Chapter 590: Chapter 589 "A beer bottle?!
Facing the doubts of these few people, Wang Hao didn’t take them to heart at all.
"Hey, how can we know without trying?" Wang Hao headed into the workshop, "Come on, Master Zhong, show me what the tools are like first."
"This... ah, never mind, I can’t manage your penchant for wasting money if you have nowhere else to spend it," Master Zhong wore an expression as if he was witnessing the birth of a prodigal in front of him, sighing as he walked: "These young people nowadays... really, as soon as they get a bit of cash, they have no idea how to flaunt it properly..."
The group entered the workshop, and Wang Hao looked around.
The workshop was very tidy, even abnormally so...
The manager and Mr. Wu exchanged glances, and Mr. Wu chuckled softly, "Heh, I’ve moved all the designs and finished products out of here, let’s see if he can discover anything!"
Before the visit, Mr. Wu was afraid that Wang Hao was a spy sent by a competing adversary. Whether a true spy or a fake undercover, as long as people were willing to hand over money, he simply moved everything away to see what reaction there would be.
"Not bad at all," Wang Hao was actually very satisfied with the environment: "Clean and tidy, such an environment makes playing around here interesting."
He walked up to a polisher, then took a look at the raw materials around him and casually picked up a piece to examine closely.
"Mr. Wang, may I ask what you plan on making?" Master Zhong, after all, was the best jeweler here, and although he looked down on Wang Hao’s wasteful behavior, he still asked, "Earrings? A ring? A necklace? A pendant?"
Wang Hao put down the metal in his hand and replied, "Well... let’s start with a pair of earrings."
"Earrings, eh? Those are simple," Master Zhong nodded, then asked, "So, what materials do you plan to use? Gold? Platinum? Jade? Or diamonds?"
Mr. Wu added very timely from the side, "Mr. Wang, you can pick whatever you like, I’ll only charge you the cost price, no extra fees!"
He said this, but in his mind, he was determined—kid, you clearly look like an easy mark, if I don’t fleece you good on this great opportunity, all my years in the business world would have been for nothing!
The manager also stood to the side full of anticipation!
Such a big client, spending fifty thousand in one day? The materials you choose should at least cost a couple of hundred thousand, right? When that time comes, our commission...
Yet contrary to their expectations, Wang Hao’s next words completely devastated them!
"This material..." Wang Hao turned around the place and suddenly stumbled upon something good, his face lighting up with glee, "Haha, found it, this will do!"
"This... this is..." Everyone turned to look, and they were all stunned: "Beer... beer bottles?!"
Master Zhong was practically beside himself, yelling, "You rascal, are you purely here to mock me?! It’s your money and you’re free to waste it on making jewelry, and I won’t stop you from trying it yourself, but at least choose a decent material! What can you do with a beer bottle?! Can jewelry made from that even be worn?!"
"Yes, yes," Mr. Wu was wiping the anxious sweat from his brow, trying to persuade him non-stop, "Mr. Wang, please think it over carefully, I have many polished diamonds here, if you like something shiny just pick a couple of stones, but this beer bottle..."
The thing was, damn it, this stuff only cost fifty cents each, if you use this as a material will we all end up eating dirt?!
Besides, can this thing even work?! Have you ever seen anyone use this stuff to make jewelry?!
"Cut it out, you guys just don’t understand, do you?" Wang Hao, holding the amber beer bottle, chuckled, "Only something polished from this can show our sincerity! If I just wanted any odd item, why would I bother to come all this way instead of just buying it in your store?"
"But... but old man here, in all my years, I’ve never heard of using beer bottles for jewelry!" Master Zhong’s mustache was trembling with anger: "My machines are not made for polishing this kind of stuff! Are you sure it’s going to work? I’ve made over ten thousand pieces of jewelry and never seen this kind of operation!"
Wang Hao simply ignored them, walked to one side, and with a bit of force, cracked, the beer bottle shattered to pieces!
"Heh heh, not bad indeed," Wang Hao picked up the bottom of the bottle, examined it carefully from top to bottom, left to right, and said contentedly, "This color is good! Hmph, you’ve never seen a diamond of this color, have you?"
Everyone was dumbfounded and shook their heads in unison, "No, we haven’t!"
It seemed this guy was seriously going for it!
"Then that’s just right," Wang Hao said with a smile as he walked up to the polishing machine, "What’s the point of giving something that’s everywhere on the streets? Move aside, I’m about to start!"
Saying this, he put on the glasses that were off to the side, then sat down in front of the polishing machine, his face serious. After brewing his thoughts for a good while, he finally said, "Eh, how do you turn this thing on?"
Master Zhong: "..."
This prodigal son doesn’t even know how to turn on the machine and he wants to make jewelry!
Fine fine fine, let him do it! Let him do whatever he wants today!
Master Zhong directly turned on the machine, then instructed, "Just put your broken bottle bottom on and grind it, and when it gets small, remember to grip it with the pliers, or it will fly off."
"Got it," Wang Hao nodded. He first smashed the bottle bottom into two halves, then picked up one half and began to grind.
"Sshh Sshh Sshh Sshh—"
Sparks flew, and Wang Hao watched the gradually shrinking bottom of the bottle in his hand with utmost seriousness, becoming more and more cautious.
Actually, choosing this thing as a gift was a well-considered decision by Wang Hao.
Ordinary things didn’t catch Bai Yaning’s eye; even if he gave her a diamond ring or earrings worth several million, she might not like them, nor would it show his sincerity.
On the other hand, this thing, once polished, would symbolize a piece of his heart, not to mention it was good-looking and economical.
"Sshh Sshh Sshh Sshh—"
The sparks continued to fly. The piece of glass, which was originally the size of a thumb, had now been ground down to the size of a pinkie nail. It was no longer suitable to use this large grinding machine; a more refined one was needed.
Wang Hao gripped the piece of glass with the pliers and sat down in front of the smaller grinding machine, starting to polish it even more carefully.
The few people standing by watched with bated breath, all but Xia Xueqi showing a look of schadenfreude.
It was easy to grind a large piece down to a small one, the true challenge was just beginning!
"Take it slow, take it slow," Wang Hao slowed his breath, his eyes fixed tightly on the small piece of glass, bit by bit, he polished a tiny flat surface out of this pinkie-nail-sized glass shard.
Since it was to be made into jewelry, at least the basic diamond shape was required, and just then, as he was polishing the glass, he suddenly exclaimed "Huh!"
"Huh? What’s going on?!"
It turned out that a faint halo of light had begun to emerge from the piece of glass clamped in the pliers before his eyes!
