Chapter 36 Day 1 of Opening
In May, the sun was blazing.
"Watch me build a motorcycle?"
Wang Yang was somewhat stunned, pondering Sun Desheng's purpose in coming.
Did the rival send someone to steal their technology?
Wang Yangming had only just opened his business, and his technical expertise was not well-known; his business was only popular within the Chun'an Street area.
Moreover, how can you be so straightforward as to steal technology by simply barging into someone else's factory and stating your intentions?
Isn't this a bit too unrestrained?
"Yes, I want to see you build a motorcycle. You probably can't, can you?"
Sun Desheng scanned his surroundings. The equipment in this parts manufacturing workshop was too advanced for him to have ever been exposed to before.
Sun Desheng thought he had come to the wrong place, or that Secretary Hu had introduced the wrong person.
Anyway, the young man in front of me doesn't look like someone who can build motorcycles, let alone high-quality motorcycles.
You're so young, do you even know anything about machining?
"Whether I can build motorcycles or not seems to matter, right?"
"Well then, the auto repair shop will be opening soon, and I'm going to give the mechanics a quick training session. If you'd like to watch, you can do so from the side."
Wang Yang wasn't angry. Since the other party said they were introduced by Secretary Hu, he had to give them face.
However, Wang Yang waved his hand, signaling Liu Hui to call Secretary Hu to verify the situation and find out what was going on with this person.
If this guy is just bluffing, then on his own turf, Wang Yang can do whatever he wants.
"Can."
Sun Desheng nodded. He had taken a whole day off and had plenty of time.
Since Secretary Hu said it was Wang Yang from Chun'an Auto Repair Shop, he had to find out the background of the young man in front of him.
Sun Desheng's departure without fully understanding the situation and his subsequent rebuttal of Secretary Hu's words will also damage their relationship.
He also wanted to learn some bait-making techniques from Secretary Hu.
"Boss, here are the motorcycle parts you ordered."
Shen Jingsheng waved his arm. He and his men were security guards and general laborers at the auto repair shop.
This place is remote and not many people come here, so there is naturally not much risk.
Therefore, Shen Jingsheng and others only need to play cards and lend a hand to earn 250 yuan a month. Why not?
If you're willing to learn technical skills, you can become an auto repair apprentice. Later, when you become a qualified auto repair master, you can even get a raise.
Although the salary is below average, the job is less demanding, includes meals and accommodation, and offers opportunities for advancement.
At least, I won't be scolded by my family for not doing my job properly anymore.
"These are..."
Sun Desheng stepped forward to observe, and even reached out to pry and check the situation.
These discarded parts, though they look good, are difficult to repair due to their complex structure.
It looks like a pile of worthless mechanical junk.
"Boss, here are some more."
Shen Jingsheng's younger brother brought over another basket, which contained old parts that Wang Yang had already repaired.
Wang Yang plans to use discarded and repaired parts to teach how to repair various parts.
"Who...whose handiwork is this?"
Sun Desheng picked up the repaired parts, his eyes wide open as if admiring a work of art.
Clearly, the two baskets of parts were the same thing; someone had just fixed them.
Motorcycles in Hong Kong Island are more than a decade ahead of those in mainland China. Even parts are beyond the capabilities of mainland auto repair technology.
Sun Desheng believes that even with his two or three decades of experience, it would take a lot of effort to repair these parts, and he might still fail at the last minute.
The appearance of these two batches of parts convinced Sun Desheng that the auto repair master he was looking for was right here.
"Jingsheng, go and call the experienced craftsmen over."
Wang Yang glanced at Sun Desheng out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see the man's reaction.
Judging from the way Sun Desheng examined the parts just now, Wang Yang knew that this man was an expert.
Although it is still unknown why Secretary Hu introduced Sun Desheng here, Wang Yang now desperately needs someone with technical expertise to oversee things.
Maybe we can poach some talent from them.
"As expected, there's an experienced master craftsman..."
Sun Desheng suddenly realized what was happening and breathed a sigh of relief.
With an experienced master craftsman present, everything can be explained clearly.
These repaired parts must have been made by a master craftsman, not by the young man in front of me.
After all, Wang Yang is so young, how many years could he have studied auto repair? He couldn't possibly have this kind of skill.
"Director Wang, all the experienced workers have arrived."
Wei Guodong brought a dozen or so people, including experienced craftsmen, as well as homeless people and hoodlums who wanted to learn skills.
As long as they are willing to learn and work hard, they won't be homeless or hoodlums for the rest of their lives.
In any era, only those who are willing to improve will encounter helpful people.
"Old Wei?"
Sun Desheng was taken aback when he saw Wei Guodong, wondering why this person was here.
Both of them worked in Guangzhou and were apprentice auto mechanics trained by the same master.
However, Wei Guodong, seeking stability, opened a car repair shop, while Sun Desheng continued to travel to various places, honing his skills.
As they chose different paths, their contact decreased, and naturally, their relationship faded.
However, Sun Desheng had no doubt that Wei Guodong had the skills to repair parts; perhaps he had learned them when he was the factory manager.
Moreover, there are so many experienced masters here, and there might be some who are even more knowledgeable than Wei Guodong.
"Old Sun? Wow, it really is you, kid."
Wei Guodong was somewhat shocked to see his old friend.
However, Director Wang is still here, so this isn't the time for reminiscing; business is more important.
"Well, sirs, compare the two baskets of parts, and take out the broken parts that you think you can repair to what extent."
Wang Yang didn't have much contact with these experienced masters, so he could only use this method to get a feel for their technical skills in order to arrange work for them.
"Old Wei, what does this young man mean? Aren't these two baskets of parts the ones you guys made?"
Sun Desheng looked puzzled and asked Wei Guodong, who was standing next to him, for an explanation.
In Sun Desheng's view, these two baskets of parts looked like they were made by experienced people.
Naturally, he assumed that Wei Guodong was the manufacturer of these parts.
"Old Sun, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you haven't kept in touch with your old buddies all these years. You've been busy learning new skills."
"After studying for so many years, your eyesight shouldn't be so bad that you can't even tell how difficult these parts are to repair?"
Wei Guodong was puzzled, unsure why Sun Desheng had such a misconception.
After completing his apprenticeship, Wei Guodong went from running a small shop to an auto repair shop, leaving him with very little time to delve into technical skills.
"What do you mean by that? You didn't fix these parts?"
Sun Desheng was somewhat bewildered and began to doubt his own judgment.
The other experienced mechanics present were fiddling with motorcycle parts, their techniques clearly indicating they hadn't had much experience in motorcycle repair.
If it wasn't these experienced masters and Wei Guodong, then who else could it be?
"Of course, it's our Factory Director Wang!"
Wei Guodong waved his hand.
He was also shocked when he first learned about this.
To have such skills at such a young age is truly infuriating.
"What?! Which Factory Director Wang? Could it be this young man?!"
"Our Chun'an Auto Repair Shop only has one factory manager, and that is Factory Manager Wang."
"These parts, of course, were made by him."
