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

Chapter 525 Northern Excavator

I'll leave after I see his excavator is repaired.

To put it bluntly, I'm worried that Brother Yu might not take responsibility after fixing it, so I have to keep an eye on him.

Yu Dawei could guess what they were really up to even with his eyes closed.

----

Liucheng.

Wu Sheng stepped out through the gate, the blazing sunlight shining on him and dispelling the musty smell around him.

He hadn't seen the sun for several days, and he subconsciously took a deep breath, wishing he could inhale all the sunlight and air into his body.

During his few days inside, he thought a lot.

Thinking about how he had worked so hard for the company and the factory, only to end up like this, he felt a pang of sadness.

He didn't care about losing his position, but having a stain on his record was like being dressed in white and suddenly having a drop of ink thrown on him.

That patch of black on his clothes was so glaring that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to!

If it were before he went in, he would probably have thought more about quitting; the backstabbing and infighting in the job was just too tiring.

But now that he's out there, he keeps asking himself, "Why? Why did I have to suffer like this?"
Just because I stick to my principles? Just because I can't stand opportunistic people?

“Zhang Ruimin, Yu Dawei…” Wu Sheng raised his head, shielding his eyes from the glaring sunlight, revealing only the lower half of his face covered in stubble.

Since good people don't last long, it's better for evil people to live on for a thousand years.

Wu Sheng's eyes were cold as he turned and walked towards home.

He wanted to put on a brand new suit, look back at everything in the past with a more proud gaze, and use extraordinary means to climb back to the position of marketing manager.

No, he wants to work hard for the old factory director's position as well. He wants to climb to the position of factory director, or even the vice president of the entire company, and eventually the top boss!

Yu Dawei stopped paying attention to what was happening with LiuGong.

After returning to his hometown with Dafeng and Zhang Huaijin, he immediately devoted himself to the repair work of the small excavator.

Yu Dawei first contacted Zhang, the person in charge of LiuGong in Heilongjiang Province, who was also someone he had drunk with in the after-sales service department before, and asked him to help get all the mini excavators to the oil city equipment factory.

Once the first batch of spare parts from the temporary excavator arrived, Yu Dawei immediately transferred twenty repairmen from Fanfan Repair Shop in his hometown to begin disassembling the mini excavator's engine and replacing it.

Of the 120 small excavators that Yu Dawei had, 10 belonged to Zhang Huaijin, 4 to Engineer Zhang and Lao Wang, and the remaining 102 belonged to Yu Dawei.

These excavators are not difficult to repair, but there are just too many of them.

Zhang Huaijin still wanted to bid for Gansu Province, so he begged Yu Dawei to repair his ten excavators first, and then repair twenty more so he could bid.

It was extremely important to Zhang Huaijin to make sure that there wasn't enough time to submit a bid.

Yu Dawei was well aware of the stakes involved and readily agreed to repair and refurbish the thirty units first for use in the bidding process in Gansu Province.

The repaired excavators were then put back into the market. Zhang Huaijin stayed at Fanfan's repair shop for a few days, probably because he had something to do, and was reluctantly seen off by Yu Dawei at the train station.

To Yu Dawei's surprise, on the day Zhang Huaijin left, Yu Feng, who never asked for leave, actually took the initiative to ask him for leave so that they could go see Zhang Huaijin off together.

Tsk tsk, if these two don't have something going on, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death.

The old man and his mother, Zhang Yunqin, were overjoyed to learn that Zhang Huaijin and Yu Feng's relationship had warmed up. They specially invited Yu Dawei's family, Da Feng, and Er Yan back to the old village, made dumplings for them, and asked Da Feng what was going on.

Dafeng calmly replied that they were just good friends, but no one really believed her.

According to the old man's idea, the eldest brother, Yu Dawei, got married early and his child is almost ready to start preschool. Then the second brother, Yu Dasheng, also got married last year. After that, there are three daughters left, who are about the age to get married.

Er Yan will be going to Hohhot in a few days. Her father's younger sister, who is also Yu Dawei's aunt, has arranged a job for her there.

After attending the family gathering, Yu Dawei took the repairmen to the oil city to officially repair the car.

According to Yu Dawei's plan, all excavators should ideally be put into the market before August, because August is the peak season for the entire construction period, and it is also the hottest time of year in Northeast China.

The initial engine repairs were relatively easy, but the subsequent repainting proved to be a challenge.

Because of an agreement with LiuGong, the excavator's appearance could not be the same as LiuGong's brand. Yu Dawei went to great lengths to ask many people with artistic talent to help design the excavator's exterior color.

Finally, at the suggestion of the two beauties, He Huihui and Han Jingfan, Yu Dawei made the entire excavator body black, added some red lines around it for decoration, and finally added a red reflective strip around the counterweight.

This way, when working at night, passing vehicles can clearly see an excavator working in the distance as long as they turn on their lights.

With that, the mini excavator project was completely finished, and the next step was to launch it on the market.

For General Manager Zhao in the south, Yu Dawei sent two repairmen to provide full guidance: one was Lao Ji, and the other was Lao Ji's apprentice whom he had taken on in the past two years.

Besides providing repair guidance, the two of them also ensured that the exterior color design of the mini excavator was consistent with the excavator on Yu Dawei's side.

Finally, it's time to launch it into the market.

Yu Dawei chose three locations: Qiqihar, Harbin, and the oil city.

The three locations have more projects, are more prosperous, and have a larger population. Each small excavator is priced at 15, but if you buy a lot, you can get a discount to 12.

Furthermore, all owners who purchase mini excavators enjoy a three-year warranty, covering any quality issues within those three years.

As for the brand of the mini excavator, Yu Dawei brainstormed ideas and decided that since the company is located in the north, the excavator would be named "Northern," which is simple and easy to remember.

Before applying the paint, Yu Dawei specifically asked He Huihui to design a "Northern" logo for him, since he wanted to sell the product to the market as a brand.

And so, the Northern Excavator began to be sold in three cities in Heilongjiang Province. According to Yu Dawei's idea, his mini excavator was priced tens of thousands of yuan cheaper than other new mini excavators. If anyone knew anything about excavators, they would definitely buy it after a test drive.

Simply put, it's cheap and offers great value for money!
So, according to his plan, he should be able to process about two hundred excavators in about a year.

The result was even more exaggerated than Yu Dawei had imagined.
