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

Chapter 568 Me? I've never been afraid of anyone!
"We're all here today to get an explanation from you." Feeling that simply staring at Yu Dawei was humiliating, the blond-haired man turned and went to the pile of parts, dismantling a piece of metal. His arrogance only increased: "These parts are all defective! They're all steel on the outside, but mixed with cement inside! Is this how you, the biggest parts distributor in the province, do business!"

"Now the whole industry in the province knows about this. I'm warning you, if you don't pay us back today, I'm not done with you!" The blond-haired man got angrier and angrier, and his words and actions became more and more unrestrained. He pointed his finger at Yu Dawei's nose and continued to yell.

"Finished?" Yu Dawei asked again when he saw that the other party was repeating the same two sentences. When the other party was about to say more, he had no time to listen. He reached out and grabbed the other party's index finger, snapped it with a crack, and then kicked the other party in the lower abdomen.

Amidst the painful howls, Huang Mao instinctively knelt on the ground, trembling with pain.

Those who came to Yu Dawei to demand an explanation were all stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

None of them had ever heard of Mr. Yu, the general distributor of the parts, having such a violent side.

"I was originally going to have a nice talk with you guys and let you cleanse your filthy consciences, but now I've changed my mind." Yu Dawei didn't let go of Huang Mao's left hand with his right hand. He glanced at Zhang Huaijin beside him and gave him a look.

Zhang Huaijin had worked with Yu Dawei before, so he naturally understood what it meant. He turned around and ran to the conference room to call for more people.

"Some people are just born bad, the kind you can't cleanse yourself of." Yu Dawei saw that the blond-haired man was still trying to get up and fight back, so he kicked him in the stomach again. This time, the man could only curl up on the ground like a shrimp. "Didn't you want an explanation?"

Yu Dawei put down the blond-haired man, put his hands in his pockets, and his burly body exuded a violent aura, causing the seven or eight people opposite him to instinctively take a step back: "I'll give you an explanation!"

"Whether this batch of goods came from Boss Liang or from me, since you've come to me, I have to give you an explanation." Yu Dawei coldly swept his gaze over everyone. At that moment, a group of repairmen behind him also ran to the front door and surrounded everyone.

"Mr. Yu, what do you mean by this! We just came to discuss the parts issue with you, and you, you come here and start hitting people! You even surrounded all of us! Do you know that you're committing a crime?" A middle-aged man in the crowd couldn't help but speak up. He didn't want to end up like Huang Mao, getting kicked by Yu Dawei.

“That’s right, Mr. Yu. We’re just here to discuss things with you. There’s no need to make things so tense.” Seeing that another colleague of his had also spoken up, Sui Qiang no longer hesitated and stepped out of the crowd to look at Yu Dawei with a smile.

Qin Yourong's goal was to amplify the impact of the matter, make Yu Dawei feel overwhelmed, and ultimately ruin the market. To put it bluntly, they were there to draw attention away from the situation. If they really had a major conflict with Yu Dawei, it would be very detrimental to their subsequent plans.

Sui Qiang's plan was clear: let the conflict exist, let Yu Dawei focus on solving the immediate problem, and when the second and third batches of parts entered the market, the entire supply of parts that Yu Dawei represented would break down, and he would become infamous, just like that Boss Liang.

"No, no, no! This is just my way of doing things. If you want me to solve the problem, then let's solve it together." Yu Dawei turned to Lao Ji and the others and instructed them, "Please have them wait in the conference room. I'll call the police right now and get the authorities to investigate the parts issue."

"All the parts! First! I need to identify which one is from my company. Second! For any part that is from my company, I must investigate where the problem lies, which process went wrong, so that I can give you an explanation!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the seven or eight people who were surrounded turned deathly pale, and some even began to regret their words on the spot.

"No way! I still have business to run at home. I can't afford to waste time with you. I'm leaving!"

"Exactly! Keep these parts and investigate them yourself. What kind of nonsense is this, trapping us here!"

"That's right, I don't have many parts, so I don't care how long it takes to investigate."

But Yu Dawei ignored what these people said, watching as they were forcibly taken away one by one by the factory's repairmen. Finally, the blond-haired man on the ground was also dragged into the conference room.

"Old Ji! Take turns watching them 24 hours a day. Tell the brothers what to do. If anyone manages to keep an eye on them and they run away, I'll make them regret it!" Yu Dawei turned his gaze from the conference room to Old Ji.

"Understood!" Old Ji nodded seriously, then hesitated slightly and asked softly, "Boss, but won't detaining someone cause us trouble?"

"Trouble? You've got these people all under control, how could there be any trouble?" Yu Dawei glanced coldly at the pile of worn-out parts. "Besides, I was going to ask the authorities to investigate this matter anyway, and these people are waiting for the investigation. They came to me in a great hurry, of course they want to know the results as soon as possible, don't they?"

"Well, alright." Old Ji smiled sheepishly. Once they arrived in Luhe Town, they couldn't help but be anxious.

Yu Dawei returned to the small brick house and began to plan his next move. Qin Yourong had made another move, and there was likely more to come, so he had to be on guard.

Moreover, he felt that the government had to intervene. He always felt that Fang Jing had a lot of counterfeit goods in his possession, and that he was producing junk parts in China to carry out his strategic plan against him.

But he can't put these junk parts on the market himself, at least not in a way that reveals the problem once they're sold.

Furthermore, given that the other party seemed very familiar with import and export trade, Yu Dawei had reason to suspect that the other party had obtained some parts from him by going against the wishes and methods of the officials.

"It's not easy to find out the location of the other party's import and export warehouse. Qin Yourong, Fang Jing himself, and the people around them should know."

Yu Dawei sat at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed), his right hand resting on the kang table. As the saying goes, strike the snake at its seven-inch spot. Since Fang Jing and Qin Yourong wanted to kill him, he had to find their weakness and strike them to victory.

Just as Dawei was pondering what to do, Dafeng and Zhang Huaijin hurriedly entered from outside the door.

"Big Brother, something's happened again. Mr. Xu, the boss of the low-end parts supplier we work with, suddenly called me just now and said he's refusing to cooperate with us anymore." Da Feng's face was all scrunched up, and his bangs were soaked with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.

"Don't worry, it's expected." Yu Dawei didn't react after hearing Da Feng's words.

Mr. Xu is a distributor of low-end auto parts in North and Northeast China, mainly dealing in domestic auto parts and niche foreign brands.

Although it was a niche brand, it became a well-known car brand more than a decade later. However, the other party was shady, and the profit margin on the generic parts I got was relatively low.

At this time, various things happened to Yu Dawei. Given Boss Xu's cunning and shrewd nature, he must have realized that something was wrong with him and that someone was trying to get him.

It's impossible for me to retain the parts distribution rights for the entire Northeast region, so I'll just have to give it up.

Previously, Yu Dawei didn't take the parts business seriously because he knew all too well that sales of both construction machinery parts and auto parts would plummet after 2016.

This is not a business issue, it's a matter of historical trends.

In the future, many manufacturers will collaborate with 4S dealerships for after-sales service. There are also dedicated after-sales service channels for construction machinery. Furthermore, with the continuous upgrading of electric vehicles' intelligence in China, the ultimate result will be the ruthless obsolescence of spare parts. Those that will remain competitive will be car accessories—changing car mats, waxing, applying window tinting, replacing headlights, and so on…

This can be understood as the future market for automotive parts shifting from hard furnishings to soft furnishings.

Yu Dawei originally planned to let Dafeng manage the parts business until she got married, and he would help out for a few more years before quitting.

But right now there are just too many clowns blocking the road and preventing Yu Dawei from passing, which only fuels his competitive spirit!
Since that's the case, he'll take this opportunity to reorganize the parts business and squeeze these bastards out of business!
"By the way, Dafeng, Huaijin is coming this time, aren't you going to take him home to visit?" Yu Dawei put aside the previous topic and instead looked at the two of them with a smile.

Especially at times like these, we must not lose our composure; we must remain calm!

The reason his company went bankrupt so quickly in his past life was partly due to his own problems and partly due to external machinations. Having learned his lesson, Yu Dawei will not make the same mistake again.

"Ah, this..." Dafeng was stunned by the question. She hadn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days because of the parts issue, and hadn't thought about this at all.

“I arranged for Dad to go home a while ago, and Mom has been busy sewing shoe soles.” Yu Dawei got up and took out a red envelope from the safe in the inner room and handed it over. “I have to take care of things here, so I won’t be able to go back with you. Huaijin, this is a little something.”

"I prepared this after we came back from the south. I guessed back then that you two would probably get together."

"No, no, no! Brother, let's leave it at that! It's unacceptable for the man to go to the woman's house to receive a red envelope." Zhang Huaijin was clearly a little embarrassed. The carefree guy from back then now seemed like a respectable scholar.

“I don’t know what the rules are in other places, but as the eldest brother, I’m giving you this red envelope in the hope that you will treat my sister well in the future. She’s the smartest one in our family. Don’t bully her after she marries into the family.” Yu Dawei has seen Da Feng’s hard work over the years, and now he feels a little reluctant to see her marry far away. “Feng’er, on your wedding day, I will give you another big gift.”

“Go on, go on, go back to the village and buy more things. Your parents have been criticized for years because of your wedding. This time, you have to make it a grand occasion and save face for them.”

"But..." Da Feng's stubbornness was about to flare up, and she didn't want to leave at this moment.

Fortunately, Zhang Huaijin realized that his elder brother didn't want Dafeng to continue to be anxious, so he quickly reached out to stop him: "Then it's settled. We'll come back immediately after we visit the two elders."

Yu Dawei watched the two leave Fanfan Repair Shop. He had arranged for the old man to go home some time ago. One reason was that someone needed to be there for the autumn harvest, and another was that the old man's condition had not been good since Old Xu left, and he seemed increasingly lonely.

This is not a good thing; it would be better to let him go back to the village and stay there for a while.

Now that Da Feng has been sent away, Yu Dawei is finally free of burdens. Otherwise, he would always be afraid that Fang Jing would harm the people around him.

Afterwards, Yu Dawei first went to Brother Duan's place, then found Boss Liang, and finally went to the government together to demand an explanation, since he couldn't let the grievance of being blocked at the door today go to waste.

Moreover, Yu Dawei also provided the officials with a new idea: the market is currently flooded with all sorts of counterfeit accessories, which have completely disrupted the market. The officials could start from this aspect.

Finally, the top official of Luhe Town directly dispatched his capable subordinate to assist Yu Dawei in investigating the fraud committed by Boss Liang and the rampant counterfeit parts in the market.

Surprisingly, the person in charge this time was still Officer Hao. Not only that, but Officer Zhao, who was Officer Hao's apprentice, also assisted in the investigation.

Since they were acquaintances, Yu Dawei brought Officer Hao and Officer Zhao along when he had lunch with Boss Liang. However, Officer Hao looked worried at the table.

"You three have really given me a big job this time. I can help you investigate fraud, but investigating counterfeit accessories on the market is too difficult. I only have the ability to investigate this small area." Officer Hao was quite happy when he first heard about the assignment, after all, it was related to Yu Dawei.

Based on past experience, whenever something involves Yu Dawei, he always manages to inexplicably receive some intangible benefits afterward.

But this assigned task really put the director in a difficult position.

“Chief, don’t feel sorry for yourself. According to our three estimates, the people who got these fake parts on the market are probably the same group who cheated Boss Liang.” Yu Dawei offered to pour water for the other party. “Could you take a look at the parts in Boss Liang’s warehouse and the parts that were returned to me this morning? We’ll investigate them slowly later.”

"We also have a plan here. We hope you can consult with your colleagues in other places and make things easier for us." Yu Dawei's words were very cryptic. His goal was to resolve the matter himself, and then have the government officials come and take over.

There are some things that officials must do according to the rules, but Yu Dawei and Liang Hongwei have suffered so much humiliation, it would be unreasonable not to retaliate.

"Alright! Just let me know if you have any news." Officer Hao stopped dwelling on the topic.

After the meal, he and his apprentice began their investigation, and also interrogated the seven or eight people that Yu Dawei had "invited" to the lounge, hoping to uncover something.

Over the next two days, Yu Dawei and Duan Dahai began helping Lao Liang visit each household. For those who wanted to return goods, Boss Liang checked the previous purchase orders and took the goods back.

Of course, returns are possible, but future cooperation is absolutely out of the question.

In addition, the money Li Fubao gave him also covered all the debts that Lao Liang had borrowed from outside.

What's rather surprising is that after some people learned that Lao Liang had become wealthy, they stopped rushing to collect their debts and instead waited for Boss Liang to come to them.

These people were actually quite familiar with Lao Liang. Some were friends he got along well with, some were relatives, and some were former customers from his business dealings.

Everyone had heard about how Boss Liang was forced to jump into the river, and they were all a little embarrassed.

Some of them, after repaying the money, even took the initiative to treat others to a meal and sincerely apologized.

It can only be said that people have a thousand faces, and naturally, a kind side exists as well.
