Chapter 152: Love at First Sight
However, Yan Yixin rarely sold a pass, and refused to say no matter how Yan Juan asked.
"What the hell is tourmaline? Purple 'colored'? I don't think the purple 'color' with gold looks good, but it would be good with silver. Or is it a ...... without 'color'" Yan Juan carried forward the 'spirit' of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, and continued to ask.
"You'll find out in the evening, Jason will send someone to bring a sample. If you're inspired, he can offer this tourmaline as much as possible. Yan Yixin refused to speak, with a mysterious smile.
"What the hell is it......" Yan Wan muttered dissatisfiedly.
Yan Yixin explained: "It's not that I don't want to kill you, but the 'color' of this tourmaline is really special." And it was not discovered for a long time, about 20 years or so, and it was discovered in the Brazilian state of ParaΓba, so it is called ParaΓba tourmaline. β
"What kind of 'color'? Why do you say that it is a tourmaline variety that is independent of all colors? Yan Juan still couldn't understand, "The natural world is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, plus white and black!" β
"You know when you see it." Yan Yixin was still very vague, and Yan Juan's curiosity suddenly reached an unprecedented height.
"Brazil? Isn't your relationship with Brazil very good? Yan Juan raised another question.
"Although the relationship is good, we Chinese may not know about this kind of tourmaline." This time, I want to bring it into the whole set, and maybe this tourmaline will become famous for it. If the demand is high, I can order directly from Brazil without going through Jason. However, I think Jason will definitely put this on our side, and he will have a firm grip on the source of gemstones. After all, his identity is there, and it is easier to get the goods. β
When he stayed in the museum again in the afternoon, Yan Xuan's mind was a little restless. Looking at it, I have already begun to reverie about the tourmaline touted by Yan Yixin, what kind of grinding power does it have?
"Tired?" Yan Runxin saw that she was not in a state and proposed to go back earlier.
Although he knew that the museum would close at 8 p.m., Yan Wanji hung the so-called Paraiba tourmaline. So after reading the rest of the European Pavilion in a hurry, he walked to the hotel with Yan Yixin.
Dinner was served at the Petro Hotel on West 58th Street, a richly decorated restaurant with a variety of branded caviar. Yan Juan felt embarrassed that she didn't have a particular preference for caviar. I don't think caviar is even as comfortable as her fried poached eggs, despite the eye-popping price.
Since the release of the film, the yellow taxi has become a symbol of New York City. Although the shiitake mushrooms are not far away, it still takes a lot of time to hug the 'traffic'. Yan Juan thought very depressedly, maybe she would be able to 'deliver' the car on the 11th Road, and she would almost be able to arrive at this time.
The fare is a lot of money, plus a tip of at least 15 percent.
"Why don't I change my career to become a taxi driver......" Yan Wan muttered, making Yan Yixin laugh dumbly.
"Don't worry, we're back early, Jason hasn't arrived yet!"
Yan Juan returned to the room, and made coffee in a habitual 'sexual' way, one cup per person. Yan Runxin's no sugar, while hers even has a lot of sugar added to 'milk' and 'essence'.
"What kind of color is it, is it more precious than canary tourmaline?"
"It's not necessarily expensive, but it hasn't appeared in our country." Yan Yixin explained with a smile, "You can see that kind of 'color', it's very special." β
"What's so special?"
Yan Yixin groaned: "You will only understand if you see it with your own eyes." β
Is it so mysterious? Yan Juan couldn't help but look forward to it, but Jason seemed to be very calm and late. If it weren't for the politeness of concern, Yan Juan even thought of snatching his briefcase.
Who says Americans are efficient? Yan Juan sat aside calmly, listening to Senjie and Yan Yixin chattering for a long time, but they didn't get down to business. Although Senjie is well-informed, Yan Runxin is not a son-in-law who stays at home. So when it comes to the prospect of colored gemstones, the two seem to have endless topics to talk about.
Yan Juan could only continue to wait impatiently, and finally ended the whimsical chatter and began to negotiate the contract again. Of course, this is official, and Yan Juan has no reason to cross it. However, the terms of the contract are detailed to the supplementary part, and there are signs of further extension.
"Today I brought a sample of Paraiba tourmaline, and it's a color that can easily make people fall in love at first sight. As long as it is launched, there should be a sizable market. At present, the demand in the American market is not very large, and most of it is supplied to Europe. Jason seemed to hear Yan Xuan's pleading, and finally frustrated the assistant behind him, and took out a paper bag from his briefcase.
Yan Juan suddenly subconsciously held her breath, staring at the paper bag slowly opening for a moment.
What kind of blue is this...... Yan Juan suddenly understood why Yan Runxin insisted on seeing it with her own eyes. Hardly anyone can describe the beauty of this electric blue 'color'.
Its blue-green 'color' tone is very dazzling, not only bright and abnormal, but also electric. For a moment, Yan Juan even felt that she fell in love with the special color of this gemstone.
"Some people describe this kind of 'color' as if it was struck by lightning, and it has a kind of first love 'color'." Jason said with a smile.
"Yes, yes......" Yan Juan completely agreed with this statement and muttered, "The price of this tourmaline should be very expensive, right?" β
"A single carat sells for about $20,000 to $30,000, but of course, if there's a slight flaw, the price drops dramatically. Maybe even a carat in a few thousand dollars. β
Yan Juan almost jumped up, such an expensive tourmaline, put in the twelve gold hairpins, there are really not many people who can afford a full set.
"The current output is still maintained at about a few tens of carats per month, so the price has been high." Jason explains, "Unless a new source is discovered, the price of this tourmaline will continue to climb." β
"What's more, the Europeans' love for it laid the foundation almost at a glance. Therefore, this monthly output is not enough to supply one Europe. Yan Runxin seems to be very clear about the market.
"It's too expensive......" Yan Qian sighed.
Yan Yixin said with a smile: "Of course, we have to use the whole piece of jewelry for a single piece of jewelry, and you are responsible for designing this." The small gems cut and then used in the set of the twelve hairpins of Jinling, the cost will be reduced a lot. β
Yan Juan nodded: "Then I have to calculate the material of this tourmaline first, and then I can cut it by hand!" She frowned, feeling a little heavy on her shoulders.
But the color of this tourmaline is really unbearable. How could Yan Juan let it go gently? Rubbing his fingers against the surface of the tourmaline, Yan Juan had already gotten along with several basic carvings in his head.
In fact, this tourmaline itself is not very big, Yan Juan quickly calculated in his heart, and the finished product is only about one carat.
Then, you can make a pendant, or make a ring face.
She believes that there is no need to worry about the sales of this tourmaline, as long as she shows it to Zhou Pu, it is impossible for it to fall into the hands of others. The family is rich, and he is a figure of the Zhou family's real power, and he has a fanatical love for jewelry, which is only tens of thousands of dollars, for Zhou Pu, he doesn't even need to 'spend' more time to think about it.
Then the remaining small particles can be used on the hairpin. Such a look is unforgettable.
Yan Wan stared at the tourmaline intently, and almost calculated the weight that could be used on the hairpin, which was only a few points.
"If it can be supplied in large quantities......" Yan Yixin smiled and held the wine glass on his feet, which seemed to be an indispensable prop on a man's occasion.
"I can't do a lot of it, but I can guarantee that a portion of Paraiba tourmaline will be available to you every year." Senjie smiled meaningfully.
"What about the conditions?" Yan Yixin was silent.
No one is going to do a loss-making business, especially a 'shrewd' businessman like Jason.
"This kind of jewelry, I hope to be able to 'hand' over to Yan Juan to design. Moreover, all products are preemptively released in the United States. β
Yan Yixin was silent, all the products were sold in the United States first, judging from the rarity of this tourmaline, I am afraid that even the residue will not be left in the domestic market. That's not what he had in mind.
Yan Juan's attention was attracted by the silent atmosphere of the two people, but he still didn't understand the order of release, what was the relationship. Even if it is a slow step, the United States and China are separated by the Pacific Ocean!
"If we can't make the same two, then we'll have to supply them all to Mr. Jason." Yan Runxin looked at Yan Xuan's somewhat ignorant expression and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I see!" Yan Wan suddenly, his eyes rolled slightly, but he had an idea in his heart, "Anyway, the designer is me...... No matter how big the tourmaline is, I can just cut it in half? β
Yan Yixin smiled dumbly and shook his head: "This kind of tourmaline large particles are rare in itself, are you willing to really cut it into two?" Although he seemed to be talking and laughing with Yan Juan, his eyes were looking at Senjie.
Jason laughed, "Well, I don't ask for all the jewelry to be 'handed over' to me for early sale. β
Yan Yixin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what objections are there?" With such a decision, all the jewelry was sold at the same time. If there is only one, each takes what it needs. β
"Okay." Jason nodded cheerfully in agreement.
Yan Juan was a little surprised, but when she saw that the two were talking happily in the following time, she was very silent with interest. It wasn't until it was delivered to Jason that she quietly asked, "Isn't he afraid that we will give him bad works?" β
"The raw materials are stuck in his hands, what is he afraid of?" Yan Yixin explained lightly, but Yan Juan still saw the excitement in his face.
"Is this a good opportunity?" She was dazed.
"Of course, the simultaneous release is a good opportunity for Yan's products to enter the United States and even the American market. Juan, you've done a great job this time! β
Yan was also very happy: "As long as I can help you, I am very satisfied!" β
"1 carat peridot is 450 yuan, 1 carat rosΓ© tourmaline is about 1000 yuan", is this the price of Xidan Jewelry City? It doesn't sound expensive, but you can still bargain, I really want to go to Beijing to see it...... Whining. Is baby Annie in Canada? There are so many gems in North America!
