I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 14 Gem Setting Techniques

"Brother, what are you thinking? You are so fascinated!" Guan Yi reminded Wu Guangyao, as if he was in a daze.

"Ah! I didn't think anything, I want to buy something from Brother Guan? The price is easy to say!" Wu Guangyao retracted his thoughts and said to Guan Yi.

Guan Yi, as a comprador of a foreign firm, naturally has many trade channels.

The comprador refers to the Chinese businessmen who helped the West to conduct bilateral trade with China in the modern history of China. Middlemen and managers employed by foreign businessmen to assist them in their trade activities in China. Such businessmen employed by foreign businessmen usually have strong foreign language skills. On the one hand, they can be used as translators for European and American businessmen and Chinese businessmen, and they can also handle two-way communication between European and American business circles and the Chinese government. In addition, this type of merchants can also run their own shops, so there are many people who get rich.

Therefore, Guan Yi is not only rich, but also has a strong relationship with Europeans and foreigners and has many channels.

Lao Fengxiang jewelry store needs a lot of tools, and will also need various gems and diamonds in the future. With Guan Yi's network, it is very easy.

Of course, Wu Guangyao will not be stingy with money and let others suffer!

"What do you need? I've always been a trader, so it's quite easy for me to buy something!" Guan Yi said in a big voice.

Wu Guangyao took out a stack of documents, which was handwritten by himself.

"Here are some tools and machinery I need. I would like to ask you to help me find them. Can you help me get them together! This is related to Lao Fengxiang's future market competitiveness!"

Guan Yi took the information and looked at it seriously.

"Small steel chisels, various files, double-ended locking pliers, bristle brushes, beakers, precision molds... I'm afraid I'll have to look for these in Europe. I'll do it right away, there are none on Hong Kong Island. , I will send someone to Europe to help us purchase."

Wu Guangyao said: "Then thank you brother Guan, money can't let you suffer."

"Small things, talk about it later, let's continue to talk about the topic just now......"

..........

At 6:30 in the morning, Wu Guangyao started to get up and did some exercises in the room to promote his secondary development.

If you want to be happy, you must not only have money, but also have a strong body, otherwise you will have a strong mind and a lack of energy in the future!

"Master, is this kind of exercise useful? Why don't I find a martial arts master for you and give you some guidance!"

Fang Ge'er watched Wu Guangyao face down for a while and did push-ups; face up for a while and did sit-ups, he couldn't help saying.

Wu Guangyao said: "I don't need it now. I'm just strengthening my body, and I don't fight with others. But I'm going to open a security company soon, and then I can learn martial arts and fighting to deal with emergencies!"

Thirty minutes after exercising, Wu Guangyao stopped, packed up, and planned to have breakfast.

Lao Fengxiang Gold and Silver Shop has ushered in a new day of business, and today a wooden sign has been erected at the door.

Recruitment: several gem setting masters

Number of jewelry casting masters

Gold chemical master, gold inspection master, store clerk (female)... several

At this time, all the jewelry on Hong Kong Island were inlaid with gemstones, because the gemstones inlaid by the traditional inlaid craftsmanship were easy to fall off.

For example, in the bracelet that Rong Bensheng came to sell last time, one of the gems on the faucet fell off.

As for inlaid diamonds, it is even more impossible to achieve that kind of craftsmanship. Of course, the source of diamonds is also a problem.

Therefore, with the opening of the new store, Wu Guangyao intends to first introduce the gem setting technology to form a mature craft.

That's why I entrusted friends Guan Yi and Zhao Xi to buy some sophisticated tools in Europe by taking advantage of Jardine Matheson's relationship.

As for technology, it is not difficult for Wu Guangyao, who has learned a lot from his father in his previous life.

And he himself is a mold maker, and sometimes he likes to read some knowledge in this area.

I plan to start with the simplest and most commonly used setting method - claw setting!

Prong Setting: Although simple, it is not easy to make. Because the bottoms of many natural gemstones are uneven, the inlay processing should not only make the inlays flat and beautiful, but also pay attention to the symmetry of the claws and the fit with the gemstones.

It is best suited for solitaires, and is crafted by bending the metal teeth down toward the diamond to "grasp" the diamond. Mainly used for cabochon, square, trapezoid, random-shaped gemstone setting.

The claw setting method is divided into two claw, three claw, four claw and six claw according to the number of claw; according to the shape of the claw, it can be divided into triangle claw, round head claw, square claw, corner claw, opposite claw (sister claw) tip Angle claw, with the type claw and so on.

......

At this time, in a teahouse, the owners of several gold and silver shops gathered together.

Since the opening of Lao Fengxiang's gold and silver shop, these bosses have been jealous from the previous encounter with the enemy, and now they are the same enemy, and this enemy is naturally Lao Fengxiang's gold and silver shop.

Much like the Warring States period, the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal.

Of course, Lao Fengxiang never thought of forming an alliance with anyone, just to crush them!

"What does this old Fengxiang Gold and Silver Shop want to do? A large number of workers are recruited, do they use so many people?" Wynn Lai Gold Shop Boss Wang said with a gun and a stick.

"Who knows, is it going to open a branch?"

Xiangxinjin's boss's words seemed to be open to the sky, and everyone sighed with emotion, Lao Fengxiang was amazing.

On Wenxian East Street, where the hidden dragon and crouching tiger are located, it took a month to gain a firm foothold, and it is about to open a branch soon.

"But what happened to the gem inlay master who was recruited? Could it be that Lao Fengxiang also wants to introduce gems inlaid on gold and silver? This is a very difficult craft, and traditional craftsmanship is likely to fall off easily."

"Who knows? Just wait, anyway, everyone has to learn from Lao Fengxiang humbly, and we must take Lao Fengxiang as an example."

"Yes. Yes, learn more from Lao Fengxiang!"

If Wu Guangyao was by his side, he must knock these shameless people to the ground with a hammer.

This is too shameless, plagiarism is said to be learning, and that's okay, even the thing that bribes the gold casting master can be done.

If it weren't for the lack of sound laws, Wu Guangyao must make these people look good!

......

Rong Bensheng has been on the second floor of Lao Fengxiang these days, learning the techniques of smelting and casting gold.

As a manager, you may not, but you must not understand. This is what Wu Guangyao said to him.

"Mr. Rong, the boss doesn't want to open a branch, so he is recruiting people on a large scale." Master Yizhujin said cautiously.

They had to worry that since the last time Master Sun of the Gold Casting Department committed betrayal, these gold casting masters also felt uncomfortable.

It's not that he will betray, but after all, it is a department, and if something goes wrong, it will be a bit of a drag.

The boss suddenly recruited people again, and he was still a little worried about whether he would be affected.

"Master Zhao, don't worry! You will not be affected. Maybe you will be able to rise in the future. But now, the most important thing is to work with peace of mind. The boss knows what you have done, and will never treat you badly! The boss said, Master Sun, that is a personal act and has nothing to do with anyone." Rong Bensheng reassured him.

"That's great, Sun Moumou's thing is too useless and moral, that kind of thing can be done. Mr. Rong, don't worry, we promise to work with peace of mind and work hard!" Master Casting Jin quickly expressed his position.

"Well, for the masters who will be recruited immediately, you should give them all your money and don't hide your secrets. Even if you don't teach, the boss will teach them personally. It's better to take the initiative to sell some favors. Our Lao Fengxiang will continue to develop, and will spread all over Hong Kong Island in the future. It is even spread all over Asia, so it is normal for us to recruit people." Rong Bensheng still did not directly say that he would open a head office immediately, and he vaguely revealed some things in his words.

"Yes, the boss is also half of our masters. This technology is also public, and we will teach it."
