C12 Perfect welding

The afternoon sun shone down on the streets and alleys, and wherever he went, it felt like he was in a steamer. Under the sunlight, Xia Lei finally found the mechanical processing shop on the transfer notice. It was at the mouth of an old alleyway, and across from it was a large road. It was convenient for traffic.

The same transfer notice was posted on the door of the machine shop. The old man who had posted the transfer notice on the telephone pole in the afternoon was packing up his things, he did not notice Xia Lei, who was peeking inside.

Xia Lei calmly observed the situation of the shop. He found that although the location was a little off, the traffic and the human traffic were very good. There was a Golden Chicken CS6140B lathe in the shop, and it looked about sixty or seventy percent new. He had used this type of lathe before when he was working in the processing plant. There was also an electric welding machine and a gas bottle cutting knife. The tools were quite comprehensive. As for the situation in the shop, as long as he put down his plate and prepared a little, he would be able to start a business.

Looking at the equipment and tools in the shop, as well as the situation of the shop, Xia Lei's heart started to feel better. After that, he walked into the machinery shop.

It was only then that the old man noticed Xia Lei. He looked at Xia Lei and probed: "Lad, are you here to process things?"

"No, I came to talk to you." Xia Lei said: "I saw the transfer notice you posted, and it just so happens that I am a little interested."

A smile instantly appeared on the old man's face. "So you're here for the store. Alright, I'll have a chat with you. Please take a seat."

"No, just stand and talk." Xia Lei didn't want the old man to know that he really wanted this shop. That way, he would definitely suffer a loss when negotiating the price.

The old man said, "Alright, it's fine to stand. "Young man, what's your name?"

"Xia Lei." Xia Lei replied: "What about you, sir?"

The old man smiled. "My surname is Jiang. You can just call me Grandpa Jiang."

"Uncle Jiang, why aren't you doing it anymore?" Xia Lei asked.

"As you can see, I'm an old man, and I'm only sixty this year. I can't do it anymore. My eyes are not working well either. I always make mistakes when I work for people, so there's no point in continuing to work hard. "I want to go back home and hug my grandson. Hur Hur, I've been tired all my life. It's time to enjoy a few years of blessings." Uncle Jiang looked quite cheerful.

"How's the business of this store?" Xia Lei asked again.

"Not bad," replied Grandpa Jiang. "Aside from renting, water, electricity and other expenses, we can also earn eighty percent a month." Ninety thousand dollars. If it wasn't for my eyes being useless, I would really be reluctant to part with them. "Young man, if you're good at your trade, I'm sure the business will get better and better."

Xia Lei laughed and said: "A craftsman's skills are good, of course his business is not bad. "Great sir, let's not beat around the bush. I want to buy your store. How much do you want?"

Master Jiang stroked his chin. "Mm, how about this …"

At this moment, a man and a woman walked in. Master Jiang also shut his mouth.

Xia Lei sized up the couple. The man was well-dressed and around thirty years old. He had a robust build and a fierce look on his face. He gave off an unfriendly feeling. The woman was about 25 or 26 years old, mature and sexy. She frowned as soon as she entered the room, as if the environment and people were making her uncomfortable.

The suited man asked, "Which one of you is the boss?"

Grandpa Jiang said, "Yes, may I ask what you need?"

The man in the suit said, "I have something that needs welding." With that, he gave a look to the sexy lady beside him.

The sexy lady then opened a briefcase and took out a red one. She opened the red cloth bag, revealing the object wrapped in the red cloth. It was a very old cast-iron key, about seven inches long, with a strange pattern on the surface. The key had already been broken into two pieces. From the looks of it, these marks were old marks, and it was unknown when they were broken.

"Can it be welded?" Her voice was soft and very pleasant.

"Let me see." Grandpa Jiang walked up to him and reached for the cast iron key.

The man in the suit suddenly grabbed Master Jiang's wrist. "This thing is very important. My request is not just about welding. The patterns on this key should be welded as well as damaged. There can't be too many, too many, too few, too high, and too low. Do you understand what I'm saying?" If you're confident, you can take the job. "

After a momentary pause, Master Jiang said, "Sir, your demands are too high. I'm afraid I can't do it, so find someone else to do it for me."

The suited man said, "I've asked around. I've heard that you have the best craftsmanship in this area. If you can help me weld this key according to my request, I'll give you 5,000 yuan."

"Five …" Five thousand? " Grandpa Jiang looked surprised.

He had opened a shop for a month and worked himself to the bone to make eighty-five percent of the profit. For ninety-one million dollars, he could earn five thousand for welding a key. In terms of remuneration, this was truly moving.

"Can you do it?" The man in the suit took out two more pieces of cast iron from the briefcase. "If you can, you can solder this first. If I feel that you can, you can take on this job."

The iron piece in the man's hand had similar patterns. It was crooked and looked very complicated.

"Your reward is quite considerable, but your requirements are too high. Even if my eyes are as good as when I was young, I still wouldn't dare take your job, not to mention now that I'm old, I don't dare take your job. Go find someone else."

"You don't even dare to try, what kind of shop are you opening?" The sexy lady's eyes were filled with contempt.

These words didn't ring a bell, but Grandpa Jiang silently accepted them. "My apologies, but I really can't do it. You guys can go find someone else."

The suited man harrumphed, "It's better to close this shop as soon as possible. What kind of shop are you opening?"

Master Jiang was a good-natured man, so he silently accepted these words.

At this time, Xia Lei spoke out, "Let me take a look."

"Who are you?" The man in the suit stared at Xia Lei, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Grandpa Jiang added, "Actually, I don't intend to continue opening this shop. He's here to buy my shop. "I can't, maybe he can. You can show it to him."

"Can you do it?" The suited man did not really believe in Xia Lei's culinary skills. In his opinion, Xia Lei was just a little kid in his early twenties.

Xia Lei said: "Whether or not I want to try it will be known. I will first weld these two pieces of cast iron properly, you can take a look first."

The man in the suit and the sexy girl looked at each other, then handed two pieces of iron over to Xia Lei.

Xia Lei took the two pieces of iron and inspected the patterns on it as well as the thickness of the metal. After that, he walked to the welding machine and started up the welding machine.

"Can you do it?" If that's not possible, then don't make a move. " She also did not believe in Xia Lei's skills.

Xia Lei did not make a sound, holding onto his eye protection, he started to do the welding.

Welding a cast iron sheet was not difficult. Anyone who knew how to heat and weld could do so, but to weld the stripes on the cast iron sheet without making a single mistake was not something anyone could do. With such difficulty, even the senior welding engineers would not dare to say that they could easily do it! The reason was simple. When welding, people's eyes could not see the gaps and lines under the strong light. The cracks could also be welded by experience, but the lines could not be welded by experience. They had to see it with their own eyes!

To ordinary welders, this was an insurmountable obstacle, but to Xia Lei, it was a piece of cake. His left eye could pierce through the goggles and clearly see the lines on the cast iron sheets!

Sizzle, sizzle...

The suited man, the sexy girl, and Master Jiang did not dare to look directly at the ball of light. However, under the weakening of the eye protection, Xia Lei used his left eye to look directly at the center of the ball of light. The tweezers in his hands moved gently, soldering the cracks and stripes in the cast iron.

"Can he do it?" The sexy lady mumbled, "I feel like he's just putting on an act."

"He better not fool me, or else …" The suited man did not finish his sentence, but his tone was very unfriendly.

Xia Lei pretended not to hear the conversation between the two. He didn't want to earn the five thousand dollars, but wanted to test the effect of using the abilities of his left eye in the work area. Plus, he wanted to buy this store, he didn't want the two of them to leave and say that it wasn't working.

A few minutes later, Xia Lei put down the welding pliers.

The man in the suit and the girl with the sex appeal then moved closer to him to look at the cast iron sheets on the ground.

The two pieces of cast iron had been welded together. There was not the slightest scar on the crack, and every line on the piece of cast iron was aligned, a faint mark of welding could be seen between the cracks, but the mark of welding was very smooth, not too many, and not too high. It was as if it was glued together with glue!

Without a doubt, this was the perfect welding!

The suited man, the sexy lady, and Grandpa Jiang were all stunned into silence.

Xia Lei said: "I'm done welding, are you all satisfied?"

The man in the suit recovered his wits this time, and a smile appeared on his face, "Hehe, my master is good at cooking, I'm not satisfied with you saying that before I came here I found a welding engineer, he wasn't sure about welding well, but I didn't expect to find such an expert in such a small shop. "How about this, you help me solder this key, and I'll give you a thousand more."

Xia Lei laughed, "Apologies, I didn't say that I would help you weld the keys, I only said that I would help you weld the two pieces of cast iron well, not charge money."

"You-" The man in the suit suddenly became angry, but he suppressed it in the blink of an eye. He was full of smiles. "Hehe, little master, why would you want to talk about this? If you think there's not enough money, then we can talk about it. How about this, you name a price. "

Xia Lei said: "You guys heard it too, I'm not the owner of this shop, I'm just here to discuss business with the shop."

The sexy girl walked in front of Xia Lei, and said with a sweet voice: "Little master, just help me out. Since you helped this big sister, big sister will not treat you unfairly."

The bone-chilling voice, the sexy figure, these were all factors. Xia Lei's left eye slightly twitched, and the dress the sexy girl was wearing disappeared like mist in the morning sun. He was also stunned for a moment, and started to sweat profusely. This woman was very open-minded and wore nothing inside.

"Sure." The sexy girl placed her hand on Xia Lei's shoulder and shook him a little.

Xia Lei took a step back and said, "If you want me to do it, that's fine, but you guys have to be modest with Elder Jiang. What you guys said just now was unpleasant to hear."

The man in the suit's mouth twitched, but he quickly turned to Lord Jiang and said, "Grandpa Jiang, is it? I'm sorry, but we were in the wrong. Please accept our apology."

"This... "That's nothing, hur hur." Master Jiang said while smiling, and looked at Xia Lei gratefully.

"Give it to me." Xia Lei extended his hand.

The sexy girl then handed the iron key wrapped in a red cloth to Xia Lei, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Xia Lei once again walked to the welding machine and picked up the welding pliers and the eye protector. He could welding the two pieces of iron just now, but he could also welding the key.
