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

Chapter 587 Going to the Grain Depot to Negotiate with Director Yang

The People's Bank of China's loan came through quickly. In addition, other banks also lent Yu Dawei some money, but the People's Bank of China was the biggest contributor, helping Yu Dawei raise three hundred. With this loan, he didn't even need to use his current savings.

Three days later, Yu Dawei purchased some of Qin Yourong and Fang Jing's assets under his own name before the asset auction.

First, there's the warehouse in the north of Sa District and all the mechanical parts inside, and then there's Fang Jing's fifty acres of land in Qinglong Mountain.

Finally, there's Qin Yourong's property in the third section of the new village, a four-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom apartment.

After settling the asset issue, Yu Dawei first treated his second uncle, third uncle, Little Zhuge Chenqing, Fourth Baldy, Qi Daduzi, and other members of his second uncle's gang to a meal.

Second Uncle also put a lot of effort into Fang Jing's matter. According to Qi Da Duzi, that night, Second Uncle was afraid that something might happen to Yu Dawei, so he sent him and Si Tuzi to secretly follow him. In case something really happened, they could rush up to protect Yu Dawei immediately.

The most dangerous moment was when the group of thugs rushed over with knives, but by then the government officials had also arrived, so they didn't actively get involved.

As it turned out, everything was just right.

When Qi Dadu and the others heard that Yu Dawei had acquired fifty acres of land in Qinglong Mountain, the expressions on their faces were incredibly interesting. Even the third uncle, who usually didn't show much emotion, raised an eyebrow at Yu Dawei.

Anyone in the real estate circle of the oil city knows how difficult it is to acquire land in the Qinglong Mountain area.

It seems the government really didn't let Yu Dawei suffer this time.

After the dinner, Yu Dawei made a special trip to Qinglong Mountain.

His fifty acres of land were right across from the construction building. It was a cluster of ordinary houses in a wasteland next to a cement road. Cars couldn't drive in there, and the roads between the houses were very narrow, probably less than two meters wide.

Yu Dawei parked his car at the intersection. There was a very muddy downhill road outside the group of bungalows. The vehicle could probably drive through, but Yu Dawei felt it was unnecessary. He just wanted to go down and take a look.

The houses here are slightly better than those in the countryside. Most of them are made of red bricks, and a few are made of rammed earth. No one has a yard. The houses are basically next to each other, but they are arranged without any rules, as if they were never intended to last long when they were built.

Yu Dawei walked along the muddy path, his feet already soaked in mud. Following his past memories, he bypassed a low-lying puddle, walked along the winding path, and finally saw a very small house in the third row of houses.

The house was made of rammed earth on the outside, and inside was a kitchen of less than five square meters. To get into the inner room, you had to go around the stove. The gift was a 2-meter by 2.3-meter heated kang bed, which was just enough for a family of three to live in.

Yu Dawei still remembers that the house would leak when it rained in the summer, and the plastic sheet on the roof would always catch a lot of muddy yellow water.

Then, after the rainy season, the house became unbearably hot, and the kitchen ceiling was swarming with flies, as was the ceiling in the inner room. Every day, Han Jingfan would take a file and a broom to sweep down the flies and mosquitoes and throw them outside.

At that time, he couldn't even afford a screen window.

Yu Dawei stared at the mud-brick house in front of him, subconsciously wiping the corner of his right eye. Many times, he felt that he was the one who made things difficult for himself, including his relationships.

Back then, he was young and arrogant, always looking down on Han Jingfan for being uneducated, unlike himself who had graduated from high school. He constantly complained about Han Jingfan, and it seems that it was from that time that he stopped tolerating himself and started flirting with other women. Although it was all just flirting, it caused even more trouble for Han Jingfan's already sensitive personality.

It was from this point that Han Jingfan's mental state became precarious. In addition, Yu Dawei received a letter from his first love when they got married. All of this combined made Han Jingfan constantly suspicious of himself.

“Everything has a traceable cause…” Yu Dawei sighed inwardly. The ending of the story is not unknown, but rather the cause and effect of each event in the process.

"Squeak." Just then, the door to the next room opened, and a young girl came out carrying a basin of water.

"Who are you looking for?" She was taken aback when she saw Yu Dawei standing at the door, and then stared at him with some wariness.

"Just passing by." Yu Dawei glanced at the girl, then looked at the mud-brick house on Qinglong Mountain where he used to live, sighed in his heart, and turned to leave.

Qinglong Mountain was where Yu Dawei lived when he was at his lowest point, just like the basement where his eldest son lived when he was at his lowest point in Kyoto.

Every generation has its own place of hardship.

In this lifetime, Yu Dawei will drive up the price of Qinglong Mountain to an astronomical level, turning it from something worthless into the most valuable CBD!

Before leaving the oil city, Yu Dawei went to the G301 national highway again to explain some things to Monkey before returning to his base in Luhe.

With the departure of Fang Jing and other channel owners in Heilongjiang Province, Yu Dawei's Fanfan Repair Shop has firmly established itself in the province in terms of auto parts. Auto parts stores in cities such as Qiqihar, Harbin, and Youcheng have begun to actively contact Yu Dawei.

Even the parts store that had previously severed business ties with the company started personally driving over to apologize.

Unfortunately, Yu Dawei hasn't been at the repair shop at all these days. Some people who tried to mend their relationship with Boss Liang have also failed and have to leave in a sorry state.

Yu Dawei has also begun planning the latest developments in accessories.

He wants to handle both the high-end parts that Mr. Ye distributes and the domestic parts, but unlike before, this time he wants to be the sole distributor himself.

Yu Dawei took a few days to contact several large domestic car manufacturers and personally visited them to try to obtain the agency rights for the parts.

For example, there are Xiali cars, Tianjin bread vans, Jiefang cars, and tricycles, such as the popular Shifeng tricycles, etc.

Yu Dawei is making contacts and trying to obtain the agency rights.

Previously, when faced with the betrayal by a domestic brand agent, Yu Dawei had thought about it but hadn't given it serious consideration. He assumed that since they had been cooperating for so long, the other party wouldn't betray him.

But the result was that they betrayed him thoroughly. It was only then that Yu Dawei realized that he needed to firmly grasp not only high-end brands, but also low-end brands and domestic independent brands.

Regarding the distribution of construction machinery parts, Yu Dawei did not proactively contact domestic brands such as LiuGong and Lingong. This was mainly because the future market would make the construction machinery parts business extremely difficult; Yu Dawei would spend considerable effort accumulating and selling inventory, only to end up with nothing.
So currently, it seems that car and transport vehicle parts can be made. If the market is not good later, Yu Dawei can also transform the car parts business into car accessories, which is equivalent to moving from hard furnishings to soft furnishings.

After resolving the parts issue, Yu Dawei began distributing year-end bonuses to the drivers of the construction vehicles, having a dinner party, and finally giving them a holiday.

In Northeast China, frost has already appeared by the end of October or November, and the permafrost layer has formed, so all engineering projects have been suspended.

From November to March after the Lunar New Year, drivers can take a good rest. Of course, if they want to continue working in the factory like Sun Shunli and Yao Jinfu, that's also an option, it depends on the individual.

After settling the commissions of each master craftsman, Yu Dawei took the opportunity to plan the recruitment for next year with Fu Zi and Sun Shunli. Once everything was settled, Yu Dawei finally found time to visit Duan Dahai.

Yu Dawei had been paying close attention to the grain depot's rectification. When he arrived at the flour mill but didn't see Duan Dahai, he contacted him by phone and then drove to Boss Liang's company.

Around 10 a.m., when Dawei arrived at Mr. Liang's company, he found the two men installing partitions in a small cubicle.

Upon seeing Yu Dawei arrive, the two men handed him a wall-painting roller and a sailboat hat folded from a newspaper without saying a word.

"Aren't you two... so free?" Yu Dawei stood at the narrow doorway, frowning. He had been so busy these past few days that he was practically running around like a headless chicken, but these two bastards had neglected everything else and had set up this little secret room.

Is there anything to do with this... um...

When Dawei walked in, he was shocked by the life-sized female mannequin. The mannequin was clearly custom-made, a one-to-one replica of Rosamund Kwan's face, and her skin wasn't the kind of plastic skin you see in shopping malls.

By today's standards, these lifelike models are already comparable to some future dolls.

"Impressive, isn't it? Doesn't it look incredibly real? But those eyes and nose still look too plasticky." Boss Liang stood in front of "Rosamund Kwan," reached out and tapped her eyeballs twice, readjusting his gaze that had been slightly off-target.

"Where did you get this? If my sister-in-law finds out, you're in big trouble." Yu Dawei walked around the model twice. At first glance, it was amazing, but upon closer inspection, it still looked very plasticky. But the level was already quite good.

"Hehe, it was Huaijin who introduced me to this. There are people in Kyoto who specialize in this." Boss Liang squatted down again and installed square grids on the wall next to him. "As for your sister-in-law, there are no problems. I've already tricked her into sealing off the secret room. When I change the position of the door later, she definitely won't be able to find it."

Yu Dawei was speechless for a moment, only able to say that a man is a boy until he dies. He squatted down to help paint the wall and looked at Duan Dahai: "Brother Duan, how's the grain depot situation?"

“The grain depot is definitely going to make a big move. The day before yesterday, the leaders from Luhe came to me. They basically said they hoped I could provide a guarantee for the people at the grain depot.” Duan Dahai inserted the square wooden board into the pre-set groove and said, “You know, the grain depot is the most suitable place for people to come to the flour mill to buy dry goods, but I can’t accept them all. I can’t handle it all.”

"So the leaders will be coming to see me in a couple of days, right?" Yu Dawei nodded, his hands still busy with his work.

The same process was used when arranging laid-off workers. Yu Dawei's repair shop also had a threshold for hiring, so when choosing employment, the leaders would give priority to arranging people to work at Duan Dahai's flour mill.

"So, does that mean we can try to contact the people at the grain depot?" Yu Dawei turned to Duan Dahai and asked.

He is now extremely eager to find talent for the grain depot's accounting department. Da Feng should be leaving soon, so we need to make preparations in advance.

In addition to sharing her accounting work, she also needed to find a general manager in charge of parts and components.

Currently, there are two young women working under Dafeng in the parts department. They have been working there for several years, but they are not experienced enough in handling affairs and do not have the same overall perspective as Dafeng. In any case, Yu Dawei is not very satisfied.

“Okay, but I went to the grain depot a few days ago.” Duan Dahai stopped what he was doing and looked at Yu Dawei with a complicated expression. “Director Yang has a lot of complaints about us. When I went there, he didn’t even give me a drink.”

What can be done? We've offended them too badly.

It's fair to say that the flour mill severing ties with the grain depot was the final straw that broke the camel's back, which is why Lao Yang was so reluctant to give Duan Dahai a friendly look.

“I’ll give it a try.” Yu Dawei sighed. “On the one hand, my conflict with Lao Yang was relatively minor, except that the transport team had refused a few times. On the other hand, the leadership has given a clear signal, and Lao Yang must have received the signal as well. He can’t possibly refuse to cooperate.”

“Hmm, that makes sense.” Duan Dahai thought for a moment, then looked at Yu Dawei and reminded him again: “I also found out that the grain depot rectification will not be quick this time, so the speed of the decision-making at the lower level actually depends entirely on how the management handles it. If he really doesn’t want to let go, there’s nothing anyone can do in the short term.”

"You need to be careful about this; try to avoid direct conflict with him."

"Is that so..." Yu Dawei frowned. This was definitely not good news. Many workers might lose their enthusiasm for work because of this slow and inefficient process. They would definitely not be able to work again later.

Duan Dahai must have considered this point as well. Once people get used to living a life of leisure, those who want to improve themselves and make money will become incredibly lazy.

This is also why he has been working for Boss Liang here these past few days—to change his environment and his mood.

His superiors wanted him to recruit people, but he couldn't just recruit anyone. In addition, his relationship with Lao Yang, the head of the grain depot, was very strained. For a while, Duan Dahai didn't know how to solve this problem.

People insisted that the grain depot was doing very well, and that there had been no changes from above, so Duan Dahai couldn't do anything about it.

"This afternoon, I'll go to the grain depot this afternoon." Yu Dawei made up his mind to get the grain depot accountant over first, no matter what.

After the three of them had lunch, Yu Dawei drove to the grain depot at 2 p.m. sharp.

The granary is located in the northwest of the town center. After passing the central school, walk one more street and you will see an open gate.

The gateposts are two rectangular concrete structures, and the gate itself is made of steel pipes welded with wire mesh.

Yu Dawei drove in without any obstruction.
