"What about the wheels? We need a few small wheels about one foot in diameter. We also need leather seat cushions and leather backrests for the car. Where can I get them?"
Wang Mingkun showed some joy and hurriedly stated some of his other needs. He was sure that he was ready to get some benefits from Wu Youxin.
After hearing this, Wu Youxin looked at the car frame and asked, "Are you going to put it on top, tow it with a car, and then tow back the cars in question?"
Wang Mingkun nodded and called Bi Wensen over and asked him to tell him the dimensions of the trailer's axles.
When they came back, Bi Wensen had already completed all the preparations. After several people helped knock in the fixing rivets, the trailer was basically in shape, but there were no suitable wheels available.
...Uh...Okay! Actually, he had thought of this before going to the dock, but after he went there, he was just busy pretending to do this and that, so he forgot about it.
"There should be a suitable one at one store. However, if only one wheel is installed on that kind of wheel, I'm afraid it won't be able to bear the weight of the car. It would be more stable to use one axle and four wheels, eight in total."
"...Okay..." Wang Mingkun nodded. It would be more troublesome if something went wrong if he didn't get it right. It would be better to just do it in one step.
"As for leather cushions for cars, there are specialized shops that make them. The quality depends on the price. You can buy ready-made ones with suitable specifications and install them, or they can be specially customized."
Wang Mingkun nodded, pointed to the car ordered by the elder brother, and asked Wu Youxin how much it would cost to get a ready-made one with better quality.
"This car has a lot of seats. If I go and get it, it will cost about ten yuan." Wu Youxin opened his mouth and quoted a price.
"Is this a bit expensive?" Wang Mingkun frowned. Although he guessed that this was probably the market price, he still had to show his attitude.
Wu Youxin said, explaining: "These things in the car are not cheap. I suggest that there is no need to buy new ones. The cars are all second-hand. It is enough to buy second-hand ones. The price can be cheaper by more than half, and the second-hand ones are also cheaper."
Most of them have just been used and have no problems."
After hearing this, Wang Mingkun replied: "Let's use a new one for this set! Can you help me calculate how much it will cost in total? I'll give you the money. Could you please help me make a trip and drive there by the way?"
Go to the customer's place and show it to them."
Wu Youxin heard this and agreed to the matter. He roughly estimated that it would cost at least forty or fifty. The most important thing was the eight wheels, which were not cheap. Moreover, it was just an iron wheel covered with a layer of rubber. If tires were used, I don't know how much more would be needed.
Turn it over as much as you want.
Wang Mingkun's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he regretted a little, but in the end he gave the money to the other party and filled up the gas in his car.
"Brother, don't you want to go with me?" Wu Youxin got into the driver's seat, but when he saw that Wang Mingkun didn't get in the car, he couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Wu, you can just take a trip for me. I still have a lot of work here!"
Wang Mingkun opened his mouth with a smile, then leaned over and asked him in a low voice to go to the pier and see if he could ask Brother Scar to keep all those bad cars, at least keep the pickup truck with him.
truck.
After Wu Youxin listened, his eyes checked for a while to see if he was telling lies. He hesitated for a while before agreeing.
"...Hey...how did you bring this car back?" The car stopped in front of him and he looked at Wu Youxin in the driver's seat with a scarred face full of surprise.
"They gave it to me. Let me help you buy something!" Wu Youxin said with a proud look.
"You're not talking nonsense? Didn't you trick someone into taking his car?" Scarface looked in disbelief. How could this guy have such good intentions? And there was no one from the other party following him in the car. How could anyone trust you so much?
"How dare you? I got it right before. Those guys have extraordinary identities. I have to have the courage to lie to them!" Wu Youxin immediately cried out, how could he be blamed for something he didn't do?
Scarface looked surprised when he heard it. After looking at it, it didn't look like he was lying. He asked, "What's the origin? You're so scared, yet you still act like an errand boy for me?"
"What errands? How disgusting it sounds! I have changed my ways and will sell repaired cars for them from now on!" Wu Youxin put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
"Did you take the wrong medicine? I asked you to help me sell the car before, but you tried to evade it, but now you rush to do it for me?" Scarface became even more curious now.
"Can it be the same? If I do it for you, you have to pump a lot of water. Why don't you help others bargain with you! Look how happy they are paying today." Wu Youxin was a little disdainful.
Scarface was very unhappy after hearing this, and said angrily: "I'm not asking you to do it, do you have a chance to make that kind of money? Besides, what I gave was a normal commission, I didn't take any commission, I earned another
share of money.”
"Another amount of money? What other amount of money can you earn here?" Wu Youxin didn't believe it, with a look of doubt on his face.
When Scarface saw this, he smiled angrily, moved closer, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know who is behind the scenes to sell these cars from abroad?"
"Who is he?" Wu Youxin immediately stuck his head out when he heard that there was a big melon.
"People from the oil company!" There was nothing he couldn't reveal, Scarface told him in one sentence.
"Oil company?" Wu Youxin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and lowered his voice, but he was still astonished.
"Hold the grass! These guys are so dark!" Wu Youxin simply didn't know what to say. The games they played before were really playing tricks in front of this!
"Who says it's not?" Scarface also commented and said: "As long as the car starts running, you have to send them a steady stream of money. It is estimated that the car will run for ten days and a half, and the little money you give me will be enough."
You can earn back all the benefits."
"...Hmm..." Wu Youxin agreed with his face. Just as he was about to retract his neck, Scarface grabbed Guo's neck. He also realized why! He quickly revealed the details about Wang Mingkun and others.
"They were supported by banks and companies that invested in real estate. It was right next to the public concession. It was said that it was rented to them at a low price..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Scarface relaxed Wu Youxin, and he could guess the general situation after hearing a rough outline of the situation. The people in their gang did not know much about this kind of situation.
few.
After all, who wouldn’t want to take a bite of such a big piece of fat? Unfortunately, in the end, anyone who dared to reach out to fish it out would either have their hands chopped off or even be hacked. Over the years, overtly and covertly, the gangs have been planted on this
I don't know how many people there are, but those who get a piece of the pie are very rare.
Hearing this, Scarface also understood why this guy's ideas changed so quickly. Not to mention tricking the other party, he had to run errands even if others asked him to!
"The car was repaired so quickly. It's true that they have a lot of brushes. No wonder they were valued and opened a shop for them!" Scarface also complimented him.
When Wu You heard the news, he immediately got excited and boasted: "This car has been repaired a long time ago. Even the two-seater convertible is only missing the last tremor..."
"What are the backgrounds of these people? These people are pretty awesome!" If I had only praised the person standing behind the opponent before, but now I have to admit that this person is indeed pretty awesome!
"I heard that he is a mechanic from a large factory out of town. He is usually responsible for repairing various machines in the factory. Recently, he was attacked by foreign goods and the factory closed down. He came to Shanghai..."
The rhetoric of Wang Mingkun and others has been spread in a small area near the car repair shop, and Wu Youxin also heard about it.
"...Well..." Scarface nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's good for you to sell cars to people. Many factories are in bad condition now. It is estimated that more people will get involved soon. Then you will
It will definitely be difficult to continue those deceptive things."
"Then he must be fooling around with others! If any of the car buyers you introduce also has the intention to buy a house, introduce them there. Once the deal is completed, what's the point of trying to get that little money?"
Scarface's mouth twitched when he heard this. This guy has been out of tune all day long, so he had no choice but to advise: "Instead of thinking about whether these things are available, it is better to pay attention to the homeowners over there and see if they have the intention to buy a car, and get a deal with this amount."
Trading is more realistic for you."
"...I know, I know..." Wu Youxin curled his lips and said: "Brother Scar, my boss asked you to tell me if you can keep all those bad cars for him, especially the pickup truck and the truck...
"
"Business must be running normally, and those who buy will definitely sell. However, there are not many people buying now, so most of them should be able to keep them. As for those two cars, let them keep them!"
"...Then I'm leaving..." Scarface finished his words. The guy responded, started the car, turned a corner, and disappeared in a flash.
Wu Youxin ran around to buy the things he needed, and finally ran to pick them up. The customer he contacted beforehand asked him to help find a good car.
After the customer came over, he watched Wang Mingkun and others process the axle properly, and then reassemble the parts with almost no problems.
Afterwards, I tried the car for several laps and found no problems at all. I didn't find anything wrong with it. The driving experience was even better than that of a new car.
The customer was amazed, boasting about the craftsmanship of several people, and happily chose to buy it. Wu Youxin helped negotiate the price to 230 yuan and the deal was completed.
Wang Mingkun chose to pay half of the selling price as commission, totaling eleven and a half yuan, which made Wu Youxin very happy. He made a lot of money by cheating people, but there were also a lot of people who shared it. He was still on the periphery and could not get a single share.
How much, not to mention the real money earned, is not the same as cheating people.
The older brother's ordinary Model T car was also cleaned up and reassembled. There was no problem with the car when it was tested. All that was left to do later was to put on the new leather cushions after painting them.
Seeing that a new set of leather cushions had been bought for him, the eldest brother was also happy. Knowing that several people were short of funds, he called home before leaving work and sent money to settle the payment first.
At this point, Wang Mingkun and the others, before the car repair shop officially opened, have done the first two orders. After excluding the cost and expenses, the financial income is not too much, but they also made a profit from a pickup truck and the trailer, so I guess half of it!
There is also a car that has not been recovered and a car with missing parts.
After handling the axle, Bi Wensen installed a tow hook on the pickup truck. Although he was very tired, Wang Mingkun decided to continue to work hard. He drove the pickup truck and dragged the newly assembled trailer while there were not too many people on the street.
, sailed towards the pier.
First, he towed back the car that he had not brought back during the day, and then used part of the proceeds to buy a few more broken-down cars from Brother Scar. In the end, he hurriedly towed back two of them, and then stopped.
.
One is that there are many people outside, so it is troublesome to avoid the main roads with many people. The other is that the trailer was temporarily built, and many defects and deficiencies have appeared. It will be modified and adjusted at night, and it will be safer to tow tomorrow.
It's appropriate, but at this point, the business of a few people has been completed and is initially on the right track.
