Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

The event was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

In just over twenty seconds, the lock, which was said to be the most advanced technology in the world and which even the Chaojiang Lock King could not open, was opened easily by the middle-aged man.

The foreigner's face was full of shock.

He shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "No, it's impossible! The staff must have failed to lock the door properly!"

Zhang Maocai shook his head and closed the lock again with a click.

He said calmly: "Look carefully, I'll open it again."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone to respond, he once again inserted the two wires into the keyhole at the same time.

This time it took faster. After five or six seconds, with a click, the lock core was opened.

The foreigner's body swayed suddenly and he almost fell to the ground.

This set of locks is a high-end product developed by their company with huge investment and a lot of time!

They also hope to open up the global market with this lock and sell it for a good price!

I never expected that a small, dull middle-aged man like Chaojiang could open a lock like a toy...

Zhang Maocai put the wire back into the tool bag and said, "You must admit defeat and apologize."

"Well done!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and all the audience began to cheer for Zhang Maocai.

Mr. Guo, who was known as the Chaojiang Lock King, stared at Zhang Maocai and said, "It's amazing! I have studied locks for my whole life and thought I was an expert, but I didn't expect that I was still far from being a true master! I won't dare mention the Chaojiang Lock King again!"

The foreigner looked at Zhang Maocai, then at the audience, took a deep breath, and bowed three times respectfully: "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't look down on the Chinese. You are all the smartest and most intelligent. The locks we produce are nothing!"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Unexpectedly, after the foreigner apologized, he suddenly said loudly: "I don't accept it. It's okay to apologize for losing, but I don't believe that this gentleman can ignore all the high-end products of our company!"

What?

He's still not convinced?

The audience immediately started to sneer and say all sorts of things, not a single nice word.

The foreigner has already made up his mind. In order to save face and promote the company's products, he must show his attitude.

The foreigner said to Zhang Maocai, "Sir, I admit that your technology is the best I have ever seen, but our company also has a set of locks that are specially used to store priceless jewelry and gold bars. The combination lock of the safe... Do you dare to try to crack it without violence?"

Zhang Maocai said calmly: "Why not? I just think your company's products are boring. Since you have more powerful locks, why not take them out and show them to everyone."

The foreigner nodded and said, "Okay, you said it yourself. Our company's security lock is customized for Swiss Bank. It has an S-level security rating and is the most advanced small combination lock in the world."

"Stop talking too much." Zhang Maocai said with a cold face, seeming a little impatient.

The foreigner said, "We didn't bring that kind of locks to the exhibition this time. Please wait for two days. I will contact the company and ask them to use air logistics to airfreight the locks to Chaojiang City. The day after tomorrow, we will continue the lock-picking competition at the same time and place. Do you dare?"

Zhang Maocai said, "Okay."

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and everyone praised him for being great.

Zhao Qiuwei also seemed to be interested in this competition.

"Secretary Liu, you win this time. When you have time, come to our Song Village. I will treat you to a glass of Dongfanghong."

Liu Fusheng laughed: "Okay, it's a deal."

Zhao Qiuwei said: "I am also a little interested in the lock-opening activity the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Secretary Liu has time. Let's come and take a look?"

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "Isn't that necessary? I believe that the gentleman on the stage will not disappoint the people of Chaojiang. The result is already determined, so why bother watching the process?"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the field.

Zhao Qiuwei smiled and followed Liu Fusheng to leave the exhibition.

……

That night, Liu Fusheng came to the hardware store and met Zhang Maocai and Shi Xingyu again.

"Brother Zhang is really amazing. Today I was really amazed. In just 20 seconds, he performed amazing skills!"

Zhang Maocai laughed and said, "I'm ashamed. When the audience called my number, I was a little dazed. I didn't expect that unlocking a lock could bring glory to the country and win applause."

Liu Fusheng could tell from Zhang Maocai's words that he was still upset about having been imprisoned.

He smiled and said, "If it weren't for what happened before, we wouldn't have met each other, and Mr. Lu Chengfang wouldn't have been able to trace his ancestry. The poor people in Xiushan County wouldn't have had the chance to change their fate and live a well-off life. It can be said that everything is predetermined. The detour you took has benefited hundreds of thousands of people."

Zhang Maocai said with emotion: "Secretary Liu's speech is really good. No wonder you can become the top leader of Chaojiang District!"

"When you first stepped into my house and chatted with my mother, I thought my life was completely over, but I didn't expect that you would be the greatest benefactor in my life."

Liu Fusheng exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then changed the subject and asked, "Are you sure you can open the lock the day after tomorrow?"

Zhang Maocai said: "Yes. Small and medium-sized safes are limited by their size and cannot have very high technical content. Unless it is a giant combination lock like the one used by the US Central Bank, I am confident that I can crack it."

His words were full of confidence, the undisguised pride of a professional in his profession.

Liu Fusheng laughed: "I feel relieved when Brother Zhang said that. I have a lot of things to do here, so I won't go to the scene to cheer you on."

Zhang Maocai said, "If you don't come, I'll lose some interest."

Liu Fusheng said, "I can't help it. I have to act the whole part. I'm afraid that people who are careful and thoughtful will be afraid of you and dare not show their faces easily."

Zhang Maocai sighed, "Secretary Liu is really thoughtful... When I left the scene, the Chaojiang Lock King invited me to his home and said he wanted to talk to me about something."

Mr. Guo already regarded Zhang Maocai as a master and even expressed his desire to learn some skills from him.

In order to solve the case, Zhang Maocai promised Mr. Guo that he would go to his house for a visit after opening the safe.

Liu Fusheng could naturally understand what he meant: "Brother Zhang, you are thoughtful. Mr. Guo is known as the best locksmith in Chaojiang. Those who stole the safe will most likely visit him if they want to open the lock. Maybe you can really get what we want from him."

Zhang Maocai smiled and said, "I will ask him about this. Besides, Mr. Guo is very proficient in the traditional lock art of ancient my country, which happens to be what I lack. I think we can both gain something from exchanging lock art."
