Nowadays, many businesses will carry out a series of hype in order to raise the quality of goods and earn more dividends, including some extremely successful cases of hypeHowever, hype is just hype after all, and people will know if it is true when they use it.
The five major commodities that once stepped on the peak because of hype, and later fell off the altar because of the insatiable greed of merchants, how many have you bought?
Speaking of dzi, I believe many people have some impression that when dzi appeared, it was not only loved by ordinary people, but also loved by celebrities.
It's like when dzi was in full swingThe sky-high dzi worn by kung fu superstar Jet Li is quite expensive
Dzi looks like a stone with a unique pattern, why is it so popular?
The problem lies in the hype of the merchants, Dzi is produced in the ** region, which is a common local stone, after artificial polishing, and then polished into the shape of Dzi, so as to expose the unique texture of the stone.
And those who have a heart are interested in the local significance of dzi and its uniquenessPatterns and textures
In the mouths of people in the ** region, the textures shown on the dzi have different meanings, and the merchants exaggerate them when they promote them precisely because of their different meanings.
The originally ordinary stone, under the boast of the merchant,It is crowned with the effect of exorcism, and wearing dzi all year round can even attract wealth and blessing for people, and it is said that dzi can be used to town houses
For some superstitious people, the effect of the dzi becomes bigger at once, and according to the different textures on the dziMerchants also make up different meanings, such as it can bring luck to people, make people stand still in the workplace, be invincible in competitions, and so on
It is precisely because the dzi was hyped too much by the merchants, so when the dzi was popular,A dzi with a unique texture can even be sold for tens of millions, so it must not be something that ordinary people can buy
Compared to being able to sell so **,The profit of the merchant is afraid that it has reached hundreds of thousands of times the profit, or even millions of times the profit.
Nowadays, a dzi with a unique pattern ranges from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, and the price at that time can reach tens of millions**It can be imagined how big the profit is, and in time today's ** is so low, merchants still have to earn.
It is conceivable that when the dzi was prevalentAfter all, the dzi is polished out of ordinary stones, if it really has such a miraculous effect, I am afraid that it will resound throughout the country without the promotion of the merchants
It is claimed that a stamp that can be exchanged for a house, but now it has fallen into a trough, and it can't even go fast according to the value of the normal *** stamp.
According to statistics,A total of 27 sets of stamps will be issued in 2023, and the value of these stamps is truly staggering, with the face value of stamps being only hundreds of dollars for the whole year**
Thinking back to the past, one stamp for one suite, now it's really bleak.
Just like in the TV series,When a monkey stamp appeared in the stamp market, it was scrambling for major vendors, and even soared to millions of dollars, so ** for the price at the end of the last century, not to mention the dominant side, it is also a wealth of the sky.
But with the changing times, people use stamps very rarelyAnd for major collectors, the value of stamps is obviously not comparable to that of ancient artifacts
Even if some people still like to collect stamps, but after all, stamps are paper, which is more troublesome to preserve, and the slightest carelessness will face corrosion and decay.
Speaking of jade, then it must be a lot of money, and it is still possible to sell a piece of jade with extremely excellent color for tens of millions.
Although the jade market is not as prosperous as it used to be, the profits are quite high.
The ** of jade is determined by its color, just like the well-known oneImperial green jadeite, Hetian jadeWait a minute.
And Huanglongyu's ** also began more than ten years ago**, in the ancient royal family, yellow is quite noble, and it is precisely because of this that in the era of Huanglongyu's popularity, ** is also crazy growth.
When Huanglongyu was first discovered, it was only a few yuan, just like people's common decorations
Later, some well-intentioned people sent Huanglongyu to a special appraisal agency for identification, because of its unique color and texture, it began to attract attention.
While**From a few yuan** to thousands of yuan per kilogram, such a high ** naturally attracts more people's attention
People began to frantically hoard Huanglongyu, wanting to realize their dream of getting richThe oversaturated market has produced a series of effects, and the originally high ** has been reversed several times, and gradually returned to the original price
Huanglongyu is no longer called jade, but one of the common stone products, and now Huanglongyu can be seen in many stalls, without the value of jade.
In the tea culture, China said second, presumably no one dared to say first, in ancient times people loved to drink tea, the inheritance of tea culture can be said to be ancient to the present.
The most precious tea in the world is also made in China, likeThere are only two long-aged Yunnan gourd tribute tea in China, which can be described as extremely precious and well-knownThe mother tree of Wuyi Mountain is a big red robe, and now it is even more priceless
Pu-erh tea is also one of the favorite teas, because of the longer the shelf life of Poul, and there are rumors that the longer Pu-erh tea is stored, the more valuable it is, and its value is quite high.
Pu'er tea generally appears in people's eyes in the form of tea cakes, tea bricks or tea dumplingsWhen people make Pu'er tea, they will pry off the appropriate amount from the seed, and then store it before brewing.
After all, it is impossible to drink a tea cake at one time, so it is particularly important to preserve, after all, if the tea is damp, it is very easy to mold, which will not only affect the taste of tea, but also cause harm to the human body.
The value of Pu'er tea is also constantly improving and rising, coupled with the long shelf life of Pu'er tea, people who love tea will also stock up on some Pu'er tea.
According to statistics, the annual output of Pu'er tea is as high as more than 100,000 tons, but a cake of normal-sized Pu'er tea, people have to drink it for about a month, which leads to Pu'er teaOverproduction, which in turn leads to a decrease in the number of products
And that's not all,Some merchants see that the sales of Pu'er tea are so high, and they will sell them as shoddy, which is also one of the reasons for the price reduction of Pu'er tea.
Shoes are an indispensable daily necessities in people's lives, ordinary people will buy a few pairs of shoes every year, but now some people who love shoes will collect all kinds of shoes, just like cultural relics, put them in the cabinet for people to visit.
In the eyes of merchants,This act of collecting can earn them more money, in order to satisfy those collectors,Some of the world's limited-edition sneakers have appeared in people's realizationsAlthough these sneakers can also be worn, their collectible significance is even greater for collectors.
There is no other reasonCollectors feel that these sneakers should be collected, but this is obviously at odds with the meaning of the shoe
In the eyes of ordinary people, the existence of shoes is not for people to wear
It is precisely because of the different concepts that people who collect shoes are either rich or expensive, because ordinary people really can't afford to consumeA pair of sneakers sells for tens of thousands, and they can't be worn, and it doesn't make much sense for ordinary people to buy them
And even if you have the money to buy it, you must feel distressed if you wear it out.
Collecting shoes was very popular, and some ordinary workers at that time were even willing to spend a month's or even a few months' wages for a pair of shoes.
With the gradual change of people's consumption concept, consumers are not as blind as before, and are more inclined to the necessities of life, non-essential goods, and few people will buy them.
Every commodity has its meaning of existence, but the amount that people consume in their lives is certain, and those items that once exploded for a while, but eventually fell to the altar, are all caused by the production far exceeding the needs of the market.
And consumers should also treat things rationally, don't blindly follow the trend, life wants to be better, people still have to know how to trickle the water, accumulate more savings, in exchange for a better life.
