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

Chapter 388 A certain person suddenly came to mind
“My sister’s surgery was very successful, and she’s recovering quite well. But this girl can’t stay still, and my father is giving me a hard time. He insists on arranging for her to come to the factory.” Yu Dawei leaned on the table with his right hand, looking at the two people opposite him with a worried expression. “You two help me think about what this girl can do if she comes to the factory.”

"Ideally, I could be like everyone else, not relying on a fixed salary, but earning more based on my abilities," Yu Dawei added.

Yu Feng's purpose in looking for a job was naturally to pay back her older brother as soon as possible, so she could definitely do things like cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning dishes.

But you'll only get a fixed salary; there's no way you'll get a commission for washing a certain number of chopsticks or bowls.

The only commission-based jobs at the factory are car repairs and car sales. Selling cars might work in the future, but right now Yu Dawei doesn't have the money for that, and Dafeng can't stay at home forever.

Last night, he and his wife discussed it in the front yard, but they couldn't figure it out.

"Why don't we have her come with us to fix cars? She specializes in repairing small cars and such, at least that would be easier to handle." Taozi sat cross-legged on the kang again, and the first thing that came to his mind was car repair.

Otherwise, what can you do at a repair shop? Keep accounts? The problem is, I've never seen anyone get a commission for keeping accounts; it seems like you can't get a commission at all.

Across from him, Yu Dawei frowned upon hearing this. He had considered it, but Dafeng had undergone surgery and it wasn't good for her to do any heavy work. If something happened to her, then the trip to Kyoto would have been for nothing.

“Boss, I have an idea.” Old Ji tilted his head back and pondered for a few seconds before turning to Yu Dawei and saying, “If you ask me, we should just hand over our factory’s parts business to your sister.”

Taozi glanced at the captain and thought, "Good heavens, you just mentioned that the price of parts has gone up, and you're already trying to shift the blame to someone else."

This is some serious scheming; the abacus beads are practically about to hit the boss's face.

Yu Dawei's lips twitched, feeling somewhat helpless towards Lao Ji. Why did this guy start backing down when faced with a problem?

"You guys, don't look at me like that. I didn't mean to get rid of this burden. It's just based on the actual situation of our factory." Old Ji quickly tried to explain himself when he saw the two looking at him with all sorts of prejudiced eyes. "Boss, you see, all the business in our repair shop now relies on physical labor to make money, right?"

"For wilderness rescue, you have to drive there and then get your car repaired. If you're doing maintenance or repairs at a factory, you still have to get your car repaired. Then there's the issue of your boss maintaining your car. Even if you don't have to repair your car, as a driver, you still have to sit in a seat and work every day, enduring more than ten hours of hardship."

Old Ji spread his hands and said, "Honestly, there's nothing that's suitable for a girl to do."

"But the job of selling parts is different. She only needs to sell and collect money. If the parts are too heavy, any man in the yard can help. So she doesn't need to do any physical labor. At most, she just needs to tidy up the house."

"Moreover, she can also earn commission on parts. If she wants, she can market them herself, or get more agricultural machinery parts and car parts to sell. This will not only generate revenue for the factory, but she can also earn more and more money herself."

As Lao Ji spoke, his thoughts became clearer and clearer. What was just one idea a moment ago had now become a whole host of other things.

"Also, the factory's accounts can be handled by our younger sister. You know how I used to handle the accounts; I was too busy to be very detailed, and my handwriting was all crooked. I only remember the general income and expenditure."

"If we hand it over to my younger sister, at least the accounting records can be more detailed and standardized."

After Lao Ji finished speaking, he thought for a moment, having said almost everything in his mind, and now he wanted to see what the boss thought.

Actually, he was really tired of keeping accounts. Of course, he also had his own selfish reasons for dumping spare parts, and he really didn't want to deal with it anymore.

After all, he couldn't say whether the issue of increased parts prices could be resolved smoothly.

He could naturally see that if the parts issue were easy to resolve, why would Boss Liang have dragged it out for so long?
"That's an idea," Yu Dawei said, tapping the table on the kang (a heated brick bed) lightly with his right ring finger, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"You guys go ahead and get busy, I'll think about it some more."

As Yu Dawei watched the two leave the house, he began to lean towards Lao Ji's idea.

In his past life, he knew many female business owners who sold spare parts, especially after his divorce in Hohhot, some of whom even flirted with him.

It is undeniable that women are just as good as men at selling spare parts, and there are even quite a few who support their entire families with just a spare parts store.

Although Luhe Town is just a small town, the scale of the business depends on how it's managed. If Fanfan's repair shop grows bigger, the parts department will naturally earn more, and his younger sister won't need to show her face in public anymore.

But all of this depends on one prerequisite: solving the current cost problem of these parts.

"Looks like I'll have to see Boss Liang." Yu Dawei turned his head to glance out the window, then put on his shoes and left the house. ————

In the afternoon, when the factory workers started their work, Yu Dawei drove to Hongwei Parts Store to find Boss Liang.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I saw a blue three-wheeled farm vehicle parked there, next to Boss Liang's old pickup truck.

The farm vehicle belongs to Duan Dahai, which means Brother Duan is also here.

"Goodness, are these two so free? They're always together." Yu Dawei parked his car on the other side of the pickup truck, opened the door, and muttered to himself.

After the door opened, I saw two people sitting and chatting on the right side of the parts store. In the middle was an old wooden table with a red telephone, a few books, notebooks, pens, and cigarette boxes scattered on it.

When Yu Dawei came in, both of them looked up at the door.

"Oh my god! You're finally back! I was just about to call you." When Boss Liang saw Yu Dawei, he hurriedly got up and pulled out a round stool from behind the wall. "Come and sit down. Has your husband, Lao Ji, told you about that part?"

"Brother Duan." Yu Dawei nodded to Brother Duan before sitting down. "I told you, so I rushed over here right after arriving at the factory. What's going on?"

“Sigh, you know I’ve always worked with the head of a trading company in the oil city. Originally, the prices of auto parts and construction machinery parts hadn’t gone up, but after a while, they suddenly raised the prices for me after they got a new manager.” Boss Liang turned his head and glanced at the time. “It’s 1:30. There’s not much of a crowd here. Let’s go to the backyard and talk in detail.”

As he stood up, Boss Liang patted Yu Dawei on the shoulder: "To be honest, we both share responsibility for this."

Yu Dawei also stood up, feeling a bit confused by what Boss Liang said.

"You two chat, I still have work to do this afternoon. I'll buy some food and come here to eat tonight." Duan Dahai smiled at Yu Dawei. "After this kid cleaned up the backyard, he specially replaced the stove. Lately, we've been eating here with him."

"Alright, Brother Duan, you don't need to buy too much stuff. Don't forget to bring some peanuts over; I'll cook them tonight." Yu Dawei waved to Duan Dahai as he opened the door to leave.

"Let's go, let's discuss how to resolve this." Boss Liang sighed.

"That's not right. Before we came out, Lao Ji told me that you promised him you could resolve it in a day or two." Yu Dawei's surprise deepened, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

"It was true at first, but after I found out some things, it's not anymore." Boss Liang waved to signal someone to follow.

The two then went to the backyard of Mr. Liang's parts store, each sat down on a chair, and made some Tieguanyin tea.

"The new manager of Northern Trading is surnamed Qin, and she's a woman." Boss Liang moved the small coffee table under the window over and placed it between the two of them.

"What does it matter to me whether she's male or female? Since my customers are saying the parts are overpriced, it means the wholesale price she's offering us is higher than other channels." Yu Dawei leaned back in his red wooden chair, looking up at Boss Liang. "It's simple. Just tell her either to offer the market wholesale price, or we'll get the parts from other channels. Is it really that complicated?"

"First of all, Northern Trade is a very large distribution channel company, so large that it has a presence in every city in Heilongjiang Province. Of course, this does not mean that they have a monopoly, but they are still one of the big players in this parts industry. Everyone in the industry, whether openly or secretly, has to give them some face." Boss Liang poured the water from the teapot into two large cups, placing one cup in front of each person on their respective tables.

"I still don't understand. The other side is doing something big, but what does that have to do with us? Why would they care about small fry like us?" Yu Dawei picked up his teacup and frowned even more deeply, almost forming a "川" shape.

"That woman's name is Qin Yourong. Do you really have no recollection of her at all?" Seeing the increasingly bewildered look on the other person's face, Boss Liang shook his head and gave a bitter laugh.

"Do I need to remember her? Who is she? Where have I seen her before, or do I have some kind of grudge against her?" Yu Dawei took a sip of tea, put the cup on the coffee table, and crossed his legs.

"Last year, at the department store, you were picking out gold for your wife... There was a female shop assistant named Qin Yourong, and my friend fired her in the end." Boss Liang sat down and gave Yu Dawei a brief reminder.

Yu Dawei stared at Boss Liang, his eyes wide, and almost instantly he thought of that woman.

Short hair, not tall, and exceptionally good at assessing situations.

When he and his wife went to the jewelry store, they were initially served. However, on their second visit, it seemed that the store staff noticed they weren't interested in buying anything and deliberately left them waiting at the door.

“It’s her…” Yu Dawei’s wide eyes slowly narrowed until they were just slits.
