876. Selling favors
Liv went out and returned to the VIP room, she opened the door on her own initiative, and a hearty voice sounded behind the door: "It's rude to ask a lady to open the door for me." ”
Before Vincent said that it was his old friend who wanted to buy jewelry, Qin Shiou guessed whether it would be the second generation of UAE tyrant Afif, this guy has a habit of collecting luxury goods.
As a result, he heard the voice, it was authentic London accent English, it was definitely not Afif, Qin Shiou didn't hear who the voice was, but the friend he knew, there was only one person who could speak in this pretending tone.
A prince too, Prince Harry!
Sure enough, immediately a pony face was revealed, and it was the number one golden king in the eyes of the global green tea, Prince Harry, Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten Windsor.
Henry is tall and tall, because he has just returned from being a soldier, he has a straight body and a tough temperament, if it weren't for a pony face, Qin Shiou felt that he was almost handsome.
Thanks to the traditional pony face of the British royal family, Henry is still inferior to Qin officials in terms of handsomeness.
However, Henry's height is much higher than that of Qin Shiou, and when the two hug, Qin Daguan felt as if his brother was hugging his younger brother.
"Qin, it's been a long time, it's a surprise to see you at Tiffany this time." Henry said enthusiastically, there was no princely frame at all, which was slightly different from the first time they met in the Basque Country.
In the Basque Seaport, Qin Shiou and Henry attended several parties and press conferences together, but the two did not communicate much because their identities were not equal. Prince Harry used Qin Shiou as the captain of a small fishing boat at that time.
The top rich and noble, even if they talk to a beggar, will maintain their demeanor. But that's not because he looks down on the other party, it's just educated.
This. Qin Shiou's status in Henry's eyes is higher, the value of these jewelry is not low, and Vincent has already introduced him to the set of jewelry of the Queen of the Night.
Can you use the Queen of the Night to please your girlfriend, can it be a small role?
The two seemed to be old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, sitting on the adjacent sofa, laughing and starting to talk about football, basketball, charity activities and the current weather.
Vincent and Liv interjected a few words of guidance from time to time, and the group of people who met for the first and second time had a heated conversation.
Qin Daguan couldn't help but despise himself, when did he become so hypocritical? This is not the honest and sunny young man in China.
The conversation quickly shifted to jewelry. Vincent cautiously asked, where did so many black pearls come from.
Qin Shiou said generously: "From my fishing ground, Mr. President, you may not know that my fishing ground has the Gulf of Mexico Warm Current passing by, and then a large black lipped shell field has formed, normally speaking, it can produce 1,000 to 2,000 black pearls every year. ”
"Is that quality?" Liv asked.
"Yes, that's the quality."
If Qin Shiou is filling the black lipped oyster with Seagod energy. It was easy to produce 1,800 in that year, and you must know that the black lipped oyster was breeding.
But he has a way to produce more, not to mention one or two thousand a year, ten thousand is possible. It's just that then the thing is not worth much.
Scarcity is expensive.
The luxury market is so big, 10,000 black pearls and 2,000 black pearls can make him money.
Vincent quickly became interested, and asked with great interest, "Then are you interested in selling pearls to us?" We are willing to give the same price as the auction. ”
This is, of course, a polite remark. Can buying black pearls be the same as going to auction? However, there are fees and taxes to be paid at auctions, which can be saved by selling to Tiffany.
For Qin Shiou. The best idea is to give the Black Pearl to a top luxury store like Tiffany & Co. Then design it into jewelry and take it to auction.
For example, these 1,000 top-quality black pearls are only sold as pearls, and they can be sold for 10 million Canadian dollars at most. But now after designing it into jewelry, and then taking it to the auction, Qin Shiou estimates that it will be no problem to sell it for 50 million.
This is an ideal situation, and there will be a situation of unsuccessful auctions at auctions, because there is no need to spend money to buy luxury goods, and rich people are not wronged.
Qin Shiou had already thought about it, he would not sell the black pearls produced in the fishing ground, nor would he design them all into jewelry and hand them over to the auction, he wanted to find someone to cooperate.
As soon as Vincent mentioned this topic, he said: "In the future, I want to find someone to work with, Mr. President, to create a sub-brand, I think I can gain more." ”
So Vincent can't answer for the time being, what do the top luxury brands sell? Fame and brand, if you open a sub-brand, it is a big deal, and you have to negotiate with the board of directors, although Vincent is the president, she does not dare to accept it.
Prince Harry had been patiently listening to the negotiation between the two sides, and when the topic ended, he said: "I want to buy that set of classical baroque jewelry, Qin, do you think I can have this opportunity?" ”
There are five styles of five sets of jewelry, which are classical style, South American style, Chinese style and two ethnic styles.
Classical style is a relatively old jewelry style in the traditional sense, represented by the 18th century French Baroque style jewelry, this kind of jewelry is mostly liked by European nobles, because it was used exclusively for the courts of Britain, France, Switzerland, Sweden and other courts.
Qin Shiou looked at this set of jewelry in the photo, and there were two hundred and forty-two black pearls used, and the ingredients were precious metals such as gold and platinum.
In this set of jewelry, the main ornament of each piece is a large and gorgeous top black pearl, highlighting the gemstone is heavier than metal, the color contrast is strong, the shape adopts a symmetrical design, the lines are exaggerated into a vine-like shape, the design is rigorous, restrained, the processing technology is delicate and exquisite, and there is a very heavy luxury and precious atmosphere.
Originally, this set of jewelry was prepared for those nobles or big families in Europe, so Prince Harry put forward the intention of buying it, and Qin Shiou said happily: "No problem, Your Highness, it is for people like you." ”
After receiving Qin Shiou's assurance, Prince Harry's pony face smiled proudly: "Actually, I was going to give it to my brother William, you know, he is about to get married, and the bride's jewelry is unsatisfactory." ”
Qin Shiou suddenly realized, really, he remembered watching the news not long ago, saying that the British royal family was about to get married, and Prince William was going to marry the daughter of a middle-class businessman.
"Excuse me, what is the price of this set of jewelry?" Prince Harry asked.
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "I think you must have talked to Vincent before you planned to buy it, he should have said the value of this set of jewelry, right?" What I know is that this set of jewelry is worth nine million dollars. But if you need it, I will give you the price of 8.8 million US dollars, which is the auspicious number of our Chinese and my blessing to your family. (To be continued......)
