I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 14 Gem Setting Technology

   "My brother, what do you think? So fascinated!" Guan Yi said when he saw Wu Guangyao not turning his eyes, as if he had fallen into a demon.

   "Ah! I didn't think about anything, I want to ask Guan Ge to purchase some things? The price is easy to say!" Wu Guangyao retracted his thoughts and said to Guan Yi.

  As a comprador of Foreign Bank, Guan Yi naturally has many trading channels.

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

  So Guan Yi not only has a wealth of wealth, but also has a strong relationship with Europeans and foreigners, and there are many channels.

  Lao Fengxiang Jewelry Shop needs a lot of tools, and all kinds of gems and diamonds will be needed 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 I need? I am a trade originally, so it is quite simple for me to purchase something!" Guan Yi said magnificently.

  Wu Guangyao took out a pile of materials, on which was his hand-drawn materials.

  "These 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 the future market competitiveness of Laofengxiang Company!"

  Guan Yi took the information, and then looked at it seriously.

"Small steel chisels, all kinds of files, double-ended locking pliers, bristles, beakers, precision molds. I'm afraid I will have to look for them in Europe. I will do it right away. Europe helps us purchase."

  Wu Guangyao said: "Then thank you Guan, you can't lose money."

  "Little things, I'll 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.

  The happiness you want to think about is not only to be rich, but also to have a strong body, otherwise you will have more than enough energy in the future!

   "Master, is this kind of exercise useful? How about finding a martial arts master for you and giving you guidance!"

Brother Fang looked at Wu Guangyao face down for a while and started push-ups; for a while, face up, he started doing sit-ups and couldn't help but say.

  Wu Guangyao said: “I don’t use it now. I just keep fit and don’t fight with others. But I’m going to start a security company soon, so I can learn martial arts and fighting by then to deal with emergencies!”

  Thirty minutes of exercise, Wu Guangyao stopped, cleaned up, and planned to eat breakfast.

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

  Recruitment: Several gem setting masters

  Several masters of jewelry casting

  Chemical gold master, gold inspector, several shop assistants (female)

  At this time, all the jewelry on Hong Kong Island had very few inlaid gemstones. That is because the gemstones inlaid by traditional inlay craftsmanship are easy to fall.

  For example, the bracelet that Rong Bensheng came to sell last time, the gem on the dragon head dropped one.

  As for setting diamonds, it is impossible to achieve that kind of craft. Of course, the source of diamonds is also a problem.

  So when the new store opened, Wu Guangyao planned to introduce gem inlay technology to form a mature craft.

  That’s why I entrusted my friends Guan Yi and Zhao Xi to buy some sophisticated tools in Europe using the relationship between Jardine Matheson.

  As for technology, Wu Guangyao is not hard to come by. He has learned a lot from his father in his previous life.

   And I am a mold maker, and I sometimes like to read some knowledge in this area.

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

  Claw setting: Although simple, it is not easy to do. Because the bottom of many natural gemstones is uneven, the inlay processing must not only make the setting smooth and beautiful, but also pay attention to the symmetry of the claws and the fit of the gemstone.

  It is most suitable for inlaying solitaire stones. The craftsmanship is to bend the metal teeth in the direction of the diamond to "hold on" the diamond. It is mainly used for inlaying gemstones of cambered, square, trapezoidal and random shapes.

The claw setting method is divided into two claws, three claws, four claws and six claws according to the number of claws; according to the shape of the claws, it can be divided into triangular claws, round claws, square claws, angled claws, and opposite claws (sister claws). Angle claw, follow type claw, etc.

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

  Since the Lao Fengxiang gold and silver shop opened, these bosses have been extremely jealous from the previous enemies to the current enemy, and this enemy is naturally the old Fengxiang gold and silver shop.

   is very much like the Warring States period, the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal lines.

  Of course, Lao Fengxiang never thought about who to ally with, just to crush them!

   "What does this old Fengxiang gold and silver shop want to do? It recruits a lot of workers, do they use so many people?" Wynn Lai Jinpu Wang said with a gun and a stick.

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

  Xiang Xinjin's extravagant boss's words, it seems that the clouds and mist have been thrown away, and everyone is feeling that Lao Fengxiang is very powerful.

  In this Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, Bonham East Street, it took a month to get a firm foothold, and this is about to open a branch again.

  "But what's the matter with the gem setting master who is recruiting? Does Lao Fengxiang also launch gold and silver inlay gems? This is a very difficult craft, and traditional crafts may easily fall off."

  "Who knows? We have to wait. Anyway, if you want to learn from Lao Fengxiang with an humility, we must follow Lao Fengxiang as an example."

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

  If Wu Guangyao is nearby, these shameless people must be pressed to the ground with a hammer.

  This is too shameless, plagiarism is said to be learning, and that’s fine, even the work of buying the master of gold can be done.

  If there is no sound law yet, Wu Guangyao must make these people look good!

  Bensheng Rong is on the second floor of Lao Fengxiang these days, learning the techniques of gold-making and casting.

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

   "Mr. Rong, the boss does not want to open a branch, so he recruits people on a large scale." Master Yizhu Jin said carefully.

  They have to worry that since the last time Master Sun in the gold casting department did a betrayal, these gold casting masters also felt uncomfortable.

  It’s not that I will betray, it’s just that it’s a department after all, and it’s a bit of a burden if something goes wrong.

  The boss suddenly recruited people again, and there was still a little worry in his heart whether he would be affected.

"Master Zhao, don't worry! You are not affected, maybe you will be able to get promoted in the future. But now the most important thing is to work with peace of mind. The boss knows what everyone has done and will never treat you badly! The boss said, Master Sun’s behavior is personal and has nothing to do with anyone.” Rong Bensheng calmed down.

  "That's great, the thing surnamed Sun is too useless, and that kind of thing can be done. Mr. Rong, you can rest assured, we promise to work with peace of mind and work hard!" Master Zhujin quickly expressed his opinion.

"Well, for the masters who are recruited right away, you have to give yourselves to each other and don’t hide yourself. Even if you don’t teach, the boss will teach you personally. It’s better to take the initiative to sell favors. Our Lao Fengxiang will continue to develop, and we will spread all over Hong Kong in the future. Even all over Asia, so it is normal for us to recruit people." Rong Bensheng still didn't say directly that he would open the head office immediately, and he vaguely revealed something in his words.

   "Yes, the boss is also our half of the master. This technique is also publicly owned, and we will teach it."
