"You're quite an honest person! Just based on your suggestions alone, your Songlin Group could easily establish a jewelry company!"
Mrs. Zheng genuinely felt that Lin Chengyu was truly amazing. No matter what industry he was in, he could do it very well. In particular, the cosmetics brand Qingyu produced by Songlin Group was really excellent.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Zheng. Actually, I've always felt that the jewelry industry is a very fascinating one. Every piece of jewelry has its own unique story and soul; they are not just decorative items, but also works of art and cultural heritages."
"However, I can't stand managing the company all day long. Our family will probably go into the jewelry business in the future, but we'll need to find good managers," Song Ziqing said.
After all, their family would definitely invest in various mineral resources in the future. After all, their family members were all prophetic. What shocked the family the most was that Lin Chengyu, that monster, remembered the exact locations of all kinds of rare mineral resources in the world so clearly.
That's why, not long after they went to Myanmar, they bought several jade and gemstone mines there. These mines were large mines that could be mined for decades.
If their influence in Myanmar weren't insufficient, he might have bought up all of Myanmar's high-quality jade and gemstone mines directly.
Later, they can buy several diamond mines, gold mines, silver mines, etc. in Africa and other countries. In this way, they can start a jewelry brand from the source.
"Yes, the jewelry industry is full of creativity and art. Every piece of jewelry needs to be carefully crafted and polished by designers to present its most beautiful side."
However, this industry is very selective; without relevant professionals, it's possible to encounter problems if you want to pursue a career in this field," Mrs. Zheng said.
She recalled her youthful passion for jewelry, those beautiful memories still vivid in her mind.
Just like this time, Chow Tai Fook directly sold substandard jadeite and gemstones as high-quality products, giving those with ulterior motives a handle to use against them. The jewelry company actually sold substandard jadeite and gemstones as high-quality products.
Fortunately, their prices are not high; otherwise, there might have been many returns.
This is also Chow Tai Fook. They used to deal in gold and silver jewelry. This is their first time dealing with jade and gemstones. Their understanding of these two types of jewelry is too superficial. They are still learning about the quality grades of these two types of jewelry.
Mrs. Zheng was very interested in jadeite and Burmese gemstones, and she couldn't wait for Ziqing to explain the classification of these two types of jewelry to her.
Ziqing smiled and replied, "I'd be happy to explain it to you, but the grading of jadeite and Burmese gemstones is quite complicated, so I'll start with jadeite first."
Ziqing paused for a moment, then continued, "The quality of jadeite mainly depends on four aspects: 'type, clarity, color, and craftsmanship,' among which 'type' is the soul of jadeite. Jadeite with good type has a fine texture, high transparency, and bright and even color, and has high collection value."
Ms. Zheng listened intently and couldn't help but ask, "So, what are the different types of jadeite?"
Ziqing patiently explained: "Common types of jadeite include glass type, ice type, icy-glutinous type, glutinous type, and bean type. Among them, glass type is the best quality jadeite, with extremely high transparency, fine texture, bright and even color, and is very expensive."
Icy jadeite is a high-quality jadeite second only to glassy jadeite, with excellent transparency and texture, and vibrant color, and a relatively high price.
Icy-glutinous jadeite is between icy and glutinous jadeite. It has good transparency and texture, but the color is relatively light and the price is relatively low.
Glutinous jade is a mid-to-low-end variety of jade. Its transparency and texture are average, but its color is relatively bright, and its price is relatively low.
"Bean-type" jadeite is a lower-end variety, with poor transparency and texture, and a duller color, resulting in a lower price.
Ziqing added, "Besides the common varieties, there are some special varieties, such as the Black Ice Ink Painting variety, the Iron Dragon variety, and the Golden Silk variety. These special varieties are very rare, and no matter which one, they are all top-quality."
Mrs. Zheng was very satisfied with Ziqing's explanation. She exclaimed, "I never knew there were so many intricacies to the type of jade. It has truly broadened my horizons."
Ziqing smiled, her tone calm and gentle, as if telling people about a beautiful and mysterious world. She said softly, "This is only part of the classification of jadeite grades. There are many other factors to consider, such as the color of the jadeite."
She paused, seemingly considering how to express herself better. Then she continued, "The colors of jadeite can be roughly divided into five major color systems and ten colors, which can be called 'five colors and ten shades.' These are: jadeite, emerald, purple, black, and white. It is often said that red is jadeite, green is emerald, and purple is precious. This is also a phrase that jade lovers often use."
Ziqing's voice was full of emotion, "Among jadeite colors, there are red jadeite and yellow jadeite. Red is the most auspicious and festive color in Chinese culture, representing passion, courage and hope."
Yellow was the exclusive color of the ancient Chinese imperial family, symbolizing power, nobility, and wealth. Both colors of jadeite possess unique charm and value.
Next, Song Ziqing shifted the topic to the purple hue. "Purple is also known as violet or spring color. Purple is a mysterious and noble color, representing romance, elegance, and luxury. In jadeite, purple jadeite is also very rare and precious."
Her voice became even softer, as if afraid of waking this beautiful emerald dream.
"Green is the most common and also the most valuable color. It is further divided into imperial green, bright green, apple green, etc. Green is the most vibrant color in nature, representing life, vitality, and hope. In jadeite, green jadeite is also the most popular and sought-after."
Ziqing paused briefly, then continued, "Blue refers to jadeite with a bluish tint, and the color can vary in depth and intensity. Blue is the color of the sea and the sky, representing vastness, depth, and mystery. Among jadeite, blue jadeite is relatively rare and precious."
"White is the most common color in jadeite. Most of the jadeite we see is white. White is a pure and fresh color, representing simplicity, elegance and purity. White jadeite is also quite common in jadeite."
