The journey starts from the Titanic

Chanel interrupted with a smile.

This woman is really amazing, she reacts so quickly, she never missed the opportunity to sell herself.

"Thank you." Laura nodded, smiling at the corner of her eyes.She likes this Miss Chanel too much, although she has not known her for a long time, Chanel is considerate, knows how to deal with people, and has her own business. It is the kind of independent woman Laura admires, so she regards her as a good friend.

"By the way, sir, is it true that you said there are better pearls just now?" Chanel turned to Situ Nan with a smile, and a trace of irritation flashed in his eyes: just now this guy unscrupulously criticized his masterpiece, it is too unforgivable.

"Um..." Situ Nan hesitated a little, and immediately responded, "Of course. I have been to the South China Sea, where pearls are rich, and I have seen many beautiful pearls, of all kinds."

"It turned out to be like this." Chanel nodded and glanced at Situ Nan, as if to say-if you reacted in time, let you go first.

"Then, I am very eager to get those pearls you mentioned, okay? You know, crystal white pearls are the favorite of Parisian fashion industry!"

Chanel looked at Situ Nan expectantly.If it is like what the other party said, she is willing to pay a high price for pearls.

"Miss Chanel fancy South Sea pearls?" Situ Nan looked at the French woman in front of her. Pearls can be used not only for decoration, but also for use, especially Asians. Compared with Westerners who like diamonds, they are more jewel-like and love pearls. Jewelry and other jewelry.

South Sea pearls are very famous in the world, the main producing areas are in South China, British Malaya, Australia, the Philippines and China's Guangxi and Hainan.

At present, most of the pearls produced in Nanyang are artificially planted. They are obtained by diving from the pearl divers. They are much better in appearance and value than artificially cultivated pearls. However, they belong to the more traditional extensive manual operation, and only a few people can do it manually. Breeding, if you want to make this industry bigger and stronger, you have to rely on large-scale artificial breeding.

Situ Nan recalled and found that the pearl industry did not seem to attach much importance to South China. It is no wonder that everyone is busy digging for oil, serving as factories, and doing everything possible to achieve industrialization. So if you have the intention to support the undervalued business of pearl cultivation?

When Situ Nan was thinking about it, Chanel saw something in his eyes, and his eyes lit up, so he asked: "Yes. Chanel is going to focus on pearls in the jewelry industry, but unfortunately we have not found a solid supplier of raw materials. It would be great if you could help. I believe the prospects are very good."

"Can you? My dear." Laura was a little moved, her beautiful eyes fell on Situ Nan's face.

"Of course. But I need to understand the relevant situation to answer you. Miss Chanel." Situ Nan smiled.

It is impossible to say that high-end pearls will be exported to France in the future, while other pearls sold to Asian countries and regions such as China and Japan will also benefit a lot.

Chanel’s words reminded him: If through the cooperation of Chanel, Nanhua’s pearl farming industry can be developed very well, although Situ Nan does not lack the money, he would not object to making money.

"Thank you so much." Chanel's lips curled up slightly and found that Situ Nan was actually not difficult to speak, just a little proud.

At the appointed time for the negotiation, the fragrance of Chanel finally drifted away, no longer disturbing Situ Nan and Laura enjoying the wonderful time of the party.

"Your attitude just now seems to be unfriendly to Miss Chanel?" Laura put her arms around Situ Nan's neck, danced to the rhythm of the music, raised her head slightly, looked at Situ Nan, her eyes were facing each other, and she I saw my shadow in the through hole.

"I can't talk about it. I just don't like strangers very much, you know, I don't like this kind of occasion very much." Situ Nan lowered his head slightly, hugged Laura's waist harder, and leaned her closer to her arms. .

Laura nodded, and Situ Nan did not take her to attend similar banquets several times. It was more romantic for the two at home.

Even at banquets in Washington, he is often too busy to get together with a bunch of old men to discuss matters.The banquet is the main place for socializing. If it is not necessary, Situ Nan rarely attends, a very low-key.

Perhaps I felt a bit blunt, and Situ Nan smiled again: "In fact, I think Miss Chanel is pretty good, better than most French men. Maybe we can invite him to be a guest at home?"

Laura nodded, a bright color in her eyes.

On the way back, the two talked about the Chanel woman again.Laura was basically talking about Situ Nan pretending to listen with interest.

Chanel was born in an ordinary family and lost her mother at the age of six. Her father abandoned her four children, so she was raised by her aunt.When I was a child, I went to a nun's school and learned needlework skills there.

After growing up, it is not easy to sing and become a dancer in a coffee shop to earn a living. It is not easy to rush to different bars and coffee shops every day.

In the process, Chanel met two lovers, one was a British industrial capitalist and a wealthy French military officer. With the support of these two men, she left the dancer and opened her own fashion store.

"It turned out to be like this, it's not easy!" Situ Nan sighed in his heart, thinking about thousands of miles away, and suddenly thought of Kuzdova in New York and Wu Manli in New Tangshan.

The more developed the city, the more women of similar origin, not to mention Paris. Take the little Paris of the East, Shanghai, for example, there are more than 70,000 young women in the service industry.

However, the national conditions are different. Paris can produce a Chanel, and women are more independent, while Shanghai—I hope such things will become less and less, Situ Nan is silent.

"If possible, I would like to invest one or two in Miss Chanel's career." Laura suddenly said to Situ Nan, "Before you met just now, Miss Chanel had a willingness in this regard, I think it will be helpful to her."

"My dear, do you know about our family's investment in South Africa?" Situ Nan asked rhetorically.

"South Africa?" Laura was taken aback, and then she reacted and smiled. "Are you talking about US-British diamonds? What does it have to do with this?"

"It's okay! I just don't want you to be tired. It's enough to give some money and a little effort. Don't participate too much." Situ Nan shook Laura's hand and smiled gently.

"Why do you say that?" Laura looked at Situ Nan with some confusion.

"Nothing. In our house, I am responsible for making money, and you are responsible for spending money. Looking at you in Paris during this time, you are very passionate about these things, I feel I am in danger of being left out."

After speaking, Situ Nan looked at Laura pitifully.

"Ha ha……"……

After returning from the banquet, Situ Nan found relevant information about pearl cultivation, and he found a lot.But what makes him depressed is that it is the Japanese who leads the way in artificial cultured pearls.

"Japanese pearls are very famous. A Japanese named Mikimoto Kokichi invented a patent for artificial cultured pearls, using a relatively small pearl clam to produce pearls. The clam itself is only 6 to 7 cm in size. Although the pearls are relatively large Small, but because of artificial breeding, the output is very considerable.

In the waters of the Seto Inland Sea, the Japanese earn millions of dollars in income from pearl farming each year. They are sold in Asia, Europe and the United States. The development momentum is very rapid. It is really a small pearl making a lot of money!"

He Yongyuan stood in front of Situ Nan and said with emotion.

Well, cultivating pearls has raised a battleship!

Situ Nan nodded, still a little skeptical in his heart: "The business is really so good? Pearls are rare products. Are Japanese people mixed with fish?"

"That's not true. Although the price is a little lower than natural pearls, it can't bear the high demand? When I was in Hong Kong, my family liked pearls very much. Especially old ladies and old ladies love this. Rich People, still use pearls as medicine?"

He Yongyuan explained.

"When medicine? I think there are more beauty products, right?! Natural beauty products are simply invincible for women who love pretty and rich, and it is men who suffer!"

Situ Nan rarely joked.

Boss, are you still suffering?

He Yongyuan smiled knowingly and followed Situ Nan's meaning: "I also think that the idea of ​​making high-end cosmetics with pearls has to be tried. The market should be very broad regardless of Chinese and foreign. As far as I know, Nanhua pearls are bigger than Japanese pearls. Larger, better quality, if you manage it carefully, it is also a good way to make money.

Doesn't Japan impose heavy taxes on luxury goods in China and South China?In fact, according to South China Customs statistics, Japan is also dumping large quantities of their pearl products to South China."

"Is there anything?" Situ Nan frowned, a little unhappy.Those who are familiar with him know that this guy is the most unpopular Japanese.

He Yongyuan smiled and nodded.In fact, he is also making small calculations. His wife's family is in the jewelry business and invests in the pearl farming industry and luxury goods business in South China. If this matter attracts Situ Nan's attention, he can also take a ride.

"Master, look! This is a Japanese pearl. It is less than ten millimeters in size. This is a Nanhua pearl that is more than 14 millimeters in size. It is also better in color than Japanese pearls. Of course, if it is cultivated artificially, The color and fullness will be a little bit worse, but the output is definitely better than that of Japanese pearls."

He Yongyuan conjured two pearls and presented them in front of Situ Nan.

"Look, there are black pearls here, produced in French colony Polynesia. The French make a lot of money by relying on that small island in the South Pacific? Chanel wanted to buy from there, but it was sold by another French company. The jeweler had a monopoly and only thought of our South Sea pearls."

He Yongyuan did a lot of homework. Originally, Situ Nan was just talking casually. When he said that, he became more interested in pearls.

According to He Yongyuan, Australia is most conducive to investing in pearl farming. Australians do not pay much attention to pearls, just as they do not pay much attention to lobster and abalone.
