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

A cold front from Siberia caused the temperature in the capital to drop to near zero degrees Celsius.

Jiang Hui resisted the urge to stay in bed, got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and then went to the store.

The weather has been cold lately, so the shop has specially equipped itself with a honeycomb briquette stove for adding water.

Fan Weimin and Lin Yuanwu, who arrived at the store early, had already boiled the water.

She also thoughtfully brewed Jiang Hui a cup of Zhang Yiyuan jasmine tea.

In the capital city during that era, jasmine tea held a 98% market share in the tea market.

All other teas, whether it's Longjing or Tieguanyin, have to take a backseat.

The saying "there is no tea other than flower tea" further confirms the central role of jasmine tea in the daily lives of people in the capital.

It is said that the water in the capital region is hard and bitter, and the fragrance of flowers can mask the defects in the water quality.

Jiang Hui wasn't entirely sure if that was the case.

Anyway, I've gotten used to drinking jasmine tea.

"Jiang Hui, all the flyers have been distributed."

"I just don't know how effective it will be."

Lin Yuanwu has been busy distributing flyers these past two days.

He was working so hard handing out flyers in the cold wind because he really hoped to bring some real help to the store.

Instead of doing useless work.

"Brother Yuanwu, don't worry, it will definitely work."

No sooner had Jiang Hui finished speaking than a car pulled up in front of the auto repair shop.

Needless to say, a customer has come to the door.

Jiang Hui got up and went outside, and saw a rather young foreigner get off the Volga.

"I heard you're really good at repairing imported cars, you can fix any kind of car?"

The foreigner, speaking fairly fluent Mandarin, walked up to Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui is 178 centimeters tall, which is not short.

But you have to look up and talk to the other person.

This person looks like a bear, and is estimated to be at least 1.95 meters tall and weigh no less than 200 kilograms.

Yes, that's right.

"What's wrong with this Volga?"

We definitely can't back down at this point.

The boasts you make must be kept.

If someone says they can fix any car, then they really can.

"No, it's not this one. It's a GAZ-13. Have you heard of it?"

"New Jim? You're from the Polar Bear Embassy?"

As he said this, Jiang Hui went to the front of the Volga and glanced at the license plate.

It was indeed a black-plated car.

The GAZ-13 is a ministerial-level vehicle within the Polar Bear organization.

They don't sell to ordinary people at all.

So when the other party mentioned this car, Jiang Hui immediately thought of the Polar Bear Embassy.

And it is highly likely to be the ambassador's vehicle.

"That's right, our embassy's GAZ-13 has broken down. Are you familiar with this vehicle?"

Clearly, Big Bear still had some doubts about Jiang Hui's abilities.

Even when the other party heard GAZ-13, they immediately said its other code name - "New GM".

"The GAZ-13 was a top-of-the-line luxury sedan produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant from 1959 until it was officially discontinued last year. It was exclusively used by high-ranking officials and embassies abroad."

"Its length is 5600mm, width is 2000mm, height is 1580mm, and wheelbase is 3250mm."

"It adopts a special X-shaped spine frame, which has extremely strong torsional resistance."

"And it adopts a 7-seat layout with 2 in the front row, 2 in the middle row, and 3 in the back row."

"It is equipped with a ZMZ-13 5.5L V8 carburetor engine and a 3AT automatic transmission modeled after the Chrysler TorqueFlite."

"As the successor to the GAZ-12, the GAZ-13, with its V8 engine, automatic transmission, and larger size, completely outclasses the old GM in terms of presence and performance."

"Is the information I provided correct?"

Instead of weakly explaining that he is very familiar with the GAZ-13, he should just quickly state the basic information about the vehicle.

Sure enough, the other party's attitude changed immediately after hearing Jiang Hui's words.

"My name is Andre Lucas, you can call me Andre."

"Our embassy's GAZ-13 has been experiencing problems for the past six months, including weak acceleration, jerky and jerky gear shifts, and noticeable slippage when going uphill."

"What do you think is the problem? Can it be fixed?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui immediately became interested.

The repair costs for a breakdown in such a top-of-the-line executive sedan can definitely be quite substantial.

Especially now, when polar bears are at their strongest.

Charging them a little extra for repairs is nothing to them.

"If it's just the problems you mentioned, then it's almost certain that there's a problem with the transmission."

"It can definitely be repaired, but it's uncertain whether parts need to be replaced."

"If no parts need to be replaced, it can be repaired within a day."

Without the system's help, Jiang Hui can pinpoint the general scope of the fault based on his experience.

Of course, the most accurate information will need to be determined by the system once we arrive at the scene.

"What if we need to replace parts?"

Andrei was quite meticulous and asked another question.

"If you need to replace a part, I don't think I have any in my shop."

"Unless you have spare parts, you can't get it repaired on the same day."

"Otherwise, we'll have to wait for you to find a spare part before we can do the repairs."

Jiang Hui admitted that he couldn't handle the spare parts for this special vehicle, but that was no problem at all.

After hearing his story, people might even find Jiang Hui to be a trustworthy person.

"Leave the spare parts to me. I have the common spare parts, but it's hard to say about the less common ones."

Andrei's words clearly indicated that he was preparing to hand over the maintenance task to Jiang Hui.

"Okay, then will you drive your car to our store, or...?"

They all drove their Volga tanks over, instead of just bringing their GAZ-13s. The implication is quite clear.

However, Jiang Hui still asked one more question.

"Take your car repair tools and come with me to the embassy."

As expected, Andrei asked Jiang Hui to provide door-to-door service.

That car was the ambassador's official vehicle, so it was quite special and sensitive.

Andrei was worried that if he got the car repaired outside, someone might tamper with it.

In particular, he found out that this small auto repair shop had recently repaired a car for the U.S. Embassy.

Who knows if they have any connection with Americans?

Right now is the most intense period of the bipolar rivalry, so it's perfectly normal for someone like Andrei to think more deeply.

"No problem, I'll pack quickly and come with you right away."

Without saying a word, Jiang Hui told Lin Yuanwu and Fan Weimin to start packing up the car repair tools.

Jiang Hui still vividly remembers the last time he went to the American Embassy for a free meal, so this time when he went to the Polar Bear Embassy, ​​he naturally wanted to bring the two of them along.

Andrei didn't seem to have any objections to this.

Soon, Jiang Hui and his two companions boarded the Volga and headed towards the Polar Bear Embassy.

The car arrived at the Polar Bear Embassy in no time.

Their location is truly excellent.

The key point is that it occupies a very large area.

This further solidified Jiang Hui's determination to show off his skills this time...

Well, the key point is the determination to earn a good amount of money for car repairs.
