Chapter 1: The Incident Occurred Suddenly
"By the way, Huang, my brother's machine broke down yesterday and it's still not working. I was just thinking of calling you to fix it... Why don't you set up a repair shop in our Songjiang City? You're not busy with anything else anyway?"
Zhang Dali now knows that Huang Xiangyun is no longer working at Red Day Machinery and is currently unemployed. However, he thinks Huang Xiangyun is not simple... Not old in age, but big in ability!
Actually, Huang Xiangyun had thought about it before. But things need to be done step by step, you can't do a lot of things all at once. As for the repair department, let's just wait and see.
Huang Xiangyun wrote down the other party's phone number and chatted with Zhang Dali for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.
Huang Xiangyun really didn't expect himself to be so lucky, casually buying a house and making so much money. However, one thing is certain, that the original owner of this house must not have heard any news. Otherwise, that guy must be crazy!
As for the matter of housing prices, Huang Xiangyun didn't mention it to his family members.
Huang Xiangyun dialed the phone number given by Zhang Dali, and the other party obviously got Zhang Dali's message. He answered the phone very politely and enthusiastically, and also offered to drive over to pick him up. Thinking this was a good idea, he told the other party his approximate location and asked them to wait for him at the outer ring road outside the hutong entrance.
Less than fifteen minutes later, the other party called him. Huang Xiangyun put on his clothes and told his mother Lin and others that he was going out.
On the side of the outer ring road, a Jietu was heard, and Huang Xiangyun came out. A middle-aged man wearing glasses got out of the car and asked: "Is it Brother Huang?"
Huang Xiangyun smiled and said: "It's me! Brother Li, hurry up and get on the bus, it's so cold!"
The two of them got on the car laughing. Mr. Li Yun Chuan started the car and turned around, heading south along the outer ring road.
"I heard from Old Zhang that you just bought a house?" Li Yun Chuan asked Huang Xiangyun with a smile.
Huang Xiangyun thought to himself, "This Da Li is really quick-tongued. It seems that in the future, important things can't be told to him. He's simply a big loudspeaker. However, it's also possible that their relationship is very close." He smiled and said, "Yeah, bought after New Year's, not even a few days yet!"
Li Yun-chuan did not show the envious expression that Huang Xiang-yun had imagined, but instead smiled and said: "You're really lucky, this kind of thing doesn't happen to ordinary people... This one vote of yours is going to make a lot of people rich for life! ... I heard from Zhang Zi that you're only 20 years old today?"
"It's been a year again, and I'm one year older, already 21 years old! Hehe... Brother, this car is not bad, seems like it's brand new?"
Huang Xiangyun was making small talk. Li Yunkuan nodded and casually said, "Yeah, I just bought it before the New Year. I didn't want to buy this brand, but my daughter liked it, so I had no choice but to buy one."
Huang Xiangyun curiously asked: "Miss? Brother Li seems to be only a few years older than me, shouldn't his daughter still be very young?"
Li Yun Chuan glanced at Huang Xiang Yun, saw that he wasn't joking, and burst into triumphant laughter: "Haha, don't mention my age! If we talk about age, you're a generation younger than me! My daughter is five years older than you! Haha..."
Huang Xiangyun's eyes widened in shock: "What? Is this true or false? You look like you're just over thirty, did you get married early?"
Li Yun Chuan burst out laughing: "Marry early? I got married at 24, had a daughter in the third year, and now I'm already 53! ... Look closely, you can see that my eyes are full of wrinkles... I'm old! Thirty plus is just a memory, haha..."
Huang Xiangyun looked at him and didn't seem to be joking, so he said with admiration: "Brother Li, you really are not like that!"
Li Yun Chuan was laughing: "Hmph, I'm really afraid you'll change your mind and call me Uncle Li... Haha, actually many people have said that before. But the older generation in our family is forbidden to get old, my wife, your aunt, is the same age as me, and now she still looks like she's over thirty years old! My daughter is five years older than you, but looking at her, she seems like 16 or 17... I guess this has something to do with one's mood, our family members are all very optimistic, think more openly, so we can all withstand the erosion of time... Haha!"
Huang Xiangyun nodded: "Brother Li is right, people who worry more age faster and their bodies are not good either... Brother Li is very lucky!"
Li Yun Chuan looked at him with some surprise, smiling and saying: "I didn't expect you young man to have such a deep understanding of life. It seems like you haven't had an easy time in the past, huh?"
Huang Xiangyun smiled and said, "It's okay, eating a bit of bitterness is helpful for growth. Isn't there a saying that goes like this: 'Eating the bitterest of bitterness makes one a superior person.' Even if you've eaten a lot of bitterness, even ordinary days with plain food and drink feel like a luxurious life as a white-collar worker!"
Li Yun Chuan burst out laughing: "You little brother are interesting, but this sentence also makes sense... It seems that I should let my family's insatiable girl suffer a bit, so she can become a better person in the future. Haha!"
Li Yuanchuan loved to laugh, especially hearty laughter. Huang Xiangyun thought this might also be Li Yuanchuan's secret to not looking old - isn't there a saying that goes like this: worry and your hair turns white; laugh and you'll look ten years younger? That's the principle!
Li Yun Chuan laughed and said, "Little brother, I think you should open a repair shop like Zhang Da Li said. Although there aren't many machines in our city yet, there will definitely be more in the future. Plus, with people coming from outside to work, the number will be even greater... Now, in our city and surrounding cities, it seems that there is no such maintenance department. Often when a car breaks down, it has to be towed to Shenyang or further away for repairs at an exorbitant price after the warranty period! You should open one, you'll definitely make money... If you can get some connections to get parts, you'll make a fortune!"
Huang Xiangyun is actually very enthusiastic about this, but he's still considering it and won't come to a conclusion so quickly. He said: "Brother Li is right. But even if I don't open a repair department for now, I can still fix things as long as everyone knows I'll do the repairs... If this repair department doesn't sell parts, then there's not much point to it. I need to see if I can get my hands on some parts and then consider opening a repair department!"
Li Yunkuan pondered for a moment: "That's also true. If there are no spare parts, the problem can't be fixed at all, and it's not just about spare parts, but also special auxiliary tools."
"Yes, if all these tools are to be purchased, the investment will not be small... Hehe, this money is not easy to earn! It's better to buy a excavator (nickname for excavator) instead."
Huang Xiangyun finished speaking, counted the money in his hand, and if he added the money from Lin's hand, he could think of a way to borrow some more, which would be enough for the down payment on a domestically produced hook machine. His heart was very excited!
