The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen was sitting in the office, staring blankly at the sketchbook spread out in front of him. When Liu Ligan came in, he knew that this guy was still holding back the debt owed by that American girl.

Liu Ligan came over and said to Zhang Chen, "Is that American girl urging you again?"

Zhang Chen shook his head and said no, but she didn't mention it again.

"That's great. Don't think about it. Maybe that American girl has forgotten about it." Liu Ligan said.

Zhang Chen said no, if she forgets, I will have to design something for her.

"Are you stupid? You don't need to rely on this to make a living, so why torture yourself like this." Liu Ligan said.

Zhang Chen said: "Think about it, even if she forgot, how could she forget? It was only after she decided that I was a person who broke my promise that she put it aside, right? She forgot, but The impression that I didn't keep my promise also left a mark on her, which is worse than not forgetting."

Liu Ligan thought it made sense and said, "What should we do?"

"The only way is to design something for her to let her know that even if she has forgotten, I have not forgotten my promise to her. Only in this way can I eliminate her impression."

As Zhang Chen said, Liu Ligan laughed and cursed: "Okay, you are more damn loyal to this American girl than to your first love."

"Fuck you, my first love was Jin Lili." Zhang Chen cursed, which meant that it wasn't that I wasn't loyal to her.

"No matter who she is, let's go, let's go eat first, and then come back and continue your unrequited love."

As Liu Ligan spoke, he stretched out his hand and turned off the lamp on Zhang Chen's desk. The table became cloudy for a moment, but Zhang Chen's eyes lit up. Zhang Chen reached out and turned on the lamp again, and took the pen. Liu Ligan knew that he was inspired, so he stopped disturbing him.

Liu Ligan walked out and walked to Xiao Zhao's office. Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao were standing there. The two were communicating about the situation of the parent-teacher conference between Xiangnan and Xiangbei last night.

Seeing Liu Ligan coming in, Tan Shuzhen asked: "How is it? Is Zhang Chen okay?"

"Go hungry, Comrade Zhang is inspired." Liu Ligan said, "I don't know when it will be better."

"What inspiration?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"Probably designing something for Jessica." Liu Ligan said.

Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao both sat down. They both knew that this matter had been bothering Zhang Chen for a long time. Tan Shuzhen said, "Then just wait."

Zhang Chen sat there, finishing one painting and then another, and drew seven or eight in a row. Then he stopped, put down his pen, looked at the lamp on the table and smiled stupidly. He smiled before he remembered, Liu Ligan and the others were still waiting for him to go out for dinner. He really felt hungry and jumped up from his chair.

He walked to Xiao Zhao's office next door. Xiao Zhao saw him coming in and asked, "Is the painting done?"

"Okay." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"What did you draw?" Tan Shuzhen asked curiously.

"Do you want to watch it now or come back after dinner?" Zhang Chen asked.

Liu Ligan scolded: "You guy, after you finish painting, you can still eat. You have whetted our appetite. How can we eat? Let's go for a walk. Of course we are watching now."

Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao also laughed.

The four people returned to Zhang Chen's office. Zhang Chen spread out his sketchbook and showed them page by page. Zhang Chen said:

"Gangzi, when you just turned off the lights, I remembered it and designed the lamps. Do you still remember those flower windows we saw in Zhuge Village? I just thought of using thin wooden boards to hollow out Chinese paper-cut style patterns. Such a board can be used as a lampshade and can be made into a cylindrical shape and can be made into a floor lamp and placed on the ground.

“Put it on the table, it’s a table lamp, hang it up, and the bottom is empty, it’s a chandelier.

"Think about it, when the lights inside are turned on and these patterns are reflected indoors, the light and shadow are so beautiful."

As Zhang Chen was talking, he was flipping through the pages. Liu Ligan and the others saw that he had drawn square, triangular and round columns. These were floor lamps, and they were indeed very beautiful.

If hung on the wall, it is a wall lamp of various shapes; if hung on the ceiling, it is a chandelier.

Liu Ligan said, yours is more like a light box.

"Yes, it's the concept of a light box." Zhang Chen nodded and said.

"It's a lantern when you hold it in your hand." Tan Shuzhen said.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, okay.

"Make it smaller and put it on the table or in the bar." Liu Ligan said.

"It's just an idea, and this idea can be extended." Zhang Chen said, "Don't foreigners' houses have front and back yards? If the wooden boards are replaced with thin aluminum plates or stainless steel plates, with white plexiglass inside, then it can be done Various garden lights are produced.”

"This is good. Make a batch. We can use it in Mishihe Park and in each of our communities." Liu Ligan shouted, and Tan Shuzhen nodded. She also thought this was good.

"I have already thought about it. We will use this for the street lights in our new factory. They are made into low walls. The content is a reduced version of the Holy Book. On each lamp, there is a sign of 'Half an Acre of Field'." Zhang Chen said.

"That's so beautiful." Xiao Zhao sighed.

"That's right, make a batch for us, and each one has the logo of our Zhejiang Splendid Land, so that when people arrive at our site, they will know it immediately." Liu Ligan shouted.

Zhang Chen said yes.

"How about it?" Liu Ligan asked, "I'll find someone to do it tomorrow."

"You idiot, you can just make the sample lamp yourself. Didn't you say it's a light box? Just like making a light box, you only need a wire saw. But for this board, you need to choose a lighter board. You can use sycamore board." Zhang Chen said.

Liu Ligan asked: "Can't we use plywood?"

"No, the texture is not good, and it looks cheap at first glance. Also, if you use a wire saw to cut out the plywood, think about the saw kerf."

Liu Ligan agreed, that would be too rough.

"Can we go have dinner now?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

"Okay, I think I have become Old Tang now and need meat, a lot of meat." Zhang Chen said.

"Hey, I haven't seen that pair of darlings for a few days. I asked them to come and eat roasted lamb legs."

Liu Ligan picked up the phone as he spoke, and Tan Shuzhen said, how could he not have eaten at this time?

"It doesn't matter if you eat it again. That's Old Tang, extraordinary."

Liu Ligan called Old Tang. Old Tang was working overtime in the factory, and Lin Shuwan was also there. When they heard about the roast lamb leg, both Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao went. Old Tang quickly said, okay, you tell my brother, We'll be there soon.

"Your brother?" Liu Ligan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Old Tang was talking about Zhang Chen. She followed Lin Shuwan and called Zhang Chen not "boss" but brother. Liu Ligan laughed and cursed:

"Old Tang, are you so sweet-mouthed now? Isn't it time to call me brother?"

…

The next day, Zhang Chen went to the timber market, but did not find such a thin sycamore wood board. The owner of a shop selling imported wood boards asked Zhang Chen what he was looking for sycamore wood boards for. Zhang Chen showed him his sketchbook and told him, For lamp shade.

After the boss saw it, he told Zhang Chen that you can't use sycamore boards.

"Why?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Light bulbs have a temperature, and sycamore wood burns easily. Over time, it will not only deform, but also cause problems," the boss said.

When Zhang Chen heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. Yes, how could he have forgotten about this? Such a thin board could easily be ignited if it was roasted by a light bulb at such close range for a long time, which would cause trouble.

The boss looked at Zhang Chen's frustrated look and said, It doesn't matter, brother, there is a kind of plate that can meet your requirements.

"What is it?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Cork board," the boss said.

As soon as the boss said this, Zhang Chen laughed. Yes, why did he forget about the cork board? Unfortunately, he still does decoration, and using cork board for this is the most suitable.

Cork board is not a wooden board, but oak bark is crushed into particles, and then fumigated at high temperature through equipment to expand the fragrant bark particles and release natural resin, which are bonded to form cork bricks, which are then polished and cut to be made as needed. Cork boards of varying thicknesses.

The entire production process of cork board is 100% natural, without adding any glue, colorants, flame retardants or other chemical mixtures. It is an internationally recognized green building material. Foreigners especially like to use it to decorate villas, wooden houses, theaters, audio-visual rooms, hotels, etc. wait.

The texture of cork board is good enough, and a special benefit is that it is a natural heat-insulating and flame-retardant material. The temperature of a light bulb is child's play for it.

Zhang Chen quickly asked the boss: "Do you have cork boards here? They should be thinner and have finer grains."

"Can the roll material be used? It's from Portugal." The boss said.

Zhang Chen said yes.

The boss found three tubes of rolling material and asked Zhang Chen to choose. Zhang Chen chose the one with the finest particles.

Zhang Chen went back with the cork roll, and found another problem, that is, how to make it. It would definitely not work with a wire saw, because the cutting edge would look like a dog bite.

When Zhang Chen and the others were decorating in the past, they always used a utility knife and ruler. The ruler pressed against the cork board. The utility knife cut hard and it came off. It was easy to cut and the edges were smooth. But if you want to create a paper-cut effect, use Utility knife, definitely not.

Zhang Chen was helpless and sat there in a daze again. Xiao Zhao walked in and saw him and said to him, "Please help me, spread the hero message widely and let everyone help me think of a solution."

Old Tang studied printmaking, so Zhang Chen first thought of asking him. Old Tang said yes, he could knock it out with a carving knife, but it would take some time.

Qu Tianjian knew it and said with a smile, what kind of carving knife to use? If you do it by hand, how can you guarantee the quality? If you get to the back of the carving and accidentally cut it off, will all your previous efforts be wasted?

When Zhang Chen thought about it, it really made sense.

"Mr. Zhang, how thick is your cork board?" Qu Tianjian asked

"Three millimeters." Zhang Chen said.

"Bring the pattern over here, and I'll make a die for you. Just punch it with a punch. I can punch paper cards with five millimeters. The density and strength of paper cards are greater than yours. I can punch yours. , there is definitely no problem." Qu Tianjian said.

"I'm just going to make a sample and a mold?" Zhang Chen asked.

"You will definitely use die cutting tools in the future, and you will also carve by hand? Your entire process flow is not up to standard. What will you do if someone places an order? Do you want to do it at the last minute?"

Qu Tianjian asked. When Zhang Chen thought about it, it really made sense. Isn't this the same as making your own clothes? You can't just sew a sample by hand. When someone places an order and their requirements are the same as the sample, you can sew them all by hand. ?

Zhang Chen handed the pattern to Qu Tianjian. Qu Tianjian spent a day making the knife mold. After installing it, he punched out the flower cork board very easily. Zhang Chen looked at it for himself and felt that Too beautiful.
