Qin Shiou snapped his fingers again. He was a bit pretentious today and was slightly tipsy.
Nelson quickly opened his black suitcase. Inside were the same black pearls, arranged according to size. They looked orderly and exuded the glory of folds, which blinded Vincent and the other three.
Seeing so many black pearls, Vincent was not happy, but his expression became a little ugly. He said: "Qin, I treat you as a little brother. Isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?"
Black pearls are jewelry, and a lot of them are produced every year. However, Qin Shiou provides top-grade black pearls, which are high-end luxury jewelry. Only Tahiti, Australia, can produce some, and they are expensive.
And even ordinary wild black pearls can be produced in very few places in the world. Strictly speaking, there are only two. One is Tahiti in the Polynesian Islands, which produces 95% of the world's black pearls; the other is the Cook Islands. The output of Penryn Island and Majuhiki Island accounts for 4% of the total output, and the output of other areas is less than 1%.
This is a natural black pearl. Now more black pearls in the world are cultured black pearls. Thirty years ago, French Polynesia developed black pearl cultivation technology. However, cultured 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 cultured black pearls from Tahiti as 'a cultured pearl with a natural color', but in the high-end luxury market, cultured pearls are simply incomparable to wild pearls. .
What is the difference between ? That's the feeling. The most important thing about these wild black pearls provided by Qin Shiou is that its color has a sense of mystery. It is a black that can make people immerse themselves in. However, the color of cultured black pearls is dull and will not last for a long time. After being soaked with sweat, the color becomes even more ugly.
Luxury jewelry such as wild black pearls has a specific market target. Only those people can buy them. The value determines that it cannot be available to the whole society. According to the law of market supply and marketing, things are rare and expensive. The fewer the number of high-quality black pearls, the higher the price. If there are too many, they are worthless.
At first, the price quoted by Vincent and the others to Qin Shiou was based on the price of one hundred high-quality black pearls entering the upper class of the United States. If they knew from the beginning that he had two thousand such high-quality black pearls, Vincent would have to at least cut them off. Half the price!
Qin Shiou knows this, but business is business. Auerbach and the Bruces have repeatedly emphasized this business rule to him. Favor and business cannot be mixed, otherwise he will definitely suffer.
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 cheated Vincent. First of all, these black pearls were definitely worthy of the price. Secondly, the price Vincent gave him was a bit low at first, squeezing the value of these black pearls from him. Again, Business is business. Regardless of their personal training, they are now talking about business.
This incident is somewhat similar to when Qin Shiou and Butler tricked Tezuka Kouta together. They first sold him a bluefin tuna with excellent meat quality at a high price, and then waited for Tezuka Kouta to buy it and bring it back to Tokyo to prepare for a big fight. Butler went over with three more bluefin tuna of the same quality.
At the beginning of last year, this incident was a bit embarrassing for Tezuka Kota. Since then, Kiyomura Co., Ltd. has been in a state of depression. He paid too much for the bluefin tuna.
However, Qin Shiou naturally couldn't treat Vincent like he treated Tezuka Kota. He had a solution. He first asked: "Don't worry, Mr. Tiffany, I want to ask, what are you going to do with these black pearls?"
Vincent said: "Made into jewelry, the large ones can be used as headdresses, necklaces or other jewelry, and the small ones can be used as earrings, lip beads and other jewelry."
Qin Shiou laughed and said: "So, why are you anxious? Although I still have two thousand black pearls in my hand, there is no conflict with you. Your plan is to dispose of the black pearls separately, and I want to use these black pearls." Pearls are made into sets of jewelry, and each set uses at least a hundred black pearls!"
Vincent asked: "You mean you don't plan to sell these black pearls?"
Qin Shiou nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. I will not sell them to you, nor to other stores. I hope you will make classic jewelry like the Queen of the Night, and I will sell them in the auction shop." Get rid of it."
This is his first thought. In fact, he has another thought, but he can't say it now. It depends on Vincent's meaning.
Vincent knew the value represented by these black pearls, he wanted to get them, and so on.With Funi's strength, there was no financial pressure to buy all the black pearls. As long as he has more than 2,000 top-quality black pearls, he believes that Tiffany will not need to purchase black pearls in the next two years.
¡°Even if they don¡¯t purchase blue diamonds, pink diamonds, jade and other types of super jewelry in the past two years, they can just use these top-quality black pearls to market and do various black pearl special topics. They will definitely achieve certain success in this regard.
The reason for having such confidence is that Vincent knows that the value of the black pearl has not yet been fully explored. You must know that only fifty years ago, black pearls were still ordinary ornaments. If it were not for the ¡®Black Pearl King¡¯ Salvador Asal, black pearls would 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 businessman in Italy named James Assal. He fled Europe to Cuba for refuge.
There, he found a way to make a living. At that time, the US military needed waterproof watches. Through his connections in the Swiss jewelry industry, Assal obtained a large number of high-quality waterproof watches and made a lot of money.
However, after the end of World War II, the U.S. military no longer bought waterproof watches, and Asal's business came to an end. At this time, there were still several thousand Swiss watches in stock, and the Swiss waterproof watches he obtained were all high-end goods at cost prices. It's also very high, so he can't drop it in his hand.
Then things started to turn around. The Japanese needed watches at that time, but they had no money, but they had pearls. Until now, Japan is also a major pearl producer, but they produce white pearls.
Soon, James Assal and his son began bartering, exchanging Swiss watches for Japanese pearls. Business was booming, and soon his son, Salvador Asal, was known as the "Pearl King."
But at that time, the Ansar family still controlled the white pearl business, and the black pearls were still the glass balls of the black weapon, which appeared after a turn of events. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
