Over the years, all resource-based items have gone up in price. In China, the price of jade soared across the board, and turquoise played the leading role. Why does turquoise become a typical example of price increase? As long as we analyze it carefully, it is not difficult for us to find various reasons for the increase in stimulating demand.

Reasons for stimulating price increases

Economic growth stimulated demand.

China's economic growth has increased the demand (consumption, investment, collection, etc.). ), and the Wan Wen market is booming. People pursue high-grade turquoise, thus stimulating its price increase.

It can be seen from the Wanwen jewelry market all over the country that in the past few years, many people have never put turquoise products in their stores. However, in recent years, turquoise has become a standard in stores in Wan Wen, and the number of employees in Shiyan has soared from hundreds in 2006 to tens of thousands.

The impact of rising prices.

With the economic transformation in China, the rising of prices, processing costs and wages is an inevitable trend. In order to guard against inflation risk and seek for preservation and investment channels, people choose turquoise.

Inflow of hot money and hot money

For the purpose of investment and speculation, in recent years, many bosses engaged in coal, minerals, real estate, construction and processing industries have flooded into the turquoise industry, raising the price of turquoise.

They don't know much about the turquoise industry, but with their intuition about the market economy and their overall understanding of the history of turquoise price changes in the past, driven by the desire to make a fortune, they dare to spend a lot of money to snap up "high-end goods", and China people raise prices for each other, which leads to the skyrocketing price of turquoise.

For example, some bosses in the processing industry think that it is less profitable to do business, and the technology is difficult, the technological process is complex, the processing cycle is long, and the profit is far less than the speculative income. However, if the upstream turquoise raw materials are collected from the beginning, the increase in raw material prices will easily double the profits of enterprises.

In addition, a large number of other Wan Wen industry practitioners poured in. Due to the influence of the general trend of Wan Wen industry, after the demand for turquoise increased greatly, many foreigners engaged in Wan Wen industries such as jade, beeswax and beads rented houses in Shiyan for a long time and joined the turquoise industry.

Secondly, people from other local industries poured into the turquoise industry, trying to get a slice of it under the temptation of making money dreams and the inspiration of real cases around them. At the same time, the development of information technology has also provided convenience for these people. With mobile phones, they can start a business and pursue the legendary high profits with their dreams.

Due to the influx of these "laymen", the investment and collection of turquoise have been deformed, which has made the merchants in the industry complain and made consumers more daunting.

limited resources

70% of turquoise in the world comes from Shiyan, and Qin ancient mining area is the largest mining area. After hundreds of years of mining, especially large-scale excavation in recent decades, high-quality turquoise is indeed becoming more and more scarce. The uniqueness and non-renewability of resources make the price of turquoise rise.

Resource control is an important driving force.

Because the market value of turquoise is further recognized and the huge market demand is further felt, the government legislates to strengthen the control of turquoise resources, close mines, bid for mining rights, and limit mining, stipulating that turquoise raw materials must be auctioned and sold, which greatly increases its cost.

Other reasons

The industrial chain's "picking" of turquoise raw materials and finished products, the price of raw materials itself is outrageous, but even if it has to be changed hands at least 3-4 times in the country of origin before it can reach consumers, it has become a factor in the price increase of turquoise.

According to the rising price of jade in recent 30 years, the national economy is bound to move forward, and the national conditions and customs of China people who love, admire and hide jade have a long history. As long as there are no unpredictable or uncontrollable major events, the author thinks that there is still room for the price of turquoise to rise, but it is normal to rise steadily and slowly.
