These four employees were recruited by Huo Jieyan from Miandian, and all four of them are from Miandian.
There are many types of gemstones that the four of them need to cut and process.
There are various types of gemstone raw stones including beryl, spinel, tourmaline, garnet, crystal, topaz, chrysoberyl, etc.
The gem cutting machines of this era cannot compare with the advanced electronic instruments and equipment of the 21st century.
So she needs to pay attention to the quality of the first batch of processed gemstones.
Next to the stone cutting machine, the machine operated by a master named Wang stopped.
He picked up the slice of cortex and exclaimed in surprise when he saw the color on the cut surface.
"What beautiful ice flowers!"
Ice flowers?
Yan Ning heard the voice and walked over.
When he reached the machine, Master Wang had already moved the stone, which was half the size of a Qilin melon, to the ground.
He poured some water on it, and the color on the cut surface was fully revealed.
On the clear and transparent ice jade base in the middle of the cut surface, there are pieces of spicy green jade floating on it.
It's like green flowers growing out of a piece of transparent ice.
The outer layer of the stone is only a one-centimeter-thick cortex, and the middle part is all beautiful ice-type floating flower jadeite.
It gives people a fresh and elegant feeling, exuding a unique charm and temperament.
Although ice-type jadeite with floating flowers is not as valuable as full-green ice-type jadeite, it is also a rare high-end jadeite.
Master Wang said: "The skin of this stone is not thick. I will cut it along the edge later.
I guess the cut material can be used to make a lot of jewelry."
Ice-floating flower jade is suitable for making bracelets and carved pendants.
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Then Master Wang, you go ahead and get busy."
In the following period, the other four stone cutting machines successively produced a piece of icy-type positive green jadeite, a piece of high-icy spicy green jadeite, a piece of glass-type blue water jadeite and a piece of icy yellow and green jadeite.
Early in the morning, one piece of top-grade jade, four pieces of top-quality jade and one piece of high-end jade were opened.
The mentality of all the employees in the factory has changed from being shocked at the beginning to being calm now.
It’s 11:30 am, time for lunch.
Yan Ning, Jiang Yan, Wang Biao and others followed everyone to the small cafeteria at the back to eat.
The dishes included four meat dishes, five vegetable dishes and one soup, and Yan Ning found them quite tasty.
There is a half-hour break after lunch.
The employees all returned to the dormitory to rest.
Yan Ning and Jiang Yan went to the office on the second floor to rest.
After work started in the afternoon, Yan Ning went to the first floor to find Master Su
She took out a stack of design drafts from her handbag and handed them to Master Su, "Master Su, these are the design drafts I drew recently.
In addition to the traditional round bracelets, imperial concubine bracelets, peace pendants, etc.
Other jewelry items are processed and made according to my designs.
There are twenty styles of necklace pendants, earrings, rings and bracelets.
You have to finish the work before April 15th, so as not to delay the store opening."
The jewelry she designed includes popular style elements of this era as well as popular styles of the 21st century.
All of them are styles that are not available on the market now.
It can be said to be unique in Hong Kong.
Master Su looked through a few drawings and a look of excitement gradually appeared on his face.
"Boss Yan, the jewelry you designed is really beautiful. This is the first time I've seen these styles.
Once processed into jewelry, it will be very beautiful and dazzling, even unique.
I can’t wait any longer.”
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Then Master Su, I'll leave the jadeware to you."
"Boss Yan, don't worry!"
Master Su smiled and nodded, then took the design draft to discuss it with the other three jade craftsmen.
Yan Ning went to the right and found Master Jin, and also took out a stack of gold jewelry design drafts and handed them to him.
"Master Jin, these are the gold jewelry styles I designed. You will process them according to the design drawings.
I know that you old goldsmiths are more comfortable with the old traditional patterns and styles.
But my jewelry store wants to gain a foothold in the jewelry industry in Hong Kong.
We must start with the novelty and uniqueness of the style.
So I have to trouble you three goldsmiths to take more care of it."
The styles of gold jewelry in all jewelry stores in Hong Kong are similar, and there are no innovative designs.
There are only a few styles that are released every year, so the sales of gold jewelry are not very high.
Master Jin looked through the design draft and said in surprise: "Boss Yan, I didn't expect that these gold ornaments can be made into these styles. I have really broadened my horizons today.
In the past, we made gold jewelry based on experience and feeling, and whatever shape it was,
Now we have the design drawings to follow, which is of course better, and these crafts are not difficult,
Don't worry, Mr. Yan, the three of us will make these jewelry carefully."
The gold jewelry designed by Yan Ning includes various styles of hollowing, carving, filigree, filigree, turning, engraving, inlaying and other craftsmanship.
The various styles of necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings are all unique and novel and fashionable.
Master Jin and the other two have already imagined what the sales scene of gold jewelry will be like after the store opens.
Yan Ning smiled and nodded, then turned to the gem-cutting machine and gave some instructions to the four employees.
After instructing Jiang Yan on other matters that needed attention, she left the processing plant with her bodyguards.
For a period of time afterwards, Yan Ning went to the processing plant every two days to check the processing progress.
Many of the jewelry she designs require the use of pearls.
On the 12th, Yan Ning took Jiang Yan and Wang Biao to Paris by plane.
Arrived at the hotel in Paris and rested for one night.
The next morning, Yan Ning and the other two had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, then got on the reserved business car and headed for the Pearl Trading Market.
This pearl trading market is not as big as the gem trading market in Miandian.
It is a small trading place formed freely by more than a dozen pearl merchants.
Although it is small, it has a collection of pearls from all over the world.
Yan Ning entered the market and looked at each store one by one.
After a round of shopping, she finally bought some gold pearls, Australian white pearls, black pearls, Ocaya pearls, Mabe pearls, Edison pearls, baroque pearls and other pearls of different sizes.
Buy enough for a year so you don’t have to come to Paris so often.
A total of more than three million francs were spent, and there was still a balance of 530,000 francs left in the bank card.
The most expensive ones are Philippine gold beads and Australian white beads.
After the transaction, the three of them left the trading market.
Yan Ning originally wanted to contact Guan Jiaojiao to ask her out for dinner, but he didn't have her contact information, so he gave up.
At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the three of them took a plane back to the port city.
The next day after returning to the port city, Yan Ning sent the pearls to the processing factory and took the opportunity to check the progress of the jewelry processing.
The jewellery she designed is half finished.
