Could it be that he was born to pick locks? No, his talent comes from his hard work.
His name is Zhang, 1965, and he was born in a remote mountain village in Lixian County, Changde City. His family was poor, so his parents gave him away as an adopted son. His adoptive parents divorced, and he followed his adoptive father. His adoptive father died of cancer, and he became an orphan at the age of 14. Live a lifeless life and become a monk under the persuasion of others. Because he often violated temple rules, he was kicked out of the temple by the master at the age of 2 1. He went to Changsha to work for a living. Two years later, I set up a stall to repair locks and match keys. That's the kind of person. Where did you get the talent?
When he was matching keys, he often met someone who had lost them and asked him if he could unlock them. He couldn't help it at that time, but he thought, now there are many security doors, so strong, it's really troublesome to lose the keys. It seems that this is a potential market.
He decided to learn the technique of unlocking.
It's easier said than learned. To master the unlocking technology, it is necessary to dissect the lock, understand its internal structure, analyze and compare it, and find out the rules. There are dozens of types of locks on the market, and each type has many models. It takes a lot of money and space to buy dozens of each kind. I can't get rid of my children and wolves. He made a cruel decision, rented a house of 20 square meters as a "lock research room" and bought many samples, with a total investment of nearly 65,438+10,000 yuan. He borrowed a lot of foreign debts for this.
He spends all his time studying locks. There are no Sundays and no holidays. Once, I stayed in my room for two days and two nights without going out. He was completely immersed in the kingdom of locks, and he designed and made dozens of unlocking tools himself.
His technology is becoming more and more mature. Eight years later, he finally became the king of unlocking. Any lock that is difficult to open will be as easy to open as a key in his hand.
One day, he went to Yuhuating police station to apply for a temporary residence permit. A policeman lost his drawer key and couldn't take out the case file. He was depressed. He let go of his hand and solved the urgent need. The police officer "pushed his luck" and thought that many residents who had lost their keys called 1 10 for help. Facing the situation that General Tie had no choice but to climb over the wall and break the window, he immediately talked to him. After understanding the situation, he was hired as an extra policeman of the Public Security Bureau to unlock the lock for 1 10, and was equipped with a mobile phone and a motorcycle marked "Unlock for 1 10".
Since then, he has stopped setting up stalls and wandered around the streets of Changsha all day by motorcycle. Although there is no salary and no subsidy, the fee charged to the customer is enough for him to eat and drink. Every time he unlocked the lock, he felt a warm current in his heart when he saw the frown and smile of the other party, which made him feel particularly gratified.
His motorcycle can also enjoy the treatment of a police car and run a red light in case of emergency. He is particularly proud of it.
By 2000, he had solved the trouble of losing keys for countless residents. His name also spread all over the streets of Changsha.
