Evil Awe-Inspiring - v3 Chapter 125
Chapter III [Peak] Chapter 125 [Diamond Business] Qiao Qiao’s old man does have business in India. Among them, what I value especially is an import and export trading company in New Delhi, India. From experience, I guessed that the old fox might also have some unscrupulous smuggling business.
This is very simple. In fact, almost 90% of the import and export companies have some illegal activities, entrainment, smuggling, tax evasion, etc. These have to be done more or less. Even for some large state-owned foreign trade import and export groups in China, the hands are not absolutely clean.
In India, how to get the right to operate a legitimate diamond business depends on the old fox to find a way, whether he buys it or pays a bribe, or find a company with a diamond business right to cooperate, then It’s the question he’s worried about.
And I, in the next two or three days, under the lead of the old fox, I met a few domestic jewelers or their representatives.
However, the process of meeting was hard to say happy.
Because, I think these domestic jewelers always seem to have a small family spirit … Yes, yes, small family spirit! They seem to be looking forward to the future, and they want to make money, but they are also worried about risks. They are no wonder that for so many years, the domestic jewellery industry has been petty, and there is not even a slightly well-known brand in a broken area! Don’t talk to me about psychics, it’s from Belgium.
In recent years, I have become accustomed to dealing with foreigners who are adventurous and adventurous in foreign countries. Under such a comparison, I am going to judge!
It’s hard to say, but I have to say.
When foreign businessmen cooperate. More consideration is: how can we make more money!
And domestic businessmen, when cooperating, more consideration is: Be careful not to be pitted!
The realms are different, and the results are naturally different.
“How can you guarantee that the diamond you gave me is legal?” The first jeweler to meet was a representative from the North.
I glanced at him: “Can you guarantee that the diamonds you are operating now are legal?”
“Of course!” He exclaimed: “Our goods are subject to formal customs import procedures and goods origin certificates!”
I smiled: “I will also give you a full set of legal procedures, as well as the certificate of origin of the goods … well, and it is issued by the Indian customs.”
“I’m not asking about documents and procedures … I’m asking if your diamond is legal!” The representative seemed very unhappy: “We are a formal state-owned company and we will not do smuggling business!”
I smiled and looked at him: “I know. Now all the diamonds in domestic jewelry stores are imported from foreign merchants, most of them are from Europe, right? Can you guarantee the diamonds you sell now? Is it legal? “
“Of course!” The guy answered me confidently.
I sighed, glanced at him, and then said lightly, “Okay, goodbye, we will have a chance to cooperate again in the future.”
An idiot fits the image of incompetence in the state-owned companies I know. As the representative of a jewellery company, I don’t even know the most basic common sense … legal? Two-thirds of diamonds on the world market are illegal! Diamond merchants in Europe are all engaged in smuggling diamond business, but they are good at putting diamonds of unknown origin on the legal coat … documentation procedures, these can be artificially bleached!
Two-thirds of the diamonds in circulation around the world are illegal. How dare you say that your diamonds are all legal? joke.
“Your price is too high.” This is the second diamond merchant I face.
This time he was not as stupid as the first state-owned jewellery company, but he competed with me on the price.
I said lightly: “The price I offered is 15% lower than the price you get from Europeans.”
This man frowned, and the conversation with him made me even more unhappy. In the end I came to a conclusion …
I understand.
The main reason for his mistrust and price dispute was because I was Chinese! It’s Chinese!
Because the supply of diamonds is now in the hands of white people, the domestic jewelry industry’s imported diamonds are also dealing with Europeans. After all, there is no diamond origin in China, and China’s diamond consumption has become the second largest country in the world in the past two years! In this way, the demand in the market and the lack of local origin make domestic jewellery traders have to be inferior to European diamond merchants and let the other side slaughter.
We are used to the other party’s high, the high price, the habit … we are looked down upon!
“Fuck.” I couldn’t help cursing after sending the guy away. He doesn’t trust me, because I’m a yellow-skinned Chinese like him! This guy doesn’t believe that a Chinese can have the ability to break the monopoly of Europeans on diamonds, or that a Chinese can help them get so many diamonds … Moreover, it seems to him that since it is a Chinese, it should be done It is low-end cheap goods, the condition of the goods is definitely not good, so the price must be low!
I can’t help sighing … these people look down on themselves and feel like they are inferior, so what am I talking about with this waste? !!
The third person I met with was actually a young man who didn’t seem to be thirty years old, even with a hint of clumsiness.
“I’m from Baoqing Jinlou.” He handed me a well-made business card. I got a two-point favor with this honest-looking person, and when I saw his business card, that sentiment rose again by three points.
Without him, just because this Baoqing Golden Tower is a local jeweler from my home city of Nanjing.
Domestic jewelers, because of historical reasons and Chinese characteristics, are generally known as XX Gold House, XX Silver House, XX Gold Shop, etc. and so on.
I, a Nanjinger, are naturally familiar with this brand. This is the largest jewelry company in Jiangsu. It has branches in several cities in Jiangsu Province. It is a regional brand. Moreover, their business strategy is considered to be relatively advanced in China. They have learned to initially separate different consumer groups and customer groups into different grades!
In Nanjing, the jeweler’s shop has been distinguished from ordinary shops and boutiques. Ordinary stores meet the needs of low-end consumers, while boutiques target high-end customers with strong spending power.
This jeweller’s market share in gold is quite powerful, and their strategy is very clever among the local jewelers in the domestic “small workshop operation” model.
This person seems honest, but when I talked, it changed my perception immediately.
“The domestic diamond market now has an annual sales of 15 billion yuan. I estimate that it will reach 20 billion yuan next year … This is a big cake. Unfortunately, our neck has always been They are all led by Europeans. They firmly grasp our lifeblood, because diamonds are in their hands, the market they control, they can set prices at will, and how much profit they have. It ’s ours. Therefore, although domestic jewelers also do diamond business, most of them treat diamonds as a supporting need. A jewellery store without diamonds is really out of shape. But everyone does not value diamonds because We ca n’t make money with diamonds, we still focus on traditional gold, silver, jade, etc. “
“The second one is the cutting process.” The person sighed. “Our cutting process is also backward. You know, a diamond is good, the cutting process is very important, and in this respect, we are much behind other people … … However, if we can cooperate, we are willing to immediately import a complete set of cutting equipment from India, and introduce some professionals in this area ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ He said here, and he gave me a glance: “The key Yes, we have to have diamonds first! Got to have supplies. “
I laughed, I like this guy, at least he is an understanding person, unlike the first two are stupid people.
Of course, I can’t be stupid enough to show him the bag of diamonds. I only took one out and handed it over: “Two thirds of the diamonds circulating in the world are smuggled. You should know this. . So don’t ask me the source of these goods, you won’t say if you ask, even if I say, you will trouble yourself. “
He took the diamond, immediately took out a small detector from his arms, looked carefully for a while, a smile appeared on his face, and then returned the diamond to me: “Of course, as long as you give me the goods, There are no violations of domestic laws in terms of procedures and documents! As for how these goods came from abroad … I won’t ask. Haven’t all Europeans done this for so many years! “
“Happy cooperation!” I laughed, and said, “But unfortunately, you and I understand that these things are not on the stage, so we can’t sign any contract. However, to show my sincerity …”
I slowly handed the diamond to him: “You must have a girlfriend or wife. Let me be a gift to a friend.”
