Chapter Eighty-Four: The Dream of Three Generations
"You said you resisted me at first, why?" The reflex arc of buying, buying, buying
"Grandpa looked for you when he was alive. Jin Ran did not shy away from the question.
Did you look for it before you died?
When did the old man die?
"When did it happen?"
After the incident with the mask master, didn't the old man still help and tell Jin Ran to let Mai Mai Mai take the soaked watch to the studio?
Before I had time to thank him, why did the old man pass away.
"Two years ago. Jin Ran's answer made Mai Mai Mai even more shocking.
"Impossible, the old man sent a private message to my Weibo half a year ago. "It's impossible to buy and buy, and then I know that I have said the wrong thing.
Jin Ran is the grandson of Jin Qiang's grandfather, whether the old man is still alive or not, he will definitely know better than the outsider.
In the past few years since Maimaimaimai left Weibo, a lot of things have happened that Maimaimai didn't know.
One year and eight months before the accident at home, Maimaimai's Weibo received a private message from the old man [Little girl, are you there?]
The news of that day was sent by the old man himself.
At that time, the old man's health was already very bad.
It was also at that time that Jin Ran successfully passed the audit of the successor inheritor.
Jin Ran doesn't have much seniority, but AHCI, the youngest member of the Swiss Independent Horlogeries Association, is enough to make him stand out from the crowd.
AHCI has only 34 members worldwide.
The threshold for joining AHCI is so high that countless watchmakers have not been able to achieve it in their lifetimes - they must bring their own independently produced clocks to Baselworld for three consecutive years.
Before the age of twenty, Jin Ran had already accomplished something that other watchmakers could not accomplish at the age of forty, fifty, or even in a lifetime.
Jin Ran's qualifications in the watch industry, put back in China, he said that he ranked second, and no one dared to rank in front of him.
It's just that the profession of independent watchmaker is not well known in China.
Jin Ran's fame in the Swiss watch industry is much greater than in China.
Grandpa Jin Qiang is very proud of his grandson.
He felt that his lifelong love of clock-repairing skills needed to be inherited, but creating a timepiece with a dozen levels should become a young man's dream.
This is also why the old man never thought that his grandson would have the will to return to China to be the intangible inheritor of Qiangda Studio.
It's the same reason that he couldn't let Maimaimai come to the studio as an apprentice before.
It's just that Grandpa Jin didn't expect that Q&D Studio would face a situation where there would be no successor after he left.
The old man looked at Lu Yiyang and felt that everything was good, and the communication with Lu Yiyang was also very accustomed to a very familiar pattern, and there were few things that were unclear between master and apprentice.
As long as you can match Lu Yiyang's frequency, you can quickly understand how he simplifies the complex process, just like buying, buying, buying.
However, it is difficult for most people to understand his true intentions through Lu Yiyang's expression at the first time.
The old man's body has always been tough, but after knowing that he has no successor, he can't afford to get sick.
Jin Ran told his grandfather that he was willing to return to China to take over the studio.
Jin Ran became famous at a young age, and with the aura of genius, he entered the Geneva Watch School in Switzerland, and became the last closed disciple of the legendary watchmaker Mr. Roger Dubuis, who graduated from the same school.
The Geneva School of Horology is the birthplace of the Geneva School, one of the world's top horological schools.
Roger Dubuis is known as the top eponymous watch brand known as the model of precision mechanics. Founder of Dubuis.
Over the years, a number of domestic watchmakers and watch brands have participated in the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, but they have all been accompanied.
However, in the field of contemporary watchmaking, there is no place for Chinese watchmakers.
Compared with the watch schools that are blooming everywhere in Europe, with Switzerland as the center, there is no shortage of domestic watch technicians and research institutions.
This is also the reason why the repair skills of antique clocks and watches, which are as old as the old, have become "intangible cultural heritage" that needs to be protected.
At the age of thirteen, Jin Ran already had his own dream - to win the highest award in the watch world, the GPHG Grand Prix de la Haute Horlogerie, the Oscar of the watch industry, as an independent watchmaker.
This is also why, the old man has never hit Jin Ran with the idea of the inheritor of his studio.
The old man hoped that there would be a successor to his studio, but he didn't want Jin Ran to give up his dream and reject Jin Ran's proposal to return to China to take over at the beginning.
The old man always felt that his son's dream of doing a watch business was not very high-class, but his grandson's dream was the highest in the three generations of the family.
Jin Ran said that watch repair is the only way to become a top independent watchmaker, and his master Roger Dubuis and his idol won the 2004, 2006 and 2008 Gold Hands Award. JONRNE started his watch life from watch repair.
The old man's health was a little better, so he told Jin Ran that if he wanted to return to China, he would introduce him to a girl who liked antique clocks, had a talent for repairing watches, and was very infectious.
It was at that time that the old man sent the private message of [Little girl, are you there?].
It's just that the old man is old, and his physical condition will soon deteriorate sharply.
The old man walked very peacefully, and said to Jin Ran that he would remember to go and buy.
Grandpa Jin Qiang is not a person who is keen to pull the red line for his grandson, and the reason why he asked Jin Ran to buy and buy is because he feels that his grandson grew up in Europe, although he has learned Chinese since he was a child, he may have some deficiencies in Chinese expression and appeal.
may be because he regrets that he has cultivated a Lu Yiyang who can't speak and therefore can't become an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, and after the old man got sick, he was a little obsessed with language expression skills.
In the last days, the old man often sighed that if Lu Yiyang could have one-tenth of the little girl's language appeal, he would not have to let his grandson give up his dream in order to accommodate him.
Independent watchmaking is not a profession to be born with, but you certainly don't have the resources you would have had back home in Switzerland.
The old man said to Jin Ran that he was very familiar with Maimaimai.
He sent a message to buy, buy, buy, buy, and soon there will be an answer.
The fact is that until the old man died, the news sent to Maimaimai was still lost.
