Chapter 198: There Is No Market! (First Update)
Liu Kun frowned and picked up the black pearl on the coffee table, as if he had seen a rare treasure, and played with it in his hand for a while.
"It's indeed a genuine Tahitian black pearl, and the peacock green on the outside is almost perfect!"
"And this mellow appearance...... Absolutely the best of the pearls!"
Liu Kun had words in his mouth, but with his other hand, he somehow took out a special caliper specially used to measure the diameter of pearls from the cabinet under the coffee table.
After the electronic watch on the caliper showed a size number of 18.3mm, Liu Kun, the general manager of Dayu Jewelry, finally began to be calm.
"What?!"
"18.3 mm in diameter?"
"With such a large black pearl, the entire Tahiti Islands can't produce a few of them a year. Liu Kun's expression was shocked, he had been in the pearl circle for so long.
Naturally, I understand how valuable this black pearl with a diameter of more than 18 mm is.
You must know that the black pearls produced in Tahiti are much worse than ordinary white and silver pearls in terms of diameter and condition.
Because the production capacity of the entire black pearl alone is only more than 100,000 in a year.
With millions of white and silver pearls produced each year, it can be very difficult to select a larger, better-looking black pearl from such a low production capacity.
The average Tahitian black pearl can grow to 8-10mm, which is considered good. Because a 10mm black pearl with good quality and bright color has reached about 8,000 yuan on the market. After a little secondary processing by the jewelry company, you can easily sell for 10,000 pieces.
As for the diameter of 15-16mm, it is already an extremely remarkable size in the Black Pearl family. The price alone is more than seven or eight times higher than that of 10mm.
Of course, black pearls in the size range of 16mm or less are still considered craft products that ordinary people can access.
But once the size of the black pearl reaches the critical point of 17mm, it is a different world.
For every 0.1mm more, the price of this black pearl is jumping upward.
Just like the wild yellow croaker that Chen Hao cultivated before, if one more pound of meat grows, the price of the pound will jump up with the trend of the "J" curve.
As for the 18.3 mm one that appeared in Liu Kun's hand, according to his own judgment, the recycling price alone can be about 450,000.
Because of such a large black pearl, even if the Tahiti Islands are copied from the bottom, there are only about a thousand in a year.
Once discovered, these owners with no price will be directly monopolized by some large international jewelry houses and auction houses.
Want to see this grade of black pearl in a regular mall?
Think about it!
As for the objects they sell, they are either strong women in the business world, stars in Europe and the United States, or dukes and queens with royal inheritance.
Therefore, when Liu Kun saw Chen Hao casually throwing it away, it was such a domineering large-size black pearl. The evaluation of Chen Hao in his heart unconsciously looked up a few points.
"Huh?!"
"This black pearl still has a fishy smell of seawater on it, it is definitely the color of the goods that have just landed!"
"We work hard every year to get more than 10 of these oversized beads from the Tahiti Islands. This is still the production capacity of one-tenth of the super-large beads on the entire market. ”
"Where did this kid get the purchase channel?"
"Could it be that you have covered hundreds of pearl pools in Tahiti?" Liu Kun lowered his head and sniffed the salty smell on the black pearl, but the terrifying waves churning in his heart were even more surging.
Because he knew that the black pearl of the Tahiti Islands was very tightly controlled. If you want to import it from the original site, you must pass through dozens of customs inspections.
Often, a single black pearl from Tahiti can wait months or even half a year for inspection.
Moreover, in terms of introduction, the Tahitian masses still have a limited quota every year. The auction of this quota alone is enough for international jewelers to break their heads and compete for it.
But what about the 18.3mm black pearl that Chen Hao threw away?
It's obviously a new product that has just been fished out of the water and still smells of seawater.
What does this mean?
It means that in the eyes of an insider in the pearl circle like Liu Kun, Chen Hao definitely has a black pearl purchase channel in his hand that is unknown to outsiders!
And this kind of channel can avoid the cumbersome customs inspection of the Tahiti Islands, which is really a trick!
Even if it was their Dayu jewelry store, they had never heard of anyone being able to privately get such a batch of new pearls from the Tahiti Islands.
"Chance!"
"It's definitely a great opportunity!"
"I just don't know the origin of this kid, what if he is coerced and restrained after the transaction?" Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Kun's mind, and as a veteran of the shopping mall, he naturally understood the truth of the coexistence of risks and benefits.
It's just that after seeing the perfect black pearl in his hand, the vigilance in his heart was finally shattered.
"Brother Chen, how many black pearls of this size do you still have in your family's hands?"
"If the amount that can be provided every year is sufficient, the prospects for cooperation between us are still promising. Liu Kun took a deep breath and handed the black pearl in his hand back to Chen Hao.
"How?"
"Liu always thinks that such a black pearl can represent my strength?"
"Let me tell you the bottom of this, there are no less than 100 of these 18mm Tahitian black pearls in my warehouse. And that's just for this year's reserves. Chen Hao took a sip of coffee and said with a mysterious smile.
"More than a hundred? Brother Chen, you're not joking with me, are you?" Liu Kun's hand shook in fright, and the coffee cup in his hand almost smashed on the coffee table.
"Isn't it just an 18mm black pearl?"
"I have a few beads in my hands over 20 millimeters. If Mr. Liu is interested, I can get it for you right now. Chen Hao said with a disdainful face.
"Impossible!"
"Do you have the 20mm Pearl King?"
"Where?"
"Take me to see it!" Looking at Chen Hao's appearance that didn't seem to be lying, Liu Kun's qi-nourishing kung fu was finally knocked to the ground at this moment.
I saw him jump up from the sofa and grab Chen Hao's shoulders with both hands. The sound of breathing between his noses became heavy.
You know, this 20mm diameter pearl can no longer be measured by its normal commodity value. After all, this is the largest commercial pearl in history, and the diameter is only 21mm.
The appearance of each pearl king represents a battle between major jewelers and auction houses.
Even Dayu Jewelry, which is among the top ten jewelry houses in the country, has only received a 19.6mm small bead king since its establishment.
Just this 19.6mm small bead king is enough for Dayu Jewelry to set a benchmark in the industry.
What's more, the 20 mm diameter monster in Chen Hao's mouth!
