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

Chapter 543 Introducing You to Someone
"Don't overthink it, let's eat." Yu Dawei noticed the emotion on Zhao Zi's face and tapped his plate with his chopsticks as a reminder.

He knew roughly what was going on with Erdan, but there were some things he shouldn't tell Claw and Brother Biao, lest they worry unnecessarily.

After the group finished eating, Yu Dawei personally took charge, along with Lao Ji and his apprentice, to help with the maintenance and repair of the two vehicles in the convoy.

Zhang Ergou and another newcomer to the team also came to help out, and occasionally chatted with Yu Dawei.

However, unless Yu Dawei takes the initiative to speak, he will not speak either.

"What's your daughter's name again?" Yu Dawei lay on a cardboard box under the car, his hands gloved, using a wrench to disassemble it while chatting with the person next to him.

Repairing the gearbox was not difficult for David, as it was not a complicated problem; it was simply a matter of replacing the worn gears inside.

"His name is Zhang Shuang. My child should have started school last year, but his birthday is too young, born in the twelfth lunar month, so he's a year older than his classmates when he started school." Zhang Ergou, who was helping to unscrew the screws, spoke with a hint of restraint and respect.

He found that working in the car team was not bad, and the salary was about the same as in big cities like Liancheng, so Zhang Ergou had nothing to complain about.

Right now, the priority is to perform well and let the boss see my value.

“Zhang Shuang…” Yu Dawei lay on the cardboard and frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard this name before.

I remember one year when I took my eldest son back to the village, I think we passed by Old Zhang's house and he said something like sorry to me.

As for what he should apologize for, Yu Dawei couldn't quite recall.

The only one to blame is that the kid didn't write this down in his diary; he certainly didn't care much about his eldest son in his past life.

"Work hard. I heard you have a lawsuit in Liancheng. Don't always think about running away from things. Maybe when you face it head-on, you'll see a different turning point."

These words weren't spoken by Yu Dawei, but were read aloud by Han Jingfan while reading a book. Because they sounded good, Yu Dawei secretly memorized them.

People like Yu Dawei should face the storms head-on without fear.

"Um, thank you, boss." Zhang Ergou was also stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking of something heavy on his mind, and nodded seriously.

Afterwards, Yu Dawei helped Claw and Zhang Biao fix the car, then went back to the village to get some clothes, and headed straight for the plot of land next to the G301 national highway in the oil city.

In the afternoon, someone who was in charge of making storefront signs contacted Yu Dawei, saying that the large signs were finished and the renovation team had also tidied up the roadside warehouse.

Of course, these were all minor matters for Dawei. The most important thing was that his second uncle had called him and said that the gas station license had been obtained, and Dawei could pick it up from his place.

Yu Dawei first bought some things in the town before driving to the oil city.

Even now, obtaining permits for gas stations is difficult, and it will certainly be even more difficult to obtain permits for privately owned gas stations in a few years.

When Dawei received the gas station license from his second uncle, he was surprised to find that his second aunt, who was sitting on the sofa, had a bulging belly, which meant she was obviously pregnant!

"Auntie, congratulations!" Yu Dawei hadn't seen this woman who had come from behind for a long time. Although she was pregnant, it didn't stop her from wearing brightly colored clothes.

However, she stopped smoking. Not only did she stop, but even her second uncle in the office stopped smoking. "Hehe, thank you." Dong Mingzhu smiled at Yu Dawei. She was right about him. In the past few years, without any powerful background to help him, Yu Dawei had made steady progress and grown stronger step by step.

If Hou Wanqiang is a tiger descending the mountain, Yu Dawei is more like an ox pioneering new land, making steady progress and keeping pace with the times. Even if he misses some opportunities, he seizes what he can.

This is what Dong Mingzhu admires most about Yu Dawei: he is very clear about what he wants.

"Have you named the child yet?" Yu Dawei asked with a smile.

"The baby is only four months old, we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet." Hou Wanqiang got up and led Yu Dawei out of the office.

As soon as he stepped outside, Hou Wanqiang couldn't resist lighting a cigarette for himself.

Yu Dawei knew that his second uncle, a heavy smoker, could not possibly quit smoking so easily.

"Why haven't I heard from my third uncle lately?" Yu Dawei turned his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Someone has their eye on the oil city and wants a piece of it. Your third uncle is dealing with these matters right now." Hou Wanqiang exhaled a puff of smoke and led Yu Dawei to the second-floor terrace, tapping the railing with two fingers. "The oil city is highly valued by the higher-ups. It has made a lot of money from various projects, and the oil itself can create great value for the city."

"In the past two years, the oil city has become a hot commodity for all the construction company owners in the surrounding area. They all want to get on good terms with the government and eventually get a share of the profits."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei's lips curled into a cold smile: "If you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step. I clearly remember that four years ago, the leaders of the oil city did an investment promotion. It seems that there were only four companies in total, big and small. And it was all thanks to you, Second Uncle, that they were brought in."

"At the time, the oil city plan prioritized oil, while other things like construction were secondary, and the funding was not much. No one would be foolish enough to come."

My second uncle took another drag of his cigarette, finally suppressing the urge to smoke: "You should have realized by now that there aren't many people in this society who have a long-term vision."

"Most people succeed partly because of luck and partly because they were born into a good family. To put it bluntly, it's all about good luck."

Yu Dawei nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with this.

"Get the gas station deal done as soon as possible. When construction is needed, get all the big guys together. Don't delay. While there's still a chance, get as many as you can. Opportunities don't wait for anyone." Hou Wanqiang paused here, looking at Yu Dawei with a smile in his eyes. "When you have some free time these few days, I'll introduce you to someone."

"Who is it?" Yu Dawei raised an eyebrow, his face full of curiosity.

My second uncle never introduces me to the resources he knows, including important leaders.

In my second uncle's words, there was no need. He had already built a very good relationship with them, and they could just ask him for anything they needed.

What Yu Dawei needs to do is continue to expand his network. This way, the two of them will have less overlap, which will allow them to create more value in the future.

"This person, nicknamed 'Little Zhuge,' is also from our hometown of Minquan. However, I managed to poach him from another construction company by chance."

When my second uncle got to this point, his eyes gleamed, and he said with a hint of admiration and emotion, "This guy is awesome!"
