The winter rain that lasted for several days finally stopped and the sky gradually cleared up.
In the backyard of "Taichang" Trading Company, 30-year-old truck driver He Shuisheng was sweating profusely. The Chevrolet pickup truck imported from the United States, which he had driven for half a year, suddenly stopped moving. It was driving well in the city just now, but now it suddenly stopped moving.
No matter how I ignite it, it won't start. Even if I go to the front of the car and use the crank to start it manually, the engine always gasps for breath and then doesn't respond again.
He Shuisheng, who was at a loss what to do, suddenly remembered that when he was chatting with a handsome boy not long ago, he heard him say that his car was heavy and backward, and he had a few words with him. It seemed that this handsome boy with superb mechanical repair skills knew a little about repairing cars, so He Shuisheng, in a hurry,
He strode into Warehouse No. 4 with the mentality of trying his luck. Regardless of An Yi instructing two apprentices to disassemble the sewing machine, he pulled An Yi over and said loudly: "Pretty boy, come out with me."
"What's the matter?"
An Yi, who is called handsome by everyone in the business, has improved his Cantonese conversational skills very quickly after hard training. Especially after shopkeeper Chen recruited two local apprentices for him a month ago, An Yi learned from the two apprentices who could not speak Mandarin.
Benefited a lot.
Maybe because his car was broken and he was too embarrassed to announce it, He Shuisheng pulled An Yi to the car in front of the No. 2 warehouse and whispered: "Pretty boy, didn't I hear you talk about repairing the car last time? Help me look at it.
What do you think? You can repair so many complicated imported machines, so you probably have some skills with cars, too?"
An Yi looked at Shuisheng and then at the car, knowing that the arrogant He Shuisheng would never ask him for help until he was at the end of his rope. Although this was just an old-fashioned Chevrolet truck with a capacity of 1.5 tons, it could be used in the entire city of Guangzhou.
There will be no more than fifty. It is a matter of great pride to be able to drive such a car that everyone envies on the road. The pride and sense of superiority are unparalleled. It is probably better than driving a Mercedes-Benz 600 in later generations.
Nothing worse than that.
An Yi thought for a while and finally decided to help. Although He Shuisheng was usually so arrogant that he wouldn't even let him in the front of the car, but now he saw the sweaty Shuisheng with a pleading face and a car full of cars.
An Yi gave up the mentality of watching the excitement and said he would give it a try. After asking Shuisheng about the fault, he stepped forward to open the heavy hood and told Shuisheng to enter the cab and start it a few times. Shuisheng also changed his usual arrogance and obeyed.
.
"Puch-"
The water tank was overheated and the pressure suddenly increased. A cloud of water mist emerged from the melted water tank cover sealing ring, which attracted the screams of seven or eight workers including Supervisor Ou. Shuisheng, who had become a monk on the way and had only five months of driving experience, turned pale with fright. An Yi
But there was no sign of panic. Instead, he covered the water tank with a soft cloth used to clean the car. He walked to the corner of the wall and moved a pile of green bricks and stuffed them under the wheels. Then he took the tools and climbed up to the front of the car against the water mist to poke at them one by one.
Check the spark plugs and ignition wires and reinstall them as they are. Then check the air motor and cooling water circulation system. They find that there are no problems. I feel puzzled. I jump out of the car and squat in front of the water tank to think for a while. Suddenly I find an oil stain on the ground in the middle of the bottom of the car.
, the turbid engine oil is still hitting the ground drop by drop.
An Yi lay on his back on the ground and got under the car in front of everyone. He immediately saw that the damaged transmission gear box oil pan had cracked a hole more than two inches long, and the remaining engine oil was falling drop by drop, so he
Determined the reason why the machine's hot water tank could not be started. The cautious An Yi climbed out and explained the fault situation to the anxious Shui Sheng. Shui Sheng suddenly understood and immediately told An Yi that due to the rainy days and the sunken road, he must go to the eastern suburbs after being fully loaded.
The old road was hit by raised rocks on the rough road.
An Yi nodded and asked: "The seam in the oil pan is not small and needs to be repaired by welding. Is there a car repair shop in Guangzhou?"
"Where is there? Who has the ability to open a car repair shop? If a car breaks down, it will be driven to the Shaji repair shop run by foreigners, but those foreigners are very arrogant. If our car is sent in, I am afraid that every month
Don't even think about repairing it, ugh! It's all my fault. If I had better road selection skills, I wouldn't have hit the oil pan. This is a new car that was just bought half a year ago. What if the owner finds out..." Shui Sheng was extremely anxious.
"Do you know anyone at the shipyard on the south bank of Baietan?" An Yi asked after thinking about it.
Shuisheng jumped up happily: "I know you, my fourth uncle is working as a plumber, now it's better!"
An Yi smiled: "That's good. I'll remove the oil pan later, and you can take it to find someone for help. I'll stay and help you check other components and lines. If everything goes well, you can go there in the afternoon.
Drive away."
"Okay! Pretty boy, once it's fixed, I'll even invite you to the Yuexiang Pavilion for three days of morning tea."
An Yi didn't say anything and got under the car again. He took the tools handed over by Shui Sheng and quickly removed the damaged oil pan. Shui Sheng took the damaged parts and rushed to the shipyard quickly. An Yi wiped his hands and returned to the No. 4 warehouse.
, carefully instructing the two diligent apprentices on the layout work, and then returned to the car and climbed onto the front of the car. Only then did the workers who were watching the excitement realized that An Yi had great skills in repairing cars, and looked at An Yi with admiration in their eyes.
Even Uncle Jiu, who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, came and nodded in admiration for An Yi. You must know that in Guangzhou nowadays, it is a great thing to be able to repair imported machinery. These skills that only foreign technicians can have are not available at all.
How many Chinese people can step aside, let alone repair expensive cars.
Manager Ou dispersed the workers who were watching, and he and Uncle Jiu stood under the shade of a tree, watching the busy An Yi and talking in low voices. They all thought that their firm was so lucky to recruit such a treasure. After a while, a black American car appeared.
Slowly driving into the yard from the side door of the backyard, Manager Ou and Uncle Jiu rushed up to greet them as soon as they saw it, and said hello to the boss Ou Yaoting and others who got off the car.
A long-haired girl who was about seventeen or eighteen years old and wearing a lavender floral coat saw Uncle Jiu and hurriedly came up and took Uncle Jiu's arm to ask about the cold and warmth. He saw that her complexion was as beautiful as snow, her face was as beautiful as snow, her figure was graceful and dignified, and her eyes were watery.
Ling's big eyes were shining with hope, which made Uncle Jiu narrow his eyes.
Ou Yaoting, who was wearing a black imported camel hair coat, held up his gold-rimmed glasses, pointed at the two legs exposed under the truck and asked displeasedly: "Manager Ou, what's going on with Shuisheng? Why did the car break down after just a few months of driving?"
"
"It broke down suddenly, but the person under the car was not Shuisheng, but An Yi, the great master in our industry. Boss, this guy is awesome! The car couldn't move. Shuisheng was so anxious that he couldn't help but jump up and down, so he called this guy.
After arriving, we quickly found the damaged areas. We have been watching here. This guy seems to be able to repair cars. He is very skilled in repairing cars. After opening the front of the car, he can name every part of those complicated machines and use many words.
We all don’t understand. No, Shuisheng took the damaged parts he removed to the shipyard and repaired them. This guy filled up the water tank and checked the front of the car again and again, and finally got under the car and did it until now. We don’t know he is there.
What are you doing?" It was rare for Mr. Ou to talk so much. Ou Yaoting was also quite surprised when he said such a long list. It was obvious that An Yi's ability had shocked everyone, otherwise the calm Mr. Ou would not be so excited.
Ou Yaoting nodded, but his affection for An Yi grew in his heart. From the first time he watched An Yi deal with troubles from a distance at the entrance of the trading company, Ou Yaoting felt vaguely that this was a talent. As time went by, An Yi brought him
There are more and more surprises. Repairing various damaged machines in batches has saved Ou Yaoting tens of thousands of losses. What's even more rare is that this young, tall guy never takes credit, is arrogant, never bargains, is down-to-earth, and works hard without complaint. Ou Yaoting
As an exception, he was given a monthly salary of thirty-eight yuan per month as a master chef from the second month. This guy didn't seem to be excited at all. He took everything calmly, as if he didn't care about his own interests at all. This made Ou Yaoting temporarily confused.
No. Therefore, taking the opportunity to pick up his precious daughter home today, Ou Yaoting came here to take a look without saying hello. Unexpectedly, he was surprised again.
"Mr. Ou, stay here. Don't call him. Take me to the place where the machine is being repaired." Ou Yaoting was more thoughtful. Her baby daughter meekly supported Uncle Jiu and followed behind. As she walked, she asked An Yi in a low voice.
, looking very curious, Uncle Jiu also answered in a low voice with a loving smile.
When the two apprentices saw Manager Ou bringing the big boss in, they quickly stood up and bowed, looking very nervous as they stood there.
Ou Yaoting glanced at the orderly space, nodded and turned to the apprentice, asked their names in a friendly manner, and asked the smart young man named A Hua: "I heard from Manager Ou that you have been here as apprentices for almost a month. Why?"
Like? What did you learn?”
Ahua nervously replied: "Okay...it can be disassembled and assembled."
"Oh? Not bad!" Ou Yaoting smiled slightly: "How does your little master usually treat you? Is there something he doesn't want to teach you?"
Ah Hua shook his head: "Master An was very good to us. He showed us more than thirty drawings he drew when he arrived. After three days, when we all understood it, he taught us how to dismantle the machine. When we met someone who didn't understand, he taught us how to dismantle the machine.
As long as we asked, he would teach us in detail, and sometimes he wouldn't be angry even if he told us several times, but... it was just that after he knew that we were older than him, he wouldn't let us call him master, and would call us brothers.
Very unaccustomed."
Ou Yaoting nodded with satisfaction: "Can you show me the drawings drawn by your master?"
Another apprentice named A Zhi was very clever. He quickly brought a roll of yellow kraft paper and opened it on the table in front of Ou Yaoting. Ou Yaoting was shocked after looking at the first piece. This was the first time he saw such exquisite and standard hand-made drawings.
In particular, he was surprised by the many symbols and signs on it, such as "¤", "mm", contour lines, error degrees and other measurement signs, which shocked the big boss who had returned from studying in France. He knew that if he hadn't accepted
People who have received Western-style professional education and have not learned trigonometric functions and solid geometry will never have this level of knowledge.
As the exquisite drawings unfolded one by one, Ou Yaoting's brows furrowed more and more. The drawings were as neat as printed fonts and beautiful Arabic numerals. Each measurement symbol was replaced by letters, which made him have a deep understanding of the bottom level of his company.
This young man of unknown origin raised many questions.
"Dad, this is incredible! These drawings are better than those drawn by our college teacher. A wandering beggar with no education... How is this possible? Could it be that the guy named An got it from somewhere else?" Beautiful
Miss Ou's eyes were full of suspicion.
"Miss, you can't accuse my master wrongly. These were all painted by my master's father. Just wait..." The honest Azhi, who had been afraid to speak up, spoke. He quickly took a small paper from the table by the wall.
The drawing of No. 1 was opened in front of Miss Ou: "Look, this is the improvement drawing of the bearing seat of the plate rolling machine that my master drew yesterday afternoon. Ahua and I kept watching his drawing. While the master was drawing, he said, if we can have
Professional drawing paper would be great, and the speed can be more than doubled."
Ou Yaoting took the drawings and looked at them carefully in his daughter's surprised eyes: "It's so good! A small improvement simplifies two parts, amazing! What a genius...Daughter, this is true, you see, although these drawings are cut evenly
, but they are all machine wrapping paper, and real technicians will not use such low-quality paper."
Uncle Jiu stepped forward and said with emotion: "My boss, Azhi is my grandson. Every day when I go back, he tells me what he has learned. I am very happy to see my grandson learning his skills day by day! Master Xiaoyi has no secrets.
I have devoted myself to guiding my two apprentices, and now Ah Zhi and Ah Hua can repair things independently, and they can get answers to any questions they don’t understand. Boss, do you have a saying that you don’t know whether to say or not?”
"Uncle Ninth, you watched me grow up, what can't you say as a family?" Ou Yaoting had great respect for this old man who had served his family conscientiously all his life.
Uncle Jiu nodded and said sincerely: "We must keep such a treasure! Although he has not been here long, his contribution is obvious to all. At first everyone looked down on him, but now everyone respects him, which is rare! The day before yesterday
, I saw Mr. Hans, the deputy manager of the German Lulin Company, came to see Xiaoyi again. At first I heard that Hans did not believe what shopkeeper Chen said and thought that our people would never have such a high level of repair.
I ran over to see with my own eyes, and ended up staying with Xiao Yi all afternoon, and then came here twice, until the day before yesterday I took a small roll of brown paper and left in a hurry. Boss, I'm worried that foreigners have taken a liking to Xiao Yi, and foreigners are too rich to give it up.
When it comes to spending money, the locals who work in foreign companies have good incomes. Those who sweep floors can also get a monthly salary of 18 yuan. Those in charge of sales are very good. The minimum monthly salary is 80 yuan, plus dividends and commissions. Those who are compradors are even higher.
So I’m worried that Xiaoyi is young and has an unstable temperament, and might change jobs out of confusion. If that happens, we will suffer huge losses.”
Ou Yaoting nodded: "Uncle Jiu is right, it seems we have to pay attention. Well, it's almost lunch time. I won't see An Yi since there are guests at home."
"Master, move slowly!"
When Ou Yaoting walked out of Warehouse No. 4, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked Ah Hua who was sent out: "What did Hans come here to say to your master the day before yesterday? I remember that Hans was very young. He had just arrived in Guangzhou from Germany a few months ago.
, can’t speak Cantonese or Mandarin, how can the two of them communicate?”
"I heard that they were speaking English. Hans's English was very good. The master's English was not very good and he was stammering. But the master could even understand Hans's drawings, especially the drawings he drew.
You can tell by looking at it, and he kept giving thumbs up to the master." Ah Hua obviously admires his master.
"He speaks English? Got it... Manager Ou, tell An Yi for me that I will treat him to dinner tonight at the Yuexiang Restaurant a few doors down from us." Ou Yaoting made up his mind to meet him.
When you meet this young man who hides his secrets, you have to discuss everything after meeting him.
Manager Ou was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "I'll remember it and I'll tell him later."
Ou Yaoting nodded and turned to leave. When he got into the car, he saw his precious daughter staring blankly in front of him. Ou Yaoting looked around and saw that An Yi was standing six meters away. His clothes were covered with oil and dust, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
Looking at his daughter.
When Miss Ou saw An Yi's dirty clothes and the confused look on his face, she cursed "Rogue" angrily. The car turned around and drove out of the yard, and Miss Ou said angrily: "Dad
, What do you think about the honesty and loyalty of the man named An? He looks slovenly and looks like a gangster, huh!"
"Haha! Who makes my baby girl so beautiful? Not to mention An Yi, dad feels like he's seeing an angel when he sees you."
"Dad, you're here again!"
"Haha! Well, you go to dinner with dad tonight, and we want to see how much information this An Yi has..."
