Sihui is "the hometown of jade in China" and "the jade processing base in China". In Sihui, an industrial development pattern of acquisition, processing and sales has been formed, including jade street, jade city, skylight market and other jade business places.
It is understood that there are more than 80,000 local jade employees, the annual jade processing capacity exceeds 7,500 tons, and the annual sales exceed1500 million yuan. Products sell well all over the country, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other regions, and jade industry has become a new bright spot to stimulate local economic growth.
Following the naming of Guangdong Sihui as "China Emerald (Jade) Processing Base" by the Gold, Silver and Jewelry Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce in 2005, in mid-June last year 165438+ 10, Sihui Municipal Government and the Gold, Silver and Jewelry Chamber of Commerce jointly held the first large-scale, high-standard and professional event in China.
China (Sihui) Jade Expo, Jade Exhibition, Jade Boutique Selection, Jade Jewelry Summit Forum, Jade Jade Auction and other activities triggered a jade craze in Sihui.
Jade from other places will be a perfect tool.
Sihui, which does not produce jade, has become the hometown of jade and the processing base of jade. Its successful experience has attracted the attention of the society and people in the industry, and there is a saying that "jade from other places will become a tool" It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, many court jade craftsmen went into exile among the people. Some jade craftsmen "flew south" to Guangzhou to run jade business, and some young people from Sihui followed them as apprentices. Since then, in order to avoid the disaster of war, many people returned to their hometown Sihui, and these people also brought jade processing technology back to Sihui and gradually developed it.
At present, 70% of jade products in China are produced in Sihui, Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and other jade sales markets. Most of the products come from Sihui, and the products are also exported to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions. According to statistics, by 2006, the number of shops in sihui jade has grown to nearly 1 0,000, and there are more than 4,000 jade processing plants with more than 80,000 employees, with an annual processing capacity of more than 7,000 tons and annual sales of10.50 billion yuan. Walking in sihui jade Street, you can hear the sound of cars and jades everywhere, and the "hometown of jades in China" is well-deserved.
