Reborn in 1982: I Became the Richest Man by Repairing Cars

Chapter 157 A Master's Move, Handling the Situation with Ease

Regardless of the type of car engine, the basic working principle is actually quite similar.

Even without the system's help, Jiang Hui would still dare to dismantle it.

He had Lin Yuanwu and Fan Weimin assist him and quickly began disassembling the device.

"The 4.0L V8 engine in this car is Toyota's most advanced engine, and it can also be considered the most advanced car engine in the entire Japan."

"It will definitely be used in more high-end models in the future. You should learn it now, because you might need it in the future."

After opening the engine compartment, Jiang Hui skillfully disconnected the battery power.

Then we started doing it.

Of course, it's necessary to explain the situation to Lin Yuanwu and Fan Weimin appropriately.

Kimura Kenichi, who was watching Jiang Hui repair the car with some nervousness, gradually relaxed when he saw Jiang Hui's skillful movements.

Sure enough, Xiao Jiang's repair shop lives up to its reputation.

"Master, are large-displacement engines more prone to malfunctions than regular engines?"

Fan Weimin asked out of curiosity.

"Not necessarily. In fact, many large-displacement engines are more durable and less prone to failure."

"Large displacement engines are often found in performance cars, off-road vehicles, and heavy-duty vehicles, which frequently operate at high speeds and heavy loads, so the wear and tear is naturally greater than that of family cars used for grocery shopping."

"So sometimes people get the misconception that large-displacement engines are more prone to breaking down."

"Of course, V6, V8, and inline 6 cylinders have more parts, including valves, pistons, oil seals, and pipes, which increases the probability of problems, but it doesn't mean that individual parts are more likely to fail."

"In fact, large-displacement naturally aspirated engines can produce high torque at low speeds. With low load, low temperature and pressure, the engine operates in a relatively relaxed state."

"So under the same conditions, large-displacement engines are actually less likely to break down."

"However, because the number of large-displacement engines is relatively low, the machining precision of some parts has not reached the ideal target."

"Therefore, there will be relatively more cases of oil leaks and gas leaks."

After Jiang Hui explained it this way, Fan Weimin and Lin Yuanwu both understood.

Even Kenichi Kimura, who was watching from the sidelines, thought what he said made a lot of sense.

That's insightful.

Next, Jiang Hui continued to rapidly advance the engine disassembly work.

By noon, all the accessories on the cylinder head, including the ignition coil, had been removed.

The cylinder head was also lifted smoothly.

"Didn't you see? This cylinder head gasket is clearly faulty and needs to be replaced."

"In the afternoon, after we cleaned it up and prepared the appropriate spare parts, we can start reassembling."

"Let's eat now."

There's never an end to the work.

You still need to eat.

At this point, Kenichi Kimura also felt that there was no need for him to continue monitoring the situation.

"Master Jiang, I'll be going now."

"I'll come to pick up the car around 4 PM tomorrow."

Now, there's little doubt that Kimura Kenjiro can repair the Toyota Century.

My mood has also become much lighter.

"No problem, I'll definitely fix it when the time comes."

Jiang Hui casually greeted someone and then prepared to wash his hands and eat.

Once Kimura Kenichi had walked away, Fan Weimin immediately became excited.

"Master, you can earn $2000 for just one car. This must be the highest price we've ever paid for a single vehicle repair at our repair shop, right?"

""

When Fan Weimin repaired the Rolls-Royce belonging to the British Embassy last time, he felt that his worldview had been completely shattered.

Is it possible to make a lot of money repairing cars?

Unexpectedly, this record has been broken once again.

"The price of one Toyota Century can buy several Toyota Crowns."

"Now, a Toyota Crown sells for hundreds of thousands of yuan in the capital."

"If you calculate it that way, the Toyota Century will cost over 100 million yuan."

"Is charging $2000 for it not too outrageous?"

Jiang Hui's pricing is so high that it's not unreasonable to call it overcharging.

But he made it clear beforehand that it was up to you whether you wanted to fix it or not.

Especially since this car belongs to the Japanese embassy.

So he felt no pressure at all.

"That's true. The prices of those imported luxury cars are still too high."

"However, they really do build it very well. Compared to them, the domestic BJ212 and SH760 are completely incomparable."

Fan Weimin has seen quite a few cars now.

Naturally, one can distinguish between good and bad.

"Of course."

"This car features top-quality genuine leather seats throughout the cabin, paired with solid wood/piano lacquer trim. Some high-end models incorporate traditional Japanese crafts such as Nishijin weaving and embroidery, with all stitching and splicing done by hand."

"The rear row also features independent electric reclining seats that can be adjusted independently to the left and right, and also have a seat massage function."

"At the same time, rear electric sunshades, independent air conditioning, reading lights, and vanity mirrors create a private VIP cabin."

"These features aren't found in ordinary cars."

"Besides, their suspension is also very good."

"The Century is equipped with an automatic level control suspension, which keeps the vehicle level no matter how heavy the load, providing excellent vibration damping and a smooth ride."

"Furthermore, features like power sliding doors, power windows throughout the vehicle, UV-insulated glass, and in-car air purifiers are not things that ordinary cars can afford."

With the help of the system's information, Jiang Hui easily learned about the various configuration details of the Toyota Century.

Not to mention comparing it to cars like the BJ212, even compared to the BMW 520 or Mercedes-Benz W123, the Toyota Century has an advantage.

Throughout the meal, Jiang Hui chatted with Lin Yuanwu and Fan Weimin about the Toyota Century.

I also briefly introduced the current situation of the Japanese automobile industry.

In the afternoon, I personally made cylinder head gaskets and oil seals.

With accurate dimensional information, suitable raw materials, and equipment, production naturally proceeds smoothly.

In the evening, Jiang Hui reinstalled the parts he had made onto the Toyota Century.

The repairs were completed smoothly this evening, without having to wait until tomorrow afternoon.

After it was installed, Jiang Hui even took Lin Yuanwu and Fan Weimin for a test drive on a nearby road.

This is considered normal maintenance and testing work, and we're not afraid even if others find out.

At four o'clock the next afternoon, Kimura Kenichi arrived at Xiaojiang Repair Shop on time.

Looking at the Toyota Century parked quietly by his embassy, ​​the entire vehicle was spotless.

His mood improved.

"Master Jiang, is the car fixed?"

"Yes, you can try idling for ten minutes or so to see if the oil leak continues."

Jiang Hui opened the car door and invited Kimura Kenichi to sit down and experience it.

At this point, no amount of talking will be as effective as asking someone to do it for you.

Kenichi Kimura certainly wouldn't back down at this point, so he got in and started the car.

Then just let it idle there.

Based on his previous experience, he could smell an odor after the engine had been idling for a few minutes.

Leaking engine oil dripping onto the hot exhaust pipe will emit an unpleasant smell.

However, this time, I waited for ten minutes but didn't smell anything strange.

"Our repair shop's policy is that vehicles repaired here are covered by a three-month warranty."

"9

"If the same fault occurs again within 3 months, it can be repaired for free."

"So far, we haven't encountered a single case where someone came back for warranty repair within 3 months."

Jiang Hui spoke with absolute confidence.

To do this is absolutely not easy.

This is also why Xiao Jiang's repair shop has a better and better reputation.

If it weren't for the relatively high fees, especially the high maintenance costs for imported cars, the business would probably be even better.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The factory has limited manpower, and if we continue to focus on cost-effectiveness, we simply won't be able to keep up with the business.

They simply decided to only handle the repair of complex faults and faults in imported vehicles.

This way you can earn more money without the workload being so excessive.

"Okay, here's the money for the car repairs, please count it."

Kenichi Kimura waited a few more minutes but still found no problem.

He also tends to believe that the car's malfunction has indeed been resolved.

Considering Jiang Hui's warranty promise, he felt there was no need to wait any longer.

So he readily took out a thick envelope.

Clearly, he had already prepared the repair costs in advance.

Jiang Hui didn't stand on ceremony. He accepted the envelope in front of him and started counting the envelopes.

When it comes to money, it's best to clarify things face-to-face.

To avoid any controversy.

"Exactly $2000."

"That's good. I'm Kenichi Kimura from the Japanese Embassy. Next time I need car repairs, I'll call your shop to make an appointment."

With this business deal secured, Kenichi Kimura had a lot of confidence in Jiang Hui's car repair skills.

Although Xiaojiang Repair Shop needs high-end clients, their embassy also needs a reliable repair shop.

If they can fix a Toyota Century, then Kimura Kenichi thinks that Xiaojiang Repair Shop should be able to repair all kinds of cars in the embassy.

In that case, direct cooperation might be more convenient.

Anyway, the embassy has plenty of funds, so the fact that Xiao Jiang Repair Shop charges relatively high repair fees is not a big problem at all.

After all, cars don't need to be repaired every day.

Under normal circumstances, it's not uncommon for a car to require repairs once or twice a year.

Of course, their embassy has quite a few vehicles, so there will definitely be cooperation every now and then.

"No problem, we can also provide on-site repairs if needed."

Wool comes from sheep.

On-site repair fees will naturally be higher.

Jiang Hui is willing to do anything as long as the money is right.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Kimura Kenichi drove away in his Toyota Century.

This record-breaking repair order was successfully secured.

For the next period of time, business at Xiao Jiang's repair shop continued to be good.

Although I haven't encountered ultra-luxury cars like the Toyota Century again, I still frequently run into Toyota Crowns and Nissan Cedric.

This is arguably the luxury sedan with the largest import volume in China at present.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Hui ushered in a new and joyous event in his life.
