Early the next morning, Huang Xuan got into his second-hand Bentley and escorted his uncle Zhang Si to the city.
According to a young man, Sha Shangyu, one of the top "Lao Shas" in the country, lives near Xinjiekou Guomao Building.
Huang Xuan's Hexin Industrial also operates in the Guomao Building, with a prime location rent of 5 yuan per square meter per day.
Looking at the boundary where every inch of land is really valuable, Huang Xuan raised his neck and looked at the 40-story apartment near a group of office buildings and said: "How much income does your Guoan have? To rent a 100-square-meter house here, you can't spend less than 00,000 a year." ?”
"10 square meters, the annual rent is 00,000." Zhang Si didn't bother to talk about being late, and mumbled: "Lao Sha has retired. We always come to the company to see him when we have something to do. He did some small business on his own back then. He invented something, got some patents, etc., and started the Shajia lock business, which was kind of prosperous. He bought the house because it was close to the company. "
As the two of them talked, the elevator reached the fifth floor.
Zhang Si rang the bell and explained to Huang Xuan at the same time: "I'm afraid we have to wait for two minutes, Lao Sha is not here sometimes."
"Not there? Then why are we here?"
"His company is very close to here, and the bells are connected to each other, and..." Zhang Si pointed at the top of the door frame.
Huang Xuan looked up, but it was a camera.
"Very smart." Huang Xuan commented.
"Thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, an old man opened the door from inside.
Zhang Si smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Sha, this is my nephew, Huang Xuan. I want to meet you."
Sha Shangyu is a tall old man, he should be in his mid-sixties, his skin has deep wrinkles, but his face is red, and there is no sign of being hunched over. Huang Xuan smiled and nodded, and said, "Mr. Sha is in really good health. No wonder my uncle said you can still run the company."
"Hobby, hobby." Sha Shangyu smiled and introduced the two people to the door, and said straight to the point: "What do you want to do? How big of a company."
"Actually..."
Huang Xuan was about to say the purpose of his trip when he was interrupted by Zhang Si: "Mr. Sha, you know Hexin Industrial, right? It's run by my nephew. It's quite a big company."
"Oh." Sha Shangyu said with some disbelief: "I have dealt with security issues for many companies in the International World Building. I have seen Hexin Industrial. All the Blu-ray discs sold on the market are produced by you? Oh, come and sit here."
"We produced it, but I rarely go to the company recently."
Compared with the value of this house, Sha Shangyu's decoration is a bit too rough. Except for the large exhibition cabinet that opens up the wall, it is made of all glass and looks like the honor wall of a foreign sports club.
Huang Xuan shrugged, walked to the cabinet that occupied the entire room and said, "Is it okay?"
"Of course, part of my collection." Sha Shangyu was very proud as he made tea: "They are all the locks I bought over the years, from stone locks to copper locks, iron locks, everything. I like it Locks in different shapes.”
"Like this?" Huang Xuan pointed to a separate glass cabinet. To be honest, the inside looked more like metal artifacts than a lock.
"Turtle-shaped locks, shrimp-shaped locks... Seniors can always think of different locks." Speaking of collecting, Sha Shangyu sighed, like many old people who like to collect.
Huang Xuan is very familiar with this process, especially when he saw that the retired Sha Shangyu actually didn't pay much attention to his uncle, he knew that being polite to Zhang Si was a waste, and this guy couldn't help at all. .
Sha Shangyu was indeed a little happy and said: "Young people nowadays like to collect valuable things and invest them in value-added things. Hey, I am old, but I have always liked locks. I used to change locks and replace them. They will come back, and sometimes they will take it back secretly, haha.”
Zhang Si was a little dumbfounded when he saw that Huang Xuan was so happy with Sha Shangyu. When he was going to collect the items, he said in Huang Xuan's ear: "No wonder dad wants to divide the family property to you."
Huang Xuan smiled indifferently and continued to play with a copper lock said to be from the Qing Dynasty. There was a gap two or three centimeters long and thinner than an ordinary key on the front end. It looked very simple.
Sha Shangyu introduced: "Look at the connection of this lock, which is all done by riveting and inserting operations. There was no welding process at that time, and the reed was directly embedded in the lock head. It is more difficult to pick than the current lock, at least for you You can only use technical methods, not gadgets.”
He enthusiastically introduced two locks to Huang Xuan, and then casually asked: "Young man, do you want to see me for something?"
Huang Xuan stretched out his hand and pulled out two boxes and said, "Old Sha, I want to learn how to unlock the locks from you."
Sha Shangyu looked at Zhang Si, shook his head and said, "I don't accept disciples."
"There is no need for you to accept me as your apprentice. I will follow you these days. I hope you can teach me some simple skills. Then I may have some questions. If you can answer them, I would be very grateful. This is a gift of thanks, not respect." Huang Xuan Place two boxes of three-headed abalone on the table.
Sha Shangyu took a look and said thoughtfully: "You said your surname is Huang, and you are from the Huang family in Nanjing."
"yes."
After all, Sha Shangyu had been in Guoan. Seeing Zhang Si lowering his head and saying nothing, he was silent for a long time before saying, "In principle, I agree to teach you something, but I have the final say on how to teach you."
Huang Xuan shook his head and nodded, but said nothing more and said directly: "Then let's start now?"
Sha Shangyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then go to my company, the house is very messy."
While walking on the road, Zhang Si answered the phone busily, and Sha Shangyu asked casually, "What lock do you want to open?" He had already guessed Huang Xuan's purpose and asked directly.
Huang Xuan didn't hide anything, describing the third floor of P001 he saw, thinking as he said: "I don't know how to explain the structure inside. It doesn't feel like the structure of our locks. First it's very big, and then there are many The gap, I don’t know what to say..."
Sha Shangyu became interested and said, "Then how does it close?"
Huang Xuan recalled: "The outer edges are all dead, that is, there are no gaps, and then the keyhole, near the keyhole, there are many teeth biting each other, like, like..."
"Small cylinder?"
"Yes." Huang Xuan nodded immediately.
Sha Shangyu asked again: "Is the keyhole located at the bite position?"
Huang Xuan thought about it and said, "It doesn't seem like he's here."
"under?"
"like."
"Then if the key is inserted, will the teeth move up and down according to the different curves of the key? Then the lock will open?"
Huang Xuan looked at Sha Shangyu in surprise and said, "It seems like this."
Sha Shangyu said, somewhat dumbfounded: "Are there springs on those small columns?"
Naturally, the solidified Nengton has no springs. Huang Xuan was about to deny it, but stopped, and asked Lorraine in a guttural voice: "Remember, some of the outer layers of P001 are not solidified, right?"
"yes."
"If the entire outer layer of P001 is a big lock, then its entire range will expand and contract?"
Lorraine answered clearly in the affirmative.
Huang Xuan immediately nodded to Sha Shangyu and said, "There is a spring."
Sha Shangyu burst out laughing, and simply found a bench on the street to sit down and said, "No need to go to my company, I will teach you now."
Huang Xuan hesitated and said: "Is it very simple? It shouldn't be that simple."
"The simplest lock."
Sha Shangyu snorted disdainfully and said: "The simplest mechanical lock, well, how can I say good to you? It should be a good thing if you don't know how to open the lock, but you simply don't understand. I don't know how to say it." It seems that opening the lock is a good thing. Whether or not to open the lock made him very embarrassed.
Mr. Sha took out a small lock from his pocket, jumped out of one, snapped off the lid and said: "Look, this is the simplest mechanical lock, the one you used when you were young, single-chip. Call a locksmith." A lock can be purchased for only fifty cents.”
Huang Xuan took it in his hand and looked at it. It was a broken lock that cost two or three yuan on the street. Cabinets are often locked in the office. He said with some uncertainty: "I think it is at least the level of a safe."
"Then you have to try it yourself. If you want to open a safe, it will take you several years of practice. Watch this first."
"good."
Sha Shangyu probably taught a lot of people. After removing the lock three times, five times and two times, there was no skin left. He pointed at the lock cylinder with tweezers and said: "Look, the middle of the lock cylinder is where the key is inserted. Its On top, this row of small columns meshes with the small columns of the lock body, right? "
Huang Xuan looked at it seriously and said, "Yes."
"Actually, that's not the case." Sha Shangyu immediately opened the top of the lock and said, "Look, there is a spring here. It is the spring that engages these small cylinders."
"Oh." Huang Xuan looked at it magically.
"Now." Sha Shangyu moved the small cylinder and said: "When the key goes in, the small cylinder will be squeezed open. If it is a suitable key, all the small cylinders will be squeezed into a line. Once twisted, The lock is opened."
He demonstrated over and over again: "If the key doesn't fit, if it's too big, of course it won't fit in. If it's too small, you see, the key's curve is inappropriate, and at least one small cylinder will be pushed into the lock core or body." , not on a line, it means that the small cylinder below is left in the lock core, or because it is not connected to the top, the small cylinder above is left on the lock body. In this way..." He pulled it and said: "Lock. It won’t open.”
He took out a hook and said: "So our lock-picking technique is to align all the small cylinders and find a way to make a similar curve. It is the most primitive way. If you have more, you can also hit it to make it Align in an instant, or use the key bumping method..."
The remaining Huang Xuan didn't listen at all. He asked eagerly: "I just need to align these small cylinders to open the lock?"
"That's right." Sha Shangyu put the lock into his pocket and said, "Any locksmith on the street can open such a lock, and it's very easy to smash it."
"It can't be smashed." Huang Xuan said, turned around and ran away, shouting from a distance: "Old Sha, I'll call you if I have any questions."
Sha Shangyu was stunned, shook his head for a while and said: "Another impatient boy." (To be continued)
