Chapter 669 Goodbye Wu Laogou (Part 1)
Li Le's foot injury had not healed yet, and Chengzi was worried about studying his treasure, so the responsibility of driving naturally fell on Han Xu's head.
But it was okay, driving distracted a lot of attention.
Along the way, Han Xu did not sort out the case again, but focused on the road conditions ahead.
Of course, Li Le, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned on the navigation in time, otherwise Han Xu, who was a road idiot, would not know where he would drive to!
And Chengzi was rich now, with a treasure in each hand, and his face was full of satisfaction throughout the whole process.
A nine-child mandarin duck interlocking core and a Datong lock, wow, the top stuff in the locksmith business was in his arms, and he almost fainted with happiness.
But Chengzi did not waste time, but carefully studied the structure of the Datong lock.
He stayed in the back seat without saying a word, and his concentration reached a rather scary level.
Li Le is the kind of person who can't sit still, just like a monkey jumping up and down. What he envies most is Orange's amazing concentration.
Good guy, once he starts to fiddle with the two things in his hands, he directly enters a state of selflessness.
Let alone waking him up, it is estimated that Orange will not divert his attention even if a detonator is lit next to him.
In fact, Han Xu also has this kind of strong concentration, but unlike Orange, he is not completely immersed in another world, but has some reservations, just in case something happens.
Orange's extraordinary concentration is good, but it is inevitable that there are some risks.
But it must be admitted that Orange's single-minded personality is particularly suitable for immersive industries such as technology.
It's just that due to his talent, he has not achieved too much in the locksmith industry.
Einstein said in "On Education" that success comes from 99% of hard work and 1% of talent.
However, what many people don't know is that there is actually another sentence behind it, but the reason why 99% of people succeed is because of that 1% of talent.
The meaning of this sentence is very clear. Although hard work is important, talent is also very important. Sometimes that one point of talent will determine whether a person is successful or not.
So while working hard, you must also pay attention to your talent in which field, discover and make full use of your advantages, so that you can better achieve success.
Like Orange, even though his family can be said to be a family of locksmiths, because of his lack of talent, he knew that he would not have too high achievements in that industry, so he chose to join the army!
Of course, it was also related to the family environment at that time. After all, there was a period of time when it was too poor.
It has to be said that the locksmith industry has long been lonely.
With the gradual occupation of the market by various types of smart locks, the ordinary mechanical locks in the past have long been forced into corners.
Not only is the locksmith industry bound to go downhill, but even the craftsmanship of the generation of thieves Wu Laogou has gradually become unfamiliar.
Electronic payment has long squeezed out the space for thieves and pickpockets to survive.
Even the wallet is almost extinct, so where are the pickpockets!
It has to be said that the time period for Wu Laogou to retire was just right. Otherwise, if it was delayed for another year or two, he would have lost his job!
Back to the point, Han Xu and his friends drove all the way and arrived at the eastern suburbs of the city in a short time. Following the navigation, Xingzhong New Village was already within reach.
At this time, Li Le saw Chengzi tinkering in the back seat for most of the day. He was embarrassed to disturb him before, but when he saw that the destination was almost reached, he couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Chengzi, have you researched anything?"
Chengzi turned a deaf ear to him and still focused all his attention on the Datong lock. His concentration reached a rather scary level.
Li Le had to raise his voice and repeat the question.
Chengzi just woke up from a dream and got out of a different dimension. "What? What did you just say?"
Li Le was almost speechless. It turned out that he had just come back to life!
"I mean, have you figured out anything? Can you open it?!"
Orange smiled awkwardly, "Let alone opening it, I don't even know the general structure inside! This Datong lock can be said to be the culmination of all foreign and domestic locks, it is truly a priceless treasure."
"What the hell, how can it be the culmination of all foreign and domestic locks? Isn't this something left by our ancestors? How did it get mixed up with foreigners?" Li Le asked in confusion.
"In fact, this Datong lock is almost a product of the Ming and Qing dynasties, when some Western technologies had been introduced. So this lock is the culmination of all foreign and domestic locks!"
Orange explained casually, without saying much.
No matter how much you say, meeting someone like Li Le is no different from a scholar meeting a soldier, so it's better to say three points.
Li Le didn't hear it, but Han Xu, who was driving, heard it.
I can't help but sigh that Orange is a guy who hides his true talents, at least he is a foolish man with great wisdom.
But Li Le didn't dwell on it, just teasing, "I think you've run into a tough guy, these two locks are enough to make you drink a lot of pots."
Chengzi didn't even raise his head, as if he had entered his own world again.
Han Xu glanced at the rearview mirror, smiled and shook his head, and said to Li Le, "Li Le, don't bother Chengzi, what if this guy gives us a surprise?"
Li Le pouted, "Surprise?! I think it's a shock? Oh, by the way, Han Xu, do you think that old dog Wu can open these two locks?"
Han Xu stared at the road and replied, "It's hard to say. Chengzi said before, North Cheng and South Wu. If Wu Laogou is a member of the Wu family, he might be able to open this Nine Sons Mandarin Duck Link Core."
Li Le looked back at Chengzi again and nodded slightly, "There are always people who are better than you. What's more, Wu Laogou has a good reputation. I think he is more reliable than Chengzi, right?"
Han Xu didn't respond because the destination had already been reached.
The archway with the four characters "Xingzhong New Village" was right in front of him!
I just don't know if Wu Laogou, the king of thieves in Yancheng, is at home now?
Maybe he went to the widow's house at the west end of the village again?
That old guy, he's almost sixty years old, and he doesn't know how to be quiet for a while.
"Xingzhong New Village?" Li Le was in this place for the first time, and he was a little curious. "Is this the famous den of thieves in Yancheng?"
"It's more than just the famous den of thieves in Yancheng. Because of Wu Laogou, I heard Captain Xiong of the East City Police Station say that Xingzhong New Village is well-known in the entire Jiangnan Road." Han Xu drove past the archway at the entrance of the village and couldn't help but reply.
"Fuck, so amazing? The entire Jiangnan Road! Tsk tsk, Wu Laogou really has some skills!"
