Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 442 The Awesome Qin Dahe

The next morning, the father and son drove to the county and found the repair shop where Tiedan worked.

When the new car got a scratch, the old man always felt a thorn in his heart and had to clean it up.

"Tiedan, I'm here to bring you some business."

"Haha, my dad called me yesterday and asked me to buy a car too." He smiled and welcomed the father and son in. "Grandpa's car is really awesome."

When the boss saw the two cars, he knew they were something special. He was very polite and poured tea for them himself.

"Just buy it, you have money." Although Tiedan was also impatient, his father was the head of the family and he really controlled him.

He has divided the gold twice, but has not spent any money so far. He just spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy a yard in the county. I guess he has more cash in his hands than he does.

He took out cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, including the other mechanics.

It's early in the morning and everyone is busy preparing for work.

"My dad just bought this car yesterday. There's a scratch on it. Let's fix it first." Several people came out with cigarettes in their mouths.

"Ce, such a new car is scratched like this?" said the boss regretfully.

"Damn it, when I went home to treat people to dinner yesterday, I don't know who made the mistake." When Qin's father said this, he got angry and kept cursing.

Qin Dahe helplessly interrupted his father and said, "Let's take care of this first. He still has to go drive the car."

"Okay, this is easy." The boss nodded.

The Black Peugeot is the most popular car model at present. There is no need to adjust the paint, just spray it and let it dry. The master craftsman next to him is ready to start working.

He then brought the people to his Land Cruiser, and everyone was speechless when they saw the bumpy car.

"Is this a fucking Land Cruiser?"

"Fuck, Land Cruiser."

Ordinary people may not recognize it, but mechanics definitely know this kind of million-dollar luxury car, and their eyes widened.

"This guy got into such a mess that I didn't even notice when the car stopped." A driver sighed.

The boss smiled and said, "Restoring the entire car is a big project, especially with silver paint."

"Let's do a complete repair, including changing the engine oil and air filter, and checking the entire vehicle." This means a major maintenance and car repair.

"Okay, let me take a look at the car first and then give you a quote."

This kind of large off-road vehicle is very troublesome to maintain and repair. Even if Qin Dahe is an employee friend, the quote cannot be low.

The reason why many luxury cars are expensive to repair is because of the high parts-to-whole ratio and the high risk. A factory is only worth a certain amount of money, and if you damage an engine, half of the factory will be lost.

The car here hasn't been checked yet, but Qin's father's Santana has been fixed.

"Can we drive now?" Father Qin didn't want to waste any more time. He made a lot of money driving in the morning.

"Yes, you have a mark now." The master said indifferently.

To be honest, if it wasn't a new car, you could just paint it over with a black pen and it wouldn't be noticeable at all. It's used for passenger transport, so there's no need to be so particular.

Of course, if you're spray painting a large area, you have to let it dry before you go out, otherwise if there are cracks or something, he'll be scolded.

"Son, I'm going to be busy. You can take a taxi back by yourself." Qin's father couldn't stay any longer after hearing this. It was nine o'clock in the morning, and he could still attract some customers by going to People's Square, but there was no time to waste.

"Row."

The boss is still calculating the damaged area. The repair fee is calculated by area.

The wound from being hit by Li Weiwei last time was still there, plus some usual scratches and some minor scrapes.

"You are really driving it like a tank." After the inspection, the boss was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It takes a lot of heart to cause this to a million-dollar luxury car.

"Just drive it for a few years and change it when you make money." Qin Dahe said indifferently.

He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, feeling very pretentious.

The key is that other people just fall for it, and it's not easy for anyone to afford this car.

Changing the engine oil and air conditioning filter costs over a thousand yuan.

"Why don't you just use insurance and rub it against any wall?"

"Don't worry." He waved his hand. "It's hard to get insurance. If I get hit again, my premium will go up to over 10,000 tomorrow."

He bought third-party liability insurance, so the car body was not totally damaged, unless he met an unlucky person like Li Weiwei and had to let others repair the car.

Today’s insurance companies are so powerful that you won’t be able to do anything even if they refuse to provide you with insurance.

"Since you know Tiedan, I won't quote you a random price. I'll charge you 5,000 for maintenance and repairs. I'll tell you if there are other parts to replace. Okay?"

"Okay, let's wash the car interior and stuff, shall we?"

"I will definitely clean it for you." said the boss seriously.

"This car still needs to go to the Toyota aftermarket to pick up some parts and adjust the paint. It won't be ready until the day after tomorrow, what do you think?"

He has also driven a million-dollar luxury car. How can he run such a big factory without some experience?

"Then I'll come and get it the day after tomorrow." We don't use the car much now, and my dad delivers the bait.

It was already past ten o'clock when they finally settled on the car, but Qin Dahe wasn't in a hurry to leave. He decided to go get some barbecue later and pick up some ingredients. He was going to Hubei for a fishing trip in May, and he planned to bring some outdoor cooking utensils for grilling fish and other things.

I sat in the lounge area, drank tea, watched the boss and his colleagues busy themselves, and even helped Tiedan with some pointers on thin aluminum welding.

Some cars are made with such poor workmanship and materials that the sheet metal parts cannot be hung up, and can only be sucked back in with a toilet plug or scalded with boiling water.

However, if these car bodies are damaged, it will be extremely difficult to repair them.

Now, we have encountered a problem. The door of a Japanese car has cracked.

The master happened to be nearby and he called him immediately.

"The grinding and preheating must be done properly. If that doesn't work, just cut some aluminum sheet to cover it." He frowned. What kind of crappy car is this? Why use thin aluminum sheet as the door?
"The edges are also made of thin aluminum, unless the entire door shell is replaced." Tiedan sighed.

The boss is also extremely troubled. These cars are usually imported, which is so fucking terrible.

It takes a lot of time and effort, and it's hard to charge money. They are not a car dealership, so no one will come if they charge too much.

"Forget it, I'll draw the blueprint and replace the steel shell for the customer." As the boss, he is definitely not comparable to a novice like Tiedan.

Sometimes, no matter how difficult the car is, we have to repair it for the customer. Otherwise, if the car can’t be repaired after a few times, our reputation will be ruined.

"No need." Qin Dahe waved his hand. "Tiedan, use gas shielded welding, reverse the DC connection, use a smaller current control, and keep your hands steady."

"If you can't figure it out, I'll do it. I remember teaching you how to weld aluminum."

"This one is too thin." Tiedan said sheepishly, "Let me try."

He did learn aluminum welding a few times, but he had few opportunities to do it himself, and only did a little welding at the repair shop.

The situation this time is special. It is too thin and the welding will be ruined if you are not careful. He also prefers to replace the shell directly.

A piece of steel sheet only costs a few dollars, but the delayed labor cost is more than that.

But since Qin Dahe had spoken, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

The boss knows a little about welding, but not much. His main skills are in engines and drawing. He is considered a top master.

He had also heard Tiedan talk about his master, and this time when he saw the real person giving instruction, he immediately asked the other masters to learn more.

Nowadays, car repair is a real car repair. If it can be repaired, it will not be replaced. There is a lot to learn.

Welding, electrical, mechanical structure, etc. In addition to specializing in one skill, a master chef must also know a little about other aspects.

According to the standards of a repair shop twenty years later, broken car doors would have to be replaced, but the owner is still trying to save customers some money.

But it was finally repaired. After some polishing and painting, it became a brand new car door.

Tiedan wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was really not easy. He almost welded it through just now.

"When you encounter such difficult things in the future, you must face the challenges head-on, otherwise how can you improve your skills?" Qin Dahe said with a smile as he took the cigarette handed to him.

Don’t be afraid when learning something. The more afraid you are, the worse you will learn.

"That's how it should be. I started as an apprentice and did whatever was difficult. I memorized all the parts of the engine." The boss sighed when he thought of his apprenticeship.

"At that time, other apprentices were afraid to work with the master on the engine. If they had a small part, they would be beaten. But I was brave and followed the master every day."

The old-style apprentices had an extremely miserable life. They had to bring their own rice, flour, grain and oil to learn the skills. Not only did they not get paid, they also had to help their master wash clothes and buy cigarettes.

Being beaten was commonplace, but nowadays apprentices at least have living expenses and will not be beaten at will.

"That's great! Life is easier for apprentices now." Qin Dahe followed with praise.

In fact, he knows nothing. When he was learning the craft, he was a warehouse manager. When the craftsmen had a lot of waste, they had to talk to him and ask him to give them more consumables.

"Brother, you are not that old. Where did you learn welding?" the boss asked curiously.

Tiedan is considered a half-master here. Just because he is good at welding, he is paid 800 yuan a month. Judging from this, Qin Dahe's skills should be quite impressive.

"Hi, I went to a junior college and also did an internship at a factory." He said evasively, not even bothering to mention his business administration major.

The boss believed it. In his era, junior college graduates were more awesome than university graduates.

"Great!"

"Dahe must be awesome. The boss in Shanghai is willing to pay him 5,000 a month to poach him." Tiedan said while working. It would be a relief if he could say something awesome.

The other chefs immediately looked at him with new eyes after hearing this. The salary and commission of the master chef here is only a little over 3,000 a month, which is considered very high.
It's surprising that someone offered a salary of 5,000, but when I think about the fact that he's a big boss who drives a Land Cruiser, I think it's reasonable.

Qin Dahe felt secretly happy when he heard others flatter him, thinking that the skill he taught was not in vain.

However, seeing that his bragging was likely to interfere with his work, he said goodbye.

Without a car, he would walk. The center of the county town was a crossroads, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost.

It's quite interesting to look at the county town that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Walking along the main road from the north of the city, you will see rusty rolling shutters, hardworking sanitation workers, and clothing store owners shouting their wares.

There is a radio hanging on the sanitation worker's tricycle, singing Lu Opera in a humming voice.

The windows of shops with only two floors at most are always green.

Even the asphalt road is uneven, so you have to watch your step when walking.
