Chapter 1670

Qin Shiou snapped his fingers again. He was a little drunk today.

Nelson quickly opened his black suitcase. There were the same black pearls, arranged according to their size. They looked orderly, emitting pleated brilliance, blinding Vincent.

Seeing so many black pearls, Vincent was not happy, but his expression became a little ugly. He said, "Qin, I treated you as a little brother. Is it a little too much?"

Black pearls belong to jewelry and can be produced in large quantities every year, but Qin Shiou provides top-level black pearls, which is high-grade luxury jewelry. Only Tahiti, Australia can produce some, which is expensive.

Moreover, even ordinary wild black pearls can be produced in few places in the world. Strictly speaking, there are only two. One is Tahiti Island in Polynesia, which produces 95% of the world's black pearls; Second, the output of penlin island and makuhiki island in the Cook Islands accounts for 4% of the total output, and the output in other regions 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 culture technology. However, the cultured black pearls belong to nucleated black pearls, and their color and roundness are not as good as those of natural black pearls. Therefore, even in 1976, the American Gemological Institute recognized the cultured Black Pearl produced in Tahiti as "a cultured pearl with natural color", but in the high-end luxury market, cultured pearls can not be compared with wild pearls.

What is the difference between? That's the feeling. The most important thing about the wild black pearls provided by Qin Shiou is that its color has a sense of mystery. It's a kind of black that people can devote themselves to. The color of the cultured black pearls is dim. After being soaked by sweat for a long time, the color is more difficult to see.

Luxury jewelry such as wild black pearls has a specific market target. Only those people can buy them. Its value determines that it cannot face the whole society. According to the law of market supply and marketing, rare things are more expensive. The less the number of high-quality black pearls, the higher the price. If there are more, it is not worth money.

At first, Vincent's offer to Qin Shiou was based on the entry of 100 high-quality black pearls into American upper class society. If he knew at the beginning that he had 2000 such high-quality black pearls, Vincent would have to cut the price by at least half!

Qin Shiou knows this, but business is business. Auerbach and Bruce have repeatedly stressed this business rule to him. Human relations and business can not be mixed, otherwise it must be him who suffers losses.

Therefore, 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 a price.

It can't be said that he cheated Vincent. First of all, these black pearls can definitely afford this price; Secondly, Vincent began to set a low price for him. He squeezed the value of these black pearls from him. In other words, business is business. Regardless of their private education, they are now in business.

This is a bit similar to when Qin Shiou and Butler pit xiaotai Tezuka together. They first sold him a bluefin tuna with excellent meat at a high price, and then when xiaotai Tezuka bought it and brought it back to Tokyo for a big fight, butler went there with three bluefin tunas of the same quality.

At the beginning of last year, this incident really made Tezuka xiaotaikeng a little miserable. Since then, xidaicun Co., Ltd. has been a little depressed. He has spent too much money with that bluefin tuna.

However, Qin Shiou naturally can't treat Vincent as he treats xiaotai Tezuka. He has 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, "make jewelry, big ones for headwear, necklaces or other jewelry, and small ones for earrings, lip beads and so on."

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "so why are you in a hurry? Although I still have 2000 black pearls in my hand, I have no conflict with you. Your plan is to disperse black pearls. I want to make these black pearls into sets of jewelry. Each set uses at least 100 black pearls! "

Vincent asked, "you mean you're 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 other stores. I hope you can make classic jewelry like the dark night queen, and I'll dispose of them in the auction store."

This is his first idea. In fact, he has another idea, 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 put them in his pocket and buy all the black pearls with Tiffany's strength. There was no financial pressure. As long as there are more than 2000 best black pearls, he thinks Tiffany won't need to buy black pearls in the next two years.

Even in the past two years, instead of purchasing other types of super jewelry such as blue diamond, pink diamond and emerald, they can use these best black pearls as the market and do various Black Pearl topics. They are sure to achieve some success in this regard.

The reason why he has such confidence is that Vincent knows that the value of black pearls has not been fully excavated. You know, just 50 years ago, black pearls were still an ordinary ornament. If it weren't for El Salvador asal, the "king of black pearls", I'm afraid black pearls would still be of little value today.

Speaking of black pearls, we have to talk about it at the beginning of the Second World War. At that time, there was a big diamond merchant in Italy named James assar. He fled Europe to Cuba for refuge.

There, he found a way to make a living. The U.S. military needed waterproof watches. Assar obtained a large number of high-quality waterproof watches through his relationship in the Swiss jewelry industry, so he 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 has achieved its head. At this time, there are still thousands of Swiss watches in stock, and the Swiss waterproof watches he obtained are high-grade goods, and the cost price is also very high. He can't smash them in his hand.

Then things began to turn for the better. The Japanese needed watches at that time, but they had no money, but they had pearls - until now, Japan is also a big Pearl producer, but they produce white pearls.

Soon, James asal and his son began barter trade, exchanging Swiss watches for Japanese pearls. Business was booming. Soon, his son Salvador asal was called the "Pearl King".

But at that time, the Ansar family still operated the white pearl business, and the Black Pearl was still a glass ball with black non slip tools, which appeared after the turn.
