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

Chapter 189 Leading the Way to the Excavator Market

The three men's eyes met Deng Zhijun's, and both sides fell silent for a moment.

Yu Dawei wanted to gauge the other party's attitude. Boss Liang wanted to speak, but after what had just happened, he subconsciously regarded Yu Dawei as a backer, so he dared not say anything rash.

"Hehehe." Deng Zhijun laughed.

"Hehehe." Yu Dawei was also laughing.

The two men approached with smiles, but there was a hint of wariness in their eyes. Deng Zhijun felt that although Yu Dawei was young, he was far more ruthless than the two men beside him.

Yu Dawei, because of what had just happened, felt that "Brother Jun'er" was definitely not a person, and he had to be on high alert, otherwise he would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den and would definitely die.

"Brother Dawei, you've got some nerve. Although a few of us have that kind of thing, you're the first to dare commit violence in the street." Deng Zhijun smiled and invited Yu Dawei and the other two to sit down again. "Aren't you afraid the authorities will come looking for you later?"

"Don't worry, Brother Jun. If those guys don't want to lose face and still want to stay in Yushui County, they'll have to clean up their mess themselves." Yu Dawei gave the other man a deep look, then smiled, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "I am a genuine victim. At most, I may have overreacted in self-defense. Anyway, I'm not worried at all."

Deng Zhijun's lips twitched. This guy was deliberately rubbing salt into his wounds. Had he figured something out?

To avoid arousing suspicion from the three men, he quickly began to deceive them, saying, "Brother Yu, what you say is true, but people here are cold-hearted. It's not uncommon for people to betray their brothers for personal gain. If the officials really come, you might find yourself in trouble."

Before Deng Zhijun could speak, he explained, "But don't worry, I made a phone call and took care of everything before you went upstairs. I guarantee you'll be able to buy the excavator you want and leave Yushui safely."

Duan Dahai, who had been silent all along, thought to himself, "Buying an excavator? They've already been dug into a hole as soon as they arrived in Yushui. It's a miracle they're not running away."

On the contrary, Yu Dawei looked at Deng Zhijun calmly and smiled at him: "Then we'll have to trouble you, Brother Jun. It's our good fortune to have met you."

"You're too kind, brother." Deng Zhijun felt that the time was about right. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he put down his teacup and said directly, "Well then, I think it's almost noon. I'll take you all to the restaurant we booked for lunch to calm your nerves. Afterwards, I'll take the three of you to the excavator market."

“No problem!” Yu Dawei said with a smile, extending his hand. “Brother Jun’er, thank you for your trouble.”

"Brother, it's nothing. I don't know why, but the moment I saw you, I felt an instant connection with you." Deng Zhijun warmly grasped Yu Dawei's hand, somewhat moved, and said, "You remind me of my long-lost younger brother."

"What else is there to say!" Yu Dawei gripped the other's hand tightly, his expression equally excited. "Big Brother!"

"Hey! Brother!" Deng Zhijun was not to be outdone, his emotions even stronger, but he couldn't pull his aching hand away no matter what he did.

"Pah! Disgusting!" Duan Dahai and Boss Liang thought to themselves at the same time.

The four then drove one after the other towards the large hotel in Yushui County.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Boss Liang finally couldn't help but ask Yu Dawei first, "Brother Dawei, if you two really suspect him, why are we still playing along with him? Wouldn't it be better to just run away? We can go to the excavator market ourselves; it's not like we don't understand excavators."

Yu Dawei rested his hands on the backs of the two seats in front of him, sighed, and said, "Brother Liang, just tell me if I put a piece of sweet and sour pork in your mouth, would you eat it or not?"

“If I put it all in my mouth, then I definitely…” Boss Liang fell silent before he could finish speaking.

It seems that now that the three of them have arrived in Yu Shui, they've become easy prey for others.

"It can't be that serious, can it?" Boss Liang was skeptical. After all, it was you, Dawei, who fired the shot, not them.

"In this society, it's always better to be careful than to make a big mistake." Duan Dahai sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the Santana in front of him. "I still trust Dawei's intuition."

“Now that things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you two anymore.” Yu Dawei bit his lip and pondered, “You should know that my wheeled excavator was assembled, right?”

“That’s right. You even told me that the previous car owner was ripped off when buying a car in the south, because many of the parts weren’t original.” Boss Liang was very clear about this matter, after all, Dawei’s parts were all bought from him.

“Then let me tell you, the place that guy bought the car was actually Yushui County. Not only that, he was also tricked into going there by a friend who found a friend in Yushui County.” Yu Dawei tapped the back of the chair with his index finger. “So I really suspect that the guy in front has something to do with my wheeled excavator.” “You mean to say that your wheeled excavator was actually resold to the previous owner by Brother Jun’er?” Boss Liang felt that this matter was too unbelievable, it was too much of a coincidence.

“It’s just a guess, not only that.” Yu Dawei pointed his index finger at the black Santana in front of him. “That car looks very familiar. The scratch on the back is exactly the same as the car of the antique dealer I told you about before.”

"Exactly the same?!" Duan Dahai turned around in surprise. "Could it be that the antique dealer is connected to him? The problem is, shouldn't this car have been impounded by the authorities? How could it be so easily retrieved? Does he have connections in our town?"

The first person Yu Dawei thought of was Officer Hao, but he knew that Officer Hao was definitely not that kind of person. Then he thought of the people in the town and county that his second uncle had mentioned.

"Whether there are people or not doesn't really matter to us. At most, he can redeem the car, but he definitely can't get the person out of the car." Yu Dawei sneered. "Of course, that's on the premise that the two people know each other."

"No, now that you've said that, I have a feeling that this Brother Jun is becoming more and more extraordinary." Boss Liang couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

It's so scary outside! He suddenly wanted to go home.

“That’s nothing. I’ve discovered another problem.” Yu Dawei curled his lips again. “I wonder if you noticed the pair of shoes next to the coat rack by the door when you went into the private room of the teahouse.”

Duan Dahai's eyes were deep, and he said with certainty, "Those shoes are either size 44 or 43. I'm not looking down on this Jun'er brother, but someone who is over 1.6 meters tall definitely can't wear such big shoes."

"Besides, I examined the other person's shoes several times just now, and the size is at most size 40. That's definitely an exaggeration," Duan Dahai added confidently.

He was a junk collector who dealt with tattered clothes and shoes all the time. Although he wasn't as professional as someone who sold clothes and shoes, he still had a good eye for sizes.

“That’s right! So I feel that something’s off about Brother Jun’er.” As Yu Dawei said this, he leaned against the back door, put his feet up on the back seat, and tapped the back of the seat with his fingertips.

There's one more thing he didn't mention: if Deng Zhijun really is related to his rotary excavator, then it means that Yu Shui has at least one complete industrial chain.

Within this industry chain, there are roles like Deng Zhijun, who is specifically responsible for recruiting people; roles like those responsible for local "reception"; roles like those who know how to repair and refurbish various construction machinery; and roles like those who recycle various scrapped construction vehicles...

It's hard to say how many people are involved, but if things aren't handled properly, Yu Dawei thinks that the three of them, who came with money, will definitely not have any money to go back. As for whether they can take a bunch of scrap metal with them when they leave, that depends entirely on the other party's mood.

"Dawei, what do we do next? We're in an unfamiliar place, this is too much of a disadvantage." Boss Liang was the first to panic. He didn't quite believe that Brother Jun was the kind of person they described, but the signs they had just heard did indicate that something was wrong with the other party.

Yu Dawei calmly analyzed: "Let's take it one step at a time. Don't forget we have our own equipment. The other side's goal is nothing more than to drain us dry. So, they will most likely take one of two approaches. First, they will make a fortune by selling assembled vehicles like my wheeled excavator."

"Secondly, we could use our local networks to start planning and jointly short our limited funds, but I think that's unrealistic," he added.

"Why?" This time, it was Duan Dahai who was puzzled.

“Think about it, we’re from a small town. Even if we’re rich, how much can we have? We’re not super-rich. In their eyes, we’re just making a pittance. Besides, we have something to protect ourselves. We’re definitely tough. As long as Deng Zhijun isn’t stupid, he’ll never do a losing business.” After analyzing the pros and cons, Yu Dawei added, “And in the end, he’s just a businessman. Profit is definitely what he values ​​most.”

After listening to Yu Dawei's analysis, Boss Liang and Duan Dahai felt much more at ease and remained silent for the rest of the journey.

After the four arrived at the Yushui Grand Hotel, Deng Zhijun began to show off his powerful connections and influence in Yushui County. The food was also extremely exquisite and elegant in appearance, with carved phoenixes and lions playing with colorful balls on the plates...

In any case, most of them are only for show and not for eating; the only edible ones are the few home-style dishes that are commonly ordered in restaurants.

Yu Dawei strongly suspects that this guy just hired a master sculptor, not a real chef.

After the meal, Deng Zhijun seemed unable to contain his anxiety and immediately led everyone to the excavator market in Yushui County.

The Yushui excavator market is located in the southeast of the county town, north of Changcheng South Street, not far from the county road, and surrounded by several large engineering equipment rental companies.
