This piece of glass has been sold for 30 million.

In fact, Wang Chen is already very satisfied with this price, but no one will dislike the money he earns a little more, well, the old saying is repeated, except for Ma someone.

Mr. Zhou looked at Boss Xu and didn't speak.

Mr. Zheng looked down as if in deep thought.

The two main bosses didn't speak, let alone the others.

In fact, the value of this piece of glass is not too easy to estimate, the only thing that is certain is that it is not less than 20 million, and the upper limit is not easy to say, because this piece of material is not too big, at most it can only make two or three pairs of bracelets, and the rest of the material can be made into some pendants, rings and the like.

It is estimated that if it is finally sold to the market, these pieces will sell for between 25 million and 35 million.

Not counting the cost, it is possible to lose money.

But why did Boss Xu dare to ask for 30 million?

In other words, if it is stuck at the price of 30 million, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zheng dare to shout, no matter how much.

Because now there are fewer and fewer glass species in the old pit, after all, jadeite is a non-renewable resource, once who takes this material, it does not have to be made into a bracelet and the like according to the convention for the market, you can take the high-end route, private customization for the top guests, so that not only can you return to the capital, but also increase your fame in a certain top rich circle and attract more customers.

Glass species are hard to come by.

Even if it's not full green, it's rare.

Let's put it this way, many of the so-called glass species on the market are actually pretended to be high ice species, and they dare to ask for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, as far as Wang Chen knows, the real glass species Piaocui A Guanyin pendant will be sold for about 1.7 million.

Hundreds of thousands?

It's almost the same as buying a ring face!

After a long while, Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't bid." ”

Mr. Zheng also waved his hand, "This Boss Xu's price card is too dead, and I won't bid anymore." ”

Boss Xu was overjoyed and said to Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zheng, "Thank you for your concessions." ”

All five pieces of jadeite were sold.

Except for Pang Ming, who has already settled the bill, the rest of the people have not yet arrived, Wang Chen took the initiative to ask, "How do you settle the bill?"

The mustache, the female jade merchant, and Boss Xu all indicated bank transfers.

It's just that the bank transfer takes some time, and it is impossible to arrive at once, and Wang Chen is not very familiar with them, so he will definitely not deliver the jade directly, so he took the initiative to invite a few people to have supper.

Maybe a few people really wanted to get to know Wang Chen, so they readily agreed.

Subsequently, Wang Chen asked Boss Song to send the wool to the hotel with the remaining piece of high ice planted with black ink cui, and he took the initiative to give Xiao Cui and Master Calcite some tips, both of them are busy today, and it is natural to give some tips.

……

Return to the hotel.

Wang Chen asked Young Master Xu to help the hotel make two tables of dishes, and ran upstairs to see Sister Mei.

Maybe the cold is too serious, but Sister Mei still sleeps in a daze.

"Sister, can you eat something?"

"I don't want to eat, Xiaochen, I want to sleep. ”

"People are iron rice and steel, eat more or less, be good. ”

"Hehe, how do I feel like you are coaxing a child? I really don't want to eat, I'll squint again, if it's convenient for you, give me a kettle of hot water, I'm a little thirsty, I don't have the strength in my body." ”

Wang Chen saw that she was panting when she spoke, probably because she really didn't have the strength to get up, she reached out and touched Sister Mei's forehead, her forehead was a little hot, it seemed to be better than that meeting in the afternoon, Wang Chen didn't say anything more, and took the initiative to boil a pot of hot water.

Finish boiling hot water.

Wang Chen poured a glass of water and put it on the bedside table to cool, and said, "I just met a few jade merchants, and I made an appointment to have supper together below, and I will bring you some food later, do you have anything you want to eat?"

"I really don't want to eat it...... Sister Mei's face was pale, and her eyes seemed to be a little unable to open, probably seeing Wang Chen frowning, she had no choice but to say: "You look at it and bring me some, Xiaochen, thank you." ”

Wang Chen stretched his brows and said with a smile: "You are so polite to me, who is with whom of our sisters and brothers, Cheng, you sleep first, and I will bring food later." As he spoke, he got up and reached out to cover the futon for Sister Mei.

Sister Mei rarely showed her weak side, and bowed her head slightly very obediently.

……

Come downstairs.

Wang Chen specially went to the kitchen and told him to boil some millet porridge and stir-fry two light side dishes.

Back to the restaurant.

In addition to their own two tables of people and waiters, there is no one else, late at night, the hotel restaurant has long been closed, the reason why they are willing to temporarily open a small stove is to see that Wang Chen and his party have opened many rooms, and live for many days, which belongs to the nature of "big customers".

If you have money, you have privileges wherever you go.

Wang Chen just walked in and saw Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zheng, Boss Xu, and Pang Ming chatting happily, but Young Master Xu, Zheng Gang and others were chatting with Chen Lao.

casually greeted Young Master Xu and them.

Wang Chen went straight to the table of Mr. Zhou and the others, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

"Wang Dong, are you here?" Mr. Zhou tilted his head and said, "We are talking about Lao Xu." He pointed to Boss Xu, "Just now I chatted with Lao Xu to know that the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and he is one of the main suppliers of our company." Saying that, Mr. Zhou also made a joke, "Yes, the jadeite that Lao Xu bought from you today is estimated to be sold to me at a higher price when he returns, but I can't pay the price, are you angry?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. Boss Xu hurriedly waved his hand, "I do a small business, how dare I ask Mr. Zhou for a price." ”

Mr. Zheng laughed and quipped: "Thirty percent of China's jadeite supply business is controlled by your Xu brothers, and it is still a small business?"

Thirty percent of China's jadeite is supplied by Boss Xu?

Wang Chen was taken aback, at first he felt that this Boss Xu was a bit of a bull, but he didn't expect that it was not a bull, but really powerful.

He sat down and blinked, "I didn't expect Boss Xu's business to be quite big." ”

"I'm just running errands, and I'm specifically responsible for procurement. Boss Xu said modestly: "My brother is still in charge of the main business, and it's really not a big business, it all depends on everyone's food." ”

Sit and talk for a while.

Wang Chen probably figured out the details of Boss Xu, the female jade merchant and the mustache, Boss Xu needless to say, the female jade merchant's surname is Gu, and she is not small, she is from the Northeast, and she is called a sister in jewelry in the Northeast, and many jewelry processing factories are connected with her.

As for the mustache, it is said that he is a second-class dealer in the jewelry industry, and he works alone, although he does, he has a lot of customers on hand, even if Boss Xu and Ms. Gu sometimes have insufficient supplies at hand, they will ask people like Mustache for help.

On the contrary, Pang Ming was the least valuable person present......

Well, maybe Pang Ming also realized it, and he didn't talk much until the wine and food were served.

It's time to eat.

During the period, the bank transfer information arrived.

Wang Chen glanced at it, and deliberately had a relationship with Boss Xu, Ms. Gu and the mustache, and left contact information.

Three rounds of drinking.

Boss Xu put down his chopsticks and sighed: "It's not easy to do jade business now." ”

Ms. Gu agreed: "Yes, the risk is much higher than before. ”

Wang Chen was a little puzzled and asked, "You all have stable supply channels, what's the matter?"

Boss Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, " Mr. Wang, you don't know, although we have a stable supply channel, but the majority of the risk of doing jadeite business is on us, such as the source of goods, in addition to looking for someone to buy some idle jadeite raw materials in the market, the others are basically in Myanmar here with people fighting for life and death to buy wool, wool you don't know, no one can guarantee that it will be able to open jadeite, even if it is opened, there is the possibility of loss, plus many jewelers themselves will come to Myanmar to purchase wool, you say how difficult our business is？”

The mustache sighed, "It would be nice if there was a special supply of low-cost jadeite raw materials, otherwise I would be busy surviving for a year, and if I cut off a few pieces of wool, I wouldn't make money, not to mention, I might have to paste it upside down." ”

That's true.

Jadeite is not like other jewelry, most of the raw materials come from the purchase of Myanmar rough stones, just like Boss Xu said, who can guarantee that the jadeite rough will be able to cut out the jadeite?

Especially when you are unlucky, you cut three or five pieces of material in a row, and you need to sell a lot of jadeite to earn it back.

Do you lack a stable supply of goods?

I lack a stable supply channel?

Isn't this just a perfect match!

Wang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard it, but it was just a temporary person with a lot of mouths, and it was inconvenient for him to say too much, so he deliberately bowed his head and snorted, "That makes sense...... pretending to be silent, "I'll ask an impolite question, if you feel embarrassed and don't answer, it's okay, how much profit do you make on jadeite?"

This is actually a trade secret.

But Boss Xu said unequivocally: "There is nothing that can't be said, not counting the purchase of wool and the like, just talking about the sale of jadeite raw materials, our company's profit is about 15 percent, which is already high, and it also depends on the stability of our customer base, many profits like Boss Xie are only about 10 percent." ”

Boss Xie is a mustache, and he carefully introduced: " In addition to jadeite and gold, the jewelry industry is now very profitable, from the factory price to the terminal retail, the highest profit can reach five times, of course, this is the highest profit, generally speaking, manufacturers can earn 20 to 30 percent, about 15 percent of the tax, 25 to 30 percent of the shopping mall, the remaining 25 to 40 percent owned by the jewelry store, this refers to other jewelry, the price of gold is more transparent, not listed, as for the jadeite...... Alas. ”

Mr. Zhou suddenly burst out with a sentence, "If the products of jewelers want to enter the shopping mall for sale, there is no more than twice the price increase, and it is almost difficult to recover the cost. ”

When he first heard the secrets of the jewelry industry, Wang Chen was curious.

It's just that he doesn't understand why the profit of jadeite is much less than that of other jewelry, doesn't it mean that jadeite is very profitable?

Wang Chen raised his question, "Jadeite profits are so small?"

Mr. Zheng pinched his wine glass and asked with a smile: "Do you know why the jadeite of our big brand is much cheaper than the retail in the secondary market?"

Wang Chen was stunned, "I don't know, you tell me." ”

"Let me tell you this, there are many links in a piece of jadeite, from the mining of rough stones to the retail of the secondary market. "Mr. Zheng said slowly," The cost and profit of mining rough stones, about 200 percent, now the Myanmar government controls the mining of jadeite rough, it may reach 300 percent, and the cost plus and profit of reselling rough stones will reach 200 percent, here are all rough stones, there is no mention of jadeite, many processing plants will directly purchase the rough stone cutting, the rough stone can not be every piece of jadeite, which will increase a lot of costs, so once the processing of the rough stone is out of the factory, the cost plus profit will reach 300 percent, a large part of which is wasted on the rough。 ”

Mr. Zhou continued: "Well, then the primary wholesale market has to make money, and the secondary market retail has to make money, from a stone to consumers, in the calculation of outsiders, the price may have to increase to more than 200 times, in fact, there are so many, the big head is made by the Myanmar government and wool dealers, and we make small heads." ”

This time, Wang Chen understood.

In fact, whether it is a big brand or a middleman like Boss Xu, they will take a lot of rough risks, resulting in a relatively high price of jadeite on the market.

Therefore, when these people see the raw materials of jadeite, they would rather spend more money to buy it, after all, the profit margin of this thing is stable, like Boss Xu, who makes 15% of the profit as soon as he sells it, and a piece of 30 million jadeite can earn 4.5 million yuan, even after watering, there is still more than 3 million profits, why not?

It's different if you change to wool.

For example, if a piece of wool is two million, the probability of the old market price rising is not more than 30%, and the probability of a big rise is even lower, so what should I do if the probability of 70% of the bet fails?

Suppose that seven of the ten pieces of material are cut down, and the loss is 14 million, where will the 14 million come from?

It's luck.

The 70% probability of losing the bet does not mean that the ten pieces of jadeite are cut down by seven pieces, but that each piece of rough stone may have a 70% probability of losing the bet, so there is a possibility that all the ten pieces of rough stones will lose their capital.

He half-jokingly said, "According to what you say, if someone provides a stable supply of jadeite raw materials, won't you all have to make a fortune?"

Boss Xu was stunned, and then laughed and said, "If that were the case, our company would have made a fortune a long time ago." ”

Mr. Zhou humorously, "So when you were in Thailand, I told Lao Zheng how much jade you have, how much we are willing to eat, and why don't we do it? ”

Ms. Gu was more careful, and after listening to Mr. Zhou's words, she immediately analyzed some things, and hurriedly asked Wang Chen, "Teacher Wang, do you have a lot of jadeite raw materials to supply?"

Mr. Zhou realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly lifted his chopsticks and said, "Come, come, eat vegetables." ”

Wang Chen smiled and didn't say a word, but he saw Pang Ming, Boss Xu, Ms. Gu and Boss Xie's eyes turning green when they looked at him, and he knew that these people were worried about their own jadeite raw materials.
