Chapter 262: The Second Martial Arts Competition
As far as domestic jewelry groups are concerned, it can be said that there is no one who can take out ten tons of gold in a short period of time, and it may be no problem to give more time, but in S City, a city where more than a dozen jewelry groups are fighting fiercely, 10 tons of gold is enough for Chow Tai Fook and Lao Fengxiang to completely collapse these jewelry companies.
As expected, on the evening of the 5th, some jewelry companies with a small gold market share in S City took the initiative to find the person in charge of Liuwei Group, and vaguely expressed their admitting defeat, hoping that Liuwei Group would raise their noble hands and leave them with something to eat.
The helmsman of Lukfook Jewellery called in person and said in an almost pleading tone: "Don't do this anymore, Lukfook Group has lost 2.3 billion yuan in the past few days, the profit has been gone for several years, thousands of employees still have to eat, and gold can't fall like this anymore!" ”
Gold is a labor-intensive and service-intensive industry, and there are more than 230,000 domestic gold diggers and gold enterprise employees in S City alone, because the price of gold has plummeted and profits have fallen, and the jobs of these tens of thousands of people have been seriously threatened, and they are always facing the threat of layoffs.
As a result, under the coordination of government departments, Liuwei Group and a number of time-honored jewelry groups in S City finally reached a settlement, agreeing not to engage in vicious competition business wars and restore the price of gold in the short term.
The price of gold has risen, which means that Liuwei, which sold a large amount of gold at a low price, suffered a big loss, and those enterprises or individuals who bought gold at a low price from Liuwei have made a lot of money, which is very unfavorable to Liuwei Group.
"Liuwei Group accepts the mediation conditions, but other jewelry companies must no longer take malicious price reductions, smears and other means to suppress Liuwei, otherwise Liuwei Group will not only protect its own interests legally, but also take more radical actions commercially. And this peace negotiation is not because we can't hold on anymore and want to admit defeat, but for the sake of tens of thousands of employees in the gold industry, not thinking about our own selfish interests! ”
At the meeting, Qiu Ziwen was righteous.
"Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Qiu is right, I am ashamed, ashamed. ”
"There are not many responsible enterprises like Liuwei Group, which is worth learning from."
"Yes, yes, yes, you must learn!"
The heads of some jewelry companies salivated and said with great compliments.
In addition, after the meeting, there were also some heads of jewelry companies who saw the form clearly. I would like to renew my relationship with the Liuwei Group.
A person said to Qiu Ziwen in private: "Mr. Qiu, this business war, we are wrong, we are willing to change the evil and return to the right, join the right camp, we have long seen that Chow Tai Fook, Lao Fengxiang These companies are not pleasing to the eye, they always force us to suppress small companies, sometimes even we suppress." It's really too deceitful, and the six-dimensional group is high-spirited. It's really a model for cooperation, so ......"
Under Lu Wei's instructions, Yau Ziwen is actually willing to accept these jewelry companies that can become "wall grass", mainly based on two considerations.
First, although Liuwei Group is still in the expansion period, the scale of the industry is still very limited. There are only five stores in S City, and none in other cities, only limited to one of the thousands of cities in China.
Like Chow Tai Fook, Lao Fengxiang's time-honored jewelry company, there are more than a dozen branches in any small county town in China. Even in some towns and villages, you can see those small gold shops, and the number is extremely terrifying.
Second, at present, Lu Wei has no motivation to expand, just relying on the big market of S City, he can earn tens of billions of dollars a year, why bother to expand in those corners, besides, the scale of the company is huge, and he can't control it effectively, and it is easy to have problems in the end.
As a result, Qiu Ziwen and seven or eight small jewelry groups such as Lukfook and Mingpai privately reached a consensus that Liuwei Group would provide the source of goods and continue to provide gold raw materials or gold finished products at 85% off the market price, and implement a low-price dumping strategy.
Of course, Chow Tai Fook, Lao Fengxiang and other big jewelry groups are still relatively resistant, not because they don't want to get this part of the profits, but because they don't want to be controlled by Liuwei, they are lukewarm to the cooperation plan, they resist in their hearts, and they don't put forward clear objections verbally, which seems to be a tacit acquiescence.
In fact, as far as the jewelry industry is concerned, gold is a huge market, but in addition to gold, diamonds, jade, gemstones, watches, pearls, etc. are also a big market, and there can be hundreds of products, such as Chow Tai Fook, which is a diamond giant, and the gold business only accounts for a part, so there is no need to look at the face of the Liuwei Group, and the reason why it suppresses Liuwei is just to maximize profits.
Starting from the 10th, all jewelry stores in S City, on top of gold, the unit price per gram tacitly rose by 10 yuan at the same time, and the rising trend in the next few days was even more crazy, not to mention the international gold price, but it led to a wave of rising winds, and the unit price of gold rose to 240 yuan per gram before stopping slightly.

Shenglong KTV, luxury box on the sixth floor.
Many young and old people gathered together, and even some of the young people who went abroad to gild also returned to the country and met friends they hadn't seen for a long time.
"Do you know that the second World Martial Arts Championship is about to start, and the second world No. 1 is about to come out." On the sofa, Zhang Hao said mysteriously.
Everyone was shocked.
Su Zifeng took a sip of his drink, leaned on the sofa and moved his back, and said, "The World Martial Arts Competition, like the Olympic Games, is also held once every four years, and this year is already the fourth year, so naturally it will be held for the second time." ”
"I don't know how many national masters participate in the competition?"
"I heard that the mortality rate of the first World Martial Arts Competition is as high as 30%, and the disability rate is also quite high, which is very bloody and terrifying, will many people participate?"
A young man has palpitations, he has seen the video of the first World Martial Arts Championship, it is indeed very bloody, but it is also very bloody, and it is not suitable for the faint of heart to watch at all.
"There will be a lot of people who will participate, because the national art represents the limit of human physical fitness, represents a kind of Tao, many martial artists are pursuing this way, in order to break through themselves, even if they die, they will not leave regrets, and many powerful boxers will die at the last moment."
"Viagra, this World Martial Arts Competition, do you sign up or not?" Zhang Hao approached Lu Wei and asked.
Lu Wei, who was enjoying the massage service of a masseuse, opened his half-squinted eyes, shook his head, and said, "This kind of low-level competition is no longer attractive to me. ”
"Low-level?" Zhang Hao was taken aback and said disappointedly: "Viagra, this is the World Martial Arts Competition, there are European physical martial arts masters, American genetic warriors, Japanese martial arts, Southeast Asian boxers, all kinds of masters gathered, you don't have the slightest idea of defeating them?" ”
Lu Wei shook his head, "An elephant is not proud of it for defeating an ant, I am not interested in defeating an ant." ”
Zhang Hao looked at him speechlessly, and said, "Viagra, you're too crazy, aren't you?" (To be continued......)
