"In early May, global colored gemstone prices rose by an average of two percentage points as a result of strikes at several of Brazil's major gem mines. Among them, the price of gem-quality tourmaline has risen by a large margin, reaching 4.5 percent, and the price is expected to continue to rise. ”

The radio host paused before asking, "Dr. Harold, what do you think about this price increase, or what advice do you have for investors?"

First of all, I would like to say that the Brazilian gem mines, which occupy an important position in the global colored gemstone market, have been increasing their exports year after year, but the price of gemstones has not reached the average level, which is an unhealthy way of selling. ”

At this point, the radio host cooperated and asked, "Why did Dr. Harold say that?"

"The first thing we need to do is distinguish between colored and gem-quality gemstones, which is a collective term, two concepts. All gemstones produced in Brazil are called colored gemstones, but only those that have the potential to appreciate in value can be called gem-quality. ”

After a pause, Dr. Harold on the radio said: "The Colorful Stone strike under the Brazilian Yuanshan Group is the source of the rise of international colored gemstones......

Listening to the eloquent conversation of Dr. "Harold" on the radio, a smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yuanshan's mouth.

At 10:10 a.m. local time on May 3 in Brazil, the "Yuanshan Group" announced a major strategic adjustment plan: the Yuanshan Group will reduce the shipment of decorative gemstones and carry out a full range of brand packaging for gem-quality jewelry.

It is not said why the shipment of ordinary gemstones is reduced, nor how to carry out all-round packaging, just such a simple sentence, the price of the global colored gemstone market has followed the earthquake.

Ordinary people can't feel this change, maybe you go to buy the most ordinary tourmaline ornament, which was originally ten yuan, but now it has only become twelve. For the two-dollar thing, those end consumers don't have much feeling.

This is true even for ordinary gem-quality jewelry. Originally, it was sold for 3,000 yuan, but 4.5 percent was not too much for 100 yuan, and it would not feel too much.

But those large regional retail and wholesalers, as well as high-end tourmaline buyers, feel different, originally a shipment of 10 million, now there are hundreds of thousands, or even 100,000, of course, a little distressed.

However, this is a boiled frog in warm water, and more than hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands still do not have much impact on them. Which of those high-grade tourmalines is not 50 percent, or even 100 percent? The price has risen and it is a big deal to earn back from consumers~

Fifty percent of the workers in the major gem mines in Pernambuco were directly involved in the strike, and more than 20 percent of the workers were also actively slacking off, and the mines there are now largely in a state of semi-stagnation.

Demagogized by that handful of people, the workers took to the streets, to the company building, to the city and the state to protest, demanding a uniform salary increase of 1,000 reais, and if the Toyama Group did not accept this condition, they would stop work indefinitely.

In order to fear that the matter would further become a big one and turn into a vicious incident, the Pernambuco State Government urgently summoned the Yuanshan Group and asked them to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

However, in this matter, Yuanshan Group stands on the ground, and all wages are paid in accordance with the salary standards set by the Ministry of Labor, and there is no wage arrears, so they have no way to take Yuanshan Group.

Anne Isabella, the executive director of Yuanshan Group, has a very tough attitude, the company does not compromise, does not recognize, does not accept those unreasonable demands, and it is useless for anyone to force/force the "Colorful Stone" company by any means. Yuanshan Group is ready to temporarily close the "Pernambuco" gem mine~

There was a lot of disturbance on the Brazilian side, and some people wanted to bypass Anne Isabella and talk directly to Fang Yuanshan, but unfortunately he was hidden behind the scenes and never showed up.

At this time, Fang Yuanshan had already arrived at London International Airport, waiting for the next plane to China.

One sat in the departure hall, while Frank pretended to be blind and sat on a bench a few meters away. There was less than half an hour left before the boarding time, and he was a little bored and looked around at the passengers next to him.

Maybe this flight is a plane to Xiangjiang, so there are a lot of Asians nearby, playing with mobile phones, listening to songs, and some have been coaxing children.

The four-dimensional image glanced around the neighborhood, and there were a lot of beauties, but most of them looked very cold, and there were two ten-finger clasps, no accident it should be "pull/pull".

"Tut-tut, what a waste, there are two more bachelors in the world~"

Time was fast, and when Fang Yuanshan was looking around, the announcer was already reminding him to board the plane. Fang Yuanshan, who was carrying a backpack, walked leisurely towards the ticket gate, and when he got on the plane, he didn't look at the surrounding environment, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

After the plane took off, Yuanshan didn't open his eyes until a greeting came from the side.

"Hello gentleman, could you please do me a favor?"

Fang Yuanshan sat in the first class cabin, with two ergonomic recliners placed side by side, and in the middle was the armrest for placing items, and the sound came from the other recliner at this time.

Fang Yuanshan, who slept on the plane, waited until he opened his eyes to find that the owner of the voice was a woman wearing a baseball cap. Long hair and a shawl, a slender figure, and a pair of beauty/legs overlapped. At this time, she was holding a digital camera, and the meaning was obvious, that is, to ask him to help take a picture.

Such a "good thing", the boring Fang Yuanshan really couldn't ask for it, and smiled with a smile: "Is it to take a photo for you?"

Regarding Fang Yuanshan's reaction, this "neighbor" also understood it, said "thank you" with a smile, and then handed him the camera.

The neighbor first lay down flat, closed his eyes, and asked him to take a picture of his fake sleep, and then, perhaps in the spirit of showing off, put her "lv" bag next to her and made a cute gesture.

Fang Yuanshan can also understand the psychology of women, who doesn't have a little vanity? Even those foreign women also like to show off, what diamonds, bags, houses. It's just that due to cultural precipitation, they are much more low-key. To put it simply, I like to dress in secret......

In the middle, when the flight attendant passed by, the neighbor expressed the meaning of taking a group photo. The British flight attendant, who was wearing a World War II military uniform-style suit, did not refuse the neighbor's invitation, and bent over and pouted her hips very cooperatively to take a photo with her.

After taking pictures, the good-looking neighbor said thank you to Fang Yuanshan again, and then began to chat with each other.

"Is this gentleman coming to England for business or pleasure?"

Although Fang Yuanshan didn't look very good, but there was an indescribable smell on his body, coupled with the clothes that couldn't be seen on his body, and the first-class cabin he was sitting in, she estimated that Fang Yuanshan should have a bit of a background.

"I'm mining in Brazil, I'm worth billions of dollars, and all the gem mines over there are mine. I still...... By the way, do you know Brazil?" he continued, pausing to ask his neighbor next to him, and the two thief eyes stared around.

When the neighbor on the opposite side said that he was worth "billions of dollars", the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he said with a stiff smile: "Understand...... I don't know too much~"

"That's a shame, you should really go to Brazil when you have time, it's very beautiful. In terms of its scenery, it can throw off three streets in the UK. I have a luxury yacht, and if you go there I'll take you around the sea. ”

Looking at his "nouveau riche" face that changed in an instant, the smile on the face of the neighbor next to him became even more stiff. Considering that people had just done him a favor, it would be rude not to say anything, so he had to laugh dryly: "Hehe, if I go then, I must remember to look for you." ”

Fang Yuanshan saw that she could still respond with a smile, and suddenly became energetic, turned around and began to chatter......
