It was already dark, the fire was gone, and only a few wisps of smoke and sewage were left on the ground. Lao Mu and Lao Cao stood side by side, looking at the car repair workshop that was almost burned to the ground, and lost their minds for a while. The brother-in-law went to the hospital, and the 120 ambulance accompanied the burned driver.

The cause of the fire was quickly investigated, and the cause of the accident caused by the starter.

After the driver came back, he was very honest and much more diligent than before. He knew that Lao Mu was in charge of the car repair shop now, and it was up to Lao Mu to beat him or drive him away. After suffering a loss in society, the already very clever starter is very discerning and knows who to slap in.

So, the starter never mentioned the salary and bonus, rushed to do the work, and took the initiative to work overtime, which was the case last night.

When a Volkswagen Bora passed through the pit, it knocked on the chassis and leaked oil all the way, and it was found that there were cracks in the oil pan. Change! The owner saw that it was not early, so he said that he would come to pick up the car the next day, and he was an old customer.

For the sake of performance, the starter volunteered to stay overtime and let everyone else go back to the dormitory to rest. It's not a big problem, everyone is up to him, and they disperse at the point, and the dormitory is in the community across the road.

In order to wipe the sludge off the chassis, the driver uses a lot of banana water, which is a serious violation of operating procedures. Without the supervision of others, the screwdriver does not care about you, naturally how convenient and how to come, the dirty cotton yarn soaked in banana water quickly accumulated a large pile on the side.

It didn't take much effort, the shell was replaced, and the screwdriver was done. In a good mood, plus I drank some wine at noon, I was not a regular person in my bones, and at this time he was left alone, and the unrestrained driver sat on the pony and lit a cigarette, and the eye-catching 'No Fireworks' big sign on the wall was changed by Lao Mu years ago.

The cigarette was lit, and he shook his hand to close the lid of the counterfeit ZIPPO lighter, but he didn't hold it properly, and the fake ZIPPO threw it directly onto the wet cotton yarn pile with the flames, and the fire gushed out in an instant, and the air wave that erupted knocked the driver over a heel.

On this day, it was only three days before the driver returned to Hengshuntong car repair shop.

The panicked starter hissed for help while hurriedly fighting the fire. There is nothing without oil in the auto repair workshop, and a few dry powder fire extinguishers are just like a drop in the bucket, and the fire will spread in the blink of an eye.

Truth be told, not burning him is the big problem.

The fire that occurred on the evening of March 13, 2005 next to the Badaling Expressway was on the CCTV evening news the next day.

.

After that, Hengshuntong car repair shop faced a high fine from the fire department, and also needed to pay the landlord money to repair the workshop, and a total of four vehicles to be repaired were burned in the workshop, which also had to be compensated, and all the belongings were burned. The uncle's hard-earned savings for more than ten years were all wiped out and not enough to compensate, and when the apprentices and workers were dismissed, they didn't even buy a train ticket.

However, the most troublesome thing is yet to come.

Even if you only work for three days, you are still an employee of your car dealership, and the starter is a work injury. 60% of the burned area, burned one ear and burned both hands, and the driver was finally assessed as a grade 5 disability due to work-related injuries.

In these years, how can such a car repair shop have any work contracts. Usually no one cares, but when something happens, some people are looking for trouble. The labor department, the safety supervision department, and the public security department ...... visit one by one, and it is one word - punishment!

A large bus of villagers came to the hometown, just one word - compensation!

It's really going to burn to death, according to the market in 2005, it will break 100,000 yuan, and it's a hundred. But now that he is so half-dead, it is really a trouble, even if it is all his own responsibility. The compensation for medical treatment, skin grafting, follow-up recuperation, and loss of labor ability ......, and the villagers are simply sorry for their ancestors if they don't open their mouths, and so many people don't think they can finally pick up some soup to drink.

The savings were cleared, but it was still far away, and the uncle was about to sell the house, but was stopped by Lao Mu. In 2005, the houses in the suburbs of Beijing were not worth much money, and even if they were sold, they were not necessarily enough. Besides, where do the people who sell their houses live?

"Uncle, I'll figure out the rest of the money." When Lao Mu said this, it had been two months since the fire.

.

Since that fire, Lao Mu has been thinking about what he should do. The uncle was completely disheartened, not to mention repairing the car again, he had the heart to jump into the river, and his biggest wish was to waste his time and wait for death after the matter was settled. But Lao Mu can't do this, he still has a long way to go.

There is only Lao Cao around, and the two of them have no other skills, so they can only continue to repair the car. It's not interesting to work for others, so Lao Mu decided to take his uncle's car repair shop next, and in fact, there is only that business license left. Carrying this pot to my uncle is because of love.

Lao Mu has calculated, including the compensation with new funds, at least six or seven hundred thousand, which is tantamount to an astronomical amount for Lao Mu, who only has food money left in his pocket at this time, but how bold a person is, how prolific he is.

Lao Mu knew that his brother Zhuo Yang had money, maybe this money was just a drizzle for Zhuo Yang, but he didn't open his mouth to Zhuo Yang, Lao Mu was afraid that Zhuo Yang was not borrowing, but giving. Even if such a big thing happened, he didn't mention it to Zhuo Yang, Haiyang and Jiushan for the time being.

"Brother Xiao, can you help me get a loan in the bank?" Lao Mu is looking for Xiao Yuanshan. The money in the bank has to be repaid, but Lao Mu is not afraid, as long as he can work, he is confident that he will pay off any debts.

Xiao Yuanshan knew that something had happened to the car dealership, and he had been waiting for Lao Mu to come to the door to speak and find him to be a peacemaker or a peacemaker. But I didn't expect that until today, Lao Mu opened his mouth, and he didn't expect that opening his mouth was to get a loan.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"Seven hundred thousand, if it doesn't work...... Six hundred thousand. ”

Xiao Yuanshan smiled dumbly, he called the bank, but he only borrowed 700,000 yuan, to be honest, it was a bit down. The amount below 10 million is not worth his hand at all, nor is it worth favoring. However, for the sake of the young man in front of him, Xiao Yuanshan planned to make an exception.

"Tell me what you think, let me hear it." Xiao Yuanshan asked Lao Mu.

Lao Mu told his plan in 1510, in fact, it was nothing more than to open a small car repair shop again after the matter was dealt with, and the scale was even worse than the previous uncle's Hengshuntong, that's all.

"Lao Mu, I won't hide it from you, 700,000 is not a problem at all for me." Xiao Yuanshan was noncommittal after listening to Lao Mu's plan. "This amount of money is not worth my appearance, but I can help you, and I also believe that it is only a matter of time before you can repay the money in the bank with your ability."

"But have you ever thought about making it bigger, and then making it bigger. Money is not an issue, it's just what you want to do. ”

"In this case, you go back and think about it for a few days, and then come to me when you think about it."

.

In 2005, when Beijing was at its hottest, Zhuo Yang heard the news of a fire in a car repair shop. At that time, it happened to be the day when Lao Mu took out a loan of 3.4 million yuan, the 4S store under the Changping plate, and in the Huilongguan Auto Parts City, the newly established Hengshuntong Auto Parts Company opened successively.
