Chapter 173: Winning over the Old Blacksmith

Lin Yun said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to recognize me all the time. It's really an honor for me!"

The old blacksmith quickly put down the quenched knives in his hands, rubbed his smudged hands casually on his body, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with the batch of small parts that Xiao Lao forged for you last time? "

Lin Yun understood that he was referring to the parts that make the pistol.

Satisfied nodded and said: "Not bad! Although there are still some small flaws, but it does not affect the use!"

The old blacksmith's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly. He thought that Lin Yun must be here to place another order this time, and it would also allow him to make another fortune before the end of the year.

"Then I don't know what Mr. Lin needs for this visit?"

Lin Yun showed an intriguing smile, and said, "I'm not here to find your old iron forger this time!"

The old blacksmith was obviously taken aback, and said in astonishment: "What is the matter with the young master?"

His mood was obviously not as high as before. He turned to look at the apprentice who was also forging knives not far away, and shouted: "Don't be lazy! This batch of work must be completed before dark!"

The apprentices agreed repeatedly, and the hammers in their hands were rounded by them.

Lin Yun shook his head bitterly. The old blacksmith was too snobbish. When he learned that he was not here to forge iron, he immediately changed his face.

In fact, the old blacksmith couldn't be blamed, he had too many clients in contact with him every day, he was so busy that his feet hit the back of his head, and he didn't have the time to chat with people at all.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Although I don't intend to forge ironware when I come here next time, I have a chance to make a lot of money. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Make a lot of money? Of course I'm interested!" The old blacksmith's old eyes lit up, but when he saw Lin Yun's calculating expression, his smile stiffened again, and he said, "Mr. Lin is not kidding me, right? Knowing that you are the son of the Lin family, even my little blacksmith shop can't handle such a big deal!"

"I haven't elaborated yet. How do you know if you can catch it or not? Besides, I'm a little thirsty! Can I ask for a cup of tea to soothe my throat?"

The old blacksmith was also considered a fine man. Seeing Lin Yun's pretentious attitude, he nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, please come with Xiao Lao!"

With that said, he turned around and left, opened the curtain of the back door, and came to a shed in the backyard.

This is a temporary building he built for his usual rest.

Lin Yun followed, and sat down on the long chair generously.

The old blacksmith picked up the teapot on the table, poured him a cup himself, and said, "Mr. Lin, don't be disgusted, there is no good tea in this poor place of Xiaolao! You just have to go!"

Lin Yun nodded, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "Could it be barley tea?"

The old blacksmith smiled and said, "Mr. Lin has good eyesight, you can recognize such cheap tea!"

"You don't need to be flattering, my son has traveled from south to north, and has seen a lot of customs and customs. I still understand the most basic common sense of these low-level people!"

Lin Yun deliberately didn't get into the topic, and said some unnutritious words.

In fact, since he traveled to this world, he hasn't been anywhere, only the Lin family and the current Yucheng generation.

Sure enough, the old blacksmith got impatient and asked, "Mr. Lin, what did you say about the business that made you a lot of money? You should hurry up and talk about it! The little old man is not as good as Mr. Lin, he is in a hurry every day! You If you don’t say it, then I’ll go back and get busy!”

With that said, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Hey... why are you so anxious! Let's talk about business after I finish drinking this cup of tea!"

Lin Yun pushed him back onto the chair.

The old blacksmith was forced to have no choice but to sit opposite and stare blankly.

Lin Yun waited for a stick of incense to finish drinking the cup of tea.

"Mr. Lin, can you speak now?"

The old blacksmith already thought that Lin Yun came to him to relieve his boredom, and he didn't intend to talk about serious business at all, so his attitude became more and more bad.

But in fact, Lin Yun did this just to see if the old blacksmith was resilient. At the same time, his treatment of customers like Lin Yun could best reflect his true face.

Lin Yun wanted to see through the essence of this old blacksmith.

Lin Yun nodded and said: "That's right, I like your iron-making skills, so... I want to recruit you! It just so happens that I want to open an iron factory recently, and I need talents like you. I don't know how you feel about it?"

The old blacksmith stood up abruptly, and said displeasedly: "I'm not interested! Mr. Lin, although the blacksmith's shop is small, it receives a lot of customers every day. Although the money it earns is not as good as Mr. Lin, it is still enough to support me. The whole family! If I follow Mr. Lin, how will I arrange for my apprentices? They are all pointing at me to support their families!"

Lin Yun smiled approvingly, and said: "I didn't see that, you are always a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If this is the case, I will appreciate you even more!"

The old blacksmith frowned, waiting for Lin Yun to speak.

He didn't get carried away because of Lin Yun's respect, but he still thought about his followers all the time, which is very rare.

Lin Yun was already optimistic about him, but now he values ​​the old blacksmith even more.

"How about it! You can always leave a few people to look after the store, and bring a few right-hand assistants to build an iron factory with me. I know that you have to support your family and your apprentices! You can always tell the number! As long as it is not too exaggerated, I will promise you!"

Lin Yun knew very well that everything was difficult at the beginning. If you want to build an ironworks and make the ironworks operate normally, you absolutely cannot do without manpower, especially experienced talents like old blacksmiths.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Yun said these words, the old blacksmith hesitated and stared at him with piercing eyes, as if he wanted to see through Lin Yun.

Lin Yun smiled and said: "What? You must seize this opportunity. After all, I have always been the one who plucks other people's wool, but I have never been plucked by others! Don't you always want to make a lot of money? The opportunity is here!"

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Lin Yun spoke out to seduce him.

"Eh…"

The old blacksmith sighed deeply, and said with a complicated expression: "Mr. Lin, you are a big shot, and an old blacksmith like Xiaolao will definitely not be able to feel your style! But can you tell me why you like Xiaolao?"

Although he loves money, he will never be controlled by money, let alone be deceived by Lin Yun's rhetoric.

Therefore, he is still awake until now.

Lin Yun became more and more satisfied with him, and the more he refused, the more Lin Yun valued him.

Building an ironworks by oneself is an absolute core secret, and it cannot be known to outsiders in the short term.

It would definitely be a blessing to have such a capable, thoughtful subordinate who can keep calm at all times.

Lin Yun coughed lightly, stopped acting, and said seriously: "Actually, I only valued your old ability at first. After all, I want to build an ironworks is not a trivial matter! It must be led by an old blacksmith with superb skills. However, the advantages you have shown in your old age make me even more excited!"
