Shopping return difficult lies in the black chain

It's hard to imagine a piece of Jadeite jade, shopping for travel rebates as high as 85%, if planing to go shopping the store's rent, salaries of sales personnel and store profit, this jade the real value or how much is left? 1%? 5%?

According to press reports in Yunnan province, the tourism industry, not only is the Emerald, huanglong jade, silver, chocolate, coffee and rebates. Rebate rate is normally 60% or 70%, and less 20%. Because there is such a huge black interests behind chain, Yunnan tourism industry insiders say, visitors want to return is difficult because return means that the relevant chain of all beneficiaries to spit into his mouth and flesh eating out, they would find other reasons to block.
