Chapter 45: Sigh all the way
To the northwest of Daling Town, there is a forest farm.
Li Dongwen did not go into the town to stay, but found a hillside in the forest farm and meditated all night.
The next day, Li Dongwen left the forest farm and went straight to Daling Town.
Although it is a town, it is more prosperous than the county seat of the sacred bird.
The streets are wide and densely populated, with cars, motorcycles, tricycles, and all kinds of vehicles shuttling.
Li Dongwen found a breakfast stall and sat down.
A big bowl of steaming roast goose noodles, Li Dongwen ate it with relish.
Today is October 2nd, and the people of the whole country are still in the middle of the holiday, and the streets and alleys have a strong festive atmosphere.
After breakfast, Li Dongwen followed the flow of people and wandered around the street.
A signboard caught Li Dongwen's attention, "Daling Town Mahogany Furniture Market".
Haha, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, so it's me.
Li Dongwen walked quickly into the mahogany furniture market in Daling Town.
This market is very large, and it is basically divided into two major areas, one is for raw materials and the other is for furniture.
Li Dongwen first walked around the furniture area.
All kinds of tables and chairs, coffee tables, desks, sofas, beds, poufs, partitions, screens, hangers, wardrobes, bookcases, bedside tables, and all kinds of ornaments, almost everything.
At most, there are tables, chairs and coffee tables, which are available in almost every house, and the difference is only in the style and material.
Li Dongwen looked at these exquisite designs and productions, and knew that they were incomparable to the Shenniao County Timber Factory, and the tables, chairs and benches made by the Shenniao County Timber Factory were also at the level of school desks.
If you look at the price of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, it is not comparable to the dozen yuan for a set of tables and chairs in the Shenniao County Timber Factory.
Hey, this gap is not ordinarily big, it seems that the furniture business can't be done, and the way out of the Shenniao Timber Factory has to be considered in the long run.
Li Dongwen shook his head and sighed while watching.
Those who sell furniture are a little furious by Li Dongwen's facial expressions, we haven't faked much, what did you find, keep shaking your head and sighing?
Coming out of the furniture area, Li Dongwen was a little listless, and unconsciously wandered to the timber trading area.
Most of the timber here is sold by tons, and Li Dongwen looked at the price of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of tons, and he didn't have any direct feeling and didn't feel anything precious.
70 million Hong Kong dollars a ton of gold, Li Dongwen is still too cheap, and it is not as valuable as a better jadeite.
After a few more careful glances at the quality of these woods, no one used them as firewood in the fairy world, and they were far inferior to those almost nameless miscellaneous trees in his cave, let alone those supernatural varieties.
Li Dongwen watched all the way and shook his head all the way.
Li Dongwen left the furniture city and began to be at a loss again, and the way out of the lumber mill had not yet been found.
Well, it's not far from Haizhu to see how the cars are selling.
Li Dongwen took out the phone from the cave and wanted to contact Zhao Canguang, but as soon as he turned on the phone, a call came in.
Hmm? What is Miss Lei looking for me? Li Dongwen picked up the phone.
"Boss Li, you can be regarded as turning on the machine, where have you been in the past two days, the world can't find you, Zhang Junru, Zhao Canguang, Zhu Hongjiang, Sun Yunsheng, and your financial Zhang Qinglan, I will contact you all over the ......" Miss Lei complained.
Li Dongwen hurriedly stopped: "I'm also on vacation, what's the matter with you?"
Lei Ruiqiong: "The jewelry company has half of your shares, so you don't care?"
Li Dongwen: "Isn't there Zhu Hongjiang taking care of Hong Kong Island, what can happen?"
Lei Ruiqiong: "Can he solve the problem and still need to find you?" The gold jewelry is about to sell out, can he conjure gold?"
Li Dongwen was stunned: "You seemed to say last time that it was enough to sell for a year, why did it sell out in just a few months?"
Lei Ruiqiong: "The growth demand in the mainland market is beyond expectations, we have opened some stores in the mainland, doing retail, and doing some wholesale, which is not enough to sell, especially during the holidays, it is particularly easy to sell, and we are replenishing stocks everywhere." ”
Li Dongwen: "That's a good thing. Is the jadeite also sold out?"
Lei Ruiqiong: "You think so beautifully, the growth of jadeite sales is limited. ”
Li Dongwen: "Why is it only gold that is easy to sell?"
Lei Ruiqiong: "Two reasons, one is that mainlanders have liked gold since ancient times, and after 20 years of reform and opening up, some people like to wear a gold chain around their necks after they get rich first, and the thicker the better." There is another reason...... It's just that our jewelry is cheaper, and we do promotions......"
The second reason, Lei Ruiqiong doesn't want to say, our gold purchase price is cheap, others buy 80 grams, you sell 70 grams to the company, the cost is almost 15% lower than other jewelry companies, how can others compete with us?
Li Dongwen did not doubt him, and said casually: "I still have dozens of tons, which is enough for our company to sell for a while." I'll go back to Hong Kong Island tomorrow and get you a few tons first. ”
Li Dongwen didn't have time to go to Haizhu, so he hurried back to Hong Kong Island and stocked up on Miss Lei.
The gold was smoothly handed over, from the wharf warehouse rented by Zhao Canguang to the underground vault of Lei's Building, a total of four tons of goods, but Miss Lei only gave two tons of money, and the other two tons were owed first, and the company's development in the mainland also needed capital turnover.
The jewelry industry is an industry with large funds and low profits, especially gold jewelry, which occupies a large amount of capital and does not have high gross profits.
After the handover was completed, Li Dongwen had another 150 million Hong Kong dollars on his account, the gold price rose slightly, and the company's purchase price was also on the market, this time according to 75 Hong Kong dollars per gram.
Miss Lei gave Li Dongwen another task: to purchase diamonds.
To this end, she also specially popularized the knowledge of diamonds to Li Dongwen, including several major production areas of rough diamonds in the world, as well as the grade of diamonds and the approximate price of each grade, of course, the specific price should be determined by the company's professional appraisers.
However, there is a big difference in the price between the rough stone and the cut and processed finished product, and the price will change when it is designed and processed into jewelry.
Miss Lei said that in the future, the demand for diamond jewelry will also increase significantly, especially the demand of the wedding market, which will be upgraded from gold jewelry to diamond jewelry in the future, including wedding rings, necklaces, earrings, etc.
Li Dongwen thought that there are still many places to use money in the future, and it is not bad to get some diamonds to make a little money, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is not meat.
Back at the hotel, Li Dongwen competed with the world map, Africa, Australia, Russia, India, Brazil, Canada...... Among them, diamonds from Canada have only been discovered in recent years.
Li Dongwen began to worry about the map, this production area is not concentrated, all over the world, all over the world.
Well, let's go to India first.
