Golden Fishery

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

Bruyer had just sold his air freight company and used the money to buy a small island in French Polynesia. The coral reef is surrounded by blue waters and is called a paradise on earth. Only from the perspective of the scenery, it will win. Daqin Fishery is better.

  Bruyer introduced to El Salvador that black butterfly oysters are abundant in the local shining blue waters, and the shell of black butterfly oysters produces a rare treasure: black pearls.

  Since then, black pearls have slowly emerged as the pride of the luxury jewelry market.

  At that time, there was no market for black pearls, and not many people bought them. But Bruyer persuaded El Salvador to develop this product in cooperation and collect black pearls to sell on the world market.

  But El Salvador’s first battle was unfavorable: the pearls were poor in color, gray and dark, and not big enough, just like the small bullets used in early guns. People were used to white pearls, so they were not interested in these small black beads. In this way, El Salvador didn't even sell one, and returned to Polynesia without success.

  Things have reached this point. Asavado could have given up black pearls and sold the inventory to discount stores at low prices, or paired them with white pearls as jewelry and sold them. But El Salvador did not do this, he waited for another year.

  They tried to improve some good varieties, and then took samples to meet an old friend, Harry Winston, a legendary gem merchant. Winston agreed to display these pearls in the window of his Fifth Avenue shop, labeling them incredibly high.

  At the same time, El Salvador has continuously published full-page advertisements in several influential and gorgeously printed magazines. In the ad. A string of Tahitian black pearls shines brightly against the backdrop of diamonds, rubies and emeralds.

  Not long ago, it was also contained in clusters of black-rimmed oyster shells, hanging from a rope in Polynesian seawater. The pearls "raised in the deep sea" have now come to New York City, wrapped around the pink necks of the most popular opera actresses, and swaggered across Manhattan. Like this. It turned out that something that was not worth the price, was finally hailed as a rare treasure by El Salvador.

But in Vincent’s view, the value of black pearls is not only that. As the black mystery culture gradually heats up in the world, the value of black pearls has far surpassed that of white pearls and golden pearls. People who like them are becoming more and more popular. More, it shows that their value should also be greater and greater.

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

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

  Qin Shiou had a smile on his face, Vincent took the bait, and his second thought required him to think like this, but he could not turn his hole cards over. Instead, he shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Tiffany, you know the value gap between black pearls and a full set of black pearls, 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 will make more profits."

Vincent said: "But this is not fair enough for us, isn't it? If you launch a full set of jewelry like this, the value of our black pearls will decrease. Moreover. I am a luxury goods merchant. I am a jewelry designer. The black pearls were revealed to me, and they told me that they could not belong to me. That would hurt me too much!"

  Qin Shiou sat down. Liv and Kassel looked at these black pearls nervously with their hands casually stroking these black pearls. For fear that he accidentally swept the pearl to the ground, that would be a shame. Vincent was looking at his expression, hoping to win these two thousand black pearls.

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

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

  Qin Shiou frowned pretending to be very entangled. He considered for a while and asked: "Then tell the truth, Mr. Tiffany, how much are you willing to pay?"

  Vincent said: "This requires my team to evaluate and rate the texture of pearls. We have a professional appraisal team..."

  Qin Shiou waved his hand and said: "If the texture of these black pearls is as good as the one sold to you just now, first give me an estimate. How much money are you willing to pay?"

So it was Vincent’s turn to consider. He winked at Liv and Kassel, and they left, leaving him and Qin Shiou with more than two thousand black pearls. This is about Tiffany’s future development strategy. Problem, a lot of information needs to be kept confidential.

   "At least one hundred and forty million dollars!" Vincent said after a while in his mind.

  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 what I have. I can now make ten sets of Queens of the Night, Queen of Sunny, and even Star Queen!"

   "Well, what price do you want me to offer?" Vincent sighed and asked.

   "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, if you take a stake in Tiffany, he wants to join this huge luxury empire, even if it’s just sharing a small piece of the empire’s territory, it’s better than selling the black pearl for money. Tiffany is a chicken that can lay golden eggs. Qin Shiou wants to buy the ownership of this chicken, not one or two golden eggs.

  With the rapid increase of black butterfly shells and the huge red corals he owns, there are too many gems in his hand. If it is only used to sell money, then he will earn less and less money in the future, because he can cast too many red corals and black pearls, which will impact the market price.

  Things are precious, and when they are no longer scarce, they are worthless.

   Therefore, turning these gems into luxury jewelry can create the greatest benefit, and it is unreliable to let him open a jewelry store by himself. Jewelry requires historical background, so he wants to invest in Tiffany.

   Hearing what he said, Vincent was taken aback and asked in disbelief: "Do you want to buy shares in my empire only with these black pearls? Just some black pearls?"

  Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "No, there are red corals besides black pearls."

   "That's impossible!" Vincent laughed, looking at Qin Shiou's gaze somewhat contemptuously. In this regard, he has this confidence. Tiffany is the world's largest 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, today's affairs are difficult to handle. (To be continued~^~)
