Chapter 411 (1/2)
”Oh, boss Wang, you are much younger than I thought.” a sweet lipped female jewelry merchant came forward with a smile, while InAs came forward with a purple scarf unique to women in Xinjiang, with a smile in her eyes.
”Wang Yong, you're lying.”
”InAs, I haven't seen you for a long time. I almost didn't recognize you. Ha ha.” I smiled and greeted InAs. InAs politely shook hands with me and avahayi, and then invited us to the hotel for a detailed discussion.
On the way, I saw many buildings similar to the Islamic church. The dome columns and arched door openings are neat in color. They are basically green or brown. The most eye-catching is the tower shaped circular buildings of the Islamic church. The round towers stand one by one. The top is an umbrella shaped arc, and the bottom is a column. How do you look, how do you look like a unique place for men
Looking at the church buildings outside, I don't know how, I suddenly remembered the most impressive thing about Islam in the 21st century, that is, Islam seems to advocate polygamy
I don't know how to think about this. It's estimated that the feeding cells in my brain are overflowing again.
Of course, I don't know whether Xiaobai and female wolf head have such ideas except me.
Xinjiang hotels in women's world are quite unique. Even hotels are similar to churches. The style is basically the same, but the scale is slightly small. It seems that women here pay great attention to religious beliefs.
After asking InAs, I learned that in Xinjiang, almost all ethnic minorities except the Han nationality believe in Islam. Since childhood, they will accept Islam and become devout Islamists.
After learning about the ethnic customs in Xinjiang, I entered the negotiation stage with those jewelry merchants.
The main negotiation content is about the development and collection of Hotan jade. There are many large and small jewelry companies and jewelry associations in Xinjiang. The three jewelers I negotiated with this time are all from medium-sized Jewelry Companies in Xinjiang, called Talon company. It is a small jewelry company. It has not been a long time to start the development of gemstones, just a few years.
In the jewelry business, the water is very deep. But the core is two points. One point is that you want to find good gemstones. Second, you need to be able to find people who buy gemstones. Gemstones are scarce resources and an absolute seller's market. It doesn't mean that rich people will sell them to you. People want to test your strength and credit, which takes time to accumulate. The jewelry circle has a distribution system all over the world. For example, we are busy with a case (list) of 6.5 carat color diamonds these two days. You are required to sell them in a few days, which is testing your ability. If you sell it, you can get closer to the core circle. The closer you get, the more precious stones you can't see in the market.
Xiuyan Jade in Liaoning, Hotan jade and aquamarine in Xinjiang, Nanfang jade in Guangdong, Dushan jade in Nanyang, Henan, Shoushan stone in Fujian, Qingtian stone and chicken blood stone in Zhejiang, turquoise in Hubei, coal jade in Fushun, amber and agate in Inner Mongolia are all world-famous jewelry. Now of course I am a newcomer in this circle, but my emerald mine in Yunnan is not a small mine, It is the largest emerald mine discovered in decades.
Of course, my gem sales are only average. There are many more successful gem merchants above my head.
When I came to Xinjiang this time, on the one hand, I talked with these GEM companies about buying gem market.
There are generally two types of GEM companies like me. One is to buy gems from local gem merchants in Xinjiang. The other is to spontaneously hire mining teams, buy excavation vehicles, hire appraisal experts, apply for mining rights at the Xinjiang Department of land and resources, and then go to the excavation site to mine. During this period, all costs and risks should be borne by myself.
In contrast, the latter's profit is much greater than the former, but the risk is also greater. If you can't find gemstones, you have to bear a series of risk losses yourself. However, once a large gem mine can be excavated, it can also make a lot of profits.
My final plan is to mine by myself while cooperating with these jewelers. When I don't have my own ore source, I will first buy gemstones from these jewelers. When I find my own ore source, I can also buy the precious stones I lack from these jewelers according to the types of ore excavated. In other words, this is a mutually beneficial process.
The whole negotiation process was very smooth. I lack contacts and understanding of Xinjiang's terrain and resources, so I made a little concession on some specific small projects, so everyone was happy.
”Boss Wang, it's really nice to talk with you. I haven't seen such a forthright person like you for a long time.”
”Oh, I'm happy, too.”
The female jewelers of xiangminzui smiled and shook hands with me, ending the two-hour jewelry negotiation with me, and I also smiled and shook hands with them. Of course, Xiaobai also shook hands with the jewelers, but from beginning to end, Xiaobai didn't know the content of our negotiation. A lot of data and professional materials had already made her dizzy. In fact, I'm almost the same. Fortunately, avaha Yi knows more about this, and I'm a lot easier.
