The tibetans, which used to move tens of thousands or even millions of dollars, are now down to thousands of dollars and are still under-served. The owners of the tibetan stockbreeding are either struggling to survive, or have moved on
In recent years, information on “handing the heat, some of which has turned into hot pot material” has been of great interest online。
A recent interview with the chinese journal of commerce and industry revealed that in shaanxi, though not with such fate, tibetans have experienced a decline in prices and low levels of interest in recent years. In addition, a number of tibetan exhibitions have been held in xi'an and have now been discontinued。
According to industry sources, the hide-and-seek business has now returned to rationality, “the playing field, the trade-offs, the price of real quality remains high and the polarization is more pronounced”。
Sian has spent $12 million on the garden to bring in a hideout
At the beginning of may, the chinese merchant newspaper was approached by a large number of journalists for permission to visit the school after contacting one of its collectors。
The farm was located in the xian district of the mayor of xian and there were no words related to the hideout outside. Master liu, who was guarding the estate, opened the door to receive "no outsiders are allowed to enter, either familiar or afraid of hiding and hurting." he laughed。
The estate is about 20 acres, with chains attached to the wall of the backyard sanctuaries. Every morning, master liu prepares a roasted chicken rack for tibetans, “an adult must eat about one and a half pounds a day”. It was described that the head of the gardener, mr. Lu, had bought a collection of dumplings in about 2010, as early as five, and had fallen four, totalling nine. "sale from tibet, it took a lot of money." master liu said。
Approaching the back door of the estate, they heard barking before they saw the hide. All three gates were locked with heavy iron, and the second was just opened, and the barbed-wire barbed-wire barbed in the nose. These adults are half tall and fierce。
How much do dogs cost? Master liu said he didn't count, but ordinary people couldn't afford it. In addition to eating chicken racks, they have to go out regularly to buy dog food. “i like this, i play, i don't buy.” mr. Lu, the head of the hideout, said:。
At another hideaway farm on the roundabout road in the changan district, outdoor advertisements with large collections of pictures can be seen on the side of the road, but the gate is locked. According to nearby villagers, the site rarely opens doors, “it is said that there is a hideout inside, which is not allowed in at all”。
According to industry sources, in 2013, a tibetan plant was imported from beijing at a cost of $12 million from a si-an park, which caused an industry boom。
A thousand won't pay for it
About eight years ago, wang li (alias) bought a collection of tibetans from tibet to join the xi'an army. “at the earliest, calls were made for prices and car visits were made. I brought it in to make some money, but i couldn't sell it later, and i asked for more." wang li said。
“in the seven or eight years since the birth of the treasure, this has been the worst year in the tibetan market.” wang li said that two or three years earlier he had raised 70 or 80 tibetans, but then felt that the market was getting worse and sold most, leaving only a dozen. This year, the market prices for small tibetans for several months were generally around $56,000, while individual good ones were around $1,000 and the difference of $23,000 was sold. But two years ago, prices generally stood at $120,000, which could be said to have fallen by at least half。
"the market is in a bad state, and i don't know what's coming." he lamented that all that could be maintained now were powerful or pure lovers, not for sale, mainly for fun。
The chinese businessman newspaper also consulted with a number of employers who had recently publicly sold the treasure on the internet, and one of the owners of the rooster said that there were several low prices for post-partum mothers at prices ranging from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the colour of the product. Another owner, mr. Zhu, claimed that because he was out of work and had no time to feed, he was treated at a civilian price of $1,000, which was no more than a dog's food. Even so, it's too expensive. Mr. Zhu said that in three months, only three of the 14 cubs had been sold。
How many people do you have to hide? In the interview, everyone was confused. It is certain, however, that there are hiding farms in almost all parts of the province, such as the changan district, the district and the high hill, near xian, while in the north, such as the yanan and the zirin forest, the han and the ankang areas, the farms are largely in the suburbs or deep mountains。
The industry claims that the sale of the stash as dog meat has a negative impact on the industry
There were mixed accounts of price increases and declines; the news that the price of heaven had turned into a hotpot was also seen as a catch. But the collection, which has been known as the market barometer, has now been discontinued。
For example, at the first collection exhibition in 2013 in the province of xuanxi, a contest was held between friends from gansu, shandong, henan, hebei, shanxi, qinghai, xinjiang, etc. In addition to using helicopters for the collection, there were more than 10 transactions. In april 2014, at the second collection fair in shaanxi province, more than 40 gardens and nearly 300 collections from beijing, tianjin and gansu participated in the exhibition, with a turnover of 15 at a new high, while the price of a collection called 12 million was agitated. This was preceded by a number of exhibitions organized by different institutions。
A man replied that there was no intention to hold a tibetan exhibition in shaanxi this year and that it was not convenient to reveal the reasons for this. This person denied whether the lack of sales and the reluctance of farming enterprises to participate would lead to closure。
According to informed sources, the purpose of the exhibition was to quickly raise the amount of gold in the trade by using some of the so-called well-known collection exhibitions. These people are reluctant to acknowledge the decline in market prices in order to maintain favourable market prices, which are now weak。
Actually, it's not just the cooling of the west market. According to media reports, nearly half of the 95 tibetan stockbreeders in tibet were bankrupt from 2013 to the present, and the market for the pure seedlings of chengdu became a pet and aquarium fair. An unnamed member of the tibetan association of shaanxi province also stated that the practice of selling tibetans as dog meat had a negative impact on the industry. “it is incorrect to consider the collection as a high-end luxury. In the view of those who really love it, it is not about making money, nor about price fluctuations, that it is a personal hobby.” according to the source, within the hide-and-seek circle, the trade in the hide-and-seek is called a “reconversion”. According to this source, the number of “revolutionary meetings” in tibet has not decreased since this year, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to millions depending on the size of the collection, its combination, etc。
"a million dollars sold before, 89 out of 10 were outsiders."
In fact, even the $12 million stash was not uncommon throughout the country。
From time to time, the tibetan community has heard the news that a tibetan has made a deal of millions or even millions of dollars. Bank remittances were also made public in order to show that the bid was not poor. But such a high level of transactions has been underheard for two years. In response, the sian industry revealed that, in previous years, the parties had set up a deal of millions or even tens of millions in order to raise the price of tibetans in the hot market. Even if the money orders were made public, they could be returned in private, even if the same employer was behind the transaction. At the height of the past few years, the real price for the best hideout was only $3. 5 million. And there are millions of dollars sold, and it's estimated that 89 out of 10 people don't know what to do。
“four or five years ago, it was a new wave, with a sense of identity and a genuine preference, but recently prices have fallen by almost one third.” zhang's manager, who currently runs a collection in ellewood, also says that when the market is good, many merchants and breeders are making money, selling counterfeits, messing up the market and hurting some of the people who really like to hide them, “everyone buys them back at a very high price and they don't buy them much, so the number of people who buy them is getting smaller”. In addition, news of tibetan attacks, bites and even bites of the dead continues to be reported, undermining the enthusiasm for tibetans。
Mr. Zhu of xianyang raised more than 200 tibetans, and he was not convinced by the statement that prices were falling, “good prices did not fall, poor prices fell, and overall they were polarized”。
In addition, it is more common to ask for prices in the ring. Mr. Horse, who has been growing for many years, has said that for example, he is asking for twenty-three thousand dollars in his pocket, and then, for the sake of his friends, he's making himself seem like a very good man of love. In fact, his stash was sold for $35,000, even cheaper。
There was a capital interest in the park
Owing to the high cost of farming and the poor marketing, some tibetan farms have been shrinking and some have even closed down。
"i used to, i don't anymore." two years ago, mr. Sun, who raised the tibetan plant in yanan, stated that at least five or six of the gardens he knew were closed, and that it was also hard to survive, either to reduce the number, to stop planting this year and to reduce the number of births。
However, other farm owners have indicated that the price of the stash, although falling, is one-point price and that the price of the pure seed is still strong, ranging from $120,000 to $100,000. One of the highest-priced tibetans he sold this year was $180,000, and he said, "the boss likes and doesn't care about the tens of thousands."。
The tibetan market is cooling down, and many industry people are impressed. The owner of the plant said that it was divided into native pures and modified species, which could be confirmed by dna tests, but that the improved hides were not recognized by the practitioners because of their multiplicity. The price of the improved scavengers rose when the market burst in previous years, and the price is not much different from that of ordinary dogs, so it is not surprising to improve the scavengers. The overheating of previous years did not exclude artificial fire, combined with the exploitation of wealth by a few, and was therefore the subject of some speculative capital。
“according to the urban ban on big dogs, the market for luxury goods has been depressed, and the heat of hiding has finally returned to reason.” lou, for one, said. Similarly, in the view of the crown, “the industry can only develop in a more healthy manner by squeezing out bubbles”
