Reborn in 1992, from a car repair shop to an automotive empire

Chapter 15 Zero Scrap Items? Andy Lau's Style!

"Brother Yang, it's all done! Not only did we get the scrap metal collection license, but we also found a truck driver!"

A few days later, Liu Hui, who was familiar with the process, helped Wang Feng resolve the issue of his waste recycling qualification.

Wang Feng then used his connections and found an old friend who owned a Jiefang C141 truck to take orders and transport goods.

The Jiefang C141, with a payload of five tons, was the core force in freight transport in the 1990s.

With the qualification to purchase scrap metal, along with the purchase records of the dredging team and the Jiefang C141 truck, any amount of goods could be safely delivered back to Guangzhou.

"Well done, all the goods have been retrieved, just waiting for us to pick them up."

Wang Yang hasn't been idle these past few days either. He's found several suitable tool sets and has been coordinating with Li Zhi's cargo retrieval work throughout the process.

Wang Yang had taken stock of the goods he had received; they were enough to make at least forty motorcycles, far exceeding his expectations.

Moreover, these discarded parts were all taken from a book dismantling shop truck, and their appearance was still in excellent condition.

Among them are many branded used parts, all of which are high-quality items.

If these parts can be repaired, the profit margin will be several times higher.

Others might not be able to fix these parts, but Wang Yang, with decades of auto repair experience, can handle them with ease.

On Chun'an Street, quite a few business owners have already contacted Zhang Qiang to order privately modified motorcycles, and some have even paid deposits.

A chance to make a fortune was right in front of him, and Wang Yang's extensive experience in auto repair was the key to unlocking that opportunity.

……

Chun'an Street.

A peaceful weekend.

A Jiefang truck, carrying iron lumps of various shapes, stacked into a steel mountain in the back, slowly drove into the street.

The scrap parts came in various shapes and sizes, making it difficult to load them all onto the truck at once. Wang Yang had no choice but to transport them in two separate trips.

"Is this a whole truckload of stuff? Is Wang Yang on it?"

"It can't be him, can it? But now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like him."

"You big idiot, do you think that kid from the Wang family could afford a whole truckload of goods?"

Unaware of the situation, the residents curiously examined the Jiefang truck and Wang Yang in the passenger seat, and began to whisper among themselves.

Jiefang trucks were used to transport goods for state-owned enterprises and big bosses.

For ordinary small stalls and shops, a tricycle is enough to deliver the goods; there's no need for this thing.

But now, sitting on top of it is Wang Yang, the son of the owner of Wang's Auto Repair Shop on the street.

Even if it's delivering goods to the big boss, it wouldn't be a child's turn.

Hi, long time no see!

Wang Yang sat in the passenger seat and deliberately rolled down the window, as if he were waving to his friends in the crowd.

In reality, none of Wang Yang's friends were in the crowd; he just wanted to show his face.

"Holy crap, is it really Wang Yang?"

"This can't possibly be the Wang family's goods! It's piled up like a mountain; it's definitely being delivered to some big boss!"

Wang Yang deliberately had the driver drive on the main street; that was the effect he wanted.

Zhang Baoguo used a Mutian motorcycle to create the sensation caused by Wang Yang.

During this period, a large number of business owners who wanted to buy cars went to Zhang Baoguo.

But Zhang Baoguo didn't have a car, so he could only make them wait.

Wang Yang drove down the street in a Jiefang brand truck, intending to convey one message to potential customers.

Wang Yang has motorcycles in stock here.

"Yang-ge! What's this new thing you've got? And it's covered with a tarpaulin?"

The engine roared to life as Zhao Jiahao rode his motorcycle slowly alongside the car window, waving to Wang Yang.

Since getting his motorcycle, Zhao Jiahao has been riding high.

It not only attracted attention but also served as a passenger transport service, which earned the father's approval.

Zhao Jiahao had been looking for an opportunity to thank Wang Yang, but he found that Wang Yang was not on Chun'an Street and only returned today.

"Take a guess, what else could it be?"

"This looks... Holy crap! Yang, you didn't actually get a whole pickup truck full of motorcycles, did you?!"

Zhao Jiahao made no attempt to conceal his volume, shouting loudly.

"A pickup truck of motorcycles...!"

Zhao Jiahao's shout attracted the attention of the onlookers.

The onlookers already knew the price of the motorcycles from Zhang's repair shop, so they were all shocked.

A pickup truck or a motorcycle, how much would that cost?

"Keep your voice down, this is taken."

Privately modified motorcycles are not respectable, but they still need publicity, so Wang Yang deliberately let Zhao Jiahao guess.

It was Zhao Jiahao who guessed the motorcycle, not Wang Yang.

Wang Yang has always collected scrap metal.

Motorcycle? What kind of motorcycle?

I collect scrap metal. The motorcycle was consigned by someone else, its origin is traceable, and it has all the necessary licenses.

With a waste recycling license and a consignment permit, Wang Yang's sources of goods and sales channels are relatively secure.

It can be said that as long as Wang Yang does not admit it and files his taxes normally, it will be very difficult to find out the problem.

"Brother Wang, do you have any new cars?"

Zhao Jiahao followed Wang Yang all the way to the scrap metal recycling station and asked him about the new car.

Zhang Baoguo got a brand-name car and parked it at the entrance, stealing the limelight from Zhao Jiahao.

What's even more infuriating is that Zhang Baoguo just displays the items without actually selling them, purely to tempt people.

"Your car has a huge engine displacement; most brands can't compare. Aren't you satisfied?"

Wang Yang looked at Zhao Jiahao's motorcycle and asked, puzzled.

Almost all of those parts were hand-modified by Wang Yang, which took a lot of effort.

"Yang-ge, I really like the look and the engine displacement of your car, but you know what I mean..."

Wang Yang understood; Zhao Jiahao's family was wealthy, and he was a second-generation rich kid who liked to attract attention.

It's normal to be fickle and easily bored.

"Here's what I'm going to do: I have a flying coffin-shaped vehicle shell here. Leave the vehicle, and I'll modify the shell for you."

Wang Yang checked his inventory, which included many brand-name frames and parts.

One of the Suzuki RG500 motorcycles, even though it was just a shell, surprised Wang Yang.

This is a collector's edition with only 500 units produced worldwide, priced at hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

Kowloon Walled City is truly a gathering place for experts; I really don't know how they got this thing.

"A flying coffin? What kind of vehicle is that?"

Zhao Jiahao looked confused; his social circle was too low-level to access such luxury cars.

"You didn't know that? It's the one Andy Lau rode!"

Wang Yang leaned closer and said, feigning surprise.

In the movie "A Moment of Romance", the character "Knife" played by Andy Lau drives a Suzuki RG500, which is known as the "widow maker".

Andy Lau plays a triad member who rides a limited-edition motorcycle, carrying a wealthy heiress dressed in a wedding gown, speeding through the streets of Hong Kong – a classic scene from a Hong Kong film.

This is also the starting point for many people's Moto dream.

"Andy Lau?! Really?!"

Zhao Jiahao didn't know anything about flying coffins, but he did know Andy Lau.

Andy Lau's car is no ordinary vehicle.

Absolutely amazing!

"Really, and the price is very attractive. The whole car costs hundreds of thousands, but the body shell is not worth much. I'll only sell it to you for two thousand."

"I'll also send you a new frame; it'll definitely look much better than your current one!"

"So, do you want it or not? If not, I'll give it to someone else!"

Wang Yang's tone was very soft, but it struck Zhao Jiahao's heart like a heavy hammer.

Two thousand yuan to completely remodel a Liu Dehua-style outfit?

It's totally worth it!

"Brother Yang, please leave this for me! From now on, you'll be my older brother! I'm going back to my dad right now to get the money!"

Zhao Jiahao was extremely excited. He left his motorcycle behind and hurried back to his destination, afraid that if he was any later, the items would be gone.

"Making money is not easy."

Looking at the mountain of motorcycle parts in front of him, Wang Yang swallowed hard.

Now we've got some work to do.
