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

Chapter 443 Searching for Parts
The two children plan to raise the dog together for now, and then Duan Xiaowu will take his puppy to the flour mill when it gets a little older.

A-Gui's puppy was left at Fanfan's repair shop. Lao Ji had already promised A-Gui that once he started school, the guys at the shop would help take care of the puppy.

This was the first time that A-Gui had experienced the care and concern of a large family.

Yu Dawei didn't care much about these people's decisions. He wasn't too concerned about raising dogs. Ever since Da Bai in the old village had puppies, he felt that raising dogs was just so-so.

If you're lucky, you might find a smart and obedient dog; if you're unlucky, you might get so angry you could die.

Today he steals someone's chicken, tomorrow he bites someone's duck. Yu Dawei has thought several times when he got back that he should just kill Gou Shengzi and stew him for dog meat.

Then, remembering that he was Baymax's child, she ultimately held back, only breaking his dog leg, which was later slowly repaired.

However, Yu Dawei thought that A Gui's Tibetan Mastiff puppy was too listless and probably wouldn't last more than a month.

He has raised dogs since he was a child, and he knows all too well how much suffering dogs go through from puppyhood to adulthood. Nowadays, veterinary medicine is not that advanced, so it's hard to say whether this puppy will survive.

However, Yu Dawei doesn't express his own thoughts. Sometimes, he wants his children to understand the process of life from birth to death. This way, they will cherish life more and, even in the future, be able to detach themselves from work and avoid putting themselves in danger.

Besides car repair, there are actually many other dangerous industries in society, such as electricians, welders, coal miners, fishermen, and so on.

Take sea fishing as an example. Sometimes, when encountering extreme weather at sea, those who are not good swimmers can truly face a life-or-death situation.

If there was one thing Yu Dawei did well in his past life, it was how many subordinates and apprentices he had around. Before repairing cars, he would teach them the first lesson: safety.

Even someone as safety-conscious as Yu Dawei cannot guarantee that no accidents will happen during car repairs.

The time I almost broke my back is a good example.

While setting up the doghouse, Yu Dawei chatted with the two children about their experiences on the trip. Yu Dawei could clearly sense that Duan Xiaowu's mood was much better than before the trip.

That's good.

When his attention is diverted, he will find that love is just a vivid stroke in the memories of youth, but it is insignificant compared to life as a whole.

In the distance, the Case excavator was slowly lifted by a crane that had driven in from outside, and then gently placed on the open ground under the north wall. This time, with a fifty-ton crane on hand, the process of bringing it down went very smoothly.

After the car was unloaded, Yu Dawei started dealing with the excavator parts issue. He dismissed the crane and tow truck drivers, and after helping to modify the doghouse, Yu Dawei went to the small house and made a phone call to Ye Qian.

Unfortunately, no one answered the phone. Helpless, Yu Dawei could only pick up a pen and start making a list of the excavator parts that needed to be repaired.

With the house construction underway and the 80,000 yuan spent to get the car back, my finances are getting a bit tight again.

Regarding buying parts, let's see how much money Fanfan's repair shop has made recently and help him out a little.

It's almost mid-July now. Yu Dawei always compiles the accounts on the 15th of each month, then distributes everyone's wages the next day, and finally sums up all the money earned.

At present, it seems that we may not be able to afford the cost of the spare parts. If we contact Mr. Ye, we will probably have to use some persuasion to get him to send over some spare parts.

This was a last resort, and Yu Dawei felt that the only way to get Case's parts was through Boss Ye.

Just then, the red phone next to him suddenly rang, and Yu Dawei quickly picked it up.

As expected, it was Boss Ye's voice coming from the other end of the phone. Judging from the situation, he hadn't gone abroad anytime soon.

"Boss Ye, it's me, Yu Dawei."

After hearing Yu Dawei's voice on the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence before he spoke with interest: "Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Did you run into some trouble?"

Yu Dawei blushed slightly, realizing that the other party had indeed guessed correctly. However, he still exchanged some simple pleasantries: "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to tell you about the current distribution situation in Sui City."

"Currently, Sui City has one district and seven counties. The products have been distributed to two county-level cities, and the products have been distributed to the two county-level cities, the main urban area, and the two counties below.

"Although we didn't stock much, because we mainly sell high-end brands, the products on the shelves are placed in prominent positions. I even specially made a few logos of high-end car brands from an advertising store, which look very classy next to the accessories." Yu Dawei held the phone in his left hand and talked non-stop. What he said was exactly what Boss Liang had told him a few days ago. He basically copied and pasted it, and the ideas were all from Boss Liang.

Lao Liang has his own unique insights into interpersonal relationships and doing business. He knows that it is difficult to sell high-end car parts, and low-end parts are also controlled by others. So he simply went straight into the high-end parts that the other party could not reach.

Since it's just about stocking up, and we're not expecting to sell them in the short term, the store is just for promotion and advertising. When high-end customers need to replace parts, they'll find that the parts are not only easy to buy and sell, but also look high-end when displayed in the parts store, which will definitely raise their spending level.

The high-end components that Boss Liang sells are priced very high, with a profit margin of up to 70%, and that doesn't even include the profit margin that Dawei retains on his side.

If you actually sell one, you'll make a substantial profit.

When Ye Qian heard Yu Dawei say this on the phone, he immediately became interested. He could roughly guess the other party's marketing strategy, and he could even see that some of the more expensive accessories were being sold at extremely high prices.

He's not afraid of raising prices, but he's afraid of malicious competition between channels driving prices down. If there's malicious competition between them, he, as the domestic general agent, will definitely be in the most difficult position.

"Excellent. You didn't dwell on the immediate gains and losses, but focused on the future. Dawei, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Boss Ye praised generously, his tone full of admiration.

He felt that only someone with such a broad perspective could expand the parts business, from a city distributor to a provincial distributor, and then to a distributor in the north.

At this moment, his appreciation for Yu Dawei rose to a new level.

However, Yu Dawei on the other end of the phone was completely bewildered and did not understand why the other party was praising him so much.

He remembered that when Lao Liang expressed this idea and suggestion, his tone was full of helplessness. He said that the parts were not selling well now, and Qin Yourong's people were everywhere. He was putting himself in a do-or-die situation!
He spoke with such fervor that Yu Dawei kept trying to comfort him.

However, seeing that the other party was in a good mood, Yu Dawei did not dare to waste the precious opportunity and quickly asked about the Case parts: "Boss Ye, I would like to ask if you can get Case excavator parts."

"A Case excavator?" Ye Qian was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, with the occasional sound of pages turning. After a while, he said, "I can get in touch with them, but the exact price is hard to determine."

“I contacted this manufacturer before, but their parts were expensive, and there are very few Case excavators in the domestic market, so I never contacted them again. Is there anything I can help you with?” Boss Ye finally understood the real purpose of Yu Dawei’s call.

"To be honest, I acquired a Case excavator, but the engine, main pump, and starter all have some problems. I was wondering if I could get some parts from you." After saying this, Yu Dawei shut his mouth and listened quietly to the other party's reply.

There was another pause on the other end of the phone: "It's not easy. I can help you contact suppliers for the parts, but transportation is a big problem. If I can get the parts, I can only ship them to Kyoto for you. As for anything further north from Kyoto, you'll have to figure that out yourself."

“Sure! No problem.” Yu Dawei nodded; he already had someone in mind to help him.

Seeing that they had almost finished talking, Ye Qian, on the other end of the phone, but Yu Dawei still showed no sign of hanging up, couldn't help but become curious again: "Is there anything else?"

"Ah... well, Mr. Ye, I'm a little short on cash lately. Could you spare a few days' worth of money for the parts? Don't worry! I'll transfer the money for the parts to you as soon as I sell this excavator!" Yu Dawei once again displayed his shamelessness and made a solemn promise.

To prevent the other party from having any hesitation, Yu Dawei added, "Recently, there have been a lot of people working in our county, and many car maintenance companies have also come. In addition, there is a machinery rental market right in front of my shop, so I definitely won't have to worry about selling this Case excavator after I finish repairing it!"

"Sigh, fine, what can I do? I've got to know you." A speechless sigh came from the other end of the phone. "But it's settled then, I'm going to raise the price of the parts by another 10%, but don't worry about the shipping costs to Kyoto, I'll cover them, how about that?"

Ye Qian is a businessman after all, so helping him is no problem, but he can't afford to lose out either. This kind of offer is good for both parties.

Although he didn't care much about the cost of the parts, he couldn't let Yu Dawei get them so easily, because if there was a first time, there would be a second.

Who knows how many more times we'll need his help in the future? It's better to establish the rules early on.

"Okay! Thank you!" Yu Dawei didn't feel like he had lost out. Boss Ye helping him was a favor, and if he hadn't helped him, Yu Dawei wouldn't have had anything to say.

“Okay, tell me the parts you need, and I’ll have someone contact the manufacturer at Case right now,” Ye Qian said.

Yu Dawei then presented the other party with the parts he had prepared on the paper, one by one, and also made sure to mention the model of the Case excavator.

Finally, Yu Dawei checked all the models and accessories one last time before hanging up the phone.

The rest depends on whether Boss Ye can provide the necessary support.
