Chen Lu finally understood why Ye Qing always looked down upon her. The resources she relied on for survival were nothing in the eyes of the family members.
Circles are important.
Why jade jewelry merchants in Yun Province have always been at the bottom of the stream compared to jade jewelry merchants in Chaoshan and Xiangjiang and cannot leave Yun Province is because of the circle.
She frowned and said solemnly: "A piece of natural jadeite with beautiful water and color, coupled with master-level carving, is not enough to make it a treasure passed down from generation to generation. It also needs to be given an identity, that is, it comes from a famous family.
Therefore, many hand-me-down boutiques come from century-old stores.
Only in this way, when this piece of jade is sold for the second time, will it appreciate rather than depreciate. This is where the brand value lies and where the charm of the brand lies. "
Ye Qing touched his nose, and Chen Lu successfully grasped his weak spot.
Rich people buy high-end jade jewelry at all costs, not only because they need to use these high-end jade jewelry to flaunt their worth, but more importantly, to maintain and increase value.
The scarcity of high-end jadeite, coupled with the annual reduction in production at the mining area, has led to the steady appreciation of high-end jadeite.
The purpose of promotion and hedging is for secondary sales.
A piece of high-end jade jewelry can be purchased for 10 million, worn for a few years, and then sold for 20 million. This is the real reason why high-end jade is so popular.
However, most high-end jade jewelry is not functional.
Even if there is a certificate issued by the Jewelry and Jade Association, it will not maintain its value, let alone increase in value.
On the contrary, it is a certificate issued by a century-old store that has this kind of credibility.
This is because the Jewelry and Jade Association is only a semi-official organization, and its certificates can be bought as long as you have money.
Unscrupulous merchants often use tiger skin as a banner, using high-end jade certificates issued by the Jewelry Association to sell low-end or even fake jade as inferior.
However, the century-old store, in order to maintain its goodwill, is extremely strict in quality control.
Therefore, for a piece of high-end jewelry, you must first be from a famous family, then be a master-level carver, and finally look at the color.
This is not putting the cart before the horse.
For the same jadeite tablet, if it comes from the hands of a master, its price will increase tenfold.
If it is proven that it came from the palace manufacturing office, its price will increase a hundred times.
Because the palace manufacturing office is a famous family and a guarantee of quality.
Therefore, even if Ye Qing has high-end jadeite in his hands, even if he finds a master carver, having an improper background will be the biggest failure of the high-end jadeite jewelry he carved.
The first time I sell it, I can sell it for a sky-high price because of the quality.
But on the second sale, it is difficult to sell the price at which it was purchased, let alone preserve its value.
Because this piece of jade is wild.
But high-end jade jewelry from a century-old store has no such concerns.
More importantly, the century-old store also buys back fewer and fewer high-end jadeite, thus ensuring that these high-end jadeite jewelry can increase in value while maintaining their value.
Everyone knows this kind of brand management strategy, but it is difficult to implement it.
Even Ye Qing couldn't create a century-old store out of thin air.
The best way is to take over a century-old store.
However, century-old stores that deal in jewelry and jade have now become giants in the industry.
Not only is the cost of acquisition huge, but others will not give you this opportunity.
Everyone looked at Chen Lu as if they were seeing a fat sheep...
Ye Qing nodded: "You convinced us!"
Chen Lu smiled, blooming like a flower, and she was extremely beautiful: "It is my little lady's honor to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."
"We are all old foxes, so don't play with us." Ye Qing smiled: "This is a win-win situation, but the details need to be discussed in detail."
"My little lady wants to use you all as my backers to build Tianlu Jewelry into a giant in the jade industry!" Chen Lu Yanran said with a smile: "Let's talk business and achieve a win-win goal."
Her beautiful eyes looked forward to Ye Qing: "I don't know when I will be able to talk with you in detail!"
Ye Qing chuckled: "In this regard, none of us are your opponents. Therefore, this kind of business negotiation is unfair."
Chen Lu said in surprise: "I want Mr. An to talk to me!"
"All my investments in southern China and northern Myanmar are managed by Mr. An."
Ye Qing said calmly that he knew his own affairs. Not only Boss Qi, Fatty Zhang and Pang Kun could not handle this kind of business negotiation with huge investment, but he himself was no match for Chen Lu and Wang Yali.
This is the biggest difference between the regular army and the miscellaneous army.
If you want to protect your own rights and interests from being violated by this profit-oriented mother and daughter, the best way is to find them a regular army opponent.
But An Mengxi, who is in charge of the sericulture family, is the best choice.
"Mr. An?" Boss Qi looked at Ye Qing in surprise: "An Mengxi, a silkworm farmer!"
"Sericulture family!" Pang Kun also said in shock: "You also cooperate with silkworm cultivation family."
"Is An Mengxi so famous?" Ye Qing was also a little confused: "Even a barbarian like you knows about her!"
"You are a typical Chinese supremacy and racial discrimination!" After being scolded by Ye Qing for turning into a barbarian, Pang Kun said with a dark face: "The silk from the sericulture family is sold throughout Southeast Asia. I also wanted to do the silk business at the beginning... ...."
Ye Qing said amusedly: "That's why you asked Heiba to threaten An Mengxi!"
Pang Kun snorted coldly and was speechless.
If Ye Qing hadn't detained Hei Ba, he wouldn't have come to Muse, nor would he have let this kid punish him to death just because he was greedy for Bai Hu's beauty.
Perhaps, if he had stayed in Lashio, the Kachin Independence Army would not have successfully attacked Lashio, and his father would not have died. He would still be a second-generation ancestor and the white glove of his family.
Seeing his pale face, Ye Qing comforted him with a smile: "It's a blessing in disguise!"
"What kind of man is Sai Weng? How can he still be lucky after losing his horse?" Pang Kun's eyes widened, a little confused.
"The meaning of this sentence is that if you don't come to Muse, you will never be the head of the family in this life." Ye Qing kindly reminded him: "Meeting me is the beginning of changing your destiny."
Pang Kun said bitterly: "But now that Wu Gedan is still alive, I dare not return to China!"
Ever since he knew the true value of the laterite nickel mine, his biggest wish was to quickly return to Mandalay, inherit the family wealth, become the head of the family, and then partner with Ye Qing to open a nickel mine and make a fortune.
But Ye Qing left him in the dormitory and gave him good food, drinks and hospitality, but didn't say when he would be sent back to his country.
"Because you can't attract the attention of the military bosses now that you're back in Mandalay, and your property and safety can't be guaranteed. I'll wait for another person to give you more leverage." Ye Qing said seriously:
"As for Wu Gedan, you don't need to take it to heart at all. Someone has been looking for him, but it's still not possible to determine his exact hiding place."
