Chapter 27 The Master Wants to Become an Apprentice
The awkward atmosphere was broken, and the rest of the conversation became very pleasant.
Gao Guoqiang and Secretary Hu both expressed their approval of Wang Yang and reminded him that there was a recent plan to support local businesses, which he could participate in.
This is good news for Wang Yang.
This means that in addition to his Hong Kong businessman background, he may also have local connections.
With local backing, Wang Yang can act more freely and also check and balance Hong Kong businessmen to prevent them from being sidelined in their decision-making.
After learning about the price of privately made motorcycles, Secretary Hu even paid for one himself, intending to use it for transportation.
"It's like a dream. It's only been a little over a month, and not only are we together, but we've also gained my father's approval."
Gao Xin, holding Wang Yang's hand, walked under the dim streetlights and sighed.
Before this, being with Wang Yang and gaining her father's approval were things Gao Xin never dared to dream of.
Wang Yang's hands were warm, which made Gao Xin feel very at ease.
"This is just the beginning, darling, we'll keep going."
……
"Wow, Lao Hu, this is a brand name product."
Secretary Hu rode the motorcycle that Wang Yang had hand-crafted to Yangcheng Auto, the leading auto repair company, to visit an old friend.
Neither Gao Guoqiang nor Secretary Hu could figure out the exact level of Wang Yang's skills.
Technical matters should be left to professionals.
"Old Sun, what brand is this? You'd better take a good look."
Secretary Hu waved his hand, explaining that he had come specifically to see Sun Desheng about the car.
Sun Desheng is quite a character.
In the early 1970s, Sun Desheng was already repairing vehicles for the military. He later moved around to different places and has been doing this job ever since.
In the auto repair industry, Sun Desheng has long been at the top.
Secretary Hu and Sun Desheng went fishing together several times, and the two became close friends despite their age difference.
"Wow, this huge Kida logo, you're telling me it's not a brand name product?"
Sun Desheng put down his tools, walked to the motorcycle, circled it a few times, and frowned.
"Hmm, it's definitely not a brand name product. The parts look a bit old, like it's from another brand..."
As a veteran of Yangcheng Auto, Sun Desheng not only possesses superb auto repair skills, but also had early exposure to foreign motorcycles.
It can be said that Sun Desheng's skills in the motorcycle field are among the best in the province, and even the whole country.
"This is a custom-built bike that a friend is using for practice. I think it rides pretty well. How's his skill level? Could you give me your feedback?"
Secretary Hu adopted a consultative manner, wanting Sun Desheng to help him assess Wang Yang's skills.
Wang Yang's automotive repair skills will determine the level of support he will provide to Chun'an Auto Repair Shop in the future.
"This clutch, this shock absorber, this engine displacement—you're telling me this is just a practice machine?"
Sun Desheng stroked the motorcycle as if it were a work of art.
Even someone as knowledgeable as him had never seen such a skillfully crafted privately modified motorcycle before.
It can be said that in terms of technology, it is in no way inferior to those major motorcycle manufacturers, and may even be far ahead.
"Is there a problem?"
Seeing Sun Desheng's appearance, Secretary Hu was somewhat bewildered.
Is this statement good or bad?
Does your friend take on apprentices?
Sun Desheng was deeply impressed by Wang Yang's skills and had the idea of learning from him.
In order to improve his skills, Sun Desheng traveled all over the province and the country, and learned from many automotive repair masters.
As a craftsman who has dedicated himself to his craft for over a decade, nothing is more appealing than superb skills.
Right before his eyes was something Sun Desheng wanted to learn.
"you mean?"
Secretary Hu was taken aback, a thought popping into his mind, and he found it hard to believe.
Could it be that…
No way...
"This motorcycle is simply a work of art. It balances aesthetics and performance while also incorporating aerodynamic and noise-dampening features. I want to become this master's apprentice!"
Sun Desheng made no attempt to hide his thoughts; he was eager to take things a step further.
"Isn't that a bit much?"
Secretary Hu was startled, then overjoyed.
He had expected Wang Yang to be very skilled, but he hadn't imagined he would be this skilled.
Secretary Hu knew very well what kind of temperament and competence Sun Desheng possessed.
Back then, it was thanks to Secretary Hu's superb fishing skills that he became close friends with Sun Desheng despite their age difference.
This elder's pursuit of his craft could be described as obsessive.
Driven by this personality, Sun Desheng's skills had already reached the pinnacle of the era.
In other words, Wang Yang's technology is far ahead of its time.
Wang Yang is not only a talented person, but an exceptionally talented person!
"Absolutely, absolutely! Little Hu, I'm begging you, I absolutely must learn a few tricks from this guy!"
……
After conducting a site survey, Wang Yang decided to locate the auto repair shop in a large warehouse not far from a scrap metal recycling station.
The warehouse used to imprison many people in the previous version, but it was later partially abandoned and can be considered a legacy of history.
There are only some old and miscellaneous items inside. After a little cleaning, we can move in the existing tools and parts and officially open for business.
"Back here again."
Accompanied by Yang Wenqing, Wang Yang brought a pile of materials to the subdistrict office again.
To secure the warehouse, you need to discuss specific leasing plans with the local street office and sign a formal contract.
Fortunately, with a letter of recommendation from the Liwan District Planning Bureau, the contract was a sure thing; the only question was how much money would be involved.
"Four thousand a month, no bargaining!"
Chen Jiande chuckled and said, "Finally, I've got a chance to trick Wang Yang."
In the past two weeks, Wang Yang has sold thirty to forty motorcycles, making him quite the talk of the town on Chun'an Street.
Even Chen Jiande secretly bought one, but he never admitted it, only saying that it was a second-hand luxury brand.
As the director of the subdistrict office, Chen Jiande was responsible for signing all the contracts for leasing public property within the subdistrict.
As long as Chen Jiande's prices don't exceed the market price by much, no one can say anything.
"Two thousand for an abandoned warehouse? You might as well rob a place!"
Even the usually calm Yang Wenqing was stunned when he heard the price.
That warehouse was only about 500 square meters, and it was a typical warehouse from the 1960s and 70s. There was an accident there, so it has been abandoned ever since.
Despite having such a warehouse, Chen Jiande still demanded an exorbitant price.
"This is the market price. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to rent it."
Chen Jiande smiled in a very lewd way. With the letter of recommendation, he had no choice but to rent to Wang Yang, but he could disgust Wang Yang.
"Okay, let's sign the contract."
Wang Yang calmly agreed without any expression on his face.
Renting a warehouse is only a temporary solution. Once Huang Hongguo gets the production line, he will buy land and build a large factory.
As for Chen Jiande, a clown like him, Wang Yang didn't take him seriously at all.
As the director of the subdistrict office, Chen Jiande has a history of abusing his power and seeking personal gain.
Wang Yang had already reported Chen Jiande to the planning bureau; this clown's act won't last much longer.
