Chapter 786
"In early May, due to the strikes of several major gem mines in Brazil, the prices of colored gems have risen by two percentage points on average. Among them, gem-grade tourmaline prices rose by a large margin, reaching 4.5%, and prices are expected to continue to rise."
The host on the radio paused before asking: "Dr. Harold, what do you think of the price increase this time, or do you have any suggestions for investors?"
"Hello, listeners in front of the radio! First of all, I want to say that the Brazilian gem mines, which occupy an important position in the global non-ferrous gem market, have increased their export volume year after year, but the gem prices have not reached the average increase. This is an unhealthy way of selling."
At this time, the host on the radio asked in a cooperative manner: "Why did Dr. Harold say that?"
"We all need to distinguish between colored gems and gem-level gemstones. This is a collective name, two concepts. All gems produced in Brazil are called colored gems, but only those colored gems with appreciation potential can be called gem-level gems."
Dr. Harold on the radio paused for a moment and said, "The colorful stone strike incident under the Brazilian Yuanshan Group is the source of the rise in international colored gems..."
Listening to the talk of the "Harold" on the radio, a smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yuanshan's mouth.
"Yuanshan Group" released a major strategic adjustment plan at 10:00 am local time on May 3, Brazil: Yuanshan Group will reduce the shipment of decorative gems and carry out comprehensive packaging of gem-grade jewelry.
It did not say why the shipment of ordinary gems is reduced, nor how to carry out comprehensive packaging. In just such a simple sentence, the price of the global non-ferrous gem market has been shaking.
Ordinary people cannot feel this change. Maybe you buy the most ordinary tourmaline garland. It was originally ten yuan, but now it has only become twelve yuan. Those end consumers don’t have much experience with the two yuan thing.
Even those ordinary gem-level jewelry are the same. Originally, it was sold for 3,000 yuan, but 4.5% of the price was only about 100 yuan, and it would not have a big feeling.
But those large regional retail wholesalers and high-end tourmaline buyers feel different. Originally, one piece of goods costs 10 million, but now it has hundreds of thousands or even one hundred million more, which is a bit distressing.
But this is boiling frogs in warm water. There are hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the ones of hundreds of thousands have not had much impact on them. Which of the high-end tourmalines has a profit of not 50%, or even 100%,? The price will not rise even if it is too big, and it will be enough to make it back from consumers.
Fifty percent of the workers in the "Bernanbugo" major gem mines directly participated in the strike, and more than twenty percent of the workers were also passively slacking off. The mines there are now basically half-stagnant.
Bewitched by that small group of people, the workers walked onto the streets and came to the company building, city government, and state government protested, demanding a unified salary increase of one thousand reals. If the Yuanshan Group does not accept this condition, they will suspend work indefinitely.
In order to avoid further striking, it will turn into a vicious incident of beating, smashing, and looting, Pernambuco Prefecture urgently summoned Yuanshan Group and asked them to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
However, Yuanshan Group is responsible for this matter. All wages are paid in accordance with the salary standards set by the Ministry of Labor, and there is no phenomenon of wage arrears, so they have no way to deal with Yuanshan Group.
Anne Isabella, the executive director of Yuanshan Group, has a very tough attitude. The company does not compromise, does not admit it, does not accept those unreasonable requests, and no one uses any means to force/force the "Colorful Stone" company. Yuanshan Group is ready to temporarily close the "Bernanbugo" gem mine.
There were many troubles in Brazil, and some people wanted to bypass Anne Isabella and talk to Fang Yuanshan directly. Unfortunately, he was hiding behind the scenes and never showed up from beginning to end.
At this time, Fang Yuanshan had arrived at London International Airport, waiting for the next plane to China.
Sitting alone in the waiting hall, Frank and the others pretended to turn a blind eye and sat on a bench a few meters away. It was less than half an hour before boarding the plane. He was a little bored and looked around at the passengers beside him.
Maybe this flight is a plane to Xiangjiang, so there are many Asians nearby, those who play with their mobile phones, those who listen to music, and some are coaxing children.
The four-dimensional image scanned the neighborhood, and there were many beauties, but most of them looked very cold, and they had two fingers tightly clasped. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be "pull/pull".
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really a waste, there are two more bachelors in the world"
Time was fast. Just as Fang Yuanshan was looking around, the broadcaster was already reminding him to board the plane. Fang Yuanshan, carrying a backpack, walked leisurely towards the ticket gate. After getting on the plane, he didn't look at the surrounding environment anymore and began to close his eyes and rest.
The far mountain behind the plane took off without opening its eyes until a greeting came from beside it.
"Hello, sir, can you please help me?"
Fang Yuanshan was in the first class cabin, with two ergonomic recliners placed side by side, with the armrests for objects placed in the middle. At this time, the sound came from another recliner.
Fang Yuanshan, who was sleeping on the plane, opened his eyes and realized that the owner of the voice was a woman wearing a baseball cap. She had long hair shawls, a slim figure, and a pair of beautiful legs. She was holding a digital camera at this time, and the meaning was very obvious, and she asked him to help take a photo.
The bored Fang Yuanshan really wanted such a "good thing". He laughed with a look of laughter: "Would you like to take a photo for you?"
The "neighbor" thought that he knew Fang Yuanshan's reaction, and said "Thank you" with a smile, and then handed him the camera.
The neighbor first lay down flat, closed his eyes, and asked him to take a photo of him sleeping; then, perhaps because of the show-off mentality, he put her "lv" bag next to her and pouted.
Yuanshan can also understand the psychology of women. Who has not had a little vanity? Even those foreign women also like to show off, such as diamonds, bags, and houses. However, due to the cultural precipitation, they have to be much more low-key. Simply put, they like to show off secretly...
When the stewardess passed by, the neighbor expressed the meaning of taking a photo. The British stewardess wearing a World War II military uniform style suit did not refuse the neighbor's invitation. He cooperated and bent down and took a photo with her.
After taking the photo, the good-looking neighbor said thank you again to Fang Yuanshan and started chatting with each other.
"Is this gentleman coming to the UK on a business trip or a trip?"
Although Fang Yuanshan is not very good, she has an indescribable smell on her body, coupled with the indescribable clothes on her body and the first class cabin she is in. She probably has some background.
"I? I'm mining in Brazil, worth billions of dollars. All the gem mines over there are mine. I'm... By the way, do you know Brazil?" He was about to continue talking, stopped and asked the neighbor beside him, and the two thieves were staring around.
When the neighbor opposite said he was worth "billions of US dollars", his mouth twitched unconsciously and said with a stiff smile: "I don't know much about it."
"That's a pity. If you have time, you should really go to Brazil to see it. It's very beautiful. In terms of its scenery, it can be three streets away from the UK. I have a luxury yacht. If you go, I will take you around the sea."
Seeing the "nova" faces that he changed in a flash, the smile on the neighbor next to him seemed even stiffer. Considering that he had just done a favor and was not polite to say anything, he had to laugh dryly: "Haha, if you go there, I will definitely remember to find you."
