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

Chapter 604 Emergency Rescue: The Hook Crushes the Car

Of course, Yu Dawei also kept in mind the matter of trying to match Secretary Wan with Xiaobai, not wanting Xiaobai to become a lonely person.

Yu Dawei had his own ideas about going to Qingcheng. He planned to bring his whole family to Huang Man's wedding and spend the New Year together in the south.

My parents have never traveled far in their lives. Although they may go to Hohhot in two or three years to take care of Er Yan and Da Sheng's children, that's all they'll ever go in their lives.

China is a vast country with abundant resources, and Yu Dawei plans to take his parents on a trip while they are still in good health.

Yu Dawei hasn't discussed this matter with the old man yet. He plans to wait until the gas station finds a suitable store manager before discussing it with him when he returns.

There are two things to do right now: one is to find a suitable person to be the manager of the gas station, and the other is to wait for the annual meeting held by the Eighth Bureau in advance. After the commission arrives, Yu Dawei plans to buy himself a new car and then take his family to the south.

Yu Dawei didn't just sit idly by when it came to recruiting a store manager for the gas station. He took the initiative to contact Qi Daduzi, Si Tuzi, and others, asking them to help arrange it if they saw a suitable candidate.

The repair shop next to the gas station has been looked after by Monkey and a few temporary apprentices. So far, business is not as good as expected. However, by the end of this year, the repair shop should be able to recover the labor costs and rent costs invested.

That's right, Yu Dawei rented out the repair shop to himself separately, at the same price he paid in his previous life, eight hundred yuan a month.

This way, when calculating costs later, Yu Dawei can clearly see how the costs and profits are.

Although the house and the land belong to him, Yu Dawei did not conflate them. He simplified the complex matters as much as possible, treating each piece of land separately, which made it very easy to calculate costs and profits.

The gas station wasn't doing much business, so Yu Dawei decided to leave his office and go to the repair shop. He noticed that the number of large vehicles being repaired had increased significantly recently, thanks to the various constructions and renovations of highways, provincial roads, and national roads over the past two years.

"Boss, quickly contact the guys at the oil city branch. A driver here said there's been a rear-end collision between a large truck and a small car on the Honggang Expressway, and they need off-road rescue!"

As Yu Dawei walked towards the entrance of Dawei Repair Shop, about twenty or thirty meters away, Monkey, wearing a black dog-skin hat, came running over, his hands covered in black, greasy dirt from repairing cars.

"Honggang?!" Yu Dawei's expression showed slight surprise. There was a rather long overpass on the highway over there. If an accident happened and the car overturned, wouldn't the car and the people fall down together?

"How is he? Is he alright?" Yu Dawei asked as he took out his phone and quickly dialed the number of the equipment factory in Rangkulu District.

Now, Yu Dawei has turned the equipment factory into a second large repair shop. However, because of its poor location, surrounded by barren meadows, business is sometimes not as good as the repair shops on the monkey's side.

So the main focus there is stockpiling goods; selling parts and repairing vehicles are secondary. As a result, there aren't many people there. A small team of five people is equipped with two minivans, which are used specifically for wilderness rescue.

Only wilderness rescue can earn you a little money.

"Hey, Lao Zhu, take two people with you..." Yu Dawei looked at the monkey, indicating that he should give the specific address.

"Ah! Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll go get that driver guy." The monkey turned and ran off.

Yu Dawei followed them toward the repair shop. There were two large trucks at the entrance of the repair shop. One was a red Xiali, and two apprentices were disassembling the engine of the Xiali. As for the two trucks, one was patching a tire and the other was adding antifreeze.

"Honggang is next to the nearest highway exit on the West Trunk Line, about ten kilometers north." The driver of the antifreeze truck jumped out and ran with the monkey to Yu Dawei to explain.

"Did you hear that? The highway section over there on the West Trunk Line, head north..." Yu Dawei looked at the dense dark clouds on the horizon, thought for a moment and then spoke again, "How about this, Lao Zhu, drive the van over and take me with you, hurry up."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dawei glanced at the overcast sky again. It was only 10 a.m., but there was no sunshine at all. He was a little worried that it might snow on the road.

There wasn't much work at the gas stations on either side, so let's go check them out.

About twenty minutes later, a tan-colored van pulled up in front of the repair shop, and a middle-aged, overweight man got out of the driver's seat.

The other person was about 1.6 meters tall, wearing black cotton-padded trousers and a cotton-padded jacket, with a blue mechanic's uniform over it. However, the size seemed to be a size too small, as both the trouser legs and the cuffs were a little short.

Upon seeing the monkey, the man took out a cigarette and the two greeted each other. It wasn't until Yu Dawei came out after changing into his work clothes that the man became more serious.

He walked up to Yu Dawei and helped him lift the toolbox: "Boss, is it a big truck or a small truck this time? I've brought all the tools."

"I don't find your tools convenient to use." Yu Dawei and Lao Zhu both held blade-type wrenches that they had matched themselves or bought from outside, which were easy to use and durable.

"Monkey, call Axe in a bit. He seems to be doing business with Shunli at the development zone rental market today. Tell them to come back tonight. I have something to discuss with them." After giving the instructions, Yu Dawei sat in the passenger seat of the van.

There was originally a young mechanic sitting in the passenger seat, but when he saw his boss arrive, he quickly gave up his seat and sat with another guy on the toolbox in the back of the van.

The monkey agreed, then watched Yu Dawei and the others leave, a cigarette dangling from its mouth.

Although he had to stay at the shop every day and wasn't as free as Lao Zhu and the others, he was very content. The operation of this repair shop was completely different from the owner's Fanfan Repair Shop system. It was a separate shop with its own accounting.

However, recently the accounts have all been put under one person's management. The boss even brought him over a few days ago. His surname is Yang. He doesn't talk much during meals, but he can hold his liquor quite well.

From now on, Accountant Yang will be in charge of all matters related to reconciliation and auditing at Dawei Repair Shop, and the boss may conduct random checks.

"Sigh, this place is still the best. I heard there are designated smoking areas in the factory." The monkey sighed, and just as he turned around to take another puff, he saw two apprentices violently dismantling the tires of a truck. He was immediately enraged, like a frightened monkey!
"Who the hell taught you to use the tip of a crowbar to stab tires like that! Are you all crazy?!" Monkey quickly snatched the crowbars from the two men, then exhaled smoke and stomped it out. "How many times have I told you, operate safely, operate safely! If such a big tire bursts, neither of you will survive!" Monkey was furious at their lack of awareness. These two brats said they could fix cars before the interview, and this is it? They have absolutely no safety consciousness.

Well, he thought he would have some free time, but now he has to teach these two kids again. As he spoke, he called over two other young men who worked on engines, intending to train them on safety awareness together.

Mr. Yu has been running his repair shop for at least six or seven years now, and he has always had a low accident rate. When Mr. Yu hired him, he made it very clear that this was done, and it was also written in the contract.

If any personal safety issues arise at Dawei Repair Shop, which he manages, the responsibility will be split 50/50, and all year-end performance bonuses will be cancelled. To put it bluntly, there can be absolutely no safety hazards.

Mr. Yu is very concerned about the safety awareness of his employees. In fact, in the past two years, all the employees in his management team have been insured by Mr. Yu, and the company has borne all the premiums.

The people Monkey knows are Yao Jinfu, Sun Shunli, Huang Man, Manager Ji, Yu Feng, Brother Tao, Monkey himself, and someone named Ben Jun.

That's about it. It's a very rare type of insurance, and the monkey was extremely grateful to Dawei for giving him one.

"That's enough for this morning. I'll give you a quick safety training session for the rest of the time. Don't take it lightly. You're dealing with these metal lumps every day; it wouldn't be surprising if you broke your arms or legs." The monkey gave the apprentices a cold look before walking into the repair shop, ready to take out the blackboard and give these reckless guys a good talking-to.

On the other side, Yu Dawei and his group headed straight for the Honggang Expressway. At this time, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Unlike the snowflakes of the past, this snow was falling in large flakes.

If you look closely at the snowflakes on the windshield that haven't melted yet, you can even see the hexagonal crystals on them.

"This snowfall might be quite heavy. Have you put on the anti-skid tires?" Yu Dawei sat in the passenger seat, watching the snowflakes melt in the warm air, and turned to look at the middle-aged man, Lao Zhu.

"They've been replaced. In late October, we put anti-skid tires on both rescue vehicles and changed the engine oil to brand new antifreeze." Old Zhu had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't dare to light it. First, his boss doesn't smoke, and second, smoking is not allowed in vans according to regulations.

After all, there were various tools and oxygen and acetylene cylinders behind them.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yu Dawei turned his head and glanced at the two mechanics sitting on the toolbox. He had seen these two before. They were both transferred from Fanfan Repair Shop, and one of them was even from their village, Heshan.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work." Both of them were young, just over twenty years old, and their families were urging them to get married. They were a little shy in front of their boss.

They are all from Luhe Town, but because of pressure to get married, they all managed to get the qualifications to work at the Youcheng Equipment Factory last year, instead of working at Fanfan Repair Shop.

“In two years, all the field rescue vans will be replaced with those larger box vans, and it will be much easier to go out on field missions then.” Yu Dawei smiled at the two of them. “This winter, I also ordered a batch of new military overcoats for you, as well as fur hats and hand guards. Wear them when you’re working outside.”

Yu Da felt he had suffered a lot of hardship in his past life. When he had a little money, he didn't just think about himself; he also had to take care of his brothers, providing for their food, clothing, shelter, and even helping them find partners in the future.

Of course, if it is possible.

The van traveled for another thirty minutes or so. The equipment factory in the oil city was located north of the city. The van was heading southwest for about an hour when it finally saw a large truck with its warning lights flashing in the distance.

"Slow down, slow down!" When Yu Dawei saw the truck for the first time, he sat up straight nervously and kept urging Lao Zhu next to him to drive slower.

Although the large truck in the distance wasn't on the overpass, it was still in a bad state. It had overturned at a corner of an intersection after exiting the highway, because it was turning.

There are two possibilities when a large truck overturns: one is that the cargo bed is too heavy and it cannot turn properly, and the other is that the ground is too slippery or the tires are too old.

Old Zhu was also a car repair expert. Back then, he was a government employee, just like Taozi and Lao Ji. Around the same time as Yu Dawei, he set his sights on the other party's upturned tire.

"Damn it, this bastard doesn't know to put on snow chains before driving in Northeast China?" When Old Zhu's van was 20 or 30 meters away from the truck, he could vaguely see the condition of the tires. They were obviously not anti-skid tires, and there were no anti-skid measures on the tires at all.

"Go around it and drive the car directly in front of the truck." Yu Dawei gestured to Lao Zhu. The snow was getting heavier, and he was thinking that they would need to put up a warning sign or a reflective cone at this intersection later. Luckily, they had a few in their van.

These are all things that Yu Dawei usually requires the van to carry, in order to avoid secondary accidents during rescue operations.

"Holy crap! There's another one!" Old Zhu was just about to go around when he spotted a black SUV at the intersection on the other side. He almost missed it and crashed into its rear! It was mainly because the snow was falling heavier and heavier, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Oh no, this car was crushed by a big truck! I wonder how the people inside are doing." Two young men in the back of the van got a general idea of ​​the situation of the black SUV next to them through the side window.

Several people were standing outside the SUV, some even with crowbars in hand, desperately trying to pry open the car door.

"Old Zhu, and you two, keep an eye on things later! The truck seems to be carrying either steel coils or some other kind of steel." Yu Dawei frowned, thought for a moment, and then dialed Axe's phone number.

"Hey, bro, what's up?" Yao Jinfu's voice came from the other end of the phone. Sun Shunli could be heard talking to someone nearby, as if they were discussing business.

"Keep your phone charged, don't turn it off. I'm here with Lao Zhu and the others for a wilderness rescue. The situation is a bit complicated, so wait for my call." Yu Dawei was a little worried that they might need an engineering vehicle to help. He mainly didn't know if the people from earlier had called, so he wanted to let Fu Zi know first.

Axe was using his old phone, the one his aunt had given him years ago. The battery was so low that he couldn't bear to replace it, and he wouldn't accept a new phone.

Yu Dawei bought new phones for Fu Zi, Lao Ji, Huang Man, and Yu Feng, but Yao Jinfu was a fool who insisted on continuing to use his old phone and gave the new one to Mi Yao.

Yu Dawei didn't want to say another word about their situation—they weren't going to get a marriage certificate and were still entangled in a relationship—it was too boring.
