Chapter 180: Take the initiative
After the press conference came to an end, City A really set off a tourmaline fever. The rich fire color makes tourmaline a new product sought after by noble women and white-collar workers. Several tourmaline jewelry are facing a situation of being out of stock.
"I didn't expect sales to be so good."
Although Yan Yixin had made full predictions, he still didn't expect the 'women' fanaticism for bright jewelry.
"yes, I didn't expect that either. I thought that tourmaline would cater to the favor of the working class, but I didn't expect that the 'women' like Zhou Pu were also keen to collect such gemstones. Yan Juan was a little overjoyed.
"Especially blue tourmaline, the entire city A has been out of stock." Yan Yixin smiled bitterly.
Blue tourmaline itself is a relatively rare variety of tourmaline, with a strong and bright pure blue 'color', and the price can even catch up with Brazilian aquamarine. Recently, the price of sapphire produced in Weifang, Shandong Province in City A has been left behind by blue tourmaline.
"So can we get the goods from Russia? The rubellite and blue tourmaline from the Ural mine are of good quality. Yan Juan asked with hope, "I can design two more models, so as not to be carved up by other jewelers." ”
"Unless it has a green 'color' tone, pure blue 'color' tourmaline may not be available in the short term." Yan Yixin is not optimistic about the supply of blue tourmaline.
"It's okay to bring a little bit of green 'color', white-collar workers don't care about that little bit of 'color' difference. If it were me, although the pure blue tourmaline was very beautiful, it would be nice to have a little green tone. What's more, in terms of price, the difference between the two is almost a third! Yan Juan said with certainty, "I will design two models next week and launch them one after another, maintaining the leading position of Yan's tourmaline jewelry in City A and even the province." We can rely on tourmaline, which is not a high-priced jewelry, to make Yan's reputation first. In this way, as long as 'female' people think of tourmaline, they will inevitably mention Yan. ”
"Okay, we still have a little stock of this not-so-pure blue tourmaline, and I'll also ask the Color Gem Association to send a box of goods, no matter what color it is, you'll use them anyway."
Yan Juan nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "Well, now the jadeite market has begun to introduce non-colorless glass species, and it is said that the effect is not good, but it has not yet become popular in City A." If we take the opportunity to launch a 'colorless' tourmaline, this low-priced gemstone can be used by the business to become popular again. ”
"Jadeite is different from tourmaline, and now the old pit species are rare, so I put my brain on the colorless glass species. Some people even preach the saying that connoisseurs don't look at the 'color', in fact, it's just because the green jadeite that is seeded is too little now. Tourmaline, on the other hand, is much more abundant in resources, so the two are different. ”
"What does it matter? Anyway, it is also a tourmaline family, and some novel styles can be designed to attract more levels of customers. Yan Juan said confidently, "Since it is tourmaline, simply take out the black 'color' tourmaline to design a few models, it is not the mainstream, but it can enrich our varieties." ”
Colorless tourmaline, also known as white tourmaline, is a low-grade gemstone like black tourmaline, and Yan's generally does not make this kind of jewelry.
Yan Yixin sighed for a moment: "In this case, the overall value of tourmaline will be brought down, which is probably counterproductive." ”
"Hmm." Yan Juan nodded, "We can not do Kuangda's propaganda and put it in the corner of the counter." In terms of price, of course, it will be lower than other tourmalines, but it should not be ridiculously low. And to control the production of these two types of tourmaline, the emphasis is on the style. It is only used as a supplement to these colored tourmalines, not as a highlight. ”
"Okay, you can do the design thing. I don't want you to be too tired, though. Now that Liu is gone, you can 'hand' over the design tasks for these two types of tourmaline to his assistant. ”
Yan Juan shook his head: "Such a low-grade gem, if I let them design it, I'm afraid it will cause complaints." I'm not Liu Li after all, even if they reluctantly agree, the works they take out must have no aura. It's better to 'hand' it over to Zhang Qing, he has a good foundation and is also very open-minded. ”
"Okay." Yan Yixin agreed.
Zhang Qing really had no complaints, and immediately took over the task of designing black tourmaline.
"If you don't have time, you can let Xiang Ling draw the renderings. Recently, her painting skills have improved a lot, and you have to mention some credit, right? ”
"For these few pieces of jewelry, I can just draw them myself. Recently, Liu Tou has been slying away, you have a lot of things in your hands, and Xiang Ling can help you somewhat. Zhang Qing shook his head and refused, "There are some things, I can't help you, this time the new assistants, although their skills are good, they are all very domineering." ”
Yan Juan smiled bitterly, he didn't say that she could understand it, so she didn't 'hand' over the design of this low-grade gem to Liu Li's assistant. lest they complain and have a conflict with their own side when the time comes, but they are sorry for Liu Li.
After all, he doesn't have a deep background, except for winning the second place in the newcomer award, and then there is an emerging 'appearance' at the press conference, and he really can't get any more shining results on his resume.
Even so, there are still a lot of rumors, saying that she borrowed Yan Yixin's momentum. The implication is just that Yan Yixin pretended to be a public and 'private', and took the opportunity of the press conference to push her out.
Yan Juan 'rubbed' and 'rubbed' the temples with his hands, obviously the sales were there, but those assistants chose to ignore it 'sexually'.
"What I need is better grades to be able to gag their mouths." Yan Juan finished talking to himself, and signed and approved two copies of the design drawings of several assistants over there. There are two more copies, which are pressed down and let Liu Li come back to deal with them.
"Juan, come with me to Kang's house today." When Yan Yixin's call came in, Yan Juan thought it was a routine greeting. was about to make two innocuous jokes, but this sentence swallowed her words fiercely.
"What?" She felt a dull pain in her head, and the pain was even worse.
"You don't have to dress too grandly, go back to work and change into a formal outfit after a while, as long as it's not a T-shirt and denim 'pants'." Yan Yixin seems to be just following the *** generation.
"Oh" Yan Juan agreed, it doesn't sound like the Kang family has a banquet!
As soon as the mind is divided, the work efficiency slows down significantly. It was rare to get off work on time, Liu Xiangling teased her: "I must have a date with Mr. Yan today, usually you have always been active at work, and you are procrastinating after work." ”
Yan Juan just smiled perfunctorily, dating... It seems to count!
When I opened the cabinet, there were two dresses and a cheongsam mixed in the T-shirts. Since it doesn't need to be too grand, cheongsam may be a good choice.
Yan Juan changed her clothes and coiled her hair in the net. Feel free to use one of the twelve golden hairpins, this set is a sample at the press conference, Yan Yixin said that it is the company's reward for designers.
Since there is such a good thing, Yan Wan did not excuse himself too much. The headdress is a natural match for the cheongsam, especially this green 'color', which is a classical design and can replace jadeite.
"You're fast... Yan Yixin walked in and saw that Yan Juan was already sitting on the sofa flipping through magazines.
"Didn't you say you would let me change my clothes after work? Of course I did it to the letter! Yan Xuan's tone was still faintly dissatisfied.
didn't say anything clearly, and she had to think about it for a long time.
"I'll visit after dinner, your outfit is very refreshing." Yan Yixin smiled and reassured.
"Huh? I thought... Yan Juan was taken aback, "But, I didn't cook dinner, I thought I was going to Kang's house to finish eating!" ”
"It's okay, we're eating out." Yan Yixin disagreed, "You've been too tired lately to let you cook every day." ”
"Then what are you going to the Kang family for?" Yan Juan looked at him suspiciously, "Is Kang Xiuxing back again?" It's probably Christmas break, right? ”
"Of course not, but it's also related to Kang Xiuxing." Yan Yixin's face was a little serious, "I found something and was going to show it to Grandpa Kang, at least let him understand what Kang Xiuxing did when he embroidered oranges." ”
"Ahh Yan Juan jumped up, "Have you found evidence?" ”
"It's not too direct evidence, but my purpose is not to arrest Kang Xiuxing and put her in jail, as long as Grandpa Kang knows. I think he'll know how to get his granddaughter to stop. Yan Yixin said lightly, "Let's go, I made an appointment with Grandpa Kang, and it would be rude to go too late." ”
"Since you're going to Kang's house, why are you still here... Serving is slow. Yan Juan walked into the Ziwei Club with Yan Yixin uneasily. ”
"Don't worry, it's still early. Of course, it's not good to go late, and it's not okay to go too early, right? Yan Yixin smiled and ordered a few dishes.
When Yan Juan heard the name of the 'flower', he couldn't help but mutter: "I deliberately named the dish so well, I just didn't want customers to know what ingredients were used." The gold-inlaid 'jade' inlay, only to know when it was brought out was that it was just mushrooms and vegetables. ”
Yan Yixin smiled: "Just eat it twice more and you'll know." ”
The dishes ordered are all Yan Wan's favorite food, and they are not time-consuming, so the serving is not as slow as last time. Although it is a home-cooked side dish, the 'flowers' are very beautiful. The taste is not much different, it is pleasing to the eye, and it has won countless impression points in plain terms.
"What evidence did you get?" Yan Juan couldn't help but ask.
"It's Kang Xiuxing's remittance slip, she had two huge remittances before and after the car accident."
What does this mean? After all, it's your reasoning! Yan Juan was a little disappointed.
"I'm afraid that before Christmas, Kang Xiuxing will come back early, and she is in City A, and she doesn't know what means to use. Although it is not too conclusive evidence, at least Grandpa Kang has a number in his heart, and if he is vigilant, the supervision of Kang Xiuxing will naturally be strict. ”
"Oh." Yan Juan immediately understood, this evidence must have been obtained early in the morning, but he still wanted to have more convincing evidence, so he never told the Kang family.
However, will Kang Xiuxing's grandfather believe this evidence?
