Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Qianqian, what do you think of the market prospects of this pair of couple bracelets?"

Qianqian pondered for a moment and said, "Wanwan, I think this pair of couple bracelets has a very good market prospect. Young people nowadays like couple items, and your pair of crocodile bracelets just meets their needs. However, you have to do market research first to see how consumers react."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, already having an idea in mind.

She decided to try selling the couple's bracelets in her store first to see how customers would react.

If the response is good, she will consider making it with gemstones.

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan tried selling couple bracelets in the store.

To her surprise, the bracelets sold surprisingly well. Many customers praised the couple's bracelets, and some even placed orders on the spot.

Zhou Wanwan was excited because she knew that her design had once again been recognized by the market.

She decided to strike while the iron was hot and started making real couple bracelets with gemstones.

Zhou Wanwan decided to take the design of couple bracelets to a new level, and she decided to use gemstones to create this pair of couple bracelets.

She knew that this would require not only exquisite craftsmanship but also a huge amount of capital investment.

To ensure everything went well, she decided to consult her teacher, Master Zhongshan.

Master Zhongshan is an internationally renowned jewelry designer, and his works often cause a sensation at major jewelry exhibitions.

Zhou Wanwan has always regarded him as a role model, and this time she hopes to get guidance from the teacher.

Zhou Wanwan came to Master Zhongshan's studio with the design drawings and a nervous heart.

Master Zhongshan's studio is located in an old building in the city center. The interior decoration is elegant and full of artistic atmosphere.

Zhou Wanwan knocked on the door gently and heard a low voice "Come in" from inside.

She pushed open the door and saw Master Zhongshan sitting at his workbench, concentrating on carving a piece of jade.

Master Zhongshan looked up and saw Zhou Wanwan, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Wanwan, you're here." Master Zhongshan put down the tools in his hands and motioned Zhou Wanwan to sit down.

Zhou Wanwan respectfully handed the design drawing to Master Zhongshan and said, "Teacher, this is the couple's bracelet I designed recently. I want to use gemstones to make it, but I'm not sure about some places. I would like to ask for your advice."

Master Zhongshan took the blueprint, studied it carefully for a while, and then nodded: "The design is very creative, and the image of the crocodile is very vivid. But what kind of gemstone do you plan to use to create it?"

Zhou Wanwan replied: "I considered using rubies and sapphires to represent male and female crocodiles respectively. Rubies symbolize passion and strength, while sapphires symbolize wisdom and gentleness."

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "It's a good idea, but the choice of gemstones should not only consider their color, but also their texture and cutting method. Have you ever considered using diamonds to embellish it?"

Zhou Wanwan was a little surprised: "Diamond? Wouldn't the cost be too high?"

Master Zhongshan shook his head. “Cost is important, but what’s more important is the quality and uniqueness of the work. The brilliance of diamonds can add a lot of highlights to your design. And if you can find the right supplier, the cost will not increase too much.”

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully: "Teacher, you are right. I really need to consider it more comprehensively."

Master Zhongshan continued: "In addition, you also need to consider the craftsmanship of the bracelet. Although the image of the crocodile is vivid, it can easily look rough if the craftsmanship is not in place."

“You can consider using micro-setting, which can maintain the vivid image of the crocodile while ensuring the exquisiteness of the bracelet.”

Zhou Wanwan said gratefully: "Teacher, your advice is very helpful to me. I will readjust the design after I go back and strive to make the most perfect work."

Master Zhongshan nodded and said, "Wanwan, you have to remember that jewelry design is not only an art, but also a science. Every detail needs to be carefully polished to create a truly touching work."

When Zhou Wanwan left Master Zhongshan's studio, her heart was full of confidence and motivation.

She decided to follow her teacher’s advice, re-adjust the design, and began looking for a suitable gemstone supplier.

However, just when she was ready to make her big move, an unexpected news came that her main gem supplier suddenly declared bankruptcy and could no longer supply.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, catching Zhou Wanwan off guard.

She immediately contacted several other gemstone suppliers, but they were either too expensive or the quality was substandard.

Zhou Wanwan was in a dilemma. She knew that if she couldn't find the right gem in time, her couple bracelet plan would be at great risk.

Just when she was getting overwhelmed, Nie Qiu appeared in her shop again.

Seeing Zhou Wanwan's worried look, Nie Qiu asked with concern, "You don't look well. What happened?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and told Nie Qiu about the bankruptcy of the gem supplier.

After listening to this, Nie Qiu pondered for a while and suddenly said, "I have a friend who works in the jewelry industry. He may know some reliable suppliers. I can help you contact them."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great! Mr. Nie, you are really my savior."

Nie Qiu smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'll contact my friends right away to see if I can help."

A few days later, Nie Qiu brought good news. His friend introduced him to a reliable gemstone supplier who not only offered reasonable prices but also high quality.

Zhou Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her couple bracelet plan could finally move forward.
