Chapter 347 Diamond Scam

What is a diamond scam?

Simply put, this is the most successful marketing case in the world so far.

It has existed on a global scale for more than a hundred years, and so far, some people have been willing to be deceived and paid for it.

In any country and region in the world, in any jewelry store, any salesperson in it will always tell customers how precious diamonds are, and even tell customers that diamonds have room for added value in the future.

And they will never admit that when the diamond is recycled, the price will be much lower than the price at the time of purchase.

Before the 20th century, diamond production in the entire world was very scarce, with an annual output of only about 20 kilograms, which was rare and expensive. In that era, diamond prices were naturally very expensive.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the world's largest diamond mine was accidentally discovered in South Africa, and the annual output of its mines reached an astonishing several tons.

If all the diamonds in the mine are dug out and circulated to the market, the price of the diamonds will drop to the bottom. It is not an exaggeration to call it the price of cabbage.

At that time, the diamond company was just established, and everyone at De Beers was in a mess.

In the end, De Beers invested heavily to buy South Africa, the world's largest diamond mine at the time.

Immediately afterwards, they carried out a series of operations, the first is to control the annual output of diamonds.

Everyone knows that any precious object, once it flows into the market in large quantities, its value will plummet.

Even diamonds are no exception.

De Beers also knows this, so they control the annual output of diamonds to a very balanced quantity, so that the increase in the output of diamonds will not cause the value of diamonds to fall.

There are only so many diamonds entering the market every year, which once led to the illusion that the supply of diamonds was in short supply, and the price of diamonds naturally stabilized.

After the market stabilized, they began to create demand again, and began to spend huge advertising fees to implant diamonds in movies.

They make perfect use of the extremely stable characteristics of diamonds, making it equate with eternity.

Then he took advantage of human’s desire for eternal love and put diamonds and love on the same scale again, making diamonds a symbol of love.

But when some women with memory prevent their men from buying expensive gifts, what should they do?

Quite simply, when women are not affected by advertising, they start to influence men again, telling all men that women like surprises most, and diamonds are the best interpretation of surprises. You must buy the best diamonds and secretly give them to your beloved. Woman has a surprise.

At this point, De Beers’ hype on diamonds has reached its peak.

However, the marketing of De Beers is not over yet. In order to prevent customers from reselling second-hand diamonds, they broadcast the world-renowned slogan.

"Adiamondlastsforever."

The Chinese jewelry company translated this slogan into very poetic Chinese.

"Diamonds are forever, and one is forever."

It was this advertisement that deceived the world for more than 100 years.

This is why diamonds are the most successful marketing case in the world.

Principal Wang naturally knew this kind of classic case, but he knew that Gui knew that he would not hesitate to spend money when it was time to buy diamonds.

However, why did Qin Yi mention the diamond scam at this time?

After thinking about it for a while, Principal Wang immediately thought of a thought that made him sweat.

If it is true, then Qin Yi's head is really not comparable to ordinary people.

Subconsciously lowering his voice, President Wang leaned into Qin Yi's ear and asked tentatively: "Are you trying to replicate the success of De Beers diamond marketing?"

Hearing that, Qin Yi grinned and nodded: "Since De Beers can deceive the world with diamonds, why can't I deceive the entire China with artificial diamonds?"

"hiss……"

Principal Wang couldn't help taking a breath when he heard this!

Oh my God!

Qin Yi, this kid is so fucking daring to think about it!

It has long been known that the status of artificial diamonds in China is far less than natural diamonds, otherwise China will not rely on exports of so many artificial diamonds.

How can you use your own power to change China's preconceived perception of man-made diamonds?

"Impossible, it is absolutely impossible. The Chinese women have been eroded too badly by the poisonous chicken soup, and it is impossible to accept cheap artificial diamonds."

Principal Wang directly denied this idea in front of Qin Yi.

Qin Yi raised his brows and said with a smile: "You are right, poisonous chicken soup has harmed many women, but why can't I be the initiator of poisonous chicken soup?"

"How about we achieve overwhelming propaganda through various factors such as the media, advertising, news, etc., so as to shake the general perception of diamonds in people's hearts?"

Speaking of this, Qin Yi gave Xiaocheng a writing gesture and motioned for her to help record it.

After Xiaocheng took out the pen and paper and was ready, he officially began to narrate his crazy plan.

"China’s man-made diamonds are mainly produced in three companies in Zhongzhou. I plan to go there in person during this time. If possible, I would like to acquire these three man-made diamond companies in Zhongzhou and integrate them together.”

"The next step is to increase production, control costs, and control the price of man-made diamonds at about 50% of the same level of natural diamonds."

"The second step of the plan is to carry out overwhelming marketing of man-made diamonds, as much as possible to replicate De Beers’ face-to-face methods, so that everyone in China will know that domestic man-made diamonds are of higher purity than imported natural diamonds. The cut is better and the price is cheaper!"

"I have short video tens of millions of influencers, and I believe that as long as the money is spent, there will be more tens of millions of influencers."

"And I have already decided on the candidates for the advertising endorsements. They are Fang Xuanyun and Bai Lingfan. They will never refuse my request. Coupled with Bai Lingfan's traffic influence, the plan will progress faster!"

"It is initially estimated that within a year, most of the diamond market share in China will be occupied by man-made diamonds!"

After telling the plan steps in one breath, Qin Yi almost didn't tell him that he was hypoxic, so he drank a mouthful of water and was shocked.

As for President Wang, he was stupid as a whole. He had never expected Qin Yi to have such a meticulous plan, and it seemed that the feasibility was very high.

"But, how do you get domestic jewelry brands to cooperate with you? After all, you might only sell loose diamonds to consumers, right?"

After hearing this, Qin Yi smiled mysteriously, and then lowered his voice to explain to President Wang.

"I have a gold mine in South Africa."
