Chapter 298: The Charm of Pearls
Liu Li really went to see the sea, and made a decision immediately.
When Yan Juan had a regular meeting, he only knew about his departure. Apart from a bitter smile and a headache, there seems to be no better emotion to express.
"Okay. Let's get busy together. Yan Yixin looked up at Yan Xuan, who was drawing a picture sideways in front of him.
He had a pen in his hand, and she had a pencil. His writing is generous and calm, and the lines she draws are round and graceful.
Yan Wan generously went in and out of his office, of course, after work. Although Yan Yixin often takes some official work home to do. The apartment was not far from the company. But most of the business still has to use the company's resources.
Therefore, Yan Juan moved his drawing board into the president's office.
"Now I understand why the president of the company likes to have an affair with his 'female' secretary, not only because of the fact that the building is close to the water, but the atmosphere is really good." Yan Yixin threw down the pen and 'rubbed' his eyebrows.
The aroma of instant coffee gradually faded.
"Let me make you a cup of smoked bean tea, this tea is better than coffee." Yan Juan took out another empty cup.
"Even Liu Li has changed to drink your tea!" Yan Yixin saw the smoked beans in the cup that were gradually expanding, and said with some amusement: "That kid was more ruthless than me when he drank coffee, but he actually said that he would quit." "He didn't quit either, but he usually drank less, no longer one cup after another." Yan Wan glanced at her: "You are all the same 'hair', two big night owls." Yan Yixin just smiled, in fact, isn't she the same herself? When inspiration comes, it's not uncommon to stay up all night.
"Lin Ze γγγγγγ" He groaned, and when he saw Yan Juan's concerned gaze, he smiled and said, "Recently, I have been staying in Africa, and my relationship with Jenny seems to be getting better and better. "He really likes Jenny. Or is it because the inheritance wants the support of Jenny's mother and daughter? I heard that although his father was seriously ill at the beginning of the year, he has been well maintained recently! "Yan Juan has always 'figured' to understand, is that little inheritance worth Lin Ze's 'spending' so much blood?
Of course, the little inheritance she said is more than just a little bit for most people in the world.
A random piece of mine that was given as a birthday present yielded an eye-catching black diamond. Although, in a way, it was just an accident.
"Everybody's point of view is different, especially when it comes to money." Yan Yixin also agreed with Yan Xuan's point of view, "However, I don't think Lin Ze is like the kind of person who values money as supreme, so I think his behavior is a bit surprising." "You mean, he doesn't care about the inheritance?" Yan Juan was surprised, "Then why is he still with Jenny?" "It's impossible not to care. But it's impossible to care that much. As long as he chooses Yan in the sales of black diamonds, his performance in the next few times is at least not the kind of person who is willing to give everything for money. Yan Yixin frowned, then shook his head, "To be honest, I really can't figure out Lin Ze's thoughts. "It doesn't matter what he thinks, he won't do our business anyway." Yan Juan shrugged his shoulders, "You are still chatting with me, looking at the pile of documents at hand!" Yan Yixin helplessly 'revealed' a smile: "We went out for five days, and when we came back, it was more than five days, right?" Yan Juan was also very dissatisfied with the status quo: "Everything has a priceγγγγγγ is still Liu Li, just drifting away, but looking at the ends of the world, there is no one more comfortable than him. "yes, that's pretty much the deal for today. I'll send you back!" Yan Yixin stood up.
"Send me back?" Yan Xuan's face was a little strange, "Where are you going?" "I'll go back and see Grandpa." Yan Yixin looked sorry, and Yan Juan could only smile reluctantly.
"He's an old man, is he okay?" Yan Yixin nodded: "The injury is not critical, or it is a little older, and the recovery will be very slow." But gradually getting better, you don't have to worry. "I'm not worried about γγγγγγ" Yan Juan said half a sentence and smiled dumbly, "Okay, you go back and have a look, a little way, you don't need to send it back and forth, I can go back myself." "Don't work too hard, you've already drawn a lot of designs since you came back, so you can take a proper rest." "Yes!" Yan Juan stuck out his tongue and grimaced at him, "I'll go back first." Call me when you get home. By the way, for the last organic gemstone conference, I have already designed two sets of ornaments for butterfly 'jade' and ivory. "Inspired by Egypt? I remember that there should be no such material in the ornaments of the Egyptian pharaohs and princesses, right? Yan Yixin asked strangely.
"Of course not, but the inspiration for the design is the same." Yan Juan smiled and said, "Wait for Liu Li to come back and discuss, I can't do it alone!" I love the purity of black and white. "The black one is the butterfly 'jade', and the white one is the ivory.
"Well, with the ammolite that is in the limelight right now, the effect should be good. Although the value of organic gemstones is on the low side, the sales volume is quite large. "Yes." Yan Wan shook his head, "See you tomorrow." Yan Yixin hugged her over, and before she could react, he bowed his head and printed a goodnight 'kiss'.
"Take your handbag and go back, you have time to draw the blueprint." In the last line of the elevator closing, Yan Yixin still did not forget the phrase 'handover'.
"Knowγγγγγγ It's here. Yan Wan Nannan muttered to herself in the closed space.
You know, it's not a promiseγγγγγγ Yan Wan smiled proudly and walked directly through the dark corridor. To her surprise, the lights in Liu Xiangling's office were still on, becoming the bright 'color' in the entire layer of darkness.
"Xiang Ling?" Yan Juan poked his head in, "Why haven't you left yet?" "Didn't you say you wanted to design organic gemstones? I'm making up for it! The hardness of organic gemstones is so low, can this also be considered a gemstone? "A kind of gemstone." Yan Juan pulled out a chair and sat down.
"The hardness is so low, and it is very troublesome to collect and take care of, but I still like gemstones with high hardness and inexpensive prices, such as tourmaline, topaz, etc., how to rub and grind." "No matter how hard the diamond is, you should also pay attention to the collection," Yan Wan smiled, "Even if it is a diamond, when you encounter another diamond, there is a danger of being rubbed and scratched." "However, isn't the special session of organic gemstones a little low-grade? Coral, amber, ivory. Hawksbill...... Even pearls are not precious gemstones. Yan Juan shook his head disapprovingly, "No, you're wrong." A good pearl is also a type of precious gemstone. Princess Diana was very fond of pearls. She has a lot of pearl jewelry, and among the world's most precious gemstones, there are black pearls. "I see a lot of crossings, especially Qing Chuan, often mention Dongzhu, is it in the pearl, Dongzhu is the best?" Liu Xiangling patted the book in her hand, "Doesn't Dongzhu refer to 'Bo' Siwan?" "The East Pearl of the Qing Dynasty refers to the northeast, the north of Heilongjiang, which is now called the North Pearl. In the past, the pearls produced were the best, round and clean, and the diameter of the large ones could reach half an inch. However, due to indiscriminate fishing and 'indiscriminate' mining, it became extinct in the early Qing Dynasty. What we now call Eastern pearls basically refers to natural saltwater pearls or pearls produced in those seas of western Asia. For example, the Red Sea, the Ceylon Sea, and so on. Occasionally, it is used to refer to pearls from Japan. Therefore, Dongzhu does not have a suitable concept, but the quality is relatively good. "West Asia? That should be called Xizhu! "Compared to Europe, the whole of Asia belongs to the East. Western pearls refer specifically to pearls produced in the seas of Western Europe. Yan Juan explained, "There is also Nanzhu, the famous Hepu pearl. "I've heard that there is also a kind of pipa bead called pipa beads, which seems to be very expensive." "Lake Biwa is a lake where freshwater pearls are cultivated, so the pearls produced there are called Biwa pearls, and they are of good quality. However, the pipa beads that those jewelers on the market are talking about are not really produced in Lake Biwa, Japan. Cultured beads with better quality have also become pipa beads. So now there are still a lot of such beads. "Now there are still South Sea Pearls, South China Sea Pearls?" Liu Xiangling continued to ask.
"Actually, these two names refer to the same kind of pearl, which refers to pearls from the South China Sea and adjacent waters, including pearls from Burma, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia and 'Poland' Lynesia." "Isn't there another one called Australian beads?" Liu Xiangling asked curiously.
"That's the pearl from Australia's freshwater lake, which has a strong white luster and is well-known in the international pearl market." The pearls of Bo's Bay are 'milk' white and light green', and there is another pearl called Inar pearl, which is also very beautiful, with gold 'color' and yellow 'color' tones. "I thought pearls were only white and black." Liu Xiangling stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, "And green 'colored' pearls?" I came out and didn't see it. Yan Xuan's eyes widened, "The color of pearls is very rich!" In addition to white and black, there are also pink, orange, yellow, golden, pale green, silver gray, bronzeγγγγγγ In fact, there are not many natural white pearls, and most of the cultured pearls are only a small part of the white 'color'. Most of them use hydrogen peroxide bleach to achieve the purpose of whitening. "It's all artificial!" Liu Xiangling was disappointed: "I thought that pearls were all secretions from mussel shells!" "Even if it's farmed, it's because of foreign bodies invading the mollusks! It's just that one is natural and the other is artificial, so in fact, human beings are 'very' cruel, and in order to wear beautiful pearls, they have to make those mollusks suffer unnecessarily pain. Liu Xiangling did not "accuse" the cruelty of human beings like Yan Juan, but took out a magazine with great interest: "I look at this rose-colored pearl is very beautiful." However, I saw pearl powder grinding at the stall, and those pearls were not very good. "Of course." Yan Wan smiled, "If it looks like a pearl and a 'jade', who is willing to grind it into powder?" Besides, such freshly ground pearl powder cannot be absorbed by the human body, and it needs to be hydrolyzed. "That kind of pearl powder sells very cheaply, and you can buy a big pack for a hundred yuan!" Liu Xiangling stuck out her tongue, "So, I always thought that pearls were also cheap." "Those are all eliminated, and the shape and color can't be made into jewelry, so they are now ground into powder, right?" Yan Qian guessed.
"Well, I don't really like pearls, I feel too rich." Liu Xiangling pointed to the pearl in the model's neck, but still shook her head, "Maybe I'm not suitable to wear it, right?" "Pearls are very adaptable, and if they are ornaments, they can be older. But the single one can be worn at any age, and in most occasions, it will not look dazzling. "I think pearl jewelry looks more graceful." Yan Juan shrugged his shoulders, "That depends on how it is matched." If it's a mink coat, whatever you wear will look graceful, unless you're wearing a glass bead. Like ordinary clothes, it will only look soft. "Ah, with your explanation, I think I'm very optimistic about the prospects of this conference!" "I think there will be quite a market." Yan Juan smiled and nodded.
"That's the pearl in charge? In my opinion, among the organic gemstones, pearls are the most valuable. Liu Xiangling rubbed her hands, "I'll start designing pearls tomorrow, but I'm afraid that the design is not good, and there seems to be no need to design it!" "How could it not be necessary? The length of the beads and the matching of the beads are very particular. Yan Juan was full of interest, and then supported his chin, "To be honest, I am not sure about the design of pearls, and I have never designed them." I like to cut the 'colored' gemstones in pieces. "Then it's good to use ammolite, and our sales are very good." As Mr. Yan said, by the end of the year, it is estimated that these amolis will occupy at least five of the top ten in the sales list. "The price is cheaper, but in fact, it can be whimsical and more pleasing to customers." Yan nodded, "Moreover, our publicity is in place, and the momentum of black diamonds is followed, and the sales are of course good." However, since we are going to do an organic gemstone conference, we should not use ammolite as the main theme this time. "What's that for?" Pearls? "Of course!" Yan Juan nodded affirmatively, "Don't think about anything else except pearls." "There aren't many varieties of organic gemstonesγγγγγγ "We can use pearls as the main feature, coral second, ivory, amber and tortoiseshellγγγγγγ There are also ammolite stones, and there are also six or seven kinds of materials, and it is enough to hold a special press conference. "Of course, just a ammolite has a press conference!" However, Yan Juan was not so optimistic. "However, our Yan family mainly focuses on diamonds and 'colored' gemstones, and pearls are only sold in the main store, so it can be seen that it is not easy to 'get' the best in terms of raw materials." "What are you afraid of, the original matter, Mr. Yan will naturally handle it." Liu Xiangling doesn't take this seriously.
With the support of the company's CEO, are you afraid that you won't be able to get that little raw material?
"Bell Bell Bell γγγγγγ" Yan Xuan's mobile phone interrupted their lively conversation.
