Chapter 126 Do You Know How to Cover Up Your Past?
Average monthly income of 100,000?
I'm afraid that one boss gets 99, and the remaining nine employees have to share 1, right?

Fortunately, Zhang Yang was not here to work, otherwise he could have exposed them by just recording a sound.

"Money is not a problem. When you see my craftsmanship, you will know that 10 is nothing to me."

“All I needed was a reliable platform.”

Zhang Yang crossed his arms and pretended to be an expert.

But I don’t know why, I always feel that the man named Lao Zhong can’t help but want to laugh.

"This old man has no respect for others!" Zhang Yang said in his heart.

After separating from Wu Bai, Zhang Yang followed Lao Zhong and climbed the stairs to the second floor of the factory.

Boss Song’s “laboratory” is here.

Don’t underestimate it because it is affiliated with a company. It makes a lot of money and its scale is not small.

According to Lao Zhong, half of the area on this floor belongs to them.

It is divided into office area and production area.

There was nothing much to say about the office area. Zhang Yang walked around and saw that all the workstations were salespeople who were making phone calls to defraud people out of money.

The production area is much more advanced.

There are a lot of semi-automatic equipment inside, and a newly purchased CNC electric kiln.

It is said that this electric kiln can not only accurately control the temperature curve during firing, but also detect the air atmosphere inside the kiln, and the success rate of firing Jianzhan is very high.

The Jianzhan teapots that you buy on the market for three pieces for 20 yuan are fired in this kind of electric kiln.

After the visit, Zhang Yang decided to try one himself when he got back.

Feel the convenience of high technology.

However, these devices are already the entire content of this laboratory, which is close to a modern factory.

The rest, whether it was the workbenches or the employees, were no different from the production photos of porcelain factories that Zhang Yang had seen in the last century.

In addition to the young people who do odd jobs, they are the "oxen and horses" that Wu Bai calls the ones who do the dirty and hard work.

The remaining skilled craftsmen are basically former employees of various porcelain factories in nearby counties and cities.

After retiring or being laid off, he was invited by Boss Song.

These people had a strong working-class vibe. When they heard that Zhang Yang was applying for the position of "craftsman master", they stopped what they were doing and gathered around him.

It seems to express welcome to newcomers.

In fact, they just gathered around, looked Zhang Yang up and down, and discussed among themselves.

"Is this considered an interview?" Zhang Yang asked Lao Zhong beside him.

If not, he wouldn't really like being surrounded by a group of old glass workers.

"Well, they'll ask you some questions before they do anything."

"Our materials also cost money. If you don't have any skills, there's no point in doing it."

Lao Zhong's explanation sounded very reasonable to Zhang Yang.

You can tell from what you hear that they have suffered similar losses before.

Zhang Yang stood there quietly, waiting for the masters to ask questions.

Soon, the old man with the brightest head stood up:

"Young man, what kind of kiln did you burn before?"

“It’s mainly wood-fired kilns.”

"Are you still using wood kilns? Where are you from? Isn't it banned there?"

"Why should wood-fired kilns be banned?" Zhang Yang asked back.

"Um???"

The old masters who were watching all expressed doubts.

Among them, an old man with hair like the roots of an old tree came out and asked:

"Where you used to work, is there any intangible cultural heritage? Can you just burn pine wood?"

"No... Wait a minute, the wood kiln you are talking about is not the same as the electric kiln, right?"

"Yes." An old man responded.

Someone with quick thinking immediately understood what Zhang Yang meant:
"You mean to say that the porcelain you fired in the Chai Kiln is the kind used by Emperor Chai Rong of Zhou during the Five Dynasties. The legendary best porcelain in the world?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yang nodded.

Before coming, he had thought about it and realized that since it was a counterfeiting gang, most of the people there were probably not good people.

There is no need to talk about martial ethics.

Just use the gimmick to the fullest.

Yongzheng famille rose, Yuan blue and white, Ru porcelain, all take a back seat in front of the [most beautiful porcelain in the world] Chai kiln.

"What's wrong? Porcelain that's so profitable, don't you have anyone to make it?"

"No way? No way?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.

"Who is going to burn this thing..."

"Yes, yes. It's hard to say whether there is a genuine one in the world."

"To be honest, it's not hard to make this thing, but it's harder to sell it."

"Now I know why you are going to jail." Lao Zhong turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yang.

The wood-fired kiln is a pure hoax, and is almost a conceptual god in the world of porcelain.

"Xiao Zhang, maybe you came to the wrong place? We actually have a sales department..."

"What do you mean, don't you believe it?"

"Then I'll burn it and show you."

Zhang Yang rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action at any time.

But Lao Zhong stopped him with his hand:

"No, even if you burn it, we won't understand it."

"That's right." An old man echoed, "We are the ones testing you now, don't test us in return!"

"Then tell me what you want to test me on. "

Zhang Yang spread his hands, greatness needs no words.

Several old guys looked at each other and set their sights on the old guy with a shiny bald head.

The old man coughed twice, stood up and said:

"Young man, will you take over the old one?"

The so-called connecting the old bottom is to knock off a part of the bottom of a newly imitated porcelain, and then stick the bottom of the old porcelain on.

This allows it to pass thermoluminescence detection perfectly.

Because the location for thermoluminescence sampling is generally chosen at the bottom of the porcelain to avoid damage to the object itself.

But these tricks have been played for many years, there are no secrets now!
Using this to test people is considered to be an examination of Zhang Yang's basic skills?

"You look down on me, don't you? It's just a matter of gluing it together, how can you not be able to do it?" Zhang Yang's tone and attitude were a bit arrogant.

A person who can burn a wood kiln must have this confidence, otherwise it would seem too fake.

"Don't just talk big. You have to show us how good you are."

"Yes, we don't use wood-fired kilns here, and we are not allowed to sell porcelain before the Yuan Dynasty. We only make Ming and Qing porcelain, so if you want to stay, you can only do the work of taking over the foundation."

"Young man, you should calm down a little."

"They are right." Lao Zhong patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder and pointed to the workbench next to him.

"If you want to try it."

"There are still three hours left before the end of the shift. If you can handle one thing and there are less than five problems pointed out, I will let you join the company on the spot."

"No problem." This is what Zhang Yang was waiting for.

Walked straight to the workbench.

The vessel assigned to him was a blue-and-white celestial globe vase, which had a gleaming sheen on the outside and was clearly newly made.

The bottom to be connected is the bottom foot of a folk kiln porcelain bowl from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.

Normally, the bottom of a bowl is shallower than that of a bottle, and if they are put together, the filling will easily come out.

An expert like Teacher Fan can see it at a glance.

But Boss Song’s target customer is obviously not Fan Haiyang.

It is used to deceive those leeks who say, "I have one piece from the Forbidden City, and I don't have two pieces from the Forbidden City."

Even in this situation, they are still willing to take the risk and issue a thermoluminescence certificate. They are truly the conscience of the industry.

After Zhang Yang got the item, he first repaired the bottom of the authentic item.

Later, the base foot needs to be completely glued to the bottom of the celestial globe vase, making it as seamless as possible with the object. A little more or less will cause problems, so there can be no room for carelessness.

While Zhang Yang was working, other masters made full use of the advanced experience they learned from MediaTek:

"One core works, many cores watch."

They all gathered around Zhang Yang.

The most tasteless person should be the bald old man. It seemed that because Zhang Yang used his base and glue, he kept pointing fingers at him.

Zhang Yang stuck around for an hour and a half. The old man drank two bottles of water and kept talking from beginning to end.

Under his "careful guidance", a celestial globe vase with a connected bottom soon appeared in front of everyone.

"Masters, please help me find the flaws!"

Old Zhong stood up, clapped his hands and said:
"Don't be picky. If you want to point out a problem, you must also provide a solution to the problem. Otherwise, don't say anything."

"Okay, let's get started!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but look up to Lao Zhong after hearing what he said.

He gave a thumbs up and said:
"Master Zhong is spot on!"

"Haha, don't worry, Xiao Zhang, we are all reasonable people."

"At your age, you are not in competition with us, so everyone will be neutral when evaluating you."

When Lao Zhong said these words, there was a smile on his face.

In his opinion, Zhang Yang's claim that he burned a wood kiln was basically a low-level scam designed to deceive the National Treasure Gang.

There is basically no difference between it and the old man's suit on the construction site, huanghuali wood, and the imperial seal.

The actual level may not be too high.

Real porcelain counterfeiters all make porcelain from the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, and their main goal is to make the fake look indistinguishable from the real thing.

What Lao Zhong was thinking in his mind was to comfort Zhang Yang in advance.

Otherwise, there will be too many questions later, which will easily overwhelm this young person.

After all, I have to pay you, so I have to be careful about my service attitude.

But soon, the smile on his face disappeared.

Because those who have seen Zhang Yang's works all stood aside, frowning and remaining silent.

If it's just one individual, it's fine.

But if more than a dozen experienced craftsmen can't seem to find any problems, then there's something wrong.

"Did everyone receive the money?"

Old Zhong thought to himself:
"Damn, I don't collect the least, do I?"

"Lao Geng." Lao Zhong called out the name directly and looked for the bald old man who had just been instructing Zhang Yang.

"Just talk, don't be depressed."

"I, I have no objection."

"???" Lao Zhong looked confused. "How can you not have an opinion? Didn't you just talk for more than an hour?"

"I just don't mind."

Old Geng muttered:

"You can't ask me to raise some problems that I can't solve myself, right?"

"Okay, what about Lao Zhuang?" Lao Zhong continued to ask.

"I don't have any objection either."

"Old Qiu?"

"Me too."

"..."

"Okay, okay." Lao Zhong smiled directly. He was now sure that everyone had received the money.

In that case, he decided to come in person.

Find some problems, otherwise it will be difficult to manage Zhang Yang in the future.

He walked forward and picked up the work that Zhang Yang had just finished.

It's not that difficult to analyze the old bottom, isn't it just to find that crack...

No, what about the seams?

Lao Zhong rubbed his eyes and stared closely at the junction of the body and glaze. His eyeballs were almost brought together, but he could not tell which were the natural dividing lines between the body and glaze and which were the seams.

After a while, he raised his head with a complicated expression:

"Xiao Zhang, you are pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, right?"

"With this level, have you been practicing since you were in your mother's womb?"

"Can I understand this as a compliment to me?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"Zhao! This kid is still acting cute!"

Bald Old Geng shouted angrily:
"I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to light some mosquito coils. Anyone want to join me?"

"Take me with you!" the remaining masters shouted in unison.
