Chapter 1229: Twelve watches

"Mr. Xiao, thank you for your hospitality, I will leave first!" A tall blond woman said goodbye to Xiao Peng in Qianliyan.
Xiao Peng smiled and shook hands with her: "This is what it should be. It allowed you to stay here for a few more days and wasted your travel time. I am also sorry."
After hearing this, the woman covered her mouth and smiled: "It's like heaven. To be honest, if there is no emergency, I really don't want to leave."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "As long as you don't dislike my simple and crude place, you are always welcome to visit Miss Lindewo."
Lindwo covered his mouth and smiled: "How many times have I said it, just call me Heidi, I can remember Mr. Xiao's words, and I will definitely come back to interrupt again in the future."
Xiao Peng nodded: "Welcome anytime, after all, we are partners, aren't we? But I have something to do, so I won't send you off, Old Pan, you send Miss Lindewo and others to the airport!"
Pan Peiyu helped with Miss Lindewo's luggage. The helicopter was already ready, and Xiao Peng watched several people leave.
Yang Meng came over: "How? It's done!"
Xiao Peng showed a triumphant expression: "That's a must! Come, let you open your eyes!"
This Heidi Lindevo is a senior manager of Lange Watches in Germany. This time he came to Qianliyan to discuss cooperation with Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng encountered a lot of trouble when buying high-end watch movements-he underestimated his popularity in the watch circle, or he underestimated the influence of the Swatch Group. Almost all The premium movement manufacturers have closed their doors to Xiao Peng.
The only one willing to sell Xiao Peng watch movement is this German Lange watch.
This Lange watch is not well-known in China, but it is definitely the world's top brand in the world's famous watches! To this day, Lange watches also uphold the tradition of the German precision watchmaking industry, insisting on only producing the best watches in the world, and the annual output is controlled within thousands of pieces. All watches only use gold or platinum case, quality and The prices are high for top brands.
In addition to the processing and modification of parts, this Lange watch is also an out-and-out special-grade movement! In order to make the quality of the movement's operation reach a more perfect level, they will also carry out the so-called'secondary assembly', that is, after the movement is assembled and adjusted, the whole is disassembled and reorganized again!
The first assembly is to check whether hundreds of parts in the movement are operating smoothly, and all the assembled parts will be disassembled and cleaned again to prevent scratches or dust infiltration during assembly. After cleaning, use the traditional The technique is decorated, carved and polished and then assembled again.
The cheap price of a watch core processed in this way is more than thousands of dollars. The expensive ones can even reach more than one hundred thousand dollars.
Xiao Peng purchased a batch of movements at twice the market price, including advanced movements such as CAL.LO31.1 and traditional movements such as CAL.L001.1.
As the senior management and future heir of the Lange Group, Heidi Lindevo is still very curious about Xiao Peng. She wants to know how good this man is and why it will make the world's haute horology circle distracted. So she came to Qianliyan as an excuse to discuss cooperation matters, and wanted to see Xiao Peng.
It happened that Xiao Peng was studying watches at the most critical time, so Pan Peiyu had to entertain her and her entourage to play on the island for a few days, and wait until the watch she made was completed.
Xiao Peng’s watch is not a joke. First of all, the case is different. The case material used by Xiao Peng is titanium alloy.
This titanium alloy is an alloy composed of titanium and other elements. In fact, titanium is not valuable. At present, China has an overcapacity of titanium, which is more than 40,000 per ton, which is more than 20 yuan per catty. But the price difference between different titanium alloys is very big. For example, titanium-magnesium alloy is more than 100 yuan per kilogram, and titanium-nickel memory alloy costs tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram. A titanium alloy screw on Bugatti is worth Fifty dollars, not to mention the military-grade titanium alloys on high-precision equipment such as satellites and airplanes. The titanium alloy used by Xiao Peng was the high-grade titanium alloy removed from the "Goldfish" that year. Yang Meng took a large chunk as a souvenir, Xiao Peng also said that he was so small, but now he is just using it!
But this material is not enough, and its processing technology must be mastered! Because the processing technology of advanced titanium alloys is too difficult!
Let's put it this way, people all over the world who design airplanes, as long as they can use aluminum alloys through structural optimization, will never use titanium alloys. This is because titanium alloys are too difficult to process!
Especially for titanium alloy welding technology, there are only three countries in the world that have mastered military titanium alloy welding technology, namely Xiong Guo, Huaxia and Stars and Stripes. Especially Xiong Guo, whose technology is unique in the world, otherwise he would not have produced the nuclear submarine ‘Komsomolskaya’ and dived more than one kilometer!
Xiao Peng himself did not have this titanium welding technology, so he was also worried at that time! He also wanted to ask Patriarch Kiri to help him get the fine titanium alloy welding technology, but later found out that he didn't need it at all!
Like other gems he carved, he directly blessed the carving knife into one body! This Nima is even more awesome! A lot of people are fooled by this watch case! Xiao Peng is the only one in the world that can achieve this technology.
The case problem is solved, and the core problem is solved. The next step is the design of the watch. The most important thing is the design of the watch surface.
Xiao Peng was too lazy to design, so he directly named his watch: Impression-Famous Painting! He made a total of twelve watches, six men's watches, and six women's watches. The dial design is twelve world-famous paintings, but they are not simple world-famous paintings!
The twelve world-famous paintings he chose are Van Gogh's "Sunflowers"; Klimt's "Kiss"; Kramskoy's "Anonymous Girl"; Picasso's "Avignon Girl"; and Whistler's "Gray and Black Concerto"; Matisse's "Dance"; Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring"; Qi Baishi's "High Litu of Pines and Cypresses-Seal Script Four-character Couplet", etc., any of them are the most famous in the Western world The paintings, and the authors are all from different countries.
And these paintings are not painted by Xiao Peng on the dial, but are inlaid with all kinds of small and inoperable gems! All gems are as small as hair, inlaid bit by bit! For these twelve watches, Xiao Peng is desperate, and even the one who hates diamonds the most, he went to De Beers to buy an 11-carat rough black diamond and a 9-carat rough black diamond, and they were knocked out. The powder, just to put the black on the dial.
In addition to the shocking design of the dial, the watch strap is made of whale skin with gemstones, which is extremely delicate! And there is another advantage of using whale skin as a watchband. For cowhide and crocodile leather watchbands, sweat and weather are their nemesis. After a long time, the watchband smells stinky, but whale skin does not have this problem: After all, whale skin has no sweat glands and sebaceous glands, so it will not store these flavors. And whale skin is more flexible and more durable.
All in all, compared with these watches, the watches Xiao Peng made in the past can only be described as "crude craftsmanship".
When Heidi Lindewo saw the watch made by Xiao Peng and was shocked, he directly negotiated cooperation with Xiao Peng: in the future, all Lange movements that Xiao Peng needs to use will be provided by their company for free, and will be returned to Xiao Peng every year. There are only two requirements for the advertising cost of Peng 6 million US dollars. The first is that Xiao Peng must introduce the Lange movement when he introduces his watch! The second is that Xiao Peng must guarantee the production of more than 12 watches each year.
This is simply too easy for Xiao Peng. There are so many famous paintings in the world.
As for how to hype the value of these watches? He didn’t have to do it himself. After seeing Xiao Peng’s finished watch, Heidi Lindwo didn’t do anything. He bought a high-end video camera and took all the watch details carefully, even though Xiao Peng did it. The watch is not made by Lange, but it is made by Lange movement after all. She will go to publicity as soon as she goes back. It is no exaggeration to say that such an exquisite watch is absolutely unprecedented ------ and Even if others want to copy Xiao Peng's approach, it is impossible: such a precision production cannot be completed within a few years. God knows how many people behind Xiao Peng can complete such a work!
If Xiao Peng knew her question, she would give an answer, but whether she believed it or not was another matter.
In addition to the previous research process time, Xiao Peng actually spent 12 days doing watch one! One piece a day!
Xiao Peng can't wait to see how everyone sees these watches. He carefully put the twelve watches in a light green translucent beryl watch box with a cushion made of whale skin, which looks even more expensive!
Such a watch won't make money? That's intolerable!
As soon as he installed the watch, he heard Yang Meng shouting from outside: "Xiao Peng! Xiao Peng!" Then he saw Yang Meng rushing in: "Things are a bit bad!"
Xiao Peng was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
Yang Meng said, "Wen Jie called just now and said it was a group of foreigners in town."
Xiao Peng shrugged: "What's wrong with the foreigner? Whale watching?"
Although Sidao Town has been under construction, the whale watching activities are on the sea, which does not delay.
Yang Meng shook his head: "No, I came to you. I heard that it was a joint investigation team investigating the disappearance of a shipwreck and treasure. Depending on the situation, it should be for the San Jose. Deng Tao of Guoan stopped over , This is to bypass the above directly."
Xiao Peng looked relaxed after hearing this: "Hey, what am I going to do, walk, let's see!"
