This ordinary watch repair shop, with the words "clock repair" written on it, is located under the stairs of a commercial street.
The shop is only five or six square meters. The owner's surname is Dai, and everyone calls him Lao Dai. He has been in this business for more than 30 years.
Zhao Mingyang opened the door and bent down and walked in. There was a simple operating table and a small glass cabinet. Lao Dai looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked: "Repairing a clock?"
"No, I want to buy a green water ghost that you assembled and put together. Old Tang introduced me to it," Zhao Mingyang said.
Old Tang was a client that Zhao Mingyang knew in his previous life. He seemed to be very classy. One time, he drank with him. He drank too much and revealed information that this was Old Dai. The clock repairman, Old Dai, had a unique skill, which was that he could imitate watches.
, and the workmanship is very good.
What makes him famous is that ordinary A-grade watches, such as the Green Water Ghost, are mostly made of junk craftsmanship, just like in appearance, because the craftsmanship of mechanical watches is relatively complicated, and A-grade watches cannot have that kind of good internal craftsmanship.
So there will be a very embarrassing scene.
If the watch hits a hard object or someone slaps it hard while wearing the A-grade Green Water Ghost, some internal parts may fall off.
When it comes to watches, an expert will know if they are genuine or not after taking a quick look at them and playing with them.
But most people really can’t tell whether a watch is genuine or fake, and whether it’s good or bad, but what if you meet an expert?
Lao Dai can make a kind of watch that makes the so-called experts, who are nothing more than a group of people who often wear watches and study watches, be mistaken. The products he sells are all assembled by himself, and many parts are from other customers' watches that have been repaired.
spliced together.
Including watch straps, some are from Omega, some are from Cartier. Some people think the straps are too big, so they remove one or two buckles, and then they keep them.
Someone's leather watch strap was severely worn, so he replaced it with a fake original leather watch strap, and renovated the customer's replaced one with starch and color.
For watches that have been repaired for more than 30 years, he does not have too many accessories, and he also has some dials and some damaged watches. He has recycled them, dismantled them, and then assembled them for sale. This is a real technical activity.
But this kind of thing cannot be auctioned or appraised. As long as it is completely dismantled, people will know that it may be an assembled watch. However, if you are not a professional watch repairer and do not disassemble it, it will be difficult for you to see the problems with the watch made by Lao Dai.
"Who is Old Tang? I don't know you. You are mistaken. I don't do that. There are high imitations in the cupboard. Just take them if you see them. I repair watches, not assemble them."
Dai Yaguchi denies it. If he admits it, some customers will be angry. They may come and vandalize his shop, and they may wonder if any of the accessories they used to repair their watches with him were replaced. For example, some of the screws on famous watches are exclusive.
of.
"It was introduced by Tang Dewu. Don't worry, I won't tell you nonsense. Don't worry, Master Dai. If you like it, I will definitely buy it." Zhao Mingyang said.
Lao Dai glanced at Zhao Mingyang and said: "You are so well-dressed, how come you know Rolex as well as Lao Tang? That's for beginners who are afraid of losing money and don't know how to buy it. I have to say that the most valuable watch within 100,000 yuan is
Rolex, no one retains its value better than it, and the same goes for the secondary market.
But Rolex lacks elegance and is not suitable for formal wear. If you are well-dressed, you just want to show off your style. Do you want to show off? What you need is a formal watch. Then you must wear a watch like Jaeger-LeCoultre, Blancpain, IWC, or Cartier.
It's okay, but that watch is basically for women. Low-end Vacheron Constantin models don't maintain their value and have little circulation. I've only seen Patek Philippe a few times and never had it repaired. You are not suitable for wearing Rolex. Rolex is not suitable for formal wear. It belongs to
Sports watch.”
"Master Dai, do you still have so many watches? Old Tang said you only make Rolex?" Zhao Mingyang asked.
"He recognized Rolex, so I sold him a Rolex. The price was right, and I could make it for you whatever you wanted. It was just time-consuming and labor-intensive. I have a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master series here, and this watch is my favorite."
It’s a satisfactory work. I spent a long time and made a lot of parts. Take a look and I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. It costs 100,000 at the counter. This watch mainly fits your temperament.”
Lao Dai stood up and took out a box from a large iron box. There was also a watch box in the box. After opening it, there was a black crocodile watch strap and a gold-rimmed dial. Jaeger-LeCoultre mainly looked at the bottom of the watch. It was a handicraft. When he saw the machine
The core is working.
"I won't brag about this watch. It's really a good watch. This watch was sold by a person before. I recycled it. The dial is broken, many parts are damaged, and the strap is also badly worn and has peeling skin.
Yes, I will process it myself and repair it bit by bit. You have to pay attention. Take it away. This watch is like a girl who has repaired a layer of film. Really, many of them are original. You just have to accept it mentally.
, it’s nothing.”
"Master Dai, if I were rich, I wouldn't come to buy from you. Don't I have no money? I just want to show off my face. Could you please speak lower down? You look down on me too much."
"Young man, you have to pay attention to quality. I also have inferior imitations of Qianbabai, but after wearing them for a year and a half, they continue to have problems, and the workmanship is far worse than this one. Look, this dial, this movement,
This strap is all unused accessories that I collected from multiple customers. This strap is really an original Jaeger-LeCoultre strap. Many of the internal accessories are also accessories from some famous watches. There are not more than 12,000.
."
"Master Dai, please give me a price I can afford. I want this watch for one thousand," Zhao Mingyang said.
"This is impossible. I spent half a year and the cost was not enough. The minimum was 95,000."
"I bought one thousand, and I come here often. I am a very pretentious and vain person, and I will often patronize your place in the future." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Nine thousand can't be lower. At least I have feelings for this watch, and it is really a good watch." Master Dai said.
"Master Dai, don't look at it. That car is not mine. It belongs to a female friend of mine. I borrowed it to drive. I don't have the strength to buy that car. Let me put it bluntly. I am a soft-boiled person who earns it."
It’s all hard-earned money, so sell it to me for a thousand dollars.”
"How can you do that job at such a young age? Sooner or later, your body will become weak. I was a classmate of mine and worked with you back then, and my kidneys failed at the age of thirty.
Hey - it’s not easy for you either, six thousand, you can buy it or not, don’t bargain, it’s at this price, there are cheap ones, there are also Rolex ones, you were introduced to me by Old Tang, three thousand for a green water ghost, you want
No, there are Cartier, Omega, I have them all, you can see for yourself, although they are of good quality, they are far behind this Jaeger-LeCoultre Master. I will guarantee the other watches for three months. If you buy this
This watch is guaranteed for six months."
"Okay! Six thousand is six thousand! I bought it! Add me on WeChat. Do you have a Cartier set with the original box?"
"Giving it to a girl? There are packaging boxes and certificates from Austria, as well as those from Japan and South Korea. It's useless if you have them in China. When you go to the counter to inspect the goods, it will be leaked. After all, the number of these watches sold in China is limited every year and it's easy to check.
Anyway, the watches I sell are absolutely fine for deceiving people. If you deceive women, you will be sure to deceive them every time."
"Okay! Next time I come to see you, you can count it if it's six thousand. By the way, do you have an old pocket watch? Just that old-fashioned pocket watch."
"Yes, eight hundred and one fine watch, guaranteed to last ten to eight years." Lao Dai said.
"Let me see."
"Look." Lao Dai took an old pocket watch and showed it to Zhao Mingyang.
Zhao Mingyang took the pocket watch and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. This is just a gift. I'll come to you to sell the watch next time."
Lao Dai······
I originally wanted to earn four or five thousand from you with tears in my eyes, but I can't make it now. I've lost two to three hundred.
Zhao Mingyang looked at the watch on his wrist. He had bought a few in his previous life. The watches were really well made, but Lao Dai’s craftsmanship and business were indeed shady. It was like some repairmen who repaired computers and cars and dismantled them as gifts from customers.
Come to repair the original parts of the product and replace them with other ones. Anyway, they are not easy to break and no one cares. It is difficult to find that the parts have been replaced.
In the past, a group of people who repaired computers often exchanged parallel-imported memory for original ones, and those who repaired mobile phones exchanged them for original screens, original cameras and batteries.
After tidying up these things, he made a high-quality product and sold it. That's what Lao Dai did. If you talk about the cost, his technology was indeed valuable, but he didn't use it in the right way.
As for the service life of this watch, Zhao Mingyang doesn't think how long it can last. It all depends on luck. It may break down in two or three months, or it may not have any problems in three to five years.
Everything is ready. If the guess is correct, Meng Xiaoxian should be with Qiu Shuhong, and the two may even discuss Zhao Mingyang. In their eyes, Zhao Mingyang is as submissive and plainly dressed as he was when they first met.
They would even think about how to tease Zhao Mingyang. If they saw Zhao Mingyang now, their first feeling would be that it was novel and their eyes would light up, but then they would be unaccustomed to it, which would disrupt their previous plans.
Next, as long as Zhao Mingyang masters the rhythm, the two people will fall into his rhythm. Although it is Qiu Shuhong's home, aura and control have no place.
Simply put, everyone has more or less powerful relatives and friends in their lives. If you observe carefully, you will find that no matter where they go, such people will quickly gain the right to speak and become the backbone of everyone.
Some companies will provide special training for field control. For example, when facing dealers and some customers, you must quickly gain dominance and have the right to speak.
Zhao Mingyang drove to the place Qiu Shuhong said. This place was a bit beyond Zhao Mingyang's expectations. How did she live here?
"Excuse me, does Mr. Qiu live here?" Zhao Mingyang knocked on the door and said.
The next chapter is very exciting, so stay tuned. Don't rush me to speed up the plot. Judging from the current pace, I may need 300,000 words or more to publish it. I hope everyone can support it, thank you, be grateful, vote monthly, and reward it.
