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

Chapter 437: Car Viewing
Yu Dawei eventually contacted all the contacts he had copied down, and found that the only ones still selling were friends in the northern part of Qiqihar.

Now that the decision was made, Yu Dawei had no reason to hesitate. Before going to bed, he briefly talked to the two children and planned to prepare some tools and head straight to Qiqihar City the next morning.

Yu Dawei had never done anything like buying and selling excavators in his previous life, since he didn't have the money to buy and sell vehicles in his past life either.

However, he does know many individual business owners, that is, self-employed business owners.

One of them was a car repairman he was on good terms with, surnamed Zhang, whose home was in Manzhou City. Yu Dawei had met him in a past life when he repaired cars for him. Later, since they lived not far apart, he often went to Old Zhang's place for a free meal.

They gradually became familiar with each other.

Of course, the reason they later became even closer brothers was because Yu Da accidentally fell off the top of an excavator while repairing his car.

That time, I fell from a height of more than three meters. The most critical thing was that my lower back hit a metal block on the side, and I couldn't get out of bed for more than a month.

For more than a month, Lao Zhang had been taking care of him without uttering a single complaint.

At that time, Yu Dawei's company had already lost money for several years, his eldest son hadn't made a name for himself in Dingcheng, and his youngest son was in a private junior high school.

He didn't want to trouble his eldest son, so he didn't tell him about it. Old Zhang helped him all the way, and he even had to ask Old Zhang to help him go to the toilet.

As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, and Yu Dawei has never forgotten this brotherhood.

Moreover, Lao Zhang had a cushy job, and maintaining the car was a way for him to earn extra money for his child's studies abroad. After his child successfully went abroad, he and his wife went directly to Kunming.

Yu Dawei ultimately didn't have the chance to repay the other party, except to help diagnose the problem when the other party took back the excavator and to repair it when he had free time.

For an experienced person like him, this kind of thing can be done casually and is nothing special.

However, as the two spent more time together, he also learned some skills about parking cars from the other person.

For example, when buying back the excavator, you must agree on the terms, whether it is the value of the excavator, the number of days of warranty, or who owns the diesel fuel in the excavator's fuel tank, or who pays for the return trip, etc.

Don't underestimate these seemingly small things; the fact that they're actually disgusting makes you feel disgusted. You might not care about the cost of a few dozen or even a few hundred dollars for gas, but if someone secretly siphons the gas away, wouldn't you feel disgusted?

Old Zhang had experienced this kind of thing more than once.

Yu Dawei lay on the kang and briefly recalled some precautions he had heard about returning the vehicle in his previous life. Even if he didn't need to use them, he should at least be mentally prepared.

And so, I finally drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Yu Dawei and Agui got up early, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, and had breakfast with their colleagues at the factory.

When he returned, he saw Duan Xiaowu still sleeping in bed, and Yu Dawei shook his head speechlessly.

"Wake this guy up," Yu Dawei said to A Gui, then turned and walked towards the door. "Take him to the equipment room to find me later."

A-Gui agreed, then broke off a piece of broom broom from the kang (a heated brick bed), pointed one end at Duan Xiaowu's nostrils, and began to slowly shake it.

"Achoo!" Duan Xiaowu sneezed in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw Agui holding a broom and millet and messing with him.

"What are you doing?!" Duan Xiaowu waved his hand at the other person, "Don't disturb my sleep."

"Are you still coming with us to watch the cars? If not, I'll tell the master for you." Ah Gui threw down the broom and millet, got up, and was about to leave.

"Hey, wait! I'm getting up now. This is way too early. It's not even six o'clock yet." Duan Xiaowu grumbled as he got up and dressed, glancing at the clock on the wall, and was instantly speechless.

"Is it early? We've already finished breakfast."

"Huh?! What about my share?! You and Master are so unfair! This is bullying, bullying!" Duan Xiaowu was on the verge of tears. Was he supposed to go to work on an empty stomach?

"Your portion, Master has already asked Grandpa Ji to put it in the pot to keep warm." Seeing that the other person had already gotten up, A-Gui ignored him and quickly opened the door and left the small house.

Duan Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief. He was someone who always had to eat breakfast, even if he was late for school.

This is a dietary habit instilled in me by my mother when I was a child. She taught me that one can skip dinner or lunch, but one must eat breakfast. Through all sorts of beatings and scoldings, I developed this habit, which is not easily changed.

"Hey? Senior Brother, wait for me!"

When Duan Xiaowu saw that Agui had run away first, he became anxious and hurriedly put on his clothes, not even having time to put on his cloth shoes, and rushed out of the house.

As for the title "Senior Brother," it came about because I lost a game of chess last night.

To be honest, Duan Xiaowu really admired his senior brother's intelligence. He originally thought, how could someone who was even younger than him be his senior brother?

But after playing chess last night, it's clear that this master's eldest disciple is no ordinary person, as he went from being a complete novice to easily defeating him in just a few moves.

He just doesn't like to talk, the kind of person who really doesn't like to talk. But he knew this, after all, he used to be mute, or as his father would say, he had a congenital speech disorder, and it was already a miracle that he could speak now.

Perhaps it was a habit formed from his inability to speak for many years, which made him usually taciturn. He never said a word of unnecessary words when he could do something.

"You didn't leave!" Duan Xiaowu pushed open the door and found that A Gui was looking up, staring straight at the sunrise and sun in the east.

The golden sunlight streaming from the east bathed every rooftop in the east, making the sunrise even more magnificent than the sunset. Combined with the fresh morning air he breathed in, Duan Xiaowu instantly felt much more energetic.

When A-Gui saw the other person come out, he pointed his head in the direction of the food, indicating that he should follow, and then walked away on his own.

Duan Xiaowu followed closely behind, constantly asking, "What did you eat for breakfast? Does the repair shop have meat? I don't like chives, so it's not chive-filled buns, is it...? I'd rather drink corn porridge than eat chives!"

Standing outside the equipment room in the distance, Yu Dawei saw the two teenagers walk into the dormitory where they ate, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Another reason he liked Duan Xiaowu was because of his ability to succeed anywhere.

This is similar to Boss Liang, but Duan Xiaowu is much smarter than Boss Liang, and his mind reacts extremely quickly.

If it weren't for the fear of hindering the child's future studies, it wouldn't be a problem to take the other person as an apprentice now.

Moreover, A-Gui and Duan Xiaowu have complementary personalities, so they can analyze and deal with any problems that arise in the future.

"It's good, but it would be even better if I could study and read books." Yu Dawei muttered to himself, then continued tidying up his tools.

The rescue vehicle in the field has been working continuously, but he didn't see it when he came back yesterday.

After all, it's wilderness rescue, so it's normal for Benjun and Lao Zhao to go out for two or three days at a time for rescue operations.

So this time when looking at cars, Yu Dawei could only drive away in his little red Fiat.

Fortunately, I don't need to bring too many tools.

Bring a complete set of oil pressure gauges, a set of my own blade wrenches, a flashlight, wire rope, a jack...

That's about it for now. If we encounter any special circumstances, we'll just have to adapt to the situation then.

Finally, Yu Dawei placed the double-barreled shotgun under the back seat.

Buying cars now is not as good as it will be in the future. Most people who come to buy cars have some money. If you really try to lure people in this way, their self-defense tools will definitely be in trouble.

Be prepared.

After they had almost finished tidying up their tools, the two boys walked over from a distance.

Yu Dawei didn't linger for long. He exchanged a few words with Lao Ji, went to check on Da Feng, and then drove straight to Qiqihar.

On the way, Yu Dawei was driving, A Gui was in the passenger seat, and Duan Xiaowu was in the back seat, constantly talking.

Yu Dawei and A Gui rarely had such a lively time when they went out alone, and for a moment they couldn't stand it.

Yu Dawei, in particular, wanted to scold him, but then thought that children should be lively by nature, so in the end he sighed and let it be.

After driving for about three and a half hours, the group finally arrived at the place the other party had mentioned.

This place isn't in the city; it's surrounded by plains, more like a village nestled in a courtyard. The road is a bumpy dirt track, and in the far distance, there's a rather large factory.

Outside, there's a yard enclosed by old wooden planks. Inside, there are not only excavators but also hand tractors, and dozens of sheep and about ten cows are kept nearby.

Sheep are hard to identify, but cattle come in a wider variety of types, including black cattle with white spots and yellow cattle.

"Let's get off the bus, this should be the place." Yu Dawei said to the two of them and sighed. He was glad that the person on the phone had explained the location clearly.

Without satellite positioning and navigation, Yu Dawei had to ask around to find his way here.

"Master, can you see if this is the same vehicle?" Duan Xiaowu stood on the grass outside and pointed to one of the newer excavators in the yard.

Now he is considered Yu Dawei's apprentice. Seeing A Gui call Yu Dawei "Master", a competitive spirit made him pronounce the word "Master" very smoothly.

"No, it's that one over there." Yu Dawei's gaze fell on the old, peeling excavator in the corner.

This Case excavator wasn't just peeling paint; from outside the yard, all he could see was the counterweight, which was also covered in rust.

The exhaust pipe protruded from the back, and you could see that it was completely covered in yellow rust. Just one glance told him that the car hadn't been moved in a long time.
