When we walked into a gold shop, we not only saw the gold in the window, but also saw many jewels, such as jade, jadeite and agate. In the jewelry industry, gold is valuable and jewelry is priceless, so the prices of jadeite, jadeite and agate are not as limited as gold. It's hard to say how much jade jewelry is worth, but many rich people don't mind. Therefore, as long as you make a slight adjustment on the basis of the purchase price of the gold shop, you can make a little profit.
Not only that, some gold shops in tourist attractions also cooperate with local tour guides to guide tourists to spend. We all know the sales ability of gold shop assistants. They usually don't sell low-profit gold, but sell more jewelry to tourists. With the help of tour guides, many jewels can be sold to tourists at prices far exceeding their costs. Most travelers have similar experiences. At that time, some jewels and jade articles were worth tens of thousands of yuan. In fact, the prices of jadeite, jewels and diamonds cannot give a very accurate figure.
Therefore, part of the profit source of the gold shop is not transparent gold, but other jewelry in the store. Therefore, even if the operation of the gold shop is slow, it will not affect the profit of the gold shop. As consumers, we should keep our eyes open and buy jewelry at the right price.
In addition, making money from purity is also one aspect. They recycle gold at a low price. Generally, people who are in urgent need of money at home will choose to go to the gold shop to exchange money, and then the gold shop will sell it at a high price. When the price of gold is low, they will buy in large quantities and sell after the price rises. This mainly depends on the financial strength. In addition, the gold shop will also earn processing fees, loss fees and cleaning fees, although some steps are free. Actually, this piece is very profitable. When your jewelry is washed, you will find that there are fewer grams. ...
Although the profit rate is not high, the profit value of gold jewelry is still great. Gold itself has value preservation, and it is bought in large quantities, especially small ornaments such as earrings, rings and bracelets. And the manual profit will be higher (about 40% at most), which is basically very profitable.
For example, the general profit of silver is between 50% and 70%, far exceeding that of gold. However, because the value of silver itself is not high (the international price of Qianzu Silver 999 is only 5-6 yuan/gram), selling a piece of jewelry is only tens of hundreds; Although the profit rate of gold is low, it costs tens of thousands of yuan to sell one piece, so selling silver jewelry is far less profitable than selling gold.
Since gold shops can exist for a long time, even more and more, it shows that they are profitable, but what you see with your eyes is only superficial.
