Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 279 Easily Repaired
At this point, Liu Chunhua seemed to remember something and said to Wang Chengpeng:
"Cheng Peng, you really need to thank them properly, otherwise you wouldn't have had the opportunity to make so much money."

After hesitating for a moment, she added:
"If the equipment in the factory breaks down again, you'll have to give them a discount next time."

"After all, this sugar factory is benefiting our Wangjia Village and everyone in our village."

Although Wang Chengpeng himself said that he could fix the equipment in the factory, his family did not think of him as the all-powerful designer.

After all, design and manufacturing are completely different things from repair.
In addition, Wang Chengpeng had previously demonstrated his amazing repair skills on small household appliances such as radios, so when he said he could repair the equipment in the factory, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, in their eyes, if they could fix one of these metal lumps, they could definitely fix the other.
Little did they know that the difference in the value of these things was enormous.

Listening to his family's discussion, Wang Chengpeng smiled broadly and said:

"Okay, if you need me to repair equipment next time, I'll definitely give the factory a special discount."

At this point, Wang Chengpeng put down his chopsticks and said:

"I don't need this money right now, you can take it and use it first."

"To prevent others from being envious, don't tell anyone that I can repair equipment. Just keep it to yourselves."

"I'm going to the sugar factory now to fix the equipment as soon as possible so I can go home sooner."

This time, we're repairing a priceless piece of equipment, completely different from small, minor repairs like radios.

Everyone felt that even if Wang Chengpeng took action, it would take a long time, so they simply told him to "go quickly and come back quickly."

The Dapeng Sugar Factory was the most important place in Wangjia Village, guarded by countless militiamen. Wang Chengpeng himself was also quite powerful, so they weren't worried about his safety.

I'm just worried that Wang Chengpeng won't be able to fix it in a short time, and that it will exhaust me.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After putting the bowls and chopsticks back in the kitchen, Wang Chengpeng rode his old bicycle out the door.

It was already the height of summer, and the temperature had risen noticeably.

Listening to the cicadas chirping in the distance and feeling the night breeze blowing in his face, Wang Chengpeng couldn't help but exclaim: What a wonderful summer.

Since Wang Yong had given prior notice, Wang Chengpeng's arrival was not hindered. He parked his bicycle and went to the production workshop.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chengpeng saw Wang Yong, who had been waiting for him, as soon as he entered Dapeng Sugar Factory.

Judging from the dark circles under his eyes, which were noticeably more pronounced, he probably hadn't been getting a good night's sleep in the past few days.

The moment Wang Yong saw Wang Chengpeng, he rushed over excitedly as if he had seen a savior.
"Master, you've finally arrived."

"I have prepared the necessary parts according to your requirements, and I am just waiting for you to turn the rotten into the magical."

Instead of rushing to conclusions, Wang Chengpeng humbly stated:

Whether it can be repaired or not remains to be seen.

"Time waits for no one, please take me to see the equipment quickly."

Wang Chengpeng's words... just listen to them, Wang Yong didn't believe for a second that he couldn't fix it, and directly led him to the equipment that Wang Xia'an had destroyed.

Touching the extremely smooth surface of the fist print, Wang Chengpeng stared in astonishment and said:

"What kind of deep-seated hatred must one have to be so cruel to a machine?"

"At first I thought it was just a simple repair, but it seems I have to take the casing off to see the actual situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yong was about to explain the specifics of the machine when he discovered that Wang Chengpeng was already skillfully exploring it.

Although the equipment that has been violently struck may not appear to have any major problems, its internal parts are actually twisted and deformed.

Many parts that could originally be easily removed have become difficult to disassemble due to the deformation of the parts.

Fortunately, Wang Chengpeng was also skilled with his hands. With a little effort, he disassembled the seemingly huge piece of equipment into small parts.

By carefully examining the condition of each part, Wang Chengpeng quickly found several parts that were slightly deformed.

Once the replacements are complete, the repair can be finished simply by reassembling them.

It's even simpler than I imagined!
Thinking this, Wang Chengpeng asked Wang Yong:
"Do you want to keep this outer shell or not?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yong nodded and said, "Let's keep it."

"It can also serve as a witness, letting everyone know the consequences of reckless behavior."

"Moreover, if this mark is gone, and the Wang family comes to cause trouble, it will be really hard to explain."

Nodding, Wang Chengpeng picked up the hammer beside him and quickly began hammering at the thick sheet of iron in front of him.

This sheet of metal is deformed, and it must be processed if it is to be used again.

Moreover, it's not just ordinary processing; it's deep processing that takes into account balance.

Otherwise, even if the device is usable temporarily, it is likely to gradually deteriorate due to the imbalance caused by long-term use, which is something Wang Chengpeng cannot tolerate.

Since he's the one who repaired this equipment, he has to repair it to the best of his ability.

So, under Wang Yong's watchful eye, Wang Chengpeng spent most of his time hammering the sheet metal, neglecting the crucial internal parts.

He was utterly dumbfounded by this action, but considering Wang Chengpeng's abilities, he ultimately remained silent.

It's perfectly normal for Wang Chengpeng to show signs of not understanding the operation; he just needs to patiently wait for the result. He believes his mentor would never let him down.

After tapping for about half an hour, Wang Chengpeng checked the metal sheet again with his palm and nodded in satisfaction. That should be about right.

Although the added fist mark serves as a warning, it does not affect the lifespan of the equipment, achieving two goals at once.

The rest was much simpler. In less than five minutes, Wang Chengpeng had reassembled the equipment, leaving Wang Yong, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

He hadn't forgotten how long it took them to barely assemble the device according to the blueprints.

However, something was wrong when it was running. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that some parts were missing during assembly.

Even after becoming more skilled, it still takes at least three hours to assemble a single piece of equipment without making a mistake.

Perhaps due to being too shocked, Wang Yong asked an extremely absurd question:

"Sir, have you assembled this equipment before?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Wang Chengpeng looked puzzled and asked:

"Why would you ask that? I don't have the time to do such a thing."

"The equipment is fixed. You can test it. If there are no problems, I'll be leaving now."

"This is really hard work, I need to go back and rest early." Wang Yong: ...? ? ?
He really wanted to ask Wang Chengpeng, to ask himself why he hadn't seen him working hard at all.

However, he eventually held back and began testing the machine with a helpless expression.

Wang Yong is considered a veteran employee of the factory, especially familiar with these machines, since he was one of the people responsible for assembling them back then.

Hearing the rhythmic sound of the equipment running, he was greatly surprised, realizing that the equipment had actually been fixed.

Excluding the half hour or so spent hammering the sheet metal, the entire process from disassembly to assembly took less than half an hour, perfectly illustrating what it means to make a fortune overnight.

If it were someone else, they might think that repairing this equipment was a simple matter, but Wang Yong would not think so.

In order to avoid affecting the sugar factory's production efficiency due to equipment damage, Wang Yong actually tried to repair the equipment.

He thought that with his experience in building and repairing, the repairs would be a piece of cake, but in reality, it was a completely different story.

Aside from the obviously dented metal sheet, he couldn't even find out what was wrong with the equipment, let alone how to repair it.

I was so stupid. I shouldn't have compared myself to my master.

After accepting the fact that Wang Chengpeng was much stronger than him, Wang Yong felt relieved.

Without giving Wang Chengpeng a chance to leave, he shamelessly spoke again, saying:

"Master, I have prepared some very fine tea in my office. If you have time, why don't you come to my office and have a taste?"

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Wang Chengpeng could tell at a glance that Wang Yong wanted something from him, and after thinking about it, he finally agreed.

After all, he had just received three thousand yuan in overdue repair fees, so it wouldn't be right to just turn his back and leave.

He said it was just a small matter of leading the way, so why was it Wang Yong, the factory director, who was doing it? It turned out that he was being waited for here.

Seeing Wang Chengpeng nod in agreement, Wang Yong warmly welcomed him to his office and even brewed a pot of fine tea.

Smelling the delicate, refreshing aroma of tea in the air, Wang Chengpeng said directly:

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, I don't have much time to waste here."

It was getting late, and if Wang Yong continued to dawdle like that, it was hard to say how long the conversation would go on.

With an awkward smile, Wang Yong got straight to the point: "Master, I mainly want to talk to you about the equipment."

"Didn't you say last time that in order to ensure quality, we need to purchase some candy crushing equipment and packaging equipment to improve the product's image?"

"Having received your instructions, I didn't dare to delay and went to find the relevant equipment manufacturer today."

At this point, Wang Yong frowned and said, "The situation is just not very optimistic."

"Not to mention that a good machine costs several thousand yuan, even a more ordinary machine costs several hundred yuan."

"You know our factory's situation. If we're going to buy, we definitely need more than just three or five units; we'll need more than a dozen."

"But the factory's funds have all been used to pay wages, so it's really too difficult to purchase this batch of equipment."

"So my idea was to buy on credit and pay back the money after the sugar from the factory was sold."

"However, once they heard that we were just a small village-run factory that had just started production, they refused to grant us credit."

At this point, Wang Yong's expression turned indignant, and he burst into a tirade:

"Pah! I wouldn't even want to buy those crappy machines of his."

"Not only are they small and of poor quality, but they are also expensive. They are not even worth a hair of the master's machine."

"So I was thinking, Master, why don't you go all the way and provide us with the blueprints for the sugar crusher and packaging machine as well?"

"Don't worry, I will make sure you get your money. Once the sugar factory starts operating, I will settle all the equipment costs with you as soon as possible."

Wang Chengpeng gave Wang Yong a speechless look, and then loudly complained:
"Is this sugar factory your sugar factory or mine?"

"How come I'm the one who helps with everything from technology and site selection to equipment and business plans?"

After being told that by Wang Chengpeng, Wang Yong's face instantly turned bright red, and he said with extreme embarrassment:
"Master, isn't this your sugar factory?"

"Look at the name, 'Dapeng Sugar Factory,' not 'Dayong Sugar Factory.' How could this be my sugar factory?"

"I'm just someone who does your work. I got the title of factory director for nothing. Aren't you the one who really makes the decisions about the sugar factory?"

"You want me to keep Wang Xia'an? See, I immediately changed my previous decision to expel her?"

Wang Chengpeng: ...? ? ?
He knew that naming the sugar factory "Dapeng" was never a good thing, and sure enough, they were now settling scores.

Wang Yong was also at his wit's end. Although he knew it wasn't good to keep taking advantage of Wang Chengpeng, he had no other choice.

Without resolving the machinery issue, the future of Dapeng Sugar Factory looks bleak.

Thinking this, he poured Wang Chengpeng some more water and said ingratiatingly:

"Master, I had no other choice."

"If it were my own business, I would just give up."

“But the Dapeng Sugar Factory is a matter concerning the entire Wangjia Village, so I can only ask the capable people in the village for help.”

"After thinking it over, I realized that you are the most capable person in our village. You should do more of the work and help the village again."

"Master, don't worry, I will create a special position for you, with the highest salary, even higher than mine as the factory manager."

"Technical consultant, yes, that's the name."

Upon hearing that Wang Yong wanted to appoint him as a technical consultant, Wang Chengpeng quickly waved his hand and declined:

"Don't offer me any position; I can't handle being a technical consultant."

If I become the technical consultant, Wang Yong will probably feel even more comfortable asking me for help, and I won't be able to refuse him then.

I can't let myself lose sight of the bigger picture and ruin everything because of greed for a little bit of salary.

Anyway, with the money from selling the equipment, Wang Chengpeng's assets were already approaching six figures, so he really didn't care about the salary of a hundred or two hundred yuan and there was no need for him to take on this hot potato.

Seeing that Wang Chengpeng refused, Wang Yong wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said:
“Master, whatever you say goes. As long as you can solve your own factory's problems, you can even become the supreme factory manager.”

"I've really suffered. I've been busy for several months for someone else's factory, and I haven't even had a good night's sleep."

Wang Chengpeng: ...? ? ?
