Chapter 347: Picking Stones
After playing with Tang Yu all day, when he got home, Su Zhe remembered Xu Ya's affairs.
I don't know how she attended the drinking party, so after thinking about it, I still made a phone call. Hearing the sound of the phone shutting down, Su Zhe didn't pay any attention to it.
In the following days, except for the final exams of the school, Su Zhe ran on both sides of the company and the school. The company is managed by Su Yucheng, who doesn't want her to be too tired, and sometimes she needs to go over to share it for her.
After the final exams, a week after the New Year, the first rain fell in Kuncheng.
The temperature has been low for the past few days, and Su Zhe thought it would be a heavy rainstorm of sleet, but the result was a little different from the prediction. But after a night of precipitation, when I opened the door, the yard was full of snow that hadn't had time to melt.
"Ke'er, maybe I won't come back at noon, the school is on vacation, the company has been letting Yu Cheng manage, this time the jewelry store lacks jadeite raw materials, and I may have to go to the provincial capital in the afternoon. Before going out, Su Zhe explained to Xia Ke.
"Going to the provincial capital?" Xia Ke came out of the kitchen, "That's right, help me go to the usual store to get some flower seeds before you come back." Xia Ke walked into the room and took out a piece of paper, "Originally, the other party promised to send it today, but I received a call at breakfast saying that it snowed heavily last night, and it was difficult to walk on the road, so it is estimated that it will be delivered two days late." ”
Su Zhe took it and glanced at it, he didn't know much about flowers.
There aren't many things, Su Zhe can take a detour over there to get them back, anyway, it's a matter of the way.
In such a cold weather, Su Zhe wrapped himself into a zongzi and went out. The clothes on his body were almost picked by Xia Ke himself, but the scarf around his neck was picked by Su Yucheng, and Su Zhe didn't want to live up to the affection of the two women.
As soon as the snow fell, there was snow everywhere on the road, and many trees were still suffering from the accumulation of snow. If he had a choice, Su Zhe would rather not go out at home, but he had no choice. At this time of year, jadeite raw materials are in short supply, and Zhao Zhongmou has begun to fight back, and the way to fight back is to make a decision.
Fight the price war.
This is an extremely stupid way, but according to the Zhao family's strong background, the most stupid way in the eyes of others is the most effective way.
Zhao Zhongmou's use of this method is very unkind, and he is simply scolded by his peers. However, in order to seize the market, anyone who has deep pockets will choose to do so.
Zhao Zhongmou fought a price war, and the big enterprises were not affected, but the small jewelry stores were miserable. Some time ago, Ningxia was going to play with Tang Enyang, Zhao Zhongmou suddenly came out like this, and the two jewelry stores in Ningxia's family were caught off guard at once.
Ningxia called a few times to ask Su Zhe to discuss the acquisition, but unfortunately he also had a lot of things on hand, Ningxia's home is a little far away from Kuncheng, although it is next door to Tanglin Province, and the fastest plane will take an hour.
Su Zhe mentioned this to Su Yucheng, but according to Su Yucheng's plan, even if he is interested in acquiring it, it will have to wait until at least next year, and at present, even if a small jewelry store wants to free up funds to acquire, it will affect the overall situation.
The main point is that at this time, the New Year has passed, and the Spring Festival is the peak season for jewelry, and the jewelry of Ningxia home is acquired, and if you want to attract customers, you must redecorate. If you can have money to decorate, you can't catch up with the time, so you can only wait for next year to consider this.
In terms of business, Su Zhe has always looked at Su Yucheng as a vision, and she can't change her overall plan because of his sudden plan.
After the car entered Tian'an City, Su Zhe asked: "Sister, the person we are going to meet today who 'eats white cards', his jade wool came in through the Burmese public plate?"
Su Yucheng shook his head slightly, "The number of stones in Myanmar every year can be counted, but in the world, so many people gamble on stones, I don't know how many of our markets are in a year, plus others? ”
Su Zhe knew this truth, just like Su Zhe once learned that there was a kind of foreign wine, and the other party's head office said that it would produce so many bottles in a year, and it sold more than three times the number in China alone. In addition to the domestic country, other countries are not included.
The jadeite rough at the mouth of Jiangjingchangkou has passed through the limited public market, and most of them are after entering the country, and then it is legal to put it out for sale through other ways. If it is not legal, it will be sold secretly.
This is the unspoken rule of the circle, and many things are like this, as long as there is strength, what is not legal can become legal. Jiangjing Changkou did not violate the treaty of the law, but just took this sideline.
"The other party said that there are twenty pieces of jadeite rough, let's go over and take a look today, and if the quality is not bad, buy them all. Su Yucheng continued, "The price of rough stones is getting higher and higher, and even if you have money to buy directly from Myanmar, you have no goods, so you can only buy from other channels." The competition in the jewelry market is getting bigger and bigger, and if it continues like this, I don't know how long I can last. ”
If others heard this, they would definitely think that it was not Su Yucheng himself in front of him, but Su Zhe was no one else, and he could understand Su Yucheng's predicament.
He shook Su Yucheng's hand with his free hand and said, "Don't let yourself carry everything alone, don't forget that you still have me." ”
Su Yucheng nodded at Su Zhe, for so many years, finding a shoulder that he could lean on and feel at ease was more precious than how many contracts he had negotiated.
The place to make an appointment to meet is not in the urban area, and wool sales like this underground form will avoid attracting too many people's attention, and will choose a more remote place.
It's not that people in this circle are not interested, people in this circle will introduce the past through other acquaintances.
When Su Zhe and Su Yucheng arrived at their destination, they saw a lot of cars side by side outside, and the price of each car was probably not lower than the BMW he drove.
It's just that in front of the car is an iron frame shed, which covers a lot of area, but it feels like a warehouse for stacking goods.
Su Zhe and the two stepped forward, and two people stepped forward to stop them.
Inform the situation and the name of the introducer, and search behind him with an instrument before releasing him.
"Entering here is like entering a heavy place, it is a code and a body search, I wonder if the people in the meeting are holding machine guns and guarding. ”
Su Yucheng pursed his lips and smiled: "This is also no way, after all, it is not a legal sale, although there are dots on it, to avoid other accidents, you have to be cautious." ”
Entering the iron frame shed, it looked like it was divided into several warehouses from the outside, but I didn't expect to see it in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. It's just that the doorway is at least four hundred meters away from the innermost. Although it is a simple iron frame shed, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to build it like this.
Stones can be found everywhere inside, but there are a few improvised mobile houses in the innermost corners, presumably inhabited by the people in charge of guarding the place. In the far north there are some goods piled up, I don't know what they are, and maybe they also serve as temporary warehouses when there are no stones to sell.
When they arrived, there were already quite a few people inside. There are more than a dozen cars outside, and it seems that there are quite a few competitors today.
Not long after entering, a middle-aged man wearing a thick military coat and black boots walked over with a sigh of breath and rubbing his hands.
"Mr. Su, you are here. ”
Su Yucheng nodded slightly, "What about the jade wool we want?"
The middle-aged man in a military coat pointed to the east and said, "Your goods are in front, I'll take you there - those are jewelers from all over the world, usually there are not so many people, but last night in the middle of the night a batch of wool came, and was about to release the news, I didn't expect them to receive the wind so early, and they rushed over early in the morning." ”
The latter words seemed to be explaining, and it seemed to be reminding Su Yucheng that in addition to the prepared wool, there were also good goods.
Walking in front of a pile of stones, Su Yucheng glanced at Su Zhe's face and understood what she meant, Su Zhe took it down and picked up a relatively small one.
There are more than 20 pieces of wool, most of which are clear goods, and there are only two pieces of covered goods. After all, it was smuggled in, and it was bad luck to be too large, so it had to be cut into small pieces and mixed with other stones and transported over.
Su Zhe looked at the piece of wool in his hand carefully for a while, and shook his head slightly at Su Yucheng. Although he didn't use the perspective ability, based on the experience he had accumulated over time, the piece of wool in his hand was not satisfactory. The shell is a yellow salt sofa, but it has a lot of thin locks. This kind of gambling stone has never been favored, unless it is the direction of the python belt and the pine flower is more optimistic, otherwise not many people have that courage.
In order to save time, Su Zhe directly used his perspective ability to scan through the pieces one by one. In the end, ten of the twenty stones were picked out and could barely be used, two of them, I don't know if there are two kinds of jadeite coexisting in them, Su Zhe didn't need to look and see, what would happen to the other kind of jadeite.
In the first layer of the perspective eye, there is a piece of violet, which may not be considered high-end, but should be on the upper side. However, this kind of colored jadeite has been very popular in the market in the past two years, and the price of processing into jewelry can rise.
"Manager Luo, apart from these words, are there any other options?" asked Su Yucheng.
The middle-aged man in the military coat expected that Su Yucheng would not take a look at it all, pointed to the wool placed in the row on the right side and said: "You can go over there to see if there is a suitable one, but Mr. Su, I explained in advance that those prices may be slightly higher, and you are also the opener, so you should know that there may be fluctuations in prices." ”
Su Yucheng didn't answer, and went straight over there.
There are many kinds of jadeite wool, but everyone's starting point for doing business is the same.
In the case of the shortage of jadeite raw materials, it is not a qualified businessman to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Walking in front of the row of wool and looking down, Su Yucheng asked in a low voice: "Xiaozhe, which ones are better?" Su Yucheng is very good at running the company, and his ability to look at gambling stones has never been high.
Today, it was just the two of them who came over, and the two masters who would have brought them to the scene before now believe in Su Zhe's ability even more.
Su Zhe glanced at it, and was about to reply, but when he looked up, he saw a guy with a narrow road, although Su Zhe knew that it was natural for him to appear here.
