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

Chapter 501 I've Started Maintaining My Car Again
"Hey, it's your older brother." Yu Dawei leaned against the headboard, his feet tucked into the warm mattress, enjoying the warmth of the kang (heated brick bed).

"Big brother?" The person on the other end of the phone sounded surprised. Besides the surprised voice, there was also the sound of someone getting out of bed.

"Hmm." Yu Dawei nodded, picked up his teacup from the window behind him, took a sip of tea, and spoke again in a calm tone: "You're getting married the day after tomorrow, right? I transferred 100,000 yuan to your savings account during the day. Use this money to arrange a venue, prepare some good dishes, buy yourself a decent suit, and don't forget to buy your sister-in-law some gold jewelry."

"Once you've entered the Yu family's door, you're part of the Yu family. Don't mistreat them." After saying this, Yu Dawei's throat was a little dry, so he took another sip of water.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before a very complicated voice came through: "Brother, how...how did you know I'm getting married the day after tomorrow?"

"It's a secret. Okay, I'm done talking, I'm hanging up." Yu Dawei said and hung up the phone immediately.

The person on the other end of the phone was his younger brother, Yu Dasheng.

This guy got a girlfriend right after graduation, and she's the manager of a small factory in a state-owned enterprise.

Perhaps because he felt he had nothing and couldn't stand up straight in front of girls, he secretly used his savings and borrowed money to partner with Yu Dafu to build a fishpond.

The ending was rather bleak. Let's not talk about Yu Dafu's situation. Yu Dasheng's situation was better. The money owed for his part of the fishpond debt was paid off by his factory manager's sister-in-law who emptied her family's savings.

The couple originally planned to have a grand wedding at the end of the year, inviting all their parents, but now they can only invite a few friends for a simple ceremony.

Regarding his younger brother's situation in his previous life, all Yu Dawei could remember was the date of his brother's wedding. For his younger brother, Yu Dasheng, it was a wedding that lacked any dignity.

It was a loser's wedding.

Yu Dawei helped his cousin Yu Dafu, so why wouldn't he help his own younger brother?

"He didn't call them 'parents' not just because he was afraid of being scolded by his parents, but perhaps also because at this moment, he already has the surname Wang, and he doesn't know how to face it." Yu Dawei pondered for a moment, not quite sure what Yu Dasheng was thinking.

In short, Yu Dawei has done what he should do as a fellow countryman.

When your younger brother is truly in despair, help him as much as you can, without affecting your own life.

A few days after this incident, Yu Laonian received a letter from Yu Dasheng, which discussed the wedding and explained why he didn't invite his parents. In the end, his aunt and uncle sat in the parents' seats.

When Yu Dawei saw his father finish reading the letter that day, he seemed to have aged a lot. Perhaps he regretted trying to get his child out of the rural household registration back then, or perhaps he regretted letting Yu Dasheng leave home for such a far place.

That's just how it is in rural areas. If you want your child to be successful, going to live with relatives is the only option. Of course, if your child is exceptionally gifted but has a particularly poor learning ability, it's not impossible for them to get out of school through exams.

But how many children are so gifted?

Time slipped by amidst the falling snow of winter, and before we knew it, spring had arrived the following year.

Xiao Bai left his hometown once again, heading to Yake City to take over his 500 mu of land and, incidentally, to see how Yu Damin grows watermelons.

Han Jingfan and He Huihui's tutoring center in town has also expanded to include a small after-school care center, making them even busier every day, and they've also expanded the space.

They started with a single-story building and eventually rented a three-story building on the main street. The first floor had small square tables, the second floor had a tutoring center, and the third floor had an extracurricular activity center.

To Yu Dawei's surprise, Han Jingfan's investment this time didn't cost him any money. He asked his wife about it afterward, and she smiled and said, "She has money."

Yu Dawei didn't think much of it, assuming that He Huihui's tutoring center had made a lot of money in the past two years.

This year, the two of them recruited several more girls to be teachers in tutoring and extracurricular classes, and also hired a female chef at a small square table to cook.

Yu Dawei estimated that he had probably invested all the money he had earned in the past two years.

Recently, because some of Han Jingfan's writing friends were going to Northeast China for research, He Huihui volunteered to take them on a trip to Xiaobai's place.

Among the girls Yu Dawei saw, there were several who were very pretty. He had already secretly spoken to Han Jingfan, telling her to work hard after going to Xiaobai's side.

Everyone is at the age of settling down and starting a family now, so Xiaobai should at least pay more attention to his parents' needs.

The days that followed continued as usual. Yu Dawei's team expanded again, and his cooperation with the Eighth Bureau extended from Heilongjiang Province to north of Jizhou. Currently, there are three cooperating units.

The Eighth Bureau's policies were more lenient, and there was no mechanism for competition between them. Instead, they wanted to resell a lot of construction machinery to their partners.

One of the three partners joked while having dinner with Yu Dawei and another person, saying, "The Eighth Bureau's approach is to fatten you up and then start helping them digest the garbage they don't want."

But even what is trash in the eyes of the Eighth Injunction is a treasure in the eyes of others.

If the territories hadn't been divided, the other two would probably have ended up making money off each other. Only Yu Dawei didn't really need these old machines.

Because he now has a dedicated source for selling used equipment, and he knows not only the after-sales service departments of several domestic construction machinery manufacturers, but also other related businesses.

Even some foreign brand distributors approached Yu Dawei, asking him to sell the construction machinery that they couldn't get a good price for.

Yu Dawei accepts all kinds of special machinery, including excavators, bulldozers, loaders, road rollers, and others.

After collecting them, they are taken to Fanfan Repair Shop for repair, refurbishment, and resale, generating a considerable income.

Correspondingly, Yu Dawei's maintenance workforce is also increasing, and he is constantly recruiting various drivers, resulting in a visible increase in personnel costs!
Fortunately, everything is on a positive note. This is indeed an era where as long as you are willing to work hard, you can make money off the ground.

According to Yu Dawei's estimate, in 2000, all his assets, including various cars, factories, shares, etc., should have been worth around ten million yuan.

Yu Dawei planned to buy the land next to the G301 national highway in the oil city around 2000.

According to his estimation, land in various parts of the development zone is being speculated on quite fiercely right now. His second uncle had told him that he had recently bought land twice and suffered losses both times.

However, around 2000, the policies of the oil city will shift towards the development of the old city area, which will be the opportunity for individuals to purchase land in the development zone.

If the price can be reduced to 300 yuan per square meter, then 33 mu of land would be worth more than six million yuan.

The price is currently 450 yuan per square meter in the development zone, and it will soon reach around 500 yuan. Yu Dawei doesn't want to be ripped off at this time, especially since it's industrial land, and the price might even be higher.

Just as Yu Dawei was frantically accumulating initial capital and striving to leapfrog his social class in the future, a phone call nearing summer disrupted his plans.

"Boss! You have a call!" Old Ji came out of Yu Dawei's small brick house and shouted hurriedly to Yu Dawei in front of the parts department.

"Here it comes!" Yu Dawei ate the first batch of lantern persimmons brought from home in one bite, and ran towards the small brick house. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Dafeng, who was eating persimmons while doing accounting, "Leave a few for me, don't eat them all!"

"Okay!" Da Feng rolled her eyes at her older brother, utterly speechless.

This persimmon was picked by her father to give her vitamins, but her older brother ate most of it instead.

However, Da Feng wasn't too proud of the lantern-shaped persimmons in the garden; she just ate them anyway.

Over the past few years, she has been managing the factory with her older brother and has saved up more than a dozen. She is still short 23,000 yuan to make 20. She plans to pay back half of the money to her older brother first, and she is very confident that she can pay back the other half within five years.

The parts she's in charge of are selling better and better, and she's already signed a general agent agreement for the three northeastern provinces. Soon, the parts for several car brands and construction machinery brands that they represent will be available in various parts of the three northeastern provinces.

Of course, these matters are mainly handled by Boss Liang. He has now obtained the distribution rights for Heilongjiang Province and is also helping his elder brother find partners in Liaoning and Jilin Provinces.

As for the issue of city-level agents under provincial agents, that's something each provincial agent is responsible for.

Yu Feng is responsible for ensuring that everyone achieves the corresponding sales targets according to the quarterly plan. She mainly oversees the three provincial distributors in Northeast China, including assisting them with promotional activities, as well as quality analysis of accessories, product analysis, and so on.

This is also the identity that Yu Dawei has helped Yu Feng find in recent years. After all, she is a girl, so it is not good to do things that require her to be in the public eye. It is better to understand the product and make others understand it, like a product lecturer.

"Hello, who are you?"

After running into the house, Yu Dawei pulled over a stool and sat down on it before picking up the red telephone receiver to ask questions.

"Brother Yu, it's me, Zhang Huaijin." A magnetic male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Huaijin?! Wow, how long has it been since you last contacted me? What have you been up to lately?" Yu Dawei was somewhat surprised that this guy would call him.

Ever since he asked the other party to ship his spare parts a few years ago, he seems to only call Yu Dawei occasionally during holidays.

At first, this guy called quite frequently. Knowing that Yu Feng worked in his factory, he didn't call her, but called himself instead, and casually asked about Yu Feng's recent situation.

Just when Yu Dawei was about to confirm that this was a devoted lover, the phone calls became less and less frequent, and eventually, they stopped coming altogether.

The phone call today really caught Yu Dawei off guard.

"Hey bro, actually I've started maintaining my car again."
