From July 1st, SriLankan Airlines will open a direct flight to and from Chongqing, and the citizens will have a convenient choice for overseas travel. The world-famous Sri Lankan sapphire attracts countless visitors, but do you know? Sapphire actually has a lot of secrets. Listen to Lao Luo who has worked as a salesman in the third largest sapphire dealer in Sri Lanka.
Luo Weiping, who lives in the 12th building of Huayu Jinsha Times, is 38 years old. He returned to work in a motorcycle factory in Chongqing from the end of last year.
Sapphire actually has 4 colors the rarest is pink sapphire
In 2010, he was sent to Sri Lanka by ZTE to study foreign trade. His son was only two years old and lived in his wife in Chongqing. In 2012, a domestic friend called Lao Luo helped bring gems. Lao Luo found that there was a big market, and since then he has entered the jewelry industry and worked as a salesman in Sri Lanka's third largest sapphire dealer (Premadasa).
Lao Luo said that in the afternoon in Sri Lanka, the sun is lazy. When it’s okay, several clerkes get together and make a cup of Sri Lankan black tea to exchange experiences and knowledge. “These clerkes are already in their 70s and have been working in jewelry stores for many years. They are very prestigious in the industry.â€
Here, the old clerk told Lao Luo that the sapphire is not all blue, the Mohs hardness is 9, the hardness is second only to the diamond, because the mineral content is different, showing different colors, divided into pink according to the degree of rarity from top to bottom. , blue, yellow and white. What are the differences in value between natural sapphires in four colors? Lao Luo played an analogy, with sapphire as the price benchmark of 100, the same carat number, the same clarity, the same cut pink sapphire, is 150; yellow and white is about 70-80; if the pink is particularly in place, there are 200 cases. Tanzanite, aquamarine, topaz and other colored gemstones, although all blue, have a Mohs hardness of less than 9, strictly speaking "semi-precious stones" and "quasi-gems".
Buying a gemstone with 7 gems by price bidding, he saved 500,000 yuan.
“There are more and more Chinese people who buy gems in Sri Lanka.†Lao Luo said that the political situation in Sri Lanka is relatively stable now, and the number of Chinese tourists visiting Sri Lanka is increasing. Visitors look at beautiful gems and it's hard not to move. Nowadays, more and more people will choose pink and blue sapphires for lovers, as a special stone for engagement rings.
One day, Lao Luo received a group of Chinese tourists. The guests from Beijing saw the dazzling gems not starting, and Lao Luo introduced various gems to everyone. A small white-collar worker looks at a jewel of more than 10,000 yuan, but he just got into work and didn't bring enough money. "She borrowed money from a friend who was traveling with her, or bought it."
Before engaging in foreign trade work, I often did price bidding. Why not let customers bid for tenders and trade gems to bid? Another friend asked Lao Luo to help bring the gems. Lao Luo used this method to "tender" and went to the top seven stores in Colombo. “These stores are family-owned businesses, which have been passed down for generations. The longest store has been for more than 90 years.†The tour guides took visitors to buy the store.
Once a domestic executive team went to Sri Lanka to shop, bought a total of 7 sapphire bare stone, about 1 million yuan. If you only bargain, you need at least 1.5 million yuan. Lao Luo said that bad guides will receive 30% commission, and tourists are not experts. I don’t know how much the price of the gemstone is. It is very lucky to cut 20% higher than the reserve price.
