Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Chinese jewelry designer Zhao Xinqi has a high reputation in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Especially in the eyes of female artists, wearing her jewelry is regarded as a status symbol.

A little girl like Zhang Ruonan can't even get into the queue yet, let alone get to know this jewelry designer.

When she heard that Holly wanted her to take Zhao Xinqi's annual butterfly to the Cannes red carpet, she couldn't hold back her excitement and showed it.

Butterflies of the Year are not something that ordinary celebrities can own. Rich businessmen all over the world are queuing up. So far, no Chinese star has owned Butterflies of the Year. They are all collection-level jewelry created for princes, nobles, celebrities and wealthy businessmen.

She also knew that Holly wasn't giving it to her, but it was already very honorable for her to wear it on the red carpet.

After all, it was collectible jewelry worth eight or nine figures.

Zhang Ruonan looked at Holly with bright eyes and full of love.

Leaning in Holly's arms: "I don't know what language to express my feelings anymore."

"Then use practical actions?"

"No!" Zhang Ruonan shook his head and said, "Relatives came yesterday."

"Did I come at the wrong time, or did your relatives come at the wrong time?" Holly shook his head and smiled.

"Any time Mr. Huo comes is a good time." Zhang Ruonan kissed Holly's lips, "I can play other games with you."

Holly smiled and said, "Okay."

……

In the morning, after breakfast, the driver drove Holly and Zhang Ruonan to Zhao Xinqi's Shanghai jewelry studio.

Zhao Xinqi received the message and went downstairs to greet him. She hugged Holly politely and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm really sorry. I didn't receive him in person last time because I was on a business trip."

Holly smiled and said: "I understand, it's not easy to meet a great designer like you."

"Hahaha, Mr. Huo is making fun of me again." Zhao Xinqi took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Ruonan, "Hello, Miss Zhang."

"Hello, Cindy, I finally have the opportunity to meet you today." Zhang Ruonan expressed her admiration, "You are a jewelry designer I like very much."

He caressed his chest to show respect.

"Miss Zhang is overly praised." Zhao Xinqi invited, "Mr. Huo, I will take you to see the design draft."

"Hard."

Holly followed him into her office. She typed out the design draft and gave it to Holly, detailing her design inspiration.

"Mr. Huo, I have chosen the ocean as the theme of this annual butterfly. On the one hand, it has the meaning of marine environmental protection.

On the other hand, there is also an inspirational meaning. We all know that a butterfly cannot fly across the sea, but it is still colorful. "

Holly nodded.

The theme is not mentioned.

Good moral.

Holly looked at the design draft and said, "Are you hesitant about the raw materials?"

Zhao Xinqi nodded: "Blue can better represent the ocean, but the cost of full-body sapphire is too high. I also want to ask for your opinion."

Holly asked: "Have you calculated the budget?"

Zhao Xinqi said: "It's very high. If the original budget is followed, the market value of this butterfly will be close to nine figures, or even more than nine figures.

This is the most expensive of the annual butterflies I have created.

So I have to ask for your opinion. If we want to reduce the cost, we can use blue spinel or tanzanite instead, which can also show the desired color effect and the cost will be reduced by half.

You can also replace the rare blue diamond in the middle with a sapphire, and the cost can be reduced by half.

The last two to thirty million looked like. "

Holly smiled and said, "You are so considerate of me.

Thanks to Cindy for doing such a wealth of homework, but a small goal is acceptable to me.

Let’s go with the original plan, a combination of rare blue diamonds + sapphires. "

"With Mr. Huo's words, I dare to go ahead and do it." Zhao Xinqi said, "When the time comes, I will definitely invite international superstars to hold this annual butterfly press conference.

Earn enough face for Mr. Huo. "

Every time an annual butterfly comes out, she will hold a special press conference and invite many artists to the stage.

Only her annual butterfly has such an impact.Holly nodded: "Hard work."

Zhang Ruonan, who was sitting aside, was so surprised that he was speechless.

This means that when the time comes for the Cannes red carpet, she will attend wearing an art jewelry worth hundreds of millions.

Suddenly a little nervous.

In the past, even some big-name luxury jewelry brands rarely approached her, but now she can actually walk on the red carpet wearing a collection of jewelry worth hundreds of millions.

This kind of gap is hard to get used to for a while.

Instead, there was a little more tension.

I’m afraid I can’t afford such jewelry.

"By the way, this time I went to Australia and brought back a black opal, and I wanted to show it to you."

While she was still distracted, Holly had already handed another rare gem to Zhao Xinqi.

Zhao Xinqi took it.

Holly smiled and said, "Open it and take a look."

"Oh my God!" Zhao Xinqi opened it, covered her mouth and said in surprise, "It's unbelievable.

I didn’t expect that it would be you, Mr. Huo, who bought this 50-carat black opal.

What a surprise to me. "

"You also know this black opal?" Holly smiled.

"Of course, when it was dug out, it spread throughout the global jewelry circle. I just heard that it was finally bought by a Chinese buyer." Zhao Xinqi said, "Australia has not produced such a large piece of top-quality black opal for many years."

Holly smiled and said: "It seems that I brought it to you and found the right person. Tell me what you think?"

Zhao Xinqi said: "Does Mr. Huo want me to design it?"

Holly nodded.

Zhao Xinqi stroked her chest and said, "It's such an honor. I tend to design it as a pendant.

It’s just that I don’t have inspiration yet. It should be said that it deserves a higher level of design inspiration.

I need time to think. "

Holly said: "Looking forward to your design draft."

"Thank you Mr. Huo for your trust." Zhao Xinqi said, "Mr. Huo, to tell you the truth, I am also a loyal lover of opal gemstones. Its color changes are very beautiful.

But as you know, opal is an opal that breaks easily and is not suitable for art jewelry.

But your top-quality black opal satisfies all my imagination of opal jewelry, and I think I can come up with a stunning design draft. "

Listening to Zhao Xinqi's excitement, Zhang Ruonan vaguely felt that this gem was very expensive, and asked curiously, "Mr. Huo, how much did you pay for this gem?"

Holly said: “The European and American businessmen who participated in the bidding with me raised the price very high, bullying us because we do not have top jewelry brands in the country, and felt that we could not pay a high price.

When all the Chinese people present gave up, I bought it for US$27000 per carat. "

Zhang Ruonan was stunned for a moment.

One carat costs 27000 U.S. dollars. Counting 50 carats, it is equivalent to tens of millions of yuan.

The raw materials alone cost tens of millions, and coupled with the design and the matching of other gems and diamonds, the final product is at least half the price of a small target.

If it goes to auction, it must be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Holly continued: “It is also because of the stimulation of these European and American businessmen that I feel that there is a long way to go for domestic jewelry brands.

So I communicated with a Chinese teacher there and planned to buy an opal mine so that more top-quality black opal could flow into the Chinese market and interrupt the dominance of the European and American jewelry markets.

Of course, how much value these black opal gems can generate in China is inseparable from outstanding designers like Cindy. "

Zhang Ruonan looked at Holly. He went to Australia and brought back a tens of millions of raw gemstones. It was not enough, so he planned to buy another mine.

Whether it is the breaking of European and American market monopolies mentioned by Holly, or his financial resources.

It was no longer something that a little girl like her could understand.
