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

Chapter 293 Gathering Personnel, Assembling Fanfan's Repair Shop
Two days later, Yu Dawei returned to Fanfan Repair Shop and briefly explained some matters concerning the Eighth Bureau Equipment Factory to Lao Ji and Yao Jinfu.

When Lao Ji learned that the second team of the equipment factory had been laid off, he felt a mix of emotions. He never expected that such a stable job would be lost. At the same time, he was also glad that he had chosen to stay by Boss Yu's side, which was at least the right choice for now.

Besides explaining the matters to the equipment factory personnel, Yu Dawei briefly recounted the maintenance and repair of the nine engineering machines belonging to the Eighth Bureau.

After returning, Yu Dawei began to think about how to maintain the Eighth Bureau's "breeding Gu" plan and make himself the biggest Gu worm.

After much thought, the most efficient method is to differentiate management.

In fact, this model was based on the previous equipment factory employee management method. The person in charge of maintenance at Fanfan Repair Shop is definitely Lao Ji.

Lao Ji's position is the battalion commander, and under the battalion commander, there are various maintenance departments, such as the "Rescue Department" which is specifically responsible for field rescue, and the "Maintenance Department" which is specifically responsible for coordinating the maintenance and repair of the Eighth Bureau's mechanical equipment.

Old Ji, on the other hand, needs to take on the additional task of personnel allocation.

For example, there are not many field rescues in the summer, so the "Rescue Department" does not need too many maintenance personnel. For another example, when the Eighth Bureau project starts, if any construction machinery breaks down, the one or two maintenance personnel on weekdays will definitely not be enough, and Lao Ji will need to re-coordinate maintenance personnel.

After Yu Dawei put forward his ideas, he wanted Lao Ji and Fu Zi to give them their advice. Although he was the boss, he was not an expert who could see everything. He was just an ordinary person, and many things needed to be carefully considered.

Based on his years of experience in factory management, Lao Ji offered some optimization suggestions.

For example, regarding the maintenance of equipment from the Eighth Bureau, there is currently no need to establish a maintenance department. If there is any need for maintenance or repair, the factory staff will handle matters related to the Eighth Bureau as soon as possible.

If one day Fanfan Repair Shop opens up other city locations, the repairmen in the shop can be dispatched to the new city locations to carry out repairs.

Lao Ji made this suggestion for two reasons: firstly, to optimize staff work efficiency, and secondly, to encourage experienced staff to mentor new ones while repairing cars.

Based on this trend, Lao Ji is almost 100% certain that Fanfan Repair Shop will need to recruit new employees in the future, which means that they will need to be taught and trained.

Whether it was Lao Ji himself or the Second Maintenance Team of the Eighth Bureau, they all had extensive experience in maintaining the Eighth Bureau's equipment. When they worked together, they were actually teaching newcomers how to maintain the Eighth Bureau's vehicles.

Old Ji had a clear idea in his mind, but when he spoke it, it was somewhat incoherent.

However, Yu Dawei could understand the line of thought he was putting forward. If this matter were compared to playing a game, Fanfan's repair shop would be like the Zerg hive in the game.

Over time, the mother hive will continuously create large Zerg armies with the same vehicle repair skills, which will eventually go to various cities to conquer all directions.

It must be said that Lao Ji's idea was forward-thinking. If they were to cooperate with the Eighth Bureau and finish at the bottom, that would be fine. But if they were to finish at the top, then this strategy could perfectly take over the other city points.

After all, the men under his command were all repairmen who had worked in the Eighth Bureau.

Ultimately, Yu Dawei made the final decision, and Fanfan Repair Shop now has two departments: a "Wilderness Rescue Department" and a "Basic Repair Department".

The Wilderness Rescue Department, as the name suggests, is definitely engaged in wilderness rescue.

Currently, two people are tentatively selected.

In addition to field rescues, when there are no rescue vehicles available, these two individuals will return to work in the basic maintenance department, where the team leader, Ji Youde, will be responsible for arranging basic maintenance work.

The maintenance and personnel planning for Fanfan Repair Shop will be put on hold for now. Yu Dawei plans to try this approach for a while and then make minor adjustments if it doesn't work.

After that, it's up to him to maintain his own vehicles. Currently, he has two excavator drivers: Yao Jinfu and Huang Man.

Since the earliest project wouldn't start until March, with about two weeks to go, Yu Dawei specifically called Huang Man, asking her to stay home a little longer and spend more time with her mother.

But Huang Man sounded very anxious on the other end of the phone, and even told him that he had already bought the train tickets.

Yu Dawei calculated that Huang Man would be able to arrive at the factory today.

Axe and Huang Man have arrived, but the driver for the road roller is still nowhere to be found.

Old Ji has interviewed many people these past few days, most of whom are from the village. As soon as they heard that Fanfan Repair Shop was hiring, they rushed over, eager to become apprentices.

But he had no foundation at all, and after getting to know some people, Lao Ji found that most of them were young people who were just loafing around in the village, so he lost all interest in recruiting.

He even considered tearing down the job postings outside, since his original colleagues were arriving soon and, for now, they seemed to be able to handle most routine repairs.

As for the road roller operator, Lao Ji simply couldn't imagine that such a small town could have such an operator, especially one who operated a double-drum roller. However, Boss Yu instructed that they shouldn't accept the notices yet, but rather try their luck, just in case they actually encountered one.

Old Ji didn't want to expose Yu Dawei's fantasies about the driver, so he let the red paper outside sway in the wind.

"Beep beep!" A black Volkswagen suddenly drove in from outside the gate and stopped next to an SUV on the right side of the yard.

Yu Dawei was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with a notebook and pen, writing and drawing whenever he thought of something.

Nearby, Lao Ji, Fu Zi, and the five repairmen from the second team were all busy at their respective cars or construction vehicles.

For example, the excavator is operated by two people per team, while the car is handled by one person. These are all arranged by Lao Ji, and Yu Dawei doesn't interfere at all, giving Lao Ji enough freedom to manage.

Yu Dawei was startled by the two "beep" sounds. Just as he was about to berate the driver, he turned his head and saw Xiaobai, who was holding the steering wheel with both hands and looking at him with a mocking expression.

"Brother Dawei!" A burly young man got out of the black Volkswagen and waved excitedly at Yu Dawei.

"Manzi, tsk tsk, you've gotten fatter since I last saw you." Yu Dawei smiled, and Lao Ji, Yao Jinfu, and the others in the distance also stopped what they were doing and walked over.

Yao Jinfu wanted to greet Huang Man, since Huang Man was practically his apprentice, and Yao Jinfu had personally taught him many excavator operating skills.

The feeling of being so disappointed in him back then, almost kicking him under the car, still gets me emotional sometimes when I think about it now.

Fortunately, Huang Man is a hard worker. Once he sets his mind on something, he will do everything in his power to do it well.

This spirit moved Yao Jinfu, who then passed on all his excavator operating skills and insights to the young man.

As for Lao Ji and his group, the reason they came over was because they saw their former leader, Bai Zhongsheng, getting off the bus.

Whether it's the second team or Lao Ji himself, they all owe a debt of gratitude to Director Bai for having a stable, well-paid job.

"Director Bai!" Old Ji said with a bright smile before he even got close, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. You've become more and more handsome. If any girl marries you, she'll be blessed with good fortune. Alas, it's a pity I'm not a woman, otherwise I would definitely miss Director Bai's handsome face every day and be unable to sleep at night."

Xiao Bai gave Lao Ji a disgusted look: "Stop trying to disgust me. Go and disgust your boss, Mr. Yu, instead."

Since Xiaobai helped Lao Ji find a good job, the subtle distance between the two seemed to have disappeared.

"Tsk tsk, I must say, even women would be jealous of Xiao Bai's snow-white skin. My wife would be jealous too." Yu Dawei stroked his stubble, his admiring gaze sweeping over Xiao Bai's body.

Bai Zhongsheng felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this!
"Alright, alright, since you're so unwelcoming, I'm leaving. I was thinking of seeing if I should invest in Fanfan's Repair Shop or something..." Xiaobai turned around and opened the car door, indicating that she couldn't stay in this place for another second.

"Hey, hey, hey! Look at you, why are you arguing with us roughnecks?" Yu Dawei became interested as soon as he heard "investment," and quickly ran to Xiaobai's side, grabbing the other's thin arm. "Speaking of investment, I just came up with a rough idea."

"Investment? What investment?" Xiao Bai tilted his head and looked at Yu Dawei, his eyes full of innocence. What did what Bai Zhongsheng said have to do with Xiao Bai now?

Yu Dawei: "..."

On the other side, Huang Man walked up to Yao Jinfu and burst into tears, saying, "Brother Fu, you have no idea what I went through during the New Year! I almost didn't make it back... Waaah, those women, those women... they were so cruel!"

woman? !
Everyone at Fanfan Repair Shop stopped what they were doing, their ears perked up, sensing that they might be about to hear some big gossip.

To avoid wasting a great melon, Yu Dawei arranged lunch in advance.

A large iron stove was set up outside, firewood was lit, and a large iron pot was placed on top. The usual dish of sauerkraut stewed with blood sausage, plus half a pork knuckle.

Place a lid on top, fill it with frozen bean buns, and add some frozen steamed buns as well.

Afterwards, Yu Dawei prepared several more dishes to go with the drinks: scrambled eggs with scallions, fried peanuts, stir-fried vermicelli with minced meat, and stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar...

With Boss Yu personally cooking, there must have been someone diligently assisting him, so the meal was prepared quickly.

Before long, the small kang mat was surrounded by people. The octagonal table, which used to be spacious enough for everyone, now seemed a bit crowded.
