Chapter 559: Inspecting the Jewelry Store
The industry in Shangfen at the entrance of the village is almost comparable to that of a medium-sized family in China, involving several major types, as mentioned before, there are jewelry stores, jade antique shops, small electronics companies, and even a medium-sized entertainment club.
There are a total of ten jewelry stores, as many as three in the Eastern Metropolitan Area, and the rest are all over the major cities of the small island country, there are two jade antique shops, and there are shops in the two major antique cities in the Eastern Capital.
As for the entertainment club, it is the primary caretaker of the underworld, which one does not have a black background.
In the Eastern Capital, the world's important economic center, Asia's largest and most leading city, the prosperity here is unimaginable to ordinary people, with the strong strength of Ye's jewelry, it can only open two branches in the Eastern Capital, which shows the development and fierce competitiveness of the Eastern Capital's commerce, as well as the high prices.
The fact that Muraguchi Shangfen has been able to maintain until now under the condition of having so many industries also indirectly shows how powerful the forces behind him are, but unfortunately, due to Fang You's strategy, several major forces either voluntarily or forcibly joined forces to defeat Muraguchi Shangfen without the power to fight back.
Among them, the biggest forces are the governments of small island countries and China, and even if a person and a force are strong to the sky, they will never be able to fight the government, except in the era of war.
The Takebe family also fell for Fang You's scheme, joined it, and contributed their strength to the smooth death of the village, and of course, they were also severely pitted by the government of the small island country.
Even if the Takebe family does not take action, the government of the small island country will also execute the village in order to appease the anger of the Chinese ambassador to the island.
Looking at the things on the document, Fang You suddenly realized a truth, that is, the difference between power and individuality.
In the eyes of ordinary people, his experience over the years is very powerful, but in the eyes of those super families, it is not worth mentioning, because no matter how great his influence is, he is only one person, and the influence and role of the force are much stronger than one person.
If he didn't know Dong Qilin when he rescued Ye Yuqing last time, would he be able to borrow a yacht in a very short period of time with his influence on antiques, no, would he have to rely on Chu Lao's influence to do things all his life.
Fang You nodded lightly, maybe these industries in the village can be used as the development location of his own forces, thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little grateful to the village mouth.
"Little wanderer, what are you thinking?" Looking at Fang You's silent appearance in the car and looking at the documents, Ye Yuqing asked with some doubts.
"Hehe, Yuqing, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about what kind of help I will have if I take over these industries." Fang You raised his head and smiled.
Ye Yuqing smiled softly, "It will help you a lot, we naturally don't need to say much about money, these industries have excellent geographical locations, not you can buy them with money, jewelry stores can digest the jade you solve, so much jadeite, it is impossible for Longyou Auction House to finish the auction in a few years, of course, you can also use high-quality jadeite to make these jewelry stores into boutique stores, so that the influence will be greatly increased, the upper class people in small island countries are very fond of jewelry." ”
"The jade antique shop can buy some ordinary antiques that you have found, and you can also auction off the rare antiques you receive through the Longyou Auction House, which will form a good circular chain...... Ye Yuqing said with a smile that these industries may be of help to Fang You.
Fang You blinked, he didn't expect Ye Yuqing to think so far, he couldn't help but give Ye Yuqing a thumbs up, "Yuqing, sure enough, I was right to find you as my wife, and you can be a housekeeper if you have nothing to do." ”
"Seriously, I won't be able to ignore you anymore." Ye Yuqing glanced at him, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said angrily.
Fang You smiled lightly, pointed to the major industries on the document, and asked Ye Yuqing, "Yuqing, where are we going first?" ”
Ye Yuqing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Do you want to touch the bottom of each company, or go to the head office first." ”
"Of course it's the former, go to the head office, so what's the point of our trip, what is on writing, it's not as real as what we have seen with our own eyes." Fang You said with a smile, since he has decided to take these industries in the village as the starting point of his forces, then he can't be sloppy, and he must take it seriously.
"Then let's go to the jewelry store first, according to the scale of the industry in the village, the jewelry industry is undoubtedly the most important, and if we get them, things will go a lot smoother." Ye Yuqing said with a light smile.
Fang You smiled faintly and pinched the document, "It's done, no, we're going to receive, if those managers have some skills, maybe I won't care, if they just want to play some conspiracy, then, I will never accompany them, I can only let them lose their jobs." ”
He has no intention of taking over these properties, and he has to work hard, and under the power of government documents, any resistance can only come to naught, although he is good at using stratagem, but it also depends on where and under what circumstances, and now this kind of thing, stratagem is no longer as effective as pure power.
"If they all strike, see what you do." Ye Yuqing said with a little schadenfreude.
Fang You patted her arm, "With Ye Da Beauty by her side, she can be worth thousands of troops." ”
"Don't be poor, Xiao Liu, drive to this place." Ye Yuqing glared at him, and then told the young man driving in front of him the address of the jewelry head store on the document.
Xiao Liu answered, and then entered the location in the navigator, heading towards the destination, his heart was full of shock at the moment, the observation of the past few days, the relationship between Fang You and his own lady, there is no need to guess, at first he thought that Fang You was just a bodyguard, an ordinary person, but the things he learned from these few drives were far beyond his ability to bear.
Fang You is not as ordinary as he imagined at all, but powerful, he is a strong existence in Pingzhou Gongpan, let the Li family return from failure, and now he has also won the medal of righteousness and courage from the small island country, this kind of thing, his shocked brain can't think about it.
The jewelry main store is located in one of the lively streets of Ginza, the most prosperous shopping center in the island country, and the other two branches in the eastern capital are in other prosperous shopping markets.
got out of the car and came to the bustling Ginza again, Fang You couldn't help but have a headache, for fear that Ye Yuqing would use him as a hanger again, fortunately, Ye Yuqing knew that there was something important today, and he didn't show the ** of shopping, and what was exposed outside was still that cold and ruthless appearance, but in this coldness, with a little warmth, it was no longer the kind of coldness that went deep into the bone marrow.
On an avenue full of people, they saw the main jewelry store under the banner of Shangfen at the entrance of the village, which is a huge store covering an area of about 5,000 square meters, surrounded by extremely luxurious and beautiful decorations, and the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling windows can allow people to see the beautiful jewelry inside without obstacles.
On the light boxes on both sides of the gate, there are promotional lights of a small island star wearing jewelry, which looks very attractive, and directly above the store, there is a sign made of English letters, which is the same as the letters on the promotional lights on the light boxes on both sides.
In terms of daily language, Fang You can make do, but this single English word is difficult for him, unlike Chinese characters, there is a gap between the meaning of a word in English and the meaning of a sentence.
Under Ye Yuqing's translation, he knew that the brand of the jewelry company under Muraguchi Shangfen was beautiful, Fang You couldn't help but shake his head and smile, Muraguchi Shangfen looked extremely reckless, presumably this name would not have been given by him.
Entering the jewelry store with Ye Yuqing, several beautiful staff members wearing professional clothes on both sides bowed and said hello together, which couldn't help but make people feel a sense of superiority in their hearts.
Fang You and Ye Yuqing nodded with smiles on their faces, and then wandered around this jewelry store casually, before receiving this jewelry store, it is still very necessary to understand the various jewelry in the store.
Ye Yuqing looked at these jewels and couldn't help but shake her head, these jewels rarely have bright spots, I'm afraid that the level of designers in this jewelry store will not be high.
"Little wanderer......" Ye Yuqing frowned, pointed to a few pieces of jade jewelry, and glanced at Fang You slightly.
Fang You walked closer, took a slight look, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy, Shangfen at the entrance of the village is not a good thing, and the jewelry store opened here is also not a good thing, some of the jadeite is artificially processed, and it is not naturally generated at all.
No wonder the village mouth on the fen jewelry store opened more than a dozen, but failed to make a name for itself in the small island country, it turns out that its company and the village mouth on the fen himself, are playing with the existence of fraud, with the name of the vice president of the village mouth on the fen jade association, it is undoubtedly very easy to get a jade identification certificate.
There is a jade A goods identification certificate below these jadeite jewelry to prove that they are completely natural beautiful jadeite, in fact, some inferior jadeite, after artificial dyeing, filler processing and formation.
For jadeite, his understanding of this earth-like substance is much deeper than that of ordinary people, Ye Yuqing observed for a period of time, and only then did he find the suspicion, he could see it at a glance.
Seeing that most of the jewelry stores in this shop were foreigners, Fang You seemed to understand a little that the reason why these pit people's jewelry stores have been able to maintain until now is probably one of the main reasons why these wealthy tourists from abroad are the main reasons.
Foreign tourists generally stay in small island countries for a short time, and cannot find out the suspicions on the jewelry, after returning to their country, even if they find out, come here to find trouble, I am afraid that the village with the background of the jade association and the underworld will not be afraid of them, not to mention that these jewelry also have a formal appraisal certificate.
Those who slaughter are passers-by, and those who buy disposable jewelry are not repeat customers, and naturally, they cannot form a brand effect.
Fang You shook his head slightly, maybe what Shangfen left for himself was not a pie, but a mess.
"Sir, Madam, if you like any jewelry, you can choose to wear it and see the effect, our beautiful jewelry is a famous brand in a small island country." It seemed that Fang You and the others were foreign tourists, and a smile appeared on the face of this beauty.
Ye Yuqing pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then chose a jade bracelet, the color of this bracelet was very gorgeous, and its water looked like a hibiscus seed, but in Fang You's opinion, these were completely waterless, unplanted, and bottomless stones.
In the process of learning with Li Lao, Li Lao once told him that the counterfeiting methods of jadeite are endless, and ordinary people, even some people who understand jade, cannot distinguish the real from the fake, and there is a way to turn these stone-like materials into crystal clear jadeite.
Chemical immersion with strong acid, that is, washing the bottom, the bracelet bubbled out, has a little glossy feeling, and then manually dyed these jadeite, and finally entered the vacuum high-pressure glue injection machine, with highly toxic chemicals into the glue, after the glue injection is completed, the bracelet made of this stone material has water and color, and then these semi-finished products are polished and polished, and the last beautiful jade bracelet is baked.
These artificially made jadeite, whatever color you want, can give you what color, it is simply more powerful than nature's ability to create, but these jadeite is beautiful, but it is far less than an inferior natural jadeite, natural jadeite contains a variety of minerals, beneficial to the human body.
However, these fake jadeites are full of all kinds of highly toxic substances, and people say that wearing jade is only for self-cultivation, and these fake jadeites can be worn on the body, which is undoubtedly an act of looking for death.
The long-term release of toxins and various radioactive elements can be called highly carcinogenic chemical treasures.
"This beautiful lady, wear it on your wrist to see the effect, this sunny green jade bracelet will add a lot of beauty to you, and now there is a discount promotion, the original price is two million yen, and now it only costs one and a half million." The beautiful reception lady said with a smile.
Ye Yuqing smiled lightly, she didn't have the intention of wearing it, she didn't even mean to pick up the jadeite, this artificially treated fake jadeite contained highly poisonous, and a person like her from a jewelry family naturally knew it clearly.
"Ah, Xiaoqing, 1.5 million yen, it's too expensive, we don't have to look at it anymore." Fang You was suddenly taken aback, one and a half million yen was converted into RMB, which was only about 100,000, but this jade bracelet, although it was not made of stone, was also an inferior jadeite product, and in China, it was only about 100 yuan at most.
Ye Yuqing glanced at him with a smile, then hesitated for a moment and stood up reluctantly.
"Sir, madam, if you are interested in buying, I can ask the manager to give you some more discounts, come to a foreign trip, always bring back a few things, bring back our beautiful jewelry brand, it will definitely attract everyone's attention." This beautiful woman was not tired of selling to Fang You.
Fang You smiled faintly, and was about to say something, but he heard a crisp voice next to him, "This beautiful sister, let's take a look here, the price of jewelry here may be more suitable for you." ”
The two turned their heads to see that in a corner not far away, a girl who looked a little innocent was waving at them.
Originally, Fang You didn't want to watch it anymore, but when he saw the enthusiastic beauty in front of them with an angry look on his face, it was because of the customers in the store and he didn't have a seizure.
This made Fang You a little puzzled, he just suspected that these two people had teamed up to deceive them, but now it seemed that there was no other mystery, "Little Youzi, the jewelry in this little sister's place seems to be very beautiful, this beauty, I'm sorry, let's go over there and have a look." Ye Yuqing glanced at the counter in front of the girl a few times, her eyes lit up slightly, she pulled Fang You, said sorry to the beautiful woman's reception, and then walked towards the counter.
Coming to the counter, Fang You glanced at the things in the counter a few times, but he was a little surprised, although the jewelry here is not very good, but it is all pure natural jadeite, but the workmanship is a little rough.
Thinking of what happened just now, Fang You couldn't help but be confused, what the hell was going on, how could there be such a strange existence in this store full of fakes, and it seemed that this little girl had a lot of hatred for other people.
"Brother, sister, look at it casually, these are pure natural jadeite, without a little impurity, although in terms of beauty, it is not as good as those jadeite next to it, but the price is right, and you can feel at ease when you buy it back." This somewhat innocent little girl said to Fang You and the others with a smile on her face.
Fang You couldn't help but wonder even more, how could there be two completely different scenes in this store, the peace of mind that this little girl said probably meant that the jadeite next to her was a fake.
"Little girl, what's your name, these jewels are all designed and made by you yourself." At this moment, Ye Yuqing looked at the little girl's hand and said with some surprise.
The little girl had a look of shock on her face, "Sister, my name is Chiba Lingxue, how do you know that I designed and made these jewels." ”
"It doesn't matter how I know, the important thing is that I saw your mind, this butterfly earring is very good, Ling Xue, take it out and let me see." Ye Yuqing said with a smile.
With a smile on her face, Chiba Lingxue nodded, and took out the earrings, someone appreciated the jewelry she designed, which was undoubtedly an affirmation for her.
"Chiba Lingxue, don't think that you can design jewelry, you can attract customers to buy things from you, don't you know, the manager has already notified you, and if you win over customers like this, you don't have to work here, if it weren't for the manager taking pity on you, how would you have worked here until now." Suddenly, the beautiful staff member who received Fang You and Ye Yuqing just now said extremely harsh words in the island language.
