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

Chapter 458 September
The next day, with Shao Gang's help, Yu Dawei transferred the money from his savings account to his own account, had a meal with Shao Gang, and then hurriedly left Kunming.

Shao Mingxue was actually a little reluctant to part with him, especially with Agui. Before leaving, she gave Agui her beloved posture correction pen and told him to study hard.

In the 1990s, posture correction pens were popular among children in the city. They were a type of fountain pen, but made of plastic, and were specifically designed for children to practice writing.

Ah Gui didn't take it for nothing; before leaving, he secretly slipped fifty yuan into the crack of the sofa. As for when Shao Mingxue would find out, no one knew.

After receiving the 160,000 yuan transfer, Yu Dawei actually had the same idea as A Gui: to transfer the extra money back to the other party.

But when he thought of Gangzi's tearful and grateful expression last night, he didn't want the other person to live with gratitude for the rest of his life, even though Yu Dawei didn't expect the other person to take advantage of his kindness.

But if we meet in the future for drinks and conversation, and the other person is always so embarrassed to be inferior to me, it's really a bit unreasonable.

On the contrary, having received this money, he will remember Gangzi and might even help him out if something good happens in the future.

This trip to Kunming has come to an end.

Although he didn't get a single excavator back, Yu Dawei made a very good friend, unlike Boss Liang who was just a casual acquaintance.

For Dawei, this trip wasn't a complete loss, since besides making a friend, he also gained an extra 50,000 yuan.

A-Gui has gained half of love; as for the other half, it all depends on when A-Gui will become interested in Xiao-Xue.

After returning, Yu Dawei continued to contact potential sellers, mainly focusing on excavators.

Throughout July and August, Yu Dawei took his two children all over Northeast China.

Machinery rental markets in cities, spare parts stores, and remote, uninhabited mountain areas with only sporadic operations...

By September, Yu Dawei had successfully acquired three excavators.

They are a Komatsu 380, a domestically produced LiuGong excavator, and a Daewoo excavator made in South Korea.

After the three excavators were repaired, they sold very quickly.

However, when selling these three excavators, Yu Dawei was smarter. Instead of leaving the vehicles at the entrance of Fanfan's repair shop, he took them to the oil city and placed them in the machinery rental market in the western part of the oil city.

I found the local market manager, paid them separately, and had them oversee the market.

Then Yu Dawei started accumulating customers. He would schedule appointments with two or three people who wanted to look at cars on the same day, and then Yu Dawei would go over.

Basically, if you go there, you'll succeed.

Even several people who wanted to buy excavators had arrived, and seeing that others were also buying them, they started to get anxious.

Yu Dawei went to the oil city to meet clients four times to sell excavators, and sold all three excavators.

The key point is that Yu Dawei, who sells excavators, has an extra benefit compared to other car repair shop owners.

If you sell my excavator, I can guarantee it for a year. If there are any problems with the major components of the excavator within that year, you can have it repaired for free at my repair shop.

The excavators we sell come with a lifetime warranty. You can come to Fanfan Repair Shop for any problems. All owners who buy Yu Dawei excavators will receive a 20% discount on repairs at our shop.

Then, with the promotion of membership cards, basically everyone who bought Yu Dawei excavators ended up becoming a member of Fanfan Repair Shop without even realizing it.

The journey is too far, and whether they will actually go if the car breaks down is up to them.

In July and August, Yu Dawei earned a total of 250,000 yuan from selling cars.

I made a lot of money, but I was also exhausted.

According to Yu Dawei's estimate, including collecting, repairing, and selling, he can make about one unit per month.

Because there is a high demand for excavators in the market right now, they will sell very quickly as long as the price is right, unlike the situation in the future where there will be piles of unsold machinery.

Yu Dawei plans to focus on two things in the next two years. One is to build his own fleet of construction vehicles to contract projects. This is quite profitable, and with the vehicles and drivers already in place, making money will be very easy.

Besides that, we are accepting vehicles, currently only excavators, but we will expand this to other vehicles depending on the situation.

If he finds good construction machinery, he'll keep it; if not, he'll sell it immediately.

Once he has enough funds, he plans to replace all the machinery in his fleet with new construction equipment!

Damn it! To be reborn with nothing but secondhand goods, this just doesn't make sense!
Besides the income from the excavator, there is also income from the factory and vehicle maintenance. After deducting employee expenses and other living expenses, there is still about 7 left.

All in all, Yu Dawei's income in July and August alone amounted to a staggering 320,000 yuan. Now, Yu Dawei finally understands the saying people often told him in his past life—choice is more important than effort.

If Yu Dawei had simply continued working as a car repairman, he wouldn't have amassed such incredible wealth.

Don't forget this is just the beginning! He also has a machinery maintenance contract with the Eighth Bureau.

Next year or the year after, I will cooperate more deeply with the Eighth Bureau to ensure that the maintenance ranking is not eliminated. Within two or three years, Yu Dawei is confident that his net worth will directly exceed one million!
There's also the matter of parts distribution... Yu Dawei doesn't seem to be too optimistic or concerned about this parts business.

As long as it doesn't affect the repair shop's normal repair services, let Taifeng do whatever she wants with the parts.
Of course, this is on the premise that the money on hand is not used to buy equipment, but if you want to expand the business, you have to increase investment.

There's no rush to determine how much to invest later or how much cash flow to retain.

Yu Dawei pondered that it wouldn't be too late to study this when his assets exceeded one million.

Right now, the most important thing is to take advantage of the construction projects starting across China, quickly resell some of the construction vehicles to accumulate funds, and at the same time, develop your own small fleet of vehicles.

In the last few days before the summer vacation ended, Yu Dawei took his eldest apprentice and soon-to-be second apprentice to Liancheng in Liaoning Province.

Firstly, he wanted to collect cars to see which ones he wanted to sell, and secondly, since the two children had never seen the sea before, Yu Dawei wanted to let the two little ones relax in Liancheng.

Although they didn't reach an agreement on the return of the car, the master and his apprentices had a great time because the management of the beach was not strict at the moment.

Yu Dawei specially brought his two little ones and rented a farmhouse's barbecue equipment to have a barbecue by the sea.

I also took them to the Liancheng Old Forest Zoo. When we arrived, I heard from locals that the zoo was going to be relocated, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Besides the zoo, there are also Zhongshan Street, Dachangshan Island, Houtian Temple, and so on.

We ate a lot of delicious food and bought them several sets of clothes at the mall.

Because the two little ones had been working hard for him throughout the two months of summer vacation, Yu Dawei gave each of them a big red envelope.

However, Yu Dawei took back Duan Xiaowu's red envelope after giving it to him. The main reason was that the kid couldn't save money. He would give Duan Xiaowu some pocket money in the morning, and he would spend it all in the afternoon.

Yu Dawei didn't trust him at all, so he told him very seriously that the red envelope could only be kept by his father when he got home.

Duan Xiaowu was also helpless about this.

After spending several months together, he knew his master's personality all too well. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it unless you had a particularly convincing reason to persuade him.

But Duan Xiaowu really didn't want to rack his brains to come up with various excuses, and he was too lazy to think about how to outwit his master.

"Master, are we going back tomorrow? Have you bought things for your wife?"

On the beach at dusk, the three of them huddled together on the sand, enjoying the sea breeze and watching the waves roll by. Suddenly, Duan Xiaowu asked a question.

"Such a young age, yet so nosy." Yu Dawei rolled his eyes at Duan Xiaowu beside him, but when he turned to look at the sea, he still answered, "I bought it, a jade bracelet from Liancheng Jewelry Store, it looks quite nice."

"Wait a minute, Master! I heard my mom say that nowadays you have to give a woman a diamond, something like an eight-star or eight-arrow diamond. Last semester I even saw my mom sell her diamond ring for a high price to support my dad's factory." Duan Xiaowu turned his head and excitedly showed off his off-topic knowledge to Yu Dawei.

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei still crossed his arms over his calves and said calmly, "If it sells well, don't be fooled by how valuable it is now. In the future, it will be almost as cheap as cabbage, and it might even develop into something like pink diamonds, blue diamonds, green diamonds, and so on."

"Huh?!" Duan Xiaowu stood there dumbfounded, seemingly still reeling from the future Yu Dawei had described.

"By the way, are you going to continue going to school, or are you coming with me to fix cars?" Yu Dawei tilted his head to look at him. "Let me tell you, the red envelope I gave you is enough for you to finish high school. Think about it, this is money you earned yourself to go to school."

"Money I earned myself... to study..." Duan Xiaowu's eyes gleamed for a moment.

Many high school classmates struggle to pay their tuition fees, and some even delay it for a long time.

But he earned all the tuition and fees for the next two years of high school in one summer!

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited, but if I really went back, I would inevitably lose my dignity.

Yu Dawei glanced at the guy again, and seeing that he hadn't persuaded him, he continued, "Anyway, if you stay, it'll just be the two of us. Agui won't have time to play with you. He has to skip a grade and finish junior high. Around this time next year, he'll take the high school entrance exam directly."

"Huh?! Is that even possible? Junior high school material is really hard to learn!" Duan Xiaowu knew all too well how difficult it was to catch up on junior high school material.

There was a time when he studied desperately for love. In order to get into the same high school as his beloved female classmate, he worked hard day and night and exhausted all his efforts to barely pass the admission score.

“It’s alright. At least A-Gui can read and write now. Next, we’ll see if he likes reading. If he does, he can work hard to get into high school. If he doesn’t like it and doesn’t get in, he can come with me to work on cars.” Yu Dawei said, reaching out to affectionately pat A-Gui’s head on his right.
