Chapter 216 Master (Part 2)
"You said last time that you can undertake the business of cutting rough diamonds. Is it true?" Chu Fei stated her intentions as soon as she came up, and said directly.
Yan Shengnan next to him suddenly had the urge to cover his face, how innocent is this lady of his family? In such a hurry to express his intentions, didn't he see how much Guo Tailai charged for that woman's watch maintenance? What is the difference between being so anxious and sending your own neck to Guo Tailai's knife?
"Of course it's true." Guo Tailai smiled, and as expected, he said what Yan Shengnan was most worried about: "But my shot is not cheap, are you sure you want me to make a shot?"
When Chu Fei wanted to say something, Guo Tailai blocked what she wanted to say: "Don't tell me that a beautiful woman who casually gives away diamonds as jewelry is actually a poor ghost."
"It's not a gift!" Chu Fei didn't know how to explain it. Last time, she told Guo Tailai that she wanted to give it to a friend. Now that she changed her words, Guo Tailai probably wouldn't believe it, but she explained it somehow.
"Mr. Guo, are you really that Mr. T?" Yan Shengnan who was next to him quickly interrupted and asked. Let Chu Fei and Guo Tailai continue to communicate, I am afraid that Chu Fei will have to be taken out by Guo Tailai.
"Of course!" Guo Tailai showed no modesty at all: "Didn't I say it last time? Chief!"
"There is only one chief!" Chu Fei added a little unconvinced.
"This also shows that I am Mr. T." Guo Tailai immediately replied: "Isn't it?"
"Then how do you charge?" Chu Fei pouted, not caring too much, and asked directly.
"Twenty percent of the price after cutting it out." Guo Tailai didn't have a specific concept, so he just mentioned a ratio.
"You robbed!" Although Chu Fei didn't have a specific concept, she was still taken aback by Guo Tailai's offer, twenty percent, one-fifth? Or cut out the price?
"You don't have to do it." Guo Tailai spread his hands: "I never force clients."
"Then what if you can't cut it out?" Chu Fei was also annoyed by Guo Tailai's attitude, and asked Guo Tailai coldly.
"I'll take a look at the design drawing and the original stone." Guo Tailai didn't answer directly, but asked to see the original stone and the design drawing.
Chu Fei stared at Guo Tai for a while, then turned to look at Yan Shengnan. Yan Shengnan let out a long sigh, and took out a few photos and a few printed design drawings.
Guo Tailai took the photo and frowned: "Didn't you bring the original stone?" Without the original, it is difficult to accurately measure the size, which is more troublesome.
Looking at the photo, Guo Tailai found that the person who took the photo was very experienced, so he directly took a one-yuan coin as a reference, and could estimate the size of the rough stone relatively accurately. In particular, there is more than one photo of the original stone, and one is taken from multiple angles, which is very clear.
According to these photos, Guo Tailai can easily construct the three-dimensional structure of this rough stone in his mind.
As Chu Fei said, the outline of this rough diamond looks like two hearts leaning together. It’s not big, the longest length is less than 2 cm, the width is less than half of it, and the thickness is a bit small, about 5 mm. It hasn’t been cut and polished yet, so I can’t tell how pure it is from the photos. The color should be transparent. Yes, but the original stone still shows a little white, like small pieces of rock sugar.
"About how much?" Guo Tailai asked casually.
"Gross weight 5 carats." Yan Shengnan quickly reported the weight of the rough stone.
After flipping through the photos, Guo Tailai began to look at the design drawings carefully. Chu Fei's design drawing is hand-drawn, not a perfect mechanical drawing, but every surface is clearly drawn, and there are also all angles. Of course, the size is also marked.
"Good amateur design." Guo Tailai shook his head as he looked at the picture. As a finishing master from the Department of Precision Instruments, this is the first time he has seen such an amateur design drawing.
However, Guo Tailai also admitted that from the perspective of fashion or aesthetics, Chu Fei's hand-drawn drawings maximized the beauty of the diamonds she designed after cutting, but lost the biggest point, precision. Some faces look good, but in fact, the cut out is not the effect.
"There is a problem with the design here." Poor accuracy is not a problem. Guo Tailai was still able to quickly build a 3D model, and he quickly pointed out the problem found after a quick calculation in his mind.
"How come? I've counted several times!" Chu Fei frowned, obviously not believing what Guo Tai said.
Guo Tailai was about to explain that Wu Shanshan and her companion had returned with receipts. Guo Tailai exchanged a few words with Wu Shanshan again, told Wu Shanshan that he would not come here again, and after making an appointment to make a phone call, the two left happily.
Turning around, Guo Tailai didn't argue much with Chu Fei, just took a piece of plasticine, and carved a diamond model on the spot that was cut according to Chu Fei's design.
"Look, this side and this side, according to your design, these two sides should be bigger." Guo Tailai spoke directly from the facts, pointing to the two sides with a screwdriver and said: "But in fact, it can't be done." , can only be made at this angle, and the area will be relatively reduced. In addition, there will be problems with refraction, which will affect the overall effect.”
Neither Chu Fei nor Yan Shengnan was surprised that Guo Tailai sculpted a model so easily. However, Guo Tailai claimed that the design was wrong only relying on the two-dimensional hand-drawn design, which made Chu Fei a little unconvinced.
"The angle of this face can obviously be slightly larger, so that it can fit my design." Chu Fei argued childishly, pointing to Guo Tailai's first face.
Without further ado, Guo Tailai carved another model of the original stone, pointed to the corresponding part and said to Chu Fei: "See, you think too much about this fold. Look at the photo, there is a very thin line here, and If it is discontinuous, this piece cannot support a single surface, so the design angle can only be changed.”
Now Chu Fei was completely speechless, she even forgot to be surprised that Guo Tailai could perfectly restore the 3D physical model by only looking at the photos from a few angles, and Guo Tailai even discovered a small place that she hadn't noticed in an instant.
Chu Fei really wanted to say that what Guo Tai said was wrong, but her rationality told her that what Guo Tai said was right, the shape of the rough stone was indeed the same, and she did not consider this extremely thin seam when she designed it.
"Redesign!" Guo Tailai directly returned all the design drawings and photos to Yan Shengnan, and gave her a phone call by the way: "Call me after you redesign. Oh, by the way, don't call me before the Spring Festival." Yes, I will go back to my hometown during Chinese New Year.”
Seeing Guo Tailai leave so abruptly, Chu Fei was confused for a while. Yan Shengnan also couldn't understand it. It seemed that he had never seen a man of his age say such things to Chu Fei.
"Sister Yan, what do you think?" Seeing Guo Tailai disappear, Chu Fei, who was standing by the watch stand, turned her head and asked Sister Yan.
"A master!" Yan Shengnan didn't call him a liar this time, and directly gave an evaluation that she thought was pertinent.
