Chapter 181: Diamonds

"If I knew, I'll talk about it tomorrow!"

There is indeed no jade Liu Dong of imperial green glass now, but there is such a piece in today's clear mark wool. Although the auction of Mingbiao wool has not yet begun, Liu Dong has long regarded this top jadeite as his own bag.

As long as after today, after getting this piece of wool, he promised Wang Qiang that the glass kind of imperial green will naturally be able to get it.

And at this moment, in order to divert Wang Qiang's attention, Liu Dong hurriedly asked: "Sister Wang, you see that we have already talked about the factors of capital, raw materials, and market now!" What else do we need to pay attention to? ”

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Wang Qiangqiao's face showed a hint of thought, "In addition to these three aspects, the next words should be the venue and personnel!" However, this is easy to solve, as long as we can acquire a jewelry company, and then recruit some people, I believe that these two aspects can be solved lightly! ”

After hearing this, before Liu Dong could be happy, Wang Qiang's willow eyebrows wrinkled again, "However, there is one more thing that we need to solve!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Master Craftsman!" Wang Qiang said solemnly, "Jade masters, inlay masters, if there is no them, no matter how good the jade is, it will not become exquisite jewelry!" ”

After listening to Wang Qiang's words, Liu Dong frowned, because he himself was a master of Zhuoyu, and he forgot about this when he thought of starting a jewelry company.

This is somewhat suspicious of waiting for the black.

Of course, at this time, listen to Wang Qiang mention. Liu Dong also began to pay attention to the master craftsman.

Although he himself has extraordinary jade craftsmanship. But it is impossible for him alone to supply the sales of the entire company. Therefore, the jade master still needs it, and of course, the inlay master, only they can make the carved jade jade into a piece of exquisite jewelry wearing gold and silver.

But if you really want to talk about it, Liu Dong's knowledge of people in these two aspects is limited, and he can't look down on people who are too skilled, so he scratched his head for a while.

"Sister Wang, how did other jewelry companies solve this matter?" Liu Dong had no choice but to ask Wang Qiang for advice.

After listening to her words, Wang Qiang smiled. "In general, there are two ways to resolve this situation. The first is to train jade masters and setters themselves, but this is too costly, and is usually only done by large jewelry companies with deep pockets. ”

"Another way is to entrust it to a third party!"

"A third party?" Liu Dong was surprised.

"Well, the masters of jade and inlay belonged to the cheap industry in ancient times, and ordinary people learned this little, and it was generally a family inheritance method such as father to son. In modern times, especially in the southern Suzhou-Zhou, Yang-Zhou and other places, many high-level craftsmen are family heirlooms, and they generally have their own studios or processing factories. At that time, we only need to provide the raw materials of the jade and pay a part of the processing fee. They will be able to process the jade raw materials into finished jewelry for us. The cost of doing so is much lower than the cost of training craftsmen themselves, and most small and medium-sized jewelry companies will choose this method! ”

After listening to Wang Qiang's words, Liu Dong's face also showed a look of thought.

According to his original intention, he naturally desires to use the first kind and have his own jade master and inlay master. Because of his endless jade support, Liu Dong believes that his jewelry company will soon rise to become a well-known large-scale jewelry group in the country.

However, Liu Dong also knows that if he wants to take this step, it will not happen overnight, after all, the jade master and the inlay master are not able to be cultivated in a short period of time, and they are all calculated in years, even if it is a high-priced solicitation, it is estimated that the result will not be too big, after all, like high-level craftsmen are real treasures in the industry, and they belong to the absolute scarcity.

This kind of talent either has a long time in the house, or just likes to go it alone. Unless it really happens, the chances of such a thing are basically not very large.

However, even so, Liu Dong didn't want to use the second method that Wang Qiang just said, he didn't want to spend money on the jadeite he worked so hard to gamble, but it became a tool to improve other people's craftsmanship!

"Sister Wang, don't be in a hurry about this matter! You make me think about it! ”

After listening to Liu Dong's words and looking at the thoughtful expression on his face, Wang Qiang nodded lightly. Although there is no shortage of money, raw materials, and markets now, it is not possible to find a store, recruit personnel, and prepare for the opening of the store in a short time, at least three or four months, so there is still time for Liu Dong to find a solution to the problem.

"Xiaodong, in the future, do you plan to specialize in the jade and jade business?"

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled, "Of course not, I will also add Hetian jade in the future, as well as Nanyang Dushan jade, Xiuyan jade from Liao Province, turquoise from Beihu Province, etc.!" Anyway, as long as it's jewelry, we'll do it in the future! ”

If he didn't have a chance before, now that he has decided to set up a jewelry company, Liu Dong naturally wants to do his best to do his best. Only jadeite has achieved the purpose of making money, but the influence is limited! Liu Dong will naturally not be satisfied.

"And what about diamonds?" Wang Qiang then asked.

"Diamonds?"

Hearing this, Liu Dong had a headache.

Although China's diamond reserves are the largest in Asia, the scale of diamond mines being mined is not large, and the output is also small, generally less than 100,000 carats per year, which can reach gem quality, and only about half is sold as jewelry.

Although, in China's jadeite mines, there have also been 281.25 carats of gold-colored diamonds, "Golden Rooster Diamonds"; 157.786 carats, pale yellow diamonds, "Changlin diamonds" and 124.27 carats of diamonds, "Chenbu No. 1", and 119.01 carats of diamonds, "Mengshan No. 1" and other hundreds of carats, can be named precious diamonds, but they are the same as the diamond mines, they all belong to the state, private companies can not be inserted into it at all.

Moreover, now that the share of diamonds in China has long been divided by large jewelry companies that were established earlier, he has no chance to insert it at all.

After all, no matter who it is, they don't want another one to emerge on their own territory.

Therefore, if Liu Dong's jewelry company wants to deal in diamonds in the future, it can only find a way from abroad, but at this time, where does Liu Dong have a way abroad.

However, Liu Dong himself knows that diamonds, the most famous type of jewelry in the world, are also precious jewelry comparable to jadeite and Hetian jade in China, and he cannot give it up.

"Sister Wang, let's figure out a way about diamonds later, right? Now I don't have any better ideas! Liu Dong smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang smiled, then nodded lightly and did not speak.

As an insider who has worked hard in the jewelry industry for many years, Wang Qiang naturally knows the treasure of diamond resources, just like Dingfu Jewelry, where she is now, although it is already a large jewelry company across Shandong and Henan provinces, but diamonds can only rely on Korean jewelry to give them a little every year, and there is no channel for their own source of goods.

Of course, the reason why she said this just now was also to embarrass Liu Dong, lest he be too complacent and make a mistake when he started a jewelry company.

"Jingle ......!" At this moment, Liu Dong's mobile phone on the table rang.

"Hey, Brother Li, what's the matter?" Liu Dong said after answering the button.

"Hey, Xiaodong, you go to the gambling stone venue with Brother Zhou today, I happen to have something to do here, I'll go over to you later!" Li Yuncong said, took out the key and opened the car door.

"Well, got it! If you need my help, just say it! Liu Dong said.

"No, I can handle it! Okay, let's not talk about it for now, I still have to drive, hang up first! ”

"Well, goodbye!" Saying that, Liu Dong hung up the phone.

"Who?" Wang Qiang asked with some curiosity.

"Hehe, a friend of mine, I'll introduce you to each other when the time comes!"

As soon as Liu Dong's voice fell, a knock on the door sounded, "Hey, Liu Dong and Sister Wang open the door!" ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Qiang stood up with a smile, "Hehe, Tingting is here!" ”

Thinking of this eldest lady, Liu Dong's face showed a hint of headache.

At this time, as Wang Qiang opened the door, wearing a white half-sleeved shirt and a pair of cyan skinny denim shorts, the tall Jiang Tingting suddenly rushed in.

"Ah, you're eating, it just so happens that my stomach is hungry too, I'll eat some first!" Jiang Tingting was not polite when she said that, she sat on Wang Qiang's seat with her buttocks, and she didn't wash her hands, so she grabbed a fritter and took a bite, then opened her mouth and chewed it.

There is no ladylike appearance at all, which makes Liu Dong wonder if she is from an official family!

Looking at the surprised look on Liu Dong's face, Wang Qiang couldn't help but smile and patted Jiang Tingting's back and said, "Okay, you eat slowly." Is there anyone to rob you! ”

"No, let's eat quickly, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the gambling stone conference in a while!" Jiang Tingting's small mouth was stuffed with fritters, and she said indistinctly.

Hearing this, Liu Dong looked at the time on his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not half past seven now, and the venue of the Gambling Stone Conference won't open until half past eight, so we have plenty of time." ”

"What? Eight thirty? There's still an hour, no, I have to hurry up and eat, or it'll be too late! As she spoke, Jiang Tingting sped up again.

Seeing this, Liu Dong and Wang Qiang glanced at each other, shook their heads in unison, and stopped persuading her.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Tingting raised her greasy little paw and said with a satisfied face: "Okay, I'm done!" Let's go! ”

At this time, Wang Qiang, who had already changed her clothes, said with a smile: "Go and wash your hands, they are all oil!" ”

"Ah, you wait for me!"

With that, Jiang Tingting trotted into the kitchen.

After she cleaned up, the three of them came down from the upper floor. (To be continued......)
