"This trip to Australia is a blessing and a curse."

In the Lingbao reception room, Yang Guang and Cheng Zhiyang were talking. Cheng Zhiyang was very interested in Lingbao's ornaments, but they were exhibited a few days ago. Now that the exhibition is over, knowing that Yang Guang is willing to sell, Cheng Zhiyang has also come over.

However, at this time, the ornaments were not in the Lingbao store, and after the exhibition ended, they were sent directly to the bank vault. There are always a small number of customers who are interested in buying such expensive luxury goods, so they are placed in bank vaults to ensure safety. Wei Zheng took someone to the bank at this time, ready to bring the ornaments over.

During the waiting period, Yang Guang asked Cheng Zhiyang about going to Australia with some curiosity, he knew that Cheng Zhiyang was investing in mining in Australia, and Yang Guang was very interested in receiving ore abroad, so he took this opportunity to learn about it.

"When I first passed, I was very depressed, and I received the news that there was a problem in a mining area over there, and the quality of iron ore had dropped a lot. In the past, I just wanted to understand the specific situation, to see whether to end mining directly or continue, this year's iron ore price drop, always consider the cost issue. ”

Cheng Zhiyang did not shy away from saying it, and directly told the story.

"Will you still lose? Not to mention that our country is the largest importer of iron ore, it has no pricing power and is often pitted. That's why so many companies go overseas to collect ore? Yang Guang asked with some doubts,

"How not! Our country lacks iron ore resources, but countries like Australia do not. The reason why so many companies go overseas to invest in mining is because the pricing power is not in our hands, and in order to reduce costs, they want to collect mines themselves. But if the output is not as profitable as the iron ore of other companies, then it will naturally be a loss. Cheng Zhiyang explained.

Yang Guang didn't blush for his loneliness, "In this way, I always thought that overseas mining was very high-end and high-grade, after all, those who have this kind of action are large enterprises." Moreover, many companies have taken the initiative to go out in recent years, and the media reports are also very hot, and I thought it was very profitable! ”

Cheng Zhiyang shook his head and said with some self-deprecation, "What is very profitable, in the past few years, 80 percent of the major companies that have acquired mines overseas have lost money, and the number of losses is quite a lot, and the losses of state-owned enterprises are even greater. ”

Knowing that Yang Guang would definitely be puzzled, Cheng Zhiyang directly explained, "There are many reasons for this, deducting geopolitical risks, let's use Australia, a country with a stable political situation, to illustrate." There is a big difference between the geological survey process and the number of addresses issued in foreign countries and those in China. Those foreigners don't have things, and they won't sue you at all. Some people understand the loss, and some understand it in advance. But even if you know about this problem in advance, you can't help it.

If you want to make an accurate judgment, you need a domestic exploration agency to conduct geological exploration, which takes time, at least half a year. If you bid, it's too late. In this case, many companies are anxious and think that they will definitely not suffer losses, and they will lose money. ”

Yang Guang was a little staggered, he used to be a sling, and he didn't pay attention to these tall projects at all, but now he has only learned a little bit about it.

"Oh, by the way, other people's description of this kind of overseas mining is 'gambling stones', you are a master in this regard, you should be aware of the risks of gambling stones, there are always a few who can make money. The past two years have been better, and everyone has become smarter. This can be seen from the development of today's domestic exploration institutions. ”

Cheng Zhiyang sighed, "No matter what, in today's situation, if you are cautious about collecting ore abroad, it is still quite developed, and our country lacks too many mineral resources." The little devils are very shrewd in this regard, and they have been buying overseas all over the world for decades, and of course, this has something to do with their environment. But no matter what, now the little devils are buying. Don't look at them, they are also big importers of mineral resources, but they spend much less than us.

It's like iron ore, when iron ore is priced every year, the little devil not only doesn't mind the price increase, but also cooperates quite well. Because they have shares in BHP Billiton and other companies, no matter how much the price rises, they will not suffer, and they will even have to make money. ”

Although Yang Guang definitely doesn't like Dongying people, he has to admit that these guys really have a set.

"I still remember the evaluation of our country in the textbook, and it is really awkward to think about it now." Yang Guang said in a strange tone,

"Our country really has a lot of resources, but we have too many people and the economy is developing too fast."

Cheng Zhiyang said very calmly, with his status and experience over the years, he has obtained more information and seen things more thoroughly.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, sometimes it's depressing. It's like those guys in the Middle East, lying on the oil heap and living in luxury without doing anything, who could have imagined this situation more than a hundred years ago. It can be seen that such things as fate and luck are really important. ”

Yang Guang was a little speechless when he thought of the extravagance of those Middle Eastern tyrants.

"Haha, they are lying on the oil pile, but there is no water, and the oil cannot be drunk as water. There are always very few things that are perfect, and it is the United States that is truly blessed with resources. Cheng Zhiyang said with a smile,

"But you're right, luck is a really important thing. Didn't I tell you just now that this trip to Australia will be a blessing and a curse? When I was discussing with people in the mining area what to do, the workers below unexpectedly discovered an associated mine, which was still a gold mine. Although the reserves are not high, and the difficulty of mining is not small, the profit is not low, not only can make up for the loss caused by iron ore, but also make a profit. ”

"Then congratulations to Brother Cheng, no wonder it's all red these days." Yang Guang quipped.

"Amour, you ask this, are you also interested in developing in this direction?" Cheng Zhiyang waved his hand, then looked at Yang Guang and asked,

"I had this idea, but I haven't thought about it yet. The jewellery industry is very much related to minerals, and many of them are in similar situations. Iron ore has BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Vale almost monopolized, while jewelry, such as diamonds, although De Beers does not have a direct monopoly on the world as in previous years, but it also indirectly controls the price of raw materials. And jadeite is monopolized by Myanmar. If you want to make more money, you have to find a way to enter the upstream. ”

Yang Guang said, naturally, this is only a superficial reason.

If you simply want to make money, relying on the ability of the blacksmith shop, Yang Guang can easily do it. But what he needed more was the energy to supply the blacksmith's shop. The source of energy is all kinds of jewelry raw materials, except for cultured pearls, which have less energy content than natural pearls, but also contain zài.

All other synthetic gems do not have the slightest energy, so the natural treasure raw materials are Yang Guang's life.

Through guò synthesis to improve the specification of jewelry raw materials, the market value has increased, but in terms of energy, it is more than worth the loss.

Although Yang Guang's energy is still enough now, just the domestic raw material market can easily digest his needs, but in the future?

The blacksmith shop is the foundation and reliance of Yang Guang, which is related to the energy source of the blacksmith shop, and Yang Guang definitely does not want his life to be controlled by others, so he has the idea of entering the upstream of jewelry raw material development. The sooner you prepare for this kind of thing, the better.

Diamonds, gold, jadeite, ruby sapphires and jade may be a little tougher, because the value of these jewelry raw materials is the highest, but you can try to enter the market of raw materials such as Qinghai jade and Russian white jade, which are not highly sought after in the market.

However, this idea is not in a hurry, there is no way, the upstream industry of similar minerals is a lot of investment, although Yang Guang can now be said to be a small tyrant, but compared with those mineral predators, it is not even a small shrimp. In his mind, those who engage in mining are not bad for money.

Although Cheng Zhiyang also said just now that the loss rate of overseas ore collection has been very high in recent years, the more this is the case, the more it explains the problem.

In contrast, Yang Guang, a small local tyrant, is very poor in money, so he can't be in a hurry, because mineral exploration is a big investment and high risk, and Yang Guang's capital is not enough, even if he is ready to start from a small mine.

"It's just an idea, but it's not in a hurry, after all, Lingbao only has one store now, not to mention the upstream, even if it is a small shrimp among the downstream sellers, there is no need to worry about these things." Yang Guang added,

"Lingbao has such a reputation now, and you have good skills and ambition in gambling stones, and you will be able to become big sooner or later. It's good to prepare in advance. If you need my help, just tell me, and ......" Cheng Zhiyang didn't feel that Yang Guang was ambitious, but appreciated,

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door. Wei Zheng and a few security guards brought in a few special boxes, opened them carefully, and placed those expensive ornaments on the display table. At this time, Cheng Zhiyang didn't care about saying much, and got up directly and walked to the display table, carefully looking at these treasures.

Wei Zheng and a few people retreated, but Li Wanyun, who came with him, stayed, and at this time followed Cheng Zhiyang, answering some questions to Cheng Zhiyang from time to time, and if Cheng Zhiyang wanted to buy it, he still needed Li Wanyun to go through the procedures.

"It's really lifelike, haha, with this, you don't have to worry about preparing a birthday gift for the old man next year."

The first thing Cheng Zhiyang looked at was the plate of longevity peaches, carefully observed and fiddled with for a while, and said happily.

Seeing Cheng Zhiyang admiring the ornaments over there, Yang Guang just waited quietly on the side. It seems that it is the reason for trusting Yang Guang, and Cheng Zhiyang did not bring any appraisal experts, so he was also very interested in listening to Li Wanyun's explanation.

"Amour, are you really willing to sell this Kowloon troubled sea? This kind of treasure is more than enough to be placed in the Forbidden City, not to mention the treasure of the town store of the jewelry store! The appearance of such a treasure is absolutely unavoidable, even if you gamble on the stone technology, you dare not say that you can still open such a jade in the future! ”

Cheng Zhiyang stood in front of the Kowloon trouble, turned his head, and asked in disbelief,

"The Forbidden City contacted Lingbao two days ago, saying that it hoped to borrow these treasures for exhibition, but our boss refused, saying that these were for customers and could be traded at any time, and it was inconvenient to lend them for exhibition." Li Wanyun said with a smile on the side,

"Uh, Amour, you didn't leave it for me, did you? Otherwise, if it is used for exhibition in the Forbidden City, the price will definitely increase a lot. ”

"Not really, it's just too lazy to bother. To be honest, I didn't know how such expensive ornaments would sell, so I thought that if I couldn't sell them, I would keep them as signboards. Yang Guang smiled,

He had also mentioned the matter of the Palace Museum to Li Wanyun before, but he didn't expect that the Forbidden City really contacted Lingbao two days ago. However, on the phone, Li Wanyun tentatively mentioned that she could sell it to the Forbidden City at a discount, which was considered to be a dedication, but the Forbidden City didn't seem to hear it.

Later, Yang Guang and Li Wanyun inquired, and only then did they know that the Palace Museum, which had countless national treasures and seemed to be absolutely aristocratic, was actually very poor, and it had not exceeded 10 million for almost ten years. What's more, although the Kowloon Sea is very precious, it has no historical research value, and the Forbidden City has never thought of acquiring it. This made Yang Guang and Li Wanyun laugh and were speechless.

"As for the sale, there is nothing reluctant to do. To be honest, I prefer Hetian jade to jadeite, even if it is Hetian jade, for this kind of large ornament, my interest is not high. In addition to putting it on display, it is not suitable for playing. And the value is high, if you put it at home, it would be fearful.

I'm just a layman, just like the house is full of handicrafts, without any antiques, and in my opinion, these handicrafts are more suitable. I can't appreciate the meaning and beauty of the antiques, and I'm worried that they will be accidentally destroyed. Yang Guang said casually,

"You are really ......" Cheng Zhiyang smiled, and he didn't know how to evaluate Yang Guang's habit, he didn't know how to appreciate and taste or was he cautious and short-sighted?

Cheng Zhiyang looked at Li Wanyun, he believed that even if Yang Guang didn't understand the role of such a precious treasure as a treasure of the town store in enhancing the reputation and influence of the jewelry store, a manager like Li Wanyun would definitely remind Yang Guang. But Yang Guang still doesn't mind selling it, which shows that there is an inside story.

As Cheng Zhiyang, there are many people who use various means to curry favor with him, hoping to get some convenience. But there will definitely be no Yang Guang among them, Cheng Zhiyang knows this very well, through Guò's contacts these days, he already knows Yang Guang's personality and temper very well.

Even if Yang Guang really treats Cheng Zhiyang differently, just because he is willing to sell this Kowloon piece, it will not be because of the power of Cheng Zhiyang's third-generation identity, but only because he regards him as a friend.

"Amour, you don't have to take care of me. While I do like it, it's not so bad that I don't have to. Keeping such ornaments in the store is of great benefit to the development of your company. Cheng Zhiyang said seriously, but noticing the strange smile on Yang Guang's face, as well as Li Wanyun's expression that did not change at all, Cheng Zhiyang knew that his other guesses were more likely.

"Good boy, you don't really have other equally precious ingredients, do you?"

PS: Sorry, it's late. In addition, if you have any problems, you can directly send me a private message. The book review area, hey, the book review area is simply unsightly, I don't know if those authors are useful in advertising, but people like me are very helpless. I deleted it twice, but it was like that again soon after I was done, and I really didn't have the time and patience to do it. So I'm sorry.

It would be nice to wait for a book friend who is willing to be a deputy moderator. I'll send you an invitation directly when the time comes, and I don't have time to refuse it directly.
