Golden Fishery
v2 Chapter 1643: .Business is business
Qin Shiou snapped his fingers again, pretending to be a bit too much today, slightly drunk.
Nelson quickly opened his black suitcase. Inside were the same black pearls, arranged in rows according to their sizes. They looked orderly, exuding folds of brilliance, and blinded the three Vincents.
Seeing so many black pearls, Vincent was not pleased, but his expression became a little ugly. He said: "Qin, I saw you as a little brother. Isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?"
Black pearls are jewellery, a lot of which can be produced each year, but Qin Shiou provides top-quality black pearls, which are high-end luxury jewellery. Only some of them can be produced in Tahiti, Australia, and they are expensive.
And even for ordinary wild black pearls, there are very few places in the world that can be produced. Strictly speaking, there are only two. One is the island of Tahiti in the Polynesian Islands, which produces 95% of the world’s black pearls; the other is the Cook Islands. The output of Penrin Island and Majuhiki Island accounted for 4% of the total output, and the output of other regions was less than 1%.
This is a natural black pearl. Now more black pearls in the world are cultured black pearls. Thirty years ago, the French Polynesian Islands developed black pearl culture technology. However, the cultivated black pearls are nucleated black pearls, and their color and roundness are not as good as natural black pearls. So even in 1976, the Gemological Institute of America recognized that cultured black pearls produced in Tahiti are'a kind of cultured pearls with natural colors', but in the high-end luxury market, cultured pearls are not comparable to wild pearls. .
What is the difference between ? That is the feeling. The most important thing about these wild black pearls provided by Qin Shiou is that its color is mysterious. This is a kind of black that can make people immersed in it, and the black pearl that is cultivated has a dull color, and the color is even more ugly after being soaked in sweat for a long time.
Luxury jewelry such as wild black pearls has specific market relevance. Only those people can buy them, and it is impossible to face the whole society because of value. According to the laws of market supply and marketing, the scarcity is more expensive, and the smaller the number of high-quality black pearls, the higher the price. If it is too much, it is worthless.
At first, the three Vincents offered Qin Shiou’s price based on the fact that one hundred high-quality black pearls entered the American upper class. If he knew from the beginning that he had two thousand such high-quality black pearls, then Vincent would have to cut at least. Half the price!
Qin Shiou knows this, but business is business. Auerbach and the Bruce couple have repeatedly emphasized this business rule to him. Favor and business should not be mixed, otherwise it will be him who suffers.
So. When he sold these black pearls, he played a little trick. Instead of showing all the black pearls, he first took out a hundred to set the price.
It cannot be said that he pitted Vincent. First of all, these black pearls are absolutely worth the price; secondly, Vincent started to price him a bit low, squeezing the value of these black pearls from him. Again, business is business. Regardless of their personal education, they are now doing business.
This incident is a bit similar to when Qin Shiou and Butler pitted Kota Tezuka together. They first sold a bluefin tuna with excellent meat quality to him at a high price, and then waited for Kota Tezuka to buy it and bring it back to Tokyo for a big fight. Butler passed by with three bluefin tuna of the same quality.
At the beginning of last year, this incident was a bit miserable for Takatsuka Tsutsuka’s true heart. Since then, Kiyomura Co., Ltd. has been a little restless, and the bluefin tuna he has accompanied by too much money.
However. Qin Shiou naturally cannot treat Vincent like Tezuka Kota. He has a solution, first ask: "Don't worry, Mr. Tiffany, I want to ask. What are you going to do with the black pearls?"
Vincent said: "Make jewelry, big ones make headwear, necklaces or other jewelry. Small ones make earrings, lip beads and other jewelry."
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "So, why are you in a hurry? Although I still have two thousand black pearls in my hand, there is no conflict with you. Your plan is to disperse the black pearls. Pearls are made into sets of jewelry, and each set uses at least one hundred black pearls!"
Vincent asked: "You mean, you are not going to sell these black pearls?"
Qin Shiou nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. I won't sell them to you or to other shops. I hope you will make classic jewelry similar to the Queen of the Night. I will put them in the auction shop. Dispose of it here."
This is his first thought. In fact, he has another thought, but he can't say it now, it depends on what Vincent meant.
Vincent knows the value of these black pearls. He wants to get it in his pocket, and with Tiffany's strength, there is no financial pressure to buy all the black pearls. As long as he has more than two thousand top-quality black pearls, he believes that Tiffany will no longer have to purchase black pearls in the next two years.
Even, they can not purchase blue diamonds, pink diamonds, emeralds and other types of super jewellery in the past two years. Instead, they can use these top-quality black pearls as the market and do a variety of black pearl topics. They will definitely be able to achieve certain success in this regard.
The reason for this confidence is that Vincent knows that the value of black pearls has not yet been fully unearthed. You must know that just fifty years ago, black pearls were still an ordinary ornament that is not written. If it weren't for the ‘Black Pearl King’ Salvador-Asal, black pearls still have little value today.
Speaking of black pearls, we have to talk about it from the beginning of World War II. At that time, there was a big diamond merchant in Italy named James Asal. He fled from Europe to Cuba in order to take refuge.
There, he found a way to make a living, and the US military needed waterproof watches. Assal obtained a large number of high-quality waterproof watches through his relationship in the Swiss jewelry industry, so he made a lot of money.
But after World War II, the U.S. military stopped buying waterproof watches, and Assal’s business had done well. At this time, there were still thousands of Swiss watches in stock, and the Swiss waterproof watches he got were all high-end products at a cost price. It's also very tall, he can't smash it in his hands.
Then things started to turn around. The Japanese needed watches at that time, but they didn't have money, but they had pearls. Until now, Japan is also a major producer of pearls, but they produce white pearls.
Soon, James-Asal and his son started a barter trade, trading Swiss watches for Japanese pearls. Business was very prosperous, and it didn't take long for his son Salvador Asal to be called the "Pearl King".
But at that time, the Ansar family still manipulated the white pearl business, and the black pearl was still a black glass ball, which appeared after the turn of events. (To be continued~^~)
