Chapter 387 - Trouble, Happiness

Ji Feng couldn't help but laugh. ”This little guy really has grown quite a bit. I remember the last time I saw her, she sometimes needed someone to feed her when she eats. Now, she can actually dress herself.”

The last time she saw Yao Yao, this little girl liked to learn how adults ate their meals by themselves, but she couldn't even learn how to use chopsticks. In the end, she could only use her little spoon, but because of this, she was unable to pick up some of the dishes.

Ji Feng didn't expect that by coming back this time, the little girl would already be able to dress herself. The growth of this child was really the same every day. Ji Feng couldn't help but feel that time had pa.s.sed by so quickly.

Thinking about it carefully, he had only used a few short years to grow from that good-for-nothing and self-abased, weak youth to this point. After that, he would soon enter the prime of his life.

”Oh right, you seem to have something on your mind?” Ji Feng suddenly asked, ”Did you encounter some trouble, or did you encounter some trouble?”

”Hmm?”

Qin Shujie was stunned, and subconsciously touched her own face. ”Did I show it very clearly?”

Ji Feng laughed, ”What? Do you have something on your mind that I can't tell? ”Looks like I'm right. Tell me what happened and see if I can help.”

Qin Shujie shook her head. ”Actually, it's not that big of a problem. It's just that we ran into a small problem at the company and haven't been able to find a suitable solution. That's why …”

Ji Feng immediately asked: ”What trouble did you encounter? Is it because the supply is nervous or because they have been suppressed by their compet.i.tors? ”

Qin Shujie owned a jewelry company, and it wasn't too big. In a large international city like Jiang Prefecture, her jewelry company could only be considered as having a decent profit, but it was still a long way from being a heavyweight.

Jewelry companies like these usually did not encounter any problems, the most common were the supply problems, and the exclusion and suppression of larger and more powerful jewelry companies.

After all, in the jewelry business, one had to have a guarantee on the stock of jade. Even if they couldn't get those top quality jade and jade stones, at least some of the top quality jade and jade stones could be obtained. But after the two previous betting sessions, Ji Feng understood that the current supply of top quality jade and jade stones was very limited, and almost all of the jewelry companies were out of stock.

As a result, the moment a piece of jade was found, it would immediately be bought by the jewelry company. If those small jewelry companies wanted to buy the jade, it would be difficult, so the pressure to survive was not small.

As for the compet.i.tion and suppression, it was even more natural.

Compet.i.tion existed in every industry, as did the jewellery industry. Considering the scale of Qin Shujie's jewelry company, it was only a small company in the jewelry industry. Real big companies were easily calculated in terms of hundreds of millions of dollars.

It was obvious that if any other company wanted to run down Qin Shujie's company, it would be a piece of cake.

Hence, if Ji Feng wanted to love her, there should be only these two possibilities. Otherwise, what problems would she encounter?

However, Qin Shujie shook her head when she heard this and said, ”No, although the supply is tight, the jade pieces you took out from Hangzhou City last time still have some stock. The high-end market can temporarily handle it, and the middle-lower market can also be obtained from other suppliers and operate normally.”

”As for the suppression from other companies... You don't do it, so you may not know that. ”

Qin Shujie said, ”Aren't we all facing compet.i.tion for business now? The jewelry industry is a bit better off, but the price is not transparent. Other than the gold and silver jewelry price being transparent, other things like jade or jade, the profit margin is very big. Even if other companies try to push them down, they will still be able to survive. ”

In fact, in every industry, the water is very deep, and so is the jewelry company, even deeper.

For precious metals like gold and silver, the prices of the various jewelry companies were about the same. Because the international gold prices were there, there was no difference at all. The only difference was the brand and reputation.

For example, some hundred-year-old shops, there was no need to mention their brands. Many consumers would rather believe that the gold sold in the banks was fake than pure gold.

In terms of suppression, those large companies could only suppress other small companies in this area at most.

However, it was a lot more expensive when it came to jewelry and jade. Not to mention that many jewelry companies would sell fake ones, just the prices of the purchases alone would be vastly different, and the prices of the sales would be vastly different. For example, if someone who wasn't short on money liked their own jade, as long as the price wasn't outrageously high, the other party would be able to accept it.

One could imagine how much profit there would be in the middle.

So in this respect, even if other large companies are excluded, they will not be of much use, unless the goods are held in check.

But the problem was, there was no problem with the supply for Qin Shujie's jewelry company.

Ji Feng had some doubts as he asked, ”Then what trouble did you run into?”

Qin Shujie said, ”To be honest, I'm not quite sure myself what kind of trouble I've encountered …”

”What's going on?” Ji Feng couldn't help but be taken aback. Qin Shujie didn't know either?

”It's like this. Last week, the company bought some goods from Beijing, but they were all detained before the transport even left Beijing. The reason they gave was that there might be a problem with the s.h.i.+pment and needed to be checked in detail. Also, the car was overloaded …”
