chapter 12 Perfect welding

The afternoon sun shines on the streets and alleys, making you feel like you are in a steamer wherever you go. Edgar Austin braved the sun and finally found the machining shop on the transfer notice. It is at the entrance of an old alley, facing a main road, and the transportation is convenient. The same transfer notice was posted on the door of the machine shop. The old man who posted the transfer notice on the telephone pole at noon was packing his things in the store. He didn't notice Edgar Austin looking inside at the door. Edgar Austin observed the situation of this store calmly. He found that although the location was a bit out of the way, the traffic flow and the flow of people were very good. There is a Jinji brand CS6140B lathe in the shop, which looks to be 60 to 70% new. He had used this kind of lathe before when working in a processing factory. It was used for small processing parts and had good accuracy and practicality. There is also a 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 stock and makes some preparations, he can open the business. After looking at the equipment and tools in the store, as well as the condition of the store, Edgar Austin had some idea in his mind, and then he walked into the machining shop. Only then did the old man notice Edgar Austin. He looked at Edgar Austin and said tentatively: "Young man, are you here to process things?" "No, I'm here to talk to you."Edgar Austin said, "I saw the transfer notice you posted, and I happen to be a little interested." A smile suddenly appeared on the old man's face, "So you're here for Pandian. Okay, I'll talk to you. Please sit down." "No, just stand and talk."Edgar Austin didn't want the old man to see that he really wanted this store, otherwise he would definitely suffer a loss when negotiating the price. The old man said: "Okay, you can say it standing up. Young man, what is your surname?" "Edgar Austin."Edgar Austin said, "Where are you, uncle?" The old man smiled and said, "Just call me Mr. Troy." "Mr. Troy, why don't you do it?"Edgar Austin asked. "As you can see, I'm getting older, I'll be sixty this year, and I can't do anything anymore. My eyes are also not working well, and I always make mistakes when processing things for people. I have no motivation to continue doing it. I I want to go back to my hometown to have my grandson. Haha, I have been tired for a lifetime, and it’s time to enjoy a few years of happiness."Mr. Troy looked very cheerful. "How is the business of this store?"Edgar Austin asked again. Mr. Troy said: "It's not bad. In addition to rent, water, electricity and other expenses, I can earn 89,100 yuan a month. If it weren't for my eyesight not working well, I would really be reluctant to give it up. Young man, if If your skills are good, I believe business will get better and better." Edgar Austin said with a smile: "If you are good at craftsmanship, your business will certainly not be bad. Uncle, let's not beat around the bush. I want to buy your shop. How much do you want?" Mr. Troy touched his chin and said, "Well, let's do this..." At this moment, a man and a woman suddenly walked in, and Mr. Troy also closed his mouth. Edgar Austin looked at the man and woman. The man wears a neat suit and is about thirty years old. He has a tough build, and his face and eyes look a bit fierce, giving him a very unfriendly feeling. The woman looks in her mid-twenties, mature and sexy. She frowned as soon as she entered the door, as if the environment and people here made her feel uncomfortable. The man in the suit said loudly: "Which one of you is the boss?" Mr. Troy said: "I am, what can I do for you?" The man in the suit said: "I have something that needs welding." After saying that, he gave the sexy girl next to him a wink. The sexy girl then opened a briefcase in her hand and took out a red cloth bag. She opened the red cloth bag and revealed the items wrapped in red cloth. It was a very old cast iron key, about seven inches long, with strange patterns on the surface. The key has been broken into two pieces. The marks are old marks. I don't know when it was broken. "Can you weld?" the sexy girl said, her voice was soft and pleasant. "Let me take a look."Mr. Troy walked up and reached for the cast iron key. The man in the suit suddenly grabbed Mr. Troy's wrist, "This thing is very important. My request is not just to simply weld it and then be done. The pattern on this key cannot be damaged in any way, and it must be welded well, no more. It can't be less, it can't be higher, it can't be lower, do you understand what I mean? If you are sure, you can take this job." Mr. Troy was stunned for a moment and then said: "Sir, your demands 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 asked around, and they say your craftsmanship is the best in this area. If you can help me weld this key as I asked, I will give you five thousand yuan." "Five...five thousand yuan?"Mr. Troy looked surprised. He opened the store for a month and earned 89,100 yuan after working very hard. He could earn 5,000 yuan by welding a key. As far as the reward is concerned, it is indeed exciting. "Are you good?" The man in the suit took out two pieces of cast iron from the woman's briefcase. "If you are good, you can weld this first. If I think it is okay, you can take over the job. " The cast iron piece in the man's hand has similar textures, it is curved and looks very complicated. Mr. Troy took a look, thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, "The reward you gave is very considerable, but your requirements are too high. Even if my eyes are as good as when I was young, I don't dare to accept you." job, let alone now, I am old, I dare not take your job, you can find someone else." "How can you open a store if you don't even dare to try it?" The sexy girl's eyes were full of contempt. This was not pleasant to hear, but Mr. Troy accepted it silently, "I'm sorry, I really can't do it. You can go find someone else." The man in a suit snorted coldly, "It's better to close this store as soon as possible. Why should we open a store?" Mr. Troy had a good temper and accepted these words silently. At this time Edgar Austin Lei said: "Let me take a look." "Who are you?" The man in a suit stared at Edgar Austin with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. Mr. Troy then said: "Actually, I really don't plan to continue opening this store. He came to take stock of my store. If I can't do it, maybe he can. You can show it to him." "Are you good?" The man in the suit didn't really believe in Edgar Austin's skills. In his opinion, Edgar Austin was just a young boy in his early twenties, and his skills wouldn't be much better. Edgar Austin said: "You won't know until you try it whether it works or not. I'll weld these two pieces of cast iron first. You can take a look before talking." The man in the suit and the sexy girl exchanged glances, and the man in the suit handed two pieces of cast iron to Edgar Austin. Edgar Austin took two pieces of cast iron and first observed the lines on them and the thickness of the cast iron pieces. Then he walked to the welding machine, started it, and put a cast iron electrode on the welding tongs. "Are you okay? If not, don't do it." The sexy girl said. She didn't believe in Edgar Austin's skills either. 1 Edgar Austin said nothing, put on his goggles and started welding. Welding cast iron sheets is not difficult. Anyone who knows how to weld can do it. However, it is not possible for everyone to weld the lines on the cast iron sheets accurately. With such difficulty, even those senior welding engineers dare not easily say that they can weld well! The reason is very simple. When welding, human eyes cannot see the gaps and lines under the strong light. The gaps can be welded with experience, but the lines cannot be welded with experience. You must see it with your own eyes! For ordinary welders, this is an insurmountable obstacle, but for Edgar Austin, it is an easy task. His left eye can penetrate the goggles and clearly see the lines on the cast iron sheets! 嗗嗗嗗,嗗嗗嗞...... There was a scorching light under the welding tongs. The man in the suit, the sexy girl and Mr. Troy did not dare to look directly at the bright light. However, under the weakening of the goggles, Edgar Austin used his left eye to look directly at the center of the light group, cast iron. The gaps and lines on the film were clearly presented before his eyes. The welding tongs in his hand moved gently, welding the gaps and lines on the cast iron sheet. "Is he okay?" the sexy girl muttered, "I feel like he's just pretending." "He'd better not fool me, otherwise..." The man in the suit did not continue, but his tone was very unkind. Edgar Austin pretended not to hear what the two said. He was willing to take action not because he wanted to earn the five thousand yuan, but because he wanted to try out the effect of applying the left eye's ability to the work field. Moreover, he wanted to buy this store, and he didn't want these two people to say that this store was not good after they left here. A few minutes passed before Edgar Austin put down the welding tongs. The man in the suit and the sexy girl then moved forward and looked at the cast iron pieces on the ground. The two pieces of cast iron have been welded together. There is no weld mark on the gap. Every line on the cast iron sheet is aligned. There is a faint weld mark between the gaps, but the weld mark is very smooth, not too much and not too high. A little bit, as if it was glued on! 3 There is no doubt that this is a perfect welding! The man in the suit, the sexy girl and Mr. Troy were all stunned and didn't say anything for a while. Edgar Austin said: "I've welded it, are you satisfied?" The man in the suit came back to his senses this time, and a smile appeared on his face, "Haha, the young master is good at his craftsmanship. I am dissatisfied with you. I found a welding engineer before coming here, and he was not sure that he could weld well, but I didn't expect that he would be able to weld well." A master like this is found in a small shop like this. Let's do this, you help me weld this key, and I'll give you a thousand extra wages." Edgar Austin smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't say I would help you weld the key. I just helped you weld the two pieces of cast iron for free." "You -" The man in the suit suddenly showed anger on his face, but he suppressed it in an instant, with a smile on his face, "Haha, little master, why bother? If you think the money is too little, we can discuss it again. Let’s do this, you make a price.” Edgar Austin said: "You heard it just now. I am not the owner of this store. I am just here to talk about the store." The sexy girl came close to Edgar Austin and said in a sweet voice: "Little master, please help me. If you do this favor for my sister, I will not treat you badly." A voice that makes people go soft and a sexy body, these are all triggers. Edgar Austin's left eye twitched slightly. The sexy girl's dress dissipated like mist in the morning light. He was stunned for a moment, sweating a little. This woman is very open and has a killer figure. "Okay." The sexy girl put her hand on Edgar Austin's shoulder and shook it gently. Edgar Austin took a step back and said, "I can do it, but you have to be humble to Mr. Troy. What you just said is not nice." The corner of the man in the suit's mouth twitched slightly, but he then said to Mr. Troy: "Mr. Troy, right? I'm sorry. It was our fault just now. Please accept our apology." "This...this is nothing, haha."Mr. Troy said with a smile, while looking at Edgar Austin gratefully. "Give it to me."Edgar Austin stretched out his hand. The sexy girl then handed the cast-iron key wrapped in red cloth to Edgar Austin with an expectant look in her eyes. Edgar Austin 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 he could weld this key as well.
