Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan stood in front of the counter of the jewelry store, holding an exquisite tulip-style jewelry box in her hands, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Her best friend Qianqian, a talented woman with a certain reputation in the design world, was sitting opposite her, holding a cup of freshly brewed Longjing tea in her hand. The aroma of the tea seemed to dispel all worries.

"You've had this shop open for two years, right?" Qianqian took a sip of tea, a hint of concern in her tone.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and sighed: "Yeah, I'm lacking inspiration. I'm as anxious as a cat scratching me."

Qianqian put down the teacup and gently patted the back of Zhou Wanwan's hand: "Don't worry, I have an idea."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What's the idea?"

Qianqian smiled mysteriously and took out a design from her bag: "Look, this is the tulip-style jewelry box I designed recently. I think it's very suitable for your store."

Zhou Wanwan took the design and looked at it carefully, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "This design is really beautiful. The tulip element is used just right. It is both elegant and fashionable."

Qianqian smiled proudly: "Of course, I put a lot of effort into it. Besides, tulips symbolize love and beauty, which just fits the positioning of the jewelry in your store."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but then frowned again: "But, although this design is good, I am worried that the cost is too high. Will customers accept it?"

Qianqian shook her head: "Wanwan, you have to change your mindset. Today's customers, especially the younger generation, pay more attention to the uniqueness and design of the product."

"You have to make them feel that buying your jewelry box is not just to store jewelry, but also to own a piece of art."

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully, but she was still a little hesitant: "But, there are already many kinds of jewelry boxes in my store. Will it look messy if I add one more?"

After listening to Qianqian's suggestion, Zhou Wanwan felt a stir in her heart, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.

She looked up, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "You mean, we can design a series that uses different colors to represent the process from tulip buds to full bloom?"

Qianqian nodded, her eyes full of confidence: "Yes, this will not only increase the layering of the product, but also allow customers to feel the passage of time and the beauty of life."

"Each stage of jewelry box can have different meanings, for example, the buds represent new life, the half-opened flowers represent growth, and the fully bloomed flowers symbolize maturity and perfection."

The more Zhou Wanwan listened, the more she thought this idea was indescribable. She stood up excitedly and held Qianqian's hand tightly with both of her hands. "Qianqian, you are so talented! This idea is simply great!"

Qianqian smiled slightly and patted the back of Zhou Wanwan's hand gently: "Wanwan, this is just the beginning. Next we have to plan carefully how to bring this series to the market."

The two sat down and began to discuss in detail the design and promotion plan of the tulip series jewelry box.

Qianqian took out her notebook and started sketching, while Zhou Wanwan provided opinions and suggestions.

Just as they were discussing enthusiastically, there was a sudden noise at the door of the store.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at each other, both a little confused.

Zhou Wanwan stood up and walked to the door of the store, only to see a group of young people gathered at the door, pointing at a jewelry box in the window and talking.

"Wow, this jewelry box is so beautiful!" a girl exclaimed.

"Yes, the tulip design is so creative, I like it so much!" another girl agreed.

Zhou Wanwan was delighted and quickly stepped forward, smiling and asking, "Do you like this design?"

The girls nodded one after another, and one of them boldly asked, "Boss, how much is this jewelry box? I want to buy one."

Zhou Wanwan was about to answer when Qianqian suddenly interrupted, "This jewelry box is part of our upcoming tulip series. It is still in the design stage and is not for sale to the public for the time being."

When the girls heard this, they looked disappointed.

Seeing this, Zhou Wanwan quickly added: "However, we can accept pre-orders. If you like it, you can leave your contact information. We will notify you as soon as the product is officially launched."

The girls nodded and started filling out the reservation form. Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian smiled at each other, their hearts filled with hope.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian were busy sorting out the reservation forms. When they heard Wu Keke's suggestion, they both stopped what they were doing and looked up at her.

"Windmill earrings?" Zhou Wanwan repeated with some confusion, "You mean, add a windmill earring that can move on the jewelry box?"

Wu Keke nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Yes, I think this will be more interesting and more attractive. Imagine that when you open the jewelry box, the windmill earrings will gently rotate with the movement of your hands. That feeling must be wonderful!"

Qianqian touched her chin thoughtfully: "This idea is indeed very creative, but it may be a little difficult to realize."

Zhou Wanwan also frowned: "Yes, the production process of windmill earrings is relatively complicated, and to ensure that it can move, we must also consider durability and aesthetics, which is not a simple matter."

Seeing that the two were a little hesitant, Wu Keke quickly added: "I know this may be a little difficult, but I believe you can do it! Moreover, I think this design will make your tulip series more unique and more attractive to customers."

Qianqian and Zhou Wanwan looked at each other and saw a hint of heartbeat in each other's eyes.

Qianqian nodded: "Wanwan, I think this suggestion is worth considering. Although it is difficult to implement, if we can succeed, it will be a big selling point."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try. However, this will take some time. We have to find the right craftsmen first and design a suitable plan."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian decided to adopt Wu Keke's suggestion and incorporate windmill earrings into the design of the tulip series jewelry boxes.

In order to ensure that this idea could be perfectly realized, Zhou Wanwan decided to seek help from her former mentor, Master Zhongshan.

Zhou Wanwan called Master Zhongshan and briefly introduced to him the design concept of the Tulip series jewelry boxes and Wu Keke's suggestions.

After listening to them, Master Sun Yat-sen showed great interest and agreed to meet with them for a detailed discussion.

The next day, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian came to Master Zhongshan's studio with design sketches and preliminary ideas.
