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

Chapter 541 Waiting for good news
Yu Dawei paused here, a hint of planning in his eyes, "To be honest, I'm also planning to get a shipping container office in a couple of years."

"The buildings around Fanfan's repair shop are a bit messy right now, with both adobe houses and prefabricated steel houses. If we have enough funds later, I plan to use shipping containers as office buildings, and then equip them with a special heating boiler room to ensure the temperature inside the containers in winter."

"As for the repair shop and the large garage, it would be better to build them with reinforced concrete and soil in the back." Yu Dawei also discovered a problem: the prefabricated steel structure is really not sturdy, and it is too big. In addition, the foundation underneath is unstable, so it is easy to have problems.

In recent years, Yu Dawei has had the steel-framed house reinforced several times, but these are ultimately just temporary fixes.

Yu Dawei doesn't have time right now. Once the shop in the oil city is up and running, he will focus on dealing with the repair issues of Fanfan Repair Shop.

"Now that you mention it, it seems like using shipping containers as offices isn't a bad idea. Even if we don't need them anymore, we can sell them for scrap metal." Boss Liang thought about it for a moment and felt that the idea was feasible, but he still hadn't made up his mind. Instead, he looked at Duan Dahai.

Of the three, the most composed one is definitely Duan Dahai, the eldest brother.

“Hmm, I think we can give it a try. If Lao Liang uses shipping containers to build houses, it will not only be simple, but also quick enough.” Duan Dahai analyzed rationally. “Our most important task now is to help Lao Liang sign the cooperation agreement and obtain the agency rights. After that, he can do whatever he wants.”

“Using shipping containers as office space right now is definitely an extremely effective solution,” Duan Dahai said, glancing at Factory Director Yu beside him.

"I'm an old man and I don't know much about these things, so you guys can decide. If you think this place is suitable, I'll talk to the leaders in our town, and I think renting this place for a few days shouldn't be a problem," Director Yu smiled at the group.

"Then it's settled!" Boss Liang clenched his fist and palm, eager to try. "I'll immediately have everyone drop what they're doing and come back to help with this area. Clearing the weeds and building the fence will take time."

"For fencing, you can use wire mesh and tie a few wooden posts together; it's simple and convenient," Yu Dawei interjected.

“Then I’ll help contact who’s free in the village and call them all over,” Duan Dahai said. “I can contact people in each village who collect scrap. Once the villages are notified, there will definitely be plenty of people willing to come and do some short-term work.”

"Alright, Brother Duan, let's dismantle the brick kiln's chimney. It can be used for repairs later. Besides, we'll need to add a few windows to the brick kiln to make it look a bit like a warehouse..."

And so, the group of people began to repair the old brick kiln site, talking amongst themselves.

Yu Dawei knew that Boss Liang had been working hard to expand his business in recent years and wanted to set up a factory and own a piece of land like him and Brother Duan. He knew he had to help out this time.

The reason why Yu Feng's parts were able to spread throughout Northeast China was largely due to Boss Liang's efforts in developing the market and promoting the parts brand as a distributor.

Not long after, three days had passed, and the desolate old brick kiln began to radiate a different kind of brilliance.

The former ruins were cleared by excavators and bulldozers, and the dilapidated chimneys in the distance were also demolished. With the help of the villagers, all the broken brick kilns began to be restored to a brand new look.

Ten days later, the container from the original manufacturer arrived, and Boss Liang quickly instructed the decoration company to begin decorating the container according to his sketches.

There were three shipping containers arranged in a "品" (pin) shape. The top container had two doors, and behind them was a railing. Stairs were inside the building, leading to the left and right floors respectively. There was also a door between the two containers on the first floor. Yu Dawei couldn't understand why Boss Liang designed it this way, but everyone has different preferences, and although he didn't understand, he respected it.

After seeing the container building, Duan Dahai approved of its feasibility, but he couldn't agree with Boss Liang's aesthetic style.

According to Mr. Liang, the container on the right side of the first floor is his huge office, which includes a study, desk, tea room, and a small garden outside.

Although the design was beautiful, looking at the old, dilapidated brick kiln behind it, Yu Dawei felt it was somewhat incongruous.

Fortunately, at least for now, everything seems to be going well.

Finally, the spare parts that Yu Dawei purchased, as well as some flour and rice from the flour mill, were all moved into the "warehouse".

However, the warehouse was so large that, in addition to the parts that should be transported for Boss Liang himself, it only took up less than half of the brick kiln.

The rice and flour that Duan Dahai brought over were even better than those that Yu Dawei brought. After keeping some flour and rice from his own factory, he brought all of it here, and it only took one brick kiln to hold it all.

"Old Liang, once you've signed the contract, you have to return my flour and rice as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid they'll get damp and infested with bugs if left for too long."

As Duan Dahai and Yu Dawei walked to the gate, just before getting into the car, Duan Dahai was still a little worried about Boss Liang's carefree personality, so he reminded him again.

"Don't worry, I'll send all your parts, cars, and flour back to you as soon as the contract is signed tomorrow." Boss Liang waved his hand impatiently. Old Duan was just too cautious.

Flour and the like only last a day or two, how could it get damp? And rice, isn't it always stored in a wooden sieve?

Yu Dawei doesn't need to worry about the dampness issue, since he's brought over heavy metal objects.

However, knowing that Boss Liang could be unreliable at times, he couldn't help but remind him again: "Send a few more people to watch over things tonight, and then hurry up and lock the gate."

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will be lost," Boss Liang assured him, patting his chest.

Yu Dawei and Duan Dahai exchanged a glance before driving away separately.

They don't have time to deal with Boss Liang's affairs every day. Since both of their things are here now, they come here when shipping them to distributors in other places.

Yu Dawei was thinking that once Lao Liang secured this major client, he might not push forward the brands that Lao Liang represented much in the future, so he would have to help Yu Feng find a decent marketing manager.
