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

Chapter 17 Yu Dawei's Family Fortune
The excavator stalled, and Xu Tianzhu excitedly jumped off the vehicle, crunching through the snow as he reached the base of the wall: "Master Yu, you're amazing! This vehicle not only works, but it's also much more powerful than before!"

"I'm so sorry for rudeness earlier." Xu Tianzhu thought of what he had said before starting the car and wished he could slap himself twice. "Can I have your phone number? I can contact you if there are any problems with the car in the future."

If this relationship sours, who will he turn to if his car breaks down again?

"No need for a phone call," Yu Dawei said calmly. "If there's nothing wrong, let's settle the repair costs."

Xu Tianzhu felt a little bitter. It was clear from this attitude that they didn't want to have much to do with him anymore.

Everyone stared at Yu Dawei in shock. They never expected that such a young man would be such a seasoned expert in solving all kinds of problems with excavators!

Xu Tianzhu paid the money, but a new problem arose: the tow truck driver refused to cooperate! A significant conflict erupted between the two parties once again.

Zhang Mazi and his apprentice slunk away.

The others were either excavator drivers or excavator owners.

Naturally, everyone knows how valuable a master mechanic who can repair imported excavators is in the excavator market.

They immediately dropped their mocking expressions and crowded around Yu Dawei, greeting him warmly.

Some of those who were too critical of Yu Dawei were too sensitive, so they went around to Duan Dahai, who had a good relationship with Yu Dawei.

Landfill owners, who were once disliked in recent years, have now become highly sought-after.

Yu Dawei naturally wouldn't keep a cold face; instead, he smiled憨憨地 and chatted with the people who gathered around him about the problems that usually occurred with the excavator, including some maintenance tips.

He did this partly to establish himself within this small circle and avoid any jealous disputes arising from projects colliding after the New Year.

Some operators who work with excavators on construction sites every day can even help keep an eye on the condition of their own excavators.

It's just a few skincare tips; he's not a miser.

Furthermore, he also wanted to earn some extra money before the New Year to supplement his family's income.

However, adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, Yu Dawei did not boast about his abilities or his superb car repair skills, and he never mentioned anything about himself throughout the entire process.

Instead, through these people, I learned a lot of things I didn't know in my previous life, such as the things about raising excavators in this town.

As darkness fell, the Komatsu 850 was towed away, but instead of to the oil city, it was taken to a construction site for work.

Xu Tianzhu gave the tow truck driver an extra 100 yuan, and only then did the two sides stop arguing.

"Brother, I never expected you to have this skill!" Duan Dahai held a bowl of white rice, his face full of envy and admiration. "To be honest, when you told Wang Shuo and me that you could fix cars, I just thought it was a joke. I guessed that at most you could only take them apart and put them back together."

"You've really opened my eyes today. By the way, how long did it take you to fix the car last night?" Duan Dahai couldn't help but ask, feeling restless and anxious.

"About... ten minutes." Yu Dawei took a bite of rice and then recalled.

"Ten minutes! One thousand yuan!" Duan Dahai's mouth dropped open in shock. When did car repair become so profitable?!

No! Let's rob them!
This is outrageous! These days, the average person only earns six or seven hundred yuan a month at most, and he made more in ten minutes than that person earns in over a month!

Yu Dawei chuckled sheepishly, said nothing more, and put a potato slice into his mouth with his chopsticks.

Actually, in his past life, when he was repairing cars in Africa, it only took him about ten minutes.

However, this kind of thing was too shocking to the world, and they were afraid that if word got out, the construction company would not fulfill the contract, so they dragged it out for three days.

"Dawei, do you take on apprentices? How about I let my good-for-nothing son drop out of school and become your car repairman?"

“Brother Duan, although car repair is a skill, studying is the way to go.” Yu Dawei sighed. “After repairing cars all my life, the cars will eventually belong to others. All I can keep is my overworked body.”

Yu Dawei spoke very sincerely. The human body is a treasure trove, but treasure troves can also be overdrawn. Many parts of an engineering vehicle weigh hundreds or even thousands of kilograms, and sometimes they have to be lifted by people.

Ultimately, he overtaxed his body, and in his old age, he couldn't even lift a bucket of water.

----

Time flies by, and the year is almost here.

During this period, Yu Dawei not only repaired his own car, but also helped the excavator owners in the rental market to check some of the difficult problems with their excavators.

Hou Wanqiang had also visited the scrap metal recycling station twice and introduced two excavator repair jobs to him.

However, these were not the same skillful tasks as the first time; instead, they were physically demanding tasks that required disassembly.

All things considered, Yu Dawei has earned more than two thousand yuan in the past month.

The money for this Hitachi excavator has finally been secured.

Yu Dawei made money and, without being stingy, treated Hou Wanqiang and Hao Jianqiang to a good meal.

I also treated Duan Dahai to two good meals.

After deducting all sorts of miscellaneous expenses, I still had more than 2,300 yuan left in my pocket.

He didn't touch a single penny of the money his mother gave him, planning to return it to her when he got back. It wasn't easy for a woman to save up some money through frugality.

Yu Dawei had already cleaned away all the cement that had covered the excavator, bit by bit.

I boiled many basins of hot water and wiped everything from the inside out, making it look clean.

This is considered the first cleaning. After replacing all the parts, a second cleaning will be done to truly complete the repair.

A couple of days ago, he treated Mr. Liang, the owner of the parts store, to a meal. Mr. Liang was also extremely shocked when he heard that he had actually bought an excavator.

After a few rounds of drinks, he finally agreed to help him get the parts, saying he could pay him later.

And the price is negotiable.

Actually, Boss Liang had his own ulterior motives. First, this kid is capable, and his words and actions are all fine; such a person has great potential and is worth befriending.

Secondly, and most importantly, he has always run an agricultural machinery parts business. In the past two years, one agricultural machinery parts store after another has opened in the town, and his original parts store no longer has any advantage. Therefore, he urgently needs to change direction.

So Mr. Liang turned his attention to the construction machinery market, planning to start by selling excavator parts.

He had previously smuggled some small parts for excavators, and the profits were decent, which gave him a lot of confidence.

The appearance of Yu Dawei gave him the urge to go all in.

In the future, Yu Dawei will be mingling in the town's excavator circle and will know some colleagues. Their vehicles are still old and dilapidated. If they do a good job, it will be a form of advertising for him.

He's taken the first step well, getting one foot in the excavator parts industry. He'll then go to the construction machinery parts stores in the city to learn from their experience. He believes that it won't be long before he's far ahead of the parts stores in his town!

"Is Dawei there?" Boss Liang's voice came from outside the recycling station courtyard.

The other party was driving a dilapidated pickup truck and slammed on the brakes, stopping in the middle of the yard.

"Hey, Brother Liang, the parts have arrived, right?" Yu Dawei came out of the plastic shed, looking at the wooden crates on the back of the pickup truck, unable to hide his excitement.
