Chapter 173: Two Birthdays
After returning to school from Aocheng, Lin Xiaofan once again turned on the "scientific research" mode.
After dinner, there were still some people in the lab doing experiments.
Most of the undergraduates who "worked overtime" to do experiments in the laboratory were graduate students, and among the undergraduates who came to do their graduation projects, only Lin Xiaofan and Li Yifei were there.
Li Yifei: "Xiaofan, where did you go on vacation a few days ago?"
"Went to Australia City for a few days. β
"Okay, you, you don't even bring me when you go out to play, hum!"
Lin Xiaofan: "Eh, that, I'll invite you out to watch a movie this weekend and make amends to you, okay?"
Li Yifei pouted: "I'm not free, I still have to do experiments." For each graduate's thesis, there will be an excellent graduation thesis award. I'm going to get this award. β
"Then how do you think I should compensate you?"
Li Yifei thought for a while: "Do you know what day the 11th of next month is?"
Lin Xiaofan calculated the date and remembered one thing: "The 11th of next month is the day after my mother's birthday." β
"It's my birthday, and you're going to get me a present. β
Lin Xiaofan: "Oh, okay, I think about it, what kind of gift should I prepare?"
Li Yifei: "Be sure to surprise me, no surprise doesn't count." β
Lin Xiaofan began to have a headache, and he was not good at preparing surprises. And this time, what he wants to prepare are two birthday gifts, his mother's, and Li Yifei's.
Li Yifei: "Xiaofan, do you want to use that ultraviolet spectrophotometer in a while?"
"Well, I've got an experiment to use in a moment. β
Li Yifei: "I'll use it first in a while, you line up." β
Lin Xiaofan was helpless: "Okay, you use it first, I'll wait." β
There are not many electronic instruments in the laboratory, and this is often encountered when used.
Do you want me to buy some experimental facilities and do experiments?
Lin Xiaofan thinks this idea is very feasible.
ββββ
Lin Xiaofan's experiment is progressing very quickly, and there is still more than half of the time before the end of this semester, and his subject experiments are almost completed.
Lin Xiaofan found that he had a strong interest in doing experiments and scientific research. He rented a large basement in an office building near the school.
This basement is being renovated. Lin Xiaofan plans to transform it into his own private laboratory.
After the completion of this laboratory, its advanced degree is much more advanced than that of the research laboratory of Jinjiang University. Under Lin Xiaofan's high price to purchase a variety of advanced experimental instruments and equipment, the creation will be the most advanced laboratory in China.

Birthday gift, Lin Xiaofan thought about this question for a long time, and finally thought of a plan.
Before, in the "Warcraft Continent" chat group, Lin Xiaofan harvested a lot of natural gemstones.
Of these gems, he sold the ones that were not of good quality, but there were still a few excellent gems and diamonds in good condition. This gemstone and diamond can be used to make precious jewelry.
In Lin Xiaofan's heart, women have no resistance to beautiful jewelry, so this gift should surprise Li Yifei, and his mother will also like it.
With the gems, Lin Xiaofan came to the business district and found a high-end jewelry store.
When I walked into the store, a clerk immediately stepped forward: "Sir, welcome, what kind of jewelry do you want to buy?"
Lin Xiaofan: "Can you order jewelry here?"
"Yes, sir, please come with me. β
The clerk took Lin Xiaofan to the customer reception room. Generally, those who want to order jewelry are high-end customers.
Soon, a woman about thirty years old came, wearing professional clothes and a few pieces of jewelry, like the finishing touch, and her temperament was improved because of these pieces of jewelry: "Hello sir, I am the account manager, my surname is Shang." β
Lin Xiaofan: "Hello Manager Shang, you accept customized jewelry here, and it is my own gemstone." β
"Bring your own gemstones?" Manager Shang was surprised, most people order jewelry, just want to have a unique jewelry in the world, so they will ask designers to design and jewelry stores to make, but generally use the raw materials of jewelry stores.
Like Lin Xiaofan, who has his own gems, Manager Shang has never seen it.
Manager Shang thought for a while: "Yes, but the cost of this design and processing cost may be higher." β
In the case of bringing your own gemstones, the jewelry store can only earn design fees and processing fees, which are significantly lower than the high profits of the jewelry. That's why Manager Shang said that.
Lin Xiaofan: "As long as you have a good jewelry designer here, the cost is not a problem. β
Hearing Lin Xiaofan's words, Manager Shang was secretly happy in his heart, listening to Lin Xiaofan's tone, this is definitely a local tyrant.
Manager Shang: "Can I take a look at the gems you brought first?"
The quality of gemstones is directly related to profits, and if the quality of gemstones is not good, there will be no higher profits.
Lin Xiaofan took out the gem.
"Hissββ!"
The moment he saw the gem, Manager Shang gasped. Just by looking at it, she could see how extraordinary the gem was.
She has been an account manager for many years, and she has a very sophisticated vision. Just by looking at it, she could tell the approximate quality of the gemstone.
Whether it's size, color or transparency, these gemstones are in superb condition. What's more, such gemstones are not just one, but several. And this diamond is also the best natural rough diamond.
Manager Shang found that such a superb gem was actually taken out by Lin Xiaofan from a small cardboard box containing candy, and there was not even a decent box.
She was speechless, how could anyone treat these precious gems like this. Nowadays, there is only one piece of jewelry of the same grade as these gemstones.
And this one is the town store jewelry in this store.
Seeing these gems, Manager Shang was secretly happy in his heart, this time, the store could make a lot of money.
Manager Shang: "Sir, your gemstones are too precious, and there are no such top jewelry designers in the store for the time being. But don't worry, I can contact the headquarters right away and have the headquarters send our top designers. β
"A big customer like you will definitely attract the attention of the headquarters. The one sent by the headquarters will definitely be a truly top design master, and you will definitely be satisfied. You see?"
Lin Xiaofan: "How long will it take?"
Manager Shang: "If I inform the headquarters now, a designer will come tomorrow at the latest." β
"Alright, then you can inform your headquarters now. β
Manager Shang: "Okay, when our designer arrives, I will notify you to come, and our designer will communicate with you and design a work that satisfies you according to your requirements and ideas." β
Lin Xiaofan left his contact information, paid the deposit, and left the jewelry store.
ββββ
Two days later, Lin Xiaofan received a notice from the jewelry store and came to the jewelry store to meet the designer.
The jewelry designer is a thirty-year-old man who looks very lean. The designer, who had studied abroad in Europe, was talented in jewelry design and was one of the best designers in the younger generation of the jewelry company.
Because Lin Xiaofan is very young, the company sent him who is also young, hoping to have more common language with Lin Xiaofan.
"Who would you like to give jewelry?"
Lin Xiaofan: "I want two pieces, one for my mother and the other for a birthday gift from a friend of mine. β
"Friend?birthday present?Is it a female friend?"
Lin Xiaofan's face was slightly red: "It's a female friend and a classmate, and there is no other special relationship." β
The designer nodded, with a "I understand" expression.
"And what jewelry do you want to do with these, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, or?"
Lin Xiaofan: "What do you think is appropriate?"
Designer: "You have a lot of gems here, it is recommended to make a necklace, atmospheric." β
Lin Xiaofan: "Okay, then make two necklaces." β
"What style do you want?"
Lin Xiaofan: "I don't understand this, you can design it." The one for my friend, it has to be characteristic, she has a lot of personality. β
"Then I'll give you a design draft in three days, and I'll revise it if you give some comments, you see?"
Lin Xiaofan: "Okay." β
