"Tom, have you read the newspaper? Mr. Morgan has launched a challenge. If you can open his newly developed safe within half an hour, you will get a prize of one thousand dollars!"
"I saw it. Many newspapers are publishing this advertisement, but can you pick the lock?"
"No, but you can try it. If you open it, it will be a thousand dollars!"
"Don't forget to pay the five-dollar registration fee!"
"I know, but what's five dollars compared to a thousand dollars?"
""
That's right, the safe challenge issued by Morgan is naturally the turntable safe newly developed by Tang Ning. After cooperating with Morgan to open the factory, in order to expand publicity, Tang Ning came up with the idea of giving prizes for unlocking the safe.
On the day of the challenge, when he saw many challengers, Morgan asked Tangning worriedly: "Tony, you said no one can open it, right?"
"Don't worry, no one can open it. I feel like we can make a lot of money today!" Tang Ning comforted.
While the two were chatting, the host interviewed a contestant and asked: "Mr. Kennan, are you here also for this thousand-dollar prize?" The reason why the host interviewed him was because this Kennan Mr. Nan is one of the most famous locksmiths in New York City.
Kennan waved his hand and said, "I'm not here for the bonus this time. I'm very interested in this new type of lock."
After chatting for a while, the host began to announce the challenge rules: "Each group of ten challengers will have a time limit of half an hour. Any method can be used except violent means. Okay, now the challenge begins!"
Obviously, this brand-new rotary-type combination lock was beyond the scope of knowledge of all locksmiths at the time. Although three locksmiths, including Kenan, easily cracked the key, no one cracked the code. In fact, this was not the case. It's normal, because they don't know the principle of this kind of lock, so it is naturally impossible to use the common cracking method of lying on the cabinet door to listen to the sound in spy movies. Of course, even if you want to listen, the noisy environment of the scene Not allowed either.
At this time, the host continued to interview Kennan: "Mr. Kennan, what do you think of the safety of this new safe?"
Kennan thought for a moment and then replied: "I plan to order a safe like this from Mr. Tangning."
"Why do you think this kind of safe is very safe?" the host asked in surprise.
Kennan shook his head and replied: "You misunderstood. I didn't buy this safe to keep things. As a poor old man like me, I don't have much worth putting in the safe. I just bought it to study this kind of lock. I feel This kind of lock is completely different from the locks I have come into contact with before. I can only find a way to crack it by taking it apart and studying it carefully."
"Tony, your idea is really great. People have already started ordering our safes!" Morgan praised Tangning after the event.
Tang Ning replied disapprovingly: "This is normal. After all, the anti-theft measures of our safe are here. As long as the security is high enough, many rich people will buy it. In fact, I have always felt that this is the case. The development direction of safes has gone awry in 2018. They always focus on fireproof materials, but they forget that fire is only a small probability event compared to thieves!"
Morgan nodded and agreed: "Indeed, even if there was a safe before, I didn't dare to keep important documents at home, but stored them in the bank, but now I can safely store them in the safe at home!"
Then Morgan hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Tony, although our current cooperation method is the most beneficial to me, from the perspective of a friend, I still want to persuade you to move to New York. It would be a waste of you in New Orleans.
What a talent in business!”
Tangning naturally knew what Morgan meant. In fact, Jonathan had told her before that although she had hired people such as Rockefeller, Maxim, Edison, etc., it was not as good as sitting in charge herself. But if she moved to New York, it would be equivalent to giving up her career.
Everything about New Orleans really made him reluctant to part with it.
So Tangning said perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll go back and think about it carefully!"
After returning to her residence to vent her anger on Danina and Keira, Tangning felt better. When she got up and poured wine, she saw Danina's easel with an unfinished oil painting on it, with the sun and beach in the background.
, the subject is a girl lying on a deck chair.
After seeing this painting, Tang Ning picked up the paintbrush on a whim and painted another girl lying on a lounge chair next to the girl, but the difference was that this was a girl wearing a bikini.
The reason why Tang Ning drew it like this was because he looked at the swimsuits of this period as very awkward. Not to mention women, even men's swimsuits had to cover their arms and thighs.
Women's swimsuits of this period consisted of jackets on top and trousers on the bottom (women were not allowed to wear trousers in normal times), but they were an improvement compared to before. Before that, women's swimsuits not only had to cover the whole body but even had hats. Compared with our home clothes,
More formal
Just as Tangning was painting vigorously, Danina came over. As soon as she saw the painting, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Tony, what is this you painted?"
Tangning pointed to the name painted in the lower right corner and replied: "A girl on the seaside!"
"That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking what the girl you painted is wearing?" Danina asked angrily.
"Swimsuit!" Tangning replied with a smile.
"Are you kidding me? There is no swimsuit like this. Is this any different from wearing nothing at all?" Danina said with a frown.
"Of course there is a difference, at least it still covers the most important parts!" Tangning explained, and then said in a condescending manner: "And don't you think this swimsuit looks good?"
Danina was stunned by Tangning's question. Unexpectedly, Keira, who was watching the show at this moment, suddenly interrupted: "I think Tony is right. This swimsuit is indeed very beautiful!"
But then he asked: "Tony, where did you see this kind of swimsuit?"
"New York 200 years later!" Tangning replied calmly.
PS: Today I suddenly remembered a TV series I watched when I was a child. After searching for a long time, I found out that it was called "Gunshots in the Tide". Judging from the level of the 1980s, it was already very well-made. I highly recommend it if you want to know more about it.
Friends from Harbin during the period took a look and found that many of the outdoor scenes are no longer available. The only thing that surprised me was that this drama only had 12 episodes, but I don’t know why it seemed to me that there were many episodes.
