Chapter 601: The Non-Renewable Jade
"Okay, Boss Xiao, don't talk about this, it's already half past nine in the morning, and the public market lasts from the hotel to five o'clock in the afternoon, every minute is precious, such a big venue, let's hurry up and look around and get down to business, right?"
Zhang Tianyuan was very interested in what Xiao Fengrui said, but Mu Yi didn't care much, he just wanted to hurry up and start looking at the wool, the scale of jade in this place is much larger than that of Yan Cheng Gongpan, if he hangs like that time, he will definitely miss a lot of good things.
"You all brought gambling stone advisors, right?" Xiao Fengrui asked.
"What kind of gambling stone consultant to bring, isn't this Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang is a living gambling stone god, what do you want to gamble on stone consultants?" Mu Yi laughed.
Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "Boss Mother, it's not that I don't give you face, I myself now have several jewelry stores, as well as a special jade carving factory, I need more jadeite than you, so this time, I can only choose jadeite for myself, unless I am idle, I can help you consult, the rest of the time is really sorry." ”
Zhang Tianyuan felt that he should explain things clearly, otherwise these people would come to him, where would he have time to do his own things, ugly words are sweet, it is much better than turning his face later.
"Okay, it doesn't necessarily mean that you need a gambling stone consultant, we are not laymen, let's go, don't always affect Brother Zhang, he is not our nanny!" Xiao Fengrui stood up, he could understand what Zhang Tianyuan said, he was the most understanding, he was playing with stones, purely looking for excitement. By the way, he made some money, but Zhang Tianyuan was purely for work. People want to help, that's their kindness. If you don't want to help, that's understandable, it's not a child anymore, and it's not a problem to always pester others.
Saying this, Xiao Fengrui has already walked towards the jade wool, and Zhang Tianyuan's future father-in-law and mother-in-law have already gone to check the jade materials with Shi Laowang and them, and Xiao Fengrui is different from these people, Liu Shengping came this time. But for the sake of the future of Liu's jewelry.
Before, on the Yancheng jade market, Liu Shengping bought the best jadeite material from Zhang Tianyuan, but after all, it was only a small amount, and now it has long been used up, and the lack of raw materials has directly led to the shutdown of many jewelry processing factories of Liu's Jewelry, and the workers are idle and have nothing to do. This is not their own, there are many jewelers in the jewelry store because of the lack of raw materials, and even directly led to the collapse of the company. The result is worse than Liu's jewelry.
Including Liu Shengping, Guan Ying, Zhang Tianyuan, and other people who have jewelry companies or jewelry stores behind them, their thirst for jadeite raw materials must be much higher than those of retail investors, and those people are looking for stimulation. And they have to buy some good materials to supply raw materials for their jewelry stores and jewelry processing factories, which is the most important thing.
Jadeite, like oil and natural gas, is basically a non-renewable resource in the short history of mankind. Since the time of the Qing Dynasty. The method used to collect jadeite was to mine the caves by hand, although it was inefficient. Every year, there are very few good jadeites mined, but the quality of jadeite is well ensured. And it can also reduce the waste of jadeite, but now it is different, now good guys, all kinds of ways are going hand in hand, some are still manual, but most of them have begun to use high-tech machinery and equipment, what mountains, rivers, it is not a problem at all, it can give you a direct razing in an instant, this is the progress of human industry, but it is a catastrophe of jadeite resources.
As far as the current proven situation is concerned, only Myanmar produces jadeite in the world, and it is mainly concentrated in the Myitkyina region of northeast Myanmar about 150 kilometers long and about 30 kilometers wide, the formation of each piece of jadeite requires extremely harsh natural conditions and at least 200 million years, and human beings from birth to now, in a long 200 million years, that is, just a blink of an eye, so it is almost impossible to regenerate jadeite, at least in human history is very difficult.
This also leads to jadeite can only become more and more expensive.
It is not alarmist that jadeite resources are on the verge of depletion.
Hpakant, Myanmar is the world's only high-quality jadeite production area, after hundreds of years of mining, especially nearly 20 years of strong excavation and fierce mining, the tertiary conglomerate secondary deposits, that is, the largest seed ore type has not much reserves, most of the field mouth is mined to the bottom, the row is called the black layer, and the bottom will be bottomed out to the base rock without jadeite.
Zhang Tianyuan once learned from a number of jade miners who participated in the public market that the scale of jade mining in Hpakant is very large, with thousands of fields, hundreds of thousands of people, high mechanization and fast mining speed. The deepest open-pit stope has reached more than 400 meters, and with such large-scale and uncontrolled mining as it is now, there will be no jade to be mined in 10 years.
However, the primary mine, that is, the Xinkeng mountain material resources, is still unclear, and even if there is a quantity, it cannot become a good jade; due to the different address environments in which they are located, the Basan jade cannot be compared with the seed material, and the jade resources are scarce.
Some experts have agreed, and found that if the amount of jadeite mined in a year is calculated now, it is comparable to the output of the past three or four hundred years, and such large-scale uncontrolled mining, it is estimated that there will be no jadeite to be mined in ten years, and at that time, the Myanmar government does not know whether it is going to cry bitterly.
If the secondary ore in Hpakant is finished, the jadeite market will change and will be a market full of B and C goods. I believe that if this public market is over, it is estimated that many jade miners will return to Hpakant, taking advantage of the good price, hoping to dig more jade and make more money. Rare things are expensive, and the possibility of a drop in the price of jadeite is very small.
The price of jadeite will definitely be an upward line, even if there will be a little fluctuation at times, but the overall upward trend should not change much.
If the jadeite resources are really exhausted, it will be a big mourning day for the jadeite merchants and jewelry merchants in our country, and for those who love jadeite, and then only those finished jadeite can be bought and sold in the market, and the price is estimated to be frighteningly high.
With the rapid improvement of people's living standards, there are more people who like to collect, and jadeite is used as jadeite. It is also the favorite thing of these local tyrants, once suddenly one day this thing is gone. I don't know what a painful psychological blow it will be for these people.
Chinese people love jadeite, which has been continued from ancient times to the present. This was already the case during the Qing Dynasty.
Even in modern times, the real market for jadeite is still in China, although Myanmar is a place where jadeite is produced, but there are neither famous jadeite merchants, nor excellent jadeite carving masters, but in China, there are many experts in jadeite, and the jewelry industry, almost all will dabble in jadeite.
As far as Zhang Tianyuan knows. After jadeite is produced from Myanmar, nearly 90% of the rough will be sold to Chinese merchants, of which 80% will be processed and sold in the mainland, so to speak, since the Qing Dynasty, China has become the largest jadeite processing, production and consumption market.
In the 32 years since China's reform, reform and liberalization, the comprehensive national strength has been significantly enhanced, the people's living standards have gradually improved, and the Chinese jade culture with loving jade, cherishing jade, and wearing jade as the main expression has a long history.
The valley of the beautiful jade barren year in the harvest year.
In the prosperous era of national peace and security. The jade culture was soon promoted and extended. The wealthy people are more and more fond of wearing jadeite, and the vast countryside is also filled with the spring breeze of jade culture. China is the world's largest jadeite consumer market, and the demand is increasing day by day, which will naturally push up the price of jadeite. Because the process of jadeite from raw materials to finished products is simple. There is only physical cutting, no chemical change, and the industrial chain is short. The price of finished goods fluctuates in the market at about the same time as the raw materials.
In fact, from the early 80s to the present, China's jewelry industry has developed like never before. The output value has grown from 100 million to nearly 100 billion, and the price of jadeite. It has increased by as much as 300 times and has become the main force in the jewelry market, and this huge cake has made everyone salivate.
Whether it is Baodao, Hong Kong, or foreign jewelry companies, have seen the huge demand for jadeite in China's jewelry market, but the problem is that they have not hoarded too much jadeite raw materials because of the small market before, but the resources in Myanmar mining areas are gradually depleted, and they have to take out the jadeite raw materials at the bottom of their boxes, in fact, there is a purpose, that is, to occupy the jewelry market in the mainland.
With the market, there are customers, and you can slowly do business and make money.
Originally, many jewelers thought so, but now they suddenly discovered that the most important thing to make jade jewelry and jade jewelry is not the consumer market, but the raw materials, without raw materials, even if you have a 100% market share?
If you don't die, you won't die, although this is very cheesy, but it is a fact, many jewelry companies, including Liu's jewelry, are dragged down by this huge market, and as a result, there are no raw materials that can be used to make zuò jewelry, and finally the reputation of the guide zhì declines, so that consumers' impression of them is greatly reduced, so that not only the original jade jewelry market share will be finished, but even other jewelry market share will be affected.
So when he was in Liu's house, Liu Shengping told Zhang Tianyuan about the stakes in this regard, because he had suffered a loss, so he told Zhang Tianyuan, today's jade jewelry market, that is not the consumption channel is king, but the raw material channel is king, if you have jade products, even if it is not particularly exquisite, and even no other jewelry company does well, but you have, others do not, then you can occupy the market, although this is very unreasonable, but it is a fact.
In order to solve the big problem faced by Liu's jewelry, Liu Shengping and Weng Hong were burdened this time, and even spent a huge amount of money to invite Shi Lao Wang to help, you must know that Shi Lao Wang's relationship with the Liu family in the past was not very good, if it wasn't for Zhang Tianyuan's mediation, Old Man Liu and Shi Lao Wang would still be enemies.
Now I can invite Shi Lao Wang, which means that Mr. Liu has also made up his mind, this time the Myanmar jade public market, must be fully loaded, and because of this, Liu Shengping brought very sufficient funds this time, a full billion euros, this is the most liquid capital that Liu's jewelry can take out at present, after all, the ship is too big to turn around, many places need funds, it is impossible to take out too much at once, one billion euros, that is already the sky.
Liu Shengping also wanted to ask Zhang Tianyuan for help, but he also knew that Zhang Tianyuan would be very busy, in fact, he knew Zhang Tianyuan's situation best, and Tian Ruixiang was also short of jadeite raw materials now. (To be continued......)
