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

Fan Weimin is a very reliable person.

The next day, he returned with a stack of flyers.

"Master, it's one cent per sheet. I had someone print a total of 200 sheets."

The price wasn't cheap, so Fan Weimin didn't dare to print too many.

The main reason was that at that time, people in all walks of life did not have a high awareness of publicity, and printing factories did not specialize in this kind of business.

Otherwise, it would just be a simple mimeographed flyer the size of an A4 sheet of paper, without even color, and the price couldn't be that high.

After all, an average person's daily wage is only a little over one yuan, which is only enough to print a dozen or so flyers.

In later generations, this would be unimaginable.

"200 is basically enough."

"We don't distribute them everywhere; instead, we target factories with a lot of vehicles."

"And publicity near foreign-related units that have their own vehicles."

Jiang Hui did not try to do too much.

These days, some individuals do print flyers to promote their products.

Especially in the capital, the individual economy is just beginning to recover.

Although there are 263.6 million individual businesses in urban areas across the country, the policies in the capital are relatively strict.

Individual businesses are mainly concentrated in convenient industries such as catering, repair, and sales of daily necessities.

They operate on a small scale, have limited funds, and have extremely weak awareness of publicity.

The flyer for "Xiao Jiang's Car Repair" is definitely a rather outrageous act.

If it is distributed on a large scale and on a wide scale, it may be considered "speculation and profiteering," which would be counterproductive.

"Jiang Hui, leave the task of distributing these flyers to me."

"You can just stay in the shop and oversee things."

Lin Yuanwu was six years older than Jiang Hui, so he thought more deeply and was able to recognize both the benefits and risks of distributing flyers for promotion.

So he took the initiative to hand out flyers on the street.

"Okay, thank you for your help with this."

Jiang Hui wasn't being pretentious.

The risk for Lin Yuanwu, a disabled person, to hand out flyers is indeed much lower than for him.

China's protection of vulnerable groups is quite effective.

The fact that this batch of printed leaflets contains both Chinese and English is somewhat sensitive.

It might even be the first bilingual (Chinese and English) leaflet in the capital region.

……

"Da Dong, is this 'Xiao Jiang Auto Repair' the auto repair shop that Jiang Hui owns?"

At the BAIC repair shop, the shop manager, Liu Yongzhe, called Jiang Dadong into his office.

The latter was initially confused as to why the factory manager had suddenly contacted him.

Hearing his question, she knew that the matter was related to her second son.

"Manager Liu, this shop is indeed owned by Jiang Hui. What's wrong?"

Although Jiang Hui's relationship with the BAIC repair shop has become quite good because of the previous incident involving repairing a Hongqi CA770.

However, to some extent, Xiaojiang Auto Repair Shop is a competitor of BAIC Repair Shop.

So Jiang Dadong was still a little nervous.

"It's nothing, someone just showed me this flyer today."

"This is in both Chinese and English, and they claim to be good at repairing all kinds of imported and domestic cars."

"The key point is that the address is also at the entrance of Wudaoying Hutong, so I thought I'd ask you what the situation is."

As Liu Yongzhe spoke, he handed the flyer to Jiang Dadong.

The latter had never seen such a flyer before.

"Well... I guess business hasn't been good lately, so they're probably thinking of seeing if more people will know about their store."

Jiang Dadong forced himself to explain to his son.

Although he wasn't particularly clear about the specifics of [Xiao Jiang's Auto Repair] shop, he was absolutely certain that it had nothing to do with poor business.

If business is really bad, will the second son bring meat and grain home every few days?

"I didn't mean anything special. It's just that he's a small business owner, but he promotes his shop as if it's the best in the whole capital."

"If some uninformed people saw this, they might feel uncomfortable."

Liu Yongzhe gave a casual explanation and then let Jiang Dadong leave.

For a factory manager like him, it was just a casual question.

There is no other deeper meaning at the moment.

But for Jiang Dadong, the situation was different.

He immediately became nervous.

I skipped all my afternoon shifts, took leave, and rode my bicycle home.

"Second brother, the commotion you guys made handing out flyers seems a bit too much."

Jiang Dadong did not directly question Jiang Hui.

Although he doesn't understand business, he can certainly understand the purpose of distributing flyers.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing your dad during work hours is a bit strange in itself.

Jiang Hui felt a little uneasy when the man immediately said that he had made a big move.

Could it be that we've really taken too big a step?

"Our factory manager just called me in..."

Jiang Dadong quickly recounted his meeting with Liu Yongzhe to Jiang Hui.

"It's alright. Since we've already handed out flyers, we definitely want more people to know about our [Xiao Jiang Auto Repair] shop."

"The fact that Director Liu is looking for you means that our flyers are starting to have an effect."

"The repair shop genuinely fixes cars for everyone; there's no cheating or deception involved."

"Who knows, our store's development might enter a new phase in the future."

Although policies may fluctuate, the overall risk is relatively small when it comes to shops like auto repair shops.

Only those who open factories face relatively high risks.

"Just keep it in mind yourself. I'll try my best to keep an eye on policy developments in the future."

Jiang Dadong was, after all, an employee of BAIC's repair shop, so he was certainly quite familiar with the dynamics of the auto repair industry.

Compared to Jiang Dadong's nervousness, Fan Chengtian's attitude was different.

He directly asked Fan Weimin to give him dozens of flyers, asking him to help promote Coca-Cola among its drivers.

These drivers all have their own connections, and their help to factories or organizations with a large number of vehicles is definitely more effective than Lin Yuanwu handing out flyers.

His son is an apprentice at someone else's place, so he definitely hopes that [Xiao Jiang Auto Repair] can grow and thrive.

"Andrei, are we considering sending our ambassador's GAZ-13 back to China for repairs?"

Inside the Polar Bear Embassy, ​​First Secretary Sergei called his attaché, Andrei, to his side.

"That's true. This car has been experiencing sluggish acceleration and noticeable jerking and jolts during gear shifts for the past six months."

"Furthermore, there was a noticeable slippage problem on the uphill section, and our own driver struggled with it for a long time without being able to fix it."

Andrei wasn't quite sure why Sergei had suddenly asked him that question.

As the embassy's top-of-the-line executive sedan, and the only one of its kind, the GAZ-13's malfunction was no secret within the embassy.

"I unexpectedly encountered someone handing out flyers near the embassy today, which is a very rare occurrence."

"The key point is that it's actually an advertisement for a car repair shop."

"I think the other party must have some strength to dare to distribute leaflets near our embassy."

"Do you want me to take my GAZ-13 over for repairs?"

Since Sergei had said so, how could Andrei dare to disagree?
