Chapter 382: Ask
"Fang Yi, apart from Mr. Zheng, there are not many people who can buy this piece of material in our public market this time......"
Today's public market has come to an end, Yu Xuan and Chen Kai are looking for Fang Yi everywhere, and when they saw him talking to Zheng Shaogong, they also came over, as for Ah Hu, he had already come to Fang Yi's side.
"Teacher Yu said with a smile, there are so many people who hide the dragon and crouching the tiger in the public market every time, and this little industry of the Zheng family is nothing......" After hearing Yu Xuan's words, Zheng Shaogong smiled very modestly.
It is true that the Zheng family is powerful, but their main business is gold jewelry, such as jadeite and jade, which are only concurrent, and the proportion of investment is not very large, so in terms of the scale of the pure jade industry, there are still a few whose capital is not inferior to the Zheng family.
"Teacher Yu, do you want to have a meal together in the evening?" Walking out with Yu Xuan and the others, Zheng Shaogong sent out an invitation, "Mr. Fang and I hit it off at first sight, but I want to have more opportunities for contact, let's come with Mr. Fang in the evening......
"Mr. Zheng, it's really unfortunate tonight, the old man and some of his colleagues have already made an appointment...... Yu Xuan said apologetically: "Otherwise, tomorrow night, the old man will be the east, and invite Mr. Zheng to enjoy his face and have a meal......"
For the Zheng family, a family with a certain political influence in the mainland, Yu Xuan didn't want to get close to it, of course, he wouldn't offend this kind of clan, so after rejecting Zheng Shaogong's invitation, he immediately sent another invitation to him.
"Okay, then thank you Teacher Yu, I will definitely ......be there tomorrow" Zheng Shaogong nodded and agreed, and after walking outside, he smiled and waved goodbye to Yu Xuan and the others.
"Zheng Sheng, why do you value Yu Xuan so much?"
After Yu Xuan and the others left, a middle-aged man in his forties who followed Zheng Shaogong asked puzzledly, his name is Feng Zhexin, he is the chief appraiser of Zheng's Jewelry, and he is also the first appraiser of Zheng's Jewelry to participate in the Myanmar public market.
However, at the beginning, the first appraiser of the Myanmar public market was not Feng Zhexin but Yu Xuan, and after Yu Xuan rejected Zheng's jewelry for some reason, Feng Zhexin was able to lead the team to participate in the public market, so Feng Zhexin was still a little unconvinced by Yu Xuan in his heart.
"This time I participated in the World Jewelry Fair, and my family is ready to launch a Chinese-style jewelry ......"
Zheng Shaogong looked at Feng Zhexin and said: "Yu Xuan is not only a cultural relics appraiser and jade appraisal expert, he is also good at gold and stone carving, and my father means to ask him to propose some ideas for this work......
The Zheng family first started as a gold shop, and they spread gold to all corners of the world.
But in the last decade, Zheng's jewelry profit growth has begun to slow because jewelry such as diamonds and gemstones are gradually replacing gold jewelry in the market, and gold is more often purchased by consumers as a store of value.
Therefore, after Zheng Shaogong took over part of the business of Zheng's jewelry, he put forward the business direction of vigorously developing gemstone jewelry, and after his efforts in recent years, the annual sales of gemstone jewelry have become the biggest growth point of Zheng's jewelry.
In this case, Zheng Shaogong set his sights on the World Jewellery Fair held in the United Kingdom.
As the world's oldest and most well-known jewelry fair, the jewelry that wins the gold medal at the fair every year will receive special attention from the industry, and even the production companies with award-winning jewelry will also become famous.
As a family business for nearly 100 years, Zheng's Jewelry has never won an award at the World Jewelry Fair, and the non-gold jewelry they produce is not accepted by the European market, which is the most difficult thing for Zheng Shaogong to accept.
After Zheng Shaogong talked to his father about his ideas, he was recognized and strongly supported by Sir Zheng, he came to Myanmar to participate in the public market, bringing a total of nearly 50 million US dollars, and the synthetic RMB reached 400 million, just to buy a piece of fine jadeite and make it into jewelry, to participate in the World Jewelry Fair.
"The World Jewelry Fair is more inclined to the style of Western jewelry......
Feng Zhexin naturally knows about the World Jewelry Fair, but as far as he knows, the jewelry that won the gold medal at the fair is all made of diamonds or red and blue gemstones, and the styles are all Westernized.
"My father and I just want to change this situation......
Zheng Shaogong said softly, in fact, compared with the Western market, he and his father value the huge consumer market in the mainland more seriously.
Winning an award at the World Jewellery Fair can change the mainland market's perception of them to a certain extent, you know, until now, many people in the mainland think that Zhou Xfu only deals in gold jewelry.
Yu Xuan naturally didn't know about Zheng Shaogong's thoughts, and after returning to the manor for a short rest, he took Chen Kai and Fang Yi to the banquet.
To Fang Yi's surprise, some of the people he met in the restaurant had appeared at his apprenticeship ceremony not long ago, and the old acquaintance abroad would make people feel more cordial, and after a meal, those jade merchants who were more than a teenager like Fang Yi began to call each other brothers.
After appearing in the public venue the next day, there were more people who greeted Fang Yi, and on this day, Yu Xuan still asked Fang Yi to find jade to compare according to what he had learned, while he continued to help Chen Kai select the rough stone wool, and Chen Kai's thick stack of bids had already filled in the bid amount.
"This is the area where all the rough stone wool is gambled?"
Yu Xuan let Fang Yi move freely, which was in line with Fang Yi's thoughts, and went around the entire venue in a big circle, Fang Yi came to a place where there were fewer people, and it was very simple to judge that this was the whole gambling rough stone, because the jade rough stones placed in this place were all uncut.
Compared with those half-gambling materials with smooth facets, the all-gambling jadeite rough stones looked basically the same as stones, except that the skin was a little rougher, Fang Yi couldn't see the difference between these rough stones and ordinary stones at all.
And the people here are also the least in the entire venue, before Fang Yi came, there were only three or five people who were picking the rough stones in the huge area, two of them had dinner with Fang Yi yesterday, seeing that they were all concentrating on inspecting the stones, Fang Yi didn't go up to say hello.
"The material for the full bet is smaller than the material for the half bet......"
There are not a lot of jade rough stones in the whole game, there are about more than 1,000 pieces in the whole venue, compared to the half-gambling materials outside that are often the size of grinding plates, the rough stones here are much smaller, and the smallest is even a little bigger than a fist.
"Such a small material, how expensive is it?"
Fang Yi took a look at the bottom of the smallest piece of material, and couldn't help blurting out, just such a fist-sized piece of all-gambling material was actually a $10,000 bottom, and the price was as high as the glutinous jade in the half-gambling material.
"Brother Fang, the material of jadeite is not measured by volume......
Fang Yi's self-muttering voice alarmed a person in front of him who was selecting wool, and when he looked up and saw that it was Fang Yi, the person couldn't help but smile and answer.
"Brother Lu, it's such a coincidence, you're also here......" Fang Yi remembered that this person's surname was Lu, and his name seemed to be Lu Guoping, so he said hello at the moment and walked to the other party's side.
"Brother, it's the first time you've come to Myanmar?" Lu Guoping is a person who has participated in Fang Yi's apprenticeship ceremony, he knows that Fang Yi's apprenticeship has not been long ago, and he is afraid that he has not learned much from Yu Xuan.
"Yes, Brother Lu, this time I came to study with the teacher...... Fang Yi said with a smile: "I really have a dark eye on this gambling stone, Brother Lu, if you have time, tell me about it?"
Fang Yi came to gamble on the rough stones, just to use his way to identify some good materials, but the thousands of yuan of all gambling wool gave him a little headache, not to mention whether his true yuan was enough or not, even two days would not have time to select all these rough stones.
Yu Xuan didn't want Fang Yi to gamble on the material, so he didn't explain to him some knowledge of the original stone, and Fang Yi, who already knew something about jadeite, didn't know anything about the material.
So after meeting Lu Guoping, Fang Yi wanted to learn something from him, at least he could get rid of some stones with obvious characteristics, which could also reduce some of Fang Yi's workload in the future. (To be continued.) )
