Chapter 66: This is the first big order I received

"It's not as amazing as you say. It's just a personal hobby. He just reproduced the design I drew when I was a kid. It's fine if I just play with it myself, but I won't accept orders."

Jiang Mengyan shook her head repeatedly.

It wasn't that she said that on purpose.

In her opinion, Lin Han was a novice and was still using the unprofessional design drawings he had made when he was a child.

If you take orders from other people with this level of ability, you would be cheating them.

"Did you make this earring design yourself?"

Cui Yanran fell into a daze again.

"Yes, I drew it randomly when I was a kid. It was mainly because of Lin Han's optimization of the design that I was able to make it."

When mentioning Lin Han, Jiang Mengyan smiled shyly.

"."

Cui Yanran took a deep breath and said, "Professor Jiang, please stop being so modest."

She sat down opposite Jiang Mengyan:
"I have been into colored gems for several years. Your pair of earrings is so well made that it is hard not to be tempted.

I really admire Lin Han's craftsmanship and your designs, and I really want you to take an order and help me design a piece of jewelry.

I will pay you the price of a top private designer. The color gems depend on the design. If I bring them myself, I will pay an additional 30%. If you pay for them, I will pay an additional 10% of the market price.

How about it? This condition is really generous! "

Jiang Mengyan was a little embarrassed.

During the past few days at work, when Cui Yanran has nothing to do, she will discuss colored treasures with other female professors in the office. It can be seen that she really likes it.

Jiang Mengyan herself didn’t understand the market price of this kind of thing, but it seemed impossible for Cui Yanran to slap herself in the face in front of so many colleagues.

just
"Professor Cui, I understand what you mean."

Jiang Mengyan nodded: "It is our honor that you value Lin Han's craftsmanship so much.

But after all, he made the thing, and even though I'm his girlfriend, I can't make decisions for him.

If you really want him to make it for you, just tell him directly?"

"no problem!"

Cui Yanran nodded happily, and then smiled and said:

"I'll go call him over and ask him."

Lin Han is also considered an outstanding student in the Faculty of Arts, and he often interacts with professors from the Faculty of Arts.

If she asked, Lin Han would probably not refuse.

Standing up and walking quickly to the teaching assistant's workroom next to the professor's office, Cui Yanran knocked on the door and poked her head in:

"Assistant Lin, would it be convenient for you to come out for a moment?"

"Professor Cui?"

Lin Han was stunned and nodded: "Okay."

After listening to Cui Yanran's account of the whole story, Lin Han found it a little funny.

He thought it was a work matter, but he didn't expect that Cui Yanran was impressed by Jiang Mengyan's earring craftsmanship and wanted to ask him to take an order.

Who would refuse an order that is delivered to the door? But before that, you have to take precautions first.

"Professor Cui, if you really want me to design and make a piece of jewelry for you, that's no problem.

But I have to make it clear that after all, I am not as experienced as the masters in professional design studios, so the quality of my products may fluctuate.

And Mengyan is not a professional pattern designer, so these are all variables. If you think these are acceptable, I would be happy to make a piece of jewelry for you."

Lin Han said.

“Design is something that is different for different people, there is no fixed rule.

I have also worked with many independent designers, and it is normal to have fluctuations, and I can accept that.”

Cui Yanran smiled and said:
“But there’s one thing wrong, I want you to do not one thing, but five things.

A set of 5 pieces of wedding hardware in matching styles. ”

Lin Han was stunned. Wow, this is such a big order for the first time.

"Okay, tell me what you need."

Although he was surprised for a moment, Lin Han quickly calmed down and nodded.

For him, there is not much difference between doing one thing and doing five things. The only difference is the time spent.

"happy."

Seeing Lin Han agreed straightforwardly, Cui Yanran also smiled:
“This set of jewelry is for my sister-in-law, she and my brother are already engaged.

But when choosing hardware, she didn't like the finished products in the jewelry store, thinking they were too tacky, so I want to make an appointment with you to make a set of hardware jewelry.

The requirement is that the shape is unique, elegant and not tacky.

The total weight of gold for the five pieces of earrings, necklace, hairpin, ring and bracelet is about 5 grams. There is no limit on the type and quantity of other gemstones that can be used as long as they are harmoniously matched.

As for the labor cost, it generally depends on the complexity of the workmanship, which is 30%-50% of the gold price. I will give you 40% directly, and the price of the colored gemstones used will be calculated separately. What do you think?"

Lin Han narrowed his eyes slightly.

Cui Yanran made this order in a very pleasing way.

If you ask for gold jewelry, she can melt it down and make another one if you are not satisfied with the finished product, and the inlaid gems can also be removed and used to make another piece of jewelry.

In other words, it is equivalent to using public funds to test his level.

But Lin Han didn't care.

Since he dared to accept it, he would guarantee that Cui Yanran would be satisfied.

The gemstone raw materials are all obtained through system lottery, so there is no cost. Including the labor cost, he can earn at least tens of thousands from this order.

Although it is far less than the achievement rewards, it is long-lasting and stable.

It’s obvious at first glance that Cui Yanran is an expert. If I can satisfy her, why would she worry about not getting orders in the future?
"no problem"

Lin Han was about to agree, but Cui Yanran smiled and added:
"Also, I hope this order is a blind one."

"Blind Cheng?"

"Yes, that is, before production, I will explain my requirements and ideas to you clearly, but during the production process, you don't need to review the drawings and modeling for me, you can just make the finished product for me.

How about that, is it okay? "

Except for some designers who are extremely confident in their design concepts, ordinary studios would not dare to accept this kind of ordering method easily.

Because jewelry is expensive, if the customer is not satisfied with even one detail, they may send it back for redoing, which is a thankless task.

Cui Yanran has enough money to pay for a set of 200 gold jewelry weighing 5 grams. What matters more to her is her own vision.

If Lin Han really has strong skills, then she is obviously the one who can discover a good horse.

Even if it is not, she won't lose anything. At worst, she can just melt it.

And now is obviously a great opportunity to test it.

"No problem, but I have to tell you first, minor adjustments after the production is released are fine, but I won't accept major changes."

Lin Han smiled.

"it is good!"

Cui Yanran's eyes lit up.

Lin Han could say such words, obviously he is very confident in his skills.

I don’t know what kind of surprise he can bring to me.

"My sister-in-law's wedding is in two months. Should that be enough time?"

"enough."

Seeing that Lin Han agreed, Cui Yanran happily left his payment account and paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan in advance.

"Will you prepare the gold and stone materials yourself or should I provide them?"

Finally, Cui Yanran asked.
