Qin Shiou snapped his fingers again, pretending to be a little too much today, slightly drunk.

Nelson quickly opened his black suitcase, which contained the same black pearls, arranged in large and small rows, looking orderly and exuding a pleated glow, blinding the three Vincents.

Seeing so many black pearls, Vincent was not happy, but his expression became a little ugly, and he said, "Qin, I treat you as a little brother, isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?" ”

Black pearls belong to jewelry, and a lot of them can be produced every year, but Qin Shiou provides top-grade black pearls, which are high-end luxury jewelry, and only Tahiti, Australia can produce some, and the price is expensive.

And even if it is ordinary wild black pearls, there are very few places in the world that can be produced, strictly speaking, there are only two, one is Tahiti, the Polynesian archipelago, which produces 95% of the world's black pearls; The second is Penlin Island and Majuhiki Island in the Cook Islands, which account for 4% of the total production, and the rest of the region produces less than 1%.

This is a natural black pearl, and now more black pearls in the world are cultured black pearls, and the French Polynesian Islands developed black pearl farming technology thirty years ago. However, the cultivated black pearls belong to the nucleated black pearls, and the color and roundness are not as good as natural black pearls. So even though in 1976, the Gemological Institute of America recognized cultured black pearls from Tahiti as "a cultured pearl with natural color," cultured pearls were no match for wild pearls in the high-end luxury market.

What is the difference? That is the feeling, these wild black pearls provided by Qin Shiou, the most important thing is that its color has a sense of mystery. This is a black color that can be devoted, and the black pearls that are cultured are dull in color. After being soaked in sweat for a long time, the color becomes even more unsightly.

Luxury jewelry such as Wild Black Pearl has a specific market target. The only people who can buy them are the ones whose value dictates that they cannot be available to the whole society. According to the law of market supply and marketing, scarcity is expensive, and the smaller the number of high-quality black pearls, the higher the price, and if there are more, it is worthless.

At first, the price offered by Vincent and the three to Qin Shiou was calculated according to the entry of one hundred high-quality black pearls into the American high society, if he knew from the beginning that he had two thousand such high-quality black pearls, then Vincent would have to bargain at least half!

Qin Shiou knows this, but business is business. Auerbach and the Bruce couple have repeatedly emphasized to him this business rule, favors and business cannot be mixed and matched, otherwise it will definitely be themselves who will suffer.

Therefore, when he sold these black pearls, he played a little trick, and instead of showing all the black pearls, he took out a hundred to price them first.

It can't be said that he cheated Vincent, first of all, these black pearls are definitely worth the price; Secondly, Vincent started pricing him a little underpriced. squeezed the value of these black pearls from him, or that sentence, business is business, and the two of them don't care about their personal training. They're now in business.

This incident is a bit similar to when Qin Shiou and Butler pit Tezuka Kota together, they first sold him a bluefin tuna with excellent meat at a high price, and then waited for Tezuka Kota to buy it and bring it back to Tokyo to prepare for a big fight. Butler came over with three more bluefin tuna of the same quality.

At the beginning of last year, this incident was a bit miserable. Kiyomura Co., Ltd. has been a bit sluggish since then, and he has too much money to accompany the bluefin tuna.

But. Qin Shiou naturally couldn't treat Vincent like he did with Tezuka Kota, he had a solution, and asked first: "Don't worry, Mr. Tiffany, I want to ask, what are you going to do with these black pearls?" ”

Vincent said: "Make jewelry, big ones for tiaras, necklaces or other jewelry, small ones for earrings, lip beads and other jewelry. ”

Qin Shiou laughed and said, "So, why are you in a hurry? Although I still have two thousand black pearls in my hand, I have no conflict with you. Your plan is to disperse the black pearls, and I want to make a set of black pearls into a set of black pearls, at least 100 black pearls per set! ”

Vincent asked, "You mean to say that you're not going to sell these black pearls?" ”

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes, that's what it means, I won't sell them to you, nor will I sell them to other stores, I hope you make classic jewelry similar to the Night Empress, and I will dispose of them in the auction shop." ”

That was his first thought, and in fact he had another idea, but he couldn't say it now, it depended on what Vincent meant.

Vincent knew the value of these black pearls, he wanted to get them, and with Tiffany's strength, there was no financial pressure to buy all the black pearls. With more than 2,000 of the finest black pearls, he doesn't think Tiffany will need to buy more black pearls for the next two years.

Even, in the past two years, they can use these superb black pearls to do the market without purchasing other types of super jewelry such as blue diamonds, pink diamonds, jadeite, etc., and do various black pearl topics, and they will definitely achieve certain success in this regard.

The reason for this confidence is that Vincent knows that the value of black pearls has not yet been fully explored. You must know that only fifty years ago, black pearls were still an ordinary ornament, and if it weren't for the 'Black Pearl King' Salvador Assal, I am afraid that black pearls would still have no value today.

Black pearls have to be talked about at the beginning of the Second World War, when there was a big Italian diamond merchant named James Assal, who fled from Europe to Cuba for refuge.

There, he found a way to make a living, when the U.S. military needed waterproof watches, and Asal made a fortune by settling on a large number of high-quality waterproof watches through his connections in the Swiss jewelry industry.

But after the end of World War II, the U.S. military no longer bought waterproof watches, and Assal's business also came to an end, at this time there were still thousands of Swiss watches in stock, and the Swiss waterproof watches he got were all high-end goods, and the cost price was also very high, so he couldn't smash it in his hands.

And then things started to turn around, and the Japanese needed watches, but they didn't have the money, but they had pearls -- until now, Japan was a big pearl producer, but they produced white pearls.

Soon, James Asal and his son began bartering, exchanging Swiss watches for Japanese pearls. Business was booming and it didn't take long for his son Salvador. Asal is known as the "Pearl King".

But at that time, the Ansar family was still operating the white pearl business, and the black pearl was still a black glass ball, which appeared after the turnaround. (To be continued.) )
