Xu Qing really doesn't understand much.

Because he has no interest in diamonds, this thing has no value in his eyes, it is beautiful?

The beauty of diamonds lies in the cutting process, and if the diamond cutting process is applied to most jewelry, the final visual effect will only be better, not worse.

There is only one reason why diamonds have become the first choice for women to buy jewelry - the will of capital.

Diamonds are in large quantities, have a certain degree of uniqueness, and are available in several colors, making them excellent targets for hype.

Just like some painters in the ancient calligraphy and painting market, the level of those painters is actually average, but why is the market so hot? Because the artist's works are extant in large quantities, as long as the hype is successful, he can make more profits.

On the contrary, although the level of some painters is very high, because the number of works in the world is small, even if they are hyped, there is not much room for profit, so the price is not high.

In a word, people make a whole big plate, not a certain piece of cake on the plate, when you are thinking about what position of the cake is more delicious in the plate, but you don't know that even the plate with the table is held by the capital, as long as you are on the table, you are the target of harvesting.

Therefore, for the capital of speculating diamonds, the bigger the plate, the better, as long as the scale is large enough, the price is a trivial matter, even if one day the price of natural diamonds falls to the point that it is cheaper than synthetic diamonds, people still do not lose money, because the diamond itself does not cost much and the stock is huge, as long as there are still people willing to buy it, there is no problem.

One of the most important criteria for measuring the value of a collectible is the recycling price.

Antiques, as long as they are genuine, the recycling price is still around the market price, and it will appreciate if it is good, and even the appreciation is quite high.

Gold, needless to say, the things that go with the market, as long as it is pure gold, it will not lose money anyway, if it is gold jewelry, the production process is too poor, it will only lose a little manual cost, if the gold has appreciation, a little appreciation, the manual cost can also be smoothed out.

In addition, the price of second-hand housing is also roughly the same, and the price is not much worse than that of new housing.

Only the value retention rate of diamond jewelry, which is so popular that almost everyone has a piece, is extremely low, and the price of a newly bought diamond ring for 30,000 yuan, even if it has not been worn, has fallen by two-thirds from the moment of payment.

This retention rate is too telling.

Originally, diamonds, which are extremely popular gemstones, should have a very high retention rate, because everyone needs them, almost just needs, even if they are second-hand, they don't have to worry about selling.

But the reality is the opposite, such a popular thing is the least valuable.

What does it mean?

It shows that the seller has not thought about recycling at all, and will complete the task by selling it to you, which is completely different from the nature of antiques, art, real estate, and gold, which are one-time things.

Gemstones, disposable.

If the antique is also a one-time thing, the value retention rate is only 30% after being sold, and the antique collection industry dies instantly.

Why can't the diamond industry die?

Because a huge amount of diamonds are mined every day, they are frantically shipped every day, and they are using a huge shipment market to maintain the prosperity of this market.

This kind of trick, in fact, the old rivers and lakes understand, it is a ball game.

It's just that the diamond game is very big, and it has spread all over the world.

Moreover, this bureau is now not controlled by anyone, and the people who did this bureau at the beginning probably did not expect to be so big as it is now.

Anyone who understands understands.

However, there is nothing that can be done, people a hundred years ago were powerless, and people are even more powerless now, because this is a marketing era, as long as marketing can keep up, this situation will never be broken.

Whoever gets married and doesn't buy a diamond ring will be laughed at when he goes out.

So much so that gold jewelry has become synonymous with cheesiness.

Just kidding, gold is much more expensive than diamond gold, and the properties are perfect in all aspects.

Therefore, because of this, Xu Qing is not interested in diamonds at all.

But Li Xiaomi said this, he also had to give face, took the necklace and took a look, it was indeed a colored diamond, small, wheat grain-shaped, the fire was very beautiful, and the appearance was also pleasing.

Well, this kind of is still a bit valuable, after all, colored diamonds are really rare.

The rarity swings there, and it's not the same thing as an ordinary transparent diamond.

Ordinary diamonds retain only 30% or less of their value, but colored diamonds, colored diamonds and diamonds with large carats have a certain amount of value.

To put it bluntly, it still depends on the quality and condition, the same is a diamond, small and large, transparent and colorful, it is not a kind of thing, and the price itself is very different.

The one in Li Xiaomi's hand is a relatively high-grade diamond, which is blue in color, and the color is quite strong.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing directly put it on Li Xiaomi: "I've sent it to you." ”

Li Xiaomi swallowed nervously: "Uncle Xiao, do you know how much this chain is worth?" ”

"How much?"

"At least 800,000."

800,000?

Not bad.

In the diamond, it is indeed an entry-level high-end product, and the value retention rate should be able to reach seventy, which has a certain collection value.

So he nodded: "800,000 is 800,000, I really sent you if I said I would send you, don't make a fuss, I'm not your master, they are poor, and I'm rich." ”

"But, but ......"

"Okay, don't grind."

"Can you talk to the little aunt?"

"Yes, I have a better one for them."

"Really?" Li Xiaomi's gossip came up instantly: "Uncle Xiaoshi, what did you send?" ”

"A set of gold jewelry."

"Golden? It's so vulgar. ”

Xu Qing opened the album directly: "Is it vulgar?" ”

Li Xiaomi probe saw the photo of Liu Lin wearing a complete set of gold jewelry, and was instantly stunned: "Yellow, gold can be so beautiful?" ”

"What are you kidding, gold is very beautiful, but some people's craftsmanship is not good, it is not beautiful, and gold is too expensive, ordinary people can't afford to play, buy a bracelet and only dare to buy an empty shell with hardened processing with modern technology, and dare not buy solid, so don't laugh at the vulgarity of people wearing gold, you laugh at other people's customs, and people laugh at you for being poor."

Li Xiaomi opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.

Because that's the truth.

Originally, jewelry is a matter of personal preference, and you can buy whatever you like, which is normal, and there is no conflict between liking gold and liking diamonds.

However, it would be disgusting if some businesses couldn't stand it from stepping on one by one in the process of marketing and directly brainwashing people.

Xu Qing patted Li Xiaomi's head: "Okay, it's not early, hurry back to sleep, go, I'll send you." ”

"Oh," Li Xiaomi nodded aggrievedly, and even lost the joy of receiving a new gift.

However, after arriving at the door, he still happily gave Xu Qing a big hug: "Uncle Xiao, thank you." ”
