    One day in 1973, the "Pearl King" yacht docked in Saint-Tropez, France. A French young man named Jean-Claude Bruye came to visit from a nearby yacht.

    Bruye had just sold his air freight company and used the money to buy an island in French Polynesia, where coral reefs surrounded azure waters. It was a paradise on earth, but from the perspective of scenery alone, it was even better.  Daqin Fishing Ground is one of the best.

    Bruye introduced to Salvador that the local crystal clear sea water is rich in black butterfly oysters, and the shells of black butterfly oysters produce a rare treasure: black pearls.

    Since then, black pearls have slowly emerged as a favorite in the luxury jewelry market.

    At that time, there was no market for black pearls and not many people bought them.  But Bruye persuaded El Salvador to partner in developing this product and collaborating in collecting black pearls to sell on the world market.

    But El Salvador was unfavorable in the first battle: the color of the pearls was not good, gray and dark, and the size was not good, just like the small projectiles used in early muskets. People were used to pure white pearls and had no interest in these small black beads.  In this way, El Salvador did not sell even one, and returned to Polynesia without success.

    When things got to this point, Asavado could have given up on black pearls and sold his inventory to discount stores at a low price, or combined it with some white pearls to make jewelry and sell them.  But El Salvador didn't do that. He waited another year.

    They worked hard to improve some good varieties, and then took the samples to meet an old friend, Harry Winston, a legendary gem dealer.  Winston agreed to put the pearls on display in the window of his Fifth Avenue store and mark them with incredibly high prices.

    At the same time, El Salvador published full-page advertisements in several influential and glossy magazines.  In the advertisement, a string of Tahitian black pearls shines against the backdrop of diamonds, rubies and emeralds.

    Pearls that not long ago were contained in clusters of black-edged oyster shells and hung on ropes in the waters of Polynesia, "raised in the deep sea and unknown to man", now come to New York City, surrounded by the pink of the most popular opera star.  neck, swaggering through Manhattan.  In this way, things that were of unknown value were finally turned into rare treasures by El Salvador.

    But in Vincent's opinion, the value of black pearls goes beyond that. As the mysterious black culture gradually heats up in the world, the value of black pearls has far exceeded that of white pearls and gold pearls. More and more people like them.  If there are more, their value should be shown to be greater and greater.

    If there is some hype, Vincent feels that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the price of black pearls, so he has an idea.

    "What do you think if we buy your pearls, Qin, I mean all the pearls here?" Vincent asked.

    A smile appeared on Qin Shiou's face, Vincent took the bait, his second thought required him to think this way, but he could not turn over his trump card, but shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Tiffany, you know black pearls and black pearls  The difference in value between a complete set of jewelry, right? To be honest, I have a close relationship with the Black family of Ritchie's Auction House. As long as I get the jewelry, I can hold a special auction, which can make more profits."

    Vincent said: "But this is not fair to us, isn't it? If you launch such a complete set of jewelry, the value of our black pearls will decrease. Moreover, I am a luxury goods businessman and a jewelry designer. You will sell two thousand  Show me these black pearls, only to be told they can¡¯t be mine, that hurts me so much!¡±

    Qin Shiou sat down and caressed the black pearls with his hands. Liv and Cassel looked at the pearls nervously, fearing that he would accidentally sweep them to the ground, which would be a pity.  Vincent was looking at his expression, hoping to get the two thousand black pearls.

    After pretending to think for a while, Qin Daguan asked seriously: "Do you want to buy these black pearls? All of them, more than two thousand?"

    Vincent nodded: "Yes, and I can pay in cash!"

    Qin Shiou pretended to be confused and frowned. He thought for a while and asked, "Tell the truth, Mr. Tiffany, how much are you willing to pay?"

    Vincent said: "This requires my team to assess and grade the pearl quality. We have a professional valuation team"

    Qin Shiou waved his hands and said: "If the quality of these black pearls is as good as the ones I just sold to you, please give me an estimate first. How much are you willing to pay?"

    It was Vincent's turn to think about it. He winked at Liv and Cassel, and the two left, leaving only him and Qin Shiou, with more than two thousand black pearls, which were related to Tiffany's future development strategy.  Questions, manyThe information needs to be kept confidential.

    "At least 140 million US dollars!" Vincent said after calculating in his mind for a while.

    Qin Shiou laughed and said: "How much do you think the Queen of the Night is worth? And the black pearls used are incomparable to the ones I have. Now I can make ten sets of the Queen of the Night, the Queen of Sunny Sky and even the Star Queen!"

    "Okay, what price do you want me to pay?" Vincent asked with a sigh.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want the price, I want to invest in Tiffany with the final value of these black pearls!¡± Qin Shiou said his real purpose.

    Yes, by investing in Tiffany, he wants to join this huge luxury goods empire. Even if he only shares a small piece of this empire, that would be better than selling the black pearls for money.  Tiffany is a chicken that can lay golden eggs. Qin Shiou wants to buy the ownership of this chicken, not two golden eggs.

    With the rapid increase of black butterfly shells and the huge red coral on the seabed he owns, he has too many gems in his hands.  If it is only used to sell money, then he will make less and less money in the future, because he can invest too many red corals and black pearls, which will impact the market price.

    Things are valuable when they are rare. When they are no longer rare, they are worthless.

    Therefore, the greatest benefits can be created by converting these gems into luxury jewelry. It is unreliable for him to open a jewelry store by himself. Jewelry needs historical background, so he wants to use it to invest in Tiffany.

    After hearing what he said, Vincent was startled and asked in disbelief: "You want to invest in my empire with just these black pearls? Just some black pearls?"

    Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "No, in addition to black pearls, there are also red corals."

    "That's impossible!" Vincent laughed and looked at Qin Shiou with a somewhat contemptuous look. He had the confidence in this regard. Tiffany is the leader of the world's luxury goods industry!

    Qin Shiou said lightly: "What about providing two thousand black pearls and one hundred kilograms of deep-sea red coral every year? I think if you are not interested in this, then Cartier and Bulgari should be interested."

    Vincent frowned, things were going to be difficult today.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
