Chapter 197 Natural Red Coral
Of course, although Qinghua Group is an industry of Qing Gang, it cannot represent Qing Gang, because Qinghua Group has its own connections and relationships in the white world and will not be involved with Qing Gang.
Therefore, no one would think that Zhou Zhenghong has any connection with the Green Gang.
But being related to Qinghua Group is also quite remarkable.
The industries of Qinghua Group are not concentrated in G City, so although the total assets are over 100 billion, it is only ranked fourth on the G City rich list, with assets of more than 30 billion.
The G City Rich List is naturally ranked according to the assets in G City.
They really couldn't understand how Zhou Zhenghong had such great ability. Half of the big shots in the entire G city came to the opening ceremony. This was not only a matter of face, but also a matter of industrial development.
Qinghua Group presented Jade Beauty Jewelry with a natural red coral plant that was 20 cm high and 15 cm wide, with dense and thick branches.
Natural red coral is made up of accumulations of coral polyps. It grows extremely slowly and is non-renewable. Red coral only grows in a few straits and is restricted by the sea area, so red coral is extremely precious.
Red coral is an organic gemstone with a pleasing color and a lustrous texture. It grows in the deep sea 100 to 2,000 meters away from human beings. It is listed as one of the three major organic gemstones along with pearls and amber. It is also listed as one of the seven treasures in Eastern Buddhist scriptures. It has been regarded as a symbol of wealth and auspiciousness since ancient times.
This natural red coral is worth tens of millions. This generous act made everyone dumbfounded. Even Gu Ning was shocked and couldn't help but sigh that Situ Ye was really willing to spend so much.
The monetary value is secondary. The main thing is that this natural red coral is extremely rare and most of them are out of stock!
However, Gu Ning fell in love with it at once and decided to take it home for his own collection.
However, Situ Ye's generosity and Gu Ning's liking for it made Leng Shaoting suddenly jealous. He was so jealous that the more he looked at the natural red coral, the more it irritated his eyes.
Then, several big shots from City G also came, causing another sensation.
Gu Ning knew without Leng Shaoting telling her that these important figures were also arranged by Leng Shaoting.
But Leng Shaoting was able to call these important figures to come. It was obvious that Leng Shaoting's status was higher than she imagined.
But she really couldn't figure out what his identity was!
Unless Leng Shaoting told her on his own initiative, as long as she knew that Leng Shaoting would not hurt her.
Now "Jade Beauty Jewelry" is completely popular, and the huge lineup is unprecedented! Of course, this is for the opening of a jewelry store of medium size. If it is a large family, such a lineup is not uncommon.
What shocked everyone was not only the lineup of people who came to congratulate, but also the quality of the jadeite in "Jade Beauty Jewelry", which were all upper-middle grade, top-grade, and even top-grade.
It's ten o'clock and time to cut the ribbon. Before cutting the ribbon, Zhou Zhenghong gave a speech.
"Dear leaders, distinguished guests, ladies, gentlemen, friends: Hello everyone! Today, we are here to hold a grand opening ceremony for the flagship store of "Fei Se Mei Ren Jewelry". On behalf of "Fei Se Mei Ren Jewelry Co., Ltd.", I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to all of you for coming!"
Several hundred words are omitted below...
"Jade is the essence of all things and enjoys the reputation of "the crown of jade". It symbolizes good luck and good fortune. Jade Beauty Jewelry can make you noble and eternal with its high-end quality. Let us wish Jade Beauty Jewelry a better tomorrow. Thank you again for visiting us! Thank you!"
After the speech, there was a round of applause.
The next step was to cut the ribbon, which was done by Yan Zhenglin, Bai Lao, and the big shots arranged by Leng Shaoting.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, it was time to place reservations for the imperial green jadeite jewelry.
Gu Ning originally thought that not many people had made reservations, but unexpectedly, there were actually more than a dozen people who wanted to make reservations.
However, the raw materials of imperial green jadeite are insufficient to supply so many people, so the only option is to implement a backup plan.
This was something Gu Ning thought of just in case.
The backup plan is to conduct a secret auction. Customers who need to compete for imperial green jadeite jewelry go to the designated staff to get a pen and paper, write down the jewelry they need and the bid price, and then hand it to the staff.
After all the competitors have written their works, the staff will compare them and the one with the highest bid will win.
Soon, the results came out. As expected, Mr. Fu and Mr. Bai each won a ring, but the bids they offered were indeed much higher than those of others.
On the first day, before the official business started, the company had bills of over 100 million.
Because it was a jewelry reservation and the jewelry had not yet been received, each person only paid a 20% deposit.
Moreover, there will be some difference between the predetermined weight and the final weight. If the jewelry produced exceeds the predetermined weight, there is no need to increase the price. The customer can get a weight greater than the predetermined weight at the original price.
If the amount is less than the number of grams ordered by the customer, the amount will be reduced accordingly.
Because the weight can be estimated roughly but not accurately, everyone knows this and everyone can accept it.
