    It is great to see bosses that understand their business inside and out even if they are in a different country. America has lost that, and business seems all about cutting corners and avoiding regulations, and moving wealth to management anymore. The Chinese boss reminds me of Walt Disney when he was in his prime. It was all about the goal of the vision, realizing imagination, and about helping your people do that.

    Could they, though? He takes the materials and sculpts them down into little people, equipment, anything... It seems like to replace him you'd need someone to create the models on the computer, then you'd have to have one of the machines fabricating it (which would take a while), and then you'd possibly need someone to touch up the result (remove supporting structure and all that)... So it seems like this guy is possibly still the most efficient way forward. Also he's an amazing artist; I was kinda shocked at the quality emerging from just one man. In another world he'd be, like, doing commissions with a $3k+ monthly Patreon or something.

And we did it the old-fashioned way using illustration boards, glue, styrofoam, wires, etc. It was one of the most satisfying endeavors i've done in my life! This Chinese company's model-making is top-notch world-class! And the boss is clearly a hands-on manager and shows, without a doubt, why everything seems to work very smoothly in any aspect of the entire process. Thank you very much for uploading this video!

    That’s absolutely magnificent how all different disciplines and manufacturing process get combined, how hand made traditional process and new digital techniques, become one single finished product with hundreds of people involved behind. As an architect I can answer your question, usually the architectural scale models are made in monochromatic style same as digital models, cause the most important thing become understand the impact / how the building looks and interacts with its context, respect the volumetric context, the light and shadows, etc. It’s very common that the central building its made highly detailed and the so rounded context with general volume. When the scale model would be made for a client or the public in general, it has to show all full colors, details and even materials, also the surrounding buildings, with te purpose of live the experience and selling better your project. This became one of my favorite strangers parts chapters!

    China makes items to the quality that people are willing to pay for, whether it be the highest or lower quality. Blame the firms that import from China if their product is trash because they wanted to pay 20 cents to make something that costs 3 dollars! The "cheap Chinese crap" phrase is honestly just racist and quite dumb when you think about the fact that they also make the most high quality products we use. Then it is "but it is DESIGNED in Americaaaa" haha.

    @@hatepurrpp2651 That is simply untrue. We are investors and we toured factories big to small during a conglomeration effort to put a portfolio of factories on the market. They do work longer hours than us in North America on average, at around 10-11 hours. People working in North America also work 12+ hours regularly in our factories on days before the total hours worked in a week trigger overtime pay. China currently has a shortage of skilled labour and factory workers so the bargaining power is high. People often work very long hours because they want the money rather than "being worked to death" which implies they are being forced to. China moves extremely quickly, that reports from even last month are likely out of date to the current situation. Our failure in the West to gauge China is that we always use outdated information because we cannot comprehend that an article that is two years old can be out of date. I am simply not sure how you would know what an "average" Chinese factory is like unless you have toured and investigated them extensively.
