Start with a blacksmith shop.

Guo Shugui had examined all six watches he possessed at this moment.

That means he can materialize all six watches in the laboratory.

If it can be materialized, then it means that its manufacturing technology can be fully mastered through disassembly.

For him, this brought him one step closer to his goal of making watches.

After he handed the watch back to Guo Shugui, the watch was put back in the cabinet.

Guo Shugui put the watch away and turned to him, saying...

"Come on, I'll take you to see my dad's watches. None of his watches are the same as any of my six."

"I'll have my mom bring out all her watches later. I believe having these watches should provide you with some inspiration."

After saying that, he walked towards the main house, and he followed.

Before he even entered the room, he said to the two people inside, "Dad, where's your watch? Let Li Zhenhua take a look and learn from his success."

After entering the room, he went straight to Guo's mother and hugged her arm.

"Mom, I need a favor. Could you show me your watch so my brother can see it? I already told you why."

In Li Zhenhua's eyes, Guo Shugui's behavior was not a request at all, but rather a pleading.

After learning about this, Guo's father and mother first went to the bathroom to wash their hands, and then went to a room.

He waited in the living room for only a few minutes when he saw the elderly couple come out from the inner room. Guo's father was carrying a large box, while Guo's mother was empty-handed.

He placed the large box on the coffee table in the living room, and Guo's mother looked at him.

"Xiao Li, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?"

The box in your Uncle Guo's hand contains both of our watches; they're all here!

Following Guo's mother's words, Guo's father pushed the large box toward him.

"Thank you for your trust, Aunt Guo and Uncle Guo. I'll get started now!"

He said something polite, but his hands were anything but. He opened the large box, revealing a box full of watches.

He picked one up at random, and it was a designer watch he had never seen before.

He had never even heard of many of these brands, but just by looking at the design of the watch, he felt an air of luxury about it.

He had been examining each watch carefully for over two hours.

Guo Shugui and his parents were no longer with him in the living room.

Finally, he placed the watches one by one into the box, then carried the box to the restaurant.

They saw Guo Shugui waiting at the dining table, while his parents were busy in the kitchen.

He placed the box in front of Guo Shugui and said, "I've looked at all these watches. You can give them back to your uncle and aunt later."

"You've seen it all? Okay, I'll take it home in a bit. So, what did you think after watching it?"

Guo Shugui took the large box from his hands, held it in his arms, and looked at him, asking questions.

"After looking at them, I didn't really feel anything; I just thought all these watches looked really nice."

Some of the watches are even set with diamonds, making them look very valuable.

But the more watches like these are, the less they fit my taste.

My idea is not to focus on craftsmanship, but rather to pile on precious gems.

Guo Shugui listened attentively. He had been collecting watches for a long time and had his own insights into them.

After hearing his explanation, he knew that this was his current understanding of watches.

"I know what you mean; you're talking about the quality of watches."

It doesn't depend on the price of the raw materials, but on the watchmaking technique, is that what you mean?

Guo Shugui, not giving him a chance to speak, continued, "But you must understand, in this world, besides these external factors..."

Not many people really pay attention to the watch itself anymore; it has become a symbol.

A symbol of wealth, a top-tier luxury item.

Therefore, I think you shouldn't abandon this direction. Existence is its own justification, especially a direction that has existed for so long.

After hearing Guo Shugui's explanation, Li Zhenhua finally understood.

He did make a subjective mistake just now. He should have looked at things more comprehensively instead of being presumptuous and making sweeping generalizations.

Having learned a lesson from Guo Shugui, he now has a general idea of ​​the watches he plans to design.

But at this moment, under Guo Shugui's influence, his ideas were also rapidly taking shape.

He ate something at Guo Shugui's house and, at the warm invitation of Guo's parents, stayed overnight in Guo's courtyard house.

That very night, he snatched a plane ticket back home.

The reason I didn't take the train is that train tickets were still incredibly difficult to buy at that time, while plane tickets were relatively easier to obtain.

The next morning, he said goodbye and left Guo Shugui's house.

No matter what Guo Shugui and his family did, they couldn't keep him around for the New Year.

After another day's journey, he finally returned to his blacksmith shop.

Lying on my bed on the second floor, looking at the still bright sky outside the window, I didn't care what time it was and was completely absorbed in my thoughts.

He re-manifested a table in the space, and then materialized all the watches he could currently materialize onto the table.

All the watches were displayed one by one, and they were arranged in categories such as semi-automatic, fully automatic, and quartz.

He once again turned his attention to these watches, and the dismantling journey is about to begin again.

One by one, the watches were disassembled into their parts under his hands.

Having had the experience of disassembling a Breguet watch before, he now has considerable experience in how to disassemble a watch.

The internal structures of these watches are all very similar.

Watches have become quite mature in their development, and unless there are any major technological advancements...

As things stand, there are no more innovative technologies available from Taiwan.

After disassembling all the watches, he became very familiar with them.

Having gained a deep understanding of so many different types of watches, he felt confident in making his own.

His first choice was not to change the internal structure, but to replicate a movement.

When making a replica, use your best skills to create it and see if there is any difference between what you make and the original.

Only after he has completely closed these gaps can he begin to work on the internal structure of these movements.

As he crafted each watch, comparing it to the original after each production, his skills grew stronger through this method of constantly identifying and addressing shortcomings during production.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it's nine o'clock in the morning. I get up and get dressed.

After getting dressed, he felt that he had missed something while checking the time.

Looking at the wall again, he realized what he had missed; that strange feeling was actually from the clock.

Having gained an understanding of clocks, he increasingly looked down on the electronic clocks on the wall.

As he stared at the clock in a daze, someone knocked on the downstairs roller shutter door.
