When you buy jadeite in a mall, where does the money go?

In the Internet age, everything becomes transparent. The store business is not good. Daily promotions are not as good as Tmall’s Double Eleven promotion. However, most people buy jadeite in shopping malls or trading markets, and many people would rather spend more money just to have peace of mind.

My friend, times have changed, why are you still contributing to the development of shopping malls? Today I will show you who the money spent on jadeite in shopping malls ends up going into.

When buying jadeite, what are you afraid of? Fake jadeite, being cheated, or being dazzled by the random price. In the mall you can see the shops, meet the salespeople, see real items with clearly marked prices, all of which make you feel at ease. However, if you ask the salesperson to talk about the professional knowledge of jadeite's quality, color, old mines and new mines, the salesperson may not be able to explain it in a comprehensive manner. Shopping mall salespeople still pay more attention to sales performance.

I will not talk about professional knowledge for now, and first take a look at the interest links that a piece of jade has to go through to enter the shopping mall.

Many of the jadeite sold in shopping malls are purchased directly from factory stores in Ruili, Yunnan. These finished products have invisibly added many layers of profit, including the cost and risk of cutting the raw stone, cutting, polishing, carving, tariffs, transportation, etc. After the finished products enter the shopping mall, the merchants do not just run errands, because the shopping mall has to pay store fees, salesperson commissions, media advertising, taxes, etc. With costs so high, shopping malls must find ways to make money back from you.

These also omit the steps where middlemen add price marks, so when you buy jade, you are paying money to everyone in the process.

If you go directly to the trading market in Yunnan to buy instead of going to the mall, you may have overlooked one point: customers who do not understand the inside story of jade trading are too easy to be "slaughtered".

In the jade trading market where prices are negotiable, merchants have been selling jade for so many years that they can tell what kind of jade you want to buy or can buy just by looking at your clothes or the moment you open your mouth. Jade is worth what you pay for, and merchants will not do business at a loss. The general routine is to show you a high-priced jade, and then tell you that the price is negotiable. If the price you quote is higher than the merchant's psychological price, the merchant basically believes that you are a fat sheep, and then introduce some other styles, bargain with you for a long time, and still sell it to you reluctantly. You think you got a bargain, and the merchant is even more delighted. If your offer is far below his expectations, then you are in trouble. Only when the price is given in one step will the merchant take you seriously. This requires you not only to understand the market, but also to understand jadeite.

Therefore, when buying jadeite, you need to communicate and learn more with experienced experts and master certain identification methods so that you can pay less tuition and buy jadeite at a reasonable price. But if you are a wealthy person and you see jadeite you like in the mall, you can buy it to avoid regrets and sleepless nights.
