Chapter 0012 - Perfect Welding
The afternoon sun shines on the streets and alleys, and everywhere you go, it's like being in a steamer. Xia Lei braved the sun and finally found the machining shop on the transfer notice. It is at the mouth of an old alley, facing a large road, and the transportation is convenient.
The same transfer notice is posted at the door of the machining shop. The old man who had posted a transfer notice on the telephone pole at noon was packing up his things in the store, and he didn't notice Xia Lei looking inside at the door.
Xia Lei quietly observed the situation of this shop. He found that although the location is a bit out of the way, the traffic and people flow is very good. There is a Golden Rooster CS6140B lathe in the store, which looks like it is also six or seven percent new. This lathe he used before when he was working in a processing plant, and it was aimed at small machined parts, and the accuracy and practicality were good. There is also an electric welding machine and gas cylinder cutter in the store, and the tools are quite comprehensive. As far as the situation in the store is concerned, as long as he takes it down and prepares a little, he can open and do business.
After looking at the equipment and tools in the store, as well as the situation of the store, Xia Lei also had a little bit of a score in his heart, and then he walked into the machining shop.
Only then did the old man discover Xia Lei, he looked at Xia Lei, and said tentatively: "Young man, are you here to process things?"
"No, I'm here to talk to you. Xia Lei said: "I saw the transfer notice you posted, and it just so happened that I was a little interested. ”
A smile suddenly appeared on the old man's face, "It turns out that you are here to the shop, okay, I'll talk to you, please take a seat." ”
"No, just stand and talk. "Xia Lei didn't want the old man to see that he wanted this shop very much, in that case, he would definitely suffer a loss when negotiating the price.
The old man said, "Well, it's okay to stand and talk." What is your last name, young man?"
"Xia Lei. Xia Lei said, "Uncle, what about you?"
The old man smiled, "My surname is Jiang, you can just call me Uncle Jiang." ”
"Uncle Jiang, why didn't you do it?" Xia Lei asked.
"You can see it, I'm old, I'm sixty this year, and I can't do it. My eyes are also not good, and I always make mistakes when processing things for people, and I can't do it anymore. I want to go back to my hometown to hug my grandson, hehe, I've been tired for a lifetime, and I should enjoy a few years of Qingfu. "Uncle Jiang looks very cheerful.
"How's the business of this shop?" asked Xia Lei again.
Uncle Jiang said: "It's okay, in addition to rent, water, electricity and other expenses, you can earn 8910000 yuan a month." If it weren't for the fact that my eyes were bad, I would have been a little reluctant. If your craft is good, I believe the business will get better and better, young man. ”
Xia Lei said with a smile: "If the craftsmanship is good, of course the business will not be bad." Uncle, let's not go around the bush, I want to buy your store, how much do you want?"
Uncle Jiang touched his chin, "Well, that's it......"
At this moment, a man and a woman suddenly walked in, and Uncle Jiang also closed his mouth.
Xia Lei looked at the man and woman. The man's suit is straight, about thirty years old, with a tough figure, and his face and eyes look a little fierce, giving people a very unfriendly feeling. The appearance of the female twenty-five or sixteen, mature and sexy. She frowned as soon as she entered, as if the environment and people here made her feel uncomfortable.
The man in the suit said loudly, "Which of you is the boss?"
Uncle Jiang said, "I am, may I ask you what's the matter?"
The man in the suit said, "I have something that needs to be welded." After saying that, he gave a look to the sexy girl next to him.
The sexy girl then opened a briefcase in her hand and took out a red cloth bag from it. She opened the red cloth bag, revealing the contents wrapped in the red cloth. It was a very old cast-iron key, about seven inches in length, with a strange pattern on the surface. The key has been broken in two, and the imprint is an old mark, and I don't know when it was broken.
"Can you weld?" said the sexy girl, her voice soft and nice.
"I'll see. Uncle Jiang walked up and reached out to take the cast iron key.
The man in the suit suddenly grabbed Uncle Jiang's wrist, "This thing is very important, my requirements are not simply welded and finished, the lines on this key must not be damaged in any way, and it must be welded well, not more, not less, not high, not low, do you understand what I mean? If you are sure, you will take this job." ”
Uncle Jiang was stunned for a moment before saying, "This gentleman, your requirements are too high, I'm afraid I can't do it, you can find someone else to do it." ”
The man in the suit said: "I have inquired, and they all say that your craftsmanship is the best in this area, if you can help me weld this key according to my requirements, I will give you 5,000 yuan." ”
"Five...... Five thousand yuan?" Uncle Jiang looked surprised.
He opened a store for a month, worked tirelessly to earn 8910000 yuan, and welded a key to earn 5,000. In terms of the payout, it's really exciting.
"Are you okay?" the man in the suit took out two pieces of cast iron from the woman's briefcase, "If you can, you can solder this first, and if I think you can, you can take this job." ”
The cast iron sheet in the hand of the man in the suit has a similar pattern, which is curved and looks very complicated.
Uncle Jiang glanced at it, thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "The remuneration you give is very considerable, but your requirements are too high, even if my eyes are still as good as when I was young, I don't dare to take your job, not to mention now, I am old, I dare not take your job, you go find someone else." ”
"Don't even dare to try, what kind of store do you open?" the sexy girl's eyes were full of contempt.
I didn't like this, but Uncle Jiang also silently accepted it, "I'm sorry, I really can't do it, you go find someone else." ”
The man in the suit snorted coldly, "This store should be closed early, what kind of store will it open?" ”
Uncle Jiang has a good temper, and he also suffered this silently.
At this time, Xia Lei said loudly: "I'll take a look." ”
"Who are you?" the man in the suit stared at Xia Lei, with a little vigilance in his eyes.
Uncle Jiang followed and said: "Actually, I really don't plan to continue to open this store, he is here to sell my store." I can't, maybe he can, you can show him. ”
"Are you okay?" The man in the suit didn't believe in Xia Lei's craftsmanship very much, in his opinion, Xia Lei was just a hairy boy in his early twenties, and his craftsmanship would not be much better.
Xia Lei said: "I won't know until I try it, I'll weld these two pieces of cast iron first, and then you can take a look." ”
The man in the suit and the sexy girl exchanged glances, and the man in the suit handed the two pieces of cast iron to Xia Lei.
Xia Lei took two pieces of cast iron and first observed the lines on them, as well as the thickness of the cast iron sheets, and then walked to the welding machine to start the welding machine and put a cast iron electrode on the welding tongs.
"If you can't, don't do it. The sexy girl said that she didn't believe in Xia Lei's craftsmanship either.
Xia Lei didn't say a word, took the goggle and started welding.
It is not difficult to weld cast iron sheets, and those who can weld can weld them, but to weld the lines on the cast iron sheets, and they must be exactly the same, which is not something that everyone can do. The reason is very simple, when welding, people's eyes can not see the gaps and lines shrouded in strong light, and the gaps can also be welded well by experience, but the lines cannot be welded by experience, and you must see it with your own eyes!
It's an insurmountable obstacle for the average welder, but it's an easy thing for Xia Lei. His left eye could penetrate the goggles and he could clearly see the lines on the cast iron!
Boom, boom, boom......
The scorching light under the welding tongs, the man in the suit, the sexy girl and Uncle Jiang did not dare to look directly at the bright light, but under the weakening of the eye shield, Xia Lei used his left eye to look directly at the center of the light cluster, and the gaps and lines on the cast iron sheet were clearly presented in front of his eyes. The welding tongs in his hand moved gently, welding the gaps and lines on the cast iron sheets.
"Is he okay?" muttered the sexy girl, "I feel like he's just pretending." ”
"He'd better not fool me, or ......," the man in the suit didn't continue, but his tone was very unkind.
Xia Lei pretended not to hear the words of the two. He was willing to make a move, not to earn the 5,000 yuan, but to try to apply the ability of his left eye to the work field. Besides, he wants to take down this store, and he doesn't want these two to leave here and say that this store is not good.
A few minutes passed, and Xia Lei put the welding tongs down.
The man in the suit and the sexy girl followed and leaned in to see the cast iron on the ground.
The two pieces of cast iron have been welded, there is no spot welding scar on the gap, every line on the cast iron sheet is aligned, and a welding mark is faintly visible between the gaps, but the weld mark is very smooth, not a little more, not a little higher, as if it was glued on!
Without a doubt, it was a perfect weld!
The man in the suit, the sexy girl, and Uncle Jiang were all stunned, and they didn't say anything for a while.
Xia Lei said: "I'm welded, are you still satisfied?"
The man in the suit came back to his senses this time, and a smile appeared on his face, "Hehe, the little master is a good craftman, I am not satisfied with you, I found a welding engineer before coming here, and he was not sure that he would weld well, but he didn't expect to find such a master in such a small shop." Well, you weld this key for me, and I'll give you a thousand wages." ”
Xia Lei smiled, "I'm sorry, I didn't say that I would help you weld the key, I just helped you weld these two pieces of cast iron without charging money." ”
"You-" The man in the suit suddenly showed anger on his face, but in the blink of an eye, he suppressed it again, and he smiled all over his face, "Hehe, little master, why bother, if you don't think you have enough money, we can discuss it again." So be it, you make an offer. ”
Xia Lei said: "You also heard just now, I am not the owner of this shop, I am just here to talk about the store. ”
The sexy girl came up to Xia Lei and said in a sweet voice: "Little Master, you can help, you help my sister with this, my sister will not treat you badly." ”
The bone-soft voice and sexy body are all triggers. Xia Lei's left eye jumped slightly, and the skirt on the sexy girl's body dissipated like a mist in the morning light, and he was also stunned for a moment, sweating slightly. The woman was very open and didn't wear anything inside.
"Okay. The sexy girl's hand rested on Xia Lei's shoulder and shook it slightly.
Xia Lei took a step back, and he said, "It's okay if you want me to do it, but you have to say something humble to Uncle Jiang, what you just said is not good." ”
The corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly, but he then said to Uncle Jiang: "Uncle Jiang, I'm sorry, we were wrong just now, please accept our apologies." ”
"This ...... It's nothing, hehe. Uncle Jiang said with a smile, glancing at Xia Lei gratefully.
"Give it to me. Xia Lei held out his hand.
The sexy girl then handed the cast iron key wrapped in red cloth to Xia Lei, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.
Xia Lei walked to the welding machine again and picked up the welding tongs and goggles, he could weld the two pieces of cast iron just now, and the key could also be welded.
