Chapter 373 . Fried jadeite
First of all, this is said by Lao Tzu, how can it become Confucius, General Ava's Chinese is very good, it is no different from his mother tongue, but he still shows his feet in this place. Then, Huang Wenbin was very optimistic about General Ava's plan, and the more money he earned, the more he would live a richer life. Compared to motorcycles, cars, TVs, refrigerators, and generators, schools are not attractive at all.
"I think...... Perhaps, should, perhaps, more difficult. Huang Wenbin said. He remembers very well that the level of jadeite processing in Myanmar has not progressed, and almost all jadeite is processed domestically. In other words, General Ava's scheme was doomed to failure.
General Ava is not a superman, he is just a commander, and he must pay his troops to buy their loyalty, and pay the mountain people in the mining area to buy their support and occupy the mining area. If he wants to keep money to build a school, the money he will give to his subordinates and the local mountain people will definitely be less, and the army and mountain people will be dissatisfied. The fact that the Atai rebellion was so big must have something to do with local discontent.
If he uses his share to build the school, it will cause dissatisfaction among his wife and relatives, which is the core support force of Commander Ava. In addition, he mines and processes his own and sells himself, and those gem merchants who buy jadeite ore will definitely oppose it. The whole world is the enemy, how many can General Ava fight? Not to mention hitting ten, even if you can fight a hundred, a thousand is useless.
"Life is meaningful when you face difficulties, isn't it? What is the point of life if you follow the rules and follow the route arranged by others? General Ava said, "I have inquired about what you have done, I have never done the jadeite business before, and I have no intersection with the jadeite circle, so I dare to buy my rough stone." ”
"Yes." Huang Wenbin admitted.
"Then we're a match made in heaven." Ava said, "There's a business I want to talk to you about." ”
It's not like that, it's not good! Huang Wenbin almost called out, "I don't know what kind of business it is?" ”
"Jade's business." General Ava said, "I have recruited a few master craftsmen who plan to process jadeite jewelry directly in the mines. But I don't have a sales channel, directly entrust the jade merchants, they themselves are doing processing, even if they don't do it, relatives and friends and old customers will also do processing, they must push back, even if they reluctantly agreed, the profit given may not be as much as I directly sell the rough. ”
"I think so too." Huang Wenbin said that the finished jewelry needs to be designed, processed and polished, which may not meet the taste of customers, and the profit is not necessarily as high as selling the rough stone directly.
"But you're different, you're a newcomer, you haven't done jadeite before, and you don't have a relationship with jadeite processing." General Awa said, "I want to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with you, I will process the jadeite in Myanmar, and you will help me sell it." I can give you exclusive agency rights in this province. ”
The exclusive agency has a fart use, Huang Wenbin shook his head, "I don't want to do retail." ”
"You don't want to do retail? So what did you spend tens of millions of dollars to open a jewelry store? General Ava raised an eyebrow.
"This ...... It's just a joke. Huang Wenbin said with some embarrassment.
"Spend tens of millions to play?" General Ava smiled slightly, "Then let's play with Emerald again." What do you think of the exclusive right to give you the exclusive right to represent a province, the right of first refusal to select jadeite rough and finished products, and the ability to have various privileges in our mines? ”
"This ......" Huang Wenbin wanted to refuse.
"You're just starting to make jadeite, and you probably don't know how much of a privilege it is to have a privilege in the mines." General Ava said, "Just ask and you'll understand." Anyway, you have a jewelry store, so you won't lose anything by putting some jewelry on me. I don't need you to pay a franchise fee and a jade deposit or anything, anyway, I still have more than 100 million jade for you, even if it is your share money. I'll give you the jadeite, and you can sell it. Sell it and take it again, there is no risk at all, and the probability of making a lot of money is very high, what's so bad about that? ”
"I'm only interested in rough stones." Huang Wenbin said that as long as you look at the quality and size of the rough stone, you know how much it can be worth. The finished product is not the same, in addition to the quality of the size, but also to look at the hand, to look at the design, to see the fashion. Huang Wenbin is a newcomer, the size can still have an intuitive impression, the quality has embarrassed him to death, the color of the water and the earth, the combination is ever-changing, one is wrong, the value is far away. As for hand-designed popular elements, how could he possibly understand. If you don't understand, you can't valuate, let alone sell, what if you lose money.
"You're really ...... I've never seen anyone who only likes rough stones and doesn't like finished products. General Ava shook his head, "I see, you don't believe in my craft. This time I brought a batch of samples over, you take them and ask them first, to ensure that many people are interested. ”
"In that case, it's better to just turn the exhibition into a trade fair," Mr. Huang said, "and see how much it can sell." ”
"Yes, too." General Ava picked up a glass of boiled water and said, "Nice cooperation." ”
"Let's hope so, jadeite jewelry is expensive, and I'm afraid not many people can afford it." Huang Wenbin also said. He remembers that there were indeed finished jadeite jewelry for sale at the fair, but the price was too expensive, and a bracelet was priced at millions of dollars, so there were many people who saw it, but few people bought it. Now he knows that the price is actually quite reasonable, and it can even be said to be cheap.
Now Huang Wenbin came to carry out the fair, it is not so easy, after all, the provincial capital is a second-tier city, and the consumption power is relatively low. It's one thing to pull a bunch of people to look at the jadeite rough with a price tag of one billion and eight billion, and it's another thing to get them to shell out millions to buy jewelry. Even Ding Shishi, the second generation of local tyrants and riches, wanted to buy a jade bracelet, but she hesitated and hesitated, bargained for several months, and finally didn't start.
"How so?" General Ava disagreed, "Didn't you sell a lot of wine in the past few months, more than a million bottles?" How can a 30-year-old wine compare to millions of years of jade? ”
Even General Ava knew about this, and Huang Wenbin was speechless. In fact, there is a special reason why that batch of liquor can be sold at such a high price. The first is scarcity, millions of years old jadeite is common, and 30-year-old wine is very rare. And after a long period of warm-up before selling, everyone regards these wines as an investment, and the price is so high.
"It seems that Boss Huang also agrees with me." General Ava said, "In that case, without further ado, hurry up and put the jadeite on the shelves." The sooner you put it on the market, the sooner you make money. ”
"We're going to wait for the right moment." Huang Wenbin thought about it and felt that it was better to hype it up first.
"When is the right time?" General Ava asked.
"After the live TV, of course." Huang Wenbin said. The news of the jade exhibition has been on the city TV station, but the popularity is not enough. After the live broadcast on the provincial station, the popularity will soar and attract enough potential buyers. In order to cooperate with this live broadcast, I have to find ways to hype it up for a few days.
"I don't understand Huaxia's affairs, it's all up to you." General Ava said, "Hopefully we can all make a lot of money." ”
Huang Wenbin's ambition is not only to make a lot of money, he also wants to be easy. I thought that jadeite was such an easy and lucrative business, but I didn't expect it to evolve into the current situation. The so-called seeking of wealth and danger is not such a way to seek. This jadeite business is really troublesome, I knew that I would fry Hetian jade, although Hetian jade is deeper than jadeite, and the price increase is less than jadeite, as well as Qinghai jade, Russian jade and a lot of knockoffs, but at least the origin is in the country, there will be no such trouble.
Although he was reluctant, he had already promised General Ava, and Huang Wenbin still wanted to do things well. So the province, Taiwan and Taiwan suddenly became a jade lover, today put a jade legend, tomorrow put a jade king, the day after tomorrow put a gambling stone documentary.
At the beginning and end of the film, it is mentioned that gambling is harmful, gambling stones may be bankrupt, the text is full of who, who bought a stone for 500 yuan, and unraveled it, which is worth tens of millions of jade, who gambled on the stone and made a fortune, and played with a woman every night to get caught that disease, so he had to go to the hospital for treatment, spent a full 100,000 yuan, and spent a full 1% of the profits obtained from gambling stones.
Anyone who sees it can't help but be enthusiastic, and they can't wait to immediately take a piece of jade rough to cut it and make a fortune. At this time, there is news of the jadeite rough fair, there are countless rough stones for cutting, as long as you spend 100 yuan to buy a ticket, you can participate in the lottery, the prize is different sizes of jadeite rough, everyone has a share, never fail. There are also a variety of jadeite products for sale, which are guaranteed to be more than 50% cheaper than the price in the mall. If you come, you will make money, and if you don't come, you will lose money, and now that the tickets have been opened for online and telephone reservations, why don't you hurry up and buy one?
The popularity of ticket sales far exceeded Huang Wenbin's expectations. Originally, I thought that a ticket of 100 yuan would be able to sell two or three thousand, even if it was a province. As a result, as soon as the telephone booking opened, the phone bell did not stop. At first it was five lines, then ten, twenty, and thirty were opened. In two days, more than 8,000 tickets were sold, and tens of thousands of tickets were booked without payment. Even the Taobao store with tickets has become popular, and countless people have made Taobao accounts just to buy tickets.
In the end, Huang Wenbin had to stop urgently, and the number of tickets sold exceeded the reception capacity of Wude Hotel. Then the price of the tickets that had been sold went up, originally 100 yuan a piece, but soon 2300 rushed up, and the highest was 600, and there was no market, and there were even people who forged tickets for profit. Let Huang Wenbin hang his chest, he knew that he would be like this, it is better to be a scalper himself, and now he is all cheaper than others.
