NO.13 The Value of a Signature (II)
When the steamed bun was presented, my mind moved, and the tears had already gone thousands of lines.
A luxurious wooden chair with ancient charm stands quietly in the middle of the attic, and the slanted sunlight of the spring afternoon shines in from the small window, impartially hitting the hazy and dusky light and shadow on the chair, making it look full of a solid and heavy touch.
In Wang Jian's words, this feeling is a kind of "precipitation of love frozen by time", although this statement is too literary, but in fact, there is no description that can be closer to the truth than Wang Jian's simple sentence.
Two people who are more than 100 years old, standing at the door of the attic, quietly looking at this old armchair bathed in orange sunlight, the picture is full of the serenity and serenity of silent films in the thirties.
No.13 The original mutilated leg of a signature value (below) chair is now firmly attached to the long-separated torso, and a vague shadow similar to the hugging of the two can be seen in a trance.
"This steamed bun is good." Wang Jian ate a big steamed bun in three bites: "There is also a milky fragrance." ”
Wang Jian's inappropriate words suddenly woke up the two brothers who were immersed in thoughts, and they invariably wiped the dried tears on their faces with their hands, and vigorously twitched their noses that were clogged by the sudden tears. Like many, many years ago, when the elder brother took the younger brother to the old street to watch the shadow puppet show, he walked hand in hand to this chair that carried many, many feelings that Wang Jian did not understand, and rubbed it carefully.
"You can't move it now, you have to wait at least three days, and when it's completely solidified, as long as you don't hit it with a hammer, it's basically fine."
The eyes behind the old man's glasses were red, and he looked back at Wang Jian, who was gobbling up a plate of white steamed buns, and asked in a rustling voice, "How did you do it?" ”
Wang Jian swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth in two bites, choked his eyes because he was in a hurry to speak, and said after a long time: "That's how my dad taught, how do I know how I did it?" This thing is estimated to have been lost a long time ago, No.13 The value of a signature (below) It turns out that in addition to this, there are four kinds of porcelain, silk, monument, and teeth, all of which are small crafts that can't be put on the table. ”
"Little Crafts ......" The old man who felt nostalgic for the past was amused by Wang Jian: "Your little craft has cheated me for at least 20 years, can the kid make a price?" ”
As soon as Wang Jian heard the salary, he immediately came to his senses, took out the broken mobile phone from his pocket, and began to calculate it with a calculator, chattering while calculating:
"I told you a 20% discount, I'll do the math. The labor cost, material cost, and craftsmanship cost add up to 1,000, and the 20% expedited fee is 1,002. One thousand two will give you a twenty percent discount, and you will be counted as nine hundred and six. After eating your five steamed buns, this steamed bun is big, one steamed bun counts as five cents, it is two yuan five, and a cup of milk counts as one piece of five, a total of four yuan. Nine hundred and six minus four pieces, it is nine hundred and fifty-six, and I will round it up for you, and count it as nine hundred and five. ”
The old man and his brother were stupid at that time, and instinctively felt that their ears had heard wrong, nine hundred and fifty yuan...... What is this concept? At the beginning, I found a carpenter who is said to be the most authoritative in China to repair the stool here, and the appearance fee alone cost 100,000 yuan, which was not repaired in the end. Otherwise, the old man would not have been in such a hurry to go to the doctor, but it can be regarded as his luck, the blind cat met the dead mouse, and accidentally ran into Wang Jian, if Wang Jian came a day earlier or a day later, I am afraid that this chair will become the main reason why he will not be blind.
"Only nine hundred and five?" Even the old man and his brother couldn't believe it: "You didn't ...... Did you make a mistake? ”
"I'll do the math again." Wang Jian counted it again very sincerely, and then nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's nine hundred and five, I didn't count it for you, Tong Su is not bullied." ”
After speaking, Wang Jian also took out his self-made handwritten carpentry maintenance price list from his pocket, what repair wire bed is one hundred and five, repair furniture according to the material negotiable, make a whole set of furniture according to the difficulty and material negotiable, etc., the operating cost of various things is clear at a glance.
The old man pushed away Wang Jian's broken paper, looked at him with a frown, and wanted to say something but didn't say it for a long time.
"It's too expensive......" Wang Jian was a little unhappy: "I'll give you a 20% discount, and the material of your chair is too precious, my liver trembles when I make it, for fear that it will be broken a little." ”
The old man was made to laugh by Wang Jian, and patted Wang Jian on the shoulder: "Come down with me and settle the bill for you." ”
"Good Ratcha." Wang Jianle ran down with him, and said to the old man in a consultative tone as he walked: "I still have to owe you the rent, I have to buy something, otherwise it is not a matter to eat steamed buns all the time." I'll wait until I find a job before we give it to you. ”
"Do you know the value of that chair?"
"You told me, 200 million, I calculated, a pound of banknotes worth 100 is about 50,000 yuan, 100 million is 2,000 catties, 200 million is 4,000 catties, two tons...... I can eat rice for a year. ”
When the old man heard Wang Jian calculate so carefully, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise: "Then ...... you?"
"You're saying I'm charging less?" Wang Jian was happy: "In any line of work, you have to have principles, right?" No matter how expensive the thing is, it's yours, what I did by myself is worth what price, I know it in my heart, this price is set by me, but it's not your turn to set, I'm in a hurry I'll give you back the job now, and I'll let it continue to be lame when it's lame. ”
"Don't toss my old bones, I'll listen to you. Just nine hundred and five! ”
The old man groaned and said forgiveness. He knows that Wang Jian is an out-and-out man, and he is stupid, he is as smart as a monkey, but he is smart...... His values are too different from the current society, so it is safer to deal with this guy.
Downstairs, Wang Jian sat on a rattan chair, took out his own cigarette, lit one, and suddenly rushed into an inexplicable inferior tobacco smell in the high-end smoke smell in the room. The group of high-end people sitting on the sofa still looked at Wang Jian so badly, and Wang Jian also looked at them with steamed buns on his lips, and both sides were silent.
After a while, the old man walked out of the inner room, holding a tight red envelope in his hand, and happily handed it to Wang Jian: "It's vulgar to say thank you." ”
"How can I buy and sell. The chair couldn't be moved for three days, and it was easy to crook when it moved. ”
After speaking, Wang Jian stood up and was about to leave, but he didn't take two steps before he was dragged by the old man. The old man bypassed the big family, dragged Wang Jian to the balcony, and secretly stuffed a piece of paper to Wang Jian: "Take a look." ”
Wang Jian sighed, opened the paper slowly, and found that there were three big characters "Letter of Recommendation" written on it in the font of Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dance, and then a bunch of compliments were written at the end and Wang Jian's name was added at the end.
And the payment is Sun Zhaoguo and Sun Zhaozu.
"This? Recommend me to become a teacher? ”
"Just take this and go, it's not a good school, it's a bunch of gentlemen, but the environment is one of the best in the country."
Wang Jian took a closer look, and found that what these two old guys recommended him to go to was actually the most gorgeous public-private joint venture school in China with a great reputation and declared that he did not want a graduate degree or above. In fact, the essence is that an overseas education group has acquired a suburban school that has been unable to recruit students but covers an extremely large area, and it is also facing closure in the early years, but in the end, it caught up with the good policy, the rapid expansion of the city, and in just a few years, the former pheasant school has become the top school in the country.
As the old man said, the reason why this school has become a famous school is not because of how many champions it can produce or how many academic awards it can get every year, but purely because it has strong financial support, and has successfully launched the signboard of the so-called "aristocratic school", so that the rich people who "only choose the expensive ones and do not choose the right ones" are flocking to it, and they feel that if they don't throw their children into it, they will be sorry for the pocket of steel hammers in their pockets.
Wang Jian has cared about this perverted school with a tuition fee of up to 300,000 yuan per semester, not to mention anything else, but the teacher's salary is Wang Jian's dream. In a month, ordinary classroom teachers can have more than 20,000 yuan, and class teachers can be as high as about 30,000 yuan, not including year-end bonuses and various bonuses.
However, Wang Jian, a straw dog who didn't even get a graduation certificate, could be selected by this kind of school, so he didn't even bother to go to the interview, after all, no matter how thick-skinned a person is, after being ruthlessly rejected, his heart will be affected a lot.
"That's it?"
Wang Jian raised the letter of introduction in his hand suspiciously, and his expression was very strange.
"You'll know when you go, anyway, I promised to introduce you to work. That's all I can do, and they can still give our two brothers a little face. ”
Wang Jian sighed: "Then I thank you for helping me open the back door." ”
"It's vulgar to say thank you." The old man sighed: "I did this once in my life, and I really made an exception for you." ”
"And when am I going?"
"Early tomorrow morning! I don't need to talk about the place, right? ”
"You know it with your eyes closed."
