Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

Chapter 1779 Chaojiang Lock King

No one can open it? This foreigner is really crazy!

Hearing this, many people at the scene showed disdainful expressions.

The foreigner looked around and said, "If anyone is not convinced, please come up and try. If you can open our company's lock, I will apologize to you in public and give you a certain bonus as an encouragement. If you can't open it, it proves that what I just said is all true. The exhibition you held in this place is a complete scam to deceive yourself and others."

All the locksmiths on the stage suddenly got angry.

Someone said, "Don't brag, just take out the anti-theft lock and I'll open it for you in a minute."

Some said: "Yes, hurry up and take it out and see what technical content your broken lock has!"

The audience below the stage cheered.

The foreigner looked at the locksmiths with disdain, then waved his hand, and immediately a staff member came up with a set of locks.

The foreigner said: "Don't brag, I've already taken out the lock, open it if you can!"

When everyone saw this set of locks, including the professional locksmith, their eyes widened.

The size of this set of locks is more than twice as large as door locks produced by other manufacturers. The lock core and lock body are all made of pure metal, and the material is extremely strong.

Many experts frowned. Such a large lock body is definitely not for decoration. The spring inside must be very complicated. If you try casually and fail, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

All of a sudden, the locksmiths' voices became quieter, and for a full half minute, no one dared to take the first step.

The foreigner laughed: "What's going on? Can the Chinese only know how to make noises but don't have the courage to go on stage? It's really disappointing, boring, and uninteresting!"

Upon hearing this, the audience urged the locksmiths to hurry up and win glory for the country.

The locksmiths looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on an old man with gray hair.

"Mr. Guo, look..."

Mr. Guo stared at the lock and suddenly laughed: "Are you all shocked by the material and size of the lock? In fact, a big lock is useless. The core of the lock is the mechanism design inside. If it was useful, door locks wouldn't be getting smaller and smaller."

Everyone's eyes lit up: "Mr. Guo, do you mean that you are sure you can open it?"

Mr. Guo shook his head and said, "I have never tried it, so I dare not say anything outrageous, but I still have the courage to give it a try."

The staff at the Expo brought a huge lock frame and embedded the lock into it, forming a security door model that was about the same size as a normal door.

Under everyone's gaze, Mr. Guo took out his tool kit and slowly walked to the security door.

The foreigner looked at his white hair, curled his lips and said: "You are already old, your eyes are blurry, and you still come to open the lock? What a waste of time!"

Mr. Guo smiled and said, "Young people should not speak too arrogantly. Lock picking is a skill, not a competition of strength. It has nothing to do with age."

As he spoke, he put on his glasses, then took out a piece of wire from the tool kit and started tinkering with the lock core.

The scene was completely silent, as all the audience were expecting the master on the stage to crack the lock, making the Chinese proud and leaving the foreigners empty-handed.

As time passed, Mr. Guo sweated more and more, and the expressions of the audience became more and more solemn.

Ten minutes later, everyone knew that this time the dish was ruined.

Before, those lock-picking masters only needed three to five minutes at most to demonstrate their lock-picking skills, and they could open any lock. But now this old master has already wasted ten minutes and still hasn't succeeded, which proves that he doesn't have this skill!

The host came over to the other locksmiths and asked quietly, "Can the old man do it? Should we replace him with a younger one?"

The master he asked glared and said, "Do you think you are playing a game? Send the soldiers first, and if the soldiers don't work, send the generals? Do you know the status of that old Guo? He is the Chaojiang Lock King. If he doesn't work, it's useless for us to go up!"

"..."

The host was silent. He looked at Mr. Guo, the King of Chaojiang Locks. The sweat on his forehead was already dripping onto the platform.

Obviously, he had no way to open the lock that the foreigner showed him.

The foreigner next to him pouted and said, "Old man, if you can't do it, just replace it with a young person. Time is money. Wasting everyone's time is equivalent to stealing money and killing people."

Mr. Guo took a deep breath, ignored the foreigner's provocation, and continued to concentrate on unlocking the door.

After another five or six minutes, Mr. Guo finally sighed, straightened his back, shook his head, and walked down the platform silently.

He failed!

Seeing this, the foreigner couldn't help but complain: "I told you that you can't do it, but you insisted on holding on. In the end, you will be kicked out in disgrace? Are there any of you locksmiths who want to challenge our company's products?"

"To tell you the truth, this set of locks is a super anti-theft lock specially made by our company for the castles of European nobles. You Chinese people definitely can't open it. Otherwise, how can those noble gentlemen and ladies with distinguished backgrounds feel safe?"

This is so infuriating.

The audience below the platform suddenly burst into shouting and cursing.

The host frowned and changed the subject, "Is there any other master who wants to try it?"

The locksmiths looked at each other and didn't dare to take action.

After all, even Chaojiang Lock King can’t do it, so who would dare to go up and embarrass himself?

Seeing that they were all scared, the foreigner couldn't help but look up and laugh, "You guys are quite self-aware, which is rare. You know that our country is backward and our technology is backward, so you don't come up to waste time. Well, you are better than that old man... I think there is no need to continue this activity, let's disperse, it's boring!"

After saying that, the foreigner waved his hand and told the staff to take out the locks from their company.

Just at this time.

Suddenly someone in the audience shouted, "Wait, let me try."

The man spoke in a calm voice, instantly quieting the entire venue.

The foreigner looked at the middle-aged man with a dull expression and ordinary figure and appearance with contempt: "Can you do it?"

The host also asked tentatively: "Sir, do you have the ability to open a lock? Are you an enthusiastic audience member?"

The dull middle-aged man said, "Yes, but if I don't have the ability, would it be embarrassing for me to come here?"

The host laughed dryly and said, "That's not what I meant. Since you are confident, come up and try. I think you must be a very professional locksmith!"

The man shook his head and said, "I'm not a professional locksmith. I'm just an employee at a hardware store."

After these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.

Mr. Guo under the booth said in a deep voice: "Young man, the design of this lock is very clever. I have never seen its complexity in my life. There is no need for you to waste everyone's time. This kind of lock cannot be opened in Chaojiang area or even in the country!"

The dull middle-aged man sneered: "You can't open it, so you say that no one in Chaojiang can open it? Do you really think that you can represent the lock-picking level of the entire Chaojiang area? I think you have little ability, but you are arrogant!"
