Author's introduction: Ah Jian, Myanmar overseas Chinese, jadeite rough senior expert, selection of materials gambling rate of up to 9%, Myanmar public market invited experts, has been for 36 Cuiyou, to provide jadeite customization services.
Burmese overseas Chinese Ajian
Thank you to the media "Confucian Gale" for giving me a chance to share.
Let me start by throwing out my first point:
"As long as the jadeite you buy is a finished product, you have already bought it expensive, let alone the room for appreciation"!
note! What is said here is that any channel, including the wholesale place of jadeite you think!
You think what I'm saying is a bit alarmist!
Don't be in a hurry, let me take it slowly, I can't tell the difference!
To explain this problem, we must start from the jade industry chain...
The jadeite circulation link is divided into six components...
They are Myanmar public markets, rough stone traders, jade processing plants, fried finished goods merchants, stall wholesalers, jadeite retailers!
And these six links, even if each link only earns 5%, the price of our finished product is already 1 times the price of jadeite rough!
And there is also a test of human nature here, that is, all links are conscientious merchants!
And sadly...
Among the customers who buy jadeite in China, 9% of Cuiyou can only contact the last link, that is, jade retailers!
The retailers referred to here refer not only to offline stores, but also to retail micro-businesses and retail live broadcasts.
Among them, only 1% of Cuiyou are fortunate enough to have access to the fifth link, that is, stall wholesalers!
Even if you come into contact with them, you will have to personally travel to Guangdong Hualin, Pingzhou, Sihui, Jieyang and Yunnan Ruili and other jadeite distribution centers to buy!
The question is, with a lot of money and trouble, you can buy the source jade? My answer is, not necessarily!
As for buying the finished jadeite through the first four links, you don't even have to think about it!
Either you can't reach them; or if you do, they won't pay attention to you!
Still not convinced? alas! Read on...
The first link is called "Myanmar Public Market"
Only Myanmar produces jadeite in the world, and each mine is controlled by the Myanmar military, which you can understand as "China's state-owned enterprise".
All the rough jadeite mined is arranged by the Myanmar military and auctioned in the capital "Nay Pyi Taw";
Because Myanmar only sells raw materials, coupled with myanmar's poor processing technology, Myanmar rarely produces finished jadeite products;
Even if there is a finished product in Myanmar, it is also resold by China.
So buying the finished jadeite product in Myanmar is a joke in itself (except for the interface).

The second link is called "Rough Trader"
This group consisted of Yunnan people and Burmese overseas Chinese.
Because of their unique vision, experience, and craftsmanship, they travel back and forth between China and Myanmar every year!
Because this group of people is very mysterious, it is not realistic to buy the finished jadeite from them!
Overseas Chinese from Myanmar travel to and from Myanmar to china to receive supplies
The third link is called "Jade Processing Factory"
This group of people generally open factories in jadeite distribution centers, mainly in Pingzhou, Sihui, Jieyang, Yunnan Ruili, Guangdong!
They do not do retail, and the shipment cycle is uncertain, generally after shipment, they will invite "speculation middlemen" to carry out private transactions.
Through this link, it is difficult to buy the finished jadeite products at the source! Unless you buy in large quantities!

The fourth link is called "speculation middleman"
This group of people is generally composed of Fujian and Cantonese people.
They are relatives with relatives in the way, the family jointly fund the purchase, after the sale, the profits are distributed according to the proportion of capital contribution!
This group of people never do retail, only put goods to stalls!
Find them to buy, it's hard!
Because they don't open shops, they belong to the "guerrillas".
Factory shipments, notify these "speculation middlemen", private auction transactions!
The fifth link is called "file wholesaler"
This group of people is generally composed of Cantonese people, in the form of husband and wife files, two-meter cabinets.
They are distributed in Guangdong Hualin Square, Pingzhou Jade City, Sihui, Jieyang, Yunnan Ruili!
Generally speaking, they do not press the goods themselves, and form their own source of goods by means of stall transfer and speculation middlemen.
Guangdong stall wholesalers, national retailers to choose goods!
The sixth link is the jadeite "retailer" across the country
This channel, everyone understands, put "one year does not open, open to eat three years!" "The beauty of the exhibition!
National jadeite retail store
In summary, as long as you buy a finished product, you are already expensive!
Why?
Because you can't escape the spells you bought from the fifth and sixth links!
Some people say that jadeite can be bought through live broadcasting or micro-business?
I'm going to say, "Boss! Where did the goods of anchors and micro-merchants come from? ”
It's not the fifth or sixth link, they're just online retail stores that make the difference!

So there is no way to buy the source jadeite?
I want to say: "Yes"! And that's the only way!
That's "Jadeite Rough Custom Finished Product"!
Why? Look at it again........
With the jadeite market, the purchasing power sinks, and the production capacity of the processing plant decreases, resulting in a serious backlog of "jadeite rough" in the hands of a large number of "rough traders".
In order to quickly liquidate, "rough traders" bid very low.
If you buy materials in the hands of these people and customize them yourself, it is a great benefit for Cuiyou.
I, on the other hand, had the privilege of being one of them and knew many "rough traders", including some Burmese miners!
So two years ago, I started doing rough customization business.
So far, I have served 36 friends and provided them with one-on-one customized business!
I believe that through the first-hand source material, coupled with my 15 years of experience in reading materials, I will be able to serve my friends well.
Special Note #1: What Kind of Emerald Has Room for Appreciation? I use a sentence to break: if you buy the price, even the jadeite middleman, are willing to buy, there must be room for appreciation, the avenue is simplified!
