Reborn Troops

Zhou Guo stood in Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store, holding an exquisite jewelry box in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

He stared at the box for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said to Zhou Wanwan who was busy, "Sister, can the jewelry box also be a highlight to attract customers?"

Zhou Wanwan stopped what she was doing and looked up at Zhou Guo. "A jewelry box? Isn't it just for jewelry? What else could be so special about it?"

"Of course!" Zhou Guo walked up to her and handed her the jewelry box.

“You see, although this box looks ordinary, if we put some thought into the design, such as adding some cultural elements related to jewelry,

Or make it more ceremonial, so that when customers receive it, will they feel it is more valuable? "

Zhou Wanwan took the box, looked at it carefully for a while, and nodded thoughtfully.

"You're right. The jewelry box can indeed be made more distinctive. However, our main focus now is on the copper coin necklace. How can we have the time to design a jewelry box?"

"Leave this to me!" Zhou Guo patted his chest and said confidently, "I happen to be interested in packaging design recently, so I can help you research it."

"You?" Zhou Wanwan looked at him suspiciously, "Do you understand design?"

"If you don't understand, you can learn!" Zhou Guo said with a smile, "Besides, I'm your brother, so I have to help you share some of the pressure, right?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled helplessly, "Okay, then you can try it. But don't delay the business."

"Don't worry!" Zhou Guo waved his hand, turned and left the store.

In the next few days, Zhou Guo began to study the design of the jewelry box.

He consulted a lot of information and even visited several packaging designers.

He asked them for their experience. After some efforts, he finally came up with a preliminary design plan.

That day, Zhou Guo excitedly ran to Zhou Wanwan's shop with a brand new jewelry box design in his hand.

"Sister, look!" He handed the design to Zhou Wanwan and said excitedly, "This is a new jewelry box I designed. What do you think of it?"

Zhou Wanwan took the design drawing, looked at it carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The appearance of the box adopts traditional lacquerware craftsmanship, and the surface is carved with exquisite cloud and lotus patterns, which echo the design of the copper coin necklace.

When you open the box, there is a small mechanism inside that allows the jewelry to slowly rise up, as if a precious treasure is being slowly unveiled.

"This...did you design this?" Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Guo in disbelief.

"Of course!" Zhou Guo smiled proudly, "How is it, not bad, right?"

"It's not just good, it's amazing!" Zhou Wanwan said excitedly, "This design is not only beautiful, but also very ceremonial. Customers will definitely like it!"

"Of course!" Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows proudly, "But, sister, although this design looks good, it may be a bit complicated to make, and the cost will be relatively high."

"It doesn't matter!" Zhou Wanwan said without hesitation, "As long as customers can feel our dedication, no matter how high the cost is, it's worth it."

Zhou Guo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find the manufacturer to discuss the production."

However, things did not go as smoothly as they imagined. A few days later, Zhou Guo returned to the store with a frustrated look on his face, holding a sample box in his hand.

"Sister, there is a problem." He sighed and handed the sample box to Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan took the box, opened it, and found that the internal mechanism of the box did not work smoothly as shown in the design, but was stuck.

"How could this happen?" Zhou Wanwan frowned. "What did the manufacturer say?"

"They said the design was too complicated and difficult to achieve with existing technology," Zhou Guo said helplessly. "And even if it could be made, the cost would be ridiculously high."

Zhou Wanwan was silent for a while, then whispered, "Then...should we give up this design?"

"Give up?" Zhou Guo shook his head. "Sister, this is an idea we came up with with great difficulty.

How can we give up so easily? Let’s think about it again, maybe we can find a better solution.”

"But..." Zhou Wanwan hesitated, "Time waits for no one. The copper coin necklace will be on the market soon. If the jewelry box can't keep up, it may affect the overall sales."

Zhou Guo pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Sister, I have an idea!"

"What's your idea?" Zhou Wanwan looked at him curiously.

"We can simplify the design, retaining the core sense of ritual, but removing those complicated mechanisms." Zhou Guo said excitedly.

"For example, we can make the way the box is opened more special.

For example, using magnets or slide rails can not only give customers a sense of ritual, but also reduce the difficulty and cost of production. "

Zhou Wanwan's eyes gradually brightened after hearing this. "This is a good idea! It not only retains the essence of the design, but also solves the process problem."

"Then let's try it?" Zhou Guo asked with a smile.

"Try it!" Zhou Wanwan nodded firmly.
