Chapter 722 Shanhaizhai(1/2)
The wedding was a whole day, until the three newlyweds were sent back to their homes. Liu Qingshan completed the task and went home to have a good sleep.
The next day, he followed Uncle Lu and the old hat master to go to the jewelry processing factory for a walk.
Hou San and Anna had nothing to do, so they followed them to see it.
Construction has started here quietly, and Liu Qingshan did not hold any ceremony, just set off two firecrackers, which was very low-key.
Hai Mingzhu serves as the factory director and chief designer, and Uncle Lu is the deputy factory director. Liu Qingshan originally wanted to call Uncle Lao'er to come here to get a deputy factory director in charge of security.
As a result, people didn't care. They said that they were comfortable walking around the alley all day long, so Liu Qingshan had to let him go.
There was no way, Liu Qingshan could only transfer Wang Xiaobing and Cao Xiaofei to the top and lead a group of veterans to be responsible for security.
The company's equity is divided into this way: Longteng Company, which accounts for 10%, does not participate in management, and only enjoys dividends.
Hai Mingzhu holds 30% of the shares and Liu Qingshan holds 50% of the shares. These two are the major shareholders.
The remaining shares are divided by Uncle Lu, Zhang Ganzi and Wang Xiaobing.
Liu Qingshan got off at the gate of the processing plant. No vehicle is allowed to enter unless it is transporting raw materials. This is also a rule.
Liu Qingshan didn't want to be special, so he walked in.
The yard is very spacious, with relatively tall factories, about two-story heights, and then divided into processing workshops.
It is mainly divided into two categories: one is precious metal processing, and the other is various gem processing.
Then there are detailed branches inside, just like gems, which are divided into several groups: Hetian jade, jade, agate, and other colored gems.
Gold and silver jewelry also have detailed division of labor depending on the wear part.
Of course, the two also overlap, such as some jewelry inlaid with gems.
There is also a warehouse, with raw material warehouses, finished product warehouses, etc.
The environment in the yard is pretty good. It turns out that some old trees are all preserved, and then some flowers and shrubs are transplanted, which makes them look vibrant.
Not far from entering the door, there is also a rockery and a pool. If you look in, you can see koi swimming leisurely.
Liu Qingshan pays more attention to the environment. Workers work and live here every day, so of course they should create a fresh and comfortable environment.
He first went to several major warehouses, all of which were strictly guarded and received raw materials from entering and leaving. They all had strict rules and regulations.
After all, wealth is moving, so from the root, it will eliminate people's luck mentality, so as not to have any problems and not be good-looking.
In the vault, Liu Qingshan also saw pieces of gold bricks placed neatly, even he was a little moved when he saw them.
Liu Qingshan and the others didn't go in, it was a big trouble. There was a metal detector at the door. Liu Qingshan opened the door and glanced in.
He checked the registration book again, and the records were all very detailed, both of them were signed by the two warehouse managers.
In the past two years, the price of gold has risen slightly, and it has exceeded 80 yuan per gram.
However, Liu Qingshan was able to enjoy a 20% discount on the purchase price of the Asian Games Organizing Committee, which was more than 60 per gram.
After hearing this, Hou San shook his head: "It's too expensive. The gold exchanged from the Russians is less than ten yuan per gram."
Cough, Anna coughed twice in her mouth to remind her.
Hou San quickly changed his words: "Haha, Soviet Union, Soviet Union."
Anna now knows that the word "Maozi" is somewhat derogatory.
Even Liu Qingshan was a little surprised at this price: "Is it so cheap, isn't the purity not enough?"
For example, 18K and 24K, the prices must be much different.
"Don't worry, it's all a thousand gold." The gold over there was all handled by Hou San himself, so of course he knew the most.
In the Far East, there are many gold mines, and they use food and daily necessities to barter, so the price difference is relatively large.
There was indeed chaos there, and many gold mines privately intercepted most of their gold production and sold them at low prices.
"How much have you saved?" Liu Qingshan couldn't help asking again. If the number was too small, it would be meaningless.
Hou San looked around and saw that there was no outsider, and then he said, "It looks like less than ten tons."
This number scared Liu Qingshan: "So many!"
Hou San smiled and said, "You don't ask us to collect the ruble of the Russians, so it will simply turn into gold. This thing is always hard currency."
I have to say that Hou San’s words make sense, even in troubled times, gold will still work well.
However, ten tons of gold are still a bit scary. Even at the purchase price of ten yuan per gram, it is worth over 100 million yuan.
If it is based on the market price, it will be one billion!
Liu Qingshan also waved his hand: "There are too many, I can't eat it now."
After all, Longteng Company only accounts for 10% of the shares in the jewelry processing factory.
"Just save it to you first, I see it is quite safe here."
Hou San said twice again that Longteng Company was founded by Liu Qingshan and also owned the most shares, so no one cared about this.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "Okay, then escort over then, remember to send more people."
Ten tons of gold sounds quite a lot, but it actually doesn’t occupy much space.
Several people walked forward again. Here were warehouses for storing jade, such as Hetian jade, jadeite, agate, etc., all in these warehouses.
It's still a little empty at the moment, mainly because the warehouse is really big.
However, Liu Qingshan believes that if you accumulate for a few years, it will gradually become more fulfilled.
In particular, the procurement channels for Hetian jade and jade have been opened, and as long as there is funds, they can be transported back continuously.
Taking advantage of the low price now, of course, the more inventory the better.
Then he went to the processing workshops and Liu Qingshan discovered that there were only 150 or 60 workers in the processing factory.
In addition to the designers brought back from Hong Kong Island by Hai Mingzhu, there are also many masters wearing work clothes.
Among them are jade carving masters and gold and silver jewelry craftsmen. Most of them are engaged in relatively high-end and fine manual operations.
As for those mechanical equipment, such as reverse molding, polishing, etc., they are mostly operated by young people.
"Oh, it turns out that there are so many processes to make a ring."
Only then did Anna open her eyes and witness the process of turning from a gold nugget into a ring.
First, we need to use a crucible to financialize the yellow. It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire. The main reason is that the temperature is not enough. Once the acetylene flame is burned under the crucible, the gold will be molten obediently.
In fact, there is also a ingredient here. After all, pure gold is too soft and can easily deform after processing into jewelry.
There are also many ways to make this ingredient, which gives some bad merchants the opportunity to cheat.
Of course, Liu Qingshan, the processing factory, has long set rules: it is necessary to ensure real materials.
Then the mold is turned back, and the prepared gold ingredients are filled into the gypsum casting mold using a centrifugal pouring machine to form a rough blank.
Then, after polishing, calendering, car blossoms and other processes, a beautiful gold ring was born.
If gems are inlaid, the craftsmanship will be more complicated.
Moreover, there will be certain losses during the entire processing process, which cannot be avoided at all.
Therefore, the price of gold and silver jewelry must be higher than the raw materials of gold and silver. If it is lower than the price of raw materials, there will be problems.
"Oh, so beautiful, Monkey Brother"
Anna's tone was a bit coquettish, and the title, also called the workers in the workshop, were laughing secretly.
Originally, a foreign girl was eye-catching enough, but she could speak Mandarin.
"You shouldn't be asked to watch the TV series "Journey to the West." Hou San muttered, and then coaxed his wife: "When the jewelry store opens tomorrow, Brother Monkey will buy it for you!"
Only then did Anna put the gold ring back, and then kissed Hou San on the face.
It would be bad to show off your food in person like this, and the worker would be distracted. Liu Qingshan hurriedly took them to another workshop.
In fact, what I just saw was only jewelry that is industrial process. The ones that are truly valuable or tested are those complex jewelry made purely by hand.
Afterwards, they went to the jade carving workshop and saw the green jade bracelets, Anna couldn't move.
Only then did Hou San realize that he was deceived: I shouldn’t have taken his wife to such a place, okay?
Everyone walked around and it was already noon, and the sound of ringing the bell came from the cafeteria.
The worker's lunch is solved in the factory because it has to undergo strict inspections once when leaving the factory, which is very troublesome.
As for dinner, my home is in the capital, and I have a commuter car to take it back to the city.
The rest were taken to the film and television city with a commuter car, and the food and accommodation were there.
Liu Qingshan and the others had lunch in the cafeteria. The food was pretty good, four dishes and one soup.
When it comes to eating and drinking, Liu Qingshan never deducts workers.
Exploiting workers is something that only the most incompetent boss will do.
After lunch, there is also a special lounge where older masters can take a nap.
Young people who are energetic will chat in groups or read books and newspapers by themselves.
