Chapter 335 The pharmaceutical industry is too expensive
As an insider, Chen Shuqin knew that Zhou's jewelry was thrown away countless money in Lao Myanmar every year, and she didn't dare to say that the supply of jade in her store must be stable.
Especially high-end jadeite, it has always been a problem that plagues Zhou's jewelry.
Large companies like this are actually in the same situation as purchasing personnel of large domestic state-owned factories.
The only purchasing opportunity for jadeite is the Jade Public Market Conference of Lao Myanmar. This is Lao Myanmar's trick, and he will do his best to crack down on smuggling, and then gather all the big companies together to let everyone bid.
What should you get if the price is higher?
This is because the price of jadeite materials has been artificially increased. If no one comes, they will be unable to hype it up.
The best smuggling channel now is actually from Pagan to the east, on the Tengchong Ruili line, and to the south are all territory controlled by the Central Army. It is long to transport it to the seaside or Thailand and is easily intercepted at any time.
This was also the route for Chen Xia and Yan Jinche to escape home. There were many warlords along the way and they were often formed into groups, so there were more smuggling opportunities.
Decades later, why did Ruili, a place where birds do not shit, develop so prosperously? How did those jadeite raw stones come from? Everyone knows the source.
The Central Army of Myanmar could only stare at me, sucking their blood and scraping their flesh. But they couldn't control the Northern Myanmar and the Chinese were not something they could offend, so they turned a blind eye.
But the problem is that in the early 1980s, the mainland was still in an extremely conservative and closed era. The boss of Xiangjiang was not popular in the mainland, and it was far from the point where he could communicate directly with the top leaders of the mainland.
So it is impossible to take a detour from the mainland. People's iron fist will let you know what it means to crack down on capitalist roaders.
Small retail investors like Zhuang Rui can go to public markets to play stones, and if you bet on high ice or even glass, you will get rich. If you can't bet, you can buy a big stone for hundreds of thousands or millions of Hong Kong dollars. It's a big stone for you.
But purchasing personnel from large companies dare not play like this. Although they win the bet, they will make a contribution, but if they lose the bet, the boss will kill you.
Therefore, for the sake of their own life, the company's senior management can only choose to bid "clear information" to ensure that they are not losing money.
Not to mention gambling on stones, I rarely even go to gamble on window materials.
Like the huge piece of plain material that Chen Xia bought at Lei’s house in Tengchong, weighs more than ten tons, and the skin looks very good. How many companies dare to gamble when they take it out?
If you lose the bet after cutting it, it will be a rhythm that will hurt your muscles and bones.
Is there any legendary "Emerald King" in this period?
A master of gambling stones with high standards must exist, but it is impossible to be as magical as written in the novel. You can tell the size, shape and appearance of the jade inside by a few glances? Not everyone has a perspective like Zhuang Rui.
The so-called Jade King is just that others only win more than lose less. Just like stock trading, it is like winning more than losing less within a few years, not a single public market.
Such a great man is willing to work for a big company? Can't he be a boss?
There are too many rich people in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. How can I be embarrassed to take out a piece of gold jewelry for my wife, girlfriend, and mistress?
In 1982, diamonds were not popular in the East Asian cultural circle for the time being. Jade and Hetian jade have always been the favorites of the market to chase the stick.
For the sake of the company's brand, these large jewelry companies have to pinch their noses to bid, and sometimes they don't make money at all, purely for the sake of popularity, or don't want their opponents to surpass themselves.
Therefore, although jade is expensive, even in Zhou's jewelry, it is not the focus of profit. Perhaps it is still an embarrassing position of not being popular.
This is also the reason why Mr. Zhou was as calm as water when he heard that Chen Shuqin was about to open a jade jewelry business with his nephew.
In the old man's mind, jade is not a profitable business. When a young man wants to rush in, he will definitely be hit and bleeding from the beginning.
If Chen Shuqin said today that she had switched to another jewelry company or had to open a jewelry business, would Old Man Zhou still have such a calm mind? I'm afraid she would have to even kill her.
But whether it is Zhou Yutong or Chen Shuqin, he doesn't know what the golden finger Chen Xia has, he is a great man who has swept away the jade inventory of Ruili and Tengchong in the mainland for decades.
He even sent a great man to search the house of Lao Burma, a warlord who had existed for decades.
Other big companies have to bring US dollars to the public market. Chen Xia brought Yuezhou cloth and anti-inflammatory drugs. Can the cost be the same? It's all the same as picking up for free.
Not to mention the small items, Chen Xia has hundreds of glass-type imperial green bracelets. Just by taking out these bracelets and selling them one by one, you can make a lot of money by making "Caiyun South", which is a "pure profit" and the cost is almost 0.
So can Chen Xia and Chen Shuqin's jade company make money? Can it become famous? I'm afraid that when Chen Shuqin saw Chen Xia's inventory, she was not thinking about whether she would lose money, but about preparing for the rhythm of "listing".
Mr. Zhou has passed this.
It can be seen that the old man really admires Chen Shuqin and reminds her that she can ask him for help if she has any difficulties in opening a store in the future. It really doesn’t work. She can still go back to Zhou’s Jewelry to continue working.
Chen Shuqin, who walked out of Zhou's headquarters, continued to look back at the company that she had served for half her life. Her heart was full of determination and said to the little apprentice next to her:
"Let's go, we have a lot to do."
Yes, Chen Shuqin resigned from Zhou's Jewelry and did not dare to dig out their corners. She only took away one of her apprentices, Lin Hui.
Lin Hui is 23 years old this year. She is an employee Chen Shuqin recruited in person back then. She works hard and never cheats, and never makes mistakes in what she explains.
The key is that he is very beautiful, but he does not go to the sea with his appearance like other girls, but instead works honestly to make money.
This is very appreciated by Chen Shuqin. Their personalities are somewhat similar, and their relationship is said to be masters and apprentices, but they are more like sisters.
This time, Chen Shuqin resigned and asked Lin Hui whether to go with her. Lin Hui agreed without thinking, without any hesitation, which shows that the little girl recognizes her master.
Chen Shuqin took away many jade design drawings and materials. These things are not confidential to the company. Most of them are public photo drawings, and they are prepared to get back the materials that Chen Xia can refer to in the mainland.
With Chen Shuqin's resignation, "Caiyun South" officially entered the actual operation stage. After many years, he has been Chen Xia's cash cow and has always supported one of the sources of funds in his career.
Want to open a pharmaceutical factory or a hospital, this is really a very expensive industry. Not to mention the research money, the equipment needed by pharmaceutical factories alone is invested in hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
