Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan decided to ask her master, Master Zhongshan, for help.

Master Zhongshan is an old man with profound attainments in jewelry design and craftsmanship. His wisdom and experience can often solve seemingly unsolvable problems.

Zhou Wanwan called Master Zhongshan and briefly explained their current predicament.

After listening to this, Master Zhongshan paused for a moment and said, "Wanwan, your problem is that you pursue perfection too much and ignore the balance between cost and market. Bring Qianqian to my place tomorrow afternoon and we will discuss this together."

The next afternoon, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian came to Master Zhongshan's studio.

The studio is filled with various jewelry and handicrafts, and Master Zhongshan's award certificates and photos are hung on the walls.

Master Sun Yat-sen sat at a rustic wooden table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and greeted them with a smile.

"Master, we really don't know what to do." Zhou Wanwan said straight to the point.

Master Zhongshan nodded and said, "I understand your dilemma. You are pursuing innovation, but innovation does not mean sacrificing cost and market acceptance."

Qianqian interrupted, "But we've tried many methods, but we haven't found a solution that can maintain the fragrance while reducing costs."

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "Your problem is that you rely too much on high technology and expensive materials. Sometimes, the simplest method is the most effective."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

Master Zhongshan continued, "Have you ever wondered why the scent of coconut is so popular? Because it is natural, fresh and gives people a comfortable feeling. The reason why your bracelets are popular is also because of their beauty and texture."

Master Zhongshan stood up, walked to a display cabinet, and took out an ordinary crystal bracelet. "You see, this bracelet is nothing special, but it is still very popular. Why? Because it is simple and pure."

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully, "Master, do you mean that we should not pursue complicated craftsmanship too much, but return to the beauty of the bracelet itself?"

Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded. "That's right. Your bracelets are already beautiful, why do you need to add complicated scent craftsmanship? You can try a simpler method, such as making changes to the bracelet packaging."

Qianqian's eyes lit up. "Packaging? You mean, we can add the scent of coconut to the packaging?"

Master Zhongshan nodded. "That's right. You can add coconut-scented desiccant to the packaging box, or spray coconut essential oil on the wrapping paper."

“This way, when customers open the package, they can smell the scent of coconut, while the bracelet itself still retains its original beauty.”

After listening to this, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian suddenly understood.

They realized that they had been pursuing an impossible perfection and overlooking the simplest, most effective solutions.

"Master, you are so awesome!" Qianqian said excitedly.

Master Zhongshan waved his hand and said, "This is not profound wisdom, but just the accumulation of experience. You are still young and have a lot to learn. Remember, innovation does not mean complexity. Sometimes, the simplest method can impress people the most."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian thanked Master Zhongshan gratefully and returned to the jewelry store with new ideas.

They immediately began designing new packaging solutions and added coconut-scented desiccant to the boxes.

A few days later, the first batch of bracelets with coconut scented packaging came on the market.

Customers raved about this novel packaging method, and bracelet sales increased significantly.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. They realized that sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective.

However, just when they thought everything was going well, a new problem arose.

Some customers complained that the fragrance in the packaging was too strong and even pungent. Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian were in trouble again.

"What should we do?" Qianqian asked anxiously.

Zhou Wanwan pondered for a moment, "We can't give up, but we need to find a more suitable fragrance concentration."

They began trying to adjust the scent concentration, but each attempt ended in failure.

Zhou Wanwan called Master Zhongshan again, hoping that he could give her guidance again.

After listening to this, Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "Wanwan, your problem is that you pursue perfection too much and ignore the feelings of the customers. Sometimes, moderate compromise is also a kind of wisdom."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian came to Master Zhongshan's studio again. Master Zhongshan took out a small bottle containing a light yellow liquid.

"What is this?" Zhou Wanwan asked curiously.

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "This is a natural fragrance. Its fragrance is very soft and not too strong. You can try adding it to the packaging box."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian added this natural flavor to the packaging box according to Master Zhongshan's advice.

Sure enough, the scent became soft and fresh, and customers were very satisfied with the new packaging.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. They realized that innovation does not mean pursuing perfection, but finding a balance between cost, market and customer experience.

"Master, you are so awesome!" Qianqian exclaimed again.

Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded, "This is not some profound wisdom, but just the accumulation of experience. You are still young and have a lot to learn."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian thanked Master Zhongshan gratefully and returned to the jewelry store with new ideas.

They realize that the road to innovation is full of challenges, but as long as they remain humble and open-minded, they can always find solutions to the problems.
