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

Chapter 544 Little Zhuge

When Yu Dawei heard the words "Little Zhuge," a slender figure immediately came to mind.

Yes, it's 2000 now, it's time for him to appear.

Xiao Zhuge, whose real name is Chen Qing, is not much older than Yu Dawei, according to his memory.

The biggest contributor to Wanqiang Group's future dominance in the oil city and its becoming a well-known conglomerate in the oil city and even the entire Heilongjiang Province is this guy nicknamed "Little Zhuge Liang".

This person is not only quick-witted, but also extremely skilled at scheming and plotting, making him an indispensable right-hand man to my second uncle.

Judging by his position, he was undoubtedly Hou Wanqiang's most powerful strategist.

To succeed in the business world, one must first guard against falling into traps set by others, and secondly, learn to set traps for others. Although my second and third uncles each have their strengths, they are still lacking in tactical skills.

With Little Zhuge Chenqing around, Second Uncle's future in Oil City is basically secure.

There may still be some turmoil for a while, but once Chen Qing's abilities are fully revealed, it's estimated that not only in the oil city, but also in other cities, the bigwigs will show Hou Wanqiang some respect.

"Anyone who can be called 'Little Zhuge' must be an extraordinary person. I'll definitely come and visit when I have time," Yu Dawei said politely before driving away from the Wanqiang Group headquarters.

Wanqiang Group's headquarters are located in the very center of the development zone. It would take Yu Dawei about twenty minutes to drive from here to National Highway 301.

When he arrived, the renovation team and the advertising company were already waiting, and Yao Jinfu was also there, organizing the advertising company people to hang the signboard on the top of the warehouse.

"Move to the left! Move the character '大' to the left! Can't you tell left from right?!" Yao Jinfu stood below, watching the young man at the top keep moving the large red character to the right, and he was completely exasperated.

"Why are you throwing such a tantrum? You're obviously just a newbie apprentice." Yu Dawei reached out from behind Yao Jinfu and gently patted his shoulder.

"Hey bro, you're finally here! Who introduced you to this advertising company? It's a total rip-off!" Yao Jinfu saw Yu Dawei as if he were the head of a family and started complaining non-stop. "These bastards are all novices! Just now, when they were pulling the character 'xiu' up, they made it fall down! They almost hit the people sitting in the shade next to us."

"The handwriting is of good quality, but the work is done too carelessly." Yao Jinfu was speechless.

In the past two years, I have mentored several apprentices, and none of them have been as impetuous as these young people.

Yu Dawei's face darkened: "I'll call the advertising company boss. I don't think we'll settle this final payment."

He saw the advertising company on the roadside when he passed through the Sa District. He felt that the other party had done a good job of making their brand, and the store was not small, so he believed them. He didn't expect that they were all complete novices.

After Yu Dawei got through on the phone, he sprayed the other party's boss under the shade of a tree for more than half an hour, and finally managed to wipe out two-thirds of the final payment.

After achieving his goal, Yu Dawei tried to calm himself down. After all, you can encounter all sorts of people in business, from those pretending to be experts to those pretending to be bosses. Yu Dawei had seen plenty of such people in his past life, let alone now.

Fortunately, only four characters were welded to the top of the warehouse, which was then repaired.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been any technical difficulties, but Yu Dawei still climbed onto the roof to keep an eye on these greenhorns and offered some guidance while they were welding before the matter was considered settled.

Next came the interior renovation of the warehouse. The renovation company workers were getting impatient, but Yu Dawei wasn't in a hurry. He figured he could wait if he could, and if he couldn't, he could just get lost.

Do you think that just because your business card says "So-and-so Decoration Company," you're really part of a big, reputable company?
It's just a few renovation teams coming together, sticking together and working side by side.

Some are even just a few relatives who opened a shop together and named it a "decoration company".

The same principle applies to advertising shops transforming into advertising companies.

Fortunately, the owner of the decoration company was quite mild-mannered and didn't show any displeasure even after waiting for a long time. After the lettering was finally hung up, he followed Yu Dawei to the warehouse.

When Yu Dawei acquired this land, there were two warehouses on it, but the overall area was not large. The two warehouses together were less than 200 square meters, and each one was only about 100 square meters on average.

In his past life, Yu Dawei was broke, so he rented a warehouse. He made a simple partition with wooden boards at the back of the warehouse, and put a double bed in the back. The three of them lived with a bunch of metal lumps.

Every day, Yu Dawei had to endure the smell of gasoline. He couldn't even cook in the warehouse because of the volatile gasoline fumes. He worried that if he lit a fire there, it might cause an explosion. Even with the windows open for ventilation, Yu Dawei was still worried.

So all they could do was build a makeshift stove out of mud bricks at the entrance, put a big pot on it, and then nail a square plastic shed around it.

In winter, the cooking fumes prevent it from feeling cold, and in summer, even after removing the plastic shed, it's not too hot.

More than a year passed, and one day the warehouse landlord suddenly approached him, saying that a developer had taken a liking to the land and wanted to buy it.

His family's warehouse was naturally included, just like when Yu Dawei bought this thirty-acre plot of land some time ago.

Then that winter, Yu Dawei and his family left in disgrace.

Now, not only do the two warehouses belong to Yu Dawei, but the entire thirty-acre area is his to do as he pleases and to live there as long as he wants.

When he's had enough of living there, he can easily sell it for more money than he has now.

Standing at the forefront of this infrastructure boom, Yu Dawei can lie here and his pockets will keep accumulating wealth.

So, according to my second uncle, is buying this place a bad deal? No! If you have money, you can easily make a fortune by buying any piece of land in a big city.

Moreover, there are many ways to make money, and reselling land is only the worst way to make money.

What Yu Dawei wants to do is to learn from that developer from his previous life and build a gas station at this intersection. Then, whenever a large bus comes by, it will definitely need to refuel.

After all, there are only two gas stations between the source station and here. One is government-run and is definitely more expensive than a private gas station like theirs. They fill up at their own station simply to save money.

This time, Yu Dawei will not let his wife and children live with tools such as wrenches, tripods, and air pumps.

The two warehouses were renovated; one was converted into a repair shop, and the other was furnished as a residence.
