchants.
Ye Qing glanced at Chen Lu, who was pale, and said sternly: "Although the world of stone gambling is about human relations, it is also based on interests."
"Those who have gotten to the level of Boss Qi, Fatty Zhang and Pang Kun, which one is not a human spirit, and which one is not an old fox, you want to borrow a knife to kill someone. But, how can they let you get your way.
Putting it all together, they need capital and ability. Even the supply of goods that you cannot control is not a problem for them.
They can wait until the whale goes down and enjoy the feast, so why should they share a piece of the pie with you! "
He stared at Chen Lu's pretty face: "You are beautiful, but you can't think of yourself as beautiful. Otherwise, Chen Juncai and I won't be able to protect you."
Chen Lu nodded. She understood what Ye Qing meant. She used others to achieve her own goals. Although she got all the benefits, she also had to accept the backlash from others.
And she couldn't bear the backlash from Boss Qi, Fatty Zhang and Pang Kun.
More importantly, this is not the basis for cooperation.
For the development of the company, let us support you unconditionally, but we have to keep the profits.
Therefore, we will also regard you as a giant whale sinking into the sea...
This sentence is actually Boss Qi’s warning.
Moreover, this warning was for Ye Qing's sake, otherwise he would have made a fortune.
It won't take long for Tianlu Jewelry to be swallowed up until all its bones and dregs are left.
Ye Qing smiled and said: "Give you another chance to organize your language and convince them!"
"Actually, it's the young master I want to convince the most!" Chen Lu put aside everything and said whatever was on her mind.
"Ye Qing would not directly intervene in the operation and management of a company, not to mention that the process of tearing down and rebuilding is full of blood." Fatty Zhang said with a smile: "That's why he asked you to convince us, not He owns shares in the company.”
"Especially, a company like Wang's Jewelry with a market value of tens of billions is a benchmark for the local government and a star enterprise." Boss Qi said with a smile.
Chen Lu was shocked: "How does Brother Qi know that my target is Wang's Jewelry Group?"
Boss Qi said slowly: "It's very simple. Without enough benefits, Ye Qing will not be tempted. And Tianlu Jewelry, with a market value of only tens of billions, obviously does not have the qualifications."
"What I value is the jade master!" Ye Qing admitted readily: "If you want to occupy the high-end market, two conditions are indispensable, one is high-grade jadeite and the other is a master-level jade craftsman.
As for gathering high-end customer groups, it is difficult for others, but for me, it is very simple.
My palace business club in Kyoto has a large number of high-end people gathered. What they lack most is money, but they lack treasures that make their eyes shine.
Moreover, controlling this high-end customer group is effortless for me. "
Chen Lu suddenly discovered that her negotiating capital had been reduced to the lowest level.
In other words, Tianlu Jewelry, with a market value of tens of billions, is nothing in their eyes.
Not to mention the stores in major cities across the country, not to mention the mature sales team.
High-end jade jewelry is never sold in stores, but auctioned.
Ye Qing could set up an auction company at the palace club in Kyoto to specialize in high-end jadeite auctions.
The only thing he lacks is Master Zhuoyu.
