Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan picked up her phone and dialed Master Zhongshan's number. A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Wanwan, what's wrong?"

"Teacher Zhongshan, I have encountered some design problems and would like to ask you for help." Zhou Wanwan said a little nervously.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Master Zhongshan's voice remained calm.

"I'm currently making a star-themed bracelet, but I always feel that the materials and design are not advanced enough, and the customer feedback is not very good."

Zhou Wanwan sighed, "I want to improve the quality, but I don't want the price to be too high. Do you have any suggestions?"

Master Zhongshan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Wanwan, design is not just about the selection of materials.

What’s more important is the expression of emotion. Have you ever wondered why customers think your bracelets are not high-end enough? "

"Maybe it's because the materials look too cheap, like the blue crystal beads and the ginkgo leaf pendants," Zhou Wanwan replied.

“Materials are important, but the core of design is the transmission of emotions.”

Master Zhongshan continued, "Have you ever thought that the starry sky is not just blue?

It also comes in deep black, shimmering silver, and even a hint of purple.

You can try using different colors and materials to express the layering of the starry sky.”

"Different colors and materials?" Zhou Wanwan thought thoughtfully, "For example, black agate and silver metal?"

"Yes, black agate can represent the night sky, and silver metal can symbolize starlight." Master Zhongshan smiled.

"Moreover, you can also add some dynamic elements to the design, such as a rotating star disk.

Or a chain that can be adjusted in length, so that the bracelet is not only beautiful but also practical.”

"Dynamic elements?" Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea!"

“In addition, you can also consider adding some cultural elements.” Master Zhongshan added,

For example, in traditional Chinese culture, ginkgo leaves symbolize longevity and tenacity.

You can incorporate this meaning into the design, making the bracelet not just a piece of jewelry, but also a symbol of emotion.”

"Cultural elements..." Zhou Wanwan murmured to herself, "Why didn't I think of it?"

"Design is an art that requires you to feel it with your heart." Master Zhongshan said earnestly, "Wanwan, you have to believe in yourself. Your work has a soul."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhongshan, I understand." Zhou Wanwan said gratefully.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan immediately started to redesign the bracelet. She decided to use a combination of black agate and silver metal.

At the same time, a rotating star disk is added to the bracelet, symbolizing the unpredictable starry sky.

The ginkgo leaf pendant is made of gold-plated copper with a small pearl inlaid in the middle, symbolizing the veins of the ginkgo leaf and the tenacity of life.

While she was busy, the door of the shop was pushed open again. Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw that it was Zhao Shui.

"Zhao Shui?" Zhou Wanwan was a little surprised. "Why are you back again?"

Zhao Shui didn't say anything, but walked to the counter, picked up a freshly made bracelet, and looked at it carefully.

Her expression gradually softened from indifference at the beginning, and finally she even showed a smile.

"This bracelet..." Zhao Shui said softly, "is different from the previous ones."

"Yes, I redesigned it." Zhou Wanwan explained, "I used black agate and silver metal, and added a rotating star disk."

"Astrological disk?" Zhao Shui raised his eyebrows. "This is an interesting design."

"Yes, I want it to be more dynamic, symbolizing the changes in the starry sky." Zhou Wanwan smiled, "Also, the ginkgo leaf pendant is made of gold-plated copper.

A small pearl is inlaid in the middle, symbolizing the veins of the ginkgo leaf and the tenacity of life. "

"The tenacity of life..." Zhao Shui murmured to himself, seemingly touched by these words.

"Zhao Shui, I know you've always been picky, but your opinion is very important to me." Zhou Wanwan said sincerely, "I hope you like this bracelet."

Zhao Shui was silent for a moment, and finally said, “Wanwan, I admit that what I said before was a bit too much.

Your design is indeed very creative, and the texture of this bracelet has been greatly improved.”

"Thank you, Zhao Shui." Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really glad you like it."

"But..." Zhao Shui suddenly changed the subject, "Have you ever considered that the price of this bracelet might be higher?"

"I have indeed thought about this issue." Zhou Wanwan nodded.

“So I’m going to make two versions, a premium version and a more affordable version.

The premium version is black onyx and silver metal, while the more affordable version is faux onyx and silver-plated metal.”

"Two versions?" Zhao Shui raised his eyebrows. "That's a good idea."

"Yes, I hope to satisfy customers who pursue quality and let more people enjoy my designs." Zhou Wanwan said with a smile.

As soon as Zhou Wanwan finished speaking, a look of approval appeared on Zhao Shui's face.

She nodded gently and said, "Wanwan, your idea is very thoughtful. However, I have another suggestion."

"What suggestions?" Zhou Wanwan asked curiously.

"You can consider designing a limited edition for this bracelet." Zhao Shui smiled slightly. "The limited edition bracelet can be made of more advanced materials.

For example, natural obsidian and sterling silver, or even a few small diamonds can be inlaid on the astrolabe to symbolize the twinkling of stars. "

"Limited edition?" Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea! Limited edition can not only improve the grade of the bracelet, but also increase its collection value."

"That's right." Zhao Shui nodded, "Moreover, the limited edition bracelet can be used as your brand's representative work to attract more high-end customers."

Zhou Wanwan pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and said excitedly: "Zhao Shui, are you willing to help me design a limited edition bracelet?

Your vision and taste are unique, and I believe your addition will make this bracelet more perfect."
