Chapter 115 Convergence
In the general downturn in the global economy, jewelry business is not easy to do.
But Bai Hanfei also said, "Even so, all jewelry companies still have to stock up and have prepared funds to participate in the September jadeite public auction."
The jade market in Hong Kong City has always been very prosperous and the competition is particularly fierce. Now it can be described as bayonets, especially on jade public auctions.
Xia Yu is also short of money. He has not been thinking about jade, but gambling on stones! Online novels are often written, from the earliest "Golden Eye" to various antique novels later. If you don't go to gambling on stones, you will be embarrassed to say that you are the protagonist.
In reality, "crazy stones" are often staged, and the price of jade has reached its limit, and it depends on who will finally take over.
For this reason, Xia Yu also communicated with Bai Hanfei for a while.
Nowadays, the most powerful economic strength is naturally the jade merchant in the mainland.
In Yuhai alone, there is Yulin Temple, which specializes in jade, and every family manages jade.
But the merchants in Yuhai are not the most powerful. Jade merchants in several other places have started to work together for a long time.
Nowadays, gambling stones are not the same as in the past. The main areas of jade production are also very smart, controlling shipments and cooperating with merchants from all sides to carry out various operations.
The jewelry and jade merchants in Hong Kong City have actually been in decline for a long time.
But Bai Hanfei naturally refused to admit it. He believed that as long as he could get good jade raw materials, the consumption strength of the rich in Hong Kong City was obvious to all. Moreover, Hong Kong City is an open city, and the jewelry and jade auctions held by the auction houses in Hong Kong City have been sold at sky-high prices, which is very exciting.
Of course, there are also many mainland rich people who come to Hong Kong City to buy houses and jewelry, and go to Aomen Gambling...
Xia Yu still thought it was interesting to hear him telling the inside story of the jewelry industry. He didn’t have much capital to enter the industry, so it was still okay to listen to stories.
It is rare that there is someone who is willing to listen to his bragging, and Bai Hanfei is even more excited when talking about these things.
Girls like Bai Yujiao who love beauty are born interested in shiny jewelry.
When everyone was chatting, she talked about what Xia Yu gave her and "Mile Beads" were drawn from the coconut snail.
The Melo Pearl Market in Port City is similar to Yuhai, and there is no market...
There is no market for price, and the market still needs to be cultivated. There are very few people who collect Melo Pearls.
Bai Yujiao planned to keep this Meile bead by herself. Even if someone wanted it, she would not be willing to hand it over to others. This is the "priceless treasure" given to her by Xia Yu!
In addition to sitting together and bragging, Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao also brought some gifts to the grandfather's house this time, so I was embarrassed to come on empty-handed.
That is, Xia Yu gave classic gifts to men and women elders, seahorse wine and saffron.
Haima Jiu Xia Yu has stored a lot of saffron in the space, and the saffron was first given to Bai Yujiao and Xia Xue’s share in Yuhai’s new home. He also told Bai Yujiao that he would go back and do something and deal with it for the time being.
This is also more convenient to carry, at least, it is more convenient than seafood dry goods, and the thing has a strong smell.
Bai Yujiao has no problem, and the key is that she can't think of other better gifts.
Tea is delicious, but it is really a little bit too little, and I don’t have enough to drink it myself.
Saffron is better, and you can take it out in just ten grams.
Grandma and aunt are both knowledgeable people and have soaked saffron water to drink. But like Bai Yujiao's mother, after drinking it, they felt that it was useless and could not hold on.
Saffron is the most intuitive and visible effect. The quality of dried saffron stamens can be judged based on size, shape, color, and fragrance.
Take out a few more pieces and soak them in boiling water, smell the fragrance, look at the color, taste the taste, and make accurate judgments.
There is no doubt that the saffron that the two brought should be considered the top-notch on the market!
Bai Gaoze and Bai Hanfei did not drink it themselves, but it did not affect their judgment.
The seahorse wine that Xia Yu gave them looked more ordinary, and there was only one seahorse in a pound of wine.
But Bai Yujiao also said that after drinking her grandfather and father, they all said that the effect was quite good. She also reminded her that her grandfather added other Chinese herbal medicines and soaked them for a while before drinking them. The effect of neutralizing and applying the medicine is too nourishing. I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it.
As for whether Xia Yu had drunk this or not, Bai Yujiao was unknown. She was very satisfied now.
I haven't talked for too long. Everyone had to rest before 11:30, which is actually quite late.
The two energetic guys did not make any effort this night. Bai Yujiao also reflected on whether they were too uncontrollable and that the future would be long.
Xia Yu had some ways to consume his mental power. Both of them were tired from the road and slept very peacefully, and then they both got up very early.
That morning, the two of them stayed at the grandfather's house, chatting with the two old people, then made lunch together, and set off to the Gangcheng Airport.
Then at the airport, I successfully met with several other girls.
They set out from home early in the morning.
Xia Mingguang drove them to the port of Haizhu City, and passed Aomen to Gangcheng Airport.
This will take much less time than going to the airport in the sea of clouds and then going to the port city.
It is also the route that Chen Wenxiu and the others are most familiar with.
While waiting in the waiting hall to board the plane, Xia Yu naturally did not forget to ask them to check whether their items were complete, especially their ID and passports.
Xia Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, before leaving, my parents didn't know how many times they said, and they also helped check it out."
Chen Wenxiu asked him, "Cousin, have you installed a few common software on your phone? I still have time to do it now."
Xia Yu replied yes, "Your sister-in-law has helped to get it done."
Chen Wenxiu spat and said that he was showing off his food again.
He Linlin said that they all made the guide together, and they have been preparing for so long, so there will definitely be no problem.
Jizhou Island is not very big, and they don’t plan to go to other places in Bangguo.
This time I went to Jizhou Island, mainly to visit natural landscapes, so I went to less artificial attractions. Then, there was another more important thing, which was to go shopping.
There are many duty-free shops here, but it is the peak season for tourism, and there are many people going to buy things.
Fortunately, they have made sufficient strategies and don’t want to waste time queuing up, so they plan to buy them on these duty-free shop software and place orders online, and just go to the airport to pick up the goods.
It is mainly to buy some skin care and cosmetics here, which will be much cheaper than others.
Xia Yu didn't understand what the things they bought were and how to use them.
Bai Yu is naturally beautiful, but he uses a lot of these things.
Now, when a few girls gathered together, they were talking about what they wanted to buy and what they wanted to bring to their classmates and friends.
He Linlin also reminded them that they should pay attention to the tax exemption amount. The amount that everyone can bring back with tax exemption is definitely limited. If there are too many, they will have to pay taxes, which will not be cost-effective.
Xia Yu didn't care about them, and only told Bai Yujiao about the relevant plans and arrangements, basically letting her and her sisters play together. If he had free time, he would act with them.
Bai Yujiao nodded and said yes, they had originally tried their best to get this trip.
Originally, Xia Yu planned to go out and roam the world by himself. He first planned to go to Annan, where there were many treasures of shipwrecks. The Annan government alone organized the salvage of more than 20 shipwrecks, which basically competed for time with our country and introduced professional salvage companies from Western countries to cooperate with them.
In terms of underwater archaeology, our country is already quite backward.
Especially the shipwreck treasure resources in the South China Sea are particularly rich, but not enough resources are organized to salvage them, which is only cheaper for other countries.
It is not as fun as Jizhou Island when traveling to Annan. Fortunately, the shipwreck resources in the waters near Jizhou Island are also quite rich.
The ancient Maritime Silk Road and the East China Sea route, from Ningbo to Fusang, passed by near Jizhou Island.
Of course, there are also people who take the Ryukyu route when Goguryeo is strong or when pirates are rampant.
Since the time when Zulong unified the world, he sent Xu Fu to seek immortality overseas, and China has formed an indissoluble bond with Fusang Kingdom.
This East China Sea route has continued to this day.
There are also many shipwrecks found on the road. Xin'an shipwrecks in the Yuan Dynasty are the most typical trading ships.
Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao also believed that there were countless treasures of shipwrecks to be discovered and salvaged on this route.
The residence they chose this time was quite particular and did not choose popular attractions on Jizhou Island.
Instead, on the west side of Jizhou Island, Xia Xue and the others also told them that they didn’t want to join in the fun with crowded places.
Of course, this place also has attractions, with windmills on the beach here, which is also a relatively beautiful scenery.
You can see the windmills outside in the seaside hotel they booked.
Then they booked a two-person room and a three-person room. Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao lived together, Xia Xue, He Linlin, Chen Wenxiu and his sisters took care of each other. The accommodation here is not as expensive as other popular attractions, and they can save some expenses.
The biggest reason for choosing this place is that it is on the East China Sea route. Moreover, in the past, a sea girl fished up some ancient porcelain during diving and fishing operations. This fully demonstrates that there are shipwrecks in this sea area.
By the way, when they are on this trip, they will also go to see the sea girls who exist in Japan and South Korea, and these sea girls.
The sea girls are actually the same as Xia Yu's diving fishing operation method. They do not bring compressed air bottles. They rely on their own breathing skills to dive and pick abalone, sea urchin and other seafood. The danger is particularly high. Every year, the sea girls are buried at the bottom of the sea because of this.
At the beginning, the sea girls didn’t even wear clothes. Now they have better conditions and basically put on diving suits before going into the water, but there is still no more equipment to support them. The government has regulations, and they are all used to it.
