Chapter 699 Another idea
Li Zhongxin feels that he and Masako Mitsui have unique advantages when it comes to luxury goods. In terms of luxury goods, there are perfumes from France, bags from France, various famous brands from France, and
French red wine.
These things are all things that Mitsui Land wants to do in Tokyo. Since these things have to be done, then China's high-end art can also be done.
At this time, although some Chinese artworks were exported appropriately, they were not recognized by developed countries in terms of price or other aspects.
The most important point is that no company is willing to speculate on Chinese products. They are all trying their best to lower the price to import from China, and then sell them at dozens of times the profit.
Li Zhongxin had this idea, and he came up with it when he and Haruko were strolling around a handicraft store in Tokyo some time ago.
There are not many Chinese handicrafts in the Tokyo market, and the quality is not that high-end. The price sold in the market is only several times higher than that of domestic works of art, which is not what Li Zhongxin thought.
It must be in heaven and on earth.
Those high-end works of art in China should not be sold at such low prices. He will use his efforts to turn the high-end works of art in China into world-class works of art so that people all over the world can know these Chinese works.
High-end goods.
Mitsui Masako pondered for a moment, with a rather helpless expression on her face. She slowly said: "Tadashi! Although the proposal you mentioned is very good, this aspect is our shortcoming! China
Have you ever come into contact with artworks? Or do you have sufficient supply there?
Both aspects are important.
There are many types of luxury goods, such as the perfume and red wine that Jemino bought from France some time ago. At this time, the response in the market is quite good.
After all, Mitsui Land does not position art in its high-end market positioning. This kind of thing is different from antiques. Antiques have high collection value, and those things you mentioned are made of Su embroidery and tapestry.
, will continue to be produced in the future, and people will not have a strong desire to buy.
Those things cannot show their identity, and there is no room or value for collection and appreciation. Although I have not seen the high-end handicrafts you mentioned, I can still imagine that if we develop such a thing, we can make a lot of money.
The likelihood of getting money is not very high.
Japanese and Chinese pursue different forms of art and believe in different things, so! I think the matter you mentioned is not suitable for the two of us to operate.
If you really want to make money, you can import large quantities of high-end wild products from China, or get that mysterious grape seed oil you mentioned.
Where are these things! I am sure that I will sell them, and I will sell them at a good price, but I am not optimistic about the artwork you mentioned. I hope Zhongxin can think about it carefully before giving me an answer."
Mitsui Masako spoke seriously to Li Zhongxin. She felt that the travel, cultural exchange, and handicraft plans proposed by Li Zhongxin were not good plans.
Mitsui Land now has a certain status and foundation in all levels of business. If these things are mixed in, it will not be of much help to Mitsui Land, and it will also require Mitsui Land to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, at least
At this juncture, she did not agree with Li Zhongxin's plan.
She believed that what Li Zhongxin said was definitely a stupid idea.
"Okay! Let's put this matter aside for now. What about this matter! The effect cannot be seen overnight, and what's more! Whether China can get the best quality handicrafts is still unknown. What about this matter! Just
Leave it to be studied later, let’s move on to the next topic.”
Li Zhongxin had already seen at this time that Mitsui Masako's views on the matters he raised were not good. Moreover, Mitsui Masako's words were reasonable and well-founded. Indeed, the ideas on these matters were not yet mature, but Li Zhongxin
Something that is taken for granted in the mind.
Li Zhongxin is not angry either, because Masako Mitsui talks about matters as they happen, which is normal. It is not a bad thing to have certain differences between partners. If they talk about it, there will be estrangement when the time comes to cooperate, or in other words,
If the other side doesn't contribute, it's really better to put everything on the table and say, if it works, it will work, if it doesn't, it won't work, and then we can slowly work together and study it.
"My second thought! Recently, I have been watching international news every day. I think Saudi Arabia has said that it will start to increase its efforts to produce oil. This news should be a huge impact on the oil market.
It is bad, but in the past few days, the price of oil has risen in the opposite direction to 31.75 US dollars a barrel. This thing is definitely quite abnormal.
Recently, where are the traders from our Tadashi Mitsui Banking Corporation? I decided to select a few people to specialize in oil futures.
I’m going to start shorting oil during this time period.”
Under normal circumstances, Li Zhongxin wanted to express this as his first thought to Masako Mitsui at the beginning, but! Li Zhongxin thought about it again and again, and put this matter behind things like tourism and cultural exchanges.
One! This will leave a buffer period for Mitsui Masako, and he will not have to engage in oil futures that are equivalent to foreign exchange transactions right away.
From stocks to foreign exchange trading, it can be said to be a cross-border trade, and what we are playing is a type of futures.
And from foreign exchange trading futures to oil futures, it is a new thing. It is said to be a cross-border! It is not completely a cross-border. After all, oil futures are also a kind of futures.
However, there are differences between oil futures and foreign exchange futures. They are two concepts and two systems. Apart from the similar capital amplification during trading and the similar trading time, there is not much relationship between them.
.
Li Zhongxin was not as sure about oil futures as he was about foreign exchange trading.
Because when Li Zhongxin was doing trade with Japan, he had some knowledge of the Plaza Accord. When he was in China in later generations, Chinese people often criticized this matter, so he knew more.
