The parking lot is a large open space. If it weren't for the wall, it would look like a threshing floor dug out of a farmland.
Most of the things parked here are abandoned agricultural machinery, rusty tractors and the like. In addition, there are old Dongfeng trucks and Jiefang trucks. The most common ones are the first-generation Dongfeng trucks, which look similar to the first-generation Jiefang trucks.
, the locals call it Dongfengtou.
The dozen or so 212 jeeps are the smallest among them, and most of them are in terrible condition, with only a few in relatively new condition.
Farms have a huge demand for commuter vehicles with off-road capabilities, and there are still a large number of 212 Jeeps on the market. No matter how rich Xilin Farm is, it cannot afford to use a Pajero worth more than 300,000 yuan as a work commuter vehicle.
In fact, for grassroots workers, walking tractors and trucks are most commonly used to travel between heaven and earth. The 212 Jeep is the vehicle used by leaders at the grassroots level.
Hao Dongchuan called two workers to bring two barrels of gasoline, pointed to a 212 jeep that had obviously been cleaned, and said, "Xiao Yao, look at it, that's the car. It's the fastest one. Lao Yu personally
Picked."
Yao Yuan is a professional and is not afraid of getting dirty, so he started checking it.
When Lin Wei saw this car, he didn't even want to move his eyes to other places, as if he couldn't put it down.
After checking it, Yao Yuan clapped his hands and said, "The car is in good condition. I got a bargain."
Hao Dongchuan smiled and said, "What kind of bargain is this? You have paid enough. Besides, this car is just for storage, and it takes up space."
Yao Yuan pointed to hundreds of agricultural machinery and abandoned trucks, and said, "Chief Hao, can I take a tour?"
Hao Dongchuan waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with this? Just watch it."
Then he walked around with Yao Yuan.
I originally thought that Yao Yuan was just looking casually, but I found that he looked very carefully and checked with his hands from time to time. The fat man also followed suit, and it was obvious that he was also a person who knew mechanics.
"Xiao Yao, do you have any ideas?" Hao Dongchuan asked with a smile.
Yao Yuan was about to explain when he suddenly saw a familiar silhouette in the grass in the distance. He pointed with his hand and asked, "Is that a car?"
Hao Dongchuan looked up, thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "It should be, it's all grass."
Yao Yuan walked over and Lin Wei quickly followed.
The description "the grass on the grave is more than one meter high" is very appropriate, but it can still be seen that it is a sedan, all the windshields are broken, and weeds have grown into the car.
"Get a hoe." Yao Yuan said to Lin Wei.
Lin Wei was about to leave, but Hao Dongchuan quickly stopped him and said, "I'll have someone get it."
He called the two workers over and asked them to bring them weeding tools.
Yao Yuan and Lin Wei pulled out the weeds in front of the car, revealing the engine compartment. When he saw the huge air intake grille and the three round separate headlights on the left and right, his eyes almost popped out.
!
This is a Mercedes Benz w109!
Yao Yuan rushed in to look for the car's nameplate.
His action shocked everyone, and they didn't understand why he was suddenly so excited.
The Mercedes-Benz W109 produced in 1970 is extremely rare and the last generation of high-end sedan before the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This model of Mercedes-Benz is all bulletproof!
Yao Yuan suppressed his excitement and waited patiently for the workers to come over. Together they cleared away the weeds, revealing the true face of the car.
After wiping off the dirt and dust on the car body, what Yao Yuan didn't expect was that the silver paint was actually well preserved, with only scratch marks on the corners. However, the roof of the car was bloody and had obvious scratches.
Traces of objects being smashed.
He immediately checked the condition of the vehicle and was so busy that he was sweating profusely. Lin Wei didn't understand. He helped clean up the weeds and other things in the car. He couldn't figure out why Yao Yuan was interested in this car that had been abandoned for at least ten years.
Such great interest.
Hao Dongchuan was even more surprised when he discovered that this young man with quite an elite aura had a hobby of picking up junk. The cars and machinery in the parking lot were all sold for scrap, but no one was willing to take the time to deal with them.
Xilin Farm has more than 15,000 employees, tens of thousands of temporary workers hired locally, and hundreds of thousands of local farmers who rely on the farm. The amount of money coming in and out has never been a small amount since the day it was founded, reaching millions.
The finance department wouldn't even take a second look at the expenditures.
Who cares about the scrap metal in the parking lot?
He, the chief of the Materials Section, is inconspicuous in the administration. If compared to the local government, he is at the same level as the mayor, and he has never paid attention to the scrap metal in the parking lot.
If it weren't for Yao Yuan's visit and being friends with the director and the driver, Hao Dongchuan wouldn't be willing to accompany him here to bask in the sun.
After some inspection, Yao Yuan, who was covered in sweat, was pleasantly surprised to find that none of the three major parts of this rare Mercedes-Benz w109 had serious faults. In his opinion, it was worth repairing!
Bulletproof Mercedes Benz!
Yao Yuan licked his lips subconsciously and asked Hao Dongchuan with a smile, "Chief Hao, is this car for sale?"
"This..." Hao Dongchuan hesitated.
After being stunned for a moment, Hao Dongchuan smiled and explained, "Don't get me wrong, Xiao Yao. It's not that I won't sell it, but I don't know the specific condition of this car now. This car is already scrap metal, why did you buy it?"
Yao Yuan said with a smile, "I am engaged in mechanical research. This is a German car, which is helpful to my research. You know, even buying a second-hand German car costs a lot of money, and it may not be available.
.This abandoned car is just the right time for me to take it back and dismantle it to do some research."
"So that's it." Hao Dongchuan thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, just wait a moment and I'll check the roster to see what's going on with this car. If it's a scrap car under the control of our Materials Department, then
It’s easy to handle.”
Yao Yuan agreed wholeheartedly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Hao Dongchuan smiled and said, "You're welcome, I'm a little older, so just call me Lao Hao."
"Brother Hao, then I won't be polite to you." Yao Yuan took out another Chinese cigarette and handed one over.
Hao Dongchuan asked the parking attendant to bring over the roster. After checking, he found that there was no relevant record for this car.
The administrator who was about to retire said, "Chief Hao, I've seen the parking lot for thirty years, and this car is not registered. It used to be the director's special car at the time, but it broke down and couldn't be repaired, so it was parked here.
Just twenty years."
Hao Dongchuan frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult to handle."
He thought for a while and said, "Xiao Yao, please wait a moment, I'll call and ask."
He went to the administrator's house and called the director of the logistics department to ask, "Director, it's just a pile of scrap metal. Sooner or later it will be sold to a junk collector. I think it will have to be dealt with sooner or later. Now someone wants to buy it back for research, so why not deal with it?"
It’s more cost-effective than selling scrap metal.”
"Since this is the situation, just watch and deal with it." The director said casually.
It was just a car that had been abandoned for twenty years. If it weren't for the lack of records, Hao Dongchuan would have made the decision himself.
In the end, the two parties reached a transaction price of 1,000 yuan, which Yao Yuan insisted on paying, while Hao Dongchuan planned to ask for two to three hundred yuan.
Hao Dongchuan found a crane to lift the car onto the truck. Because the car body was relatively wide, the guardrails on both sides of the truck had to be lowered and then fixed with flat nylon ropes as wide as the palm of your hand.
It’s almost noon after all the busy work.
Yao Yuan and Hao Dongchuan made an appointment for a place to have dinner in the evening, drove the 212 jeep ahead, and returned to the county town with Lin Wei.
Bringing the old man back to the scrapyard, Yao Yuan asked Lin Xiaohu to find a crane to unload the truck and clean up the yard at the same time.
Yao Yuan thought that he had to find a place. After all, the strange old man's place was not a long-term solution.
He told Lin Xiaohu to continue rectifying the scrap station and drove Jeep 212 straight to the city. The most important thing right now was to deposit the huge sum of 1.2 million in the bank. It was not safe to put it anywhere.
The distance from Xihai County to the city is 20 kilometers. When passing through Tiange Village, the road ahead was blocked by a walking tractor.
The walking tractor looked broken and was parked diagonally in the middle of the road, blocking the way.
Lin Wei was about to get out of the car and go to check the situation. Yao Yuan frowned and suddenly said, "Don't get out of the car! They were robbed on the road!"
