"At this time of the year, jade buyers across the country have already stepped through the threshold, but this year, we can't see people coming." The reporter recently entered Yangzhou's largest jade processing base, Bayou Town, Guangling District, along the street, jade processing shops. Many did not open the door. Pushing open the door of a jade shop in a shop, I saw that there were 8 jade processing consoles in the house, but only two or three jade craftsmen were inadvertently processing. Boss Wu Jun introduced that their stores mainly deal with the sales of low-end Qinghai jade pendants. Since the second half of last year, they have clearly felt that the products are not sold and orders are greatly reduced. Since October last year, in the main jade materials market in Xinjiang and other countries, the price of nephrite such as Qinghai jade has changed from unilateral to divergent, and the price of high-quality white jade has continued to rise, while the market coverage of medium and low-grade white jade Then there is a fall. As the middle and low grade Qinghai jade is not recognized by the consumer market, the price has dropped from 3,000 yuan to nearly 2,000 yuan, which has shrunk by a third. Li Xiangzhuang, a well-known domestic white jade, also has a jade processing factory in Wantou. In 2008, after his operation, Qinghaiyu was successfully used to make medals for the Beijing Olympic Games. Since then, the price of Qinghai jade has taken off all the way, and has risen more than 10 times in three years. But now he does not understand the trend of Qinghai jade price: "Now making jade is not only difficult to make money, but also difficult to turn around." He told reporters that the price of high-grade Qinghai white jade has now reached more than 5,000 yuan a kilogram, but also In the upswing, every piece of material means millions of investments. "From jade to jade and then to the return of funds, the time here can be said for a few years. If the high-priced materials are not available, then the funds will be "freeze" forever." Let Li Xiangzhuang The pressure is also the processing cost. He calculated the account for the reporter, processing a 50 cm high-quality white jade bottle, the three basic processes of blanking, drawing and polishing. The set will cost 380,000 yuan in labor costs. The processing cost of quality was less than 30,000 yuan three years ago. "So, if you don't have 5 times the cash flow of the capital, you can't run it." Li Xiangzhuang didn't sell a big piece this year, and a piece of jade didn't dare to enter. "Hetian jade, Yangzhou workers." As the source of "Yangzhou workers", the Bayou jade processing industry has become an important industry for the people to survive. More than 900 of the more than 6,000 households in the town are engaged in jade processing and sales, and there are thousands of jade craftsmen and apprentices from all over the country. The processing of the Wantou jadeware suffered from “cold springâ€, which aroused the attention of the local government. In addition to guiding the jade processing enterprises to jointly purchase jade raw materials through shareholding cooperation to maintain normal capital flow, the town government is still embarking on a new round of marketing and expansion of the jade trading market to further launch the brand of Wantou jade processing and broaden the scope. The sales of Wantou jade.
