Chapter 588 Good Things Are Rubbish Without Bargaining Power

When necessary, disown your collaborators and let them see and see their own strength, which can indeed avoid a lot of trouble.

But for some cautious collaborators, you may scare them if you give him a big shot.

So after hearing Ran Xinming's vigilance, Li Changheng smiled and revealed the answer directly.

"I asked people to hint to the various media in England, whether a free newspaper like the Times Morning Post will be published in England depends on whether they are willing to help me once.

Fortunately, the results are not bad. "

Ran Xinming thinks for a while that "Shiwen Zaobao" has become a major newspaper with a circulation of more than 100,000 copies in just half a year in Hong Kong Island.

There is also the story of forcing more than a dozen small newspapers to close their doors after only resisting for three or two months.

Immediately understood that the English media, when faced with a super rich man who had absolutely sufficient cash and even earned more money every year than all the newspapers in England combined.

If you don't want to hurt both sides, or be dragged down with sufficient cash flow, anyone will compromise.

Still, that sentence.

There is good and bad in everything.

After Ran Xinming figured it out, he regretted in a low voice, "Didn't you lose the best opportunity to enter the media industry in England?"

Li Changheng smiled and shook his head, "Money represents everything in the capital society, and the circulation of Hong Kong Island newspapers is determined by the upper limit of 200,000 copies. Even if I bump into the Hong Kong Island media circle, the attacks I receive are limited.

Moreover, Hong Kong Island is just a city after all. Although the capital is more developed, in terms of strength, the forces behind the various newspapers are just small players.

But England is different. Perhaps behind a big newspaper, there are several big groups standing.

I want to break the rules unreasonably and do what I can, but not only is it unnecessary, but I will offend too many people.

The best way is to join them, or pull them into your camp.

To explain in Chinese dialect, one more friend means one less enemy, right? "

Ran Xinming nodded in agreement, but he thought in his heart, Henry Lee said this to himself, is it implying that his energy in Europe and the United States is greater than it appears on the surface, and the influence is wider?

Thinking about what happened in London, Ran Xinming suddenly felt that Li Changheng, a person who has a good impression of the Celestial Dynasty, has more influence, at least it is more beneficial to the Celestial Dynasty than those who hate the Celestial Dynasty.

Thinking of this, when he took out a box from his pocket, he was much more willing than before.

Li Changheng took the box and opened it. He already had a certain understanding of jewelry and jade, and after a little thought, he knew it was Qilu sapphire.

Picking up a fingernail-sized rough sapphire that had just been processed, looking at the light, he smiled and put the gemstone back into the box without saying anything, and directly covered it.

Then, under Annie's puzzled eyes, Ran Xinming said, "Sapphires with such good non-darkness, transparency, and light reflection effects must not be many in your hands.

It's a pity, even if you ask me to give you an idea, I can't help it. "

Ran Xinming was taken aback. He just wanted to use the sapphires from Fujian to attract the princess Anne, and then influence Henry Li Jiajia, which has not yet become popular in China, or ordinary people can't afford it, let alone export such as red sapphires. .

After all, sapphire is more popular abroad than at home.

Just like all kinds of crowns, the most used gemstones are diamonds and red sapphires.

So upon hearing Li Changheng's words, Ran Xinming immediately felt that there was a problem.

Henry Lee said before that, apart from antiques, as long as there are good things, he is willing to pay even 10 million dollars a year.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out that it was just a sapphire export. Why did I refuse?

Li Changheng saw that Ran Xinming's expression was uncertain, his eyes were a little divergent, and he was in deep thought.

In an instant, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Although Qilu sapphires have been discovered by local people long ago, most of them are black and dark because of their high iron content.

In addition, before it is processed and polished, the rough sapphire looks like a blue-black stone.

And because of the large number, rural children can pick up a lot of stone toys in the mountains and rivers at will, and even Qilu sapphires have been bought by foreigners at extremely low prices for many years.

And the price kept soaring, and it was only after becoming famous that the mainland realized that they were being taken advantage of by others.

So when Li Changheng saw Ran Xinming, he took out a sapphire the size of a fingernail.

Subconsciously, he thought that he wanted to think of a way for himself to see how to improve the Qilu Sapphire, which could not be sold internationally.

That's right, although Qilu sapphires had to wait until the 1980s to really stir up enthusiasm, they couldn't be sold at a good price in a few years.

the reason is simple.

This is exactly the same as the diamond mine in the hands of polar bears.

When the raw mines were not well-known, and only Western jewelers bought, polished, and sold them, the prices of polar bear diamonds and rabbit sapphires were actually quite good.

Even because of the large output, the probability of producing the best products is relatively high.

Therefore, it is easy for Western jewelers to stock up on goods while using some gemstones to drive up prices.

But when the polar bear and the rabbit realized that their things were bought by people at the price of cabbage, and then sold at a price ten or dozens of times higher than gold, they began to control it by themselves.

Prices quickly plummeted.

The reason is simple. Although top-quality diamonds and sapphires are rare items, in terms of mining areas in the entire world, unless they are unique, other top-quality gemstones are not irreplaceable.

Now that there is no way to make huge profits, Western jewelers will subconsciously suppress the prices of Siberian diamonds and rabbit sapphires.

Even, they are all diamonds, but the polar bear diamonds are listed separately, and they have tried their best to belittle and demonize them for decades.

Therefore, it is not a problem whether the output is large or the overall color is not good. After all, the output of Kimberley and other diamond mines in Africa is actually not low at all.

Even the diamond inventory at the headquarters of the London Diamond Group has to be calculated in millions.

But the most direct reason why people can sell high prices repeatedly and steadily increase prices all year round is because the bargaining power and appraisal standards are in the hands of Europeans and Americans.

And this is a huge wealth involving tens or tens of billions of dollars every year.

So even if the rabbit's sapphires can produce top-quality gems, the final result is the same as the polar bear's diamonds.

Jewelers throughout Europe and the United States will find various reasons to define them as inferior products, so as to prevent rabbits from robbing their markets and interests.

Just one sentence, sea blue is the most precious, immediately making the dark blue Qilu sapphire worthless.
