In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 148 You want to buy a car?

But Kobelco excavators are different. The fan blades of these excavators are short and few in number. If the gaps are not made particularly precise, high temperatures are inevitable.

In addition, other temperature control components do not achieve the same level of compatibility as the original parts, so it is quite normal for the temperature to remain high.

Yu Dawei decided to modify the gap of the heat sink and make minor adjustments to the position of the counterweight on the fan blades, changing the original concave surface to a flat surface. After finishing the key components, the mini-van arrived from afar.

Zhang Shuangxi handed the original parts that had been removed earlier to Yu Dawei: "These are all. If you need a radiator, I can go to the junkyard to look for one."

"No need, the radiator problem has been fixed. I'll install the other parts next." Yu Dawei took the thermostat and other parts and started disassembling and installing them again.

During this process, there's not much anyone else can do but wait.

After about two or three hours, when the sun was almost at noon, Yu Dawei finally finished.

He climbed up from his lying position next to the engine, his right hand, covered in oil, instinctively wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. His once smooth face was now covered in streaks of black oil.

Actually, he hadn't lied to Duan Xiaowu before. The car repair business is really dirty and tiring. It's like a black lotus blooming with oil stains, which can only be admired from afar and not approached.

"How did it go?" Lin Ling asked hurriedly when he saw Yu Dawei come down, as he was getting impatient.

This was the first time he had waited for someone so calmly.

"That's about it, let's start it up and try it out." Yu Dawei said as he climbed back into the cab, started the excavator, and then let it idle normally.

About ten minutes later, Yu Dawei climbed back up to the top of the excavator and reached out to feel the temperature coming from inside the engine.

It's warm, but it's so much better than the scalding feeling it used to have.

Everyone else followed, especially Zhang Shuangxi, who felt it very clearly; the temperature had dropped significantly, and the heat wave was no longer there.

Yu Dawei crouched down and cautiously reached his hand near the fan vent to feel the airflow from the fan.

If the temperature couldn't rise before because the time was too short, Yu Dawei could clearly feel the cold air rushing into the engine from the exhaust vent, and the radiator was clearly performing its intended function.

"Done." Yu Dawei stood up and took a deep breath. A smell of oil and diesel fuel rushed into his nostrils, but he was already used to it. As he slowly exhaled, he finally said the two words that Boss Zhang wanted to hear most.

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Yu." Zhang Shuangxi was very excited, and even disregarded the other's oil-stained hands, he grabbed the other's hand tightly. "It's been two or three months. You don't know until you start taking care of a car. This thing is harder to take care of than a wife."

Yu Dawei smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth: "You'll get used to it. Nobody is born knowing everything."

"However, you should pay attention when using it in the future. The radiator seems fine now, but it can't withstand long-term use. If the high temperature persists, you can ask the driver to open the back cover, or simply make a few holes in the back cover." Yu Dawei patiently gave Zhang Ge advice.

Although he knew that Brother Zhang would eventually sell the Kobelco excavator.

That's how it was in my past life. Once, while drinking, I told myself that the thing I regretted most in my life was buying an excavator. I'm a person who strives for perfection, but I ended up with a machine that was never perfect. I really hated that excavator.

"I'm not going to keep it anymore! I'll sell it as soon as it's repaired. After this incident, I've realized that I'm only cut out to sell parts." Zhang Shuangxi said in a slightly hoarse and low voice, with a bitter smile on his face.

The others didn't say anything more, after all, it was Zhang Baiwan's own choice. However, Duan Dahai, standing to the side, noticed a flicker in his eyes when he heard Zhang Baiwan say that.

Because of Lin Ling's introduction, Zhang Shuangxi still gave Lin Ling the five thousand yuan commission according to the rules. However, when he gave it to her, Boss Zhang took out an extra thousand yuan, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Perhaps Zhang Shuangxi felt a connection with Yu Dawei, and since it was lunchtime, he offered to take Yu Dawei and the others, including Masters Song and Wang, to a restaurant for lunch.

After witnessing firsthand Yu Dawei's prowess, Master Song and Master Wang were too ashamed to stay any longer and quickly made up an excuse to leave.

However, the two learned a lot from this experience, especially from watching Yu Dawei repair and disassemble parts. His smooth and skillful movements really opened their eyes.

I also understand how important it is to maintain momentum and physical fitness during the repair process.

The two of them had a very fruitful trip.

The restaurant was located on the Convention and Exhibition Street, not far from Lin Ling's shop. The Northeastern cuisine was quite impressive, with huge plates piled high with food.

One serving of braised carp, one serving of braised eggplant, one serving of Northeastern-style cold noodles with cucumber, one serving of braised chicken with mushrooms, one serving of stir-fried pork intestines, one serving of stir-fried liver tips, and one serving of stir-fried potato shreds with tree peppers. This was what Yu Da ordered for himself; he always orders this dish when he goes to a restaurant.

His encounter with Zhang Shuangxi was a reunion of old friends, though the man before him certainly didn't remember him. After a few drinks, Zhang Shuangxi found himself increasingly compatible with this young man, Yu Dawei, and the things Yu Dawei said often resonated with him.

There were too many outsiders today, otherwise he would have definitely insisted that the other person stay in the oil city for one night before leaving.

As the atmosphere grew more and more harmonious, Duan Dahai took advantage of the moment when everyone was slightly excited to ask Zhang Shuangxi how much he planned to sell the car for.

With his years of business experience, Zhang Shuangxi, even slightly drunk, understood what the other party meant. He looked at the other party, his expression becoming slightly more serious: "Boss Duan, to be honest, this car was sold to me for 200,000 yuan."

Two hundred thousand. This Kobelco excavator isn't considered a large excavator, though it's certainly larger than Yu Dawei's wheeled excavator; it should be classified as a medium-sized excavator.

Yu Dawei didn't know the model of this car either. Most of the nameplate and paint on it had been worn away, and he could only tell that it was an older SK series model.

The other party was willing to give Zhang Shuangxi the car for 200,000 yuan, so Zhang Ge definitely didn't lose out by getting the car.

"I see..." Duan Dahai pondered for a moment, while secretly glancing at Yu Dawei.

Yu Dawei raised his glass, tilted his head back, and took a sip. His meaning was clear: this Kobelco excavator was worth 200,000 yuan.

"May I ask what model this car is?" Duan Dahai became interested in continuing the conversation.

“I think it’s an SK120, but I forgot the exact number of calibers. The integrated weight is 11.8 tons.” Seeing that the other party was interested in buying, Zhang Shuangxi took the initiative to say, “You’ve seen the situation of this truck. I see that you are also friends of Brother Xiao Yu. If you really want it, I can reduce the price by 200,000, making it 180,000.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Dahai was overwhelmed with emotion, but having been in the business for many years, he suppressed his unease and stood up to toast the other party: "Boss Zhang, I would like to express my gratitude to you first. More than 100,000 yuan is no small matter. I will discuss it with my wife when I get home today. I will give you an answer in two or three days whether or not we need a car."

"You're too kind. It's fate that we met. Even if the deal doesn't go through, we'll still be on good terms." Zhang Shuangxi stood up and returned the greeting.

The atmosphere didn't become awkward because of the excavator sale; on the contrary, it became more lively because of some conflicts of interest.

Lin Ling, a person with a proud and aloof personality, unusually started chatting with Yu Dawei, probably out of respect, and boasted about some of his impressive tools.

For example, certain brands of generators are small in size, have low vibration, and extremely low noise, completely surpassing current industrial standards.

For example, I plan to set up a tool factory and produce tools that are no less advanced than the blade series.

Anyway, Lin Ling, who is inherently arrogant, is not good at talking to people. Even when he does speak, he mostly tries to embellish himself in order to win the admiration and attention of others.

Perhaps anyone else would have ignored him long ago, but Yu Dawei did not.

Because he used to be such a self-centered person, especially relying on his amazing skills, he never took anyone seriously.

Therefore, he could understand how hard Boss Lin, who wanted to communicate with others, was trying to strike up a conversation with him, even if his approach was a bit clumsy.

After the meal, Zhang Baiwan, drunk, escorted everyone to the door. That Boss Duan was definitely a drunkard; he almost knocked him under the table.

After saying goodbye to Duan Dahai, he turned around, his face flushed, and tightly grasped Yu Dawei's hand, his expression revealing his reluctance: "Brother Yu, how should I put it after meeting you today... I won't go into details. My parts store is in Jiulongda, the oil city. If you need anything from me, just let me know."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang, I'll come to see you when I have time," Yu Dawei said with a smile.

"Alright! Then I won't keep you any longer. Until we meet again."

"Until we meet again." Yu Dawei nodded.
"Until we meet again, Mr. Zhang." Duan Dahai waved his hand.

A few minutes later, the group returned to Lingda Tool Shop. As soon as they entered, Lin Ling didn't waste any words and took out the blade series. After closing the gray toolbox, he handed it to Yu Dawei.

Yu Dawei took the toolbox with both hands, feeling extremely excited. This set of tools was priceless; as long as it wasn't lost, it was a tool that could be used for a lifetime.

“And this too.” Lin Ling took out another green toolbox from the shelf. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of silver sockets and a ratchet. “It’s also imported, from the American Riccard socket and ratchet series. The quality can’t compare to the Blade series, but it’s much better than the cheap brand I gave you before.”

"Thank you." Yu Dawei smiled at the other party and reached out to take the tools.

“You deserve it.” Lin Ling turned around and looked at the heavy-duty wrenches on the wall. “It’s a pity that there aren’t any really good heavy-duty wrenches. Here, I’ll give you a set of heavy-duty wrenches from the domestic brand Qianjin. Although it’s not a set, we still need to put together a heavy-duty socket, but the quality is still guaranteed.”

At this moment, Yu Dawei had to give the other party a thumbs up: "Boss, you're so generous!"
